“Grandfather, please accept this gift from Ah Hui. It’s a gift from her. She’s been working on it for a long time.”

Fu Siye went forward and took the pill back from Ye Zhi. He sealed it carefully.

The others gasped in shock.

“She made it herself?”

“Does she think that pills are some kind of handmade gift? She actually dares to give grandfather all kinds of wild chicken pills?”

When he heard the discussion, Old Master Fu was obviously displeased. However, when he saw his beloved grandson’s solemn expression, he sighed.

“Since you like them so much, then I’ll accept them.”

He said that he would accept the gift, but he hastily threw it on the table next to him and looked up at Mu Hui.

He said, “Miss Mu, you’re still young. You really need to learn some manners. Be a lady and don’t be late for important banquets. After all, you’re someone who follows Fu Siye around. If you make a mistake, you’ll embarrass the Fu family.”

Mu Hui was very calm at that moment. She replied, “Grandpa Fu, you’re right. I’ll remember it.”

Although she had a tough personality, she could distinguish right from wrong. This cold-faced but warm-hearted old man was someone who truly treated Fu Siye well.

So, she decided to not argue with him.

In the original book, Old Master Fu suddenly fell ill and died a miserable death. She really did not want that to happen.

After seeing that Mu Hui did not argue with Old Master Fu, Ye Zhi’s parents snorted coldly.

“Siye, where did you find your girlfriend? Don’t you know anything? You even made your grandfather angry.”

“Exactly. Giving medicine on birthdays? That’s not something that can be put on the table.”

When Mu Hui heard that, she was smiling. They actually thought that she was really a soft persimmon.

“Mr. Ye, Mrs. Ye, right? You guys must have put a wonderful gift on the table. I wonder what birthday present you’re giving Grandpa Fu today? I’m also very curious to see it.”

This was because she knew that this couple was the kind of people who liked to take advantage of others when they had nothing to do. They even took advantage of Ye Junqing’s relationship and treated her as half the master of the Fu family. How could they possibly meticulously prepare gifts for others?

Mu Hui’s words directly informed Old Master Fu that the two of them came empty-handed.

As expected, the Ye family’s faces stiffened when they heard Mu Hui’s question.

“Uh, Old Master, we originally prepared a gift today… But…”

“But…”

The two of them could not speak for a while.

“Aiya, it’s all mother’s fault.”

Ye Zhi came up and spoke coquettishly.

“Grandpa Fu, we originally bought you a very beautiful amethyst cup, but when we were about to leave, mother accidentally broke the cup. As we were pressed for time, we didn’t have time to prepare other gifts. I’m sorry, Grandpa Fu…”

“Ah Hui, my mother didn’t do it on purpose. She’s also very sad. Don’t bring up her sad matters anymore. Are you trying to make her sad? Even though you always talk like this, I still hope that you can let my mother go. It’s better to be magnanimous and happy.”

After saying that, Ye Zhi asked Old Master Fu again, “Grandpa Fu, do you think I’m right?”

Old Master Fu glared at Mu Hui.

“Did you hear that? This is what a real daughter of a family should be like. You’d better learn from her. Don’t be so stingy.”

“Grandpa, don’t you believe in the person I chose?”

Fu Siye was frowning at that moment. He reached up and wrapped his arm around Mu Hui’s waist. His strong and protective attitude was very obvious.

Mu Hui did not avoid him. She held Fu Siye’s hand using both hands. The two of them intertwined their fingers and looked at each other.

Old Master Fu noticed how strong she was. It was as if she was showing off that she could control Fu Siye. He was displeased once again.

The Ye family secretly looked at Old Master Fu’s expression. When they saw that there was an opportunity, they quickly walked up and smiled.

“Although it’s said that you can fall in love with anyone you choose, it’s different when it comes to getting married. It’s better to have daughters-in-law from a large aristocratic family who are ladylike so that they won’t be laughed at by others.”

“When Junqing was still alive, she once said that our Ye Zhi was steady, sensible, and the most cultured. She is the most suitable daughter-in-law for the Fu family.”

At the mention of Ye Junqing, Old Master Fu’s expression softened.

“Mmm, Junqing is right.”

Fu Siye suddenly said coldly, “That’s right. Then let Aunt Junqing marry Ye Zhi.”
