Chapter 101 Don't spoil him too much

Lu Fengqing was taken to Xie Chaowan's residence.

It was a small courtyard, not as big as Xie Chaokun and Gu Zhenying's place, but the scenery was still very pleasant.

Xie Chaowan held Lu Fengqing's hand and stood in the courtyard, looking around. Suddenly, she said, "This is where my third brother and I grew up."

Lu Fengqing was taken aback.

Xie Chaowan gave a bitter smile. "But Third Brother hasn't come back for over twenty years."

“My third brother and I are twins. My third brother was born with poor health. My mother believed the nonsense that my third brother would have a blessed and peaceful life if he married Tang Ya. That’s why she forced my third brother to marry Tang Ya.” Xie Chaowan’s eyes reddened. “But as you can see, this is not a blessing at all, it’s more like a jinx.”

It's not appropriate to comment on other people's affairs, so Lu Fengqing remained silent.

Xie Chaowan instructed one of the servants who was tending to the flowers and plants to stand guard at the gate of the courtyard, telling her not to let anyone in, before pulling Lu Fengqing into the house.

"That woman Tang Ya must have done it on purpose. Seeing us leave her waiting at the door for so long, she deliberately didn't want us to enjoy our meal," Xie Chaowan said, frowning. "And what's with that Miss Qin?"

Lu Fengqing said, "This is the fiancée that Grandpa Gu found for Gu Suixing."

Xie Chaowan frowned even more. "Doesn't Sui Xing already have you? What kind of fiancée is he looking for?"

While at the manor, she had her people inquire and learned that Lu Fengqing was a young lady from the Lu family. This family background and status were enough for Gu Suixing, so there was no question of them being from different social classes.

Lu Fengqing said calmly, "His grandfather doesn't like me."

Xie Chaowan was taken aback. "Why?"

In her opinion, the girl in front of her was both beautiful and likable. Although she was a little aloof, she was much better than those hypocritical and pretentious women outside.

Of course, first impressions are also important. Strangely enough, she liked this girl at first sight, and even after leaving the manor, she would still think about her from time to time.

Seeing her looking like she'd been wronged but was holding back because of her elders, I don't know why, I acted impulsively and brought her out, leaving her brother and sister-in-law standing there. This isn't really something she would do.

Lu Fengqing said, "Because of Sui Xing's father."

Xie Chaowan wanted to ask more, but suddenly remembered what her third brother had mentioned about Gu Zhenjun—Gu Zhenjun got into a car accident while saving a little girl.

Now it seems that Lu Fengqing is that little girl.

Xie Chaowan figured out what was going on and didn't know what to say.

The child who becomes a vegetable isn't their own, so they can't feel the pain themselves, and others can't say anything about it. They can only say that this young couple has had a really tough time.

but……

“Since Sui Xing wants to be with you, he should resolve everything properly, instead of giving others the opportunity to embarrass you like this today,” Xie Chaowan said. “Men are creatures that take an inch and want a mile. Listen to Aunt Wan, don’t spoil him too much. Wait until he has sorted things out before we talk about it again.”

This was the first time Lu Fengqing had heard her elders say these things to her, and she found it quite novel.

However, it is indeed as Xie Chaowan said.

Gu Suixing dotes on her, and she indulges him in everything. Apart from marriage, she gives him whatever he wants. Even when she's angry, he usually coaxes her with a few words and she's fine. It's really not good to do things this way.

Lu Fengqing nodded: "Okay."

Xie Chaowan's expression softened, and a faint smile appeared on her face. "If you don't have anything to do, don't go back with him. Stay here with me for a few days. Third Brother has a yacht that's been sitting at the dock for many years. I'll call and ask about it later. If it's still in good condition, we can take the yacht out to sea for a trip tomorrow."

Lu Fengqing agreed.

As for going to work, to hell with it.

-

As soon as Gu Suixing arrived at Xie Chaowan's courtyard, he was stopped by the servants guarding the gate.

The maid said somewhat awkwardly, "Miss Fourth instructed that no one is allowed to enter."

Gu Suixing glanced into the courtyard, took out his phone, and called Lu Fengqing.

As expected, the woman did not answer.

Gu Suixing called Xie Chaowan again, but Xie Chaowan didn't answer.

However, Xie Chaowan sent another servant out to deliver a message to Gu Suixing.

"Young Master Gu, Miss Lu said she wants Miss Lu to stay here for a few days, so she wants you to go back first. If you're not busy, please remember to have someone send over Miss Lu's change of clothes."

Gu Suixing frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "I understand."

The servant who delivered the message went back.

Gu Suixing stood still.

After a long while, he turned and left.

Without his wife by his side, Gu Suixing had no desire to go back to the company to work overtime, so he called Huo Huai'an out.

"Ancestor, didn't you take your wife to meet the elders? Why did you suddenly have time to think of me?"

As soon as they met, Huo Huai'an teased Gu Suixing.

Gu Suixing said with a sullen face, "Aunt Wan left her at the Xie residence."

"..."

Huo Huai'an glanced at his ancestor's face and almost burst out laughing.

You managed to lose your wife over a meal? You're something else!

Huo Huai'an pulled out a chair and sat down. "Speak, what do you want from me this time?"

He didn't believe that his ancestor had called him out for dinner because he was bored.

Gu Suixing: "I made an appointment with Tang Xingchen."

Huo Huai'an was taken aback. "Didn't you say you wanted to watch those Tang dogs fight? Why did you suddenly decide to get involved?"

Tang Xingchen is Tang Xingzhou's half-brother.

Tang Xingchen and Tang Xingzhou, mother and son, are sworn enemies because their mother was killed by their father's first love.

Tang Xingzhou is on Gu Jingdong's side. If Tang Xingchen can take over the Tang family, Gu Jingdong will lose his biggest supporter, which is a good thing for Gu Suixing.

However, whether or not Tang Xingchen helps makes no difference to this ancestor; it's just a matter of time.

The biggest backer behind this ancestor was never the controlling Gu Jinhong, but Xie's third uncle.

This ancestor's choice to help Tang Xingchen is more like doing charity.

Gu Suixing didn't answer, but simply said, "I'll have Assistant Fang go to the Qin family tomorrow."

The topic had taken a sudden turn, and Huo Huai'an was stunned for a moment before he realized that this ancestor was planning to mess with Deputy Director Qin. He hissed.

Before he could speak, he heard his ancestor instruct again: "Have someone investigate the Tang family and Old Master Tang."

Huo Huai'an: "?"

No. Investigating the Tang family is one thing, but why investigate that old man from the Tang family?
