The beef had changed color after it was boiling in the hot soup. With that, Josie dipped a little in sesame paste and handed it to Lionel's plate. Since they had to go back later, they only ordered two jars of beer.
She took a small sip. Compared with the expensive wine she had collected in her cellar, these two bottles of beer were not as rough as boiled water. But she drank happily and was more comfortable than drinking the carefully reserved red wine she had at home.
"Look at you, people are eating meat. Why are you laughing like a fool here?" Lionel replied.
Josie propped her hand against her chin and looked at Lionel with a sweet smile. "Yes, I love smile. But it's such a happy day. Do you really want to see me suffer?" she teased.
"Okay, okay, you can laugh, I have eaten up all the meat." Lionel smiled. He picked up a vegetable leaf and soaked it in the hot soup.
"Will you go back to your home first?" Josie asked.
"Let me drive you home first," Lionel replied.
"Can't I go to the Gu family with you? I have lived there for a period of time and I miss grandfather very much," Josie said.
"Don't you miss your family? Since you've come back from America, why don't you get together with your family first?" he asked.
"Then we go to my home first, and we go back to your home together," said Josie.
"Josie, it's time for you to go back and talk with your parents," Lionel replied in a serious tone.
"No, I just want to go back to the Gu family with you," insisted Josie. She said in a low voice, "Or, I'm worried about him. After all, the Gu family there is no longer the old family, and there is one more person to take care of grandfather. Isn't it good?"
Lionel softened his heart and agreed, "Okay. Let's go to your house first."
Hearing that he had promised her, Josie was happy. She nodded and said, "Okay, that's a deal."
Seeing that she was happy again, Lionel shook his head helplessly. A young and beautiful figure flashed through his mind. He didn't know how she was, and the girl who had always been in his heart.
"When I visit the Zhao family again, I will ask aunt to send for people from the Zhao family to treat grandfather," Josie said. She was as happy as a child. "Mom and dad didn't know I had come back, so they must have been surprised to see me. It doesn't matter if Dad's anger has gone. Although I'm penniless now, I still have a comfortable life with you, much more comfortable than before."
"Haven't you been used to your life before? Your words make many people feel sad," Lionel replied with a smile.
"Of course I feel uncomfortable. Even if I drive a famous car and live in a luxurious villa, I can buy anything I want and get anything I want. But what's the meaning of that empty day? I'd rather walk along the fields with you, and pick up mushrooms in the mountain when it rains," Josie said, blinking her eyes.
"We can go there another time and visit more place there," Lionel said.
Josie nodded with a smile.
