Xie Tingyue was actually very good at taking care of people.
The Father in his family was useless after all. Xie Tingxing was almost raised by him personally, so there was no need to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation. He didn’t necessarily have to cook with his own hands, but he had quite a lot of experience in how to mix ingredients, how to order meat and vegetables, what kind of food he wanted to eat when he felt like it, and he had done things like changing his Younger Brother’s diapers and taking care of him when he was sick. He was not afraid of this kind of thing.
What does it matter if you don’t understand? Isn’t it obvious everywhere?
Xie Tingyue’s mother hen instinct came out and he focused all his attention on Chu Mu. He found that this man did not have high requirements and was really not particular about himself at all. He ate and drank when he should, and used whatever was given to him. He didn’t seem to have any preferences. When others didn’t notice, he rarely made requests, unless he was too thirsty, hungry, or uncomfortable.
And he himself was a very tolerant person, or in other words, he didn’t care about anything, including his own life and death, so… most of the time, he forgot about himself, and others didn’t know that he had needs.
However, the most taboo thing for patients was tolerance.
Every discomfort was a signal. Only by resolving it, could you move in the direction of health. If you didn’t care and didn’t take it seriously, you would not get better soon!
Xie Tingyue was very angry.
When he was angry, he couldn’t help but curse others.
Chu Mu, a pervert, actually enjoyed it! When he scolded, he laughed. The louder he scolded, the happier he laughed!
Xie Tingyue:……
Okay, you win.
Chu Mu was really happy and sincere. It was not like he hadn’t experienced meticulous care before, but the one from Xie Tingyue was especially heartwarming.
He actually became greedy and wanted more.
And when a person felt that he was being pampered, he couldn’t help but be unreasonable, make things difficult and act coquettishly. This was how the phrase “arrogance based on pampering” comes from.
Chu Mu started to do it.
“I don’t want to eat vegetarian food, I want to eat meat.”
“The dish was presented with radish flowers, making me instantly lose my appetite.”
“Where’s the tea? Why only warm water?”

Until Chu Mu said this, “I want to drink.”
Xie Tingyue narrowed his eyes, “You say…what do you want?”
Chu Mu smiled, “I want wine, Madam, will you drink with me?”
“I think you want Madam to give you a cup of poisonous wine,” Xie Tingyue said with a smile, “Envy the way Wu Dalang died, huh?”
Chu Mu lowered his eyes slightly, seeming aggrieved, “I just want to have a drink. The doctor said it will be beneficial to my condition.”
“No!” Xie Tingyue said fiercely, “Don’t think I don’t know? The doctor recommends that you drink in moderation, one cup every three to five days. He didn’t say you can drink every day!”
“Madam is like the rouge tiger in the storybook——”
Chu Mu looked at Xie Tingyue as if he were looking at some delicious food. He licked his lips and his eyes gradually darkened, “But I like it very much.”
Xie Tingyue:……
Here we go again.
Under this person’s elegant appearance, there was a hidden evil taste in him. He always liked to tease him. If he could make him blush and his heartbeat rush, he would be even happier.
Xie Tingyue could sympathize with the patient who did not have it easy and his physical condition was limited so he could not even go out. What else could he do? He was just addicted to teasing, and it was simple enough that made him happy. Chu Mu was a gentleman who couldn’t joke around with his servants casually, and he didn’t have any close friends. Finally, he had a like-minded person by his bedside and his pent-up enthusiasm he had been holding back for a long time could finally be vented. Xie Tingyue felt that if he stopped him again, he would be a bit of a bully.
Just treat it as an additional service, hospice care for the patient.
But Chu Mu was too foul!
He was too good looking, his eyelashes were too long, his Adam’s apple was too beautiful, even his fingers were more slender than his, the gentleman’s modest demeanor was so intimidating, he could tease people without even blinking. He portrays it as if his feelings are too deep and it’s like he has been deeply rooted in love for a long time, as if his blood was burning just for him!
Xie Tingyue covered the left side of his chest from time to time, reminding himself that this was just his own delusion.
Fortunately, the person he was facing was Chu Mu. If it had been any other girl, he would have been trapped in it!
**********
The situation in taking care of Chu Mu was gratifying. The two quickly adapted to each other’s habits and gradually developed a tacit understanding. They seemed to have been friends for a long time, and the atmosphere became more and more relaxed. Xie Tingyue didn’t care too much about family matters.
His anger got ignited and established his authority, but the timing and reasons were so good that it was difficult for others to criticize him.
