In the private room, which exudes understated luxury, a large round Chinese table is neatly set with exquisitely plated dishes.
These dishes are all Mr. Qin's favorite foods.
Mr. Qin picked up his chopsticks and started eating. "Does Duoduo usually prefer mild or spicy food?"
"It should be bland; I don't eat spicy food."
Upon learning that the taste was the same, Mr. Qin was even more satisfied with his granddaughter-in-law. "The old chicken soup tastes very authentic. Try it."
"Okay." Jiang Duoduo scooped up a bowl hesitantly. "It's very delicious."
After five minutes, Mr. Qin would say which dish was the best, and Jiang Duoduo would obediently pick it up.
Duoduo's obedient and well-behaved appearance perfectly matched the image of the sweet and considerate little girl in Master Qin's mind. However, he was afraid of scaring Duoduo, otherwise, he would definitely give her a small mountain of food.
Lin Yun, who couldn't get a word in edgewise, watched as the old man practically served food and soup to Jiang Duoduo, realizing that the old man was probably quite satisfied with Jiang Duoduo as his granddaughter-in-law.
Thinking about the old man's usual behavior, he doesn't talk much, but every time he does, it's basically to find fault with others...
Now, the old man speaks to Jiang Duoduo much more gently, with a smile on his face.
In all the years she'd been in the Qin family, the only time the old man was ever truly happy was during the years after her sister-in-law gave birth to Qin Xue. But after Qin Xue grew up, she had never seen the old man in such a good mood.
This made her even more certain that the old man was very satisfied with Jiang Duoduo.
Very decisively, she started talking to Jiang Duoduo, interrupting their conversation, "Duoduo, did you like the gift your aunt gave you last time?"
Jiang Duoduo looked at Lin Yun, thinking of the dozen or so bags of jewelry Lin Yun had given her last time, "I liked it, but it was too expensive. I later asked President Qin to return it to you... but President Qin told me to keep it safe."
"Return..." Why would you give it to me? It's a gift from Auntie to Duoduo, how can I return it?
Lin Yun had only uttered two words when Old Master Qin interrupted her, "Don't talk while eating." He paused, then said, "What kind of manners are these?" Trying to deliver a gift before him? Lin Yun's gotten quite bold.
Lin Yun: "..." Hey! Why is this old man two-faced? Weren't you the one talking so enthusiastically with Duoduo at the dinner table just now? Now that I said something, I'm considered ill-mannered?
Although Lin Yun was unhappy with the old man's two-faced nature, she obediently kept quiet.
Jiang Duoduo was seated on either side of Master Qin and Qin Xue, while Lin Yun sat next to Master Qin.
As for Qin Jue, he sat aloofly opposite Duo Duo, a distance that felt as vast as the Milky Way.
He listened to their conversation, his face darkening, showing no appetite, and coldly said, "Duoduo, come sit over here."
Qin Jue had truly reached his limit. He had finally managed to get rid of Fang Chu, Ji Yue, and Gu Yan, keeping them away from Duo Duo. Now, things were even worse; his lunch break had been stolen by the old man, and just when it was finally time to eat, the old man had to come along, and then Lin Yun appeared…
Old Master Qin noticed his grandson's dissatisfaction with him. He put on a stern face, and seeing that Duoduo had actually run over with the bowl, he suddenly became unhappy. "What? You're not allowed to sit next to me?"
"I can't eat unless she sits next to me," Qin Jue replied coldly.
"Tch..." Qin Xue put down her chopsticks after taking a couple of bites. She was leaning back lazily in her chair, playing with her phone and watching the fun. But now she couldn't help but laugh at Qin Jue's antics.
As expected of Qin Jue, he even gets jealous of the old man. How embarrassing.
