Chapter 179 Coward
Seeing that Zhong Meilan hadn't spoken for a long time, Song Qingyun smiled lightly and said, "Sister-in-law, you haven't spoken for a long time because you are dissatisfied with your mother's arrangement? In fact, what's the difference between Ruoxing doing it and you doing it? They are both your eldest brother, so what? Okay, he also looks like Changfang.”
Likewise, if something goes wrong, the boss will lose his face too.
Zhong Meilan suppressed the depression in her heart, raised her eyes and glanced at Song Qingyun, and said neither lightly nor seriously, "Since Mom wants Ruoxing to do it, I naturally have no objection, but I am still a little worried in my heart." After saying that, she looked at Qiao Ruoxing and said warmly , "Ruoxing, go to my place later and I will explain the whole process to you. If you don't understand anything, just ask. Don't save the money you should spend. In a word, everything will be perfect."
Qiao Ruoxing lowered her eyes and responded softly, "I understand, Mom."
No matter what other people thought about this arrangement, the old lady seemed very happy. After talking about business, she said she was hungry and wanted to eat in advance.
Although the Gu family does not have many rules, the division of labor is very clear.
For example, when the old lady was talking about business, the wives of the Gu family would not interrupt. When the old lady was talking about family matters, the men of the Gu family would not talk much. Just like when they were discussing who would host the birthday banquet, Gu Jingyan, his second uncle and the others were all talking from beginning to end. No one took a stand.
At the dinner table, the old lady asked some questions about the company. Most of them were answered by the second uncle and Gu Jingyan, while the others were quiet.
After the meal, everyone drank tea in the living room, and Qiao Ruoxing helped clear away the dishes.
Aunt Qin was very discerning and whispered to Qiao Ruoxing, "Young madam, you don't have to worry about this. You sit in the living room and drink tea with everyone."
"It's okay, I just finished eating and I want to move around and eat."
She stole Zhong Meilan's heart, and the other party lost his temper when he saw her. She went to the living room and sat next to Zhong Meilan, who was probably going to die.
She was not comfortable herself, so it would be better to work more relaxedly.
Seeing this, Aunt Qin said nothing.
Qiao Ruoxing was not asked to do the washing and rinsing work, so she was asked to cut fruits and arrange them in the kitchen.
Qiao Ruoxing sighed suddenly.
Aunt Qin saw her wilting look and asked, "What's the matter, young lady?"
"I'm wondering if grandma is still angry with me?"
Aunt Qin smiled and said, "Why do you ask that?"
Qiao Ruoxing muttered, "If she wasn't angry, why would she leave this hot job to me?"
"Of course the old lady values you so much that she entrusts you with such an important matter. If she were angry with you, she wouldn't let you in even if you gave her wontons in those days."
Qiao Ruoxing curled her lips. It was obvious that she didn't want to offend her daughters-in-law, so she left this job to her. She was a scapegoat.
But now that the matter has come to an end, everyone who deserves to be offended has been offended, and all he can do is think about how to organize the birthday banquet.
"Aunt Qin, tell me how the birthday banquet was held when grandma had her birthday in the past."
Aunt Qin was a little surprised.
In fact, the old lady talked to them privately about today's matter before they came.
At that time, I wanted to make a bet with them, betting that after the birthday banquet was handed over to Qiao Ruoxing, Qiao Ruoxing would do it by herself, or would she secretly hand over the hosting rights to Zhong Meilan in order to please Zhong Meilan.
The old lady bets Qiao Ruoxing to do it herself, and the couple bets Zhong Meilan to do it.
Qiao Ruoxing usually has a very soft-spoken personality in front of her elders, and is always cautious in what she says and does, for fear of offending others if she makes a mistake.
Zhong Meilan has always been unhappy with this daughter-in-law. Now that the old lady has left the planning of the birthday banquet to her, she can completely hand it over to Zhong Meilan to integrate the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. This is an excellent choice and the safest approach.
However, the old lady felt that the birthday banquet was an opportunity for Qiao Ruoxing to stand out in the celebrity circle. If she had the ambition to be the matron of the Gu family, she would definitely seize this opportunity.
The old lady guessed the ending but not the process.
It's not that Qiao Ruoxing is ambitious, but she has already offended Zhong Meilan thoroughly.
The person who stole her limelight at the jewelry show, turned around and fired her, and then yelled at her like that on the phone. Now the relationship between the two only maintains a superficial calm.
Even if she really leaves the birthday banquet to Zhong Meilan, Zhong Meilan may not accept her favor.
Anyway, everyone has already been offended, so it is better to grab what you can, such as the birthday banquet gift.
Ten years ago, the gift money could reach nine figures. Ten years from now, it won’t be less than ten years ago, right?
Qiao Ruoxing just came out of the kitchen carrying fruit when she bumped into Gu Jingran.
Gu Jingran leaned against the wall, an unlit cigarette dropped from his mouth, and his eyes dropped lazily.
When Qiao Ruoxing saw him, the corners of her lips curled up, and she turned and walked towards the living room.
Gu Jingran put the cigarette behind his ear, stepped in front of her, took a strawberry from the plate and played with it, "Sister-in-law, I haven't seen you for a long time. Why are you so cold when you see me?"
Qiao Ruoxing raised her eyes coldly, "Get out of the way."
Gu Jingran glanced at the plate in her hand, and suddenly stretched out his hand to hold one side. His fingers brushed ambiguously against Qiao Ruoxing's fingertips, and he curled his lips and said, "It's so cold, so I'll help you take it."
Qiao Ruoxing avoided her touch and said in a deep voice, "Gu Jingran, you are really stubborn. It's not enough for you to play outside. You have your thoughts on me. Are you crazy?"
Gu Jingran curled his lips and said, "Sister-in-law, am I wrong to say this? Weren't you the one who took the initiative in the beginning? Why did you say that I spent the wedding night with you too, are you too ruthless to me?"
Qiao Ruoxing glanced at him gloomily, "Gu Jingran, if you have the guts, if you say this to Gu Jingyan, guess what he will do to you?"
Gu Jingran didn't care, "Even if I said it, I'm still the victim in this matter."
Qiao Ruoxing suddenly said, "Husband, did you hear everything?"
Gu Jingyan turned his head suddenly, and a layer of cold sweat rose on his back.
As a result, there was no one behind him.
He was fooled by Qiao Ruoxing.
Gu Jingran raised the corner of his lips, "Sister-in-law, I haven't seen you for half a year, you are more interesting than before."
Qiao Ruoxing was too lazy to pay attention to this scoundrel, and said coldly, "Get out of the way!"
"What's the hurry? It's a rare opportunity to meet, and I want to reminisce with my sister-in-law..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Qiao Ruoxing looking behind him in surprise, "Husband?"
Gu Jingran sneered, "Sister-in-law, the same trick, do you think I will be fooled?"
"What fool?"
Behind him, Gu Jingyan's voice came coldly.
Gu Jingran's body froze, and he turned around and put on a natural smile, "Nothing, just chatting with my sister-in-law."
Gu Jingyan glanced at him and looked at Qiao Ruoxing, "Grandma asked you to help me apply medicine."
Qiao Ruoxing said, "Wait for me to send the fruit plate to the living room."
Gu Jingyan took it and threw it to Gu Jingran, "You take it over."
Gu Jingran...
Qiao Ruoxing watched Gu Jingran leave with the fruit plate, then curled her lips and cursed in her heart: Coward!
"What did he just say to you?"
