Chu Sixi dialed another number: "Hello, my last name is Chu, I'm the customer who made a reservation for dinner at your restaurant. I'd like to ask, the time is around 6pm, has the other lady arrived yet?"

"Please wait a moment while we check."

After a few seconds, "Mr. Chu, we checked and he didn't come."

"Okay, got it."

Chu Sixi hung up the phone neatly, and it was just as he expected.

He was not the only one who missed the appointment.

Soon, the old lady of the Chu family called again.

"Xiao Xi, don't bring up other things. Why don't you go? We just want to meet and have a meal and get to know each other."

Chu Sixi was not very surprised by the second call.

He explained calmly, "Grandma, don't just blame me. The person you arranged didn't show up either."

The old lady of the Chu family: “?”

She didn't seem to have expected that she had actually received a call from Zhang Qing before, who was reconfirming the location with her. She naturally thought that Zhang Qing had gone there, and she also vaguely knew that Chu Sixi had never shown up. She originally thought that Chu Sixi would be able to go this time because it was something she had emphasized many times, but she didn't expect that he had forgotten it in the end.

"Are you serious?"

"Why did I lie to you?"

The old lady of the Chu family thought for a moment and said, "Maybe Xiaoqing was delayed by something unexpected, but she also remembers this matter and takes it much more seriously than you do."

In her eyes, although they had only been together for a short time, Zhang Qing was a warm-hearted person who was patient with her and a kind child.

So, there must be some misunderstanding about this matter.

Chu Sixi said bluntly: "Grandma, do you like her so much?"

"There's nothing wrong with her. She's always with me and cares about me. What a good child she is."

Seeing Chu Sixi's question, the old lady of the Chu family thought that he had suddenly become interested and started to talk at length again.

"Look, the little girl from the Zhang family is the same age as you, and you are both from Xiangyi City. Your home is not far away. The girl is kind and considerate. Your opinion will definitely change after you meet her. Even if you don't talk about other things, getting to know her won't interfere with anything. Just think of her as having one more friend."

"If we really want to develop this further, that would be even better. We know her inside and out. This girl is popular and many people are thinking about her. Opportunities don't wait for anyone."

Chu Sixi interrupted, not remembering what he had heard, "Grandma? If you really like it that much..."

The old lady of the Chu family waited expectantly and even sat up straight.

Then, Chu Sixi's unfinished words were passed on.

"If you accept her as your adopted daughter, I won't say anything. At most, I'll suffer a loss in terms of seniority."

The old lady of the Chu family really didn't expect Chu Sixi to come up with this idea.

She was speechless for a long time...

If she really adopted a girl who is the same age as her grandson as her adopted daughter, she would be really senile.

What's more, this was not her original intention.

"Chu Sixi, you are simply lawless now. My original intention was not for you. Look at what crooked ideas you have."

The old lady of the Chu family directly called Chu Sixi by his full name.

The person on the other side didn't have much emotional fluctuations, "Grandma, don't worry about it, I have something important to tell you now."

"You will be the first one in our family to know. Do you want to know?"

The old lady of the Chu family was a little curious about his mysterious tone. Was he the first one to know?

She knew that her grandson still thought about her as his grandmother.

She pretended to be very serious and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Chu Sixi was particularly serious, "Grandma, I have someone I like."

"What?" The Chu family became nervous due to the shouting.

Chu's father was originally eating, but he hurried over from the dining table.

"What's wrong, Mom?"

The old lady of the Chu family waved her hand, telling him not to stay in front of her and get in the way. She even turned around and was on guard against Chu's father, as if she didn't want him to hear what Chu Sixi said.

After Chu's father was driven away, the old lady of the Chu family continued to ask, "Are you telling the truth? Don't lie this time."

"Grandma, how could I lie to you about this? I do have someone I like."

"When will you bring it back?"

The old lady of the Chu family was so excited that she thought her grandson was even more stupid, but she didn't expect to hear such heartwarming words from him.

He is better than his brother in this respect.

That grandson, now he just works all day long, the busier he is, the older he looks...

"Grandma, don't worry about this." Chu Sixi knew that her grandma was very happy. "I'm the first one to tell you."

"I'm telling you this because I want you to stop messing around with other people. I don't want to make any stranger friends either."

"I have chosen her now, and she is my lifelong love. If you continue to dictate my affairs and make a mess of things, I will just pray to the Buddha..."

The old lady of the Chu family: "It's not that serious. Aren't you scaring me by saying this?"

