Chapter 275: Chapter 275: I’ll Make Cold Noodles for You Chapter 275: Chapter 275: I’ll Make Cold Noodles for You It was utterly baffling.
Why take it out on her?
Yet, Gu Yajing still thought of that man, the man who always had another woman in his heart.
The man she both loved and hated.
Hmph, she definitely couldn’t let him off easily this time!
However, Steward Wu, looking deeply worried, stopped her and whispered, “Miss, the lady’s reactions have been off lately, she’s been inexplicably irritable …”
“Is Grandma ill?” Gu Yajing’s anger subsided a bit as she asked Steward Wu.
“We’ve been to the hospital for a check-up. Apart from slightly high blood pressure, everything else is normal. I think it might be due to some offence; as one ages, the body naturally weakens. Please talk to your father, see if there’s anything that can be done …”
Gu Yajing assessed the old steward, who had served Grandma for over thirty years, and hesitantly said, “Aren’t you overthinking it? Maybe she’s just going through menopause.”
Such an elderly person shouldn’t be going through menopause.
Steward Wu didn’t argue but insisted, “Still, talk to your father about it.”
Gu Yajing nodded, “Alright.”
With that, she walked towards the villa’s courtyard.
She then slowly drove away from North Mountain Villa in her newly purchased car.
Steward Wu stood staring in the direction the car had gone, only turning to enter the villa after a long while.
Qiaoqiao spent the whole day at Gu Garden, not returning home until after dinner.
When she got home, Qin Yize hadn’t yet returned.
Qiaoqiao had benefited greatly that day.
Gu Qingfeng had started dealing with jade when he was only a few years old, and his knowledge was beyond anything Qiaoqiao could imagine.
There were some things Qiaoqiao had never even heard of.
She thought, after all, she was to pursue a career in this field in the future.
So, learning more from Old Patriarch Gu was definitely beneficial.
Qin Xuan told Qiaoqiao that he had already contacted several schools for Gu Qianqian.
Once the middle school exam results were out, if they were good, she could smoothly enter the best high school.
If they were far below expectations, there would still be other schools to choose from.
But even those schools were among the top-ranked nationally.
As for Gu Zishu, they would have to wait for the results to decide.
For Qin Xuan, finding a moderate high school should not be a problem.
Qiaoqiao being the great-granddaughter of Old Patriarch Gu was a secret kept from the public for now.
Everything would be decided after the members of the Gu Family arrived in the capital.
Hence, aside from Old Grand Master Qin, the other two brothers were not aware.
Qin Yize returned the next afternoon.
He hadn’t eaten lunch.
At that time, Grandma Qin was resting, and Qiaoqiao whispered, “Go take a shower, I’ll cook for you.”
Qin Yize’s brows were tinged with weariness, but from his expression, it was unclear what he was thinking.
He glanced at Qiaoqiao, his eyes twinkling slightly as he smiled, “The weather is hot, something simple will do.”
“Mm, I’ll make cold noodles for you.”
Qin Yize nodded and said softly, “Thank you.” He then headed to the bathroom.
Making cold noodles was convenient.
Qiaoqiao took out a handful of cold noodles and soaked them in warm water, then began preparing the seasoning.
She sliced tomatoes, shredded cucumber, added a few slices of apple, then minced garlic and coriander.
She then started boiling water.
She poured cooled boiled water into a large bowl, added sugar, salt, and vinegar …
She then poured this seasoned soup into a porcelain white bowl containing the freshly sliced tomatoes and cucumber shreds, completing the cold noodle broth.
When Qin Yize finished showering and came out, Qiaoqiao blanched the cold noodles in hot water, then rinsed them with cold water.
