Chapter 329 (Updated 3291)
329:
Back in the bedroom that Grandpa Feng had specially replicated for Ye Qingxi, Mu Shaowu opened his suitcase and took out Ye Qingxi's change of clothes, pajamas, and other belongings.
"Dad, why did you suddenly come back?" Ye Qingxi asked, puzzled.
Mu Shaowu: ...How should I put this?
"What, you don't want to leave?" Mu Shaowu asked back.
Ye Qingxi shook her head. It wasn't that she particularly didn't want to leave, but rather, "I haven't finished reading yet."
"Then wait a bit, and I'll go with you to take a look?"
"No need," Ye Qingxi said.
After all, it's someone else's bedroom, not a park, so it's not appropriate to keep going over to look at it.
"It's okay, go ahead and watch it if you want."
He was just a little embarrassed for a moment, but now he's learned his lesson. Next time he goes, he definitely won't praise anything, and that way, nothing will happen.
"Anyway, your Uncle Feng probably won't dislike you."
"Really, there's no need," Ye Qingxi said. "Next time you need to find him, you can just go over there."
"Okay," Mu Shaowu replied.
Ye Qingxi sat down on the sofa and looked up at the room in front of her.
Mu Shaowu then looked around the bedroom in front of him once again.
Although he had always thought that Grandpa Feng liked Ye Qingxi quite a bit, the moment he saw this bedroom, he realized that perhaps Grandpa Feng's feelings for Ye Qingxi were even deeper than he had thought.
"Your great-grandfather really liked you." Mu Shaowu said gently.
Ye Qingxi nodded; he thought so too.
"From now on, we'll come and visit your great-grandfather every year during holidays."
"Hmm," Ye Qingxi said, "If I have time, I can stay here for a few days."
"Okay," Mu Shaowu said with a smile.
After resting for a while, Grandpa Feng's brothers and sisters finally arrived, and dinner was about to begin.
The butler went upstairs to call someone for Old Master Feng.
Feng Que led Ye Qingxi and Mu Shaowu downstairs and walked to the front of Old Master Feng's brothers and sisters.
Grandpa Feng was the second oldest in his family, with one older brother, one younger brother, and one younger sister.
Seeing Ye Qingxi come down, he quickly introduced her to him: "This is your great-great-grandfather, this is your third great-grandfather, and this is your great-aunt."
Ye Qingxi looked at the old man in front of her, whose beard and hair were already white, and said politely, "Hello, Great-Grandfather, Hello, Third-Grandfather."
This great-aunt is quite different. Although she is old, she still has wine-red hair. She wears a beige shawl over her sweater and a sparkling blue diamond necklace around her neck, making her look very stylish.
"Hello, Great-Grandma."
"Hello."
"Come, sit down."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingxi sat down next to her.
Great-Grandma Feng looked at him carefully and exclaimed, "He's so handsome, no wonder he was chosen to star in Xiao Que's movie."
“No, that’s not it.” Feng Que sat down at the other end of the sofa. “I chose him mainly because he’s a good actor.”
"His acting skills are indeed very good."
Ye Qingxi exclaimed in surprise, "Great-Grandma, you watched the movie I acted in?"
"Of course, it was Xiao Que who filmed it. We went to see it together on the first day of the Lunar New Year. You and your dad both acted very well. I even cried while watching it."
Ye Qingxi smiled and said, "It's mainly because Uncle Feng took such good photos."
"His filming was certainly good, but your acting was also quite good. By the way, how old are you?"
"Seven years old."
"Oh, you're about the same age as my little grandson, but he's not as well-behaved as you. He's quite mischievous."
“I can be quite savvy sometimes,” Ye Qingxi said.
Great-Grandma Feng shook her head, "I don't believe it."
“Exactly, you look like the kind of well-behaved child that everyone admires,” said the third son of the Feng family.
Grandpa Feng said smugly, "Now it doesn't belong to anyone else, it belongs to me."
