Chapter 198: Clearing the Clouds and Seeing the Sky
Entering the countdown time, it is always inevitable to make people nervous, on the one hand, hoping that time will pass faster, but on the other hand, hoping that it can pass a little slower, so that she can be mentally prepared enough to face the upcoming wedding of the century.
They were a little short-bogged for time, but even in such a hurry, she still wanted to try to look as perfect as possible, to be a little more in tune with her perfect husband.
"Seriously, is your wedding a little rushed?"
Yi Shaojin lazily held a tablet and leaned back on the recliner.
The huge bathtub was sprinkled with fragrant flower petals, Chu Qiao leaned comfortably inside, surrounded by several professional beauticians, who were meticulously helping her do massage treatments.
"I originally thought that there would be no wedding this year, but now it is an unexpected surprise."
When she thought of Yi Qingchen so thoughtfully helping her arrange all this in advance, her heart was so warm that it seemed to melt.
"I originally thought that the two of you couldn't do it this year, after all, there are still so many difficult things, but it's good to do this, finish this routine as soon as possible, and Yi Qingchen's kid can be completely relieved in his heart, lest he always be unsteady."
"What else can be unsteady, the children are all born."
Chu Qiao couldn't help but laugh.
"All the uneasiness of his life has fallen on you."
The white fingers slid lightly on the tablet for a while, and suddenly paused, "You're not going to take that moon and moon to London, are you?" ”
"Of course not, she still has to study."
"That's good." Yi Shaojin originally wanted to say that she was afraid that Lin Yueyue would become the next Yi Yunzhi, but after all, the little girl didn't do anything out of the ordinary, on the contrary, she had always followed the rules, so she naturally couldn't say it.
"I don't know what's going on in London now, I always feel unsteady in my heart, Yi Qingchen's grandfather is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and now Jiang Shaoxiu has also passed, and he can be regarded as gathering the bad guys in this room, and I feel furious when I think about it."
Especially since they arranged so many young and beautiful girls to go over before they went to London, they always felt as if there was some big conspiracy, and if there is a conspiracy, there is danger!
"Don't worry, our Yi family man is equivalent to a think tank, and with my grandfather in charge, I believe they will definitely be able to handle everything properly."
"Especially your family, right?" Yi Shaojin glanced at her with disdain, "Look at your spring heart, my sister knows who you want to be!" ”
"Madame, your phone keeps ringing."
Outside the bathroom door, the maid whispered.
"Bring it in."
"Yes."
Chu Qiao took the phone, didn't look closely, and before she could speak, the other end of the phone cried first, "Aunt Chu...... I...... I'm going home......"
The intermittent sobbing sound was a little heart-wrenching.
"Yueyue? What's wrong with this? ”
Aren't you still happy when you go out with your luggage in the morning, it's only been a few hours, what's going on?
"I didn't ...... All right...... Aunt Chu, can you get Uncle Wen to pick me up? I want to go home, I miss my parents......"
Chu Qiao originally thought that Lin Yueyue meant going back to Brittany Manor, but then she heard that she wanted to go back to her own home.
"Tell my aunt what's wrong?"
Chu Qiao stood up from the bathtub as he spoke, and the maid hurriedly handed over the bath towel.
"I didn't ...... I just want to go back...... Coming home....."
"Yueyue is good, don't cry first, Auntie will come soon."
"Why you?"
Yi Shaojin glanced at her curiously, and followed her out of the bathroom door.
"It's a little thing, and I'll be back in a moment."
"You don't plan to go to Lin Yueyue's school, have you forgotten what Yi'an told you? It's not for you not to show up, it's not appropriate for you to appear in that place with your current identity. ”
"It's okay, the school is full of children, who can know me, you are so careful."
"Aren't there teachers besides children?" Yi Shaojin muttered in a low voice, "You better call Yi'an, it's better to let him go, after all, Lin Yueyue's affairs have always been handled by him." ”
Chu Qiao grabbed the clothes brought by the maid casually, and put them on three or two times, "Yi'an has had a lot of things in the past two days, so I can handle these little things myself." ”
"Then I'll be with you."
"No, no, you just stay at home, in case someone comes to watch for me."
Chu Qiao winked at her meaningfully, Yi Shaojin understood, and could only nod and say, "Okay, you pay attention to yourself." ”
"yes, got it."
Lin Yueyue originally thought that Chu Qiao would go out with the driver's bodyguard as usual, so that she would definitely be able to save a lot of face, who knew that she would come in a car alone, although the Hummer didn't look bad, but it was not as impressive as the team.
