Xu Xiu rushed to the hotel as soon as he returned to Shixian County.
The food and drinks were all decided, and then we chose a private room.
Looking at the list sent by my grandfather, I suddenly realized how wonderful it was to have two secretaries in my past life. It seems I really need to find a secretary myself.
Work-related matters are one thing, but the trivial matters in life are even more energy-consuming than work. I need to talk to Bai Yushu about this after the New Year.
After finishing everything, I went home and reported to my "boss," then took a whole bunch of stuff to Hanhan's house.
Upon entering, Xiao Liang was incredibly polite, and Xu Xiu felt as if he had a misconception that this was actually his grandfather.
Xiao Liang's complexion is much better than before. He has no worries and his eating and living habits have returned to normal. He has regular check-ups and recuperation and feels much younger.
Xiao Ruoyan pulled Xu Xiu into the room and showed him her design drafts. She had been on holiday at home for the past few days and had designed a lot of clothes. Many of the company's event pages were also designed by Hanhan.
Bai Yushu and Gu Xin's high praise for their future boss's wife was definitely not flattery.
Xiao Ruoyan is currently in charge of the design at the company, with other designers assisting her. Don't let her being a bit slow-witted and not having graduated yet fool you.
Design is all about talent and inspiration. As long as she can create a rough draft, the rest of the work can be left to other designers.
Xiao Ruoyan is also constantly working hard to improve herself. She had made up her mind before that she did not want to be a useless vase.
Instead, he wanted to assist Xu Xiu and become his right-hand man.
Seeing how hard Hanhan was working, Xu Xiu felt embarrassed to slack off. What if the business went bankrupt? How could he face his family and friends in Jiangdong?
The two talked about everything from clothing design to the company's future development, from work to life, and from life to the future.
The door wasn't closed, and we weren't going to do anything wrong; we could just have a frank and open discussion about life.
Xiao Liang had been listening in the living room the whole time, deliberately turning the TV volume down, and his smile never stopped. It was unclear whether the TV show was good or...
Xu Xiu stayed at the Xiao family's house for dinner that evening, and then took out the clothes he had bought for Xiao Liang and Zhang Aixiang.
After dinner, they were asked to try the clothes on. Grandpa and Aunt didn't refuse. This was a token of Xu Xiu's affection; they already considered Xu Xiu as half a son.
The clothes fit perfectly after trying them on. "Grandpa, Auntie will wear this to dinner tomorrow; it will make her look younger and more cheerful."
"Xiao Xu, you're very thoughtful."
Xiao Liang said with a smile.
Xiao Ruoyan, standing to the side, pouted and kept pointing at herself with her hand.
Xu Xiu was almost dying of laughter at her adorable appearance, and Zhang Aixiang was also amused by her daughter's vying-for-favor behavior.
Xu Xiu took out the clothes he had bought for her from another bag. Xiao Ruoyan took them and went inside to change with a smile.
After changing and walking out of the room, everyone was amazed.
A short red wool coat paired with a black long dress and limited-edition square-toe ankle boots.
She's mature and sexy, and she's not even wearing tights. Being young is great!
Xu Xiu was so engrossed in watching it that his mouth was practically watering.
Zhang Aixiang was also engrossed in watching; her daughter had truly grown up.
She deliberately showed off in front of Xu Xiu for a while, then went back to her room to change.
After trying on the clothes, Xu Xiu brought Xiao Ruoyan to Xu Zhiyuan's house, only to be met by two old men who were glaring at each other as soon as they entered.
My maternal grandfather, Fang Liao, spent a fortune to buy a villa after the Spring Festival last year because the original house was too small, so all gatherings and parties were held at Xu Zhiyuan's house.
This time, my grandfather even brought out his coffin lid, all so that we could buy a big house so that everyone could come over to his place for the New Year celebrations.
The two elders have been arguing about whose house to visit after the New Year's Eve dinner this year.
