“Mother is right.”
Sensing Matriarch Chu’s displeasure, Mdm Chu hurriedly shut up.
Because Chu Hongzhong was busy with business all year round, he made a trip back for his son’s marriage the previous time. Seeing that things didn’t work out, he stayed in the residence for a few days before leaving again.
Now, although she had control over the family, she still had to listen to Matriarch Chu.
The current Chu Mansion was no longer the Chu Mansion that allowed her to be picky about. Her son was not very close to her, and her husband did not care about the matters in the Chu Mansion. Furthermore, he had a reputation for being a playboy.
If she did not follow the Matriarch, if Chu Hongzhong brought another wife back in the future, she would probably not be able to move an inch in the Chu Mansion.
Fu Xianyun glanced at his aunt and sighed inwardly.
He heard from his wet nurse that when his aunt was still unmarried, she didn’t get along well with his mother. The two often had conflicts over a small matter.
Sometimes, it would even reach Grandmother’s ears. Fortunately, Grandmother was a person who would help reason rather than kin.
It was also because of this that his aunt didn’t like his mother and had a deep resentment towards his grandmother.
Chu Sihan’s personality did not seem like his uncle or aunt. It also wasn’t like Matriarch Chu and the deceased Old Master Chu.
He had once told his father about this matter, but his father had coldly warned him not to spout nonsense.
Actually, he just wanted to express that Chu Sihan’s personality was better than anyone else in the Chu family.
However, for some reason, his father felt that he was questioning Chu Sihan’s background.
Just as the atmosphere reached a deadlock, Chu Sihan and Chu Yun arrived.
“Lord!”
Lu Sheng, who had just walked out of the kitchen, saw Chu Sihan walking into the restaurant and her eyes lit up instantly.
“Yes.”
Chu Sihan looked at her and said softly, “Here.”
“What’s this?”
Lu Sheng took it and asked curiously.
Chu Sihan whispered, “A gift for the opening.”
Lu Sheng chuckled. “Thank you, Lord!”
“And this.”
Chu Sihan took another box from Chu Yun and handed it to her.
Lu Sheng raised her eyebrows. “This is also a gift for the opening?”
“No.” He looked down at her and said, “You mentioned previously that you had a cousin who wanted to get married, and you wanted to choose a hairpin as a gift. Although this isn’t made of the same material, it’s still a high-grade jade.”
Lu Sheng was stunned. “Uh…”
Since when did she have a cousin who was getting married? Her only cousin was He Zhang’s daughter, but she had long gotten married.
She had only said it casually back then. Who knew that Chu Sihan would remember it until now?
“What’s wrong?”
Chu Sihan was puzzled by her sudden silence.
“No… nothing. Thank you, Lord!”
It seemed like she had to find some time to explain things to him.
“Han Er is here.”
Mdm Chu interrupted.
Chu Sihan looked over, his gentle gaze instantly becoming much more indifferent.
This change made Mdm Chu feel a little upset.
She had raised this child up, yet his attitude towards her was even worse than an outsider.
“Han Er, come over and sit.”
Matriarch Chu patted the spot beside her and smiled.
Chu Sihan nodded and said a few words to Lu Sheng before walking over to sit down.
Lu Sheng went into the kitchen and brought a set of cutlery over personally. Chu Yun ran to the kitchen with Lu Ran and the others.
“Miss Lu, why don’t you sit with us as well?”
Fu Xianyun suggested with a smile.
“No need. I’m still busy.”
After Lu Sheng declined Fu Xianyun’s invitation, she said to Chu Sihan, “Lord, please take a seat. The dishes will be served soon.”
Without waiting for his reply, she hurried back to the counter.
