Chapter 283 Sister-in-law is well-informed
Tu Suminfei walked over here calmly, his face as calm as water. He lightly picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and then said in a calm tone: "Are you so impatient?"
Cheng Jingen immediately raised his index finger and gently shook it in the air: "No, I'm just full of doubts."
"Are you surprised? Tu Subo has always been arrogant, and all the beauties he sees are just passing clouds. Yet, he is willing to devote himself to his wife and be submissive to her. Such bizarre behavior is really surprising."
Tu Suminfei couldn't help but laugh after hearing his endless stream of words. He gently twirled the teacup with his fingers and said slowly, "What's so strange about this?"
Cheng Jingen asked doubtfully: "Oh?"
"If you meet my eldest sister-in-law, you will understand that it is not surprising that Tu Subo turned into spring water for her."
Cheng Jingen was becoming more and more itchy and curious.
He leaned closer and said in a low voice, "It's widely rumored that the Gu family is full of beautiful women. Our eldest sister-in-law must also be breathtakingly beautiful, like a fairy descending to earth?"
Tu Suminfei raised his eyes impatiently and looked at him: "In that remote Yuanqian Village, even if you have a peerless beauty, how can you fill your stomach?"
Cheng Jingen thought about it for a moment and felt that it made sense.
The Tu Su family is on the decline, and her peerless beauty at this time will not only bring no benefits, but may even bring disaster upon herself.
So, what is it for?
Tu Su Minfei didn't want to waste any more words. He sneered, leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.
In difficult situations, yet resilient.
Who wouldn't be moved by a woman like that once you win her favor?
Tu Subo fell in love with her at first sight and was completely captivated by her...
Cheng Jing'en, who had been waiting for a long time, finally saw a familiar figure. Although he was extremely anxious and the wait seemed to last for years, he pretended to be relaxed at this moment and even wanted to find a corner to leisurely put his feet up.
However, Tu Su Minfei, who had been sitting quietly, unexpectedly stood up on his own initiative.
Seeing this, Cheng Jingen narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of depth flashed in his eyes.
Tu Su Minfei appears to be gentle and amiable on the surface, but in fact he is arrogant and just as proud as Tu Subo. It is difficult for ordinary people to win his favor.
This person was actually willing to stand up and act like a respectful cousin to greet him. So, how important was Tu Subo's wife?
Cheng Jing'en also lost interest in sitting down. He casually rested his arm on the counter. As his eyes wandered, he caught a glimpse of Tu Subo leading a woman wearing a light veil in. He immediately suppressed the frivolous look on his face and said with a smile, "Here he comes."
"Um."
Tu Subo responded and took off the gauze hat on Gu Yuexuan's head.
Tu Suminfei respectfully addressed her as "Sister-in-law."
Gu Yuexuan was slightly surprised, but her eyes turned, she smiled brightly, and said in a clear voice: "If I had known you were here, I would have brought the things for Second Aunt."
Tu Su Minfei had returned home in a hurry, and some of Yu's things were not yet prepared. Recently, she had been muttering, wondering when he would return.
Tu Suminfei smiled and said, "No hurry, I'll be back in a few days."
"Sister-in-law, please sit down and talk."
After Tu Suminfei finished speaking, he picked up the cup and prepared to pour tea. He also changed to a new teapot and boiled water to make tea. Tu Subo was not surprised by this. Cheng Jingen couldn't help but admire it and said with a smile: "It's an honor to meet my sister-in-law."
"Xuanxuan, this is the Cheng Jingen I told you about. Just call him Cheng San."
Tu Subo looked around the store, frowning, and said unhappily, "Is this the place you said is ready?"
The shop is small and is located on the back side of the busiest street in the county. Although it is quiet, there are few pedestrians around, making it look a bit depressed. It is hard to believe that business here can be so prosperous.
The store was completely empty, with nothing visible.
Aside from a half-person-high counter near the entrance, there were two simple small tables and a few stools, all covered in traces of age and stained with suspicious oil. Perhaps the cleanest of these was Cheng Jingen's delicate face and the exquisite teapot in Tu Su Minfei's hand.
Cheng Jing'en's words were full of confidence, as if everything was under control. Tu Subo had originally wanted to bring the depressed Gu Yuexuan here to add some joy and comfort her.
Who knew that when he arrived at the scene, he would witness such a scene?
How dare you use this simple little shop to deceive people?
Cheng Jing'en, with her mischievous nature, ignored his displeasure. She gently waved the folding fan in her hand, narrowed her eyes cunningly, and chuckled softly, "Why, are you dissatisfied?"
Tu Subo glanced at him coldly: "You still expect me to praise a place like this?"
Feeling the tension in the atmosphere, Gu Yuexuan was a little confused. Not quite sure how Tu Subo and Cheng Jingen usually interacted with each other, she quietly tugged at the corner of Tu Subo's clothes: "Tu Subo."
Tu Subo turned his head, his eyes softened: "What's wrong?"
Gu Yuexuan whispered softly: "Don't be angry, doesn't Second Aunt always say that starting a business starts with small details, and being anxious is useless."
"And I think this place has its advantages. Although it's a bit remote, the shops are facing the street, and the front is spacious, making it convenient for carriages and horses to pass through. Considering the transportation of heavy items like grain, if the grain carts were parked directly in front of the door, it would be more convenient to move them."
Her words were intended to ease the atmosphere, but they also reflected her true feelings.
If it weren't for the narrow store that couldn't hold too many goods, the geographical location here would indeed be extremely convenient and could be called a prime location.
Tu Subo listened patiently without showing any emotion on his face, but for some reason, people felt that he was in a much better mood, as if a spring breeze was blowing on his face and drizzle was moistening his heart, instantly dispelling the haze in his heart.
Cheng Jing'en gently waved the fan in his hand and never said a word, but he keenly captured the subtle changes in Tu Subo's emotions. He couldn't help but slightly curl up the corners of his mouth and secretly sighed in his heart: It's really interesting.
He coughed lightly, rolled his eyes at Tu Subo, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Look, I said you are ignorant and incompetent. How can you compare with my sister-in-law's broad knowledge?"
"Sister-in-law, please take a seat. I'll go prepare two plates of exquisite snacks. We can enjoy them while chatting."
Cheng Jing'en was quite cold towards Tu Subo, but was unusually gentle and polite towards Gu Yuexuan.
Gu Yuexuan felt embarrassed and didn't want to make others work hard, but at the same time she felt that they didn't have enough manpower. After Cheng Jingen left, she whispered to Tu Subo: "Don't be too harsh."
"Our family didn't contribute any money, so it's great to be able to enjoy such treatment."
She seemed exceptionally content.
Tu Subo finally couldn't suppress his inner impulse, he gently squeezed her palm, smiled softly, his eyes full of doting.
Tu Suminfei gently placed the tea next to Gu Yuexuan. When it reached Tu Subo, he simply put the teapot down coldly with an extremely indifferent attitude: "Pour it yourself."
