MTL - Group Pet Eldest Lady, She Just Wants To Be A Salted Fish-Chapter 49
Qi Zhiyan thought something happened to Ruan You, so she called immediately.
result-
"It's safe and sound, your grandfather didn't reprimand me."
Ruan You not only followed Qi Lao into Wu Youhua's house, but also drank Wu Youhua's water smoothly.
Qi Zhiyan: "?"
"what have you done?"
Ruan You was watching Teacher Wu Youhua's paintings, and Qi Lao was sitting on the sofa chatting with the couple and Wu Youhua. She walked to the corner and deliberately lowered her voice to explain: "Do you remember that I went abroad to help you buy a seven-star disk. "
"how?"
Ruan You: "I ran into a little problem during the auction. There was a couple who probably didn't like it out of liking, but simply didn't want the national treasure to be left outside. They bought the seven-star plate before me. I had an idea and used a little trick to buy the seven-star plate. "
"A brainstorm?"
Ruan You pursed her lips and said it a little embarrassedly: "I told the couple that your grandfather couldn't sleep all day and all night because of the Qixing disk, and he hid in the quilt and cried. This is roughly what it means."
Qi Zhiyan: ...
"Your little brain, don't think about it in the future."
Ruan You nodded like a typewriter, "It's easy to say anything, you come here first, and I'll send you the address."
Qi Zhiyan reminded her: "The matter has been resolved."
"77," Ruan You cautiously glanced at Elder Qi's direction, and said seriously, "It's not for me, you need to come here to comfort your grandpa."
"Old Qi was silent for ten minutes," Ruan You added.
Qi Zhiyan: ...
"77, Mr. Qi is a good man. He saved my face outside. But now everyone thinks he's an old crybag, pitiful, with all the filters broken. Why don't you come over here, in case he can't stand it later, He'll feel better with his granddaughter around."
Qi Zhiyan emphasized: "It's useless for me to go, you let Qi Nuo go."
"Qi Nuo is not as useful as you, he is useless, last time you gave the Seven Star Disk to Elder Qi, was he very happy." Ruan You whispered: "Am I right?"
Qi Zhiyan was momentarily at a loss for words.
On the night of Elder Qi's birthday, she put the gift in Elder Qi's study, and when Elder Qi saw it the next day, he was so excited that he called her back and sent a lot of gifts in return.
This was the first time Qi Zhiyan saw Elder Qi happy like a child, showing all his emotions and anger, completely different from the Elder Qi in her impression.
Ruan You lowered her voice, "77, don't underestimate your position in their hearts, I'm going to visit the paintings, come here quickly, I can't do without you!"
"No." Qi Zhiyan was firm, and hung up the phone without waiting for Ruan You to persuade her again.
In the office, Qi Zhiyan was staring at the black screen of the mobile phone in a daze, while the special assistant stood aside holding the documents.
The office was quiet, and the special assistant cautiously sounded out: "Mr. Qi, report..."
Qi Zhiyan frowned, "Continue."
Ten minutes later, after the report on the data of each sub-group this week was completed, the special assistant took out a small notebook and waited for Qi Zhiyan's instructions. Uncharacteristically, there was no reprimand, no opinion, not even—no voice?
Special Assistant: "...?"
Qi Zhiyan sat in a daze, holding the pen tightly with her slender fingertips, wondering what she was struggling with.
The special assistant asked in a low voice: "Mr. Qi, is there a problem?"
Qi Zhiyan: "Did I speak too seriously just now?"
Special Assistant:?
You didn't speak just now, she promises!
"It's really impolite to hang up her phone without waiting for her to speak." Qi Zhiyan frowned, and Ruan You's empty expression of staring blankly at the black screen after hanging up the phone appeared in his mind.
Special Assistant:?
You didn't even lift your eyelids after you hung up on your brother last time.
Qi Zhiyan turned off the computer and picked up the coat. The set of movements was smooth and smooth, and the special assistant quickly realized it.
"Mr. Qi, where are you going? Do you want to prepare a car for you?"
"No need." Qi Zhiyan buttoned up his coat, "There is no problem with the data, so don't follow me, I'll take care of some private matters."
She lowered her head, studied the messages on her mobile phone with a serious and confused face, stroked her slightly messy short hair, stepped back after taking two steps, pointed to the address sent by Ruan You, and asked in confusion, "Where is this?"
The always indifferent and domineering female tyrant crumpled into plain words, with a bit of cute confusion in her dominance.
Special Assistant: ...
Something is wrong with Mr. Qi, very wrong!
"Let me find the navigation." Qi Zhiyan waited for two seconds without waiting for an answer, turned off the phone and disappeared into the office.
