Chapter 833: Master of Ordinary Studies, Fourth Sister Exposed (Two Updates Combined into One)
When the old man heard this, he immediately stood on tiptoe and looked up: "Where? Where?"
Han Shen pointed it out to him.
I saw the international train arriving at Exit 3. Jiang Fuyue and Xie Dingyuan were walking side by side. She was saying something, and the man listened attentively, nodding his head in agreement from time to time.
Since they did not inform us in advance that they would come to pick us up, the two of them did not pay attention to looking around when they came out.
Suddenly, Jiang Fuyue said something, but Xie Dingyuan couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth. He naturally and intimately put one hand around the girl's slender waist, and put his big palm on her waist. His fingers gently stroked it twice through the thin fabric.
Suddenly, the eyes of the four great Vajras of the Han family were wide open.
"Woof woof woof——" Xiao Mang barked even more violently.
Want to bite!
Jiang Fuyue heard the dog barking and subconsciously looked up. At this moment, Han Ke also spoke: "Yueyue——"
Jiang Fuyue paused, her eyes showing surprise: "Second uncle!"
Then, the old man, Han Shen, and Han Heng, who was fully armed and wearing a mask, all came over.
"Cough!" The old man, leaning on a cane, coughed heavily, and his old eyes fell on Jiang Fuyue's waist as if carrying substantial weight.
Xie Dingyuan realized it later and withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted.
Han Qishan's expression brightened up: "Nannan, you must have had a hard time along the way. Your face has become thinner..."
Han Shen consciously took Jiang Fuyue's suitcase from Xie Dingyuan.
Han Ke stepped in between them, separating them. "While you were away, Xiao Mang would lie down outside your room every day, eagerly waiting for you to come back. He even stopped eating snacks."
Han Heng quickly moved to the other side and continued with a smile, "That's right. He used to love taking walks, but now he doesn't come even after being called three or five times. He even whines and grumbles, and doesn't even pay attention to Xiao Ting."
Soon, the two uncles stood on the left and right, the old man stood in front, and Han Shen waited at the back with the suitcase. Jiang Fuyue was surrounded by tight defenses.
Xie Dingyuan: “…”
Han Qishan gave his two sons a look that said "well done" and then said lovingly, "Nannan, I asked Xiao Liu to prepare a large table of dishes that are all your favorites. Let's go home!"
"Yes, it smells really good. I was already craving it when I went out." Han Heng nodded.
"There is also soup. It was cooked last night." Han Ke also said.
As they were talking, they were about to take her out. Jiang Fuyue had just raised her foot when she suddenly remembered something and pulled it back. She smiled sweetly at her two uncles and said, "I'll wait a moment. It'll be quick!"
After saying that, he walked around the two of them and went straight to Xie Dingyuan. He reached out and hugged him first, then quickly stepped away: "Then I'll go back first?"
Xie Dingyuan wanted to reach out and touch her face, but under the warning gazes of the four men from the Han family, he finally gave up the idea and just said, "Okay."
Jiang Fuyue moved her lips, but no sound came out.
What she said was: Wait for my call.
The man nodded with a smile, stood there and watched them leave.
Soon, he got into a black car and was picked up.
"Professor, where are you going?" asked the driver.
"Let's go back to the old house."
…
Han family.
"The young lady is back!" Mrs. Liu heard the door open and ran out of the kitchen happily.
When he saw Jiang Fuyue and his group, he couldn't stop smiling, then immediately turned around and went back inside to start preparing to serve the dishes.
Ten minutes later, the family sat around the table.
The entire table was filled with dishes, a combination of meat and vegetables, with good color, aroma and taste.
"Yueyue, have some sweet and sour pork ribs."
"And these cola chicken wings are also delicious."
"The soup is the real kick. Oh, and there's also a bowl of bird's nest. Madam Liu, could you please bring it over..."
"Hey! It'll be ready soon!"
"Sister Yue, you can't pick this up, let me help you, hehe!"
“…”
Jiang Fuyue became the focus of the dinner table. From the old man to her three uncles, and then to the youngest Han Ting, everyone rushed to serve her food.
Even Xiao Mang, who was chewing a big bone in the living room, didn't forget to bring one to her.
Jiang Fuyue: “…” Hiccup!
It is inevitable to eat too much, but it is hard to refuse such a kind invitation, so I can only walk a few more steps after the meal to help digest the food.
