It’s a rare sunny day on Sunday.
Chen Xu and Luo Xiyun were sitting in his Maybach. They were going to meet Luo Xiyun's grandmother today, so naturally they had to be more formal.
She was raised by her grandmother and they were very close.
"I bought some Dahongpao as a gift. What do you think?" Chen Xu asked, picking up a beautifully packaged gift box.
Luo Xiyun took it, looked at it, nodded and said, "She will definitely like it."
"That's good." Chen Xu didn't know what gift to give. He had to leave a good impression when meeting for the first time. Finally, he remembered that Xiyun mentioned that the old man usually liked to drink tea, so he asked Secretary Jin to buy some Dahongpao as a gift.
In the dream, the two spent so much time together that when chatting, Luo Xiyun would often mention her grandmother and talk about some things from her childhood.
Through her narration, Chen Xu formed an image of a sensible old lady in his mind.
Until yesterday, he remembered that Secretary Jin was sent by the old lady to help Xiyun, so he asked casually. Unexpectedly, he got a completely different answer from her.
Secretary Jin told him that Mrs. Fang, Xiyun's grandmother, was strict and strong. She had been in charge of the company until a few years ago, when she began to retreat to the second line. It was during that time that the Fang Group began to stagnate, and even some of its businesses began to decline.
In the eyes of different people, she is two completely different images. It can only be said that the old lady really loves Xiyun.
From Luo Xiyun, he already knew about her grandmother's relatives: she had an uncle and an aunt.
He had already met her aunt. Last time, there was a misunderstanding and she almost beat up her aunt's son. In addition, her aunt also had a daughter who was a few years older than Xiyun.
Her uncle is the youngest of three siblings. He currently takes over the Fang Group. He has been divorced once and has a son who has not yet started elementary school.
Such family relationships don't seem to be too complicated. At most, there are only seven close relatives, and the divorced aunt-in-law is naturally not included.
…………
The Fang Group is located in a nearby city and we will arrive there in more than an hour.
Under Luo Xiyun's guidance, the car drove into an upscale residential area and stopped in front of an old villa.
"Come on, let's go in." Luo Xiyun took his hand and got out of the car while holding the gift.
When she reached the door, she helped Chen Xu tidy up his clothes first, and then made sure that everything was fine before going forward and knocking on the door.
The door opened quickly and was opened by an aunt.
After a while, Chen Xu saw the old lady Fang, who was wearing a dark blue top and glasses, sitting on a chair reading a book. Her hair should be dyed black, tied up and combed meticulously. At first glance, she didn't look very old.
Next to her was a little boy of about five or six years old, who was doing his homework. He turned his head when he heard the noise. The old lady raised her eyes and glanced at the boy. He immediately lay down again and continued doing his homework.
"grandmother."
Luo Xiyun shouted.
The old lady raised her head and a smile appeared on her face. "It's Xiyun. Come here quickly, let me take a look."
Luo Xiyun let go of Chen Xu and walked over to hold her hand.
The old lady only noticed Chen Xu at this time. She looked him up and down and said, "Is this the boyfriend you mentioned last time?"
"Hello grandma, my name is Chen Xu. It's our first meeting, and I brought you a small gift." Chen Xu put the gift on the table.
"Okay, okay." The old lady patted Luo Xiyun's hand with a satisfied smile on her face.
"Sister Yun." The little boy who was doing his homework stood up and said, "Brother-in-law, I don't have any gifts."
Chen Xu smiled and said, "Yes, but you have to tell me what your name is."
Except for the one for the old lady, the rest of the gifts were prepared by Luo Xiyun.
"Hello, this is a greeting gift for you."
"Thank you, brother-in-law."
"Such a sweet mouth."
As he was talking, a man came down the stairs, "Xiyun is here."
When Chen Xu heard Fang Hao call this man "Dad", he knew that this was Xiyun's uncle Fang Zhiyuan, who looked to be in his thirties and was very handsome.
Luo Xiyun called out, "Uncle."
Chen Xu could tell that she was obviously not very close to this uncle.
Fang Zhiyuan came over and said with a smile, "You must be Xiyun's boyfriend, what a perfect match. Mom, you should be relieved now."
Chen Xu greeted politely, "Hello."
"If you don't mind, just call me uncle." Fang Zhiyuan seemed very enthusiastic. He took his hand and said, "Come on, I'll take you to visit. They haven't seen each other for a while, so they must have a lot to talk about."
Chen Xu looked at Luo Xiyun, and she nodded and said, "You go ahead, I'll chat with grandma first."
"good."
Chen Xu followed Fang Zhiyuan and toured the villa. After a while, they went up to the second floor.
"This is my wine cabinet. All my treasures are in here." Fang Zhiyuan walked into the wine cabinet, picked out a bottle, and said, "Would you like a drink?"
"Okay." Seeing how enthusiastic he was, Chen Xu did not refuse.
After Fang Zhiyuan opened the lid, he poured the wine into the decanter, walked over to sit down, and suddenly said, "I heard that Secretary Jin is following you now."
Chen Xu sensed something unusual in his expression and said, "Yes, Xiyun introduced him to me."
Before following Xiyun, Secretary Jin had been Fang Zhiyuan's secretary.
Yesterday, he specifically asked her if she wanted to come over to visit her former boss. She didn't agree, saying she had a lot of work recently. Now it seems that she probably just didn't want to come.
Fang Zhiyuan crossed his hands subconsciously, paused for a few seconds, and asked, "How is she doing?"
Chen Xu knew what he should say, "She is doing well."
"That's good." Fang Zhiyuan smiled at him and said, "She is really capable. After she left the company, I changed several secretaries, but I was not satisfied with any of them."
Chen Xu nodded. "She is indeed very capable and has helped me a lot. I have raised her salary several times."
Fang Zhiyuan smiled at him friendly and changed the subject.
The two tasted the red wine and went back downstairs. An hour had passed.
Near noon, Chen Xu finally found an opportunity to ask Luo Xiyun, "Did Fang Zhiyuan have any story with Secretary Jin?"
Luo Xiyun sighed and said, "He hasn't given up yet?"
"He was too obvious about it. He specifically asked about Secretary Jin's recent situation." There was one thing Chen Xu didn't say. He felt that Fang Zhiyuan was deliberately acting like this in front of him.
