Su Chenqiu hadn't even had time to take off his clothes when he got home when Qiao Manli surrounded him. He had to stop what he was doing and tried to explain, but before he could speak, he was pushed.
"You big liar, didn't you say you'd take me to the library today?" The girl put her hands on her hips, as if she wouldn't let you off the hook until you gave her a straight answer.
Su Chenqiu smiled helplessly: "You were still sleeping when I left this morning. I didn't have the heart to wake you, so I didn't call you."
Look how dark it is outside! If you had come out with me, you would have already given up and wanted to come back.
"Hmph!" Qiao Manli turned to the side in anger.
Tao Chunfang, supporting her back, walked into the house: "Why are you so unforgiving, girl? Your brother Qiu, school starts in less than a month. Now is the time for review, what are you doing following him around?"
You're not even studying, so why are you blindly following along? If you're in a hurry to study, we'll put you in first grade when school starts.
"Mom, he didn't keep his word. He said he would take me, but he didn't." Qiao Manli pouted and started to whine as she pulled her mother's hand.
Tao Chunfang couldn't stand her daughter's nagging nature the most. She pulled her hand away and said, "Grandma made your favorite fried meatballs. Go and eat them quickly, they won't taste good if they get cold."
"It's so great to have meatballs!" With something delicious to eat, Qiao Manli could put everything else aside and ran to the kitchen.
The person who was throwing a tantrum left, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at each other.
Tao Chunfang: "Xiao Qiu, you don't need to spoil Manli so much. You have to say what needs to be said, and you can't let her bad habits get the better of you."
“Her temperament has become much more obedient. It’s just that I’ve been too busy lately and haven’t had much time to spend with her, otherwise she wouldn’t be throwing a tantrum.” Su Chenqiu only had time to take off his coat at this moment.
Tao Chunfang noticed that he had grown quite a bit taller, and she thought to herself that she should find a tailor to make him a few more pairs of pants.
The Fu family.
Fu Jialin had been waiting for Fu Boyi to return. He was relieved to see that Fu Boyi had come back safe and sound, without any signs of illness. He walked over and patted his grandson on the shoulder, saying, "Dinner is ready. Let's go eat together."
Fu Boyi turned around, reached out to the butler, took the meat sauce, and then waved it at his grandfather.
"This stuff is delicious, it goes perfectly with rice."
Fu Jialin looked at the butler: "Did you take the young master out to buy things?" His tone was extremely serious. The place where they were selling things was very noisy and dirty.
Butler Fu lowered his head: "I didn't take the young master shopping. This was a gift from a friend of the young master."
I didn't stop the young master because I saw he liked it; it's all my fault.
Fu Jialin finally understood what was going on, and waved to the butler, indicating that he could leave.
Butler Fu breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave, not wanting to stay and be scolded any longer.
The Fu family was the most prominent family in Kyushu City, primarily engaged in foreign trade, exporting goods from China to other countries. Unfortunately, despite their vast wealth and influence, they lacked a suitable successor.
Upstairs came the sound of the second young lady, Fu Ru, cursing. It was simply that the medicine wasn't working, and her face hadn't improved at all; in fact, it was even worse than before.
She wasn't Fu Jialin's biological granddaughter, but relying on their blood relation, she acted like a tyrant in the family, and everyone had long disliked her. She had used some underhanded tactics, but he turned a blind eye, pretending not to see it.