Qi Zhiyan was always accompanied by assistants and drivers when going out, and rarely went out alone. The address Ruan You gave was too remote, and there was a small problem with the navigation. Two hours later, no one expected that Qi Zhiyan, the shrewd and capable overlord, would stare at the navigation.
she…
be lost.
Of course, she never admits that this is her own problem.
Qi Zhiyan parked the car on the side of the road, bent down close to the display screen, and focused on studying this broken navigation.
Elk Navigator?
A false taste of "inferior products" is revealed from the name.
Elk, lost.
It just so happened that Ruan You called.
"It's over here. Your grandfather didn't make things difficult for me, and he did me a big favor."
Qi Zhiyan, who was studying the display screen, froze slightly, retracted her hands from the display screen, sat up straight and let out a low "hmm".
Ruan You: "It's so noisy over there, are you outside now?"
Qi Zhiyan quickly raised the car window that was opened when she was asking for directions: "Come out and do something."
"Want dessert?" Ruan You asked.
Ruan You and Qi Laogang came out of Wu Youhua's house. She heard that there was a delicious dessert shop nearby, so she asked Wei Wen to stop the car, and she got out of the car to buy it herself, and Elder Qi followed.
He planned to buy some to send to 77.
Hearing Ruan You's question, Elder Qi visibly cheered up.
Ruan You understood in seconds, with a sweet voice: "Old Qi helped me, I want to treat him to dinner later, and send him home later, can you come with me? I'll go find you."
Elder Qi stared intently at the phone in Ruan You's hand, waiting with bated breath for his granddaughter's answer.
—If this matter is done properly, I will pretend that the random "rumours" outside have never happened.
Elder Qi spoke to Ruan You silently, with a serious expression.
Ruan You nodded heavily, made an "ok" gesture to him, turned her head and said seriously: "This matter is very important. Your grandpa said that if this matter is settled, I will write off the matter of him crying in the quilt."
Old Qi was at a loss for words, "You child, what do you mean by revealing! Will I cry?"
Ruan You ignored Qi Lao's "angry" rebuttal, and focused on making the phone call: "I found a very delicious private dessert shop, and I will send you some later."
Qi Zhiyan suddenly realized something, raised her eyes, and looked at the "Coke Dessert" facing her on the right, her head was buzzing, and the door was crowded with people, she immediately lowered her head, her face was level with the steering wheel, and asked in a low voice: "Which dessert is there?" what is it call?"
“Coke Dessert~”
! !
Qi Zhiyan hung up the phone quickly, for fear that Ruan You could hear something from the surrounding environment.
The fact that she came here and got lost must not be revealed.
In the rearview mirror on the co-pilot's side, Elder Qi and a young girl were walking towards the dessert shop. The girl was standing on the right side of Elder Qi. Qi Zhiyan couldn't see her face clearly, so she guessed it was Ruan You.
Qi Zhiyan poked her head out of the steering wheel cautiously, breathed a sigh of relief, and when she turned the car key and was about to drive away from the scene immediately—
Ruan You looked at the window of the driver's seat with a confused face.
"77, were you just... impersonating a thief?"
Qi Zhiyan: "..."
Not at all.
"Who is going in?"
Qi Zhiyan watched Ruan You get into the car stiffly, and asked stiffly.
"My housekeeper. I don't wear a mask, so I can't go to crowded places, but don't worry, I have introduced to Wei Wen one by one the desserts recommended on the Internet, and I bought and tried each one. Your grandfather said he would do it for you. You buy more, look at this line, you may have to wait for a long time."
Ruan You paused and explained: "At first I didn't ask your grandpa to get off the bus and line up, but he heard a pair of young uncles and aunts next to him say that it is very happy to buy snacks for his grandchildren, and he wanted to get off. I can't stop it either."
Qi Zhiyan frowned: "Then you should stop one more time, this line is very long."
"But Mr. Qi has never experienced the feeling of buying desserts for his grandchildren. Let him wait in a long line to experience it once, and release the emotions that have no place to rest. Wouldn't it be nice?"
I want to be friends with the younger generation, but I don't know how to do it.
During the long wait in line, it may give him the satisfaction of "doing something for his granddaughter". Even though Qi Zhiyan or Qi Nuo would never know about this kind of satisfaction, Ruan You didn't feel the need to let them know.
It is enough for Mr. Qi to satisfy himself and heal himself through a small gift link.
Qi Zhiyan didn't speak.
