The day An An came over to get acquainted with En Bao.
Early the next morning, Gu Qinghan came over to pick up Yan Qi.
Yan Qi explained to Enbao: "Mommy has something to do and won't come back until evening. Can you stay at home with Sister An An?"
Enbao subconsciously clenched Yan Qi's sleeves tightly because he didn't want his mother to leave.
But he was very sensible, holding back his tears and nodded: "Enbao is waiting for mommy to come back."
"Be good." Yan Qi kissed Enbao's forehead.
After Yan Qi left, An An stared at Enbao in a daze.
It's been a day and a night, but An An still can't accept it.
How could Mrs. Yan Qi be so good and have such a big son?
Too exaggerated.
An An couldn't believe it. She led An An to sit on the sofa and asked him softly: "Enbao, are you really Mrs. Yan Qi's son?"
Enbao nodded: "Enbao is mommy's good baby."
An An scratched her head: "Then where were you before? Why haven't I seen you?"
Enbao explained seriously, "I used to live in an orphanage.
Mommy is the most powerful person in the world, and there were many people lining up to grab her. I am the best-behaved, obedient and smartest person, so I grabbed Mommy."
Live in an orphanage?
An An understood, it turned out to be an adopted child.
But why was Mrs. Yan Qi adopted by herself, why not adopt with Mr. Gu?
An An really couldn't figure it out.
It was not easy to say anything more to a child, so An An could only suppress her doubts in her heart.
Mrs. Gu's birthday was not celebrated with any great fanfare.
Mrs. Gu is old and has experienced many things. Many external things have long been ignored.
All she wants now is peace and harmony with her family.
So, just a simple family dinner.
Not many people came. Apart from Gu Qinghan and Yan Qi, there were only a few close blood relatives on the Gu family side. The rest were Mrs. Gu's relatives from her natal family, including a niece and a nephew.
A total of more than a dozen people sat down at a table.
When Yan Qi and Gu Qinghan arrived, everyone else had already arrived early and was talking to Mrs. Gu in the living room.
"Qing Han, Yan Qi, come and sit here with grandma." Seeing Yan Qi and Gu Qinghan, Mrs. Gu was very happy, holding Yan Qi's hand and looking at them.
He said happily: "My complexion looks much better, not as pale as before. Young people should take good care of their bodies. Don't stay up late to lose weight just because you are young. It is not good for your health."
Yan Qi chuckled: "Grandma, don't worry, I won't lose weight, I'm still keeping in good health."
"Really?" Mrs. Gu was surprised.
The people next to him also joined in the fun and praised Yan Qi for looking good.
Only one person looked unhappy and spoke in a strange tone, "Auntie, you can't just care about your grandchildren and not us.
We came here last night and have been with you for so long, but we haven't even gotten a single kind word from you. Your niece-in-law has just arrived and you only care about her. It's really too partial."
The person who spoke was Gu Qinghan's cousin.
She was very upset and felt that Yan Qi, the granddaughter-in-law, was really too much. The old lady did not come in advance for her birthday.
He came from a small family and was really not well-educated.
As an aunt, she has to set rules for her.
Yan Qi frowned slightly as he heard the meaning behind his cousin's words.
This was Gu Qinghan's relative. She didn't want to make things too tense, so she pretended not to hear and was about to change the subject.
Gu Qinghan's voice sounded next to her ears, "Of course grandma loves us more. I am grandma's grandson. If my cousin wants to be favored, he can go to your grandma."
Gu Qinghan's voice was calm and calm, but it made her cousin instantly turn pale.
She suddenly remembered that Gu Qinghan had just arrived, and what she just said must have made him worry.
Thinking of this, my cousin quickly said: "Qing Han, you misunderstood, I don't blame you for coming late. You are usually busy with work, and a company as big as Gu's must be extremely busy, and time is precious.
However, it doesn't matter if you are busy with work, your wife has to support you.
She wants to remind you to come back early. If you can't come back, she will come back by herself and organize a birthday party for her aunt.
The granddaughter-in-law of the Li family cooked 70 dishes for her grandma on her birthday. This is called filial piety.
Your wife doesn’t say she’s cooking 70 dishes, but she should be cooking 20.”
"Cousin." Gu Qinghan turned his eyes lightly, "I respect you as an elder, and some things should not be said too much.
I will only say two things. The first is that I did not marry Yan Qi to make her work. I wanted to love her, respect her, and give her the greatest freedom.
My wife is the treasure I hold in the palm of my hand. If my cousin can't stand it, you can leave immediately, but you are not allowed to accuse her or judge her.
The second thing is that filial piety does not necessarily mean cooking. Yan Qi prepared another gift for grandma.
I know my wife, she is very filial to my grandma, and I don’t need my cousin to make irresponsible remarks here."
After the words fell, everyone fell silent, and their attitude towards Yan Qi was a little more cautious.
Yan Qi also looked at Gu Qinghan. She did not expect that Gu Qinghan would speak for her on such an occasion.
When she was young, she encountered similar scenes several times.
The parents of the Su family are so loving. When my mother was embarrassed by relatives of the Su family, my father did not stand up to speak for her.
Moreover, my mother expressed her understanding.
Mom and dad think that in this kind of situation, it is best for men not to interfere, as it will make people laugh. And it is just a little grievance, which will happen to any new daughter-in-law.
As time goes by, when the new wife has established herself, this kind of thing won't happen.
The richer the family, the more it pays attention to rules, and the more shackles the daughter-in-law is subject to.
But Gu Qinghan broke the routine. He spoke for her and did not allow her to suffer any grievance.
Because of Gu Qinghan's resolute attitude, everyone who had previously despised Yan Qi did not dare to speak anymore.
They were afraid of Gu Qinghan.
In an instant, Yan Qi felt that everyone's attitude towards her had changed. They were all smiling, and some people took the initiative to talk to her and praise her.
Feiyu, the daughter of her cousin, wanted to make amends because her mother said something wrong.
He took the initiative to talk to Yan Qi and praised Yan Qi's beauty. Since they were similar in age, he also invited Yan Qi to go shopping together.
Gu Qinghan saw this scene and said with a smile: "I heard that Feiyu is starting his own business. Do you need investment from your cousin?"
Feiyu's eyes lit up and she quickly said: "Thank you, cousin."
When the others saw this, they immediately tried their best to please Yan Qi.
Gu Qinghan doesn't refuse anyone who comes, and as long as someone makes Qi Qi happy, he will give back huge benefits.
After a while, Yan Qi became the focus of everyone's attention. The huge cake almost stole Mrs. Gu's limelight.
Mrs. Gu sighed helplessly.
This silly boy is too clear about love and hate. When he doesn't like someone, he won't even give him a look.
When you like someone, you want to give her the best in the world.
Mrs. Gu looked at Yan Qi calmly and saw that she had a calm expression and deliberately kept a distance from Gu Qinghan.
Mrs. Gu's heart sank, and she regretted that she had brought the two of them together like that.
If Gu Qinghan was interested, Li Qi was not interested.
What to do with her grandson?
Mrs. Gu knew Gu Qinghan well. He seemed cold on the outside, but he was the most sincere in his heart, with deep feelings hidden in his bones.
