Chapter 613: Hiding a knife in a smile
Walking into the villa, there are all kinds of murals on the walls, and the atmospheric furnishings make people involuntarily feel that it is a very lofty style.
As soon as I walked to the center of the living room, there was a big sister Liu in yellow clothes who had already come to meet me.
"Finally waiting for you to come back, young master, hello young lady!"
The two people who greeted Sister Liu very respectfully, of course, this eldest sister has been in Qiao's house for nearly 20 years, and she can be regarded as an old servant, and her eyes involuntarily followed Gu Ruxi with a sense of observation.
Sister Liu has never figured it out, how could her eldest young master fall in love with such a woman? Why did the eldest young master quarrel with his own family for the sake of this woman, presumably this woman should have a special charm, right?
"Madam, Mr. has just called, saying that a friend from Europe has come to negotiate business, and may not come back until after dinner, the old lady has just been a little dizzy, so the words are resting in the room, and she has not gotten up yet."
After Sister Liu saw Wu Wenwan, she hurriedly made a detailed report on the things in the family, as if this Wu Wenwan was a heroine in the family.
Wu Wenwan was not polite, and nodded with a smile to indicate that she knew about it.
Gu Ruxi couldn't help but look at Qiao Yilong, but he didn't seem to be able to see any waves through the other party's eyes and expression, as if it was a very ordinary thing, and there was a kind of still water.
Qiao Yilong didn't plan to say hello to Wu Wenwan at all, his face was cold and disdainful, but the more this was the case, Gu Ruxi could see that although there was no emotion on the surface, he actually minded very much in his heart.
Perhaps because he loved this man, he couldn't help but hold this man's hand, conveyed his own mood to him, and told him that he would definitely accompany him.
"It's okay if you two are fine, I'll go and see the old lady now, if I hear that you are back, the old lady may come downstairs immediately."
Wu Wenwan once again showed the demeanor of a hostess, as if she was simply showing a thing, without any sharp attitude.
But that gesture is already very unpleasant, as if everything in this house is in control of her.
Then Qiao Yilong pulled Gu Ruxi to sit there and said, as if the two of them were just guests, but coming here as a guest was not Qiao Yilong's home where he grew up.
And this Wu Wenwan didn't seem to have any nostalgia for Qiao Yilong's cold attitude, but seemed to be accustomed to it, and turned directly to Sister Liu and said.
"Sister Liu, hurry up and make a cup of coffee for the young master and his wife, and bring some candy and some fruit platter."
Gu Ruxi was stunned for a moment, and the other party's order was actually a kind of politeness to entertain guests, so the implication was that the two of us came here really as a guest visit.
Gu Ruxi thought that this woman was really powerful enough, and she had already drawn the two of them out of the Qiao family's scope in terms of language and behavior.
Sister Liu hurriedly went to make coffee for the two of them and brought a fruit platter, at this time Wu Wenwan had already gone upstairs to visit the old lady, Gu Ruxi noticed that Qiao Yilong gradually revealed a trace of disdain.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see some places, places where I used to live."
Qiao Yilong is still as gentle as water, affectionate, and seems to be able to see a kind of anger from the other party, but he restrains his emotions and attitude.
It seems that this man didn't plan to do it, and he followed Wu Wenwan's instructions and planned to kill himself.
Gu Ruxi directly took the man's hand and sat on the sofa, shaking his head: "Forget it, it's not too late to see you when the time comes, maybe the old lady will come down directly, isn't it better for us to wait for the old lady here?" ”
Gu Ruxi felt that it was better to keep a low profile in this matter, the woman just now was already so public, and she could understand that the current affairs were handsome, why did she need to open this storm, wouldn't it be the pain of the enemy.
So Gu Ruxi pulled Qiao Yilong to sit directly on the sofa, and directly instructed Sister Liu: "Sister Liu, please make us two cups of green tea, don't drink coffee, thank you!" ”
Sister Liu looked back suddenly, but she didn't expect that this Gu Ruxi would directly refuse his wife's coffee, but instead drink green tea.
Although this is a small detail, it can be seen that this woman is not so easy to mess with in this battle, or that she has her own decisions in this world.
So Sister Liu showed a kind of surprise in her eyes, but she nodded quickly and respectfully and left.
The old lady wore a lilac cheongsam outfit and walked down directly, although it was not as luxurious as it was at the wedding scene that day, but this lilac cheongsam could better reflect an extraordinary taste of the host's family.
And the old lady walked down dignifiedly, in fact, looking at the old lady's mental outlook, it was still very good, and there was no such dizziness and brain fever as in the legend.
Hehe, it seems that it was just an excuse just now, so at this time, when the old lady was invited downstairs by Wu Wenwan, there was still an unhappy element on her face, or some reluctance.
"Hello old lady, I'm sorry to disturb you, I wonder if your head was still dizzy just now?"
Gu Ruxi stood up and said this, and his facial expression was a kind of optical fiber smile, revealing an angle of 45 degrees, which was completely a kind of respect from a junior to an elder.