Ruan You took off the scarf, and her small mouth was so good. She didn't ask Qi Zhiyan why she appeared here, but said: "I think your grandpa is very cute. He tremblingly admitted that he was tossing and crying on the bed because of Qixingpan. With Wu Youhua, The painter I want to invite is very easy to talk to. Mr. Wu Youhua is not convinced by anyone and only listens to Mr. Qi. The two of them are funny. Wu Youhua heard that Mr. Qi was crying on the bed with his hands on his chest, thinking that Mr. Qi is an old crying bag , When I chatted with him today, my attitude was exceptionally good, and I lowered my voice, for fear of hurting the frail old crybag's heart."
"I heard that you give gifts every week. Have you ever considered giving some practical things like snacks in the future? You may even go home a few more times, with your hands in your pockets and empty hands~"
Qi Zhiyan heard it, but didn't take it to heart.
The situation of her family and Gu's family is very different. The old Qi in Ruan You's world will never be the grandfather she knew.
But it is undeniable that everyone likes Ruan You.
Being with her is very comfortable and relaxed.
Ruan You didn't ask why she appeared here, she seemed to know how to avoid hypocritical and embarrassing moments, ignore some problems that she didn't want to face, so that people can naturally accept everything now.
During this time, Qi Zhiyan vaguely felt that Ruan You was running around and working hard for her and her family.
Knowing that she has a bad relationship with her family, Ruan You took her to play five rows together, told Qi Nuo that she was bullied by the people in the barrage live broadcast room, and openly teased her and her brother in the game.
Emphasizing over and over again that her brother is very good to her, the world may not be what she thinks.
No one does not want to have a harmonious family. Qi Zhiyan dreamed of it when she was studying abroad, and she also dreamed of it when she was alone during the holidays.
The road of heir is destined to be full of loneliness. When choosing this road, Qi Zhiyan had already seen the future.
Either marry or die single.
As for the friendship envied by others, it will all become the product of commercial interests.
Qi Zhiyan's friendship with Gu Fuchen, Lu Jin, Jiang Huai, Fu Jiazhan and others is mediocre. The four big men had a good friendship before. She just returned to China four years ago, so she rarely met Wen Juxi and Lu Xuan. The famous ladies are just nodding acquaintances.
However, in the social circle, Qi Zhiyan had a very high status.
The position of the Qi family is here, and there are many people who compliment her.
Qi Zhiyan doesn't like friendships that are polite on the surface but intrigue behind the scenes. Except for the social activities that must be attended, the rest of the time is at work.
She was too lazy to deal with her family, too lazy to make friends, she stood on the periphery of the social circle, watching other people form a circle to keep each other warm. During this process, from time to time someone came over with a smile and asked her if she wanted to join the carnival.
She was scared and overwhelmed, and refused all requests indifferently and alienated.
Qi Zhiyan is not afraid of not having friends.
The fear is that you have worked hard, but you still haven't made friends.
When Elder Qi saw Qi Zhiyan, he patted Ruan You on the shoulder excitedly.
They had dinner together at night, most of the time Qi Zhiyan kept a good silence, quietly listening to Ruan You chatting with Qi Lao.
On the way, Qi Zhiyan went out of the box to answer the phone, and Mr. Qi couldn't be happier.
"How did you fool her here?"
Ruan You took a sip of the soup, and disapproved of the word "fudge" very much: "I think she wanted it from the bottom of her heart, but 77 is thin-skinned and putting on airs, so I'm sorry."
"If you want her to go home for dinner in the future, you need to be good at using some tricks."
Elder Qi regained his spirit: "Tell me, tell me in detail."
"Since the character set of you hiding under the blanket and crying has been spread, you can take advantage of the momentum to pursue it, making out of nothing, pointing and cursing, if you really can't do it, come up with a set of tricks, thirty-six tricks are the best."
Elder Qi was silent for two seconds.
Did not understand.
"To explain, you're so shameless, no matter what, you tell everyone you're in a bad mood recently, talk about going home often, and reprimand Qin Nuo from time to time. Let's go home."
Old Qi realized.
In a word, learn to cheat.
Wei Wen's head grew dizzy from listening.
One dares to teach and the other dares to listen.
"Anyway, your character design has collapsed now, and it's okay to collapse a little bit. Look at my brother. People all over the country know what a fool he is. A naive elementary school student who participated in the sign-in competition, even so, goes to work every day, and is happy after work. "Ruan You is very proud, "And we have a very good relationship now. Qi Zhiyan is already indifferent, if you still hold it, the two icebergs will look at each other, and it will be even more difficult for you to have a good relationship with your granddaughter."
Ruan You emphasized: "There must be someone who learns to be ashamed, to let go of his posture for the sake of his family, and not to be ashamed."
