Chapter 51 [You are a very good person]

Mr. Fang and Assistant Yan drove to the villa area and stopped at the door of Chen Yan's house. Assistant Yan went up and rang the doorbell. Not long after, the gate was opened from the inside, revealing a thin old man.

Mr. Fang and Assistant Yan were both stunned.

The old man in front of me was shorter than the average person, very thin, with a pair of eyes as small as beans, a flat nose, and how should I describe him... he looked timid.

He was wearing a traditional double-breasted jacket. For an ordinary old man, this outfit would add a bit of elegance, but on him, it looked a bit out of place.

"Who are you?" The old turtle, now named Gui Geng, asked in a serious tone.

Mr. Fang didn't say anything, so Assistant Yan quickly said politely, "We're here to visit Mr. Chen Yan."

"Oh, the young master's guest." Gui Geng shook his head as if shrinking back, and said slowly: "The young master is not at home, he is out on business."

Master?

Mr. Fang and Assistant Yan were both stunned when they heard this title.

In today's society, apart from those truly wealthy families, who else would use this kind of address?

"Old sir, are you...Mr. Chen Yan's elder?" Assistant Yan asked tentatively.

"I dare not, I'm just a housekeeper." Gui Geng shook his head.

housekeeper?

It seems that this young teacher Chen is no ordinary mortal. He is both a young master and a housekeeper.

Mr. Fang glanced at Assistant Yan, who calmly shook his head, indicating that when he came before, there was no such person in the house.

Although Gui Geng was a turtle cultivator, he was quite capable of being a housekeeper. He cleared his throat and said, "Since you are the young master's guest, please come in and take a seat. The young master may not be home, but the mistress is."

Another mistress? From the sound of it, this means Teacher Chen's mother has arrived?
The title "Mistress" made Mr. Fang and Assistant Yan a little confused.

Mr. Fang immediately smiled and said, "Since the elders are at home, we should pay our respects to them according to etiquette."

Gui Geng opened the door and made way for Mr. Fang to limp in. Assistant Yan asked Gui Geng to open the gate and let the car in, while he directed the driver to unload the gifts from the car.

Mr. Fang followed Gui Geng across the yard and then entered the gate of the villa.

As soon as I opened the door and stood in the entrance hall, I saw a graceful figure sitting on the sofa in the living room.

Mr. Fang was stunned.

Gui Geng walked in, and the old man smiled and said, "Madam, there is a visitor. It's a friend of Master Chen Yan."

Gu Qingyi turned around and glanced at Mr. Fang standing at the door. A hint of nervousness flashed in her eyes for no reason.

The girl sat cross-legged on the sofa, holding a bowl of instant noodles in her left hand and a pair of chopsticks in her right hand. She stared at Mr. Fang who walked in with her big watery eyes.

Mr. Fang was stunned.

It's not that I'm attracted by your beauty, but...

Is this the mistress?!
Although Mr. Fang has not been to school for many years, he has been in contact with people from the Xuanmen who like to follow the traditional style over the years. He at least knows some tricks about the names.

The girl in front of me is the mistress?

Looking at this girl's age, if she could give birth to a big boy like Chen Yan...

That simply challenges human biology!
its not right.

If this girl is Chen Yan's woman, then she shouldn't be the mistress, but the young lady, right?

His wild thoughts made the smart Mr. Fang forget to speak for a moment.

Gu Qingyi slurped a mouthful of noodles into her mouth, stretched her neck hard, and swallowed it. She quickly put down her bowl and chopsticks and took a deep breath.

The little girl pretended to be calm and said, "Well, are you Chen Yan's guest? Please come in."

This sentence brought Mr. Fang back to his senses. He smiled awkwardly and walked into the living room.

Gu Qingyi sat on the sofa, staring at Mr. Fang with wide eyes, then secretly put down her crossed legs and sat properly.

If it were before, she wouldn't care how many people she met every day in the Internet cafe, but now... her identity is a bit embarrassing.

Because... this time, I am his biological mother.

Well, how should a stepmother speak and act?

How do I introduce myself?
Gu Xiaoniang was also a little at a loss.

After coughing, Gu Qingyi pretended to be calm and glanced at Gui Geng beside him: "Go, make some tea."

Mr. Fang's heart moved. What a sweet voice! But why did her voice have the accent of the three northeastern states?
Gui Geng was also stunned when he heard this.

What do you want me to do?

I just learned how to use a vacuum cleaner today.

Making tea...I don't know how!
"No, no, don't bother. I'll just sit for a while and leave."

Mr. Fang quickly waved his hand, sat on the sofa, looked at Gu Qingyi, and now he came to his senses. Looking at this young girl, Mr. Fang, who had seen countless people, couldn't help but be amazed.

