Chapter 96: A Smart One
“Grandma, Elder Brother, Sister-in-law. ”
Fu Tingyan sat down next to the old madam and greeted everyone one by one. When he looked at Xu Wei, he paused. “Sister Xu Wei is here too. ”
Xu Wei smiled at Fu Tingyan and nodded. “Yes, come and sit with Grandma. ”
The old madam looked at her grandson who had suddenly appeared. Why was this rascal here too?
“The Fu family is on good terms with the Xu family. Xu Wei is also Xiao Yu’s classmate. She has two doctorates now. There will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future. Get out there more and get to know more people.”
Xu Wei smiled shyly. “Grandma, you must be joking. I have a lot of things to learn from Tingyu. ”
Qin Shu ate a mouthful of food and glanced at the old madam. Was she looking for a mistress for Fu Tingyu?
Although the old madam didn’t say it explicitly, it was obvious that she liked Xu Wei very much.
Her previous actions caused Fu Tingyu to get hurt because of her. Furthermore, she was also a lousy student who had failed the college entrance examination twice. There was a world of difference between her and Xu Wei, who was gentle, virtuous, and had the title of a talented woman.
Fu Tingyu lowered his eyes and slowly ate the food in front of him with the chopsticks in his hands. He raised his foot and stepped on Fu Tingyan’s foot.
Fu Tingyan had just picked up his chopsticks and wanted to eat the braised pork ribs that he had been coveting for a long time when he felt a pain on the back of his foot. He turned his head and glanced at his brother, only to find that he was slowly eating with his eyes lowered.
Fu Tingyan had grown up with his brother and the tacit understanding between the two of them was also very well trained.
Sometimes, his brother did not want to face Grandma head-on, so he let Fu Tingyan be cannon fodder.
So Fu Tingyan immediately understood what her brother meant.
Fu Tingyan looked up at the old madam. “Grandma, Bro has a sister-in-law now. If you ask Elder Sister Xu Wei and Bro to work so closely, Sister-in-law will be jealous.”
Hearing that, Qin Shu looked up at Fu Tingyan. She didn’t expect him to help her.
But what he had said spoke to her heart.
The old madam looked at her grandson. Didn’t this kid hate Qin Shu? He actually spoke up for her?
Would Qin Shu be jealous?
“What do you know? Working together is considered normal social interaction.”
Xu Wei glanced at Qin Shu and smiled faintly. “Grandma is right. This is considered normal social interaction. How would Qin Shu be as petty as you say?”
Qin Shu opened her mouth, wanting to say that she minded very much.
However, Grandma was present. If she said that, Grandma would definitely think that she was petty and failed to see the big picture.
In addition to what happened in the past, Grandma would definitely think that she was deliberately seeking trouble, trying to make Fu Tingyu unhappy.
She endured it and didn’t say anything in the end.
Fu Tingyu slowly chewed the food in his mouth. He glanced at the girl sitting next to him who was silent. The corners of his mouth curled up with a hint of self-mockery. Would she be jealous?
Fu Tingyan glanced at Qin Shu. That gaze seemed to be saying, Can’t you say that you would be jealous?
Seeing that no one was talking, Fu Tingyan lowered his head and prepared to eat. In the end, the back of his foot hurt again. His brother had stepped on his foot again.
He couldn’t help but grumble in his heart, ‘If your woman doesn’t say that she’s jealous, would it be useful for me to say it? Huh?’
Fu Tingyan raised his head helplessly and looked at the old madam. He said reluctantly, “Grandma, even if Sister-in-law understands the big picture and doesn’t mind, Elder Sister Xu Wei is still single. If she and Bro get too close and people misunderstand, she won’t be able to find a boyfriend. That would be bad. ”
Fu Tingyan felt that he was speaking against his conscience.
Qin Shu understands the big picture?
Hah!
However, it was true that Xu Wei wouldn’t be able to find a boyfriend.
That was because the people in the outside world misunderstood and thought that Xu Wei was his brother’s girlfriend. Who would dare to snatch his brother’s girlfriend?
When Qin Shu heard this, she realized that Fu Xiaogui was really too cute. She couldn’t help but clap because of what he had just said.