Gu Ruxi kicked Qiao Yilong with his foot when he said this, and the man immediately followed: "Old lady, this is a chessboard that I asked a European friend to bring back from outside, this is the chess piece of the top Liangtian Yuzhu, if you have time, your grandson is willing to accompany you to play a few games of chess pieces, open it wide, refresh your mind, and be young forever." ”
When Qiao Yilong said this, he didn't have the unpleasant feeling just now, as if he said it naturally, and his mouth was sweet, directly like smearing honey, **sweet.
Gu Ruxi couldn't help but watch this man play this man's role, and the change was also very fast, and it was really a coping-level performance.
The old lady's face was still gloomy, as if it still hadn't, because the fart would feel happy, but her hands were a little stiff.
Because Qiao Yilong stepped forward directly and helped the old lady down.
Oh, hey, which play is this old and young playing? How did you fit in so quickly.
"It's rare that you still have an old lady like me in your heart, you are already married, and I don't want to say anything more, I guess you also sound annoying, but there are some things I know that although you are very annoying, you still have to talk about the rules of the Qiao family."
Gu Ruxi's facial expression was calm, accepting what the old lady said to her.
Gu Ruxi stood up and was about to step forward to help the old lady, but at this time she heard Qiao Yilong hurriedly stop her.
"Old lady, don't you know that Gu Ruxi injured her foot some time ago, and it was inconvenient to walk back and forth, hurting her muscles and bones for a hundred days, if you have anything unhappy about it, old lady, you can just settle it."
Qiao Yilong said this, it obviously protected the dog food, and in that tone, his eyes were soft, the rhythm was calm, and he even had a kind of new good man who doted on his wife.
But it must be unpleasant for the old lady to come to hear, you can't just have no reason because this woman has a broken foot, so the old lady's face is still slightly unhappy.
The old lady glanced at Gu Ruxi, with a certain vinegar in her tone: "I know that you are now an eagle with wings, and now you can fly as much as you want, how do you know how to fool my old lady!" ”
Qiao Yilong smiled faintly when he heard this, but he didn't say anything, but Wu Wenwan next to him smiled gently.
"Mothers are young, they all have their own lives, and naturally they have their own choices, so we may not understand their reasons."
Does this sentence sound like an illiterate person helping them speak? And at this time, Gu Ruxi obviously found Qiao Yilong, and his face showed an ice cube on his face again, and he saw the old lady showing a very relieved smile.
This action has clearly shown that the old lady has completely accepted Wu Wenwan and likes each other very much.
This is a very important contradiction, so for Qiao Yilong, this is a big obstacle.
The old lady smiled: "What can young people understand, it is completely to follow their own feelings, they don't understand the shortcomings of parents or etiquette, they don't care about their parents' feelings at all, and they do whatever they want, which is not good." ”
Wu Wenwan stood next to her and lowered her head slightly, smiled faintly, and did not reply any of her words, and she was respectful to any of the old lady's remarks.
Gu Ruxi stood up at this time, walked directly to the left position of the old lady and sat down, Qiao Yilong sat on the right, and Wu Wenwan sat next to her.
Gu Ruxi smiled, with a kind of respect for the elders: "In fact, it was our mistake to be the juniors, to do things frizzily, and not to get a recognition from the old lady, and to ask the old lady to give us guidance, so that we can know how to maintain the honor of the Qiao family as the juniors." ”
Gu Ruxi sat next to the old lady without hesitation, and had no intention of leaving at all, as if she was stammering the old lady's meaning, with a kind of coquettish little girl feelings.
The old lady saw Gu Ruxi's attitude and recognition, and her facial expression changed slightly, it seems that this woman is still respectful at least in her own position.
But the old lady was not so easy to fool in tone, and still said with a slight regret.
"You are also a daughter, you are used to a superior life, I am very worried that our Qiao family may not neglect you, I am afraid that you will be wronged by us, and you may not be used to life."
The old lady still had that tone, and it seemed that all the responsibility and guilt were still on Qiao Yilong's head.
This is where the old lady is very smart, she won't say anything about anyone directly, but she hides a needle in a brocade and a knife in a smile.
Gu Ruxi saw that the old lady was still arrogant, but she just pretended not to understand the meaning, and said happily intuitively.
"Qiao Yilong and I realized that now, he has been very caring for me, tolerant of me, protecting me, I feel a very tender love, and being able to marry Qiao Yilong is that I feel that I am very happy to be cultivated in three lives and three lifetimes."
Gu Ruxi showed that marrying Shuliu was not a trace of grievance, but a very happy thing.
The old lady didn't say a word, and looked back directly at her precious grandson Qiao Yilong, and he was also looking at Gu Ruxi, the two of them looked at each other, and smiled slightly and said that the two of them are really newlyweds.
In the old lady's opinion, the marriage of the two of them should not have a purpose, it should be a natural kind of love, and the result is not an impurity.
