From the Gu family, only Mr. and Mrs. Gu, Gu Beicheng, and Lin Mingxi came. As for Gu Dongcheng and Xu Youran, An Xiaoning did not invite them. She did not use to harbor any grudge against Gu Dongcheng, but after what happened in M Nation, she felt that this couple really got on one's nerves and it was better to not invite them.
This lunch brought everyone closer to each other.
It was the first time the Commander-in-chief's only son Jin Minxing had come along with his parents to see his godsister. Towards this goddaughter his parents had acknowledged, he had no objections, but he was utterly unfamiliar with her. While he was usually quite outgoing, he was unusually quiet at the dining table and did not speak a lot.
An Xiaoning noticed him as well. "Minxing, why aren't you talking?"
Madam Jin explained, "He's rather shy with strangers. This child is usually not like that, he's extremely lively. But it's the first time he's seeing you, so he's shy."
