Chapter 83

Xiao Yichen also put a large bowl of food into Xia Yunxuan’s bowl, “Xuanxuan, you should eat more, you’re too thin, you need to gain some weight, otherwise you’ll be uncomfortable to hug.”

Gu Beihui almost spat out the food in his mouth. He swallowed it without chewing and took a sip of soup before he felt better.

Boss: “I’m still here, you’re treating me like I’m invisible. Be careful what you say. It’s fine if you choke me, but if you scare your wife, how are you going to handle it?”

Xiao Yichen glanced at him, “You know you’re treated as invisible, not a person. You should be more aware of yourself. Can’t you just pretend to be hard of hearing and not hear that?”

“You’re a real light bulb, a 600-watt one at that. When our house is built in a few days, you’ll eat in the new house by yourself, I’ll be here with my wife, so we don’t have to see you getting in the way.”

Gu Beihui was about to cry, he said pitifully, “Boss, no, you can’t do this to me. I’ll be more sensible, I’ll eat at the door when it’s time to eat, okay? I definitely won’t hang around in front of you and your wife.”

Xia Yunxuan: “Alright, hurry up and eat. Yichen is just joking with you. Do you really think he’ll leave you alone and ignore you?”

Gu Beihui: “Sister-in-law, you’re the best. You’re not like Boss, who wants to bully me all the time and dislikes me. Why am I so miserable?”

Xiao Yichen: “It’s so embarrassing to watch, it’s so painful to the eyes. Your acting is so bad, you’re so ugly, a big man acting like a woman, so whiny. How did he become friends with someone like this? He must have been mentally underdeveloped when he was a child.”

“Ah…,” Xia Yunxuan and Xiao Yichen both looked at Gu Beihui. What happened? He was eating well just now, it was just a joke, wouldn’t he really be angry?

Until they saw Gu Beihui’s hand shaking uncontrollably, like he had Parkinson’s disease. He picked up a piece of ginseng and said tremblingly, “Sister-in-law, don’t tell me you put ginseng in the soup. This must be hundreds of years old ginseng. Sister-in-law, you’re wasting it!”

“If my old man saw me drinking so many bowls of ginseng soup, he would be furious. If I see him in the future, I can’t mention it, or my butt will be in trouble.”

Xiao Yichen: “You’re so pathetic. That’s your own fault. You drank so many bowls of soup and didn’t realize there was ginseng in it. I tasted it on the first sip. You’re so stupid, who can you blame?”

Gu Beihui: “Boss, I was just too surprised. I didn’t expect Sister-in-law to be so rich. Sister-in-law, please accept my knees. You use ginseng to make soup, I’m just too surprised.”

Xia Yunxuan: “I also saw that you worked too hard today, so I made some soup for you to replenish your energy. Second brother, don’t be a blabbermouth and tell others, or next time there won’t be anything good for you.”

Xiao Yichen: “Xuanxuan, don’t worry, if he dares to be a blabbermouth, I’ll throw him out immediately and pretend I don’t know him. When I go back, I’ll tell Old Man Gu that he drank a lot of ginseng soup.”

Gu Beihui: Quickly covered his mouth and chuckled, “Boss, don’t worry, I won’t say anything, I won’t say a word, I won’t say anything even if I die. You can’t tell Old Man Gu, you know he treasures these things.”

Actually, Xiao Yichen wasn’t calm either. He knew Xuanxuan had secrets, but he didn’t expect them to be so big. He used such precious ginseng to make soup. She must have more than one. What kind of goddess did he find? She’s a walking god of wealth.

He just didn’t say it out loud. Looking at the food they ate at home every day, they never ate coarse grains, and some dishes he hadn’t even seen in restaurants in Beijing. Where did a rural girl get them?

He could only say that Xuanxuan had a big secret. After they got married in a few days, he had to subtly remind Xuanxuan not to reveal too much, otherwise it would cause trouble for her. In this era, everyone is poor, and when they see something good, who wouldn’t want to have it?

Should he call his old man for help? He was afraid that if he wasn’t careful, Xuanxuan would be in danger. But then again, wouldn’t that be even more conspicuous? He was panicking. Everyone around his old man is a person of status, it would be too eye-catching, absolutely not.

Xia Yunxuan: “You two are supposed to be noble young masters from Beijing, why are you like this? This is meant for people to eat, what’s the point of not eating it?”

Gu Beihui almost fell over. His sister-in-law was too generous. This was hundreds of years old ginseng. In Beijing, a single root would cost thousands or tens of thousands of yuan.

Gu Beihui thought, either his sister-in-law was too generous and didn’t need these things, or she didn’t know the price of ginseng. Should he remind her?

With Boss around, he shouldn’t try to curry favor. Now Boss is very petty, afraid that he would get close to his wife. Humph, he wouldn’t steal Boss’s girlfriend, he didn’t have the guts.

He was especially afraid of Grandpa Xiao. He was a veteran from the battlefield. One glare from him, and he would run away immediately.

Xiao Zhanshan: Humph, you little rascal, you’re smart. If you dare to steal my granddaughter, when you come back, I’ll break your legs.

After dinner, Gu Beihui found an excuse to leave. He had a mission. If he messed it up, Boss would definitely punish him. If he did well, Sister-in-law would probably like him.

Boss and Sister-in-law were both people he couldn’t afford to offend, so he, the one who did the hard work, had to do his best to serve the two bigwigs.

However, he also enjoyed dealing with scheming people, especially seeing them get their just deserts, being buried by the pits they dug themselves. It would be very exciting.

After Gu Beihui left, Xiao Yichen pulled Xia Yunxuan onto his lap and carefully probed, “Xuanxuan, I know you have secrets. I’m glad you don’t have any reservations with us. In front of outsiders, you must not reveal them. People’s hearts are always insatiable.”

Xia Yunxuan looked seriously at Xiao Yichen’s face and said, “Yichen, of course I know. We’re about to get married, we’re family, I don’t want to hide it from you.”

“As for Gu Beihui, you’ve known him since you were young and played together, which proves that he’s trustworthy. Otherwise, do you think I’m stupid and would carelessly take out so many good things?”

After feeding the two wolves, Xia Yunxuan said, “Yichen, don’t blink, let me give you a taste of something good so you can feel its effects.”