Feng Gu's great-grandmother smiled and leaned closer to Ye Qingxi, saying, "You don't know, when you were at the opening ceremony, your great-grandfather posted videos of you every day. Every time I opened my WeChat Moments, it was you singing."
“That’s right,” the third son of the Feng family chimed in. “I’ve even learned your song from your singing.”
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Feng said matter-of-factly, "What? You don't want to see it? Then you can block me. Besides, it's your honor to show it to you."
Feng Family Third Son: ...But he didn't say he didn't want to watch it.
"Did you come here specifically to wish your great-grandfather a Happy New Year?" The eldest son of the Feng family looked at Ye Qingxi and asked gently.
Ye Qingxi nodded.
"After paying New Year's visits, will you stay for a few days?"
"We'll stay for three days," Ye Qingxi said. "My father has other matters to attend to, so we have to go back in three days."
Mu Shaowu nodded, "Yes, there are some things I haven't finished dealing with at my family's company."
"You've already started working at the company?"
"Actually, I've always been here, but sometimes I'm busy with acting projects, so I have less time to deal with company matters."
"Then you are quite similar to Xiao Que."
Mu Shaowu smiled but didn't say anything.
The group chatted for a while, then the cook brought the dishes to the table, and everyone moved to the dining room.
When he was young, Grandpa Feng worked hard abroad and built the Feng family's reputation and influence overseas to its current status. His brothers and sisters are both close to and respect him. Now that Grandpa Feng has returned to enjoy his retirement, everyone, whether they are the older brother or the younger brother and sister, only hopes that he can live a smooth life.
Therefore, he liked Ye Qingxi, and the eldest, third, and fourth sons of the Feng family also liked Ye Qingxi.
He recognized Ye Qingxi as his great-grandson, and his brothers and sisters were also willing to recognize him as their godparents.
Since it was their first time meeting Ye Qingxi and it was also the New Year, the three of them had prepared generous gifts and presented them to Ye Qingxi after the meal.
Ye Qingxi looked at the box in front of her, which she didn't know contained but was obviously very valuable. She hesitated for a moment, glancing at Mu Shaowu and then at Old Master Feng. Seeing that they both nodded, she finally accepted it.
"Thank you, Great-Grandpa, Third-Grandpa, and Great-Grandma."
"You're welcome. Come visit us anytime you have time."
"Mm." Ye Qingxi nodded.
Ye Qingxi didn't open the gifts the three of them had given her until they left.
As expected, they were all very valuable, and each one was not cheap. Especially the eldest son of the Feng family, whose whole set of gold-inlaid jade longevity locks was conservatively estimated to be worth several million.
"Your great-grandfather recognized him, so he's definitely valuable," Mu Shaowu remarked.
"Then should I return these to my great-grandfather?" Ye Qingxi asked.
"No need for that."
Compared to the villa that Grandpa Feng planned to leave to Ye Qingxi, these are nothing.
“What your elders give you is all done with good intentions. Just keep it and return it to them or their children when you grow up.”
Ye Qingxi nodded, thinking to himself, "I hope they can all be healthy and live long lives, otherwise I won't be able to repay them."
The two stayed at Grandpa Feng's house for three days before Mu Shaowu prepared to leave with Ye Qingxi.
Grandpa Feng reluctantly saw them off at the airport, holding Ye Qingxi's hand and saying, "I'll come to see you when spring comes."
"Okay," Ye Qingxi replied.
Feng Que then handed them the snacks that had been packed for them in advance, saying, "You can eat them on the plane."
"Okay." Mu Shaowu accepted it.
"Then we're leaving, goodbye."
Goodbye, take care on your journey.
Mu Shaowu pulled Ye Qingxi out of the car and onto the plane.
Around eight o'clock, the plane arrived at the station, and Li Wei drove to pick them up.
