Chapter 840 - The House Is Too Small (2/2)

“Gao Ge, you are not young, aren’t you?” Mr. Meng moves the piece of cannon and says to Gao Ge.

“Well…” Gao Ge suddenly doesn’t know how to respond to Mr. Meng, “Uncle, I’m 20 years old only.”

Mr. Meng pulls a long face.

Yeah.

Mr. Meng almost forgets that considering Gao Ge’s age, he should have been a college student by now though he has graduated.

Mr. Meng feels so irritated.

“Ahem. Just say yes to whatever Mr. Meng says. Don’t talk nonsense.” Gao Ming takes a glance at this silly son and sighs inwardly. Gao Ge is so much like him. Back then, he knew that his father-in-law loved pot plants. Hence, when he met the latter for the first time, he just brought a plant and believed that could please his father-in-law.

Unexpectedly, his father-in-law flew off the handle directly and pointed fingers at him.

“What’s your problem? I like green plants. I like pot plants. Why do you give me a cactus? Yes, I’ve failed to raise a lot of plants but what does it have to do with you? How dare you give me a cactus to humiliate me? Do you think I can only raise this kind of plant?”

That scene is still vivid in his mind.

“Gao Ge, you and Jing have been together for some time,” Mr. Meng says, “You’ve grown up since childhood. Actually, I also think it is a good thing that you two are together. My wife and I have no problem with this. However, since you two have graduated, your relationship should be finalized then. It is too early for you to get married now but you two can be engaged. What do you think?”

Gao Ge thinks about it. No wonder Meng Jing blushed a bit just now. Mrs. Meng must have told her about this too.

“Of course I’m fine with it. As long as you and Jing agree, surely I have no problem with it,” Gao Ge hastens to say.

Mr. Meng finally cracks a smile and seems to be very satisfied with Gao Ge’s reaction.

“Dad, I think it is too early for us to be engaged. We can wait a bit longer!” Meng Jing says.

“What are you talking about?” Mr. Meng frowns and casts an unsatisfied glance at Meng Jing.

Meng Jing winks at Gao Ge. He knows that Meng Jing has no problem with being engaged to him but she is worried that Xia Lu may be sad about learning this matter.

Luckily, the doorbell suddenly rings.

“Erk? Who is that?” Gao Ming stands up and walks to the door in confusion. It has been a while since they lived in the Dragon Court Compound. They may go out occasionally but they don’t know anyone here. Hence, they never mean to talk with others intimately. Neither do any neighbors come to visit them.

Some people may send some necessities and supplements to them only.

After opening the door, Gao Ming is shocked.

“Who are you?” Gao Ming blinks and counts the people. Surprisingly, he finds that more than ten people are standing at the door.

Are they here to pick up a fight?

Gao Ming is freaked out.

“Ahem. You must be Gao Ge’s father. I’m here to meet Gao Ge,” Dian Lu at the door hastens to say.

An old man behind Dian Lu slaps the head of Dian Lu.

“Apologize first.”

With a woebegone look, Dian Lu can only give a bow.

“Uncle Gao, I’m here to apologize to Gao Ge.”

Gao Ming turns around to look at Gao Ge with confused eyes.

Gao Ge picks up the teacup and has a sip, saying calmly, “The house is too small for so many people.”

The old man immediately takes the hint and hastens to turn around to say to the several middle-aged men behind, “You all wait outside. Lu, come inside with me!”

“Yes…” Dian Lu hangs his head in fear and follows the old man into the Gao Family’s house.