The old man quickly picked up his cane and said, "I'm going too! Together!"
Seeing this, Han Ting immediately put a leash on Xiao Mang and said, "Well... it's time to take the dog for a walk."
Han Heng raised his hand: "I want to go too!"
In the end, Jiang Fuyue’s solo walk turned into a family party on the street, oh no, it should be a party in the community.
"Hey, Old Han! This is your granddaughter Jiang Fuyue, right? She's much prettier than on TV!"
Han Qishan immediately waved his hands: "No, no."
"She's tall and thin, and she's pretty. How come your Han family is always full of handsome men and beautiful women?"
Han Qishan immediately responded, "You're really too kind! How can it be so exaggerated? The third child isn't very good-looking. He relies on makeup to look good on camera."
Billionaire movie star Han Heng: “?” Dad, are you serious?
An old lady passing by: “?” Are you sure you’re not being pretentious?
Another neighbor came over and said, "Wow, Mr. Han is so lucky! Are you going out with your whole family?"
Han Qishan: "No, my granddaughter returned home and insisted on taking a walk with me. She also said something like "take a hundred steps after a meal and live to be ninety-nine". You say... this is really thoughtful!"
Jiang Fuyue: “?” Didn’t you insist on staying with me?
Han Shen, Han Ke, Han Heng: Your granddaughter walks with you? So we are air?
The neighbor said with envy: "You are a good teacher. My little ones just sit on the sofa and play with their phones after dinner. They don't pay any attention to you at all. Who would accompany them for a walk?"
Han Qishan spoke a few words of comfort earnestly, and if it weren't for the corners of his mouth that almost stretched to the back of his head, it might have been more convincing and empathetic.
The neighbor curled his lips and walked away with envy and jealousy.
Han Qishan smiled and greeted the next neighbor who came to greet him: "Oh, yes... It's Yueyue... It's not a big award, just the Lasker Basic Medical Research Award... What Nobel Prize indicator? There's no sign of it yet... The child is still young, why does he need so many honors? It becomes a burden..."
"It's true that he works hard, and he has some talent too... Even though God provides for his livelihood, it's still hard work... We elders have worked hard for most of our lives, because we don't want the next generation or the next generation to suffer too much, but this kid says he doesn't want anyone to pave the way for him, he insists on making his own way..."
"I originally said I'd let her go and let her bang her head against the wall and get a bloody nose, but I didn't expect her to find a bright future. Ugh, isn't this infuriating?"
Neighbor: “…” I don’t know whether your granddaughter is annoying or not, but you are really annoying!
Thanks to Han Qishan’s recent circle of friends, all the neighbors in the villa community who know him and have added him on WeChat know Jiang Fuyue.
As he walked along, he was humble (understated) and boastful (boastful) all the way, and the smile on the old man's face was about to fly out of the sky.
Han Ke took two steps behind and asked quietly, "Third brother, when you won the Oscar, did our father praise you like this?"
Han Heng's face darkened. "Come on, the character I won the award for was a murderer. Do you know what he said to his old friends?"
"say what?"
"He said - he acted so convincingly, maybe he really has a dark side. I'm going to find him a psychiatrist when I get home. He can win awards for all sorts of nonsense. The Oscars are so low-brow."
The key point is! After he came back, Han Qishan actually found him a psychiatrist!
After a series of tests, we confirmed his mental health before agreeing to let him go home.
Han Ke: "...You have suffered, brother."
Han Heng glanced at the old man in front of him who was chatting and laughing with someone, and couldn't help but curl his lips and snort: "Look at that old man's arrogant look. To be honest, he really deserves a beating."
Han Ke looked at it for two seconds and said, "Well, a little bit."
After this trip, Jiang Fuyue was so embarrassed that he had dug out a square city, but the old man was still not satisfied.
"Why are all these people leaving? I haven't finished talking yet..."
Forehead!
Jiang Fuyue: "Then let's go back too, it's getting dark."
Han Qishan nodded and said yes, while still thinking to himself, suddenly -
"Ah! I get it, they're feeling jealous! They must be secretly jealous of me!"
“…”
At the same time, at the Xie family’s old house.
Like Jiang Fuyue, Xie Dingyuan's return home was received with an unexpectedly warm welcome.
Not only was there a large table of delicious food waiting for me as soon as I entered the door, but seven sisters also surrounded me.
