Chapter 538: Why Does It Smell Like Seafood?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the Zhou family’s old residence…
When the Old Master found out that Zhou Mo had found a girl from a good family, most of his anger dissipated. In the end, he agreed to let his family bring their future granddaughter-in-law to visit the old residence.
The Old Master had even prepared a gift in advance for his future granddaughter-in-law. He hoped that Zhou Mo could lead a good life in the future!
Shi Qi and her parents had come to the Zhou family’s old residence together with the Zhou family’s eldest son. At the Zhou family’s dining table, the housekeeper had already prepared a sumptuous meal in advance. She was just waiting for everyone to arrive and serve the last soup before they could officially start eating.
However, Shi Qi had not expected to actually see Yun Xi’s figure in the Zhou family’s old residence.
Why was she here?
Could it be that Yun Xi had revealed some of the ugly things he had done in school?! However, Shi Qi did not show any fear on her face. Instead, she wore a very polite smile on her face. Her entire person looked sweet and well-behaved.
“Please come in, please come in!”
Old Master Zhou hurriedly greeted the guests who had arrived outside. Everyone followed the order and sat at the dining table in the house.
Fortunately, the dining table was big enough, so these few people could be arranged properly.
“Zhou Lin, did auntie make seafood soup today?! Why do I smell a particularly strong seafood smell?! There isn’t any seafood in today’s dishes, and the Old Master can’t eat this type of cold food now!”
Yun Xi pinched her nose and asked Zhou Lin.
Actually, Yun Xi was originally staying at the school, but the two of them had come to the Zhou family’s old residence after they got married. After staying there for two days, she had planned to go back, but when she heard the Old Master talking on the phone with the Zhou family’s main house, he said that he was going to bring his future granddaughter-in-law to visit.
Yun Xi thought that it should be Shi Qi, so she stayed here again. Today, she was going to pry open this woman’s hypocritical face in front of these people and spread rumors that the matter of her being a sugar baby could not be let off just like that.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry! This might be the smell of my body. I run a seafood shop, so…”
Shi Qi’s father was the first to admit his mistake, and he looked guilty. However halfway through his words, Shi Qi used all her strength to hit her father’s arm and then continued the conversation.
“Yes, auntie also knows that our family actually runs a seafood company! My father is also a very serious worker. He often goes down to the workshop to inspect the seafood by himself. As time goes by, the smell of seafood inevitably accumulates on his body. I hope that everyone can understand!”
Shi Qi was really afraid that her father would spill the beans. If that happened, everything that she had gotten today would be ruined. She might even be chased out by others.
“Yes, yes, father, don’t mind it!” Qian Yun looked at the Old Master and also helped to speak up.
The husband and wife were in business, and they knew that it was difficult to do business now. Therefore, it was common for the boss to personally go down to the workshop to check on the work. The smell of seafood on his body proved that Shi Qi’s father often went to the workshop to manage their own business, presumably, this family was very progressive.
Shi Qi’s father smiled awkwardly and did not continue to speak. He still remembered what his daughter had told him when he went out today, so he just kept his head down and ate.
“Shi Qi, you were so low-key! When you were in school, you never told us that your family ran an aquatic company. So your family background is so good! I’ve never visited an aquatic company before. If there’s a chance, can you take me to visit your company? Let me broaden my horizons too!”
On the surface, Yun Xi’s words were pleasant to hear. Old Master Zhou and the Zhou family’s eldest son could not hear any problems in his words, but Shi Qi’s family felt very guilty.
“Do you know each other?” Qian Yun asked.
“Yes! The two of us are university classmates, and we’re roommates who live in the same dormitory!”
Yun Xi did not avoid the relationship between the two of them at all. This was not something that she could do anything about.
It was just that the direction in which things would develop and what she would say next would depend entirely on her own mood!