"If you have already thought about these things, how can I be so careless? I just found a child of the same age. Besides, this is only the first one."

"Isn't that what I vehemently rejected?"

The old lady of the Chu family: "Okay, now that I know you like someone, how can I still make trouble for no reason?"

"You like her. Do you think she agrees? When can you bring her back so I can see her?"

As we started chatting, the topic turned back.

Chu Sixi coughed softly: "Has your grandson ever failed?"

"Grandma, just stay at home and wait for good news. Take good care of yourself. I will make arrangements."

Chu Sixi didn't want to reveal more, otherwise his grandmother would keep asking questions for an hour.

The old lady of the Chu family's curiosity was aroused, and she felt very uncomfortable.

"Can we come back together next week? Or if you have any photos, let grandma take a look at them first."

Noticing that Chu's father looked over here from time to time, the old lady of the Chu family changed her position and sat down a little further away.

As for the photos, Chu Sixi naturally had them in his phone, but now, he decided not to give them to her, otherwise his grandmother would probably be even more excited, and it would be so uncomfortable for her to not be able to sleep at night...

"Grandma, I won't say any more. I've told you something so important. Don't worry about anything else for now. I know my limits."

"Bye."

The old lady of the Chu family: "...Hey, this child."

Father Chu suddenly said, "Mom, is this for Xiao Xi? Why are you chatting so happily today?"

The old lady of the Chu family was startled: "You want to scare me to death? When did you come to me? You walked without making any noise."

Father Chu felt guilty, he just wanted to eavesdrop for a while, "Mom, what was said on the phone?"

The old lady of the Chu family hasn't fully digested it yet, so she deliberately keeps it a secret: "You'll know when the time comes."

Father Chu stood there for a moment, confused.

What's so mysterious?

Not long after the old lady of the Chu family finished her call with Chu Sixi, she thought of something and sent another message to Zhang Qing.

"Xiaoqing, why didn't you go today?"

It took a while for the old lady of the Chu family to send the message before she received the other party's message.

Several messages about Zhang Qing popped up at once.

They are all explaining what happened today.

When the old lady of the Chu family saw these explanations, her anger slowly subsided. It turned out that she sprained her ankle due to hypoglycemia when she went to the hospital, so she had to go, which prevented her from going.

Zhang Qing even posted a photo of the hospital to ensure authenticity.

"Grandma Chu, I just finished the check-up and finally felt a little better. I saw your message when I picked up my phone and replied to you immediately."

"I'm sorry, it's my fault. I didn't expect this accident to happen. I'm really sorry."

"If you want to blame someone, blame me. I failed to live up to your concern for me."

Zhang Qing, who was on the other end of the phone, was walking to the side and sitting on a single sofa, while on the other side was a group of friends who were still playing.

The smile on her face disappeared when she received the other party's question.

She felt that this was a questioning and lack of trust in her. He had said before that he liked her, but now it seemed so hypocritical.

Zhang Qing had a cold and disdainful look on her face. After a long while, she typed out this explanation.

I even took the time to find a photo I had taken in the hospital and sent it to him.

Zhang Qing originally thought of searching for a picture online, but she felt that it was too easy to see and would be more time-consuming.

But she thought that if she explained it this way, the other party would believe her and forgive her.

She didn't want to go in the first place. The old lady of the Chu family had informed her several times in advance. She thought that after all, it was the Chu family and it would be difficult to refuse.

Deep down, she was unwilling to do so. She felt that she was too old and worrying about things was not her style.

However, the Chu family is extraordinary after all. She doesn't want to break up with them openly, nor does she dare to offend them easily.

After all, she is still quite favored by the old lady of the Chu family, and she doesn't want to lose such a good network of contacts easily.

She had met the old lady of the Chu family many times. A few years ago, her father took her to the Chu family to ask for help for personal matters.

At that time, I only saw the old lady of the Chu family.

She had been seeing him more frequently recently. At the Fu family's coming-of-age party, he showed up in front of the old lady of the Chu family, and he helped her out of a predicament. Since then, she had been visiting him more often.

Old people of this age just like to have someone around them, and they also like young people to care about them and talk to them more.

What’s more important is that the Chu family has no daughters in this generation, and Zhang Qing also knows how to coax people.

After pretending for a few times, the old lady of the Chu family liked her even more, just as she expected.

Unfortunately, she really didn't like the meeting arranged this time. She didn't know the two brothers of the Chu family very well, and she had only heard of Chu Sixi who was going to meet her many times.

