Chapter 226: Surprise After Shock

Qin Shu tilted her head and glanced at Fu Tingyan. She was a little surprised that he would speak up for her.

Fu Tingyan glanced at Qin Shu, he thought, “What are you looking at? I’m helping my brother.”

The old madam looked at Fu Tingyan. She thought for a moment and also felt that what he said made some sense.

“What little Yan said makes some sense. After the college entrance exam, the school schedule would be more relaxed. I will be busy during the day. I can find time to go to Bright Garden to teach Qin Shu at night,” Xu Wei said.

This reminded the old madam that the college entrance exam was coming up, which meant that it was also summer vacation.

“Summer vacation starts in a few days. Xiao Shu has nothing to do anyway, so it’s settled. Let’s eat.”

Qin Shu didn’t say anything. She picked up her chopsticks and started eating.

No one noticed the smile that came across Xu Wei’s face. Xu Wei also picked up her chopsticks and began to eat.

Fu Tingyan shrugged helplessly. He did and said everything he could. It was really not his fault that he couldn’t make the situation pleasing for his brother.

After dinner, the old madam brought the three of them to the pavilion in the backyard to chat.

There was a gazebo in the backyard. Behind the gazebo was an artificial mountain. A lotus pond sat to the right-hand side.

The lotus flowers in the pond were all blooming at the time.

Sitting in the gazebo, besides the rustling of the leaves in the wind, one could also hear the sound of insects from time to time.

On the stone table in the gazebo, some melons and fruits had just been taken out of the refrigerator. They were all cut, and there was a fruit fork next to the fruits.

Xu Wei chatted with the old madam. Her jokes amused the old madam.

Qin Shu sat obediently at the side. She would occasionally jump in and amuse the old madam as well. But she was actually wondering if Fu Tingyu had returned to Bright Garden.

Xu Wei suddenly looked at Qin Shu and asked, “Qin Shu, what do you think is the most important thing to look out for when in the upper-class society?”

The old madam also turned her head to look at Qin Shu, waiting for an answer.

Qin Shu was distracted, so she didn’t hear what Xu Wei said clearly. She looked at the two people sitting across from her. One was waiting for her to make a fool of herself, while the other was looking forward to hearing her answer.

What did Xu Wei say just now?

Fu Tingyan, who was sitting at the side and quietly eating melons, was bored by the women’s conversation.

He had just finished eating a piece of melon and was about to take another piece when he noticed Qin Shu’s troubled state. He coughed lightly and said, “Grandma, sister-in-law was not born into a wealthy family. How could she know what to look out for when in the upper-class society? Isn’t asking her something like this troubling for her?”

Xu Wei was not pleased with what Fu Tingyan did. Why was Fu Tingyan always helping Qin Shu? Didn’t he hate Qin Shu a lot?

Qin Shu now knew what Xu Wei’s question was. Since Fu Tingyan had covered for her, there was no need for her to answer the question.

The old madam was stunned when she heard what Fu Tingyan said, but she soon laughed. “Little Yan is right. How could I have forgotten? You’ll know all about etiquettes as you get more involved in this world in the future.”

To ease the awkwardness, Xu Wei picked up the fruit fork, got a piece of watermelon from the fruit plate, and handed it to the old madam. “Grandma, please eat a watermelon.”

The old madam smiled and took the watermelon from Xu Wei. She brought it to her mouth and took a bite. The watermelon was very sweet.

“It’s quite sweet. You guys should try it too.”

Xu Wei also got a piece of watermelon for herself and took a bite. “Grandma, it’s so sweet.”

Qin Shu had already eaten two or three pieces of watermelon. She picked up another one. Then, out of the corner of her eye, she saw fireflies beside the artificial mountain. She suddenly remembered the fireflies that Fu Tingyu struggled to prepare for her. This made Qin Shu think of an idea.

She stood up and walked out of the gazebo. While eating the watermelon, she walked toward the artificial mountain.

When she reached the artificial mountain, she looked at the dancing fireflies in the grass and walked over.

She reached the grass field. Qin Shu was about to bend down to catch a firefly when a big hand covered her mouth.
