At this time, the sound of talking was heard in the living room. Xiao Shu walked over carefully, hid behind the railing in the empty space of the living room, and looked down with her long and thick eyelashes hanging down.
Gu Qianjing leaned lazily on the crimson velvet sofa, her long seaweed-like hair spread out on the armrest, her long eyelashes drooping, her slender fingers holding a dinner menu, her eyes fixed on the menu.
Spicy lobster
Spicy Crispy Tripe
Spicy Assorted Seafood Hot Pot
Spicy Ginger Chicken Feet
Boiled pork slices
Fish head with chopped pepper
Dessert is durian mille-feuille
The drink is passion fruit lemonade
Gu Qianjing looked at the menu with interest. Are all the rich ladies so down-to-earth? Their taste is quite similar to hers. They love spicy food.
If it was Gu Qianjing herself, she would be satisfied with this spicy and satisfying menu, but… she frowned her beautiful willow-shaped eyebrows.
”What’s about Xiao Shu’s dinner?”
The housekeeper looked at Gu Qianjing with a bit of surprise, then immediately realized that he had overstepped his bounds, bowed his head politely, and answered respectfully,
”The young master’s nutritionist is still kneeling on the balcony. Moreover, the young master has been eating white porridge with pickles for dinner recently. You said…you said that it is difficult for children to digest if they eat too much.”
The corner of Gu Qianjing’s mouth twitched. Is this even human language?
The child is in the growth period, and only eats white porridge and pickles every night? No wonder Xiaoshu is so thin and small. He is already 5 years old. The 5-year-old children Gu Qianjing has seen in real life are half a head taller than Xiaoshu.
And the vicious maid kneeling on the second floor turned out to be Xiao Shu’s nutritionist. She probably didn’t do her job as a nutritionist all day, but was in cahoots with the vicious original owner.
Gu Qianjing raised her thin eyelids and looked at the housekeeper, “Do you have a pen?”
The butler took out the pen from the chest pocket of his suit and handed it to Gu Qianjing with both hands.
Gu Qianjing took the pen and added and subtracted from the menu. Finally, the menu became:
Seafood porridge, steamed sea bass, cheese lobster, braised chicken feet, and sweet and sour sweet and sour pork.
After the changes were made, Gu Qianjing was still a little worried and showed the menu to the housekeeper, “Can a 5-year-old child eat these dishes?”
The butler lowered his head and took a closer look, then replied cautiously, “The young master will probably like it. The seafood porridge is very nutritious, and children like the taste of cheese.”
Gu Qianjing handed the menu to the housekeeper and said, “Prepare according to this first, and hurry up to hire a new child nutritionist.”
The butler took the menu and turned to leave.
”Wait.” Gu Qianjing’s voice sounded behind the housekeeper.
The butler was already accustomed to Gu Qianjing’s ever-changing behavior. He walked back to Gu Qianjing’s side without changing his expression, bent down, and asked, “Madam, do you have any other instructions?”
”Find 10 applicants for the nutritionist position first. I want to interview them personally!”
”Okay!” The butler turned and left.
I don’t know if it’s because he is a paper man, but this butler is like an emotionless machine. No matter what Gu Qianjing says, he has no other emotions except obedience.
Suddenly, a slight noise was heard from the hollow space in the high ceiling of the living room. Gu Qianjing looked up and saw a thin figure running away quickly and disappearing behind the railing.
At this time, in the kitchen of the villa, the butler who had been expressionless just now was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes, and he was repeating to the chef incoherently what had just happened.
”The Madam not only severely punished He Chun, but also changed the evening menu to lighter dishes without chili peppers, saying that they were for the young master to eat.”
The chef was a short, fat, and honest middle-aged man. He couldn’t help but wipe away his tears when he heard what the housekeeper said. He swore, “I will make a good meal tonight so that our young master can have a good meal.”
The housekeeper wiped his tears, patted his sturdy shoulders, and nodded continuously.
As the sun gradually set and the light in the room dimmed, Gu Qianjing put down the romance novel in her hand, stood up and turned on the light.
With a “click”, the gorgeous crystal chandelier in the living room lit up, casting dazzling light on the smooth marble floor.
Under the gorgeous lights, the furnishings in the room seemed so luxurious that they didn’t seem real.
At this moment, He Chun, who had been kneeling on the cobblestone ground for nearly 5 hours, fainted. After the housekeeper poured cold water on her and pinched her Ren Zhong repeatedly, He Chun slowly woke up.
Looking at Gu Qianjing who was looking at her coldly with her arms folded, He Chun rushed forward and hugged her legs, crying, “Madam, I won’t dare to do it again. Madam, please forgive me this time.”
Gu Qianjing pushed her away in disgust, “What did you do wrong? Tell me!”
He Chun fell to the cold ground and stammered in her defense, “I was wrong for not listening to my wife and not satisfying her.”
Gu Qianjing shook her head, “It seems you are still stupid!”
She turned around and said to the housekeeper, “Call all the servants in the house. I have something to say.”
In just over ten minutes, a group of people surrounded Gu Qianjing. In addition to the housekeeper, there were five or six people she had never met, including the driver, nanny, chef, etc.
Gu Qianjing turned her head and scanned them one by one, then looked back at He Chun on the ground and said word by word,
”From now on, in this family, Xiao Shu is also the little master. I hope you can all take good care of him. If anyone thinks that he is too young to be bullied and takes some crooked ways, I will never let him go easily!”
”He Chun, your mistake is not that I am not satisfied with you. Your mistake is that you are so vicious and treacherous. This family will never keep someone like you!”
”No, ma’am, I am…”
He Chun burst into tears, she wanted to say that she did all this to please Gu Qianjing, but He Chun was not stupid, she immediately realized that she would die a more miserable death if she told the truth, so she shut her mouth abruptly.
