While Wu Ma was directing ten chefs in the kitchen to cook, she suddenly sneezed.
My back started hurting again after that movement.
"Ouch, my back!"
"Who just insulted me?"
Butler Liu popped out from behind the door. "Aunt Wu, you're injured, go and rest. I'll keep an eye on things here."
Aunt Wu, supporting her back, said, "It's alright, I can manage. Leave the kitchen to me, you go to the front to greet everyone."
Butler Liu instructed, "Don't be reckless. Call me if anything happens."
Aunt Wu nodded and continued to instruct the chef on how to cook, "The old master and old lady don't eat cilantro, the young mistress eats everything, but the eldest young master doesn't eat many things, he won't eat this..."
As soon as Butler Liu stepped into the front hall, a loud voice rang out, "Grandpa, Grandma, I'm here."
The voice was unmistakably Ji Heng's, and Butler Liu quickly went to greet him, "Young Master is back."
The Fu family is small; Fu Jingyao is the eldest son, while Ji Heng is the youngest.
Ji Heng grinned foolishly, "Butler Liu, long time no see, your hair has grown even thicker."
"Haha." Butler Liu scratched his head. "Young Master, please come in."
Ji Heng carried the gifts inside, exclaiming, "Grandpa, Grandma... Oh my god!!"
He was startled when he saw the person inside, immediately stood up straight, and weakly called out, "Brother, sister-in-law."
Fu Jingyao glanced at him indifferently, "You're so old, be more mature. You're like a primary school student all the time."
Ji Heng pouted, "Brother, you're right, I'll change it, I'll change it right away."
He looked around, "Where are my grandparents?"
“Here.” Fu Jianhua and Zhang Wenxiu came out of the restroom. “Ji Heng, you’ve grown taller again.”
The last time I saw Ji Heng, he was just a kid. Time flies, and he's grown so tall.
Ji Heng stepped forward and hugged the two elderly people. "Grandpa, Grandma, you're never home. My sister, my parents, and I miss you very much."
Zhang Wenxiu stood on tiptoe and patted his head, saying, "We'll stay home often from now on, and you can come over to play whenever you have time."
"Okay." Ji Heng held up the gift. "Grandpa, happy birthday! I wish you a long and healthy life, all your wishes come true, and happiness every day..."
He rattled off a long string of blessings, which Fu Jianhua found utterly tiresome; this kid's personality was completely opposite to Jingyao's.
Ji Hengshe is a scoundrel; his skin is thicker than a wall, and he can get a few words out of anyone.
Fu Jianhua took the gift box. "Xiao Heng, your heart has been accepted by the public. Why are you the only one here?"
Ji Heng scratched his head. "My parents and sister will come later. They have other things to do. I didn't have any classes today, so I came first."
Fu Jianhua pulled Zhang Wenxiu to sit down, "Xiao Heng, you sit down too."
Ji Heng glanced at the two couples on the sofa, then consciously sat down in the corner. There was a plate of oranges in front of him, and he picked one up and started eating.
Hmm? It's a little sour.
Unsure? I'll try it again.
Ji Heng finished a plate of oranges without realizing it. "Grandpa, will anyone else come?"
My maternal grandparents had two children, my mother and my uncle. My uncle and aunt passed away a long time ago. Apart from their family, we don't seem to have any other relatives.
Fu Jianhua: "No one should be coming. In previous years, Wenxiu and I were not at home. This year, we are celebrating my birthday at home, so very few people know about it."
"My close friends know that I like peace and quiet, so they sent gifts early on. Today is a family dinner; it's been a long time since our family has gotten together."
"Xiao Heng, you're not allowed to sneak away later."
Ji Heng assured him, "Grandpa, no way."
The big boss is here, and the Divine Calculation Hall isn't open. If he sneaks out, he won't get any gossip. Only by following the big boss can he get fresh gossip.
After the five of them sat for a while, Butler Liu rushed in and whispered in Fu Jianhua's ear, "Old Master, that person has arrived. He said he hasn't seen him in a long time and misses him very much."
"she?"
Fu Jianhua's expression changed, and he looked at the person beside him.
Zhang Wenxiu patted his hand reassuringly, "We haven't seen each other for twenty years, but blood is thicker than water. Since you're here, it's alright to see each other."
“Yes, it’s been twenty years…” Fu Jianhua waved his hand, “Call someone in.”
"Okay." Butler Liu went to fetch someone and also called Qi Wenye over, in case anything happened, this big guy could pack the person up and throw them out.
Ji Heng pricked up his ears, "Grandpa, who is it?"
He had never heard of his maternal grandfather having any blood relatives. Could they be illegitimate children?
Impossible. My maternal grandparents were childhood sweethearts and had a very good relationship. Who could it be?
Wow! I stumbled upon a huge juicy story. I'll be following this big shot and enjoying the gossip anytime.
Fu Jianhua glared at him, "Mind your own business, it's none of your concern."
Ji Heng quietly moved towards Lin Xi, about to speak, when Fu Jingyao slapped him away, saying, "You smell of sweat, stay away."
The man's tone was full of disdain, and Ji Heng obediently got up and went around to the back of the sofa, "Boss."
A cold gaze shot over, and Ji Heng immediately changed his tune, "Sister-in-law, I'm so curious, who is Grandpa?"
Lin Xi said, word by word, "Looking at Grandpa's face, his forehead has a slightly raised sun and moon corners with diagonal lines, and his left eyebrow is sparse with a line below it."
Ji Heng didn't understand at all. "Uh-huh, and then?"
Lin Xi was speechless. "Look at me, I've been telling fortunes for so long, and I haven't understood a single word."
Ji Heng chuckled foolishly, "Boss, tell me quickly!"
Lin Xi shrugged. "That's a different price. Take your time to guess."
Ji Heng wanted to ask more, but Fu Jingyao grabbed him by the collar and threw him onto the sofa in the corner. "Xi Xi said, guess for yourself."
Ji Heng secretly made a face, "Hehehe, you stingy guy."
He dared not ask any more questions, for if he did, he would either be sent to mine in Africa or to dig potatoes in Siberia.
Butler Liu led three people in: two men and one woman.
The woman was around forty years old and very well-maintained. She wore light makeup, and her bright, watery eyes looked like those of an eighteen-year-old girl, radiating innocence.
To her right was a middle-aged man with thinning hair.
To the left was a handsome young man with a pale face and an aura of illness emanating from him.
The two men looked somewhat alike and were clearly father and son.
The woman's eyes were filled with tears, and she was about to speak.
"cough!!"
Qi Wenye coughed expressionlessly, stood at the door showing off his large tattooed arms and well-developed biceps.
It was as if the three were being warned: speak properly, or else... hehe!!
The woman froze for a moment, then shrank back in fear.
Ji Heng silently gave Qi Wenye a thumbs up; as expected of a ruthless person who returned from Africa.
With that gangster aura, who would dare to act recklessly?!
The middle-aged man put his arm around the woman's shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, he's just a bodyguard."
The woman composed herself, slowly walked up to Fu Jianhua, and cried out.
"elder brother……"
