"The day before yesterday?"
Yue Feiying frowned, looking puzzled:
"Did you meet the day before yesterday?"
"Didn't Shengzhi tell you? He has some friends along the coast who want to do some business. Coincidentally, our family already has businesses there, so he wanted to help connect us and see if there are any suitable opportunities for cooperation. That's why he came to our house twice this week."
Yue Jialiang was a little surprised, but when he mentioned Qi Shengzhi, he couldn't help but want to praise him:
"Yingying, Dad has to praise Shengzhi this time. He's both practical and meticulous. Dad knew as soon as he saw the plan that he must have discussed it with his friends beforehand. The terms in the plan are so generous that I can sign it directly without any hesitation."
"Dad is happy, not because of the money he makes from business, but because he knows Shengzhi would do this because he loves you, so he wants your family to be well too. Seeing that he is willing to do so much for you, Dad feels much more relieved."
Yue Feiying was bewildered when she heard this. Qi Shengzhi had never mentioned this to her.
Seeing Yue Jialiang's touched face, she thought to herself that it was a good thing that Qi Shengzhi didn't know that there was a problem with the Yue family's business, otherwise, given that this bastard was wary of her like a wolf, she would definitely stay as far away from him as possible.
Steward Wang also spoke well of this:
"Son-in-law is so polite. Every time he comes to discuss business with Master, he brings bags of supplements, dry goods, cigarettes, alcohol, and tea... The kitchen at home is almost full, and there are only three of us with so many things..."
Halfway through his words, Butler Wang realized that he had let the cat out of the bag and quickly stopped talking.
He carefully looked at Yue Feiying's expression and found that she didn't seem to notice the loophole in his words, so he quickly changed the subject:
"Every time my son-in-law comes, he has to have dinner with me before leaving, and he always praises the home-cooked food for being delicious!"
"Master, Miss, the dishes are on the table, let's eat and chat!"
Yue Jialiang was really slow-witted. He didn't notice that Butler Wang's words were wrong at all. He happily pulled Yue Feiying to sit at the dining table.
Yue Feiying pretended not to have heard what Butler Wang had let slip—
Now that things have come to this, there is no need to make everyone so embarrassed. She will be able to make money in the future anyway. At worst, she can just invite everyone back then!
However, Qi Shengzhi's actions surprised her a little.
Since the contract terms are so good that we can sign them without even thinking about it, there's no need to go to their home and give them gifts, right?
She even stayed to have dinner with her dad...
What evil plan is this bastard planning?
Could it be that he wanted to cheat her father into giving back the money he had extorted from her?
Yue Feiying made up her mind to go back and talk to Qi Shengzhi first tonight.
When we sat down at the table, we found that there were ten dishes on it: braised lion's head, shrimp with Longjing tea, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, bamboo fungus stewed chicken soup...
Every one of them was her favorite. Yue Feiying praised sincerely:
"I didn't expect Aunt Wang's cooking skills to be so good. I'm in for a treat today!"
Aunt Wang stood aside and smiled embarrassedly. These shrimps and bamboo fungi were the young lady's favorite foods, but they were not available in ordinary vegetable markets. Thanks to the things sent by Master Zhou, which contained many good things, she was able to make this table of dishes that the young lady loved.
"Miss, please try it. If it's delicious, come back often and I'll make it for you!"
Yue Feiying naturally felt her appetite growl at the sight of the delicious dishes on the table, but she and Yue Jialiang were the only ones sitting at the large dining table, while housekeeper Wang and his wife were standing by waiting obediently, which made her feel a little awkward.
She turned to Butler Wang and said:
"Uncle Wang, we're the only ones at home today, and Aunt Wang has cooked so many dishes. Why don't you sit down and eat with us?"
Yue Jialiang also looked helpless:
"This old Wang is just stubborn. I've told him this countless times, but he never listens."
After Yue Feiying got married, there were usually only three of them at home, but Butler Wang still treated Yue Jialiang as the head of the family as always. He would serve him every meal first, and after he finished eating and went back to the kitchen, Butler Wang and his wife would continue to eat.
Yue Jialiang had said the same thing countless times, but Butler Wang was like an old stubborn man, clinging to the rules he had followed for decades and refusing to eat at the same table with Yue Jialiang.
As expected, as soon as the two of them finished speaking, Butler Wang and his wife waved their hands like rattles:
"How can that be? You and the master eat first, and don't worry about us. We will eat later."
But Yue Feiying was obviously not someone as easy to "deal with" as Yue Jialiang. Seeing that Butler Wang and his wife were unwilling to sit down to eat at the same table, she also put down her chopsticks and said sincerely:
"Uncle Wang, Aunt Wang, I call you uncle and aunt, which means that in my heart you and Aunt Wang are my and my father's relatives. It's normal for relatives to eat at the same table. What's wrong with that?"
"Now that I'm married, my dad is the only one left at home. It's too sad for the old man to sit at the table and eat alone. He'll enjoy his meal more if you're with him, right?"
Yue Jialiang nodded repeatedly, and tears welled up in his eyes as he looked at Yue Feiying.
His daughter was thoughtful. Although she was not at home, she was concerned about how lonely he felt when he was eating alone. He felt warm inside.
"Uncle Wang, Aunt Wang, I hope that not only today, but every day from now on, you can accompany my dad and have a meal together like a family. I'm asking you to do me a favor, okay?"
After Yue Feiying finished speaking, she deliberately looked at the housekeeper Wang and his wife with her eyes full of earnestness.
"Ouch, this... this..."
Yue Feiying asked him for help so pitifully that Steward Wang couldn't bear it.
He could understand the young lady's concern for the master being lonely at home, but he had followed these rules for decades, and it was not easy for him to do anything that violated the rules easily. For a moment, he felt torn.
Seeing that he was a little shaken, Yue Feiying didn't give him time to think any more. She stood up and walked into the kitchen, took out two more sets of bowls and chopsticks and placed them on the table. She pulled Aunt Wang over and made her sit on the chair next to her, saying in a half-coquettish, half-threatening tone:
"Okay, Uncle Wang, it's decided. Aunt Wang is already sitting down, so you should sit down too. If you don't eat now, the food will get cold!"
"I haven't eaten anything all day, my stomach hurts!"
When Yue Jialiang heard that Yue Feiying was hungry, he quickly pulled Butler Wang to his side and forced him onto a chair.
"Hurry up, Lao Wang, didn't you hear Yingying is hungry? Sit down and have a meal, it's just a meal, it's not going to cost you your life, why should you think about it for so long, eat, eat!"
At the beginning, the housekeeper Wang and his wife were quite reserved. They didn't even dare to pick up any dishes and just stared at the white rice in the bowl.
But Yue Feiying couldn't help but stop eating. Since they didn't pick up any food, she focused on picking up food for them. So Yue Jialiang stopped eating and focused on picking up food for Yue Feiying. This forced the couple to finally start eating normally.
An ordinary home-cooked meal brought the housekeeper Wang and his wife to tears. They never dreamed that one day they would be able to sit at the same table with the host family to eat. It was like they had really become a family!
