Chi Gui: ...
Is this kid missing a screw? frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
But the scene was already a bit awkward, Chi Gui glanced at Old Sir Fu’s collectibles in the living room and said, "I can’t tell exactly, but it definitely isn’t as expensive as the Jade Plate that Grandpa Fu keeps on the second shelf."
As she spoke, everyone looked toward Old Sir Fu’s second display shelf.
When they saw the Jade Plate, which was only the size of an ashtray, Yaoyu Han chuckled softly, "Then you’re mistaken. My jade carving is from..."
She introduced her jade carving in very professional detail.
Everyone in the living room, including the butler, thought that the value of this jade carving was more than ten times that of the Jade Plate.
Only Old Sir Fu looked deeply into Chi Gui’s eyes.
That Jade Plate was something he had acquired from an international jade festival years ago, and unless it was an expert at the master level, it wasn’t easy to see the value of the Jade Plate.
Fu Si wasn’t listening at all; he had wanted to interrupt impatiently as soon as Yaoyu Han started speaking, but just as he was about to speak, Chi Gui gently shook her head to stop him.
Yaoyu Han was clueless, but Chi Gui didn’t want to embarrass Old Sir Fu.
Although Old Sir Fu felt a bit displeased, he wouldn’t reckon with a child. After Yaoyu Han had finished showing off, he instructed the butler to put the jade carving away.
...without even telling him where to place it.
Yaoyu Han couldn’t discern the underlying meaning, but the butler understood and couldn’t help shaking his head inwardly.
Old Sir Fu was in his study dealing with official matters. After hearing Granny Fu’s complaint, he didn’t rush, only slowly replied, "Do you know whom that boy brought home last night?"
Granny Fu: "It shouldn’t matter whom he brought home, he can’t neglect Miss Yao like that! The poor girl was waiting so pitifully..."
Old Sir Fu interrupted her, "He brought Miss Chi."
"That Miss Chi doesn’t..." Granny Fu suddenly stunned, after a while, somewhat incredulously asked, "Who? Miss Chi? The one from the Expert Group at the research institute? But wasn’t the boy uninterested in her?"
"You don’t know how eagerly he’s pursuing her now!" Old Sir Fu laughed, sipping his tea, "That phrase ’courting like a crematorium’ on the internet describes him exactly."
Granny Fu didn’t understand those internet phrases, but understood the first part.
Her lips also uncontrollably curled into a smile, murmuring, "Ah, it’s Miss Chi... then, there’s nothing we can do... although Miss Yao really is quite pitiable... but that boy really should be colder to other women..."
Old Sir Fu listened to Granny Fu’s clearly double-standard comments and didn’t say a word.
