As the group entered the living room, Chu Xiao stood nervously, avoiding eye contact with Chu Yi. Her anxious demeanor was palpable, which indicated a mix of guilt and unease.
Chu Yi, with a slight smile, playfully inquired, “Is this… my elder sister? I remember you married Ma Lianping back then. I wonder how my brother-in-law is doing now?”
The mention of ‘brother-in-law’ visibly irked Chu Xiao.
Chu Yi was obviously pretending to be ignorant and deliberately humiliating her. He acted as if he didn’t recognize her, leaving her feeling awkward and embarra.s.sed.
“Hmph, back then, she wanted to marry that Ma guy no matter what. In the end, she was deceived. Alright, let’s not talk about her today. The more I talk about her, the angrier I get.”
Although Old Madam Chu looked disgusted, there was no disdain in her eyes.
Chu Yi, a clever man, grasped the underlying message. He had already planned to deal with Ma Lianping, even without this current situation with Chu Xiao.
He smiled and said, “Oh, I haven’t seen him for a long time. When I have time,
I’ll go and find him to have a good talk!”
Qin Xi seemed to have sensed the grudge in her father’s words. She frowned slightly and looked at Han Shi, giving him a look. Han Shi understood and whispered into her ear, “Don’t worry, in the future, I’ll get the a.s.sault team to protect Dad, Mom, Grandpa, and the others in the capital and get them to open the security company here.”
“That’s a good idea. In the future, our business will slowly move here as well.
Anyway, we have a backer here. When we decide to do something else, we can simply leave the business to Second Brother.”
Qin Xi’s words made Han Shi laugh, his eyes filled with love.
“You young couples are so sweet, always so affectionate with each other. It’s refreshing to see such youthful energy,” Old Madam Chu commented with a teasing but envious tone as she took Qin Xi’s hand and sat on the sofa.
“Grandma, you’re not old either. My father is already so old, but he still looks gentle and refined. He must have taken after you. With this foundation, when you were young, you must be famously beautiful in the capital!” Qin Xi held the old lady’s arm and said sincerely.
“Hahahaha, my granddaughter has good taste. You can tell at a glance.” Old Madam Chu was not humble and admitted with a laugh.
“Indeed. Back then, Mother was indeed more beautiful than everyone else. Although time has made her old, her temperament has become better and better. Every move she makes is innately n.o.ble and elegant. Moreover, she came from a prestigious family.”
Turning to Old Madam Chu, Mu Min suggested, “Perhaps we should update Xi’s household registration and even consider changing her name. What do you think, Mother?”
“Of course. The children of the Chu family naturally have to live in the Chu family. Leave this matter to Fu Zi. I trust him.” When Old Madam Chu heard that Qin Xi was going to be registered in the household register, she was so happy that she immediately arranged for her most trusted aide to do it.
“Xi, don’t go back today. How about staying here with Grandma for a few days?”
Old Madam Chu grabbed Qin Xi’s hand and looked at her hopefully, as if as long as Qin Xi did not agree, the light in her eyes would dim. This made Qin Xi not know whether to laugh or cry.
“Grandma, we came back to stay for a few more days. I even brought some pajamas.. I wonder if you have prepared a room for us!”