"Chu ...... Aunt Chu ......"
Chu Qiao didn't expect Lin Yueyue to stand at the school gate waiting for her, it was the time when school was out at noon, and it was very crowded with people.
"I didn't say anything on the phone just now, what the hell is going on? Did your classmates bully you or did the teacher say something about you? There is an aunt who is not afraid, tell the aunt. ”
"Nope." Lin Yueyueqiang smiled and shook her head, "The teachers and classmates are very good, no one bullied me, I was homesick." ”
"You kid, what else can't you say to your aunt? If someone really bullies you, Auntie will definitely ......"
"Yueyue, why are you still at the school gate, let's go to lunch together!"
A few girls couldn't help but step forward curiously when they saw Lin Yueyue standing at the school gate with red eyes and talking to a woman dressed like a star.
"Yueyue, who is this?"
"Oh, I forgot to introduce you to you." Lin Yueyue wiped her eyes, "This is my aunt, who came to see me." ”
"Are you going to lunch with us?"
Chu Qiao looked at these girls, guessing that they were probably having a good time with Lin Yueyue, maybe he could ask something from them, so he smiled and said, "It's just right, I originally planned to pick up Yueyue and go to lunch together, since you haven't eaten, let's go together." ”
"Auntie, do you want to invite us to dinner?"
"Let's go, let's go together." Lin Yueyue smiled shyly, but she was proud in her heart.
"What do you prefer to eat? What about the moon? What do you want to eat? ”
Chu Qiao pointed to the tall Hummer parked aside, "Let's go, let's get in the car first and then discuss." ”
"Wow, Auntie, this car is yours, local tyrant!"
"What do you want to eat, this kid?"
"By the way, Auntie, Yueyue took a box of dim sum and distributed it to us in the morning, saying that you bought it for her, where did you buy it, it's delicious!"
"You like this snack?"
"I like it, it's super delicious!"
"Okay, let's go to the hotel with this snack today, it just so happens that there is a new chef there with good skills, let's try it?"
Chu Qiao thought about Lin Yueyue's sensibility, and couldn't help but feel a little sad.
This stupid child must have taken the snacks she gave her to her classmates in order to make a good relationship.
The car had just stopped at the door of the Q Hotel, and Wen Yi'an was seen walking out of it with a briefcase from a distance.
Seeing Chu Qiao's car, he immediately showed a habitual smile, but that smile instantly became stagnant when he saw Lin Yueyue in the passenger seat.
"Ma'am."
"Ian, why are you here? I thought you were in the company. ”
Chu Qiao jumped out of the car and threw the key to the parking boy, "Just in time, let's have lunch together." ”
"Mr. Chu, you're here." Zhang Lulu, who was transferred to the new manager of the catering department, hurriedly stepped forward, "The upstairs box has been arranged for you, you can go up at any time." ”
"You bring a few of them up first, Mr. Chu still has some things to do, so he won't go up."
"Okay, Assistant Wen."
"Aunt Chu, aren't you going to have lunch with us?" Lin Yueyue looked at Chu Qiao cautiously.
"I'm sorry, Yueyue, Auntie temporarily remembered that there was something else in the company, you guys go up and eat, this sister will help you arrange it."
"Alright then, Auntie, you remember to have lunch."
"Well, got it, go ahead."
Chu Qiao waved at her, but was dragged into the passenger seat by Wen Yi'an.
Before she could react, he had already gotten into the driver's seat and started the car.
"Madam, I remember what I told you, don't let you appear in Lin Yueyue's school life circle, you are better today, and you will come directly to the hotel! Q What is the standard of the hotel, you don't know, what kind of consequences will be caused by ordinary people's children receiving such a place to consume? Do you want Lin Yueyue to have more flatterers around her, or do you want these children to become vain people? ”
This is probably the first time Chu Qiao has seen him say such a lot of truths to her since she met Wen Yi'an, but in fact, why didn't she understand these truths? It's just that today is a completely special situation.
"Okay, don't be angry, in fact, you won't hang up so badly, it's just a meal." Seeing that Wen Yi'an still had a straight face, Chu Qiao whispered flatteringly: "I know it's me who is not good, and I won't be in the future, Yueyue called me just now and kept crying, so I went to school to see her." ”
"I won't be angry with these irrelevant people, I'm just worried about you, if Lin Yueyue becomes a person who loves vanity, then such a person will be an invisible bomb by your side." Although it is indeed a bit arbitrary to make such a conclusion now, for Wen Yi'an, Chu Qiao is the sky, and protecting her is the only task in his life, so he must strangle everything that may happen in the cradle!
