Having been reborn, why would he be afraid of Mr. Gu, who still has a white moonlight?

The Gu family's old house is located in a bustling villa area, in a secluded spot in the heart of the area, adhering to the principle of tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle.

Back then, Gu Tingzhou's great-grandfather's generation hired a very famous feng shui master to calculate the location before buying a large piece of land here to build an old house.

Back then, only the old Gu family house was built. Later, due to the soaring land prices, Gu Tingzhou's grandfather developed the remaining land into a villa area. When it was sold, people were scrambling to buy it, as everyone wanted to live in the same place as the Gu family.

Moreover, it is said that the location of the Gu family's old house is auspicious for their descendants and for the continuation of their lineage.

Therefore, Gu Tingzhou's family, whether it was his grandfather's generation or his father's generation, had a lot of brothers and sisters, both direct and collateral relatives. When they gathered together for the New Year, they could set up dozens of tables.

But now, besides Gu Tingzhou's grandfather, Gu Tingzhou's family and his second uncle are the only people living in the old Gu family house. His younger uncle's family immigrated abroad and rarely return to China. His aunt's family also lives in Yecheng and is basically not in Beijing.

The others all have their own businesses and companies, and do not live here.

Of Gu Tingzhou's generation, apart from his second uncle's two sons who were not married, they spent half their time living here and the other half living in their own properties outside.

Gu Tingting is still in college and is quite playful, so she lives here to be kept in check.

Originally, according to ancestral tradition, Gu Tingzhou and Song Wanwan were supposed to move back to their old house after their marriage. As the heir, Gu Tingzhou was entitled to his own courtyard.

However, Gu Tingzhou is a workaholic, and traveling back and forth between the old house and the company takes too much time, so he lives outside according to his own wishes. As long as he is not on a business trip, he will go back to the old house to stay one night every week.

In her previous life, Song Wanwan most looked forward to returning to the old house every week because she could be with Gu Tingzhou openly and honestly, and he couldn't kick her out.

But when Song Wanwan stepped into the Gu family's old house again, her mood was different. She felt that the Gu family's old house was too big, so big that there was no place for her to stay.

And I won't have many more opportunities to come here.

Song Wanwan parked her car in the parking lot in front of the villa. As soon as she got out of the car, a white figure rushed towards her and circled around her.

He lifted his legs and lay down on Song Wanwan.

This is a Samoyed owned by Gu Tingzhou. It is pure white with long, smooth fur and has a very affectionate personality.

The Samoyed's name is 'Dabai', a very casual name.

Song Wanwan lifted Da Bai's two feet and spun it around.

Big White's drool was all over the ground.

Song Wanwan never imagined that someone with Gu Tingzhou's personality would actually keep a dog; it was quite peculiar.

"I wasn't watching Da Bai closely enough, and he ran out. I knew it must be Wan Wan."

Song Wanwan looked in the direction of the sound and saw Gu Tingzhou's mother standing at the door, watching the two playing together with a doting smile.

She wore a light green cheongsam with exquisite embroidery, making her look particularly young and gentle.

Her hair was tied up with a jade hairpin, making her look like a beautiful old woman who had just emerged from the misty rain of Jiangnan.

Song Wanwan could always smell a trace of her own mother in Gu Tingzhou's mother, so she always acted obediently in front of Gu's mother.

Gu Tingzhou always said that her obedience was all an act, just to win her mother's favor.

Recalling how Gu's mother argued with her son over her sake in her previous life, Song Wanwan's nose tingled and her eyes welled up with tears.

Song Wanwan put down Da Bai's paws, walked up to Gu's mother, and hugged her tightly.

In her previous life, Gu's mother always comforted herself, telling her to think more positively and not to hold a grudge against Gu Tingzhou, and helped her figure out how to win Gu Tingzhou's favor.

I hope I can get along well with Gu Tingzhou.

Song Wanwan silently said in her heart, "Thank you, Aunt Gu. You are the only one who truly treats me like a daughter-in-law. But in this life, I'm sorry, Aunt Gu, I'm going to disappoint you."

Mrs. Gu was visibly taken aback, then laughed and joked, "I just came out of the kitchen, and I still smell of cooking oil on me."

He gently patted Song Wanwan's back and comforted her, "Did Tingzhou make you angry again? I'll have Uncle Zhang teach you how to make sour fish later. It'll make that kid's teeth fall out from the sourness and teach him a lesson."

Song Wanwan couldn't help but laugh, and secretly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

He released Gu's mother and said fiercely, "I'm going to add half a bottle of vinegar."

Gu's mother pinched the tip of Song Wanwan's nose and said affectionately, "You little rascal."

Song Wanwan smiled happily, took Gu's mother's hand, leaned affectionately against her, and walked into the Gu family's old house together. Da Bai followed behind the two of them, circling around them.

The Gu family's old house is designed in the style of Huizhou courtyards, with pavilions, terraces, green bricks and black tiles, small bridges and flowing water, making it unique.

The main house is located in the middle, and it is taller and more elaborate in design than the two buildings next to it. It is said that many of the decorations are made of rare woods, and even a single carving is enough to cover the expenses of an ordinary person for a year.

The Gu family is the culmination of generations of hard work and can be considered one of the most prominent wealthy families. They have achieved considerable success in both the political and business sectors. Gu Tingzhou's second uncle's youngest son works in the government, and there are also connections within other branches of the family.

Song Wanwan arrived at the side room behind the main house, which was specifically for servants and other odd jobs.

Chef Zhang has his own small courtyard. His ancestors were in charge of cooking for the royal family and had their own unique dishes. In his generation, he has been cooking for the Gu family.

His small courtyard has a dedicated small kitchen and a small yard of about ten square meters, where he grows some vegetables and edible flowers and plants.

Uncle Zhang is in his forties, unmarried, and has spent the most time with Grandpa Gu, so he knows the tastes of everyone in the Gu family.

Gu Tingzhou loved the dishes cooked by Uncle Zhang the most, and Uncle Zhang even specially researched several dishes for him, making Gu Tingzhou's stomach very picky.

In her previous life, Song Wanwan had mocked Uncle Zhang, saying that he was increasing customer loyalty, making it difficult for Gu Tingzhou to swallow dishes cooked by others.

Uncle Zhang always had a mysterious air about him, just smiling and saying nothing.

As soon as Song Wanwan stepped into the courtyard, Uncle Zhang, who was lying in a rocking chair fanning himself with a palm leaf fan, said with a smile, "Little Boat's wife, you've come to steal my recipes again. This time, the dish is a bit difficult, so be prepared!"

Uncle Zhang is old enough to be Gu Tingzhou's uncle. When Gu Tingzhou was a child, he had a very weak spleen and stomach and was allergic to many foods. It was Uncle Zhang who researched many dishes and managed to regulate Gu Tingzhou's spleen and stomach. Therefore, for Gu Tingzhou, Uncle Zhang is more like family.

Only Uncle Zhang liked to call Gu Tingzhou "Little Boat".

Song Wanwan approached Uncle Zhang, without a smile, and said indifferently, "Uncle Zhang, just teach me something simple."

Uncle Zhang looked at Song Wanwan with suspicion, then turned to Mother Gu. Mother Gu gave him a wink and shook her head.

Uncle Zhang suddenly understood and said, "Okay, I'll teach you how to steam buns and make your favorite cream buns today."