Gu Qianjing glanced at He Chun with disdain and began to arrange her “afterlife”.
”Kick He Chun out of the house and inform her employment company of her bad behavior. From now on, this vicious woman will not be allowed to work as a child nutritionist.”
He Chun’s face turned pale when she heard Gu Qianjing’s “verdict”.
She had made tremendous efforts to obtain the internationally recognized “Child Nutritionist Qualification Certificate”, and Gu Qianjing’s words undoubtedly ruined her career.
After seeing He Chun’s expression, Gu Qianjing suddenly said, “Oh, no!”
Hope rekindled in He Chun’s eyes, hoping that Gu Qianjing would forgive her this time.
Gu Qianjing showed a sarcastic smile at the corner of her lips and said in a deep voice, “Not only child nutritionists, but also any industry related to “children” will not allow her to get close to them!”
This was the final verdict. He Chun collapsed on the ground like a puddle of mud. She wanted to cry but had no tears. She didn’t know what went wrong. Gu Qianjing suddenly seemed like a different person.
The housekeeper and the driver dragged away He Chun, who was as limp as a puddle of mud, and the others followed her downstairs.
At this time, a thin figure walked out from behind the curtain. Xiao Shu heard everything Gu Qianjing said just now. His big eyes were full of confusion. Why was his mother a little different today?
After a farce, it was time for dinner. The housekeeper helped Xiaoshu wash his hands and put him in the baby chair.
The long table was filled with steaming dishes, emitting an enticing aroma.
Although Xiao Shu was silent and aloof, he was only a 5-year-old kid after all. He had been eating white porridge for several days in a row. Seeing the table full of delicious food, he couldn’t help but secretly swallow his saliva.
”Eat, Xiaoshu.” Gu Qianjing saw that Xiaoshu didn’t move his chopsticks and winked at him.
Xiao Shu hesitated and stretched out his children’s chopsticks to the steamed sea bass closest to him and picked up a piece of white fish meat.
”Wait a moment!”
As soon as Gu Qianjing spoke, Xiao Shu was so scared that his chopsticks shook and the fish fell back into the plate.
Xiao Shu stared at her, protesting silently.
Gu Qianjing picked up the piece of fish and carefully picked out the bones inside. After making sure there was no danger, she put it back into Xiaoshu’s bowl.
When the housekeeper saw this, he quickly stepped forward and asked respectfully, “Madam, do you need me to serve the young master?”
Gu Qianjing did not answer his question directly, but asked Xiaoshu for his opinion first, “Xiaoshu, do you want the housekeeper to help you serve the dishes?”
Xiao Shu paused holding the chopsticks, his eyes fixed on the boneless fish in the bowl for a long time, before he nodded gently.
The butler’s mouth twitched for a moment, then tightened. His good professionalism allowed him to control his smile in time, and he quickly took out the serving chopsticks and began to feed the little master.
Lobster meat covered with rich cheese and delicious seafood porridge were served to the children’s bowls. Although Xiao Shu was very hungry, he ate in a very elegant manner, chewing his food slowly and politely.
Seeing Xiaoshu eating so sweetly, Gu Qianjing ate a little more without realizing it.
After dinner, Gu Qianjing felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach, so she prepared to go for a walk in the garden to digest the food.
She invited Xiao Shu, “Xiao Shu, do you want to take a walk in the garden with me?”
Xiao Shu was about to go upstairs when he paused, turned around, and stared at Gu Qianjing with his big grape-like eyes in confusion.
According to Xiaoshu’s past experience, if he refused, he would face torture again.
But when Gu Qianjing saw his hesitation, she just smiled and nodded, “Then I’ll go by myself. If Xiaoshu doesn’t want to go, just go and do your own thing.”
Xiao Shu turned around and ran upstairs quickly, as if he was worried that Gu Qianjing would regret it if he ran too slowly.
Gu Qianjing was a little disappointed, but she also knew that she should give the child more time. She sighed and went to the garden alone.
At 9 o’clock in the evening, the housekeeper found Gu Qianjing who was strolling around with her mobile phone in hand, “Madam, Mr. Lin called.”
Gu Qianjing lowered her head and saw an incoming call popping up on the screen of her mobile phone, which read “Dear Husband”.
She felt a little nervous because Lin Mingqi was the male protagonist of this story.
The genius man who graduated from the top international business school at the age of 18, took over the family business at the age of 20, and in just 7 years, jumped from barely making it onto the rich list to become the top ten on the international rich list.
Gu Qianjing can handle herself well in front of the servants, but she doesn’t have the confidence that she can deceive this man. If he notices any clues, with Lin Mingqi’s methods, he will definitely hand her over to the country for research.
She answered the phone under the housekeeper’s scorching gaze, and a deep and magnetic male voice came from the receiver, “It’s me!”
Gu Qianjing on the other side of the phone nodded frantically, “Yeah, yeah, I know it’s you.”
”Yeah.” Lin Mingqi responded briefly, “Where’s Xiaoshu? I’ll talk to him.”
”Upstairs, I’ll pass the call to him.” Gu Qianjing said this quickly, and threw the phone back to the housekeeper like a bomb, “Boss Lin wants to talk to Xiao Shu, you hurry up and pass the phone up.”
The emotionless robot butler turned and walked away.
Lin Mingqi on the other end of the phone frowned strangely. Every time Gu Qianjing called him, she would always talk to him for a long time, which made him very annoyed. Why was she so straightforward today?
Gu Qianjing walked a few steps in the garden and suddenly realized that something was wrong. Xiao Shu couldn’t speak at all. How could Lin Mingqi talk to Xiao Shu?
