Chapter 719
"Since you know that I'm not willing, why are you forcing us?"
These words hadn't been given the old tutor the slightest bit of face.
The old man was angry and said coldly, "Did you come back on purpose to anger me?"
Lu Rui hurriedly said, "Brother, don't talk to grandpa like that anymore. grandpa also wants to stay a little closer to you."
The old tutor didn't appreciate his gesture. "I don't need anyone to pretend to be a good person here and cause trouble."
Upon hearing this, Su Yao, who initially wanted to start a conversation, immediately fell silent.
When the old tutor got angry, he really didn't give face to anyone.
Lu Rui did not dare to speak any further and immediately quieted down.
Fu Jingchen said coldly, "Grandpa, the older you are, the more trouble you will create."
"Good for you, Fu Jingchen." The old man turned to look at Su Yao: "Yao Yao, are you thinking the same thing as Fu Jingchen: you don't want to live here?"
"Grandpa, you misunderstood. It's not that Jingchen doesn't want to live here, he's just afraid that I might not be used to it. I'm a bit bedridden. When I first moved to Jingchen's place, I didn't sleep well for a few days."
Fu Jingchen's expression eased up a bit and he didn't say anything.
The old man asked, "Do you even have this habit?"
Su Yao pursed her lips and smiled, "That's right. I don't feel safe at all. "Now that I am also a daughter-in-law of the Fu Family, I will always come back to see you together with Jingchen. Thus, I have to start adapting from now on and treat your place as my own territory."
The old tutor laughed heartily, his mood noticeably much better.
"Un, not bad, not bad. Child, you are so much more pleasing than me, a grandson who doesn't know anything."
"Grandpa, don't say that. Actually, if Jingchen wasn't here, I wouldn't have such confidence. I just relied on him. He was sleeping beside me, so I felt more at ease."
"Oh." The old man raised an eyebrow and said joyfully, "You've gotten used to this kid by your side, haven't you?"
With an embarrassed blush on her face, Su Yao nodded.
Fu Jingchen raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Putting everything else aside, this woman's ability to coax the old man was quite good.
With these words, the old tutor lost his temper and his mood improved.
Beside him, Lu Rui bent over and poured a cup of tea for the old man.
However, the old man acted as if he didn't see them and stood up, saying to Su Yao, "Let's go Yao Yao. Since the two of you are back, it's time to eat."
"Alright, grandpa." Su Yao stood up as she spoke.
She stole a glance at Lu Rui, thinking, why isn't the old gramps giving me any face?
As the old man walked forward, Su Yao bent down and patted Lu Rui's hand, smiling as she said, "Let's go, Miss Lu. It's time to eat."
The moment Su Yao called out to her, a smile appeared on Lu Rui's face. She stood up and followed Su Yao to the dining table.
The old tutor sat in the main seat.
Fu Jingchen and Su Yao sat on his right side.
Luera sat to his left.
During the meal, Lu Rui was very quiet.
He would only occasionally help the old tutor with food.
However, the old man didn't even touch the food she picked up.
On the other hand, the dishes that Uncle Xu had given him behind the old tutor had all been eaten up by the old tutor.
The old man was old and had a poor appetite.
Just a little was enough.
He looked at Su Yao and asked, "Yao Yao, did you just say that you went to work at Dade?"
Su Yao nodded. "Yes, Grandpa."
"How is it? Are you used to it at the company?"
Su Yao put down her chopsticks and answered considerately, "I used to be in the project department, but now Jingchen has put me in my old position. Su Yao put down her chopsticks and replied considerately," I used to be in the project department, but now Jingchen has put me in my old position again.
"Mm, not bad, not bad at all."
Seeing that Su Yao had put down her chopsticks, Fu Jingchen said to the old man, "If you're done eating, you should go rest first."
The old tutor's face grew cold, "What, you're looking for trouble with me again?"
"Didn't you see that Su Yao didn't even eat her food in order to reply to you?"
Su Yao nudged him lightly with her elbow.
The old man raised his hand towards Su Yao. "Yao Yao, eat your food."
Su Yao chuckled and said, "It's alright, grandpa. I'm pretty much full as well."
Fu Jingchen turned his head and looked at her: "What, in my grandpa's house, even your appetite has shrunk?"
Embarrassed, Su Yao pouted at him and whispered, "I've never seen such an ungrateful person like you. I don't want to lose weight."
"There's no need to reduce it. It's just right now. It's delicious, right?"
On the other side, Lu Rui also smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, don't lose weight. You're too thin, and don't look healthy."
Su Yao leaned forward and said in a friendly ma
er, "I want to be as ski
y as you are."
"It's not good for me to be sick like this."
The old man also said, "You're just like a hemp. What's so good about that? Yaoyao, you're not allowed to lose weight. Eat well."
As he spoke, he stood up and said, "I won't disturb you guys. You're so delicious. After eating, let's chat for a while."
Su Yao nodded with a faint smile. "Alright."
Housekeeper Xu helped the old man leave.
Su Yao turned around and smiled at Fu Jingchen.
Fu Jingchen helped her carry the food and said in a serious tone, "What are you laughing so foolishly for?"
"I helped you out today, waiting for your praise."
Fu Jingchen smirked and helped her carry some food: "Reward."
Su Yao pouted. "Isn't your reward a little too perfunctory?"
Fu Jingchen let out a low laugh and didn't say anything.
Lu Rui said to Su Yao, "Sister-in-law, you're so awesome. My brother is a man who doesn't like to laugh. But tonight, in this short period of time, he laughed several times because of you."
"Is there?" Su Yao looked at Fu Jingchen. "You're smiling."
Fu Jingchen glanced at her and said, "No, let's eat."
Lu Rui pursed her lips and said gently, "Big brother, sister-in-law, the more you two look at each other, the more compatible you two are. A man and a woman is created by the heavens."
Su Yao glanced at Fu Jingchen and thought, "If others knew why the couple got married, they probably wouldn't be able to say such words."
She said as she ate, "Actually, I know that I'm not worthy of him."
"How could that be?" "Of all the women I've met, you're the most suitable to be with my brother," Lu Rui said confidently.
After staring at Su Yao for a moment, Lu Rui asked, "Oh right, sister-in-law, have you and my brother been together for a long time?"
Su Yao shook her head. "It won't be long."
Lu Rui's voice was filled with curiosity, "That's strange."
Su Yao wondered, "What's wrong?"
"The first time I saw your picture on the news, I thought you looked so familiar, as if I'd seen you somewhere before."
Fu Jingchen raised his gaze to look at Lu Rui, his brows slightly raised...