As soon as Mu Shaowu arrived home, he saw Mu Shaoting sitting on the sofa, playing on her phone.
Upon seeing him return, Mu Shaoting asked, "How did your New Year's greetings go?"
"It went quite smoothly."
"Did Xiaoxi receive the big red envelope?"
"certainly."
"Let me see," Mu Shaoting said curiously.
"Come to my room and see for yourself in a little while," Mu Shaowu said.
Mu Shaoting nodded, then remembered something and said, "You received a package today, I left it in your room."
"good."
After Mu Shaowu finished speaking, he led Ye Qingxi upstairs.
He packed his luggage first before looking at the package Mu Shaoting was talking about.
Strange, Mu Shaowu thought, he hadn't bought anything recently.
Could it be a brand?
Mu Shaowu picked up the package, only to find that the sender's name only had an "F".
F, could it be Fengque?!
That shouldn't be the case, right?
He used to live at his house, why can't he just give it to him directly instead of sending it by express delivery?!
Mu Shaowu opened the express box with a puzzled look, and after opening the thick foam and bubble wrap inside, he saw that there was still a cardboard box in the middle.
Mu Shaowu: ...
He opened it with increasing confusion, only to find another thick layer of bubble wrap.
It's wrapped up so tightly, is there glass inside?
However, it is not glass.
Mu Shaowu looked at the familiar painting in the frame beneath the bubbles.
The sunset picture on that thin, withered tree looked like an egg yolk hanging on it.
It is still brightly colored, still rich and vibrant, and still, despite being a withered tree and a setting sun, it feels full of life.
"Dad, what are you looking at?" Ye Qingxi asked as she came out after taking a shower.
Mu Shaowu quickly stuffed bubble wrap into the painting and closed the box.
"It's nothing, just checking my package."
What is it?
"Some work-related stuff," Mu Shaowu said, stuffing the box into the cabinet, then quickly changed the subject, "Are you done washing?"
"Hmm. Dad, are you going to take a shower?"
"I'm not going to wash yet, I still have some things to take care of."
His main concern was that if he went inside, Ye Qingxi might open the cabinet, which would expose him.
Mu Shaowu walked up to Ye Qingxi and said, "Let me help you blow-dry your hair."
“Okay.” Ye Qingxi did not refuse.
Mu Shaowu picked up the hair dryer and carefully began to dry his hair.
After her hair was dried, Ye Qingxi went to bed and started playing games on her tablet.
Mu Shaowu then picked up his phone.
As soon as I opened it, I saw a WeChat message from Feng Que, sent three minutes earlier: "Did you receive the package?"
Mu Shaowu: ...
Mu Shaowu glanced at Ye Qingxi, then guiltily replied to his WeChat message: 【Why are you still sending packages?】
Feng Que: [Of course, I'm afraid you'd be too embarrassed to accept it if I gave it to you directly.]
Mu Shaowu: ...
Feng Que: [I'll draw you a phoenix tree next time.]
Mu Shaowu: ...Why don't you just draw a phoenix perched on a parasol tree?
Fengque: [Or should I paint a phoenix perched on a parasol tree?]
Mu Shaowu: ...There's no need to be on the same wavelength at times like this!
Mu Shaowu: [You should focus more on your film work.]
Feng Que: [Don't worry, I'm concerned. The box office and word-of-mouth are both very good. Everyone says you acted very well and that your acting skills have improved a lot. See?]
Fengque: [[Screenshot][Screenshot][Screenshot][Screenshot][Screenshot][Screenshot]]
Mu Shaowu: !!!
Wait, how did you manage to take so many screenshots?!
Could it be that he saw it and took screenshots, just waiting to show it to him now?
Thinking of this, Mu Shaowu couldn't help but laugh.
Sitting on the bed, Ye Qingxi: ...
So who is his dad chatting with?
They're laughing so happily.
but……
Since his father has no interest in him now, he can finally do his own thing.
