Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The dishes in the kitchen were served one by one. Old Master Gu was the first to pick up his wine glass. “Our Gu family and the Yun family have been family friends since my generation. It’s rare for us to get together today. Don’t stand on ceremony. Eat whatever you want and drink whatever you want.”

With that, he finished the wine in his glass and picked up his chopsticks.

The others also followed suit. This gathering finally began completely.

The small talk at the dining table was only about the health of the elders and the company’s business. Mo Yu could still interject a few sentences and give some blessings when discussing the health of the elders. When it was time for the company’s matters, she closed her mouth and began to focus on eating.

The more you said, the more mistakes revealed. As long as no one suddenly called her, Mo Yu was determined not to speak. After all, she knew nothing about company business dealings. If she spoke more and showed off, it would easily make others suspect her of having wild ambitions. It was better not to speak.

Yun Shu obviously noticed this. After the previous topic ended, Yun Shu picked up the glass and smiled at Mo Yu. “It’s been so long, but I haven’t really gotten to know Miss Mo Yu. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Yun Shu. I’m Gu Lian’s childhood friend.”

When Mo Yu, who had just put a piece of Iberian ham into her mouth, heard this, she finally raised her head, which was almost buried in her rice bowl, and picked up her glass.

…..

“I’ve long heard of your name, Miss Yun Shu. Please guide me in the future.” After saying that, Mo Yu and Yun Shu gently clinked glasses. After taking a sip, she continued to eat the white cut chicken in her bowl.

Mo Yu didn’t understand what Yun Shu meant, but Gu Lian did. He glanced at Yun Shu and picked up a piece of Eight Treasure Duck for Mo Yu with the chopsticks on the side. He said casually, “Yun Shu loved to cry when she was young. She’s not like you, don’t make her cry. This duck is not bad. Xiao Yu, try it.”

Other than Mo Yu and Gu Zi, which one of the people sitting here was not cunning? In one sentence, he called Mo Yu as Xiao Yu, while calling Yun Shu by her full name He even deigned to help 1M0 Yu pick up food. It was obvious at a glance who he was close to.

The elders exchanged glances and decided not to interfere in this matter.

Yun Shu looked at Mo Yu resentfully, then looked away and said something to the servant beside her. The servant heard this and soon brought Yun Shu’s handbag over.

“Uncle, Auntie, Grandpa Gu, I’m sorry to disturb you today. These are some things I designed previously. They’re not worth much. Take it as a small token of my appreciation. 1 hope you can accept them.”

As Yun Shu spoke, she took out three small boxes from her handbag. They looked like jewelry.

The elders of the Gu family accepted the gift, and the topic was naturally brought to the jewelry exhibition.

“These small gifts were all designed by me when I was in university. I wonder if I have the honor of letting Auntie help me take a look at the design?”

Mo Yu was not interested in their topic. The greatest value of jewelry was to show off wealth and set off the beauty of the buyer. Mo Yu had lived in the apocalypse for three years, making her realize that these flashy things were completely useless.

In the beginning, there were still people who used jewelry and gold to exchange for food and water. By the second year, no one cared about these so-called luxury goods. Chanel that was thrown on the ground could be seen everywhere on the streets. It was even used as a fabric for warmth, and the leather bags and shoes that occupied space were used as ignition tools.

Mo Yu’s first reaction when she saw these luxury goods was no longer how difficult it was to buy them. Instead, she was calculating how much this thing could be sold for in the future and how long could it help her survive for.

Therefore, when Yun Shu, Su Mei, and the others were talking about the selection of the jewelry exhibition, Mo Yu had already eaten to the point that she was about to bury her head in her bowl.

At first, Gu Lian was listening carefully to their discussion, but from time to time, he could see Mo Yu burying her head in her food. In the end, almost all of Gu Lian’s attention was focused on Mo Yu.

Were these food really that delicious?

Mo Yu, who was on his left, was eating the Eight Treasure Duck. Gu Zi, who was on his right, was holding a drumstick and eating happily. Gu Lian sat between Mo Yu and Gu Zi. He felt that the food on the dining table had become especially delicious.

Mo Yu’s pious attitude towards food made the chefs who cooked for the Gu family very touched. After receiving 1M0 Yu’s affirmation many times, they vowed to protect Mo Yu’s smile when eating delicious food to their deaths..