"No, Yueyue is just a child, you are too careful, her parents are kind people, and she will definitely be a kind person."
"I hope."
"What are we going to do now? Do you want to invite you to lunch? Candlelit lunch. ”
A longing light suddenly appeared in his deep eyes, and finally he calmly said, "Go back to the manor." ”
Her wedding to Yi Qingchen is approaching, and now there are countless pairs of eyes staring at her, hoping to make some scandal to mess up this wedding, of course he can't let these people get their wish.
“……”
"Ian."
"Huh?"
"Did Yi Qingchen give you a salary increase before leaving?"
"Mr. Chu, I received your salary."
……
"I'm back."
As soon as the two entered the door, they saw Yi Shaojin sitting on the sofa seriously, holding a big comb in his hand, combing the bangs of Yi Qingchen's alpaca.
"What's wrong with your poor little girl? Eh...... Don't move, my sister will comb your hair! ”
As soon as the alpaca saw Chu Qiao, he wanted to turn around and play with her, but he was dragged back by Yi Shaojin one by one as soon as he turned his face.
"I guess I let my classmates bully me and cry enough."
Chu Qiao threw his handbag on the sofa, and his whole body completely sank.
Before she could speak, Wen Yi'an said: "I will find out about this matter with their teachers later, and I will leave for London tomorrow night, and I hope you don't have to worry about anything before that." ”
"Well, I agree with Ian's words." Yi Shaojin quickly looked up at her, "Why are you still stunned?" Upstairs is still waiting for you to go to the spa! ”
"I haven't eaten lunch yet, I've eaten ...... first"
"I'll ask Steward Lu to send it to you later, other people's brides will go to take care of them a month in advance, you have so many days left, you don't hurry up, hurry up!"
"Okay, okay, I know, I'll go."
"Okay, it's beautiful, go ahead!"
Yi Shaojin patted the alpaca's little head with satisfaction, "It's really good, I'll ask someone to cut fruit for you to eat later." ”
"Ma'am, sir."
Chu Qiao smiled and beckoned to the maid, "Give me the phone." ”
"You're so lively, the birthday party has begun?"
"Well, there are a lot of people, and the noise is a bit of a headache." Yi Qingchen stood next to the handrail on the second floor, just in time to have a panoramic view of the scene in the hall downstairs, looking at the people talking and laughing with hypocritical masks at the bottom of the building, he couldn't help frowning in disgust.
"By the way, I have something to tell you."
Chu Qiao stood up and walked quickly towards the staircase, until he entered the bedroom and locked the door before continuing: "Do you remember when I first gave birth to a sapphire ring? ”
"Remember, you like it so much that you've been reluctant to take it in the safe." He smiled: "I will help you buy more sapphires in the future." ”
"No, do you know what Mom said when she gave me this sapphire ring?"
"Huh? Say what? ”
Seeing that Chu Qiao's tone was rare and so serious, Yi Qingchen couldn't help but be curious.
Chu Qiao took a deep breath and finally made up his mind.
"Mom said, this is the family emblem of the head of the family!"
Although Yi Anning told her not to tell Yi Qingchen when she gave her this ring, she finally couldn't help but say it.
Her husband was disturbed by her grandfather because of this so-called family crest, she really didn't want to keep this meaningless secret anymore, the two of them were about to have a wedding, she only hoped that these messy things could be dealt with as soon as possible, so that their next life could be peaceful, this matter, even if she broke her promise to Yi Anning!
"This sapphire ring was passed down from my grandmother to my mother, and then my mother gave it to me, and it is said that in our Stuart family, this ring is only passed on to the eldest daughter-in-law, and it must be the eldest daughter-in-law after giving birth to a son." Chu Qiao paused and continued: "What's more, the family emblem of the head of the family should be two copies, this is what Song Wan told me before she fled, as for what the other one looks like, I don't know yet, you can only find a way to check it yourself." ”
"It's enough to have this half."
Yi Qingchen's voice had a smile in it, and it seemed that he was in a better mood than just now.
Also, she should be happy to tell him such a big secret.
"I guess the other half is still in Grandpa's hands, so you have to be careful."
"yes, I see."
He gently lowered his questions on the phone, and when Chu Qiao hung up the phone, he put away the phone and walked towards Old Stuart's study with a smile.
