Chapter 200: Digging a Trap for the Father-in-law
Ruan Qi felt helpless about her boyfriend's extravagant spending on digging a fish pond. But it must be said that Xi Jiu's actions really pleased Grandpa Ruan.
The Ruan family's attitude towards the relationship between Ruan Qi and Xi Jiu has always been ambiguous.
Yang Liu accepted it calmly, Grandma Ruan agreed with both hands, and Ruan Fengmian refused a thousand times but had no say.
Grandpa Ruan is the only one in the Ruan family who remains neutral.
He neither supported nor opposed it, and seemed to have no presence in the Ruan family.
But after a few days of calm observation, Xi Jiu keenly realized that this old man Ruan, who had little presence, was the spiritual pillar supporting the entire Ruan family.
Grandpa Ruan always seemed to be smiling, as if he had no other skills besides farming. However, when Grandma Ruan was upset, she would vent her anger on him, and when Ruan Fengmian and Yang Liu had a conflict, they would talk to him. Even when Ruan Munan encountered troubles at work, he would go to Grandpa Ruan to play a game of chess.
Grandpa Ruan is like a close friend of the Ruan family. He can help them solve any problem and handle any difficulty.
When Xi Jiu first discovered this, he was a little surprised. But soon, he thought of what Ruan Qi said a few days ago -
Grandpa Ruan is the only one who can talk in front of Nie Beilou for more than ten years without being hacked to death by Nie Beilou with a big knife.
If he can even handle Nie Beilou, can Grandpa Ruan be an ordinary person?
Absolutely not.
Therefore, in order to have a status as soon as possible, Xi Jiu made a decisive decision that he must win over Grandpa Ruan.
The first step to win him over was to cater to his interests and dig a big fish pond in Yuyuan.
Facts have proved that this step was not wrong. Since the fish pond was completed in the morning, the old man has caught several buckets of fish all day.
Grandpa Ruan's eyes narrowed into slits with joy.
"This fish pond is well dug. It's worthy of being an imperial city. The feng shui is good. The fish in the pond are particularly fat. Xiao Xi is very thoughtful."
After saying that, he raised his hand and patted Xi Jiu's shoulder with relief.
Xi Jiu immediately bent down and let the old man do what he wanted, saying respectfully, "As long as Grandpa Ruan is happy."
As he spoke, he glanced at the fish in the bucket and calmly guided them, "Grandpa Ruan, we caught so many fish today. We can make a fish feast tonight."
Grandpa Ruan: "Fish feast?"
"Yes." Xi Jiu nodded slightly, looking humble and agreeable. "Fish nourishes the body. Xiao Qi has been busy with work lately, so it's a good time to replenish his energy."
These words touched Grandpa Ruan's heart directly.
Grandpa Ruan immediately clapped his hands, "You're right! Xiaoqi is so thin, he really needs some nutrition. Let's have a fish feast tonight!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xi Jiu took out his cell phone.
"I'll ask Chef Chen from home to come over now. Xiao Qi likes his cooking the most."
"?" Grandpa Ruan was stunned for a moment. "Why, why do we need a chef? We can just cook it ourselves."
It’s just a few fish, he can braise or steam them.
Grandpa Ruan wanted to do it himself, but Xi Jiu called Chef Chen first.
Xi Jiu had been going to Yu Garden these past few days, trying to show his affection whenever he could. However, Ruan Fengmian was very strict, allowing him to stay during the day but sending him out of Yu Garden promptly at six in the evening, not even inviting him to dinner.
Because of his father-in-law's strict precautions, Xi Jiu hasn't touched his baby for four days since Ruan Qi ate meat on his birthday.
Not only had they never touched, they hadn't even exchanged a few words. Whenever he and Ruan Qi were alone, Ruan Fengmian would appear within a minute.
For Xi Jiu, who had just tasted meat, this was no different from the ten tortures.
So, Boss Xi, who had gradually become perverted, set a trap for Grandpa Ruan and tricked him into going fishing for a day.
As for why we have a whole fish feast?
Because preparing a whole fish feast is very time-consuming.
Why do we have to invite Chef Chen?
Because Chef Chen is a member of the Xi family, Xi Jiu even contributed the Xi family's chef. Even out of courtesy, Ruan Fengmian could not refuse him from having dinner.
Gambling on the personality and dignity of the Xi family's helmsman, even if he dies tonight, Xi Jiu will die at Ruan Qi's dinner table.
He will never leave until eight or nine o'clock in the evening!
