From the time he returned to Yanjing for the New Year last year to the first time he returned to Baicheng, he went to Huangpu to deal with the poisonous widow's family affairs. Although Chu He would occasionally go to Xiaoshan Villa for dinner during this period. But in these four months, Chu He met the robot aunt twice.
You can count them on your hands. In addition, the Empress Dowager Xiao is not a talkative person. Chu He does not dare to talk to this robot aunt. Therefore, although the two meet occasionally, they do not talk too much. At the dinner table, they just
Chat casually about trivial matters and ask if the food tastes good and what you would like to eat next time.
Speaking of which, Chu He hasn't had a heart-to-heart talk with this robot aunt for a long time.
But in fact, has he ever had an in-depth chat with the robot aunt?
Parked the car in the parking lot next to the main building. Just as Chuhe was about to open the door, Muzi opened the door with great discernment, winked and said, "Welcome home, young master."
When Chu He saw this, he laughed and scolded: "Why don't you go back to work? After I take over the power, guys like you who only know how to flatter people all day long will have to resign one after another."
Muzi hurriedly begged for mercy: "Young master, I am loyal to Xiaoshan Villa without any second thoughts. Your words are too hurtful. I am so sad——"
Muzi pretended to wipe away tears, making the misunderstood loyal minister vivid and vivid.
"Hahaha."
After finishing the pretense, Chu He swaggered into the main hall. He was about to go to the robot aunt's study. He saw the robot aunt wearing black-rimmed glasses and dressed in an old-fashioned way. He was talking to a middle-aged man in a straight suit in the side
The meeting was held in the living room. I couldn’t help but move to the living room and wait, and I didn’t interrupt.
The servants poured tea and snacks for the young master who had never seen him before. They were busy for half an hour. The middle-aged man who was in a hurry was just sent out of the side hall. Only when he saw Chu He sitting in the living room waiting.
, he turned around and smiled at Chu He: "This gentleman is Mr. Xiao's grandson, Mr. Chu He, right?"
When Chu He saw this, he didn't lose his aunt's face. He stood up in a hurry and said, "You are too polite. Just call me Xiao Chu."
"You wouldn't dare." The middle-aged man said with a smile. "Boss Xiao is our big customer. If I offend you, I'm afraid I won't even be able to eat in the future."
Chu He smiled and dealt with this unknown guy casually.
After he left, Chu He walked towards the taciturn robot aunt. He asked curiously: "Who is that person?"
"Cunning person." Empress Dowager Xiao took off her glasses, ordered the servants to cook, and then walked towards the study first. Chu He followed her step by step and walked towards the quiet and cold corridor.
When he was very young, Chu He hated this cold corridor that ran through the living room, study room, and master bedroom. I don’t know if it was a feng shui problem or a layout reason. This unpopular corridor was in Xiaoshan Villa, which is warm in winter and cool in summer.
It seems extremely lonely. It is not even a smooth road. The further you go in, the higher the slope becomes.
Of course, this is a problem that Chuhe only discovered on the day his grandfather passed away after traveling for more than 20 years.
The slope is very subtle. If you don't pay attention, it will be difficult to detect this subtle phenomenon. Chu He has never been the kind of legendary figure who is observant. If it weren't for his extremely poor mental state that day and his weak and weak feet, it would be difficult to detect it.
Twenty-seven steps.
Chu He silently counted his aunt's steps. As usual, the robot aunt took twenty-seven steps to complete this cold walk day after day, and then turned into the cold, stiff and boring study.
"What to drink?" Queen Mother Xiao asked after sitting down.
"No need." Chu He shook his head with a smile and sat opposite his aunt.
Empress Dowager Xiao nodded lightly and said nothing.
Chu He didn't know what topic to use as an entry point, and the two of them fell into a deathly silence.
This is the main reason why Chu He has never been able to have a lively chat with his robot aunt. She doesn't want to say more, and he doesn't dare to say more. In fact, Chu He always likes to dress himself in an old-fashioned direction when faced with this.
When I'm a woman, my brain always doesn't work well. Even my usual sharp tongue seems particularly weak.
After a short and awkward silence, Queen Mother Xiao unexpectedly broke the silence first, raised her emotionless eyes and said, "I want to go to New York."
Chu He was startled at first, and then asked curiously: "Auntie, you usually don't even want to leave Baicheng. Why do you want to go abroad this time?"
"Work." Queen Mother Xiao replied simply.
"Can't you arrange for someone else to go?" Chu He asked curiously.
"It's inconvenient." Queen Mother Xiao shook her head.
"How long will it take?" Chu He asked with some doubts.
"I don't know." Empress Dowager Xiao said.
"——"
Not getting a detailed answer to each question, Chu He was a little discouraged and said: "Auntie, what will happen to Xiaoshan Villa when you leave?"
"It can't fall." Empress Dowager Xiao said calmly.
Chu He laughed dumbly: "Of course it won't fail. It's just that without you in Xiaoshan Villa, I always feel that something is missing."
"What?" Queen Mother Xiao asked.
"I can't tell." Chu He shook his head helplessly. "I won't have anyone to accompany me to dinner from now on."
"Muzi has a big appetite," said Empress Dowager Xiao.
Chu He was startled, then couldn't help but ask: "Can I go?"
"able."
"——"
In fact, Chu He just asked casually, or - she felt that her aunt was a little strange today. At least she was not as normal as usual. That's why she asked such a question. In normal times, Chu He certainly wouldn't want to live with her aunt.
There are too many intersections, especially at work——
This probably originated from the fact that he was always worried that his aunt would find a way to kidnap Xiaoshan Villa to him, so he developed an inexplicable repulsion.
But—aunt, isn’t this too straightforward?
Chu He was stunned, and then asked helplessly: "Auntie, you still didn't tell me what to do."
"I said it." Empress Dowager Xiao said simply, "Work."
"Discussing business?" Chu He asked. "Or signing a contract?"
"None of them." Queen Mother Xiao shook her head.
"What is that?" Chu He asked unexpectedly.
"I'll tell you if you go." Empress Dowager Xiao went beyond the norm and tried to show off her secrets.
"——" Chu He suddenly felt that the robot aunt was so cute for the first time, and so unlovable for the first time. This was a very complicated emotion, but it existed very real in Chu He's mind. He opened his mouth, and for a long time
Just now he said, "Auntie, do you want me to go?"
"Hope." Queen Mother Xiao nodded.
"Why?" Chu He asked curiously.
"Because you should go." Empress Dowager Xiao said meaningfully. "If you go, you will know a lot of things you don't know."
Chu He pretended to be surprised and said in disbelief: "Could it be that I am not grandpa's grandson, but someone else?"
"Nonsense."
Empress Dowager Xiao frowned, very unhappy.
This is her reverse scale. No matter what kind of joke Chu He makes, she can tolerate it. Except for his bloodline and identity. In this regard, Queen Mother Xiao has never been a woman who can afford to joke. Even if the joker is Chu He.
