Hearing what Lin Caiqing said, Gu Niannian was ready to take the candied fruit's hand and give it a slap.
She suddenly felt a little nervous.
Wen Tingyu’s father…
I don't know if Wen Tingyu's father will like me, if he is as easy to get in touch with as Lin Caiqing, or if he is as difficult to deal with as Mr. Wen.
Lin Caiqing saw Gu Niannian's nervousness, and patted Gu Niannian's hand: "Niannian, don't be nervous. Although Tingyu's father is majestic, it's not as difficult to talk to him as you think. He will definitely like you.
"
Gu Niannian smiled, her heart still beating a little.
After a moment, she suddenly stood up as if she had imagined something: "By the way, I'm going to the kitchen to make something."
"Not full?" Lin Caiqing looked at Gu Niannian.
Gu Niannian shook her head: "I just saw that the old man didn't eat anything for dinner. I want to cook some porridge for him to drink later. The old man is too full and too hungry at night. It's best to drink some porridge."
Surprise flashed in Lin Caiqing's and Wen Tian's eyes.
None of them expected that Mr. Wen was so prejudiced against Gu Niannian, and that Gu Niannian still remembered to cook porridge for the old man.
"Nian Nian, it's hard for you." Lin Caiqing said happily.
Wen Tian also added: "Nian Nian, you are really thoughtful, but it's a pity that my grandpa didn't know that you are so kind."
"Yes, the old man will always know." Lin Caiqing said.
Gu Niannian smiled: "Then I'll go make porridge first."
＊＊＊＊
When the porridge was more than half cooked, Mr. Wen walked out.
I just had a somewhat unhappy chat with Wen Tingyu.
His attitude was very resolute, but Wen Tingyu's attitude was even more resolute than him.
Mr. Wen felt agitated in his heart.
He didn't eat much for dinner and was a little hungry, so he walked out of the study to see if there was anything to eat.
As soon as he walked out, Wen Tian saw him: "Master, you are out. Are you hungry?"
Mr. Wen raised his eyebrows.
Could it be that Wen Tian was just a roundworm in his stomach, and he knew he was hungry.
"You're so clever, how did you know I was hungry?"
Wen Tian immediately said like a treasure: "I didn't guess that you were hungry, old man. It was sister-in-law Nian Nian who guessed that you were hungry, so she went to the kitchen to give you porridge now. Old man, isn't Nian Nian particularly good?"
Mr. Wen was stunned.
Here Lin Caiqing also said: "The old man was thoughtful. She noticed that you didn't eat much for dinner and thought that you would be hungry later. And at your age, you don't want to eat much at night, so she went to make it for you.
Congee, she can be considered filial."
There was emotion flashing in Mr. Wen's eyes.
That woman who met Gu Niannian was so thoughtful?
Gu Niannian also walked out of the kitchen here. The porridge was almost done and she had just turned off the heat.
Seeing Gu Niannian come out, Wen Tian immediately stood up: "Niannian, have your porridge been cooked? You really guessed it right. My grandpa is really hungry. Why don't you come out to look for something to eat? Why don't you tell me?"
Bring out your porridge."
As soon as Gu Niannian heard this, she ran to the kitchen.
She was a little anxious and didn't wear gloves, so she just took it out with her hands. When she put the porridge on the coffee table, her hands were burned red.
After the porridge was placed on the coffee table, Gu Niannian suddenly hit her head.
She forgot how to put the porridge on the coffee table. It should be placed on the dining table.
Gu Niannian said sheepishly: "Mr. Wen, please wait, I'll bring it to the table for you."
Here, Mr. Wen's eyes fell on Gu Niannian's slightly red and swollen hands.
A strange emotion suddenly arose in his heart.
"No need." Mr. Wen said in a low voice, "I'll just eat here."
After saying that, Mr. Wen really just sat on the sofa.
The taste of the porridge was unexpectedly good. Mr. Wen ate it in one bite. Gu Niannian had spent a lot of time preparing the porridge.
There are two types of porridge.
One is to just let the porridge cook on its own, which will make the porridge taste worse.
Another way is to keep stirring with a spoon while cooking, so that the porridge tastes very good.
The porridge in front of me was obviously cooked using the latter method.
In fact, there was absolutely no need for Gu Niannian to do this. She spent time and energy stirring it with a spoon. After all, many people couldn't feel the difference.
Mr. Wen's eyes darkened slightly.
After a moment, he glanced at Gu Niannian subconsciously.
Gu Niannian stood there, looking at the porridge in Mr. Wen's hand, with a slightly nervous look in his eyes.
Mr. Wen noticed that Gu Niannian's eyes were very clear, without any impurities except for the slight nervousness.
He suddenly felt a little confused again.
How could a woman so full of scheming have such clear eyes?
Wen Tian asked over here: "How are you, old man? Is the porridge made by my sister-in-law delicious?"
Mr. Wen said nothing and pursed his lips tightly.
But his action of taking another sip already represented his answer.
Wen Tian made a "V" gesture to Gu Niannian.
Gu Niannian breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she put a lot of thought into making porridge, what she actually thought was that it would probably be in vain.
She thought Mr. Wen would not eat it, or even throw it away.
But now that Mr. Wen is willing to eat it, it is the best gratification for her.
While Mr. Wen was slowly drinking his porridge, an older man walked in.
He is Shu Yue's driver.
"Mr. Wen." The man first said hello to Mr. Wen.
Mr. Wen nodded: "What's wrong? What's the matter?"
The man said: "Miss Shu said before that she wanted to go home and asked me to see her off, but I waited for a long time and didn't see Miss Shu coming. I couldn't get through to Miss Shu. I don't know what happened."
Mr. Wen put down the spoon in his hand: "Shu Yue and the servant just went to the garden for a walk. I'll ask the servant."
Then Mr. Wen called the servant.
The servant glanced at Gu Niannian: "I was leaving with Miss Shu before, but then Miss Gu came. Miss Gu and Miss Shu seemed to want to talk, so Miss Shu asked me to leave first."
Mr. Wen's eyes turned sharp.
He stared at Gu Niannian: "What did you and Shu Yue talk about?"
Mr. Wen's questioning tone made Gu Niannian feel a little uncomfortable.
The tone was as if she had done something to Shu Yue.
She tried to use a calm tone and said: "I didn't say anything, just chatting casually."
A flash of deep thought flashed in Mr. Wen's eyes.
He ordered the servant to find Shu Yue, and Shu Yue's driver also went with him.
＊＊＊＊
While waiting, Mr. Wen stopped drinking the porridge, and his eyes kept changing.
Here Wen Tian quietly said to Gu Niannian: "Sister-in-law, I have an ominous premonition. I always feel that Shu Yue is up to something." She doesn't know why, but she just has this feeling, that something is going to happen.
