The contract is set: Mr. Su will be captured obediently

All the servants in Xia Zhai already knew that Qiao Airuo was Xia Daoyuan's granddaughter, and they changed their name to Qiao Airuo at the same time. When Qiao Airuo came to Xia Zhai for the first time, they liked her very much. Now they know that Qiao Airuo It is self-evident that she is the granddaughter of the owner's family.

They are basically old people who have served Xia Zhai all their lives. They have witnessed the sad events between Mr. Xia and his wife and daughter, and they have shed tears many times behind their backs. What happened to him?

But now that they have found such a beautiful and capable young lady, they are all happy for Xia Daoyuan. Sure enough, the heavens are still open, and good people will eventually be rewarded.

"Miss, it would be nice to have us in the kitchen, come early in the morning, and take a lunch break too." Seeing Qiao Ai Ruo coming to the kitchen after eating, Mama Li immediately persuaded her.

With a gentle smile on Qiao Airuo's face, she smiled and said to Li's mother: "It's okay, I have time in the afternoon, and I want to make something for grandpa, so don't stop me."

After hearing this, Mama Li couldn't bear to stop her anymore, and said with a smile: "Okay, if there is anything you need to help, Miss, just tell me."

Qiao Airuo stopped rolling her sleeves, and said: "Hey, I just have something to ask you, Mama Li, you know grandpa's preferences best, can you tell me what grandpa likes and dislikes? "

"Miss, you're asking the right person. Master, he's a picky eater..." Mama Li had a smug smile on her face. She was the one who knew Xia Daoyuan's preferences best in the entire Xia Zhai.With a smile on the corner of Qiao Airuo's mouth, she took out her mobile phone and wrote down what Mama Li said seriously.

Seeing that Qiao Airuo remembered so seriously, Li's mother tried her best to explain all the details to Qiao Airuo clearly.

As soon as Qiao Airuo finished memorizing it, Tang Mo walked in and handed the bag in his hand to Qiao Aieruo: "Mr. Qiao, this is what you want. Boss, just say what you want. I will be at your disposal this afternoon. "

Qiao Ai Ruo took it with a smile: "Thank you, you'd better go help your President Su, he didn't go to the company this morning, and I'm afraid he'll be too busy this afternoon, so I'll call you if something happens. Oh, that's right," opened A tea tray was brought out from the fresh-keeping box next to it: "This is chrysanthemum tea that I brewed earlier, please take it to the study."

"OK!" Tang Mo gave her a cheering gesture, took the tea tray, then turned and left the kitchen.

"Miss, Mr. Su is your boyfriend, right?" Mama Li had a gossip look on her face, and her face was the legendary typical aunt's smile.

Qiao Airuo carefully washed the purple sweet potato on her hands, and generously admitted: "Yes."

"Miss has a really good vision. Not only is the master full of praise for Mr. Su, but even the people below us think that Mr. Su is a rare young talent, even better than the master's closed disciple, Mr. Zhong Qingfeng. "Mother Li said with a smile, remembering everyone's discussion before.

Xia Zhai has always been a more civilized atmosphere, because Xia Daoyuan doesn't like too clear hierarchy, he has told the people below not to be too cautious, so the people below often dare to joke in front of Xia Daoyuan, and now there are only a few servants in Xia Zhai. A young man, and the others are basically old people who have served the Xia family all their lives. The way they get along with Xia Daoyuan is more like old friends.

Qiao Airuo smiled and turned to look at Mama Li, and then said: "Okay, Mama Li, if you praise me again, I will be proud, you should help me to see if the materials are ready."

On the other side, Tang Mo returned to the study room on the second floor with the tea tray in his hand. He knocked on the door lightly, and then went in. The layout inside fits perfectly with the overall layout of the summer residence. They are all antique, Tang Mo Turning around a corridor, I saw Su Shaoxi sitting behind the desk and reading the mail carefully.

The desk that was supposed to hold the Four Treasures of the Study has been sorted out to make it easier for Su Shaoxi to work.Su Shaoxi sat there with her back straight, which matched the aura of the mahogany hollowed-out background behind her.Tang Mo couldn't help sighing, the boss's appearance is really amazing, no matter where he sits, he will add luster to the background.

Su Shaoxi had sensed Tang Mo coming in a long time ago, but he had been standing in one place, not intending to come, but staring at him instead. He raised his eyes, and his deep eyes swept towards him: "What are you doing standing there?"

Tang Mo was awakened instantly by his eyes, and then came over with a silly smile, and put the tea tray in his hand on the table: "Boss, this is the chrysanthemum tea that Mr. Qiao personally prepared for you. He said that drinking it is very refreshing. You can drink it now." point?"

The smile on his face was so inexplicable that Su Shaoxi frowned slightly: "Put it down, you go out."

"Okay boss." Tang Mo still had the same smile, and was about to turn around to leave, but a cool voice came from behind: "Put that stupid expression on your face away for me."

Tang Mo almost stumbled when he left. He silently put away the smile on his face and left the room quickly. At the door, he happened to meet Leng Yuan who was about to go in to deliver the documents, and the two almost bumped into each other.

