Chapter 108: A Family
An Junxi greeted everyone according to their seniority, starting with the oldest, Seventh Uncle, and ending with the youngest, Gu Qianlan. She maintained a steady pace and made calm eye contact with each person she addressed, showing no sign of nervousness. Once she finished, she noticed her mother-in-law’s satisfied expression and felt a sense of relief.
Despite his old age, Seventh Uncle seemed energetic. He scrutinized An Junxi with his sharp eyes and saw that this girl was composed and natural in her manners, without any trace of being uptight. He nodded slightly.
An Junxi noticed that her father-in-law, Gu Kuangyong, was the most satisfied with her. His face was gentle, and his features were resolute, with a doting look in his eyes. His tall stature was apparent even while he sat, indicating he was a young talent in the business world in his youth. It seemed Gu Yikun had inherited all of his parents’ good qualities.
Gu Kuangyong didn’t look like someone who would betray his marriage. An Junxi firmly believed that a kind father would never do anything to harm his family. However, sitting with Liang Huiyun, they seemed to be just putting on a show of harmony, rather than showing true love.
As for Gu Kuangyuan, the Gu Family’s aunt whom An Junxi trusted the least, she appeared to focus mainly on An Junxi’s attire, assessing her outfit several times from head to toe. Her expression remained calm, giving no clue if she was pleased or displeased; at least, there was nothing bad.
An Junxi’s biggest worry was Gu Qianlan, this pampered young lady favored by family elders. She sat beside Liang Huiyun, her gaze shifting from scrutinizing to disdainful, showing no concern about being reprimanded for her blatant attitude.
Sister Li and Sister He had accurately described Gu Qianlan as a spoiled princess, and this young lady might be troublesome.
An Junxi thought about many things, but her face still maintained a gentle smile. Sister Li handed her the gifts, and she accepted them one by one, distributing them to each family member, with each gift specially selected by her mother-in-law for her to make a good impression.
An Junxi was genuinely grateful to her mother-in-law for this. When she handed her the gift, she appreciatively said, "Thank you, mother, for all your efforts. I will be a good daughter-in-law in the future."
Liang Huiyun accepted the gift she had picked herself and was quite satisfied with what An Junxi said, "We are family from now on."