Xu Xiu had barely stepped inside when he sensed something was wrong. He was about to run away with Hanhan when the two elders called him back.
"What are you running for? Come here right now."
Xu Zhiyuan called out.
Xu Xiu had no choice but to obediently walk in.
"So, let the grandson decide whose house we go to for the stay."
Fang Liao said to Xu Zhiyuan.
"Damn it, these two old guys are trying to scam me."
Xu Xiu grumbled inwardly.
There's no escaping it now. You may have your clever plans, but I'll find a way to get around them!
Xu Xiu simply asked his grandmother for a coin, then stepped forward and said, "How about this, let's be fair and flip a coin: heads for Grandpa's family, tails for Grandpa's family. What do you two think?"
"Okay, I agree."
"I have no objection either."
Seeing that both of them agreed, Xu Xiu continued, "To be fair, how about I let my granddaughter-in-law vote?"
Xu Xiu had already decided who would take the blame, and Xiao Ruoyan, who was originally just watching the show from the sidelines, was suddenly pulled into the situation.
"Ugh, Xiu, you tricked me!"
Xiao Ruoyan rebuked angrily.
Xu Xiu ignored her and simply handed her the coin. Xiao Ruoyan had no choice but to start flipping the coin. Xu Xiu added, "One round to decide the winner!"
Xiao Ruoyan tossed the coin high into the air; it bounced a few times as it fell, but then it stood upright...
The scene fell silent instantly, followed by the three people's complaints.
Holy crap!
"Wow!"
"Holy crap!"
Xu Xiu cursed inwardly.
"This idiot is doing it on purpose, isn't he!"
Xiao Ruoyan was completely taken aback by this turn of events; she was utterly dumbfounded.
"Ruoyan, keep throwing."
Xu Xiu refused to believe that it could stand up again.
Xiao Ruoyan tossed the coin again, and this time it didn't stand up; instead, it landed tails.
Fang Liao waved excitedly, no wonder they say the old man and the child are the same.
After things were settled, the relationship between the two elders became exceptionally harmonious. However, Xu Xiu knew that if he were to throw things away, the conflict would never end.
Xiao Ruoyan played at Grandpa Xu Xiu's house for a while before heading back home, as there were still many things at home that needed her help with.
Xu Xiu didn't follow them; he went straight upstairs to wash up and go to sleep, as he was exhausted these past few days.
On the morning of Lunar New Year's Eve, Xu Xiu was woken up from his bed by a group of people.
As for the reason for calling out, it was said that they needed to go to their maternal grandfather's house to do some cleaning.
Cleaning during the Lunar New Year? Xu Xiu was speechless, but his resistance was useless at home ever since Hanhan came to live with them.
His status was only slightly higher than that of the big orange cat his grandfather kept.
It's like someone who was originally a prince in ancient times, but has now been demoted to a commoner...
When they arrived at their maternal grandfather's house, everyone seemed more interested in having a good time than cleaning. Xiao Ruoyan, however, had already arrived and was diligently cleaning.
Xu Xiu watched with great interest. Today, she was wearing the New Year's clothes that Xu Xiu had given her. Originally, she was supposed to wear them on the first day of the Lunar New Year, but this year everyone was wearing them earlier.
Just as Xu Xiu was engrossed in watching, he was suddenly tapped on the forehead.
Turning around, he found his maternal grandfather, Fang Liao, glaring at him, "Your granddaughter-in-law is cleaning, what are you daydreaming about? Get up and go!"
Xu Xiu shrank back and obediently went over to sweep the floor with Xiao Ruoyan.
But as Xu Xiu was sweeping, he started imitating the sweeping monks on TV, which only made things worse, and his grandmother kicked him out.
Then he told Xiao Ruoyan to stop and sit down to eat fruit and watch TV.
Xu Xiu stood at the doorway, feeling the cold wind blowing on him. He sighed, "How cold and indifferent the world is."