"Watch the road!" Leng Yuan reminded with a cold face.

Tang Mo supported the wall and retorted: "It's obvious that you walk silently, you scared me to death."

Leng Yuan didn't bother to pay attention to him, opened the door and went in.

Tang Mo stood at the same spot, watching his leaving back, and complained silently in his heart, alas, Leng Yuan was really led by the boss, he was obviously not so cold when he was a child, but with his current personality, no woman would dare to want him in the future.

But, remembering what Qiao Ai Ruo said just now about Qingliang Jianghuo, he has that expression on his face again. It seems that our cold boss must be very anxious in front of the woman he loves.

The phone in his hand vibrated twice, and when he saw the newly sent document from the little secretary below, his playful expression was instantly put away, it was time to work again, and it would be happier to eat melons.

If Qiao Ai knew what he was thinking at the moment, she would definitely be very speechless. She obviously made some tea for Su Shaoxi to cool down the heat because of the hot weather. God knows that Tang Mo would come up with so many messy thoughts.

……

As night fell, the lights of the entire summer house were turned on, and the garden behind was illuminated by the palace lanterns, which looked very hazy and beautiful. The breeze blew from the bamboo forest, blowing the gauze hanging between the pavilions, and blowing the nearby lotus pond The red flowers and green leaves in the garden seem to express the joy of the owner of the house welcoming the long-lost relatives.

In the main dining room, everyone has already taken their seats. Xia Daoyuan is sitting in the upper seat. On his left is Su Shaoxi, and on his right is Qiao Airuo. Li Ma brought the last soup and put it by everyone's hand, then said to Xia Daoyuan with a smile. : "Master, this is stewed by the little lady herself. Purple potato and white fungus soup, you can try it."

With an expression of surprise in his eyes, Xia Daoyuan looked at Qiao Airuo, who helped him open the lid of the soup pot, and then handed him the spoon with great anticipation in his eyes: "You have a taste."

"Okay." Xia Daoyuan said with a smile, the purple potato and white fungus intertwined in the soup pot, the color is very harmonious, plus one or two slices of small green onion on top, it will make people appetite in this hot summer.

He gently scooped out the warm soup with a spoon, and then drank it without hesitation under Qiao Aieruo's expectant eyes. It was not greasy at all, and it was very refreshing. He exclaimed: "It tastes really good!"

"It's fine if you like it." Qiao Ai Ruo's nervous heart instantly relaxed. Even in the most difficult and dangerous time of starting a business, she was never so nervous. She moved her soup cup to Xia Daoyuan's direction: "Do you like it?" Just drink more, I asked the doctor, this soup can reduce summer heat and lower your high blood pressure."

"You drink too, or Grandpa won't drink." Xia Daoyuan "threatened" her.

Qiao Ai Ruo couldn't help laughing: "Okay, then let's drink together."

"Shaoxi, you drink too." Xia Daoyuan gestured to Su Shaoxi who was sitting on his left.

"Okay." Su Shaoxi withdrew his eyes from Qiao Airuo, opened the soup cup, and drank the soup in a noble and elegant posture.

Qiao Airuo stared at his movements closely, even though Su Shaoxi had eaten her cooking several times, but for some reason, every time he ate her cooking, she was always nervous. Looking at her, his eyes were full of smiles: "It's delicious, Ruoruo's craftsmanship has always been good."

"It seems that Shaoxi can always eat the food cooked by Ai Ruo?" Xia Daoyuan saw it.

Su Shaoxi smiled lightly: "Yes, I have been lucky enough to eat it a few times." He looked at Qiao Airuo with obvious pampering in his eyes: "There will be surprises every time."

Seeing the expressions of the two, Xia Daoyuan was very happy in his heart. As a man, he could tell that Su Shaoxi took Qiao Airuo to heart and liked him.

He also thought about what kind of other half Xiaoyi would have in the past, but unfortunately... the expression on his face became sad, and he asked: "Ai Ruo, you just tell me that your mother married you when you were ten years old. Your father passed away by accident, how about you, how did you spend the following years?"

"I... I had a good life. My mother's good friend in the orphanage, that is, my godmother, brought me back to the United States to take care of me. I went to school in the United States. Later, I started a business with my friends and established a company. Back home Huaguo." Qiao Ai Ruo said the selected part.

Xia Daoyuan was happy at first, but then he felt that something was wrong. Xia Yi grew up under the doting of him and her mother. Everyone has all the skills of a lady, and she is also very good at cooking, but she is very innocent in her dealings, not at all like Qiao Ai. If you look at things this way, you will be very transparent in doing things: "Ai Ruo, don't hide from grandpa, what is going on, tell the truth, grandpa wants to know."

"I..." Qiao Ai Ruo didn't want to say, what happened back then is over, and she didn't want to make Xia Daoyuan feel sad.

"Huh?" Xia Daoyuan waited for her next text.

Xia Daoyuan's expectant eyes made Qiao Ai Ruo unable to bear it, but she still spoke. She just briefly talked about her experience in the United States, including why she was abandoned in the orphanage, how she lived independently, and how she went to college. , met a good friend now, and then started a company.
