Chapter 482: The rift between the Qin and Chen families
Chapter 482 The rift between the Qin and Chen families
When I heard the servant say that Mr. Chen and his daughter-in-law Mrs. Chen came to visit, Mr. Qin was watching the information that the housekeeper had just checked.
In those days, it was difficult for unmarried babies to settle down. Tang Qi was only at the age of elementary school, so she put her household registration in the name of Tang Jianwen, who had just married. Later, Tang Jianwen moved out of Donghe Village. The household registration was transferred to Tang Jianjun's household registration, otherwise, there would be no way to study at the school near Donghe Village.
Mr. Qin felt sour and astringent when he saw the household registration change information of that line.
How much his little granddaughter suffered in a place they didn't know.
The servant waited for a long time without waiting for Old Master Qin's instructions, so he couldn't help but cast a look of help to the old housekeeper.
The old housekeeper has been the housekeeper of the Qin family for a lifetime, and he knows the temperament of the old man well, so he might not be in the mood to pay attention to the Chen family.
But this Mrs. Chen and the second young lady whom the Qin family had just found were their biological mother and daughter, so it was not easy to dismiss them casually.
The old butler didn't disturb Mr. Qin who was concentrating on reading the materials, he waved at the servant, and the two walked out of the study quietly.
In the living room, Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen sat separately.
Mr. Chen was a frequent visitor to the Qin family. The servant knew him, and politely brought tea and snacks to the two of them, and chatted with Mr. Chen with a smile.
"You haven't come to play chess with our master for a while."
Mr. Chen had something in his heart, so he nodded to the servant indifferently, but didn't say anything.
Upon seeing this, the servant wisely retired and left.
Uncle Fu, the old housekeeper who happened to come over from the study, saw this scene, glanced at the servant coldly, turned to Xiao He who was following him behind him, and said, "Pay that person's salary and let him pack up and leave immediately. "
"Yes."
Xiao He turned around without saying a word.
After Xiao He left, Uncle Fu, the old housekeeper, walked towards the Chen family in the living room lukewarm.
"You two are here."
Looking at the old butler of the Qin family who was more than polite but not respectful, Mr. Chen was stunned for a while.
When he came before, the old butler never greeted him with a smile and a respectful and polite appearance.
And the attitude of the old housekeeper Uncle Fu, to a large extent, is the attitude and thoughts of the Qin family towards the Chen family now.
Mr. Chen suppressed the anxiety and disappointment in his heart, and nodded to the old housekeeper calmly, "Is your master free now? I have some important personal matters to talk to him about."
Uncle Fu's gaze moved calmly on the elegant and demure Madam Chen's face, and he couldn't help sighing.
Sure enough, they are mother and daughter, Mrs. Chen's face is eight-point like the second lady.
Old man Chen saw the old housekeeper's gaze on his daughter-in-law's face, and his heart sank immediately.
It seems that the Qin family already knows.
Uncle Fu, the old housekeeper, withdrew his gaze on Mr. Chen's face, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "The old man has something to deal with, I may ask you and Mrs. Chen to wait for a while."
Mr. Chen dare not say no.
When Uncle Fu returned to the study, Mr. Qin had finished reading the materials in his hand.
He glanced at the old housekeeper and asked in a deep voice, "What did Chen Guoan tell you?"
The three words of Chen Guoan, with a first name and a surname, made Uncle Fu understand that his master really planned to break with the Chen family this time.
In fact, it is not sudden.
In the past month, because the engagement with the Mo family broke down and Qin Jingshu’s reputation was ruined by wrongdoing, the Qin family was frightened and criticized, and the entire upper class in the imperial capital was watching the Qin family’s jokes.
The Chen family, who had been cared for by the Qin family and the old man in the past, chose to stay out of it when the Qin family needed support the most, and didn't say anything at all. Even Chen Guoan, an old friend who was treated by the old man as half a brother, did not visit or I greeted Mr. Qin on the phone once, how could he not be chilled?
The Chen family thought that Mo Shaochen had abandoned Qin Jingshu, and the Qin family would not be able to do so, but who would have expected that Tang Qi, who was held in the palm of his hand by Mo Shaochen, was the second miss of the Qin family?
Uncle Fu's heart turned a hundred times, but he replied without a moment's delay: "Mr. Chen said that there is something important to tell you, and I will let him wait in the living room for you to finish your work."
After he finished speaking, seeing that his old man was still reading the documents, he added: "Second Miss's only close relative is Mrs. Luo who raised her since she was a child. I have already greeted our people from City B, and they will Take good care of the old lady."
Mr. Qin nodded with satisfaction, "You are very thoughtful, it happened so suddenly, I couldn't think of that much at the moment, you must remind me."
Uncle Fu smiled.
Immediately thinking of Mrs. Chen who I saw in the living room just now, the smile on her face deepened, "Although the second lady looks like a mother, her personality and mind are completely inherited from the second master's genes. She is intelligent, confident, calm and independent, and once No. 1 in the senior high school entrance examination in City B."
"I heard that she is also good at skills and has a Qin family style."
Mr. Qin's old eyes revealed a faintly proud smile.
Seeing his master smile, Uncle Fu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
During this period of time, the old man of his family was saddened by the loss of Mo Shaoshen, his grandson-in-law, and was exhausted by the anger caused by the eldest young lady Qin Jingshu, and the whole person was ten years old.
Now a happy event has finally happened, and Uncle Fu only sighs that the will of God is tricking people.
Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen were left to hang out for more than an hour. Seeing that the sun was about to set, Uncle Fu came over and invited them to the study.
As before, the door of the study was open, as if to welcome the two of them.
But Mr. Chen knew very well in his heart that things had changed, and some things were different after all.
When he came before, Qin Dahai greeted him with a smile before he even entered the door.
Qin Dahai has been a soldier all his life, and he doesn't like to be restrained. As long as it doesn't rain, he usually takes him to the backyard to go fishing, play chess, drink tea, and enjoy famous products.
But now, Qin Dahai was sitting calmly on the mahogany sofa in the study, and when he saw him coming, he only cast a dull gaze.
"You're here, sit."
Mr. Chen moved his lips, but didn't know what to say, and finally sat silently on the bottom of Qin Dahai's finger.
Mrs. Chen stood beside her father-in-law and bowed slightly to Mr. Qin, "Elder Qin."
Mr. Qin's old but sharp eyes fell on Mrs. Chen's face.
Really like it.
It's very strange. It's not that he hasn't seen Mrs. Chen before, but he just doesn't have an impression of her voice, appearance, and appearance. Otherwise, he wouldn't have realized that she and Qiqi are mother-daughter until now.
Seeing that Mr. Qin was staring at her like a torch without saying a word, Mrs. Chen couldn't help showing a little nervousness.
She was about to turn to her own referendum to ask for help when she heard the other party say solemnly, "You too, sit down."
Mrs. Chen breathed a sigh of relief and found a separate seat to sit down.
The servant brought hot tea and closed the door of the study when he left.
Mr. Qin calmly greeted the two of them for tea, but Mr. Chen was not in the mood. He had already drunk enough downstairs.
"Big Brother Dahai, you should have known about it, my wife here and Jingxiu..."
"Guoan, I said, drink tea first."
Mr. Qin's voice was neither happy nor angry, but it showed an indescribable majesty.
