The arrival of Qu Qiangwei and her grandfather made Xiahao Yunting and others head directly to the front courtyard.

Previously, in Jiangzhong City, Ye Xunhuan had learned from Qiu Ruoxi's mouth that Qu Qiangwei and Qiu Ruoxi had almost grown up together, which showed that the Qu family and the Xiahao family had quite a good relationship.

Now that the old man from the Qu family and Qu Qiangwei had come, Xiahao Yunting couldn't possibly shut them out, right!

So Xiahao Yunting went to the front courtyard, while Qiu Ruoxi was too lazy to go.

Qiu Ruoxi currently has no good feelings towards Qu Qiangwei.

Since Qiu Ruoxi didn't go, Ye Xunhuan naturally wouldn't follow either, after all, Ye Xunhuan was also not interested in Qu Qiangwei.

Moreover, Qu Qiangwei chose this exact moment to come, isn't it a bit too coincidental?

While Xiahao Yunting went to the front courtyard, Ye Xunhuan asked about Qu Qiangwei's grandfather.

Ye Xunhuan learned from Qiu Ruoxi that Qu Qiangwei's grandfather is named Qu Chengwu, a man somewhat sly and cunning, but he maintains a surface of amiability, appearing very kind, yet secretly harbors deceit.

Based on Ye Xunhuan's understanding of Qiu Ruoxi, even if she dislikes someone, she wouldn't slander behind the person's back, so Qiu Ruoxi's words are most likely true.

After a couple of questions to Qu Chengwu, Mu Shuyi pulled Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi inside the house.

Meanwhile, in the main hall of the Xiahao family's front courtyard, Qu Qiangwei and an elderly man were sitting on the right side's chairs, sipping aromatic tea, looking leisurely and content.

Today, Qu Qiangwei was wearing a beige one-piece bodycon dress, her graceful figure fully revealed, plus her features were already exquisite, now with a touch of makeup, she appeared even more dazzling.

The elderly man had short hair which perhaps was dyed or for some other reason, his hair was not silver-white but jet-black and shiny, though he had a bald forehead.

The elder wore a Tang suit, exuding a very refined aura, giving a remarkable impression at first glance.

This elder was precisely Qu Qiangwei's grandfather, Qu Chengwu!

Not long after, Xiahao Yunting walked in from outside.

Just as he stepped into the main hall, Xiahao Yunting's loud voice, like a great bell, resonated around the area!

"Old Qu, how come you're so free today to pay me a visit!"

Qu Chengwu didn't feel offended or displeased by Xiahao Yunting's "Old Qu" address, instead, his face was filled with a smile: "Brother Xiahao, haven't seen each other for a while, just thought I'd drop by!"

As Qu Chengwu's words fell, Qu Qiangwei immediately stood up and respectfully called, "Grandpa Xiahao!"

To this, Xiahao Yunting responded with a smile.

"It's been some time since I saw little Qu, you've been getting prettier!" Xiahao Yunting politely said: "Whoever marries you in the future will be blessed."

There's no woman who doesn't like to hear compliments, including Qu Qiangwei.

Upon hearing Xiahao Yunting's words, Qu Qiangwei replied with a hint of shyness and joy: "Grandpa Xiahao, you're teasing me, compared to Ruoxi, I'm nothing but an ugly duckling!"

"Don't underestimate yourself!" Xiahao Yunting replied seriously: "Although you can't compare to my granddaughter, you're certainly outstanding!"

Originally feeling slightly shy yet happy, Qu Qiangwei, upon hearing this, felt a multitude of imaginary horses galloping in her heart.

I was just saying it casually, yet this old man agreed so straightforwardly.

If Ye Xunhuan were here, he would definitely understand why Qiu Ruoxi is so poor at small talk, it's hereditary!

Look at this old Xiahao, isn't he just as awful at conversational skills?

With talk like that, outside, he would totally be sowing seeds of enmity.

Although displeased with Xiahao Yunting's remark, Qu Qiangwei dared not complain, still maintaining a smile.

"Brother, I heard Qiangwei say that Ruoxi got married when she was away for days?" Qu Chengwu suddenly said.

"Yes!" Xiahao Yunting swiftly admitted: "She got married!"

"Brother, that's not right, Ruoxi grew up under my watch, such an important matter as her marriage, you didn't tell me, are you looking down on your old brother!" Qu Chengwu pretended to be stern and said: "Or do you think your old brother can't produce a decent gift!"

"What can you a stingy old coot come up with!" Xiahao Yunting disdainfully glanced over Qu Chengwu.

A slight twitch appeared on Qu Chengwu's face: "Brother, with your conversational ways, someone could beat you to death outside!"

"That's why I stay inside, to avoid getting beaten to death!"

Qu Chengwu was left speechless, Xiahao Yunting's shamelessness was unmatched.

"Brother, I heard from Qiangwei that Ruoxi married into a prominent family?"

"Yes!" Xiahao Yunting nodded: "In the business world, the formidable Fenghua Group was founded by his mother!"

"So it's Qin Fenghuang's son." Qu Chengwu inquired straightforwardly: "Qin Fenghuang is indeed a woman of unparalleled talent, throughout Huaxia's fifty years, few could compare."

"Ruoxi marrying her son is quite fortunate indeed."

"It has to be, how could Xiahao Yunting's grandson-in-law fall short?"

Qu Chengwu smiled: "Certainly not, but brother, this Ye Xunhuan's father has always been a mystery, as you might not be aware from your time indoors, there's talk outside…"

"That he's an illegitimate child?" Xiahao Yunting remarked, neither too light nor too heavy.

Qu Chengwu sighed slightly, nodding.

"People have their own mouths, they can say whatever they please." Xiahao Yunting said indifferently: "Besides, do you think I care about those empty reputations?"

"Of course not!" Qu Chengwu immediately shook his head: "If you cared about empty reputations, you wouldn't have secluded yourself here for so long."

"But brother, I have to say, though I mean no harm, just a consideration for Ruoxi, who practically grew up before my eyes!"

"When did you start behaving like an old woman, dilly-dallying!" Xiahao Yunting grumbled: "Just say it outright!"

Qu Chengwu didn't speak immediately but glanced at Qu Qiangwei: "Qiangwei, why don't you tell Grandpa Xiahao."

Qu Qiangwei nodded cautiously: "Grandpa Xiahao, don't get angry with what I'm about to say!"

"Am I someone who gets angry easily?"

"I visited Jiangzhong City for a while, met Ruoxi, and also met Ye Xunhuan." Qu Qiangwei said softly and cautiously: "At first glance, he seemed nice, but later I discovered he's involved with many women…"
