Professor Chi is the girl their son is interested in??
What kind of joyous surprise is this?!
For a moment, Mr. Fu and Mrs. Fu looked at Fu Si with much kinder eyes.
A perplexed Fu Si: ?
Chi Gui, unaffected by the mix-up, focused on signing the documents and handed them to Xiang Nuan, "Thank you for your hard work. I’ll have Xing Gu send you back."
Xiang Nuan nodded hastily, eager to leave this awkward place at the speed of light.
Once Xiang Nuan had left, Chi Gui turned to Mr. Fu and Mrs. Fu, stood up, and greeted them politely, "Hello, uncle and auntie. I’ll be troubling you for lunch today."
"Not at all! We love having young people over, it’s lively!" Mrs. Fu warmly took Chi Gui’s hand and led her to the dining table. "Feel free to ask for anything you’d like to eat; our chefs are specially hired and can make anything!"
Old Sir Fu followed behind them, smiling and not minding their informality at all.
Fu Si lazily greeted Fu Chengzhou and followed them to the table.
In the end, it was Mr. Fu who called Jinxiu and the others to join them for the meal.
Old Sir Fu’s obviously dismissive attitude left Jinxiu and Xia Jinjin paler by another shade.
Fu Wen sighed and walked over to Xia Jinjin, putting an arm around her, "Let’s join them. Consider this a lesson; be more cautious with your words in the future."
Old Sir Fu was doting on Professor Chi as if she were his own flesh and blood, not to mention Fu Si, his true pride and joy.
Jinxiu’s brash misunderstanding had not only insulted Old Sir Fu’s two treasures in every possible way.
It was only for Professor Chi’s sake that Old Sir Fu hadn’t immediately sent them packing.
Fu Wen understood the situation very clearly. He knew his own limits and was aware that he could never surpass his brother, so he set his life goal early—to live comfortably in his brother’s shadow.
This meal was particularly uncomfortable for Xia Jinjin.