Elder Qi pondered for a long time, and after a while, he thought of something and asked, "You said you invited Wu Youhua in the afternoon to prepare a gift?"
Ruan You subconsciously looked at Wei Wen.
Wei Wen understood in seconds: "I'll ask why the chicken soup hasn't arrived yet."
After she left, there were only Ruan You and Qi Lao in the box.
Ruan You clutched her teacup and frowned slightly: "I think my brother treats me too well."
When she knew that the "only brother" was Gu Fuchen, this thought came to her mind.
She felt that Gu Fu Chen had no self.
His life almost revolves around her.
Ruan You didn't understand what happened to Gu Fuchen in the past twenty years. He once had a dream, but later the paintings on the wall were all about him being unhappy, and he didn't know where the dream went.
Everyone seems to be happy, and the contradictions are hidden and slowly accumulated, just like a calm sea, the surface is calm, but the inside is rough.
Ruan You can't say these things to other people, parents can't, Lu Xuan can't, others don't understand, Lu Ming is doing the final sprint for the postgraduate entrance examination, after much deliberation, Elder Qi has become the only person she confides to.
"They were too nice to me."
Ruan You once thought that this world would not stop after leaving, and for the first time after returning home, she had the idea that "if she is not here, my parents and brothers must be very sad".
Old Qi sighed softly: "It's easy to worry about gains and losses when you lose and regain."
At the same time, the Jiang family was not peaceful at all.
Tomorrow is the anniversary of Jianghuai's mother's death. Jianghuai made arrangements to get off work early and planned to drive to the southernmost place to worship his mother Qiao Wen.
Qiao Wen chose to be buried at sea, but Qiao's family didn't listen. Half of them were buried at sea, and the other half were buried on a high mountain near the sea. Jianghuai will go there every year after he becomes an adult.
Lao Jiang obviously forgot about this matter, he and Jiang Wei are planning the Yawei car company.
Since talking to Gu Youqian yesterday, Mr. Jiang no longer cares about the old relationship at all. He must pave a way for his son Jiang Wei and give Jiang Wei the well-built Jiang family.
Currently, Jianghuai is in the hands of Jianghuai, mostly because Jianghuai owns 14% of Jianghuai's shares. At the same time, the three major shareholders of the group all support Jianghuai. Lao Jiang and Jiang Weijia together have 17%, because they do not have the support of shareholders, and the shares are useless in their hands.
In the past two years when Jiang Wei was abroad, Lao Jiang was not in a hurry about the ownership of the property. Now that he is back, Jianghuai's position is becoming more and more stable, which inevitably makes Lao Jiang very anxious.
Now is the best chance to take it back.
If all resources can be used to win the Bozhan car company & Yawei cooperation case that Jianghuai cannot win, Jiang Wei's road will be much easier.
President Lao Jiang and Jiang Wei met with the three major shareholders, and introduced the cooperation case and profit data of Bozhan Automobile Company & Yawei to them one by one.
Jiang Huai received these messages when he was off work.
He ignored it, put on his coat and entered the elevator expressionlessly.
In the evening, it was past eight o'clock when Ruan You came home, and she told Gu Fuchen and her mother that she would be back later.
Gu Fu Chen carried a small bag and was about to go out. A black Bentley was parked at the entrance of the mansion. Lu Xuan put the luggage in the trunk of the Bentley, and took small bites of jackfruit in her hand.
Ruan You looked left and right, her face was dazed.
Brother and Lu Xuan have never had much contact with each other, so why do they want to go out together?
"Where are you going?"
Ruan Liuyu explained: "Tomorrow is the anniversary of Jianghuai's mother's death. Fu Chen will go to pay respects every year. Lu Xuan will go there for Lu Jin who is still busy abroad."
Gu Fuchen: "Every year, a few of our friends will accompany him and drive to City B day and night at night, talking on the way."
A few years ago, Jiang Huai would drink every time he met this day. Gu Fuchen, Lu Jin, and Fu Jiazhan proposed to spend the night before and the day of his death with him every year in order to make him drink less and think less.
Time flies faster when you have friends by your side.
Ruan You raised her hand, "I want to go too!"
Ruan Liuyu frowned: "They won't sleep this night, and drive to the southernmost point day and night, where Jianghuai's mother is buried."
"It's okay, there is always a chance to sleep."
Gu Fuchen: "I'll be a little tired."
"It's all trivial, bro, wait for me. I'll pack up my clothes and come down right away. Lu Xuan, leave half of the strawberries and desserts for me. I bought the desserts you gave me last time today."
"Hee hee hee good."
Ruan You's back quickly disappeared at the elevator entrance.
