On the western outskirts of City Z, there is a tea room hidden deep in the bamboo forest.
Qi Lei came over early, ordered a pot of good tea and some delicious snacks, the whole tea room was already booked, Yang Sheng was waiting beside him.
There is a dedicated luthier in the tea room, who is highly accomplished and can play Guzheng very well.
This place is Dongfang Liuyun's grandfather, the place where Old Dongfang often comes. After so many years, he never expected that this place is still so quiet, and there are quite a few guests every day.
Old Dongfang was originally a very gentle person, he liked antiques, and also liked these ancient rhyme cultures, all of which Dongfang Liuyun told him.
That's why he chose this place and met with Dongfang Shuman.
A string of clear and harmonious notes poured out, and Qi Lei also felt a moment of tranquility, especially the 'Sasa' sound from the cool wind blowing through the bamboo forest outside, which made the world even more silent.
The window on the side was not closed, the stove on the side was full of charcoal fire, the wind was blowing in and it was still quite cold, Qi Lei just sat silently, with a windbreaker draped over his shoulders.
At this time, he was sitting silently.
"Young Master Qi, Mrs. Dongfang is here!"
At this moment, Yang Sheng's low voice reminded him suddenly.
Qi Lei raised his eyes unhurriedly, glanced at Yang Sheng, and then looked out of the window beside him—
I saw a black luxury car driving slowly in the cool wind, and stopped steadily in the parking space beside it.
As soon as the car stopped, a capable woman got off the front passenger seat. She came to the car in the back seat and quickly opened the door—
An elderly lady walked out of the car without haste while leaning on a cane.
The old lady was wearing a black overcoat, and she looked very thin, but looking at her steps and posture, she seemed quite imposing.
She stood at the same place and looked around for a while, as if she had thought of something, she didn't move for a long time, and after a long time, she silently looked back, her old eyes passed through the open window, and looked inside.
Noticing her gaze, Qi Lei smiled and nodded towards her.
Dongfang Shuman paused for a moment, but did not walk over immediately.
"That's how he found this place?"
Dongfang Shuman's old voice came, and he looked at A Cai beside him, but A Cai also shook his head, "I can't think of it, it seems that this place hasn't changed at all, it's still the same as before. I think it may be He found it, otherwise, it was Miss Si who told him."
Hearing this, Dongfang Shuman's eyes became silent for a moment, a dark light flashed in his old eyes, he glanced at Qi Lei calmly, and then said -
"That said, he's still very caring!"
Dongfang Shuman left such a sentence before walking forward, "You don't need to go in, just wait."
"Okay, Mr. Shu!"
A Cai didn't dare to have doubts, so she stopped her steps directly, and Dongfang Shuman had already walked inside.
When he entered, Qi Lei watched her walk over and got up.
"Hello, Mr. Shu! Please sit down, Mr. Shu!"
Yang Sheng who was standing at the side also greeted him neatly, and quickly bent down to pour tea for Dongfang Schumann, but Qi Lei at the side raised his hand to stop him, "You go out and wait for me too, I'll just come."
Hearing this, Yang Sheng was startled, and quickly reacted, bowed to the two of them quickly, and then backed out.
"Grandma, please sit here."
He glanced at the figure that Yang Sheng pushed out, and when he retracted his gaze, Qi Lei's handsome face showed a relief, and he stretched out his hand and said to Dongfang Shuman as a gesture.
Hearing this, Dongfang Shuman looked Qi Lei up and down seriously, then sat down, put the cane aside, and an old voice came, "Don't be so familiar. I haven't admitted that you are the grandson-in-law of the Dongfang family, and Liuyun hasn't brought you to see me yet."
Dongfang Shuman's tone was cold and indifferent, without any hint of joy or expectation.
"You know why she did this. Otherwise, grandma wouldn't have accepted the appointment today, would she?"
Qi Lei didn't feel anything strange either, he sat down calmly, raised his hand and poured a cup of tea for Dongfang Shuman, "Kuding tea, I heard grandma likes this tea too."
Mu Yuchen liked this tea very much, but he didn't expect that Dongfang Shuman would like it too.
After Qi Lei's words fell, Dongfang Shuman also fell silent, narrowing his sharp eyes, looking at him for a moment—
"Did Liuyun tell you?"
After a while, Dongfang Schumann 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 grandma today."
Hearing this, Dongfang Shuman's eyes darkened for a moment, after thinking for a moment, there was no obvious expression on his face, and he was still very indifferent.
She picked up the tea and took a sip silently, letting the bitter taste spread deep into her throat, but she didn't even frown—
"She does what she says. I don't approve of your marriage."
Dongfang Schumann is also a straightforward person, and he doesn't go around in circles.
"I know grandma doesn't approve, so I will meet grandma today."
Qi Lei didn't change his expression, there was still a faint smile on Junyi's face.
"Even so, that can't change anything. Although your previous actions surprised me, Liu Yun's husband should not be you. It's not a question of whether you deserve it, but..."
"But I'm married to her now. In law and in real life, we are both real couples. This is a fact. I didn't make an appointment with grandma today for this matter. It's best if you can admit it, otherwise, it's just It’s so embarrassing.”
Qi Lei said lightly, his tone was very modest, but he didn't mean to be humble.
Dongfang Shuman observed him for a long time before his old face softened slightly. He lowered his eyes and took another sip of tea, "There are not many arrogant young people like you. I have seen those men who are interested in Liuyun. Not many, at least, they are very polite and respectful to me."
"Does Grandma mean that I don't respect you enough?"
Qi Lei raised his eyebrows and asked.
Dongfang Shuman squinted at him, but didn't say anything, just watched him pour tea for her silently.
"Grandma is highly respected, and I naturally respect her. Otherwise, I would not have acted like today. We are all businessmen. The key to solving problems is to find out the problem, analyze the problem, and then solve the problem. This is our businessman. business model, what does grandma think?"
