In the western suburbs of City Z, in a teahouse hidden in the depths of the bamboo forest.
Qi Lei came early and ordered a pot of good tea and some delicious snacks. The entire teahouse had been booked, and Yang Sheng was waiting by the side.
There was a professional zither player in the teahouse. His attainments were very high, and he played the zither very well.
This was where Dongfang Liuyun’s grandfather, Elder Dongfang often came. After so many years, he did not expect this place to still be so quiet, and there were many customers every day.
Elder Dongfang was a very gentle person. He liked antiques and ancient cultures. Dongfang Liuyun was the one who told him all this.
That was why he chose this place to meet with Dongfang Shuman.
The clear and peaceful notes poured out one after another. Qi Lei also felt a moment of silence, especially when it was accompanied by the sound of the cold wind blowing through the bamboo forest. It made the world seem even quieter.
The window at the side was not closed. On the other hand, the stove that was boiling water was burning brightly. The wind was still rather cold when it blew in. Qi Lei just sat there quietly, with a windbreaker draped over his shoulders.
At this moment, he was sitting quietly.
“Master Qi, Elder Madam Dongfang is here!”
At this moment, Yang Sheng’s low voice suddenly rang in his ears.
Qi Lei slowly raised his gaze and glanced at Yang Sheng. Then, he looked out of the window—
He saw a black luxury car driving slowly in the cold wind. It stopped steadily at the parking spot.
Just as the car stopped, a capable woman got out from the front passenger seat. She came to the back seat and quickly opened the door—
An elderly madam was walking out of the car with a cane.
The elder madam was dressed in a black coat and looked very thin. However, looking at her footsteps and posture, she looked quite imposing.
She stood where she was and looked around. She seemed to have thought of something and did not move for a long time. After a long time, she quietly withdrew her gaze and looked through the open window.
Qi Lei smiled and nodded at her when he noticed her gaze.
Dongfang Shuman paused for a moment and did not walk over immediately.
“How did he find this place?”
Dongfang Shuman’s old voice sounded. She looked at Ah Cai beside her, but Ah Cai also shook her head, “I didn’t expect it either. This place doesn’t seem to have changed at all. It’s still the same as before. I think he might have found out through investigation, or it’d be the Fourth Lady who told him.”
Dongfang Shuman’s eyes fell silent for a moment. A dark light flashed across her old eyes. She glanced at Qi Lei without batting an eyelid before saying—
“That means he’s quite thoughtful!”
Dongfang Shuman said this before walking forward. “You all don’t have to go in, just wait here.”
“Okay, President Shu!”
Ah Cai did not dare to have any doubts and stopped walking. Dongfang Shuman had already walked in.
When she entered, Qi Lei saw her walk over and stood up.
“Hello, President Shu! Please take a seat, President Shu!”
Yang Sheng, who was standing at the side, greeted her swiftly. He quickly bent down to pour tea for Dongfang Shuman, but Qi Lei raised his hand to stop him. “Wait for me outside too. I’ll do it.”
Hearing this, Yang Sheng was shocked. He quickly reacted and quickly bowed to the two of them before retreating.
“Grandmother, please sit here.”
Glancing at Yang Sheng’s retreating figure, Qi Lei’s handsome face softened when he retracted his gaze. He extended his hand and gestured to Dongfang Shuman.
Dongfang Shuman looked Qi Lei up and down seriously before sitting down. She placed her cane aside and her old voice sounded, “Don’t act all familiar. I haven’t admitted that you’re the grandson-in-law of the Dongfang family. Liuyun hasn’t brought you to see me either.”
Dongfang Shuman’s tone was cold and indifferent. There was no joy or anticipation in her tone.
“You know very well why she’s doing this. Otherwise, Grandmother wouldn’t have agreed to meet her today, right?”
Qi Lei did not find it strange either. He calmly sat down and poured a cup of tea for Dongfang Shuman. “Kuding tea, I heard that Grandmother likes this tea too.”
Mu Yuchen quite likef this tea. He did not expect Dongfang Shuman to like it too.
When Qi Lei said this, Dongfang Shuman fell silent as well. She narrowed her sharp eyes and looked at him without blinking
“Did Liuyun tell you?”
A moment later, Dongfang Shuman asked in a hoarse voice.
Qi Lei nodded quietly and smiled. “She mentioned it to me, but she didn’t know that I had an appointment with Grandmother today.”
Hearing this, Dongfang Shuman’s eyes darkened. After thinking for a moment, she did not show any expression on her face. She was still very cold.
She picked up the tea and took a sip silently. She allowed the bitter taste to spread to the depths of her throat, but she did not even frown—
“She’s a person of her word. I don’t approve of your marriage.”
Dongfang Shuman was also a straightforward person. She did not beat around the bush.
“I know that Grandmother doesn’t approve, which is why I’m meeting you today.”
Qi Lei’s expression did not change. His handsome face still had a faint smile.
“Even so, that doesn’t change anything. Although your previous actions surprised me, Liuyun’s husband shouldn’t be you. It’s not a question of whether you’re worthy or not, but…”
“But I’m already married to her now. Legally, in life, we’re a real couple. This is the truth. I didn’t meet Grandmother today because of this. It’s best if you can admit it. Otherwise, we can only stay in this awkward position.”
Qi Lei said calmly. His tone was very modest, but he did not have any intention of lowering his voice.
Dongfang Shuman observed him for a while before her old face softened slightly. She lowered her eyes and took another sip of tea, “There aren’t many arrogant young people like you. I’ve seen many men who are interested in Liuyun. At least, they’re very polite and respectful to me.”
“Grandmother, are you saying that I don’t respect you enough?”
Qi Lei raised his handsome eyebrows and asked.
Dongfang Shuman narrowed her eyes at him and did not say anything. She just watched him quietly pour her tea.
“Grandmother is highly respected, so I naturally have respect for you. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have done what I did today. We’re both businessmen. The key to solving the problem is to find out where the problem is, analyze the problem, and then solve the problem. This is the business model of us businessmen. What does Grandmother think?”
