He looked at Lan Xi, who didn't react at all. She wiped her hands with a handkerchief and even smiled at him after feeling his gaze.
Zhu Lingling didn't say anything and followed her mistress to wipe her hands with a handkerchief.
There are elders here!!
The meal was very formal. Lan Xi didn't have a big appetite, so she just took two bites and started drinking the soup.
Shi Tinghan, who was sitting opposite Lan Xi, looked at her calm expression and tightened his grip on the chopsticks slightly.
Lan Xi is very vengeful!
Lan Xi ate in small bites, knowing that Shi Tinghan was looking at her. He should... know what she was thinking!
Raising her head, Lan Xi and Shi Tinghan looked at each other, her lips curled, and she put down the spoon.
At the same time, Zhu Lingling saw her put down the spoon and reached out to serve her soup.
There was suddenly a piece of fish in the bowl!
Shi Tinghan used the serving chopsticks to pick up the food for Lan Xi. He stood up slightly and looked at Lan Xi: "What else do you want to eat?"
Lan Xi's face showed a flattered expression, and then she smiled mischievously: "Since Brother Shi is willing, then let's have a bowl of soup!"
Shi Tinghan took the new bowl handed to him by the maid and scooped some soup for her with a spoon.
Lan Xi took it with both hands, smelled it and sighed, "Brother Shi's soup is still the best!"
The old man smiled and said, "In that case, Xixi, do you want to be my granddaughter-in-law?"
Sure enough, Mr. Shi brought up this matter again, which was something he had been insisting on for so many years.
Lan Xi quickly brought it to the old man: "Grandpa, you haven't had your soup yet, right? Today's soup is especially delicious! Come and try it!"
The old man was amused and pointed at Lan Xi: "Look, he looks exactly like your grandfather!"
Lan Xi straightened her back proudly: "Since you praised me, I accept it!"
"Hahahahaha! Really! Who praised you! I said you are just like your grandfather!" Old Master Shi laughed out loud, but did not push the bowl back.
Lan Xi continued proudly, "Our old man is so amazing! I'd be lucky if I could be half as good as him! Grandpa Shi, when you said I'm the same as him, weren't you just praising me?"
"Hahahahahaha!" Mr. Shi laughed happily, and the maids and housekeepers around him also smiled.
After dinner, everyone moved to the living room and sat down.
"Xixi, when are you planning to join the company?" Mr. Shi asked Lan Xi leisurely, holding a teacup.
Lan Xi ate the fruit and smiled: "It depends on what my mother arranges! I just have to wait for her notification!"
Old Master Shi smiled without saying anything. He looked back at his grandchildren and sighed in his heart.
Zhu Lingling stood behind the sofa where Lan Xi was sitting, staring at the back of her head with her eyes downcast, pretending to be invisible.
Everyone was chatting about family matters and seemed to be having a great time.
Suddenly feeling the phone in her hand vibrate, Lan Xi looked down and said: Miss Lan, I promise you!
It was a message from Qin Xiangnan. Lan Xi curled her lips. Finally, there was something that made her happy in these two days.
"Grandpa Shi, it's getting late. I have something urgent to do here, so I have to leave first. I'll come again another day!" Lan Xi stood up and said goodbye to Grandpa Shi.
Just as the old man was about to get up, he heard Lan Xi say, "You should take a good rest. Let Brother Shi take me away!"
Mr. Shi's eyes turned, and he thought this was feasible, so he relaxed his strength and sat back down. He glanced at the housekeeper, and then said with a look of regret:
"The plum blossoms in the back garden are in full bloom. I said I'd take you there to see them. Since you're busy, maybe next time!"
As the butler took out a box from under the tea table and placed it in front of Lan Xi, Mr. Shi said:
"This is a piece of natural crystal that my friend from abroad sent me two days ago. I left one for Shanshan, and this one is for you!"
Zhu Lingling took two steps forward, took it, and whispered to the housekeeper, "Thank you, uncle."
Lan Xi lowered her eyes to glance at the box and said to Grandpa Shi, "Grandpa Shi really loves me and gave me such a good thing. It seems I will have to come here more often in the future!"
Shi Tingshan clicked her tongue twice: "You are such a scoundrel! You must come more often in the future, really!"
Mr. Shi looked at Lan Xi with a still loving smile: "Okay, okay, this is what Xixi said, you can't go back on your word!"
The first floor was bustling with activity. Shi Tinghan, who had just changed his clothes, came down slowly. Lan Xi saw him coming down and said goodbye to the old man again:
"Then Grandpa Shi, I'm leaving first! Take care of yourself, I'll visit you another day!"
Mr. Shi smiled and waved his hand: "Be careful on your way back!"
Lan Xi smiled and nodded, then turned around and followed Shi Tinghan who was already walking ahead.
Zhu Lingling walked up to Mr. Shi and bowed, "Goodbye, Mr. Shi!"
