"I heard that the kid from the Gu family is back?" Old Man Chu had just finished lunch, took the paper towel handed over by the servant, wiped the corners of his mouth, and asked the housekeeper by the way.

"Well, when I went to the eldest young master to deliver something two days ago, I saw it from afar, and I specially asked Uncle Xu, it is said that I will come back for the summer vacation, and I will go abroad to continue my studies in a few days." The housekeeper replied respectfully, and told all the things he had heard, everyone knew that this old man cared about Gu Qiao.

"Dad, if you want me to say, this day's daughter-in-law is also a little ignorant, just after she got married, she brought her family back to live, if people know, wouldn't it be a joke!"

Wang Lan, who was eating and drinking at the table, couldn't help but put down the dishes and chopsticks in her hand, and mocked Gu Qiao's poor and sour style, not to mention Zhong Ming, even if it was Gu Qiao's woman, she would not easily let go of any opportunity to slander the other party.

"So what, since you have entered the door of our Chu family, you are a member of the Chu family, not to mention a child, even if Qiao Qiao brought her mother and other good friends back to live, it is understandable!"

Everyone knows that this old man has favored Zhong Ming since he was a child, and he also takes care of the Gu family, Wang Lan's words are nothing more than hitting the muzzle of the gun, even Chu Haoxiong does not dare to have opinions easily, but she is looking for trouble by herself.

Originally, I didn't want to pay any attention to this, this was Wang Lan's own fault, so let her find a way to dissipate the anger of Old Man Chu by herself.

But after receiving Wang Lan's eyes of help and expectation, Chu Haoxiong simply gave up, so he had to bite the bullet and defend Wang Lan a few words: "Dad, Lan Lan didn't mean that, Tianyao and they just got married and didn't have a honeymoon trip, and suddenly there was an extra child, which would inevitably affect their opportunities and time to be alone, isn't this what you usually care about the most?" ”

"Yes, Dad, I just misused my words, so you misunderstood, I really didn't mean that, I just talked about things" Wang Lan heard that Chu Haoxiong said a few good words for herself, so she had to strike while the iron was hot and continue to defend herself.

After all, the Chu family is still the old man in charge, and the other party is a stubborn and stubborn person, if she makes the other party unhappy now, then the future will be even more difficult.

She has endured it for more than ten or twenty years, and no matter how much she endures, she will not bother to take care of this old immortal feeling until Hefeng wins the inheritance.

But now is a critical juncture, there is no room for any mistakes, otherwise all the hard work will be in vain, Wang Lan has a flattering far-fetched smile on the corner of her mouth, which really makes Old Man Chu look more and more unhappy.

"What are you thinking in your hearts, I am old, and I don't break it, I hope that this family will be harmonious, as for the affairs of the young couple of Tianyao, you don't need to ask in the future, just live your own life." Old Man Chu put his words in front of the two parties, and then got up and left the table.

"Father is right, we will pay attention to it later." Chu Haoxiong immediately replied and made a promise, although he was really dissatisfied with Gu Qiao's daughter-in-law's family background, but after all, it was the old man and Zhong Ming who chose it themselves, with the current embarrassing situation, his father, who did not have much say at home, would no longer interfere more.

However, Wang Lan didn't seem to be willing at all, she felt that she was the wife of Chu Haoxiong of the Chu family, why did she have such no status in the family, and she had to be careful about even saying a word, she didn't want to live such a life anymore, she had to let her son vent for herself.

After eating, the old man Chu who went to the yard to eat instructed the housekeeper standing behind him: "I haven't seen my lovely granddaughter-in-law for a few days, and it just so happens that Ayana has also come back, you will call later, and say that you will let Qiaoqiao and them bring their younger brother over for dinner." ”

"Okay, I'll do it right away." The housekeeper turned around and planned to leave to do errands, for fear of delaying Old Man Chu's instructions, but he was called back without thinking about it, "Wait, you come back first." ”

"Is there anything else you need to explain?" The housekeeper repeatedly confirmed with Old Man Chu, for fear that he would miss the words that should be conveyed.

