Chapter 22: A Qualified Daughter-in-law
Seeing Fu Xingning come forward to talk, Fu Zhezhou took the opportunity to introduce to Ye Wanxi.
Ye Wanxi is not stupid, although Fu Xingning seems to have gentle eyebrows, she always feels that the smile on the corner of this woman's mouth is not sincere when she looks at her again.
"Thanks for the compliment."
Ye Wanxi responded politely and didn't say a word.
Ye Wanxi just wore a signature smile the whole time, even if Fu Xingning stepped forward to say hello, she was just warm and generous.
Facing Ye Wanxi, who spoke without leaking, Fu Xingning was secretly aggrieved in her heart, this woman was really not a fuel-efficient lamp.
After a while, it was time for the family dinner.
Everyone took their seats in an orderly manner.
A few minutes later, an old lady with white hair and almost antiquity slowly came to the table with the support of the servant.
Although the old lady looked old, her gray hair was neatly combed, and her shrewd eyes looked bright, without the slightest sense of vicissitudes.
When they saw the old woman coming, everyone stood up to greet her.
"Grandma."
"Hello grandma."
"Grandma!"
"Okay, all sit, today is a family banquet, don't be so restrained."
Seeing that everyone got up to greet each other, the old lady stretched out her hand and motioned to sit down, although she was the most senior person in the Fu family, but the old lady did not have half a point of elders.
"Grandma, sit down!" Fu Tingxu stepped forward and took the old lady to sit on the main seat, and as the old lady sat down, everyone sat down one by one.
Old Lady Fu's shrewd eyes flashed on Fu Tingxu's body, and then she nodded with satisfaction, and then saw Ye Wanxi smiling at her on the side.
A wise figure like an old lady, when she saw Ye Wanxi sitting next to Fu Tingxu, she naturally knew the relationship between this woman and her grandson.
The old lady's deep eyes slightly looked at Ye Wanxi on the side.
Ye Wanxi was well-dressed, behaved generously, did not look pretentious, and always maintained a polite smile at everyone.
Then he quietly withdrew his gaze from Ye Wanxi, and hooked his lips with satisfaction, but did not show half a point on his face.
She is very satisfied with this granddaughter-in-law.
"Okay, today is a family banquet, everyone rarely gets together, so don't be so restrained, you're hungry, move your chopsticks quickly."
There are all kinds of delicacies neatly placed on the dining table, and if there is no old lady seated, everyone will not dare to move the chopsticks.
With the old lady's order, they picked up the tableware in their hands and enjoyed the food on the table.
Ye Wanxi, who was sitting next to Fu Tingxu, saw others moving chopsticks, so she gently picked up the vegetables.
She tried her best to reduce her sense of existence, for fear that saying the wrong word would cause unnecessary trouble to the man next to her.
But the more a person is afraid of something, the more something comes.
Fu Zhezhou, who was sitting opposite Ye Wanxi, could see the woman's careful thinking early in the morning, especially when he saw her take the wrong knife and fork, a trace of cunning immediately crossed his eyes.
"Hey, by the way, sister-in-law, are you used to eating Western food? Our family dinners are usually Western-style meals, this steak is good, do you want to try it? ”
Fu Zhezhou pretended to be enthusiastic and asked Ye Wanxi on the side, and then "kindly" sandwiched a large piece of steak into her plate.
Seeing this, Ye Wanxi, who was holding a knife and fork, tightened her hands, and a trace of embarrassment crossed her eyes.
What kind of Western food does she know?
Such a large piece of beef, with a knife and a fork, can do the job with a pair of chopsticks, and you have to use so many troublesome cutlery.
Ye Wanxi's palms were nervous and about to sweat.
Fu Zhezhou has long wanted to see this woman make a fool of herself in front of everyone, and now he is even more proud in his heart.
A country bun.
She wants to see how her dignified fiancée can't get on the stage.
Fu Zhezhou secretly rejoiced, he just waited to see Ye Wanxi's jokes on the side.
"She's never liked such complicated procedures, so I always cut them for her before she ate them."
Just when Ye Wanxi didn't know how to go under the knife, Fu Tingxu's gentle and cold voice came.
Three under five divided by two, a large piece of steak is divided by the same proportion under the perfect division of the man.
"Okay, that's pretty much it, eat it, it's not good if it's cold."
Saying this, Fu Tingxu handed the beef fork to Ye Wanxi's mouth again.
Seeing the two of them looking so tender and sweet, everyone lowered their heads and smiled.
And the old lady on the side saw this scene in her eyes, and her heart was already happy.
Seeing this, Ye Wanxi opened her mouth very cooperatively and bit off the meat handed to her mouth.
"How? Do you still need to cut into small pieces? ”
"Uh-huh."
Fu Tingxu asked very intimately, and Ye Wanxi on the side bowed slightly.
"Tingxu, can I drink some red wine?"
Ye Wanxi cautiously asked the man with an inquiring tone.
"Yes, drink less, drink too much and hurt yourself."
After getting Fu Tingxu's approval, Ye Wanxi picked up the red wine on the side and took a slight sip.
Ye Wanxi behaved meekly and well-behaved, and everything was Fu Tingxu's priority, and her obedient appearance was simply happy in the heart of the old lady on the side.
"Look, Ting Xu is really considerate, I've never seen him so considerate of that girl."
"Isn't it, this girl is not bad, everything is according to the court, girls should put their husbands first, this is what the daughter-in-law of the Fu family should do."
"The two of them are talented and beautiful, and they are so sweet and sweet before they are married, but they are really envious of others!"
Seeing Fu Tingxu's behavior of protecting his wife so gently, there was a small discussion at the dining table.
As we all know, Fu Tingxu has always been indifferent and self-contained in the Fu family, and he is even more cold and rejects people thousands of miles away.
They had never seen Fu Tingxu so considerate of such a woman.
All these behaviors of protecting his wife have different expressions in the eyes of everyone, some are surprised, some are doubtful, and more are envious.
The old lady of the Fu family saw her grandson so caring and considerate, and the smile in the corner of her eyes deepened a little.
But when Fu Zhezhou saw that Ye Wanxi did not make a fool of himself in front of everyone, a trace of imperceptible ruthlessness immediately crossed his eyes.
Fu Zhezhou took the knife and fork and cut the steak on the plate fiercely, chewing the steak in his mouth without saying a word.
A family banquet ended perfectly, and Ye Wanxi, the future daughter-in-law of the Fu family, was very qualified in the eyes of everyone.
When the banquet was over, the seven aunts and eight aunts said hello and dispersed, but Ye Wanxi was called aside by the old lady on the side.
"Girl, I'll leave later, I have something I want to talk to you about."
Old Lady Fu looked at Ye Wanxi on the side with a loving and kind face, and her big rough hands full of wrinkles held the woman's hand tightly and tightly.
Something?
What's the matter?
Hearing that the old lady was left alone to talk, Ye Wanxi was shocked, but she still nodded with a strong smile.
