“How did you know it was Xie Xin who bought it?” Chu Mo was in a good mood and asked with a smile.
“Who else could it be?” Ye Jiu said nonchalantly, “Could it be Guan Nan?”
“If it were him, he would probably just get a few metal boxes!” Ye Jiu thought of Guan Nan’s cold personality and could not help but tease him.
Chu Mo listened to Ye Jiu’s words and thought of Guan Nan’s face. He could not help but laugh as well.
Chu Mo saw how happy Ye Jiu was and felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
Ever since Ye Jiu came to the Chu family, it seemed that the two of them had never gotten along with each other so easily.
“Oh right… butler Li Sheng just said that Grandmother wants me to come over for dinner tonight…” Ye Jiu suddenly said nervously.
Chu Mo was a little surprised when he heard that.
The Chu family’s old house was divided into the main house and the left and right side houses.
The new building in front of the main house was for Chu Mo and Ye Jiu to live in.
Behind the main house was a courtyard with three entrances and three exits, which was where Old Madam Chu lived.
Chu Mo’s uncle and aunt lived in the left side house with a few nephews and nephews.
The right side house was for guests to stay temporarily.
According to the rules of the Chu family, the family had to eat breakfast together in the dining hall of the main house.
As everyone had different living habits, each house had its own kitchen and small dining hall, so lunch onwards were settled individually.
Old Madam Chu was old and usually did not eat after lunch.
This time, she actually called Ye Jiu over for dinner, which really surprised Chu Mo..
“Didn’t butler Li Sheng say anything else?” Chu Mo looked at Ye Jiu’s nervous expression and asked.
Ye Jiu shook her head and said, “Butler Li Sheng didn’t say anything else. He only said that Grandmother asked me to go alone…”
When Chu Mo heard this, he could not help but feel sorry for her.
He sighed and said, “I’ll go with you…”
When she heard Chu Mo’s words, Ye Jiu’s eyes instantly lit up. “Really?”
Chu Mo nodded with a smile.
Ye Jiu was happy again.
“Actually, I’m not afraid of Grandmother…” Ye Jiu mumbled and explained, “It’s just that I’ve been busy recently… I…”
“I understand…”Chu Mo smiled and reached out to grab Ye Jiu’s hand.
Ye Jiu did not resist and let Chu Mo hold her hand.
When it was close to evening, butler Li Sheng went to Ye Jiu’s room to invite Ye Jiu over for dinner.
Butler Li Sheng did not expect to see Chu Mo in Ye Jiu’s room. He was stunned for a moment before a smile appeared on his face.
“The Old Madam said that if Young Master is here, she will invite him as well,” Butler Li Sheng said respectfully to the two of them.
When Ye Jiu heard this, she looked at butler Li Sheng in surprise.
Chu Mo had already expected this outcome. Without hesitation, he led Ye Jiu to the Old Madam’s house.
From Chu Mo’s new house to the Old Madam’s house, they had to pass through a corridor.
Ye Jiu was led by Chu Mo as they walked between the two houses.
A servant looked at the two of them and stood at the side with her head lowered.
Only when the two of them walked over did they start to whisper.
“Looking at the Young Master’s appearance, he must be really captivated by that vixen!” A maid said with some disgust.
“Exactly! Look at her smile! It’s disgusting!” Another maid echoed.
“Young Master, when will you be able to see the true face of that woman?” The maid lamented that her Young Master was blinded by the vixen.
Lin Ying, who was standing at the side of the corridor, listened to the maid’s conversation and watched Chu Mo and Ye Jiu leave together. Her eyes flashed with a hint of viciousness.
When Chu Mo and Ye Jiu arrived at the dining hall of Old Madam Chu’s residence, Nanny Li was setting up the bowls and chopsticks.
She saw Chu Mo and Ye Jiu enter and said with a smile, “Young master, Miss Ye, you’re here!”
“The food is ready! You can eat soon!” After saying that, Nanny Li turned around and went back to work.
Ye Jiu did not expect Nanny Li to appear here.
Although Nanny Li had been in the Chu family for many years, she had been managing the kitchen at Chu Mo’s place ever since the Old Madam started to eat vegetarian food in recent years.
Old Madam’s food was usually prepared by another chef, Chef Wang.
Thinking about it, it was because Chu Mo and Ye Jiu were coming over to eat today.
Old Madam Chu was worried that they were not used to vegetarian food, so she specially asked Nanny Li to come over to help.
Chu Mo asked Ye Jiu to wait in the dining room while he went to ask Old Madam Chu personally.
Ye Jiu was feeling uneasy in the dining room alone.
She shook her head and walked to the kitchen. She decided to help Nanny Li so that she could get rid of this uneasiness.
“Miss Ye, why are you here?” When nanny Li saw Ye Jiu, she quickly chased her out.
“Quickly go and sit outside. It will be ready soon!” Nanny Li said and went back to work.
“Nanny Li, I am alone outside. Can I help you?” Ye Jiu begged.
Nanny Li looked at the two or three helpers beside her and then turned to look at Ye Jiu who was begging.
She sighed and said, “Then I will have to trouble Miss Ye to help me take this dish out!”
Ye Jiu agreed happily and took the plate and walked out.