"Ayuan, are you tired?"
"Didn't you eat well abroad?"
"Do you want to go upstairs and change your clothes before coming down?"
"It's okay, we're not hungry, we'll just wait for you."
"The environment around the Pierre Hotel isn't great. It's noisy. I guess I didn't get enough rest. I have obvious dark circles under my eyes..."
"Let's have some tea first. It's freshly brewed and the temperature is just right."
Xie Dingyuan: “…”
After finally finishing his meal, Xie Dingyuan didn't plan to stay in the living room any longer. He was about to go upstairs to take shelter when suddenly -
"Ayuan, I received the gifts you sent back." Xie Yunzao spoke. "I like both the lipstick and the scarf very much. Thank you."
"Well, as long as you like it."
Xie Yunxiang: "It's rare that Xiaojiu is so thoughtful. He even brought us gifts when he went abroad."
"Exactly! Xiaojiu didn't have this habit before, why is he so thoughtful this time?"
"Third sister, you don't know this, do you?" Xie Yunxuan's eyes were teasing, and he deliberately stretched out his tone, with a hint of ridicule, "Our Xiaojiu is no longer the same as before."
"Oh? What's the difference?" Xie Yunmiao continued with a smile.
Xie Yunxuan: "You were all alone before, but now that you have a girlfriend, you're naturally much more considerate and thoughtful. Don't you think so, Xiaojiu?"
There was a hint of smile at the corners of Xie Dingyuan's eyes, and his expression finally seemed no longer rigid and serious as it had been for thousands of years.
"Well, she picked it with me."
"Oh, Xiaojiu is blushing!"
"Our big iceberg has finally learned to be shy. It's really not easy!"
"If you ask me, Yueyue is really capable. She melted the iceberg."
"Really? How could the girl our Xiaojiu likes be simple?"
The sisters were chatting with each other, and there was a lot of joking between them.
For a moment, the huge living room was filled with laughter.
The old lady said: "Yueyue is very thoughtful. Those musk and ambergris are of excellent quality and cannot be bought in China."
Upon hearing this, the old man couldn't help but nod, still twirling the pair of collectible walnuts in his hands: "This dull-pointed lion is so well-made, it really makes those old guys greedy!"
"Huh? Mom and Dad, the gifts you received are different from ours?"
The old lady said: "Of course they are different. Mine is spices and your father's is walnuts."
"Xiaojiu, you guys are being partial to one and neglecting the other." Xie Yunlan said jokingly.
Before Xie Dingyuan could speak, Fu Wanxiu couldn't help but speak up for her son and future daughter-in-law: "Of course they have to be distinguished. Can your father and I be the same as you?"
My parents and my sister have different identities, so it would be abnormal to give them the same gifts.
"Look at our mother, she's protecting us now."
"We have to understand the old lady's feelings now. She has been looking forward to it for so many years, and finally saw the shadow of her daughter-in-law. Of course she wants to grab her. Otherwise, if she misses this opportunity, she will miss it forever. You know how picky Xiaojiu is."
"Heh!" A sneer suddenly appeared, and the originally harmonious atmosphere froze for a moment.
Xie Yunshu, however, acted oblivious. She was truly unable to endure this any longer. "Second sister, third sister, don't underestimate the Xie family. What do you mean by once you've missed the opportunity, you'll never get it again? With Xiaojiu's qualifications, can't she find someone better than Jiang Fuyue? You're really praising her too much!"
Xie Yunxiang was stunned. "Old Four, what nonsense are you talking about? We're all happily chatting, why do you have to spoil the fun like this?"
Xie Yunshu: "I'm not trying to spoil the fun, I just can't stand you all lowering yourselves to flatter outsiders."
Xie Yunlan frowned: "How can we call Xiaojiu's girlfriend an outsider? Besides, when did we ever lower ourselves? Which of our words are not true?"
This argument made the atmosphere in the living room gradually solemn, and the smiles on other people's faces gradually faded.
Xie Yunxuan frowned, "Fourth sister, you're acting so strangely today. You haven't spoken a word since Xiaojiu came in, and now you're embarrassing everyone by talking. What's wrong?"
Xie Yunmiao couldn't help but cast a puzzled look at her.
Looking at the old man and the old lady, they also didn’t understand.
Xie Yunshu jumped up from the sofa and asked, "What's going on now? Are they teaming up to target me alone?"
