Looking at Ye Xunhuan's shameless behavior, Qiu Ruoxi really wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
It was so embarrassing.
She had never seen anyone like Ye Xunhuan, who would directly ask others for a gift.
According to the customs in Huaxia, when a new daughter-in-law visits, it's indeed customary for the elders to prepare a red envelope for her, but it's usually up to the elder's discretion, and she had never heard of anyone directly asking for it!
This must be a first for Ye Xunhuan, right?
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan ask for a gift, the already displeased and angry faces of the brothers Qin Shujie and Qin Shuheng, who were upset that Qin Pojun gave the bracelet to Qiu Ruoxi, immediately turned gloomy.
Ye Xunhuan noticed the expressions of Qin Shujie and Qin Shuheng, and with a faint smile, he said, "Uncles, you didn't not prepare anything, did you? If outsiders knew that after the nephew's wife came over, you didn't even prepare a red envelope, you'd be called cheapskates..."
Qin Shuheng took a deep breath, forced a smile, and said, "Of course I'll prepare a gift, but I can't give it today!"
"We can wait until everyone's here tomorrow…"
"Why not just say you didn't prepare anything," Ye Xunhuan said lightly. "I won't call you cheapskates. We're all family here!"
Qin Shuheng's face changed slightly, and just as he was about to say something, Qin Pojun suddenly said, "Alright, alright, let's eat first!"
"You must be hungry after such a long flight!"
Qin Pojun knew that his two sons had never really liked Ye Xunhuan, their nephew, and if this continued, things could get tense.
Since Ye Xunhuan had just returned, Qin Pojun naturally wanted to have a peaceful meal and didn't want to see everyone on edge.
Ye Xunhuan understood Qin Pojun's intentions, so he didn't say anything else and just sat down with Qiu Ruoxi.
After sitting down, Qin Pojun looked at Qiu Ruoxi and said gently, "Ruoxi, Grandpa doesn't know what you like to eat, so I just prepared a little something. Let me know what you like, and I'll have it made for you!"
Qin Pojun was very enthusiastic towards Qiu Ruoxi, and his gaze was filled with deep affection.
Obviously, Qin Pojun was quite satisfied with the granddaughter-in-law his daughter had chosen.
Faced with Qin Pojun's enthusiasm, Qiu Ruoxi was a bit unaccustomed. She originally thought that someone as influential as Qin Pojun would be stern and serious.
But who knew he was like any ordinary elder.
"Gra… Grandpa, it's fine!" Qiu Ruoxi said somewhat shyly, correcting herself. "I'm not picky with food!"
Hearing Qiu Ruoxi's words, Qin Pojun's face broke into a broad smile. "It's good not to be picky. You can adapt anywhere!"
With that, Qin Pojun picked up a piece of braised pork for Qiu Ruoxi. "Here, Ruoxi, try this braised pork, it's Grandpa's specialty. See how it is?"
Hearing Qin Pojun's words, Qiu Ruoxi looked surprised. Qin Pojun could actually cook?
Not only was Qiu Ruoxi surprised, even Ye Xunhuan was.
Qin Pojun was the head of the Qin family; it wasn't easy for anyone to taste his cooking. Now that Ye Xunhuan brought Qiu Ruoxi over, Qin Pojun personally cooked.
This showed how much Qin Pojun valued Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi.
Faced with Qin Pojun's enthusiasm, Qiu Ruoxi didn't refuse and gently picked up the braised pork to eat.
"It's delicious, not greasy, and melts in your mouth!" Qiu Ruoxi said softly. "Grandpa, how do you make it? Can you teach me later?"
"You want to learn how to cook?"
"Grandpa, don't underestimate her!" Ye Xunhuan suddenly chimed in. "My wife isn't like other rich girls; she's an excellent cook, she just doesn't do it often!"
Hearing Ye Xunhuan's words, Qin Pojun's eyes lit up with admiration, and he looked at Qiu Ruoxi with praise. "Great, great, it's rare now for girls to know how to cook, and I didn't expect Ruoxi to know too."
"How about this, we'll make dinner together!"
Faced with Qin Pojun's invitation, Qiu Ruoxi nodded, agreeing.
At this moment, the brothers Qin Shuheng and Qin Shujie were practically invisible, as no one paid attention to them.
As for Qin Rumeng, she wasn't too bothered since it was normal for Qin Pojun to be enthusiastic when Qiu Ruoxi just arrived.
Being ignored didn't feel good, as anyone who has experienced it would know.
So, Qin Shuheng suddenly spoke up. "I thought Phoenix was only interested in Ruoxi's business skills. I didn't expect Ruoxi to also be a virtuous wife and loving mother!"
Virtuous wife and loving mother?
Upon hearing these four words, Ye Xunhuan couldn't help but grumble inwardly. If only Qiu Ruoxi were a virtuous wife and loving mother.
This woman may seem as quiet as a cat now, and she occasionally shows a smile, but that's not how she is behind the scenes.
Of course, this was something Ye Xunhuan couldn't voice.
"Of course, my sister chose Ruoxi for her business acumen too, after all, managing such a large business empire is hard for just Xunhuan alone!" Qin Rumeng suddenly said. "With Ruoxi here, she can help Xunhuan manage Fenghua Group in the future, right?"
After hearing Qin Rumeng's words, the faces of Qin Shuheng and Qin Shujie slightly changed.
What was Qin Rumeng implying? Was she planning to hand over Fenghua Group to Ye Xunhuan?
Thinking about this, Qin Shuheng and Qin Shujie were suddenly filled with gloom.
As for Ye Xunhuan, he could only smile bitterly. This Qin Rumeng, couldn't she just let everyone have a peaceful meal? She clearly knew what these two cared about the most yet still brought up Fenghua Group to provoke them.
This was clearly a recipe for conflict, wasn't it?
At that moment, a gruff male voice suddenly came over: "Little sister, little sister, did you bring my dear nephew and his wife here?"
Hearing this voice, the faces of Qin Shuheng and Qin Shujie slightly changed, but Qin Rumeng displayed a light smile.
In the next moment, a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a pinstripe white shirt and suit pants, strode in rapidly.
The man, sporting gold-rimmed glasses, was gentle and elegant, with a proper appearance. Though he moved quickly, he exuded a poised and calm demeanor with every step.
Upon seeing the man, Ye Xunhuan's face broke into a broad smile. "Uncle!"
With that, Ye Xunhuan stood up immediately!
Qin Shubo, seeing Ye Xunhuan standing up, immediately gave him a bear hug, patting his shoulder. "Good boy, you finally decided to return!"
"Not bad, not bad, you look much sturdier than before, and your face is glowing, seems like life is good in Jiangzhong City."
Then, as if realizing something, Qin Shubo turned his gaze to Qiu Ruoxi. "This must be my niece-in-law, quite beautiful indeed!"
"Here, here, this is a gift from your uncle. Even if you don't like it, don't tell me!"
