Gu Nuan neither said yes nor no.
Xiao Shuju had to convey what Xiao Jianming and the elderly Mrs. Xiao could not express: "They hope, on New Year's Eve, everyone could gather together for a meal. I know Grandma called you, and you said you're not feeling well. Grandma understands. So—"
Hesitating, even the thick-skinned third sister found it hard to continue.
Gu Nuan knew this day would eventually come, and thought it was time to make things clear to the Xiao Family. After pondering for a moment, she said, "In that case, let them come here for dinner. As long as the elders don't feel it's beneath them to come here for a meal."
Xiao Shuju was overjoyed to hear her agree, smiling non-stop, she reached out and patted Gu Nuan's shoulder: "What are you talking about? I said it before, this house, it's like our own family's. Coming to a family member's place for dinner, how could the elders have any objections? We'll go with your decision, sister-in-law."
