Chapter 689 Be Friends

Not long after Gu Chen lay down, he heard snoring coming from the bed a few meters away from him. After hearing it, he turned off all the lights in the room and listened to Jiang Zhen's snoring in the darkness while shaking his head.

Although Jiang Zhen said that he couldn't sleep, Gu Chen understood him and knew that he was old and physically unable to work for long periods of time, so he tried his best to persuade him to rest.

As expected, Gu Chen knew Jiang Zhen better. Jiang Zhen fell asleep within a few minutes of lying down.

Jiang Zhen's snoring was heard by his ear. After Gu Chen persuaded him to rest, he lay on the bed himself, but he couldn't sleep because of insomnia.

What Jiang Zhen had just said to him kept circling in Gu Chen's mind. Gu Chen had also thought about whether he should express his feelings to Jiang Mubai, but because he didn't know how Jiang Mubai felt about him, Gu Chen was so hesitant.

Gu Chen tossed and turned and finally fell asleep before dawn. When he woke up, it was already daybreak. He didn't wake up on his own, but because he heard some noise and was worried about Jiang Zhen being alone.

"Wake up! Did I disturb you with the noise?"

"No, why didn't Godfather call me when he got up?"

"When I woke up, I saw you were still sleeping. You were sleeping so soundly that I didn't have the heart to wake you up. Anyway, I can handle these things by myself."

Gu Chen got up from the bed immediately after hearing this. Jiang Zhen saw him and asked him, "Don't you want to sleep a little longer? It's still early."

"No, I can't sleep for long anyway so I might as well just get up."

As time passed, the old house gradually became lively again. Today, the dining table in the restaurant was full of people. This was the first time that Jiang Mubai saw a full table since he came to the old house.

Jiang An hadn't come down yet. She didn't know these people and didn't know what to address them. But Jiang Mubai knew that the sudden arrival of so many people at the old house was related to Jiang Jinglan. After all, Chen Qingyu and Jiang Ping only had her as their daughter, so of course they were willing to invite all these people back to the Jiang family to help for her.

Jiang Mubai took a quick glance and saw that the people present were all older than Jiang Ping and Jiang An brothers, which showed that they had extraordinary identities and status. They must be the elders and elderly people in the Jiang family.

Although Jiang An had not come down from upstairs to introduce everyone to Jiang Mubai, Jiang Zhen came down to complete the task on Jiang An's behalf. When Gu Chen showed up in the restaurant, he saw Jiang Mubai at a glance.

He learned about Jiang Mubai being brought back by Jiang An from Jiang Zhen. No one knew how happy he was when he heard the news. He had been holding back his joy in order to prevent Jiang Zhen from discovering it. Little did he know that Jiang Zhen had already understood his feelings for Jiang Mubai.

"Mubai."

After Jiang Mubai followed Jiang Zhen and greeted everyone, she heard Jiang Zhen calling her, so she turned around and looked over at him curiously.

"Grandpa Jiang."

"This is Gu Chen. You used to play together when you were little. Do you remember?"

Jiang Zhen said as he quickly pushed Gu Chen out for Jiang Mubai to see, "Hello, Mubai! I'm Gu Chen."

"Hello, I'm sorry I don't remember anything from my childhood."

Gu Chen's heart sank when he heard Jiang Mubai say this, but fortunately he didn't show any sign on his face, so no one knew he was disappointed.

"It's okay. After all, it's been so many years, so it's normal that you don't remember. We were all still young at that time. But now that Uncle An has found you, we will have a chance to get in touch later. I hope we can become friends again then."

When Jiang Mubai first saw Gu Chen, her attitude was very cold. After all, she was like this towards people she didn't know. But after seeing how sincerely he spoke, Jiang Mubai had a good impression of him.

She has always been alone in the Jiang family. Jiang Jinglan is the same age as her but they are not on the same path. Now there is someone of similar age who wants to be friends with her. Jiang Mubai has a vague expectation in her heart. She hopes that what Gu Chen said is true. If it is true, she will not be so lonely in the Jiang family in the future.

"Okay, nice to meet you."

Gu Chen felt happy when he noticed Jiang Mubai's change in attitude towards him: "Let's sit down and eat first, and we can talk when we are free later."

Seeing Gu Chen like this, Jiang Mubai nodded and said nothing more. Chen Qingyu and Jiang Ping also came down from upstairs to invite everyone to have breakfast together. When Chen Qingyu saw Jiang Mubai sitting in the restaurant, she came over and asked about her situation.

Jiang Mubai knew that Chen Qingyu did this for Jiang Jinglan, but she really didn't like Chen Qingyu's attentiveness. Gu Chen, who was standing by, noticed it and quickly diverted Chen Qingyu's attention from Jiang Mubai to somewhere else.

Seeing that Chen Qingyu was no longer paying attention to him, Jiang Mubai smiled at Gu Chen with gratitude, and his affection in his eyes was not concealed.

Jiang An still hadn't come down to have breakfast, so Chen Qingyu planned to go up and call him in person, but she was afraid that Jiang An would be unhappy if he saw her thinking about Jiang Jinglan. After much hesitation, she gave up.

Jiang Zhen saw the worries in Jiang Ping and Chen Qingyu's hearts and tried to smooth things over, "Let's eat first. If An isn't here, just ignore him. He must have something else to deal with or he may have gotten up earlier than us and eaten."

"Yeah, yeah, he's old enough to take care of himself, so let's not worry about him."

In fact, in order to avoid meeting Jiang Ping and Chen Qingyu, Jiang An had asked the kitchen to prepare breakfast for him and bring it to his room. Jiang Mubai received a message from Jiang An early in the morning, asking him not to wait for him to have breakfast.

Seeing Jiang An sending such a message, Jiang Mubai felt worried and couldn't help asking a few more questions. Jiang An saw her like this and explained to her carefully.

Things turned out just as Jiang Mubai had thought. Jiang An did this just to avoid meeting Chen Qingyu and Jiang Ping. Seeing that he insisted, Jiang Mubai decided not to persuade him anymore.

When everyone was halfway through breakfast, Chen Qingyu ran to the kitchen before finishing her meal. She did not come back until they had finished their breakfast. Jiang Mubai knew that Chen Qingyu had gone to the ancestral hall to bring food to Jiang Jinglan.

After everyone finished eating, they all came to the living room to wait for Jiang An to come down from upstairs to deal with Jiang Jinglan's issue. Jiang Mubai was the last one to finish eating. Gu Chen, who was accompanying Jiang Zhen, saw this and came to the hall first to sit and wait without saying anything.

After everyone had finished eating, Jiang An finally came down from upstairs.

He was not surprised at all that so many people came to the old house. He thought that someone must have informed Jiang An about this yesterday. Now the old house was full of Jiang An's people. Without his permission, Jiang Zhen and his people might not be able to enter.

After Jiang Zhen saw that everyone had gathered, he sent out the servants working in the old house. Seeing this, Jiang An called out the bodyguards he had brought with him to guard the place.

Jiang Zhen was very satisfied to see that Jiang An was relatively calm, so he told him about what happened today when everyone came to the old house. Jiang An didn't say anything and just listened quietly. Jiang Mubai knew that Jiang An was waiting for people in the family to ask questions, and then Jiang An would just throw all the bad things Jiang Jinglan had done in front of these people.
