As she pondered over the reason for the Old Madamâs visit, Qin Shu couldnât help but worry.
She patted Boss head. âGo play by yourself first.â
âMeow!â Boss cried out. After straightening its body, it leaped onto the carpet accurately.
Qin Shu stood up and walked out of the bedroom.
When she went downstairs, she saw the Old Madam sitting on the sofa with a young lady sitting beside her. The two of them were chatting and laughing.
After walking into the living room, Qin Shu had a good look at the lady seated beside the Old Madam. It was Xu Wei, the daughter of the Xu Family. Their family was on good terms with the Fu Family.
Xu Wei was the Old Madamâs favorite candidate as her granddaughter-in-law, whether it be her looks or her family background.
In her previous life, the Old Madam had mentioned multiple times that she wanted Fu Tingyu to divorce her and marry the girl in front of her, Xu Wei.
However, Fu Tingyu insisted against getting a divorce, which almost caused the Old Madam to suffer from heart attack due to anger.
Because of this, the Old Madam even went on a hunger strike.
He didnât want a divorce, but the other party was his most beloved grandmother.
Back then, Fu Tingyu was most likely put in a difficult position.
Qin Shu walked over and bent down to pick up the kettle on the coffee table. She poured out a cup of hot water and placed it in front of the Old Madam immediately.
âGrandmother, have some water first.â
The Old Madam glanced at Qin Shu. She noticed that she was much better. She had become more well-behaved in the past few days and didnât cause any trouble.
Moreover, she had called her âGrandmotherâ twice instead of ignoring her like before. This made her feel a little gratified.
She waved at Qin Shu. âSit down first. Let me introduce her to you. She is the daughter of the Xu family, Xu Wei. She is classmates with Little Yu. She accompanied me today, and sheâs also here to catch-up with Little Yu.â
Qin Shu walked to the Old Madamâs side and sat down. She listened attentively to the Old Madamâs introduction and did not say a word.
The Old Madam then introduced her to Xu Wei. âThis is Xiao Yuâs girlfriend. Her name is Qin Shu.â
When Xu Wei heard the words âgirlfriendâ, she was stunned for a moment before she finally reacted. She glanced at Qin Shu. Because her hair was draped over her head, it covered up a lot of her facial features. However, it was evident that she was not bad-looking.
The Old Madam noticed Xu Weiâs stunned expression and could not help but ask, âWere you very surprised?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Xu Wei laughed softly, âYes. All these years, I havenât heard of him having a girlfriend. It is indeed a little surprising that he suddenly has a girlfriend.â
âAt the beginning, I thought the same. â the Old Madam recalled that her grandson had been single for twenty-four years. Then, he had suddenly announced that he had a girlfriend. At that time, she was both surprised and happy.
However, the surprise did not last for more than a day.
She started to worry.
Qin Shu watched as the smile on the Old Madamâs face gradually faded. She knew that it was because of her.
She asked, âGrandmother, itâs almost time for dinner. Iâll call Yu to ask when he will be back.â
The Old Madam heard this and nodded in agreement. âYou can call him. Tell him to come back earlier.â
âI got it, Grandmother.â
Qin Shu took out her phone and dialed Fu Tingyuâs number.
He picked up almost instantly.
âGrandmother is coming home for dinner today. What time will you be back?â
Fu Tingyu held his phone in one hand and a pen in the other. When he heard that his Grandmother was here, he stopped twirling the pen.
Was Grandmother here to advocate a divorce again?
âIâll be back soon.â
Fu Tingyu hung up the phone. He stood up, picked up his coat, and walked out.
Shi Yan was still waiting for the document to be signed when he noticed his Fourth Master suddenly stand up to leave.
After being stunned for a few seconds, Shi Yan quickly followed after him.
Apart from Qin Shu, who else could make the Fourth Master ignore everything else?
After striding into the elevator, Fu Tingyu took out his phone and dialed his younger brotherâs number. His younger brother was the best at making his Grandmother happy.
âCome to Bright Garden for dinner.â