Sure enough, everyone tacitly agreed not to mention this matter, and did not say a word about Xie Tingyue’s bad temper. It was as if they were collectively blind and deaf. They had no idea what happened that night. They only knew that Chu Mu was ill again, and it was very dangerous.
They knew, of course they had to care, and soon, gifts from everyone came flowing in like water, full of concern.
Xie Tingyue organized his momentum and walked towards the accounting room, and the handover of the accounts went smoothly. It took only a short time to complete. The servant bent low and handed the account book, not daring to make any further small moves.
Xie Tingyue snorted and held the account book.
This time, he has complete control over the family.
Huang Momo was beaten and had almost lost half of her life, but she didn’t die.
She didn’t die, of course she had to cry out for injustice, and of course she had to complain about her grievances. She tried every means to plan and had the Second Wife, Madam Sun to visit her.
Of course, if you sell misery, you have to let the other party see it with their own eyes, so that the effect would be strongest.
Madam Sun was really shocked.
After seeing the other party, she felt that she had underestimated Xie Tingyue. This male wife was not a fuel-efficient lamp!
However–
After all, he was still young, too impatient, and his methods were too blunt.
Did he think everything would be fine once he had the supervisor position in hand?
If she could give this out, she could get it back naturally. When it should happen, would depend on her mood.
Xie Tingyue ah, Xie Tingyue, you can get through this wave, but you have also greatly offended people. What are you going to do about the upcoming Plum Banquet?
**********
It was not difficult for Xie Tingyue to take charge of the household accounts.
During the days when his biological Mother and Aunt had died one after another, and his Stepmother had not entered into the house yet, he had learned a lot and handled many things with the help of Luo Momo. He didn’t need to put much effort for ordinary trivial matters at all.
The Plum Banquet… was the only thing that needed to be taken care of recently.
He hadn’t figured out a way yet.
After being beaten with a killing blow, the servants no longer dared to act recklessly and slack off, but they did not take the initiative to help him find a way and actively help him integrate into the family and deal with things. What to do about the Plum Banquet, how to deal with accidents, how many things need to be prepared in advance…On the surface, they were old routines, and there might be possible hidden crises, but he could only think of these hidden dangers himself.
Was there any way to ensure once and for all that the Plum Banquet would be a success and no one would cause trouble?
Xie Tingyue was busy with things and had a lot on his mind, and had to keep an eye on Chu Mu. He couldn’t sleep well and always dreamed.
Chu Mu in the dream… could be described as a diversified person.
Most of the time, the iceberg man was abnormal, and sometimes he would turn into a villain. Sometimes he would turn into a small person with head and body the same size. He would squat in the corner with his knees in his arms, always feeling pitiful. Looking up at him with his big eyes, extremely aggrieved, making people unable to help but want to hug and comfort him.
Xie Tingyue really didn’t want this. Every time before falling asleep, he would say to himself many times, “Don’t dream about Chu Mu, don’t dream about Chu Mu”. On this day, he finally got his wish!
He woke up laughing directly from his dream.
He dreamed of a person, a person he had saved in his previous life.
Qu Qi, the owner of Jishi Hall, was a prominent business figure and came from a noble family of officials. He once served as an official in the court and once reached the fifth rank. His wife was also from a prestigious family. He suddenly changed his career to business. This was not because he was self-indulgent, but because he was unlucky. He became lame in an accident and had scars on his face, which was described as damaging and he could no longer serve as an official.
Qu Qi also had an obvious scholarly character when he switched to business. He only engaged in the business of medicinal materials and other businesses derived from medicinal materials, such as medicinal diet, health care, and medical clinics. Due to its excellent quality and service, many of the nobility liked it, which allowed for the expansion of his connections and good relationships with the Princess Mansion, Marquis Mansion, and others.
Qu Qi had a very upright appearance, unique vision, extraordinary taste, and different status and connections. Everyone in the business world was friendly to him and was willing to make friends. They were proud to invite him to official banquets, however, but most of the time, Qu Qi was very low-key and didn’t like to move around.
Xie Tingyue only met him once, when he saved Qu Qi during the last period of his previous life.
Of course, what happened in his previous life had not happened now, and he was not known by the other party, and it was impossible for him to ask for repayment, but he still knew some things, and it seemed that he could… put it to use?
If he could invite Qu Qi and Madam Qu to the Plum Banquet, wouldn’t things be easier to handle?
Just do as you think, so Xie Tingyue acted immediately.
First of all – to inquire about Qu Qi’s recent whereabouts.
He only had fabrics in his hand, could he make some plans along the way?
Chu Mu extended into Man Flu territory 😍
