Rebirth: Regaining Joyful Moments-Chapter 1136 - 1138: Shuyuan’s Girlfriend

"Grandpa, let me cook." Each time Xu Nianhua visits, she likes to dive into the kitchen and make some dishes that Ji Xinghua loves.

Lunch was ready, and seeing that Ji Shuyuan hadn’t returned yet, Xu Nianhua said, "Grandpa, let me go check why Shuyuan hasn’t come back yet."

"Maybe something delayed him at the shop," Ji Xinghua glanced at the wall clock and said, "Sometimes Shuyuan comes back late, and he doesn’t know you’re here."

"It’s quite hot outside; you shouldn’t go out," Ji Xinghua warned, looking at the scorching sun outside.

"It’s fine, I’ll just take a look."

Xu Nianhua grabbed an umbrella to shield against the sun, and hadn’t even stepped out of the house when she saw Ji Shuyuan returning.

"Nianhua, when did you get back?" Ji Shuyuan strode in and said, "It’s really hot outside; you shouldn’t come out."

"Shuyuan, why were you smiling just now? It seems like you’re in love," Xu Nianhua eyed him shrewdly. When Ji Shuyuan returned, there was a smile on his face, and he was humming a tune, looking very much like he was in love.

"No," Ji Shuyuan’s smile quickly vanished.

Xu Nianhua looked at him with curiosity and said, "Shuyuan, it’s fine if you’re in love, I won’t laugh at you. Why are you hiding it from me?" Xu Nianhua blinked and sized Ji Shuyuan up, noticing he seemed a bit sheepish, curiously asking, "Shuyuan, who is your partner? Is it someone I know?"

"No."

Ji Shuyuan responded quickly, and Grandpa cheerfully called out, "It’s time to eat," giving Xu Nianhua no chance to continue the conversation.

"Nianhua, every time you come, you’re able to make so many delicious dishes. Yicheng is really fortunate," Ji Shuyuan praised.

Grandpa mentioned Xu Nianhua’s older brother, and Ji Shuyuan quickly asked, "Grandpa, why didn’t you invite him to stay for a meal?"

Grandpa mentioned this matter and grumbled, "How could I not invite him? I did, but Nianhua’s brother has business to attend to, how could I keep him?"

"Shuyuan, Brother Li really is busy with matters at the Orient Hotel, he doesn’t have time to come over for a meal," Xu Nianhua explained.

Ji Shuyuan remarked, "Your brother’s construction of the Orient Hotel is really impressive."

Ji Shuyuan further explained that the Orient Hotel, from site selection to construction, progressed rapidly. The main building is already completed; eight floors high, making it one of the tallest buildings in the less bustling South City.

Moreover, the location of the Orient Hotel is excellent, and its design is different from other buildings.

"You don’t know, but many people are already looking forward to the opening of the Orient Hotel," Ji Shuyuan said with certainty, having heard that the Orient Hotel aims to be the most luxurious hotel in all of South City!

"The Orient Hotel in Ningbei is indeed very good and extremely luxurious," Xu Nianhua thought of the Orient Hotel in Ningbei, and in such a large city, the Orient Hotel is people’s first choice for traveling and hosting banquets.

In South City, Brother Li will probably do even better, won’t he?

After the meal, Ji Xinghua sat in the rocking chair listening to the radio, while Ji Shuyuan and Xu Nianhua chatted in the room. He asked, "Nianhua, do you know how Gu Mingzhu is doing now?"

"What’s up?" Xu Nianhua, upon hearing Gu Mingzhu’s name again, was exceedingly calm.

"She’s really sick, I hear it’s quite serious," Ji Shuyuan spoke of Gu Mingzhu’s recent situation, also filled with emotion.
