This Gong Xin Yi, not coming and not even calling, just sending a message.
When she's busy, when does she have the time to check messages on her phone?
"I'm so sorry, everyone," Leng Xi Yue apologized to everyone, "Xin Yi couldn't make it because of company matters, let's start eating, I'll go warm up the cold dishes."
"No need to warm them, can't wait any longer!" Wu Gang, unable to wait, grabbed a pancake and shoved it into his mouth, he was already starving.
"Mommy, I don't need it warmed either," Da Ya said, picking up her porridge to drink.
"Finally, we can eat!" Liu Ya grabbed an egg with each hand, desperately stuffing them into her mouth.
The other four adorable girls also had no manners, clearly very hungry.
That darned kids' dad! Leng Xi Yue inwardly complained bitterly, picking up a pancake and eating it tastelessly.
After cleaning up, thinking of Gong Xin Yi's message about coming for lunch filled her with new hope.
Asking Jin Yu to help watch the children, she personally went to the market to buy a variety of ingredients, and then busied herself cooking. She wanted to prepare her best dishes for Gong Xin Yi to taste.
At the Gong family's old house.
Gong Xin Yi ate breakfast reluctantly with Madame Gong, with Zhou Tian and Zhao Lin staying silent.
Madame Gong said in a very good mood, "That's right, a family should always be together. From now on, you all must come here to eat every meal on time, no one is allowed to miss it."
"I can't do that, I have plans at noon," Gong Xin Yi said coldly.
"What plans? Can't you cancel them?" Madame Gong frowned.
"It's not easy to cancel, I've already made an appointment with someone," Gong Xin Yi stated firmly.
Zhou Tian knew Gong Xin Yi was going to see Leng Xi Yue. He also wanted to see Leng Xi Yue, to ask her face to face if she really was carrying Gong Xin Yi's child.
So, he supported Gong Xin Yi, "Grandma, I also have plans at noon, we won't be eating here."
"Bang!" Madame Gong slammed the table hard, angrily saying, "You've all grown up, your wings are fully feathered, and you no longer see the need for this old lady in your eyes!"
"Grandma!"
"Grandma!"
Both Gong Xin Yi and Zhou Tian felt very stifled; this elderly lady really had such a strong desire to control!
Zhao Lin calmly said, "Xin Yi, Xiao Tian, actually, the old lady has important matters to attend to today, and she really hopes you can be present to prevent her from being deceived."
"What does Grandma want to do?" Zhou Tian asked curiously.
Glancing at Gong Xin Yi, Zhao Lin explained, "Yesterday, your grandma went to your cousin's house, right? Your cousin's doctor gave her a piece of clamshell fragment. Yesterday afternoon, your grandma had an archaeology expert appraise it, and the expert said that the clamshell is over ten thousand years old."
"Ten thousand years?" Gong Xin Yi was shocked, "Wasn't it just seven or eight hundred years?"
Madame Gong chuckled, "Your family doctor indeed said seven or eight hundred years, but he's not an archaeology expert.
However, the expert yesterday claimed it's over ten thousand years old, which I find hard to believe. That's why Grandma specially invited a highly reputed archaeologist from online to come over for an appraisal. Don't you want to see the results for yourselves?"
Of course, they did! Gong Xin Yi and Zhou Tian looked at each other and decided to stay.
They both knew that with Leng Xi Yue having four bags of such clamshells, if they really were over ten thousand years old, Leng Xi Yue's worth would be unimaginably high. They had to stay and see the appraisal results with their own eyes.
But thinking that the expert was invited from online, both Gong Xin Yi and Zhou Tian were worried.
"Grandma, can experts from online be trusted?"
"Yeah, Grandma, what if it's a scammer..."
