Chapter 57: After breaking off the engagement Mr. Si chased his wife to the crematorium!
Chapter 57: Si Yechen Thoughtfulness
"Yes," the steward acknowledged the old master's intention to leave, complying respectfully.
The attitude was almost like directly ushering someone out!
Li Yusha didn't expect such a drastic change in attitude from Grandpa Si towards her after he got to know Ou Yan.
Her embarrassment was palpable.
Even though Grandpa Si instructed the steward to attend to her, she didn't feel like staying, her face burning with embarrassment.
Ou Yan, that country bumpkin, should have caused some trouble. How could she possibly have earned Grandpa's favor?!
How did she manage to do it? How did she gain approval in such a short time?
"Since Grandpa is busy, I'll come another day," Li Yusha stood up, leaving the token of appreciation, "steward please give these things to Grandpa."
"The doctor said that Old Master doesn't need these things as he can't benefit from them," the steward respectfully stated, "Miss Yusha, why don't you take these back to your parents?"
"Steward..." Li Yusha didn't expect the old servant, who used to treat her with utmost respect, to keep his distance now.
"Take these things to Miss Li Yusha's car," steward Wen ordered, clearly understanding her intention in coming today, hoping to become the mistress of the young master.
Unfortunately, the young master's thoughts were now centered on Miss Ou Yan, and even the old master was very pleased with Miss Ou Yan.
She wanted to intervene? No chance!
On the other side,
Ou Yan finished her work and called Song Qiaoying on her phone, "Mom, you don't have to prepare dinner for me tonight."
Before she could state the reason, Song Qiaoying happily exclaimed, "I know, I know! Mr. Si just called to invite you to dinner at his place tonight as he has been discharged from the hospital."
Ou Yan didn't expect Grandpa to personally call her mom for such a small matter, feeling warmth in her heart.
"I also heard Mr. Si say that you saved him before! Although he didn't mention the specifics, during that ten-minute phone call, Mr. Si praised you highly and was very satisfied with you as his granddaughter-in-law!"
Ou Yan didn't expect Grandpa to mention this incident, feeling a bit surprised.
Thankfully, Grandpa didn't mention the details of the rescue, otherwise...
"Baby Yan Yan, how come Mom didn't know that you saved someone? You're amazing!"
While Song Qiaoying was delighted, she also felt the Bai family was ridiculous for letting go of such an outstanding, obedient, and sensible child. They had the nerve to put her up for adoption on the internet!
They simply lost there mind!
"You spend a good evening with Grandfather..." Song Qiaoying said a few more words before reluctantly hanging up the phone.
Li Yusha had just returned home and, upon hearing this, asked in surprise, "Sister saved Grandpa Si before?"
"Yes! I only knew about it from Master Si just now! I didn't expect Yan Yan to be so low-key!" Song Qiaoying was extremely fond of her biological daughter, who was becoming increasingly pleasing in every aspect.
Li Yusha thought to herself that it was probably when Grandpa Si fell ill, Ou Yan happened to be passing by and performed some chest compressions on him!
Was that enough to win Grandpa Si's heart?
She could do CPR too!
It's not that difficult!
Even books teach it!
It's just a pity she didn't show off in front of Grandpa Si. If she had, Grandpa Si would have liked her, not that rustic!
In the evening,
Grandpa Si stood at the door, anxiously waiting for two familiar figures.
Si Yechen helped Ou Yan out of the car, their intimate demeanor making Grandpa Si's mouth involuntarily curve up!
"Yan Yan, you're finally here! Are you tired from work? Come in quickly..."
As soon as Grandpa Si entered the door, he told the dozens of servants waiting there, "This is the young mistress, be respectful when you see her in the future."
"Good evening, young mistress!" The dozens of servants stood neatly, smiling at Ou Yan.
It was evident that they had been waiting here for a long time; some even had sweat on their foreheads and clothes.
Ou Yan:...
There was no need for such formality...
"Hello." Ou Yan nodded and followed Si Yechen into the house.
The flowers and plants in the courtyard were adorable, and Ou Yan was somewhat puzzled. Wasn't this Grandfather's residence? Why were there so many lovely plants?!
Si Yechen also noticed the changes here. Everywhere he looked, it was renewed, obviously deliberately cleaned up to leave a good impression on Yan Yan.
"Yan Yan, are you hungry? Dinner is ready." Grandpa Si led her to the dining room.
Four chefs and eight servants greeted her respectfully as they saw her.
Ou Yan:...
There was no need for such formality...
"Yan Yan, come over here," Grandpa Si patted the seat to his left.
One of the servants pulled out a chair for Ou Yan, and after she took her seat, Si Yechen sat beside her.
Four chefs personally served each dish, not only were they visually appealing and fragrant, but their presentation was also particularly elegant.
There were dishes like orange fragrant golden melon with bird's nest, black truffle abalone, rose foie gras with caviar, matsutake mushroom and chicken soup, steamed crab with black pork and vinegar sauce, handmade rice cakes with Boston lobster, wild rice stewed with sea cucumber, and so on.
"Yan Yan, try it while it's hot," Grandpa Si personally picked up the public chopsticks to serve Ou Yan.
But before Grandpa Si could, Si Yechen had already taken a piece of Boston lobster meat and naturally placed it into Ou Yan's bowl.
Grandpa Si: Does my grandson have such a considerate side?! Is he seeing things?
Steward Wen beside them widened his eyes, obviously unable to believe what he was seeing! The young master was actually personally feeding the young mistress?
Next, Si Yechen removed the crab shell and placed the crab meat into Ou Yan's bowl.
These days, eating with Ou Yan, he had gotten used to serving her and considering her feelings...
But in the eyes of Grandpa Si and Steward Wen, Si Yechen's actions were as rare as a comet hitting the Earth, making them feel astonished.
"You like seafood, eat more," Si Yechen was fully focused on preparing for her, not taking a single bite himself.
Amidst Grandpa Si's astonishment, he quickly smiled and asked, "Yan Yan, is it tasty?"
"Delicious."
"Thank you for the praise, Young Madam!" The four chefs bowed deeply, extremely grateful for Ou Yan's compliment.
The old master had said that if tonight's dinner could satisfy the young mistress, their wages for the month would double!
"You should eat too," Ou Yan didn't want Si Yechen to be busy, but Si Yechen kept serving her dishes. Whatever she ate a bit more of, whatever she temporarily didn't want to eat, he noticed silently and served her more of what she loved.
"Yan Yan, in the future, come and see Grandfather more often. Grandfather hasn't had such lively company in a long time!"
Before, Si Yechen was busy with work and sometimes didn't come for one or two months...
Although there were dozens of servants in Xiyuan, Grandpa Si's heart always felt empty. But today was different; he had family accompanying him, so this meal tasted especially delicious.
"Okay," Ou Yan obediently agreed.
"In the future, Yan Yan and I will come to accompany you more."
Hearing Si Yechen's words, Grandpa Si snorted in his heart. Before, when I asked you to come, you didn't come, now you're following your wife around!