She weighed the pros and cons, and what she wanted to happen more was the Fu family, especially Fu Bin, who had just become an adult. She felt that she could still control him. The most satisfying thing was that she could still have fun for a few more years.

She doesn't like it when her elders interfere too much in her affairs. The more they nag about it, the less interested she becomes.

Besides, the old lady of the Chu family was referring to her second grandson, who had not taken over the company. Even though he looked good, in her heart, he was not as rich and powerful as the eldest son of the Chu family.

The old lady of the Chu family must be trying to make her jump into the fire pit, not really doing it for her own good.

Therefore, Zhang Qing had made up her mind in the past few days and found a reason to decline the meeting.

Today, she also learned from her friends that Fu Bin might come to the bar today, so she came early.

At this moment, the old lady of the Chu family also sent a reply.

"Injured? Is the situation serious?"

"I didn't make arrangements for this matter, so forget it. Just focus on recovering from your injuries first."

Zhang Qing typed a line of words and sent it out, thinking that she had dealt with the matter. Unexpectedly, the message that the other party sent unintentionally made Zhang Qing a little unacceptable.

"It's not your fault for what happened today. It just so happens that Xiao Xi also has something to do today."

Zhang Qing was stunned for a moment.

The old lady of the Chu family: "The most important thing now is your health. This is the first thing to do."

Zhang Qing asked tentatively: "Grandma Chu, is it because of me that Second Brother Chu was angry and didn't go?"

The old lady of the Chu family was not suspicious, but she did not explain further.

Just said: "Don't think too much, it's none of your business, I'm just too busy and can't spare the time."

Having said that, Zhang Qing felt something was wrong.

Lied to me?

This old lady is definitely lying to her?

Zhang Qing felt very wronged and embarrassed.

Why doesn’t Chu Sixi go?

Do you think she doesn't deserve it?

In an instant, Zhang Qing thought a lot.

She knew that there was a huge gap between the two families and the strength of their family businesses was very different.

However, she felt that if Chu Sixi didn't go directly, it would embarrass her and make her lose face.

She didn't go because she had too many considerations, and she also hoped to be able to keep in touch in the future. She had so many concerns, so why shouldn't Chu Sixi go? This was just a lack of face for her.

Zhang Qing is now very angry, with a cold face and not a single smile on her face.

She said a few more perfunctory words to the old lady of the Chu family, and then stopped chatting, using the excuse that the doctor was coming to check.

She could choose not to go, but Chu Sixi couldn't. He didn't even make an excuse and just didn't take it seriously, which made Zhang Qing feel uneasy.

"Chu Sixi, wait."

Zhang Qing said this harshly.

She continued playing for a while, but without waiting for Fu Bin, she went home early in a bad mood.

"Dad, do you have a problem with me? Why do you look like this every day when I come back? You look bitter and resentful. This can easily affect your daughter and my mood."

Zhang Qing entered the house and saw her father in the living room as usual. He had been in the study before, but now he came directly to the living room. The cigarette butts in the ashtray were piled up like a small mountain.

"The house is full of bad smells, can't you pay a little attention?"

Father Zhang seemed to be hesitant to speak, his face full of sorrow and helplessness.

"Why did you come back so early today? I heard you say that you wanted to meet the second young master of the Chu family. How is that?"

"It's okay. If you have time to ask me these things, you might as well take a look at your image first. Are you still my father?"

"Why are you so addicted to smoking now?"

Father Zhang: "I just smoked for a short while. I won't smoke anymore after smoking this one. How are you doing? The old lady of the Chu family likes you. You must seize this opportunity."

"I know, I know. Why are you all paying attention to this matter? It's really annoying."

Father Zhang said sadly, "Isn't this because I want to find someone you can trust? How can I not be anxious about this matter?"

Zhang Qing still stood far away, wrinkling her nose, looking unhappy, "I know how to handle this matter. Your daughter waved her hand and so many people came over. Chu Sixi naturally couldn't hide."

Father Zhang: "As long as you have the determination, solve it as soon as possible. As for the one about the Fu family, you can communicate more. We are all young people, and there is nothing wrong with being friends."

"But don't be too anxious, pay attention to the arrangements."

Zhang Qing looked at his depressed father and nodded, "Got it. I'm tired. I'll go up first."

Mr. Zhang seemed to want to say something. His back, which had just straightened, bent again and he leaned heavily on the sofa.

Ugh……