This kind of woman is a good match for the capable teacher Chen... But... what's the matter with the mistress?
Do young people nowadays play so extravagantly?
Or is it just part of the play?
Mr. Fang had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but of course he couldn't say it out loud - if he really said it out loud, he might not be able to walk out of this room alive today.

"Well... my last name is Fang, and I'm friends with Mr. Chen Yan. He helped me with some things before. It's almost Chinese New Year, so I brought some New Year's goods." Mr. Fang smiled and said, "It's just a small gift. Please don't..."

"Okay, Gui Geng, go and collect it."

Ok?
Mr. Fang hasn't finished his polite words yet.

Uh...is this considered a straightforward personality?

"Um, when will Mr. Chen Yan be back?"

"I don't know." Gu Qingyi shook her head: "He went out to buy something. He should be back for dinner."

As he spoke, Gu Qingyi glanced at the electronic clock on the small coffee table, and was actually a little unhappy.

That guy ran away and hasn't come back for almost a day.

Gu Qingyi was too embarrassed to say it out loud—she had been hungry all day.

Poor Gu Xiaoniang had only learned how to make instant noodles these days. She was so hungry that she made a bowl, but she only had time to take a bite before she was interrupted.

Mr. Fang looked at the young girl with a smile - she was such a pretty girl, even Mr. Fang had never seen one before, but the girl looked a little stiff and nervous.

He was waiting for Chen Yan to come back. Since he had come to give a gift, it would be best to put the favor into practice. Only by meeting him in person could the best effect be achieved.

His eyes darted around the room, and suddenly he saw the dishes and chopsticks placed on the small coffee table next to the sofa. Mr. Fang's heart moved, and he smiled at Gu Qingyi in front of him: "I wonder what your name is to Mr. Chen Yan?"

"Hmm..." Gu Qingyi was no fool. She knew that if she directly said "I am his stepmother", it would be too shocking, so she said vaguely, "I am considered his relative and elder."

Elders? Mr. Fang was slightly startled, then he understood: It's not surprising, probably some kind of clan relative or something. This kind of situation where people of similar age have a huge generation gap is quite common in the countryside.

Mr. Fang himself has a distant uncle in his hometown who is only in middle school.

Well, they are distant relatives with a high generation, um... as long as they are within five generations, it is not unusual for a young boy and a young girl to fall in love.

Mr. Fang exchanged a few casual pleasantries and found that the little girl was very serious in answering questions. She would think for a moment before answering each sentence and was obviously a little nervous.

But... in between greetings, this girl always couldn't help but glance over to the side to look at the bowl of instant noodles?
Mr. Fang laughed heartily. "I'm not saying anything, but you young people just don't pay enough attention to your diet. Eating instant noodles occasionally is fine, but eating too much is bad for your health."

Gu Qingyi curled her lips, glanced at the bowl - it was almost soaked dry, and shook her head: "Chen Yan is not at home, and I can't cook."

"Ah?" Mr. Fang smiled. "In that case, it's better to meet by chance than to invite each other! I've always wanted to treat Mr. Chen Yan to a meal. Since we've met today, why don't you let me be the host?"

As he spoke, he beckoned Assistant Yan, who was standing at the doorway of the living room, over: "Find a nearby restaurant and order a banquet and have it delivered."

"Okay." Assistant Yan nodded immediately, then looked at Gu Qingyi: "I wonder if you have any dietary restrictions?"

"I don't eat beef."

"Okay, I've written it down."

After saying that, Assistant Yan smiled politely, turned around and went out to make a phone call.

Gu Qingyi turned to look at Mr. Fang, a genuinely happy smile on his face. He spoke in a low voice, earnestly saying, "Mr. Fang, you are a very good person."

When Chen Yan got home, it was already dark.

As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Gui Geng standing outside the gate waving at him.

"Master, there are guests at home."

"Hmm?" Chen Yan strode over and threw a bunch of red candles and other things he had bought to Gui Geng: "What guest?"

"Fang."

Chen Yan guessed who it was as soon as he heard it. Sure enough, after entering the room, he saw Mr. Fang sitting in the restaurant talking, and a table full of dishes was already set on the table.

"Teacher Chen!" Mr. Fang saw Chen Yan come in and quickly stood up and limped over to greet him. He grabbed Chen Yan's hand and shook it vigorously a few times. "I'm taking the liberty of visiting you, please don't be offended!"

Chen Yan looked at Mr. Fang with a smile and said, "Mr. Fang, you're too polite. You've been having trouble walking lately, so don't go traveling so hard."

