Chapter 8
In Mr. Qiu's yard.
Butler Qiu stood in front of Mr. Qiu and reported everything that happened in the front yard.
Mr. Qiu slowly put down the chess piece in his hand and nodded with satisfaction.
"This granddaughter-in-law is a good one."
Butler Qiu also said with a smile: "Third Master woke up a few days after the young lady came in. At that time, you always said that the young lady is a person who brings her own blessings.
After observing her for several days now, I feel more and more that the young lady is a smart, powerful, neither humble nor arrogant person, but also flexible and able to stretch herself."
"It's not bad, it's not bad."
Mr. Qiu stroked his beard and nodded with increasing satisfaction: "Now I just hope that the two of them can flourish the Qiu family as soon as possible. It's just that girl from the Gu family..."
Butler Qiu quickly answered: "That Miss Gu is still thinking about the Third Master. She runs to our house whenever she has something to do, all in the name of looking for Miss Rushi."
"snort!"
Mr. Qiu snorted coldly: "I was also optimistic about that girl from the Gu family at the beginning. She has a good appearance, a gentle personality, is quite smart, and her family background is worthy of going to Xichen.
But when Xichen had a car accident, the Gu family immediately drew a clear line with us and even joined forces with other companies to steal our Qiu's market share.
A girl from such a duplicitous family is not worthy of marrying into our Qiu family!"
Butler Qiu also nodded repeatedly: "In order to eat up our Qiu family's market share, the Gu family put a lot of effort into it, and even planned to get Miss Gu engaged to another family.
Fortunately, the young lady came in in time and woke up the third master, which made their wild ambitions come to nothing.
But I see that the Third Master likes that girl from the Gu family very much. Will the Third Master be tempted by her to divorce the Young Madam and then marry her in the future?"
"She's delusional!"
The old man Qiu sneered: "As long as my old man is here, she and the Gu family will never be able to get a single cent of our Qiu family!"
"The old man is wise."
…
Before dinner time, Mr. Qiu, accompanied by Butler Qiu, arrived at the restaurant early.
As soon as he sat down, he asked Shi Yue to come over and talk to him.
After hearing the news, Gu Huaian also rushed over immediately.
As soon as he entered the door, Gu Huaian sat directly next to Mr. Qiu and said with a gentle smile: "Grandpa Qiu, Ru Shi and I used to chat with you to relieve your boredom.
Now that Rushi is not at home, I should accompany you to chat. Others may not be able to understand you."
But Mr. Qiu smiled and said: "Huai'an, what you said is a bit wrong. We are all a family. There is no one who can't understand what we say."
After saying that, Mr. Qiu turned back to look at Shi Yue: "You think so, grandson's daughter-in-law."
Shi Yue was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately: "That's what Grandpa said."
"Grandpa likes how well-behaved and sensible my grandson's daughter-in-law is. You and that stinky boy from Xichen have to work hard and try to let me have my great-grandson as soon as possible."
Shi Yue's face suddenly turned red and she was a little at a loss.
Butler Qiu on the side joked: "Old man, the young lady is still young. Look at you, she sounds shy."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Mr. Qiu laughed heartily and comforted Shi Yue repeatedly: "My granddaughter-in-law, don't be shy. Why are you embarrassed in front of grandpa? Spreading branches and leaves for our Qiu family is a top priority!"
Mr. Qiu, Butler Qiu and Shi Yue chatted happily together, but no one paid any attention to Gu Huaian.
Invisibly, Gu Huaian was left out in the cold by the three of them.
Several times, Gu Huaian wanted to interrupt, but no one answered her.
She placed her hands under the table and twisted them tightly together, hating Shi Yue deeply in her heart.
People who come from a small family are indeed good at pleasing others.
Fortunately, this situation did not last long, Qiu Xichen was pushed in by Secretary Wen.
As soon as Qiu Xichen came in, Butler Qiu immediately ordered the dishes to be served.
Gu Huaian immediately stood up and took the initiative to sit next to Qiu Xichen.
She smiled tenderly at Qiu Xichen and said, "Xichen, you have difficulty moving. I'll pick up the food for you. We'll be the same as before."
Shi Yue on the side looked at them silently, said nothing, and took the initiative to sit on the other side.
"Granddaughter-in-law."
But Mr. Qiu called out to her: "Xi Chen has difficulty moving. Sit next to him and take care of him."
Shi Yue said nothing, but looked at Qiu Xichen and Gu Huaian beside him.
Gu Huaian looked at Mr. Qiu very gently and decently: "Grandpa Qiu, it's better for me to take care of Xi Chen. He is used to my taking care of him."
Mr. Qiu's face darkened: "That's not okay, our Qiu family is also a family that knows the rules and etiquette.
In the past, when Xichen was not married, I would not restrain you no matter how you played.
But now that Xichen is married, how can he be taken care of by outsiders again?"
Mr. Qiu's words were too straightforward, so he had to mention them by name.
Gu Huaian could only stand up, forced a smile and said: "Grandpa Qiu is still thoughtful, I was negligent."
Then she looked at Shi Yue affectionately: "Miss Shi, come and sit here. I'll sit in another seat."
Shi Yue glanced at Qiu Xichen next to her and saw that he had no objection, so she stood up silently and went to sit down.
After a few people sat down, Butler Qiu ordered the cook to start serving the dishes.
When the third dish of sweet and sour pork ribs was served, Gu Huaian directly told Shi Yue: "Miss Shi, Xichen doesn't like sweet food, so don't serve him sweet and sour pork ribs later.
"
"Thank you, Miss Gu, for reminding me."
Shi Yue was polite and distant.
After the food was served, everyone started to use their chopsticks.
Gu Huaian first picked up a piece of fish, picked out the spines, and then put it into Qiu Xichen's bowl with a smile.
"Xichen, you like to eat fish the most. This piece is the most delicious fish belly. The spines have been picked out."
Qiu Xichen frowned and did not touch the piece of fish.
Seeing this, Shi Yue immediately put the piece of fish meat into his bowl, and then put a piece of beef brisket for Qiu Xichen.
"Xichen, last night you told me that you wanted to eat beef. I asked the kitchen to make it for you specially."
"Thank you." Qiu Xichen picked up the beef and ate it.
Gu Huaian was almost dead with anger, but he could only force a smile, and then pick up some food for the old man Qiu: "Grandpa Qiu, try this purple cabbage. It can lower blood pressure and blood lipids. It is the best for middle-aged and elderly people."
"Huai'an, you are determined."
The meal progressed slowly amid the overt and covert fighting between Gu Huaian and Shi Yue.
Dinner is over.
Gu Huaian took the initiative to stand up and push Qiu Xichen's wheelchair.
"Xichen, I'll push you to take a walk in the garden."
Qiu Xichen was undecided.
Shi Yue didn't stop him either.
But Mr. Qiu on the side looked unhappy and looked directly at Shi Yue.
Shi Yue was stunned for a moment, then immediately stood up and "seized" Gu Huaian's position.
"It's too late. Miss Gu, please come back. I won't bother you to take care of my husband anymore."
After saying that, she pushed Qiu Xichen's wheelchair and walked out decisively.
Gu Huaian stood there, looking at the quickly disappearing figures of Shi Shiyue and others, and clenched his fists.
"Butler, arrange a car to take Huai'an home."
"Yes, old man."
Shi Yue pushed Qiu Xichen and quickly crossed the gravel path to the entrance of the garden.
"Third Master, I'm sorry to disturb your reunion with Miss Gu."
"Um."
Qiu Xichen responded indifferently, his voice without any ripples.
Chapter completed!
