Fu Yuan went along.
***
In the main house of the Chu family, Chu's father, Chu's mother (stepmother), and Chu Fei sat at the head, and Grandpa Chu sat in the main seat.
The living room was set with fruits and snacks. They had prepared everything early in the morning and were waiting for the girls, Ji Momo and Chu Qi, to arrive.
Ji Momo didn't keep anyone waiting for long and arrived around eight o'clock.
Chu Qi, on the other hand, didn't come for a long time. It was not until half past eight that Ji Momo chatted with the Chu family for a long time before Chu Qi hurriedly arrived.
Seeing Chu Qi, Chu's mother wanted to say something sarcastic, but she found that Chu Qi's face looked extremely bad.
His face and forehead were red, his thin lips were pale, and he walked in with unsteady steps.
He smiled weakly and apologized, "Sorry, something happened and I'm late."
Everyone: “…”
How can this be called “a little bit”?
Grandpa Chu's surprised expression changed instantly. The woman came so early, but the man was late. Is this reasonable?
So at least you have to say a few symbolic words, right?
Unexpectedly, Chu Qi did this, and Grandpa Chu was full of blame and was only worried.
"What's wrong? Your face is red. Do you have a high fever?" Chu's mother stood up and went forward to support Chu Qi.
But he dodged without leaving a trace, sat down on the sofa and said with a smile:
"Ahem... I'm fine. I accidentally caught a cold these days, ahem... so I got up late. Sorry."
In a corner where no one was paying attention, her shadow floated slightly.
A faint red robe was surging inside.
The red eyes, filled with a hint of resentment, looked towards the only old man present.
It was him who invited Chu Qi back to meet some girl...
Black-hearted...
"It's amazing that you can still catch a cold in the summer."
Chu Fei muttered, thinking he was speaking quietly, but it was so quiet at the moment that you could almost hear a pin drop.
His words were all heard.
Chu's mother didn't seem embarrassed by being rejected, and sat back leisurely.
She adjusted her hair, and curled her lips slightly, saying charmingly: "Xiao Fei, don't talk nonsense, maybe your brother has a bad physique."
"Ahem." Grandpa Chu coughed softly, and then introduced Chu Qi and Ji Momo respectively.
Ji Momo extended her hand to Chu Qi: "Hello, it's our first meeting. Please take care of me."
Chu Qi was about to reach out her hand when suddenly a cold touch surged over her body.
Fu Yuan, dressed in red, climbed onto Chu Qi's back, her black hair stretched out and wrapped around Chu Qi's fingers.
The black hair wrapped around Chu Qi's skin, and she held Ji Momo's hand. The touch was not too much, it was just a normal courtesy handshake.
They touched for just a second and then separated.
The cool air from the air conditioner plus the chill from the red-clothed female ghost, the two kinds of cold air invaded Chu Qi's feverish and hot body, making it feel a little cold.
Ji Momo only felt that what she touched was a piece of ice, which spread from the point of contact to her arm.
She frowned slightly.
My impression of Chu Qi was not good to begin with, and now it’s even worse.
She just returned to China not long ago and doesn't know much about the domestic situation.
But because she wanted to get to know Chu Qi, the old man recommended Chu Qi's private account to her.
The circle of friends is full of extravagant and luxurious things, and with Chu Fei's exaggeration, it would be strange for Ji Momo to have a good impression of Chu Qi.
And now it is so hot in the daytime, the evil spirit...
Ji Momo no longer had any desire to be friends with Chu Qi.
In the following conversation, Ji Momo's smile turned into a commercial smile.
Half a day later, Ji Momo found an excuse to leave.
Grandpa Chu is an old and experienced man, so he can see that Ji Momo dislikes his eldest grandson.
But fortunately, it was just an introduction, so Grandpa Chu didn’t feel very sorry when the introduction failed.
He took a sip of the strong tea and looked at Chu Qi with a smile:
"Xiao Qi, when are you going to bring a girlfriend home? Twenty-three is not young anymore.
Next year I will be twenty-four, and the year after I will be twenty-six.
Have a baby soon, grandpa is old and wants to hold his grandchildren now. "
Chu Qi held a cup of hot tea to warm her hands. The woman in red, who was invisible to everyone, lay on Chu Qi's shoulders, looking at everyone with curiosity.
Fu Yuan felt that Chu's mother and Chu Fei were very malicious towards her boyfriend.
It seems that the punishment last time was not enough?
She left a strand of hair on Chu Fei. Logically, Chu Tian should have nightmares every night that lasted for a long time.
But now, the hair she left on Chu Fei disappeared for some reason.
Is there someone helping you secretly?
She was in deep thought.
Chu Qi hesitated and said, "I do have a girlfriend, but she may not be able to have children."
Hmm...is there reproductive isolation between humans and ghosts?
Chu Qi wasn't sure, but Fu Yuan was no different from a normal woman. Except for being a little cold, she had all the normal feelings.
Grandpa Chu said with interest: "You have a girlfriend, why don't you bring her home to show us."
Chu Qi took a sip of tea and still hesitated: "I have to go back and ask her opinion on this."
"Okay, you must bring me home to meet her someday. You are not a kid anymore, so stop playing around. Get married when it's time. Don't be like your dad, spreading your seeds everywhere."
Grandpa Chu glanced at Father Chu with a look that was full of targeting intent.
When he was young, he was a romantic man and once he fell in love, it would last a lifetime.
He had been in love with his wife for a lifetime, and at the end of his life his wife held his hand and said that they would be together in the next life.
After his wife passed away, Grandpa Chu remained chaste and never remarried.
He racked his brains but couldn't understand why he and his wife, who were so upright in their values, gave birth to a fickle man like Chu Yun?
He had an affair while his wife was pregnant and gave birth to an illegitimate child.
Grandpa Chu was extremely ashamed and he couldn't like the mother and son anymore.
If the daughter-in-law had not died of illness, the mistress would not have been able to enter this family.
Grandpa Chu is old.
Even if his son is behaving like a jerk, he is still his son, and Grandpa Chu is too lazy to care about his personal affairs.
So when Chu Qi decided to move out of the main house, Grandpa Chu did not stop her.
He would also give Chu Qi extra living expenses every month, for fear that his eldest grandson would be wronged outside.
The old man's straightforward words made Chu's father embarrassed. He lowered his head unnaturally but did not dare to refute.
It was his father who said this.
Even if he is scolded, he has to bear it. It would be bad if he retorted and made his father so angry that he was sent to the hospital.
Mother Chu's face turned pale and blue, and her eyes turned red with grievance.
Chu Fei couldn't hold it anymore. He had never received fair love from his grandfather.
Now he is belittling him in front of Chu Qi, which is simply tearing off his face and throwing it on the ground to step on it.
"Yes, once she agrees, I will bring people back to see you." Chu Qi smiled lightly, covering her mouth and nose and coughing lightly.
Seeing that Chu Qi was in a really bad condition, Grandpa Chu waved his hand and told someone to go to the hospital immediately.
Chu Qi nodded and left.
This family gathering came to an end.
Back in his study, Chu Fei was so angry that he picked up the expensive vase that decorated the table in his hand and wanted to smash it to vent his anger.
