The old lady nodded, as if nothing had happened just now, and waved to the third aunt with a smile: "Come over and wrap it up together."
"Okay." The third aunt responded with a busy smile and followed the old lady to the kitchen.
The old man was supported by Chu Zhaoyang and sat on the sofa.
Chu Zhaoyang made tea for the old man and his third uncle, and then personally put the cup into the old man's hand.
"This is the Taiping Houkui you like to drink." Chu Zhaoyang's voice was steady, with a faint smile, and he seemed not to be affected by Chi Yiheng's incident at all.
The old man's expression looked better now.
His grandson was a capable person.
He took a shallow sip, nodded and said: "Not bad."
Seeing that the atmosphere relaxed due to Chu Zhaoyang's words, the third uncle also breathed a sigh of relief.
But then, the old man asked: "How much do you know about Chi Yiheng?"
The third uncle said "ah" in confusion, and the old man said "heh" and said: "Stop pretending, you usually have a good relationship with the fourth uncle, and you are quite close to your second uncle's family."
The third uncle sneered, "It's not that we know each other well. Just two months ago, Chi Yiheng suddenly found second uncle's house. I wasn't there at that time. I don't know how they could talk. Later, second uncle asked us to go there. At home, we met with Yiheng formally. At that time, just like today, he showed us the appraisal report directly."
Third uncle wanted to speak but stopped.
"Say it." The old man said angrily, "You are so old, don't be hesitant."
Third uncle smiled and said: "Actually, even if Chi Yiheng recognizes his ancestor and returns to the clan, it won't have any impact. After all, he is a later one. We just don't let him know about the Chu family's affairs. After all, he is also a child of the Chu family. It's not good to let him live outside. Besides, eldest only have one son."
The old man also knew that it was because he was the only son Chu Jiayuan had left that he did not insist on opposing it to the end.
Otherwise, even if he and the Second Old Master really fall out completely, the old master will not let a trouble like Chi Yiheng enter the house.
Hearing what third uncle said, the old man sneered: "You are still thinking too little."
The old man had already told Second Old Master just now, but now he really couldn't muster the energy to say it again, so he looked at Chu Zhaoyang.
Chu Zhaoyang understood and expressed his doubts about Chi Yiheng, saying: "Now what is his background, what forces are behind him, and why he has so much power and ability at hand, we are still investigating. Nothing coming out. As far as his matter is concerned, the fact that "Thorns" can't find out is worthy of our warning."
"He has no roots in the Chu family. It's easy to handle by not letting him know about the Chu family's affairs. But what if he affects the Chu family because of his own affairs? After entering the genealogy, he is a member of the Chu family. We can take care of it. Although I can't control him, we can hide the Chu family's affairs from him, but Zhaoyang can hide his own affairs from us."
"We don't know anything about him, so we are even more unprepared for it. Looking at second grandfather's attitude towards Chi Yiheng today, can we really hide the Chu family's affairs from Chi Yiheng in the future?"
Third uncle also fell silent, agreeing with Chu Zhaoyang's words.
Yeah, given Second Old Master's attitude today, the guilt and the fact that Chu Jiayuan left behind a child, Second Old Master wishes he could give the best to Chi Yiheng, so how could he hide the Chu family's affairs?
The affairs of the Chu family were not concealed, and Chi Yiheng secretly did some unclear things, which in turn hurt the Chu family.
Third Uncle's scalp feels numb just thinking about it.
He did not doubt the old man's and Chu Zhaoyang's speculations.
Since the two of them could talk about it, this speculation was probably true, but there was no evidence for it yet.
Third uncle's face was a little red. At his age, he could not see things as clearly as Chu Zhaoyang.
No wonder Chu Zhaoyang was able to develop Chutian so well, and it was not just because of the family leader's abilities.
The old man has a good impression of third uncle, at least better than his own son.
Third Uncle was smart, not in terms of how quick his brain was, but in terms of being able to listen to other people's advice.
The so-called advice that was offensive to the ears meant that even if it was not pleasant to the ear, he will listen to it if he thought it makes sense.
Wasn't this also a kind of cleverness?
Others could think of things that he could not think of, and he could listen to what others say.
This was also a kind of wisdom.
Third uncle was not arrogant because Chu Zhaoyang was younger than him, and he thought that he didn't need to listen to what Chu Zhaoyang said.
Nor did he feel embarrassed or angry because he was not as good as Chu Zhaoyang.
For this reason alone, he was much better than Chu Jiahong.
At first, Chu Jiahong was not so obvious, but after Chu Zhaoyang became better and better and the gap between Chu Jiahong and Chu Jiahong became wider and wider, Chu Jiahong became more and more displeased with his son.
The old man was in a bad mood because of Chi Yiheng's incident, but now he felt happy again because of his third uncle's reaction.
"Okay, let's not talk about those heavy topics during the Chinese New Year. Let's not mention these unpleasant things today. Zhaoyang, go find a few bottles of wine and let's have a drink tonight." The old man patted his knee, "It's not too late. Let's wait until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year to talk about Yiheng's affairs, so let's not think about that for now."
Chu Zhaoyang nodded and went to find a drink.
Chu Zhaoyang also did not tell Gu Nian about Chi Yiheng.
Thinking that tonight was New Year's Eve, it was also the first year that the Gu family had really spent together. If he say it, it will inevitably make them troubled.
He'll talk to Gu Nian again in two days.
The old man and them ate slowly and leisurely, not in a hurry, drinking a little wine, eating a little food, and mostly chatting.
They'll chat slowly until 12 o'clock. After that, they could eat dumplings.
The old lady looked at the table full of people.
Although it was not as lively as in previous years, the atmosphere was much better than in previous years.
