CHAPTER 318: CHAPTER 318: HAS HIS SWEETHEART RETURNED? (PART 8)

Mrs. Sheng smiled and nudged him: "What are you saying, alright, Ah Han, go on in, we have guests today, mind your manners."

"Got it."

Gu Han noticed a man and a woman sitting in the living room as he walked through the entrance. They seemed familiar, but Gu Han couldn’t remember who they were. It was the middle-aged man sitting there who recognized him first: "Gu Han?"

"Yeah, I am. And you are..."

"It’s been years since we last met. You’ve grown so much. I’m your Uncle Shen, don’t you remember?"

Gu Han still didn’t have much of an impression, but since the man said so, it was necessary to exchange pleasantries.

Sheng Jianan came in shortly after, and upon seeing the people sitting inside, greeted them politely but distantly: "Uncle Shen."

"Jianan, long time no see."

Sheng Jianan tugged at the corner of his mouth as a response. The girl sitting beside the middle-aged man stood up politely and greeted Sheng Jianan with a soft voice: "Mr. Sheng."

Mrs. Sheng invited everyone to sit down and made a call to Mr. Sheng, confirming he would be home in five minutes, and then asked the servant to prepare the meal.

Through their conversation, Gu Han finally remembered who was sitting across from him.

Shen Rui’an, back in earlier years in B City, the Shen Family was considered one of the prominent families. Later, Shen Rui’an emigrated to France with his family, and the Shens withdrew from the big circle in B City.

Gu Han was younger and not very familiar, but he remembered Shen Rui’an had no daughter, only a son.

"Bro, is this his daughter?"

Thinking his memory might be off, Gu Han found a chance to ask in a low voice.

Sheng Jianan’s face remained expressionless as he calmly said: "His niece."

"What’s her name?"

"I don’t know."

Sheng Jianan never paid attention to women. Knowing she was Shen Rui’an’s niece was the limit of his knowledge, only because they had grown up together in some capacity when they were younger. As for her name, he had long forgotten it.

The Shen Family and the Sheng Family had a good relationship, but because the Shens were far away in France, they didn’t interact much. Now, having finally come back, Mr. Sheng and Shen Rui’an chatted warmly about past matters.

Sheng Jianan ate with no particular expression, while Gu Han, who was naturally sociable, struck up a conversation with the girl whose name he didn’t even know.

The meal went smoothly.

After dinner, Mr. Sheng and Shen Rui’an started a chess game, Mrs. Sheng brewed tea for them, and then said to Sheng Jianan: "It’s rare that Yaoyao and Ah Han are both here, why don’t you three youngsters go for a walk in the garden? There are some new bonsais."

Sheng Jianan had nothing else to do and was bored sitting there, so he nodded.

When there are two people, it’s ambiguous, but with three, there’s no issue, especially...

He glanced at Gu Han and Shen Yao, the two seemed to be hitting it off, so maybe he could play the matchmaker.

It was already dark, but the courtyard lights in the old house were bright, adding some charm to the night scene.

Shen Yao kept talking to Gu Han. She studied in France, and Gu Han studied in the United Kingdom. Although they were in different countries, they were both in Europe, so they had some common topics.

After walking a bit, Gu Han’s phone rang: "Sorry, Sister Yao, I need to take this call."

Shen Yao nodded gently: "Go ahead."

Gu Han didn’t go far, just took a few steps forward, while Shen Yao stopped and turned to look at Sheng Jianan behind her.

Sheng Jianan had his hands in his pockets, exuding an indescribable laziness.

"Are your eyes completely healed?"
