When she arrived, it was almost noon. The old man was fishing in the yard and looked very energetic.
Looking at the old man sitting on the chair, Xu Nanzhi thought that according to the old man's current situation, if Xu Kui wanted to truly take power, he would probably have to wait a long time.
"Miss Nanzhi is here?" The old man threw the fishing rod in his hand into the pond and looked at Xu Nanzhi with a lukewarm tone. He was obviously a little angry. After all, he had called Xu Nanzhi many times before, but Xu Nanzhi either hung up or didn't answer.
This was a great insult to Mr. Xu's dignity.
So, the moment he saw Xu Nanzhi coming, he deliberately wanted to teach Xu Nanzhi a lesson.
Looking at the old man's lukewarm expression, Xu Nanzhi nodded.
The old man said, "Wait a moment. I just cast my rod. We'll go back after we catch something."
Xu Nanzhi looked at the current weather. People say that July is the hottest month of the year. Now it is approaching midsummer and the sun is very scorching. If he stands here waiting, he will probably be sweating profusely in a few minutes.
The old man's side was close to the shade.
"In that case, I'll go in first. Grandpa, you can come in after you catch the fish. I'll be waiting for you inside."
"Come in for some tea."
Afterwards, without waiting for the old man's reaction, Xu Nanzhi walked straight into the house.
Inside the house, the servants were wiping the vases. When they saw Xu Nanzhi come in, they nodded at her, but their attitude was not very respectful.
But Xu Nanzhi doesn't care about these things because she doesn't live here.
She had just sat down on the sofa when she heard footsteps coming down from upstairs: "Pingping, who's here?"
As soon as Xu Nanzhi heard the voice, he knew it was Yao Lihua. He raised his eyebrows but didn't say anything. He made himself a cup of tea but didn't drink it.
Placing it in front of me, I watched the hot steam coming out of the teacup, curling away like white smoke, which gave me an indescribable feeling.
The person whom Yao Lihua just called Pingping was a servant hired by the Xu family. She was mainly responsible for cleaning the Xu family.
Hearing the hostess asking herself, the girl named Pingping glanced at Xu Nanzhi. Perhaps out of concern for Mr. Xu outside, she hesitantly replied, "Madam, it's Miss Nanzhi who's here!"
"Who?" As soon as she finished speaking, Yao Lihua raised her anxious voice, seeming a little bit unbelievable.
"Xu Nanzhi?" He raised his voice again.
As the volume grew louder, Yao Lihua also came down from upstairs.
When their eyes met, Xu Nanzhi saw hatred in Yao Lihua's eyes.
However, she did not care about these things. She knew that Yao Lihua would not dare to do anything excessive. After all, this was the Xu family and the one who made the decision was Old Man Xu.
Yao Lihua looked at Pingping and asked in a low voice with a somewhat unfriendly tone, "Why is she here?"
The one named Pingping glanced at Xu Nanzhi and nodded at Yao Lihua.
Then he replied in a low voice: "Madam, it should be the old man who asked her to come over. I just heard her talking to the old man."
Yao Lihua glanced at Xu Nanzhi again, then said, "The old man is still fishing outside."
The maid nodded imperceptibly. As the two were talking, they heard hurried footsteps from upstairs, and Yao Lihua was startled.
Afterwards, Xu Shiqing rushed towards Xia Li and said, "Xu Nanzhi, what are you doing here?"
There was a questioning tone in his voice, and the look he gave Xu Nanzhi was as if he wanted to kill her.
Xu Nanzhi glanced at Xu Shiqing, then leaned back on the sofa with a playful smile on his lips: "Why, can't I come over?"
The tone was somewhat provocative. Xu Shiqing took a deep breath and resisted the urge to go forward and tear Xu Nanzhi apart.
Trying to make your tone calmer, "Yes, of course. Grandpa dotes on you so much, so of course you can come whenever you want."
Then he changed the subject and sat down on the sofa not far from Xu Nanzhi.
Looking at her, Xu Nanzhi didn't say anything, and Xu Shiqing also had a cold expression on her face.
Yao Lihua was worried that Xu Shiqing would suffer a loss, so she stayed downstairs and did not go upstairs.
When the old man came in, he saw three people sitting on the sofa without saying a word.
Yao Lihua looked at Xu Shiqing with some worry, Xu Shiqing looked at Xu Nanzhi with resentment, while Xu Nanzhi himself was leisurely making tea and fiddling with the tea set.
After the old man came in, Xu Nanzhi stopped what he was doing and looked at the old man.
The old man handed the gloves to the servant, and then said to the housekeeper who was following behind him: "Cook the fish I just caught. We will have it for lunch. Prepare a few more dishes as well."
Looking at Xu Nanzhi, he said, "Nanzhi girl, please stay here at noon today. It's just right because I have something to tell you."
Xu Nanzhi did not refuse and nodded, which was considered as her agreement.
The old man first changed his clothes, then went downstairs and sat down on the other side of the sofa. Looking at the tea in the cup, he asked Xu Nanzhi, "Is this for me?"
Xu Nanzhi nodded: "Try it?"
The old man took it, sniffed it first, and then drank it.
"Not bad, not bad. When it comes to the art of making tea, Nanzhi, you've truly inherited everything your grandmother taught you."
This sounded quite ironic to Xu Nanzhi.
With a half smile on his lips, he asked, "Grandpa, do you still remember grandma's tea-making skills? That's rare."
Hearing the sarcasm in the words, Mr. Xu's face darkened: "Of course, it's not just your tea-making skills that I remember. I also remember a lot of things about your grandmother."
After saying that, seeing that Xu Nanzhi didn't say anything, the old man continued to talk to himself: "You, it seems that you still blame me. What happened back then can't be explained in a few words. It's all in the past. What's the point of you still holding on to it?"
Seeing that the old man was about to continue speaking, Xu Nanzhi interrupted him at the right time: "Okay, Grandpa, since you think it's over, then don't mention these things anymore. There is no point."
"I came here today for two reasons: one is to see you. I was a bit busy before and never got around to it. The other reason is that you always said you had something to ask me."
After saying that, Xu Nanzhi just looked at the old man, waiting for him to speak.
The old man looked at Xu Nanzhi for a few times, sighed, and then said, "I guess you know why I'm looking for you?"
Xu Nanzhi still didn't speak, waiting for the old man to pass on the words. Seeing that Xu Nanzhi didn't respond, the old man had to continue speaking himself.
"Regarding the cooperation between Xu Corporation and Dachen Pharmaceutical, I think your decision is correct."
