Chapter 561
Chapter 561
The place to eat is set at a very secret private restaurant.
When Cao Xihua arrived, Fu Qingye and Jiang Manxue had arrived half an hour earlier.
"Sorry, I've been delayed by something." Because Jiang Manxue was there, Cao Xihua didn't say it was because of the old man.
"Ma'am, it's okay." Jiang Manxue took Cao Xihua's coat and hung it up, "We've only just arrived."
Fu Qingye turned around and told Cao Xihua: "I got up too early in the morning, and Manxue didn't eat, so I just ordered porridge for her. Would you like some warming up, mother?"
Cao Xihua teased him, "It's rare that we, Aye, are so considerate. Of course I want to try it."
Then, Cao Xihua naturally pulled Jiang Manxue over, frowned and said, "Why haven't I seen you for a few days, Manxue seems to have lost weight."
Before Jiang Manxue could speak, Fu Qingye answered her directly.
"Can I not lose weight? I get up to paint every day before dawn. I don't go to the studio to call her at night, and she can sleep in it directly."
There is nothing wrong with saying this alone, but at this moment, it sounds like a complaint of dissatisfaction.
But once this kind of emotion is placed on Fu Qingye's body, it will be very strange.
Jiang Manxue blushed at his few words.
But in front of Cao Xihua, it was not easy to express too much, she could only stare at Fu Qingye, and then retorted softly: "I don't have it, don't talk nonsense."
"Am I talking nonsense?" Fu Qingye just wanted to tease Cao Xihua in front of her.
It is simply counting her crimes and executing her publicly.
"If I hadn't gone to the studio to drag you last night, would you have woken up to sleep?"
Dumbfounded by Fu Qingye's words, Jiang Manxue could only remain silent.
On the contrary, Cao Xihua couldn't help but chuckled when he saw them coming and going.
She took Jiang Manxue's hand and patted it gently.
"I'm really happy to see you like this now. Manxue, it's really great to have you here. Even a person as cold as Ah Ye can have such a lively moment. You know, how long has it been since I saw him smile?" Yet?"
Cao Xihua looked nostalgic, she glanced at Fu Qingye with a smile, and then asked.
"In the first two years when you first came to Fu's house, you at least resisted, rebelled, made trouble, and even cried. But since then, I have never seen you have any other emotions. You are not wronged you?"
"No." Seeing Jiang Manxue watching, Fu Qingye didn't hide anything.
Instead of hiding anything, he was even more frank than usual.
He said: "Staying in Fu's house is too boring. I can't think of anything funny, and there will be no results. It's just right like this."
When he was talking, Fu Qingye had no expression on his face, and his attitude was even casual.
But Jiang Manxue heard the words that made her feel distressed.
If there was nothing worth laughing at, and nothing worth fighting against, then what would Fu Qingye's life be like in the past?
If life is without sorrow and joy, how can it be called life?
Jiang Manxue didn't know how Fu Qingye endured such a life.
She only knew that after she heard this, she felt really uncomfortable in her heart.
So much so that she inadvertently squeezed Cao Xihua's hand tightly.
Cao Xihua raised her head and glanced at Jiang Manxue, then laughed.
She looked at Fu Qingye and winked at him.
"It's almost enough. It's a thing of the past. Isn't it distressing to say it deliberately now?"
These were obviously words to protect Jiang Manxue.
Fu Qingye laughed, and looked at Cao Xihua slightly dissatisfied: "Mom is protecting Xiaoxue more than me now."
"You don't need my protection now." Cao Xihua replied half-truthfully.
Then, Jiang Manxue heard that it was Fu Qingye teasing her again.I couldn't help but widen my eyes.
But understanding is one thing, feeling distressed is another.
She pursed her lips, but still didn't say anything.
Cao Xihua intentionally changed the subject: "However, what are you doing when you get up so early in the morning?"
She couldn't help looking at Jiang Manxue with some distress.
"Look at the dark circles under Man Xue's eyes, she looks like she hasn't slept well."
Fu Qingye laughed: "I've gone to adopt the child."
It was as if he had just said this to Jiang Manxue. Even Cao Xihua couldn't help being surprised, and his expression became serious in an instant: "What?"
Jiang Manxue knew that this joke could not be played casually.
He hurriedly explained for Fu Qingye: "It's a puppy. Aye and I went to adopt a little Samoyed."
Only then did Cao Xihua relax a little.
She patted Jiang Manxue's hand and said softly.
"Actually, I like puppies too. But it's not convenient to raise at home. Where did you put that little guy? Show me?"
"The hotel said that there is a room that can take care of pets, so I stored them there." Then, Jiang Manxue asked in a low voice, "I'll take it here and show you?"
"Okay." Cao Xihua didn't refuse at all.
Even Fu Qingye nodded: "Go."
Jiang Manxue was full of joy.
It feels like taking the child to meet the parents.
After Jiang Manxue went out, the smile on Fu Qingye's lips faded.
"Mother, you deliberately pushed Man Xue away, do you have something to tell me?" Fu Qingye actually served Cao Xihua a bowl of porridge and put it in front of her.
"Indeed." Cao Xihua looked at Fu Qingye seriously: "You'd better take Man Xue to meet your parents as soon as possible."
When she said this, Fu Qingye was surprised.
"Meet them?"
"The old man just said this morning that he wants you to go home, and there are a few girls he wants to introduce to you." Cao Xihua tapped his fingers on the table with a serious tone, "Aye, you should know the meaning behind these words. Your cousin has been restless recently, and I think there is more or less the meaning of the old man in the back."
As he spoke, Cao Xihua suppressed the dissatisfaction in his eyes.
She rubbed her temples, looked up at Fu Qingye again, and tried not to let her emotions affect him.
"As long as the old man is alive, the Fu family will never be truly in your hands." Cao Xihua told Fu Qingye in a low voice, "In the past, he obeyed you in everything you did, because you never disobeyed him. But Now, you have Manxue, which is probably the most rebellious thing for the old man. He will never allow you to marry a girl who is not arranged by him. Ah Ye, he wants you to live the life he arranged for you. "
"I know." Fu Qingye squeezed the teacup, with a cold expression, "I knew from the beginning that I was just a card in his hand. Use me to restrain those people in his family and suppress their eager ambitions. But he himself But I don't know that those people's ambitions are supported by his checks and balances."
A sarcasm flashed across Fu Qingye's eyes.
When looking at Cao Xihua, there was some puzzlement in his eyes.
"But, what does this have to do with me bringing Manxue to meet my parents?"
