Chapter 163 Sour Bamboo and Duck Soup

The old man sighed silently in his heart, fearing that his grandson-in-law would never come back.

Shi Yue was held tightly by the old man's wrinkled hands and heard her grandfather's hoarse voice say: "I live alone in such a big house. You should come and see me more often in the future."

Then, he was afraid that he would not want to come, so he smiled and said: "Don't worry, that unsatisfactory thing will not come."

Seeing the old man's appearance, Shi Yue felt funny and sad at the same time. She immediately nodded: "I'm too busy during this period. I will definitely visit you often in the future. Just don't find me annoying."

Considering that Shi Yue still had some injuries on her legs, the old man took her and sat in the greenhouse for a while, then returned to the living room.

He waved his hand and asked the people in the kitchen to prepare more of Shi Yue's favorite dishes, and then said to Shi Yue: "I took a look at the recent situation your company is facing, and most of it has something to do with Mr. Shen. You understand this." Something?"

There was an old man who helped him regardless of reward. Shi Yue only hesitated for a moment and replied neatly: "I know everything, including this time they released new products ahead of us and used our designs. These are all targeting us. .”

According to Shen Zexi, he has been away from the cheongsam industry for too long, and it is time to seize his territory.

It was also the first time for the old man to hear that Shen had stolen their design, and he was not surprised for long.

He poked his crutch and snorted coldly: "This thing named Shen is indeed the same as before, with a vicious mind. Once he takes action, he has no intention of leaving you a way to survive."

The things Shen Zexi has done recently have a tendency to push Shi Yue to death.

Even the old man commented on him like this, which made Shi Yue feel scared.

"Grandpa, do you know Shen Zexi?"

Mr. Qiu recalled what happened many years ago: "This man is very dangerous."

In fact, Xi Chen's father and Shen Zexi were classmates. The two had a good relationship when they were children. Later, they got unhappy for some reason and never contacted each other again.

The old man has always been very satisfied with his eldest son, who has a business acumen and flexible ideas. He will inherit the entire Qiu family in the future, so he adopts a free-wheeling attitude and does not interfere with his personal affairs.

Until an accident, the eldest son was burned to death in a fire while inspecting a factory in the suburbs.

Above the mourning hall, Shen Zexi appeared again. He had not seen him for many years. He expressed his deep sympathy for the widow and young son. Faced with the other directors of Qiu's eyeing, the orphans and widows seemed extremely fragile, and Shen Zexi took more care of them. point.

This is why Qiu Xichen still calls him uncle when he sees him.

The old man sighed again: "But this does not mean that Shen Zexi is a good person. When he treats his competitors, he usually leaves no room for survival. There are too many people who hate him."

When Shi Yue heard this, he frowned and thought about Qiu Xichen telling him that Shen Zexi wanted to kill him. No matter how he looked at it, it was inconsistent with his previous attitude.

What are his intentions?

"Grandpa, why did Uncle Qiu fall out with Shen Zexi before that? Do you know this?"

The old man shook his head: "I have no involvement in the friction between friends and I don't understand it."

It seems that only the deceased Uncle Qiu and Shen Zexi know the cause.

Inadvertently, while chatting, it was lunch time. Even though there were only two of them eating, the kitchen also prepared a large table of dishes.

While the housekeeper was helping to arrange the dishes, he did not forget to whisper something into the old man's ear.

Their voices were so low that Shi Yue couldn't hear anything at all. He only saw that the old man's face became a little strange, but he didn't say anything.

The chefs here at the old house always remember everyone's tastes and have superb cooking skills. The dishes they make are delicious, delicious and appetizing.

Shi Yue has been plagued by troubles these days and hasn't eaten well. Today, while accompanying her grandfather, she put things on hold for the time being and had a good meal.

Halfway through, the kitchen brought out another serving of sour bamboo shoots and old duck soup. The duck meat had been stewed for a long time, and the meat was rotten but not woody. The texture brought by the sour bamboo shoots made the soup oily but not greasy. It was refreshing and appetizing. Shi Yue couldn't help but drink more.

A few bowls.

Just when she and her grandfather were chatting happily, there was the sound of a car outside. Shi Yue couldn't help but turn her head and look outside, and saw Qiu Xichen getting out of the car.

On a slightly hot day, he was only wearing a smoky gray shirt and no tie.

He should obviously look the same stern and high-spirited person as before, but he was unshaven and his eyes were red, as if he hadn't rested for several days.

Shi Yue was stunned. Didn't grandpa just say that he would not let this man return to his old house?

She put down the spoon and let the old duck soup in the bowl cool down. She opened her eyes wide and looked at the old man.

The old man felt guilty for a while and tried to cover it up by raising his voice. When Qiu Xichen was about to pass the restaurant, he coughed twice and shouted to the butler: "Didn't I tell you that I don't want to see this unfilial grandson? Who?"

Did you let him in?"

At this time, the butler could only take the blame. He lowered his head and said, "Master, please don't be angry. The young master just came back to get something. He said he would leave later."

And Qiu Xichen seemed to know that he was deeply disliked by these two people, so he went upstairs without saying a word.

The old man sneered in his heart. He just quietly gave instructions and asked the servant to tell him the news about Shi Yue's return to the old house, so he couldn't wait to run back.

The assistant hurriedly ran a few steps to catch up. When he reached the living room, the boss was nowhere to be seen. He stood there feeling a little at a loss.

The old man waved to her: "Come here and I'll ask you something."

The assistant secretly glanced at Shi Yue. The former landlady was indeed more beautiful in person than on the Internet. She had a classic and elegant face, and her temperament was unmatched. No wonder the boss never forgot her.

Being stared at by this little girl, Shi Yue couldn't help but frown.

The old man asked her: "What did you, Mr. Qiu, do when you came back today?"

The assistant immediately opened his eyes and lied: "Qiu always left an important document here. Come back and get it."

The old man immediately saw through the lie, exposed it in front of Shi Yue, and sneered: "What kind of documents can I bother Mr. Qiu to come and get in person? He hasn't been here for months, what can he leave behind?"

"

Shi Yue just sat aside, lowering her head and saying nothing. How could she not understand how someone who hadn't been back for several months could suddenly appear?

The little assistant was hungry. He smelled the aroma of food wafting from the dining table. He couldn't help but licked his lips and said to the boss, "Mr. Qiu is busy with work and hasn't eaten since morning."

It happened that Qiu Xichen came down the stairs with an unknown document in his hand.