"That's not it, it's noon, let them have a good meal, and you can contact them in the evening." Old Man Chu picked up a pair of scissors in the courtyard, and began to be a little idle, and he was busy twice.

"It's still the master who is thoughtful, if the young grandmother knows that the master cares about them so much, she must be very happy in her heart." The butler couldn't help but praise a few good words.

"When people are old, the greatest pursuit is to have children and grandchildren happy, this old man of the Gu family has a lifelong friendship with me, who would have thought that the Gu family would become like this after a hundred years, Sister Qiao Qiao is a good child, I really can't bear that they have a bad life!"

Old Man Chu reached out and cut off a handful of potted branches and leaves, put the scissors in his hand back in place, and stretched out his hand to prepare to clean it.

"It is said that people go to tea and cool, sir, it is already rare for you to have such thoughts, and now that the eldest young master has married Mrs. again, don't worry too much, take care of your body more!" The housekeeper has been by the old man's side for many years, so he will naturally give a few words of advice.

"That's right, but you can see the situation today, I can't worry about it, it's not that I'm biased, but I just need to think of the virtuous and filial piety of Tianyao's mother back then, and then look at the one inside, in contrast, it is inevitable that it will be chilling, Tianyao was sent by me to take care of him since he was a child, I believe he will definitely make a big difference!"

Old Man Chu thoughtfully said a few more words to the housekeeper, and felt that his stomach was a little digested, so he went back to the house to take a lunch break.

Inside a suburban villa.

Since getting Zhong Ming's permission, Gu Yan often goes to the study to stay, but he is not a child who does not understand the rules, every time Zhong Ming comes back or sees someone coming to discuss things with him, Gu Yan will take the initiative to take the book back to his room to read, without affecting the other party's work and life at all.

On this day, Xi Zi'an, who had been returning to his parents for a long time because of accompanying him from a long trip, and had not been able to come over for a long time to talk, went to the study on the second floor with familiarity.

There are not many servants in the family, and they know that Xi Zi'an has always had a good relationship with their young master, so they don't dare to ask more, unless Xi Zi'an takes the initiative to find them to ask about Zhong Ming's whereabouts, otherwise, usually, the other party is more well-informed than them.

I thought that Zhong Ming was at home and would inevitably be in the study, but there was no figure before and after, so Xi Zi'an took it upon himself to go to the study first to wait, but he didn't expect that as soon as he pushed the door open, he saw a young man reading a book sitting on the ground.

"You are? You can't just come in here, you better go out quickly, otherwise you will be seen by Zhong Ming when the time comes, and you will be miserable! Xi Zi'an's footsteps disturbed Gu Yan's thoughts, and when he looked up, he found that an outsider had entered the study at some point.

"Who are you?" Obviously, for this child of unknown origin, Xi Zi'an also felt a little curious, "Since you know that this is not easy to enter, then you still have the courage to take the book here privately, so ignorant of the rules?!" ”

I probably don't know the identity of the other party, and I thought it was a child from a servant's family who didn't know the rules, and trespassed on the forbidden land without permission.

If it is known who dares to make decisions without permission and enters this room, the maid is afraid that he will not stay long, Xi Zi'an is also a little angry for a while, where did such a wild child come from.

"I'm different from you, but this master himself agreed to let me in, and you yourself are unknown and don't know what to do!" Gu Yan's sharp teeth and sharp mouth made Xi Zi angry a lot.

Thinking that his business of millions of minutes would be laughed at like this, and the other party was still a yellow-haired boy, he felt a little incredible: "You stand still, let's just wait for the owner of this house?!" ”

"Wait, wait, who's afraid of whom!" Gu Yan was also a little unconvinced, so he simply ignored Xi Zi'an, put the book in his hand back to the place, and the two sat on the sofa parallel to each other and looked at each other.

"What's so hilarious?" Zhong Ming's voice and footsteps came synchronously, Xi Zi'an didn't mean to get up, but Gu Yan, a child, felt very happy when he saw Zhong Ming's arrival, as if he had found a backer, and immediately greeted him.
