Chapter 116: Chapter 116: Brought Back to the Old Residence
“Why are you moving back in? One of you doesn’t have a wife, and the other’s husband isn’t at ho. No matter how big the house is, you’re bound to run into each other often, and you don’t seem to know how to avoid suspicion.” Qiu Yurou naturally disagreed.
“…” Gu Cheng could only look at Su ixi with sympathy.
Su ixi laughed, “Big brother, you’re busy with work, it’s better for you to live outside. It’s fine with at ho, I will take good care of our mom.”
In her tone, she had already considered Gu Cheng as part of the family.
Gu Cheng could only say, “Then I will co ho to eat often.”
Qiu Yurou rolled her eyes at Gu Cheng, “If you’ve got nothing to do, then don’t co back. The company needs you, and besides, if you have ti, you should get a girlfriend. Xiao Su is your brother’s wife!”
...
“I wouldn’t dare start a relationship, in case you didn’t like her and then tried to split us up later. That would be exhausting.”
“You’ll be 37 after the New Year; what more can I expect from you? It would be good enough if soone was willing to marry you.”
Gu Cheng was left without a coback, and could only agree with his mother, “Yes, Mom, you’re right about everything. Mom, can I stay for lunch today?”
“If you want to eat, eat. No one is stopping you.”
…
Su ixi was arranged to stay on the third floor, in the room that once belonged to Gu Wei.
The house was very large, with a small garden on the third floor, as well as a maid’s room, study, gym, recreation room, etc., and everything was spotless.
Her luggage was placed in the room, but no servants ca up to help her sort it out.
She didn’t mind; she would just arrange it herself.
Right after she had finished arranging her things, a plump auntie in her fifties ca calling for her in a sowhat condescending tone, “Madam Su, are you ready?”
Su ixi had seen this auntie when she entered, Qiu Yurou called her Mdm. Zhang, and she was very familiar with Qiu Yurou.
If Qiu Yurou was the empress, then this Mdm. Zhang was Grandma Rong!
“I’m ready. Is there sothing you need?” Su ixi asked politely.
“The lady has asked you to go down and cook.”
“Go down and cook?” With such a big house, shouldn’t there be a chef?
Mdm. Zhang smiled contemptuously, “The chef had so matters and went ho today. As the daughter-in-law of the lady of the house, going down to cook a al for her is nothing to question, right?”
Su ixi thought: This was just a way to make things difficult for her.
But she didn’t get angry, simply saying, “Alright, if Mom wants to eat the al made by her daughter-in-law, then I will make it.”
…
Su ixi went downstairs to see Qiu Yurou sitting in the living room, with Gu Cheng nowhere in sight, probably driven away.
She went over and asked, “Mom, what would you like to eat today?”
Qiu Yurou, occupied with a tablet playing so casual gas, didn’t even look up, “Whatever you know how to make.”
“Okay.”
Su ixi reminded herself internally: She must endure!
For Gu Wei’s sake, she could do it!
The kitchen was not far from the living room. She walked into the kitchen and saw a wardrobe-sized refrigerator, filled with all sorts of ingredients, neatly arranged and so even labeled with what they were and the date they arrived, such as fish from Hokkaido, lobster from Australia, bird’s nest from Thailand.
Su ixi couldn’t handle these fancy ingredients; she only knew how to cook hostyle dishes.
She stir-fried so hot pepper with sliced pork, fried a fish, and stead an egg foo young, then brought them out on a tray.
After setting the dishes, she went to call Qiu Yurou, “Mom, dinner is ready.”
Qiu Yurou ca over.
First, she glanced at the dishes on the table.
They were ordinary hostyle dishes, but they looked appetizing. The fish was fried without falling apart and garnished with green onions, actually quite tempting.
“Mom, please have a seat,” Su ixi offered the chopsticks as well.
Qiu Yurou sat down, took the chopsticks and bowl, tasting a little of this dish and a bit of that.
Even though the flavors were quite alright, she slamd down her chopsticks, “Such disgusting food, didn’t you taste it yourself first? Even pigs might refuse to eat this.”
Su ixi reminded herself again, she must endure.
She smiled and said, “Mom, Gu Wei really likes the dishes I make.”
Qiu Yurou: “…”
Su ixi continued with an apologetic smile, “Mom, I’ve tried my best with this dish. It might not suit your taste. How about this, what would you like to eat? I can order you so takeout?”
“Takeout? Which takeout would dare deliver to my place?” Qiu Yurou rolled her eyes.
“Then what should we do? Or… can you cook it yourself?”
Mdm. Zhang, standing by, angrily said, “How could you let your mother-in-law cook? If she’s not satisfied with your cooking, can’t you just make another dish?”
Su ixi was so angry she felt like smoke was coming out of her chest.
If it were any other ti, she probably would have slamd the door and left.
This house, whoever loves to co, let them co.
But as soon as she thought of Gu Wei, thought of those happy days they spent in Wu Bian Town, thought of how he repeatedly took risks for her, she told herself she must endure!
A smile once again appeared on her face, and she said calmly, “Mom, I don’t quite understand your taste, but Mdm. Zhang should, so maybe let Mdm. Zhang cook for you. Ah, I still have things upstairs that I haven’t sorted out, I need to continue organizing.”
After speaking, she turned and went upstairs.
“You…” Mdm. Zhang couldn’t call her back.
Mdm. Zhang had no choice but to ask Qiu Yurou, “Madam, she’s gone upstairs, what should we do?”
Qiu Yurou coldly laughed and said, “It’s okay, I have plenty of chances to deal with her.”
“What about this food…”
“Throw it away!”
“This…” Mdm. Zhang hasn’t eaten today.
She usually eats the als cooked by the ho’s chef.
Now that the chef and other servants have left, she has to cook for herself.
Qiu Yurou said, “I’m in a bad mood, I’ll go out for a while. You watch that woman at ho. If she does anything, inform .”
“Okay!”
After Qiu Yurou left, Mdm. Zhang took the dishes Su ixi had cooked to the kitchen but didn’t throw them away; instead, she ate them herself.
The taste was actually quite good, the flavor of soone who had been cooking since childhood.
But it wouldn’t make sense for a girl from such a household to not know how to cook.
…
Su ixi wasn’t hungry herself.
Before cooking, she knew Qiu Yurou would definitely make things difficult for her, so she had eaten in advance.
There were so many things in the fridge, so of which could be eaten directly, so just needed to be ward up.
Now she was lying in the room Gu Wei had lived in as a child, flipping through the album on the bedside table.
Back then, many photos were printed out and put into albums.
In the photos, there were Gu Wei’s father, grandma, grandpa, and others.
Gu Wei’s father was also a military man, very much like Gu Wei in appearance, both tall and handso.
As she looked, she reflected: Is it that such n all had to be devoted to the country?
She wondered how Gu Wei was doing now. Was he on a dangerous mission?
…
Wu Bian Town.
The New Year was fast approaching. There wasn’t much to do in the town’s hospital, so Bi Yuanhang was transferred to the county hospital to help for a while.
He missed Weina, so every two days, he would hitch a ride back.
Today, he walked into Weina’s room and gave her a box.
“What’s this?” Weina asked.
“A Little New Year’s Eve gift,” said Bi Yuanhang.
Weina opened it and saw a delicate pink agate bracelet.
She liked it very much at first sight, but still asked, “Why are you giving this to ?”