Gu Fuchen: "Let Ruan Ruan go, Auntie will be happy to know that Ruan Ruan is back home."
Ruan Liuyu didn't stop her anymore, and after Ruan You got into the car, she asked a few more words: "Don't be too tired, Ruan Ruan, just look at your brother, let Fu Jiazhan drive alternately with him, take a rest when you are tired, and don't drive tired. No, take the two drivers there."
Ruan You sat in the back row with Lu Xuan, and Lu Xuan sat by the window.
"Mom, I know. I have a driver's license. Now that the time is up, I can go on the highway."
"Don't worry, Auntie, with me here, sister Yoyo will be fine."
Ruan Liuyu: "It's because of you that my aunt is not at ease."
Lu Xuan: ...
snort!
no more love.
It was the first time for Ruan You and Lu Xuan to participate in the activity of "Don't sleep at night, drive to city B". On the way to Jianghuai's house, Lu Xuan was very excited.
"If I treat this as an instant trip, will Brother Jiang Huai scold me for being heartless?"
Gu Fuchen: "So many people accompany him just to keep him from thinking too much. If you can be heartless, it will save Fu Jiazhan and I from racking our brains to tease him."
In the past, this kind of task was done by Lu Xuan's brother Lu Jin.
Now the younger sister inherits the brother's business, saving Gu Fu Chen from all the hard work.
Everyone doesn't want to be too heavy for a worship.
I prefer to think of this as a small gathering among friends.
Jiang Huai and Fu Jiazhan were waiting for them at Jiang's house. When they saw the car coming, they put their luggage in the trunk. Jiang Huai carried two food boxes and was not surprised to see Ruan You at all.
"Auntie Ruan called just now and said that Princess Lu and Miss Ruan are also here. The arrival of the two of you has made me more radiant and more face-saving. Don't be hungry on the way to prepare the food boxes for you. After returning Remember to give me a good review in front of Aunt Ruan."
Lu Xuan grinned: "It's the first time I travel at night, and it took me so long."
"Can I watch the sunrise later?" Ruan You was curious.
Fu Jiazhan put the suitcase in the trunk, opened the rear door to get in the car, nodded and said: "Yes, there will be sunrise around the time in L City."
Seeing Fu Jiazhan, Lu Xuan bowed politely and shouted, "Brother Jiazhan is good."
Fu Jiazhan was abroad a few days ago and only came back in the last few days.
Jiang Huai chuckled: "Lu Xuan, is your mouth so sweet today?"
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "Brother said, he, Gu Fuchen and brother Jiazhan used to drive together, and they did all the hard work. Now that my brother is not here, Gu Fuchen will definitely not help. My brother told me to be sweeter." , be nice to elder brother Jiazhan, so that he can do double things."
Jiang Huai laughed gloatingly.
Gu Fuchen, who was driving the young masters, eldest ladies, and little princesses, was very dissatisfied.
He is serving them now, why should he discredit him in front of his sister!
Fu Jiazhan:?
"Don't spread rumors."
Sweet talk won't impress him.
Ruan You was in trouble.
She didn't meet Fu Jiazhan many times, and she almost never greeted her formally. Now Lu Xuan greeted her well. Although she had bad intentions, she greeted Fu Jiazhan with courtesy.
Fu Jiazhan sat behind the driver's seat, Ruan You sat in the middle of the back row, and Lu Xuan sat behind the co-pilot's seat. The rear seat of this commercial vehicle is very large, and it is also very spacious for three people, so they won't be embarrassed by touching hands.
Although she kept a close distance from Fu Jiazhan, Ruan You got a headache when she thought of sitting like this for another eight or nine hours, so she definitely had to say hello.
With Lu Xuan's sweet address in front, it seems too polite to call her by her full name.
Ruan You scratched her head and said politely, "Brother Fu Jiazhan, it's my first time here with Lu Xuan, so I will trouble you later."
Surprise flashed across Fu Jiazhan's long and narrow eyes, and he hurriedly said, "It's all trivial, nothing."
Gu Fuchen in the driver's seat fastened his seat belt, turned around with a frown, and said to Ruan You, "Don't call him brother, you only have one brother."
Ruan You: ...
Jianghuai agrees very much.
"Don't be too polite to him, Sister Bodhisattva, this title is inappropriate."
Ruan You was stunned for a while, then asked in a daze: "Then what should I be called?"
— Isn’t brother an honorific title?
Jiang Huai pondered for a moment, and then said for a while: "Hey, who is this, hey, who is that, the names that are neither far nor near, these are appropriate."
Fu Jiazhan:?
Are you polite?
