Chapter 225: Fu Tingyan Has Something to Say
After Qin Shu got into the car, Housekeeper Fu closed the door and turned around to get into the passenger seat.
The driver drove to the old residence.
No one talked along the way
Fu residence-
After getting out of the car, Qin Shu followed Housekeeper Fu all the way into De An Courtyard of the Fu residence.
De An Courtyard was the old madam’s residence. The old madam took her meals in her own courtyard unless it was a formal occasion.
Fu Tingyan lived in the same courtyard as the old madam for now.
Qin Shu followed Housekeeper Fu into the dining room.
In the dining room, were ten dishes and one soup on the round mahogany table. She could smell the aroma of the dishes the moment she walked in.
There were three people sitting around the round mahogany table. They were the old madam, Fu Tingyan, and Xu Wei. They were chatting and laughing together.
When she saw Xu Wei, she could roughly guess why Grandma suddenly called her over for dinner.
If she was not wrong, Xu Wei must have said something in front of her grandmother after she was angered by the little yellow duck.
When the old madam saw Qin Shu walking in, she didn’t show much emotion. However, there was a smile in her eyes. Was it because she was in a good mood because of what they were talking about?
“You must be hungry. Sit down and eat first.”
When Qin Shu heard this, she quickened her pace and walked to the round mahogany table. There was an empty seat between the old madam and Fu Tingyan, so she walked to the empty seat and sat down.
After she sat down, she looked up at the old madam and called out politely, “Grandma.”
The old madam nodded. “Everyone must be hungry. Let’s eat first.”
Fu Tingyan saw that Qin Shu was the only one who came. A trace of doubt flashed across his narrow eyes. He looked at the old madam. “Grandma, Why didn’t you ask my elder brother over for dinner?”
The old madam said, “Your brother is busy. Maybe next time.”
“Tingyu is indeed very busy these days. Sometimes, he’s so busy that he doesn’t even have time to eat.”
At this point, Xu Wei looked at Qin Shu across from her and reminded her in a seemingly friendly manner, “You’re his girlfriend. You should show more concern for him. I feel that he seems to have lost some weight recently. He’s probably too busy.”
When the old madam heard this, she nodded in agreement. “Weiwei is still more meticulous. Yu has a lot on his shoulders in this position. He must be too busy to come back for dinner these days.”
After the old madam said that, she looked at Qin Shu and said with a heavier tone, “You should learn from her. You can’t help him at the office, so you have to deal with the matters at home well. Don’t let Yu worry about the outside and also worry about what’s going on at home.”
Qin Shu nodded obediently and replied, “I know, Grandma. I’ll work hard to lessen the burden on Yu.”
The old madam looked at Qin Shu for a few seconds. “Don’t just be all talk and no action. Weiwei was born into a wealthy family and knows more than you. Get Weiwei to teach you.”
“I have worried you, Grandma. I will definitely consult Miss Xu on the things I don’t know. Don’t worry.” Qin Shu looked at Xu Wei with a smile on her lips. “I’ll have to trouble Miss Xu.”
“Our two families are close friends. You won’t be troubling me. You’re too polite,” Xu Wei said.
Fu Tingyan lowered his head and ate the food in front of him. Listening to the three women chatting was really boring.
However, his brother wasn’t there.
Should he say a few words?
It was really too difficult for him.
“Even if she’s a family friend, Miss Xu has to be busy with her own matters every day. It’s really not easy for her to take time out from her busy schedule.”
“It’s alright. I still have a lot of things to learn from Tingyu. It can also be considered mutual assistance, so you don’t have to feel embarrassed.”
The old madam also spoke at this moment, “Weiwei is right. You should take the time to learn etiquette.”
Fu Tingyan suddenly raised his head and looked at the old madam. “Grandma, sister-in-law is still a student. Her studies are the most important thing for her to focus on right now. She can learn all that after she graduates.”