Xie Yunzao spoke up: "I'm not targeting you, it's just that what you said was too outrageous."
"Outrageous?" Xie Yunshu sneered, "How is it outrageous? Isn't what I said the truth?"
Xie Yunzao frowned: "Old Four, why are you so angry? Weren't we all so happy just now?"
"You are the ones who are happy. I have never been happy."
"you--"
"Alright," the old lady reacted, interrupting the sisters' argument. She looked up at Xie Yunshu and said, "Fourth Sister, tell me what you think. You've been holding it in for quite a while. Speak it all out in front of Little Nine today and make it clear!"
"Okay, since you asked me to speak, I'll say it. I don't think Jiang Fuyue is suitable for A Yuan."
After these words came out, Xie Dingyuan raised his eyes coldly, "Fourth sister, think it through before you speak."
Xie Yunshu pursed her lips and showed hesitation in her eyes. From A Yuan's tone, it seemed that he was not very happy, but he was always serious, so it seemed that his cold face was not because of Jiang Fuyue.
This fleeting thought gave her courage again: "Xiaojiu, my original intention is not to interfere with your love life, I just want to remind you that you can have a relationship, but you also have to consider the person."
"So what do you think is wrong with Jiang Fuyue, Fourth Sister?" Her tone was usually rational and steady, but if you paid attention, you could detect the hidden indifference and aloofness in it.
Obviously, the old lady noticed, and to prevent the siblings from falling out, she tried to stop Xie Yunshu: "Fourth Brother! You're already in your forties, why can't you change your impulsive personality? Some words, once spoken, can't be taken back!"
However, Xie Yunshu did not understand the warning at all. She just felt that the old lady was blaming her in order to protect Jiang Fuyue, which made her even more indignant.
When you are angry, what else can you not say?
"There are so many things wrong with Jiang Fuyue! First of all, her family background is not suitable for you. Although she is the granddaughter of the Han family, she is just a granddaughter. Her father runs a restaurant and I heard he used to sell pancakes."
"Secondly, it's her personality. I'm not saying her drive and ambition are bad. On the contrary, as an independent woman, she deserves recognition and praise. But people with this kind of personality often have big ideas and are too opinionated. It's hard for them to be obedient and submissive, and they simply can't quietly take care of your daily life."
"Finally, and most importantly, she's too indifferent to you. She doesn't like you as much as you like her. In a relationship like this, she always has the upper hand. It's fine for a short time, but if it lasts a long time, you'll get very tired."
"That's obvious from the gifts she picked for you. For your parents, she catered to their preferences, but for us sisters, she was just perfunctory—the same shade of lipstick, the same patterned silk scarves. Are they doing wholesale?"
"This one incident alone is enough to prove that she doesn't value us, you, and the Xie family enough. Besides that, it also reveals her utilitarianism and scheming..."
You can try your best to please your boyfriend's parents, but he doesn't care about his sister.
The goal is clear, and the dishes are served according to the conditions. If this is not utilitarianism, what is it?
Finally, Xie Yunshu took a deep breath and spoke earnestly to Xie Dingyuan, "I've been through this before, and I won't hurt you. You might not feel it at first, but life isn't a fairy tale, and love isn't as beautiful as you think. Over time, when you grow tired of each other, you'll realize that no matter how deep your love is, it's useless. Compatibility is what matters most."
"Fourth sister, are you done?" He slowly raised his eyes, expressionless.
Xie Yunshu thought for a moment and said, "That's about right. Oh, by the way, there are so many good girls in the world, not just Jiang Fuyue."
"Anything else?"
Forehead!
“…Not for now.”
"Okay," Xie Dingyuan looked at her, his eyes instantly becoming deep and cold, without any fluctuations in them, "Now it's my turn to ask Fourth Sister."
Xie Yunshu's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly had a bad feeling: "What... do you want to ask?"
The other sisters present also had different expressions, but they all pricked up their ears at the same time.
"Do you know Jiang Fuyue? Have you ever met her or spoken to her?"
"……No."
"Since there is no such thing, what right do you have to judge her based on your own assumptions?"
"I--" Xie Yunshu was about to explain herself, but Xie Dingyuan interrupted her directly.
"One last question. Did you ask Xie Yunqian to contact me?"
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
Xie Yunshu was stunned.
The old lady gasped.
