“Dabao, Xiaobao, wash your hands first before lunch!” 

Chu Qiao brought the dishes to the table and called everyone to eat. 

As expected, Gu Jianshe did indeed come to have lunch together. 

Seeing so many dishes, he swallowed his saliva again, secretly planning to eat three bowls of rice. 

It had been a long time since he’d had such a lavish meal. Even during the New Year, his parents’ place didn’t have such a sumptuous feast. 

Moreover, his mother’s cooking skill was lacking. Let alone to be compared with Chu Qiao, she couldn’t even be compared with Lin Yulan. 

Thinking of his step-grandmother, Gu Jianshe felt a bit sentimental. 

In fact, he was still fond of Lin Yulan. And thanks to her care when he was young, he could have a comfortable childhood. 

But Lin Yulan’s heart was still with Gu Ye. 

There was one time, he saw that Lin Yulan secretly gave cookies to Gu Ye. 

Hmph, she said that she loved him, but in reality she only had her own son in her heart. 

Since then, Gu Jianshe harbored resentment and grew distant from Lin Yulan. 

As he grew older, he also returned to his own home. 

Recalling the past, Gu Jianshe felt a sense of pride and glanced disdainfully at Gu Ye. 

He would always be the most important grandson in the Gu family. As for Gu Ye, he was nothing!

Gu Jianshe found a seat and sat down. 

Gu Ye hadn’t paid attention to it, but Chu Qiao’s expression changed. 

She pushed Gu Jianshe aside, and scolding, “Don’t you know about respect? How can you sit there, your uncle hasn’t sat down yet!”  

The door was still open, and many people in the corridor heard her and came over to watch. 

They immediately saw that Gu Jianshe was sitting at the seat of honor* while Gu Ye was still standing. 

*According to the custom of Chinese dining etiquette, the seat of honor reserved for the host or the oldest person, is usually the position in the center facing east or facing the entrance to the room.

No wonder Xiao Chu was angry.

The elders hadn’t taken their seats yet, and here was Deputy Secretary Gu, already seated in the seat of honor. How disrespectful!

“Deputy Secretary Gu looks like a polite person, how could he be so ignorant of etiquette?” 

“Appearances can be deceiving. I always thought that Deputy Secretary Gu is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, not as straightforward as Chief Gu. Chief Gu is much easier to get along with.” 

“I think so too. Chief Gu is easy to get along with, but Deputy Secretary Gu’s smile seems fake. And there’s also his last situation with his fiancée. Hmph, what Deputy Secretary Gu did was too immoral!” 

……

Several women began to gossip about Gu Jianshe’s romantic affairs. Even those who had a good impression of him before also started to change their minds. 

Inside the house, Gu Jianshe was unaware that his reputation was plummeting. 

He was stunned by Chu Qiao’s push and nearly fell to the ground. 

He was furious, and glared at Chu Qiao, “Why can’t I sit here?” 

“This is the seat of honor. Didn’t your parents teach you manners? Your uncle is still standing, and even Dabao and Xiaobao haven’t sat down. Your manner was no better than the little kids, get up!” 

Chu Qiao unceremoniously grabbed Gu Jianshe by the collar and lifted him up. 

Gu Ye stood by smiling, while Dabao and Xiaobao also covered their mouths laughing.

“How can there be so many rules? Uncle, why don’t you manage your wife properly?” 

Gu Jianshe’s appearance was a bit disheveled. His collar was crooked, and it took him a while to fix it. He couldn’t help but complain to Gu Ye. 

“Your aunt is right. Even the elders haven’t sat down yet, and you, as a junior, are already sitting at the seat of honor. Who do you think you are? You really deserve a good scolding!”  

Gu Ye slapped his nephew’s head without any restraint. 

People outside saw this and thought that Gu Ye was a great uncle. As an uncle, he demonstrated good manners and followed the rules. 

Gu Jianshe swallowed his anger and moved to another seat. 

This time, he was more careful. Only after Gu Ye and Chu Qiao were seated did he finally sit down. 

He quickly stretched out his chopstick to pick up the braised pork. He had been craving it for a long time.