He knocked lightly on the door, and when no one answered, he pushed himself in.
"Grandpa."
At the desk, old Stuart, who had been sitting upright, was stuffing something into a drawer with a nervous face.
"Grandpa, it's time for the game to end, you've been playing for more than ten years."
Yi Qingchen pulled the chair across from him and sat down.
"I said that as long as you get the clan crest, then this will all be over." Old Stuart grabbed a cigar and put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it.
"But, as far as I know, you haven't got it yet, have you?"
"Is it really interesting for you to join forces to play such a boring game and have so much fun doing it?"
Old Stuart shrugged, "I don't understand what you're talking about, Andren, you're always so fond of joking." ”
"It's not like you've been joking for fourteen years."
Yi Qingchen suddenly stood up and walked behind him, leaned down slightly, and glanced at the drawer that had not been completely closed.
He had just reached out to pull the drawer when old Stuart pushed it to death.
"I remember telling you before, I don't like people touching my things, have you forgotten?"
Although the voice is still elegant, it is obviously a little low.
"I guess it's something about grandma."
For so many years, because grandpa has not allowed grandma to hang photos at home, and no one is allowed to mention grandma, Yi Qingchen once thought that grandpa hated grandma very much, but now it seems that this may not be the case.
There was a rare hint of unnaturalness on Old Stuart's face, but there was a smile hidden in his bottomless blue eyes.
"Get out, what's in my drawer, it's my business."
"Do you have to say it? Or do you find it interesting to continue pretending to be stupid? ”
Unable to open the drawer, Yi Qingchen was not annoyed, and walked back to the position just now and sat down with a leisurely face, staring at the extremely elegant old-fashioned British man in front of him with interest.
In fact, his grandfather is really a very perfect man.
"Things without empirical evidence can always only be called speculation, and speculations without any basis can certainly be ignored."
Old Stuart didn't bother too much, got up and walked towards the door.
"You love your wife so much, but you are with two other women one after another, I really want to know what it is like in your heart, and you pay such a price just to hone your grandson, do you really think it is worth it? In love, in addition to spiritual loyalty, physical is also very important, even if it is in England. ”
"Yes, even if it's in the UK." Old Stuart muttered.
This time, the smile on his face was different from before, it was a smile from the heart, which made Yi Qingchen more and more sure of the conjecture in his heart.
"My wife, from beginning to end, was only one person, both physically and mentally."
"I think a large part of my behavior habits have been inherited from you, such as infatuation and single-mindedness."
Old Stuart smiled and nodded, "I thought I would have to wait another year, but I finally made me wait, in fact, Andre, did I tell you?" ”
"Huh?"
"You make me more proud than your father."
"There will be opportunities in the future." Thinking that the troublesome things would be solved so easily, Yi Qingchen suddenly felt a sense of relief in his heart, but it was as if something wonderful was suddenly missing in his life, and he felt that his adrenal hormones would never be as strong as before.
"Until your wife gives birth to your firstborn child, those experiences can only be counted as experiences for you. About 200 years ago, the most loving pair of our ancestors divided the family emblem of the family into two and made a pair of rings, so this habit has continued to this day, our Stuart family has always been thin, so few people have to be in charge of the world's premier family, the weight of the head of the family, people who have not personally experienced it can not be imagined. In order to make this family invincible forever and always be the supreme control behind the scenes, the older generation of family heads began to rack their brains to train the new family heads. Since your father, I have discussed it with your grandmother, so your second uncle's mother will appear later, and in fact, you have also investigated clearly, your second uncle is not my biological child. ”
"It seems that you were really prescient, no wonder you went for the ligation early."
Yi Qingchen's words actually carried some sarcasm, and old Stuart naturally wouldn't fail to hear it.
"You really thought I was going to want a woman other than your grandma? Your grandmother, the most honorable lady in our United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the most beautiful and intelligent woman in this country, do you not have such a feeling when such a woman appears in your life, and you will never see any woman except her in your life? Apart from your wife, there are only men left in this world. ”
Yi Qingchen finally smiled and nodded, "It seems that we have all inherited the excellent genes of that ancestor two hundred years ago. ”
"Grandpa, seriously, aren't you worried? If Joe hadn't told me about it, wouldn't the two of us have been fighting for the rest of our lives? ”
Old Stuart suddenly pulled the corners of his lips coldly, "If she hadn't told you before I died, then she wouldn't have lived." ”