"I really want to make friends with you, Teacher Chen! As long as you don't be so formal with me, that's all." Mr. Fang said with a smile, "When I came here, I knew there was no cooking at home, so I took the initiative to have some food delivered. Coincidentally, it was delivered just as you arrived home."

Chen Yan glanced calmly at the dining table full of various dishes, and then saw Gu Qingyi walking out of the kitchen.

Gu Qingyi came over, looking a little shy, and whispered, "Well, Xiaoyan, this Mr. Fang gave you a lot of things."

She has a natural clip-shaped voice, which means she speaks seriously, but when it comes out of her mouth, it always makes people feel a little coquettish.

Chen Yan nodded, and the other party sighed: "Boss Fang, I am really embarrassed by this."

"It's just a small token of my appreciation. I've prepared some New Year's goods to give to my clients and friends, and I happened to have one for you as well." Mr. Fang waved his hands repeatedly.

"Okay, I won't be polite then." Chen Yan looked at the table and said, "Today I'll offer you a gift. Let's eat and talk at the same time. Mr. Fang, please come to the table."

At the dinner table, Mr. Fang had originally wanted to ask Assistant Yan to fetch two bottles of fine wine from the car—he was a businessman in the limelight, and he always kept a few bottles of fine wine in his car as a backup. However, Chen Yan insisted that he didn't drink, so he gave up.

But when the meal was almost over, Mr. Fang looked meaningfully at Gu Qingyi, who was sitting next to Chen Yan and was eating rice seriously...

He called Assistant Yan to his side and gave him a few instructions.

Assistant Yan went out immediately and came back a moment later with an exquisite packaging bag in his hand.

"I came in a hurry and only bought some New Year's goods. I didn't realize that Teacher Chen had female relatives at home. I was inconsiderate before! This thing is my New Year's gift to Miss Gu."

The packaging bag had two intertwined letter Cs, one facing up and the other facing down. Inside the bag was actually a women's bag, which Mr. Fang had originally bought to take home to please his wife.

When I came to Chen Yan's place today, I found that there was a young and beautiful beauty in his house, so I simply took this thing out.

Mr. Fang thought that terms like mistress and elder were just something young people called out for fun.

This girl lives with Chen Yan, and she seems shy and embarrassed when talking to Chen Yan.

If these two aren't a couple, I'll gouge my eyes out!
Mr. Fang was very clear in his mind that pleasing this girl might be more effective than directly pleasing Teacher Chen.

really!

Chen Yan took a look, paused for a moment, and then nodded, saying, "Boss Fang, it's such a kind gesture, I'd be grateful if you didn't give it up. So, I'll go visit you again in a couple of days. Boss Fang mentioned earlier that he wanted to collect some magical instruments, so I'll prepare one for you then."

Mr. Fang didn’t know that Chen Yan didn’t refuse because he was too lazy to explain the complicated relationship between him and Gu Qingyi.

A Xiang brand bag, and then I can go back and get a white jade amulet to return the favor.

Mr. Fang was overjoyed when he heard this. Although there was no wine on the table, he raised his teacup to toast Chen Yan.

The guests and hosts enjoy a meal together.

Mr. Fang then said goodbye. When Chen Yan walked him out of the courtyard gate, Mr. Fang whispered, "Old Zi from Luo Yunzhai came to see me today and gave me some compensation. I think he wanted to make peace."

Chen Yan nodded and smiled knowingly, "Then the house repair project is completed."

"This money was only given to them after you made a move, so my plan is to transfer half of it to your account after I get it..."

"No need." Chen Yan immediately refused. "Mr. Fang, you've already paid for the house repairs. I like to deal with things one way or the other. The compensation you're given is because of the suffering you've endured before. I won't take a single cent of this money."

His words made Mr. Fang stunned for a moment. After a moment's hesitation, he nodded vigorously. "Okay! Teacher Chen, let's get to know each other slowly in the future! I, Fatty Fang, never let my friends suffer any loss."

After seeing off Mr. Fang and Assistant Yan, Chen Yan just returned home and saw Gu Qingyi busy in the kitchen.

Gu Xiaoniang found two thermal boxes from the kitchen and put some food in them.

"what are you doing?"

"I saved two dishes from the meal delivered today."

"Saving it for tomorrow? Actually, no need. Eating food that's been left out overnight is bad for your health."

"I'm not saving it to eat tomorrow. I need it." Gu Qingyi shook his head and said, "I have to go out for a while and will be back later."

The two dishes left were roasted pork with chestnuts and fermented rice wine meatballs.

Gu Qingyi remembered that the proprietress said these two dishes were her favorites.
