Zhou Jiao waited for them to leave and then curled up in a chair to rest. Although she didn't have to work, she was still very tired, especially mentally.

"Aunt, since Ping'an is getting married, do you want to go back to your hometown to hold the wedding banquet?"

Listen again...

Zhou Jiao really regretted letting her son bring his girlfriend over today. For some reason, Mai Sui was just trying to join in the fun. At the dinner table, he even asked about his past relationships without restraint.

What if her son wasn't sure about a partner and was just coming to the elders' house to check things out? Being a bit active was fine; her family was very active on May Day, but if it was a bit excessive, it would become a fool's errand.

She had been busy trying to change the subject for the whole day, worried that the girl would get irritated by the teasing. Although the Qu family's status was not as high as hers, they were not an ordinary family either.

She now began to wonder whether the wheat ears she had always been optimistic about had grown crooked, or whether her temperament had been let loose without any setbacks in the capital.

"My brother is still early."

Mai Sui rolled his eyes at Wuyi in dissatisfaction, "You're about to go abroad, how would you know?"

"So it's still early. I have to have time to come back for the wedding later. I just went there and it will take me at least half a year before I can come back."

Wuyi changed the subject and saw Xiaojiu pour a glass of water and handed it to his mother, and gave her an appreciative smile.

"Liuyi, everything is safe, how about you and Xiaotangtang?"

Liuyi frowned, "Second sister, aren't you tired?"

"Are you shy?"

Liuyi stood up after hearing this and said, "Mom, I'm going to lie down for a while."

"Go ahead."

Mai Sui blinked and looked at Zhou Jiao in surprise, "Aunt, is Liuyi really angry? No way, it was just a joke."

Zhou Jiao sighed secretly and smiled at her. She was too lazy to talk nonsense. She would never say anything bad about her son, and she didn't want to give him any more advice.

With someone like her, within a year of starting work, someone would definitely call her a good girl. As an aunt, it wouldn't be appropriate to say too much or too little.

Especially in front of Wuyi and Xiaojiu.

Just because she didn't say anything didn't mean Wuyi wouldn't say anything: "My little brother isn't that petty. But you're still awesome. The last guy who teased him got slapped in the face by him."

"ah?"

Wuyi smiled meaningfully, "Strange? What's so strange about this? That guy got beaten up and still had to apologize to my brother with a gloomy face.

Who does he think he is? He's just a lousy director, with no self-awareness at all. He doesn't even look at who my grandfather is, or who my parents are.

How dare you make fun of my little brother? Is he worthy? There really is no such fool in the Forbidden City. It is said that the guy was sent back to his hometown by his father, but I don’t know whether it is true or not.

Wuyi didn't mind letting her have a deeper impression of what power is. Although it was a bit exaggerated, without scaring them, these people really couldn't understand his intentions.

I thought that when his grandfather came back last night, so many guards checked one by one, and this commotion would make them understand a little bit what class is.

What a pity. I don’t know if it was his uncle who gave them the confidence, or if they just haven’t learned to be good. They are jumping around today. Shouldn’t they say goodbye and go back?

After saying that, Wuyi didn't bother to look at Mai Sui's expression and looked at Zhou Jiao, "Mom, everyone is having lunch, why don't you go back to your yard and take a nap?"

"No. I'll just chat with you for a while. Once you leave, our family will go back to the compound, and it will be deserted."

They are indeed mother and son.

Wuyi echoed her words, his tone tinged with complaint, "That's why being in a high position means you have no freedom. Now even Aunt Xiaohui doesn't like to come to our house. Who can stand being checked at the front door?"

"There's nothing we can do. These are the rules and regulations. Our family is different after all. Now even if your father wants to go back to his hometown, he won't dare to act rashly."

Wu Yiyi slapped his head and said, "Oh, right, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten. My dad's secretary must be assigned a guard. I heard from my buddy that he made his subordinates afraid to hire extra guards now."

"Okay, I'll remind him later."

"Forget it, you take a rest first, I'll go find my dad. It's the middle of the day, I wonder how many fish he and my grandfather have caught."

"Can you find it?"

"It's easy. The guard next to me is my father, so I won't be too conspicuous." Wuyi stood up and said, "Second sister, Xiaojiu, are you guys going?"

Mai Sui, who was stunned by the words, shook his head and then nodded, "Okay, I'll go with you. Aunt, you rest first."

"Okay, be careful and remember to bring an umbrella."

After leaving the house, Mai Sui hesitated for a moment after reflecting for a long time. He looked at Wuyi and sighed, "Wuyi, I'm worried that this distinguished guest's first visit will be a flop."

"It's okay." Wuyi replied casually, sighing secretly. He believed that her original intention was good.

But it's a dull moment?

In their circle, when accompanying elders to a party, who dares to chatter endlessly? Although it has not reached the point of not talking while eating or sleeping, etiquette should always be maintained.

All I can say is that everyone is in a different environment and is not suitable for close friendship.

"But I see Liuyi is really angry. I wonder if Ping'an is angry too?" Mai Sui slapped his mouth. "I should have kept my mouth shut."

Wuyi found himself speechless. How should he respond? Should he tell her to stop talking? But she was so kind, she just didn't see her true identity and actually thought she was her sister-in-law.

He said it was okay and his brother wouldn't get angry just because of a joke.

But after answering this question, he was worried that his cousin would be slapped in the face in the future. Being straightforward is good, but talking too much will lead to mistakes. Not everyone will spoil you.

"You're the best. Those two guys are really hard to please."

Wuyi laughed and shook his head. His cousin was quite straightforward! But it was because she treated the three brothers sincerely that some things were more difficult to handle.

He guessed his father had the same attitude towards the people back home. If he said something light, they wouldn't understand; if he said something serious, he would hurt others and still feel guilty.

Wuyi glanced at her and asked, "Second sister, how are you getting along with your colleagues at work recently?"

"That's all."

"How many people do you have that you can talk to?"

"Not many. I'm busy every day."

Wuyi curled his lips and said, "I mean, you can say whatever you want at work?"

"Of course not! If you like someone, just say a few more words. If you don't like someone, why bother paying attention to them?"

"But I've always heard your nickname is Red Pepper. Look, you've even taken away Grandma Zhao's elegant nickname. Second sister, let me warn you, there are more and more families here who are very particular about rules. You need to control your temper..."

Halfway through his words, Wuyi finally swallowed the rest of his words: If you are too frank and get punished, no matter whether it is reasonable or not, my family will not be willing to interfere.

"Oh... change it."

Xiaojiu tugged at the corner of Wuyi's clothes imperceptibly and quickened his pace. "Don't you see she's almost thirty years old, and she's your cousin from another room. If you say anything harsh, she'll definitely hold a grudge against you."

Ping'an glanced at her with amusement and gave up his plan to brainwash Mai Sui. Didn't he see that the ugly girl knew etiquette? It was really not his turn to give instructions to such a grown-up sister.