The old lady's gaze suddenly became much gentler, and she seemed to have made a preliminary judgment about the current situation, and she also began to look at Gu Ruxi with admiration.
So the old lady directly instructed Sister Liu: "Hurry up and call Ruhan back for dinner." ”
Of course, I don't know what the old lady's emotions and thoughts are, of course, it is impossible to dispel the old lady's doubts with a few words, after all, the old lady is a person who has seen the wind and waves, and coupled with Gu Ruxi's family background, she will naturally not slack off.
As an elder of a wealthy family, he still has that kind of bearing, and he will not deliberately embarrass him, Gu Ruxi's attitude at this time is still very good, which makes the whole atmosphere seem more integrated.
"Mother, Ruhan just got on the phone, saying that a friend from Europe came over, saying that it was a matter of the company, let's eat first, don't wait for him."
Wu Wenwan has already started to set up plates on the dining table, not talking very much, and a lady is also participating in setting this kind of plate, which shows a respect for the identity of Gu Ruxi and Qiao Yilong, or can show a kind of temperament of Hui Lanxin.
Maybe it's this low-key that makes the old lady feel like her very much.
Presumably that is also a natural thing, the old lady has been calling for wind and rain for nearly half a century, and she has long been accustomed to mastering the world, so the more she listens to her own words, the more she likes it.
For bad students like Gu Ruxi and Qiao Yilong, it is inevitable that they will still have headaches.
"Didn't Qianqian go home either? Why haven't you seen a shadow at home in the past two days, where have you gone to play? Is it really because of the marriage of my brother and sister-in-law, do you really dare not come back? ”
When the old lady said this, she actually made it very clear by name, that is, Qiao Yilong's sister went to steal the household registration book, so that the two of them got married so smoothly, maybe Qianqian was very afraid of the old lady's blame, and she really slipped out and didn't see her head in the past two days.
Gu Ruxi was thinking that it was really Qiao Qianqian who helped her with things, and she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"Old lady, you are still scolding Qianqian, how can you blame her for this matter, I, as an elder brother, must have her help me do this anyway, so the old lady don't blame Qianqian's head for this anger, if you want to blame my grandson, blame my grandson."
Qiao Yilong frankly said this reason, but the old lady also glanced at him and didn't say anything more.
Then there are some sighs in Gu Ruxi's heart, it seems that the old lady doesn't like herself, through the old lady's eyes and a tone, it has been shown that the combination of herself and Qiao Yilong is a kind of mistake from beginning to end.
Although the old lady didn't say anything to embarrass herself, she couldn't get off the stage, but there was still that kind of coldness in her words.
It's just a kind of words on the scene, a kind of politeness on the table, and it doesn't tear the face.
Gu Ruxi also smiled faintly, and didn't say a word, it seems that it is not a simple thing to climb Mount Everest of the old lady, an avalanche may occur anytime and anywhere, and the future is really long.
To see who can stick this last piece into the head of Mount Everest, then it must be endured, and it must be strategic, not reckless.
"You two brothers and sisters really make the old lady worry a lot in my heart, have you two brothers and sisters completely ignored my old lady for so many years? If it weren't for your aunt inviting you back for dinner today, wouldn't I not have been able to see the two of you this year, wouldn't I have to visit you to see you. ”
Gu Ruxi knew the old lady's whispered complaints, and only then did she suddenly understand that it was not the old lady who sincerely asked them to come over for this dinner today, but the organizer of this rice ball was actually Wu Wenwan.
It seems that this woman is really not simple, and she knows that retreat is advance.
Sure enough, just like Qiao Yilong had warned herself, the woman finally couldn't hold her breath and began to pave the way for her daughter.
This woman is not ordinarily simple, in terms of strategy, women are deep in the city, and it is not an easy thing to overturn Wu Bingbing and Zhao Yijing in front of this woman.
Gu Ruxi smiled faintly and didn't say anything.
At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of a car outside, and then from inside the doorway came the sound of ticking high heels, and the proud sound of stepping on the marble could be felt, and a very sweet cheer was immediately heard.
"Old lady, mother, I'm hungry!"
When Wu Bingbing was very happy and walked over like a little butterfly, the smile on her face suddenly froze, because she saw Gu Ruxi and Qiao Yilong who were sitting in the restaurant.
That smile suddenly disappeared, changed very quickly, and looked at the two people with a kind of anger.
Zhao Yijing, who was following behind, was also stunned for a moment, and never expected to see Gu Ruxi and Qiao Yilong sitting next to the old lady at this time, and a sense of crisis suddenly occurred.
Wu Bingbing couldn't hold his breath, and said in a very sharp voice.
"Mother, why didn't you tell me that the two of them also came, and if the two of them came, I wouldn't come!"
This kind of heart carries a kind of arrogance, a kind of accusation, and an attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away, or saying that Gu Ruxi and Qiao Yilong are as disgusted as snakes and scorpions.
Wu Bingbing had that feeling of grievance on his face, and he didn't hide it at all, and he was very angry.
