Was this a way of throwing a tantrum indirectly?

Qingzhi moved inside and skipped that topic.

This man was also discreet and stopped discussing “she had completely forgotten him” without further elaboration.

The car drove quickly, and the fact that Qingzhi returned to the mansion happened earlier than expected. The security guard at the entrance hurriedly reported to Grandma Zhou that the car had already entered the mansion of the Lus.

In the garden, two maids were weeding.

“I heard that Grandma Zhou went to pick up Ms. Lu. She should return in about an hour, so let’s work faster!”

“Did you hear that several security guards were fired? It seems they didn’t inform Grandma Zhou last time and released Ms. Lu’s car without permission!”

“You shouldn’t mention that. The last person you want to offend in this mansion is not Ms. Lu but Grandma Zhou. Grandma Zhou raised Ms. Lu, and she’s always followed Grandma Zhou’s orders.”

“It’s more than just that. Look at the mansion’s people who handle finances, personnel, and medical affairs. Most of them are Grandma Zhou’s trusted individuals. Even when the master of the Lus summoned Qian Xiao into the mansion before his death and explicitly prohibited his dismissal in his will, Qian Xiao still held the position of an assistant. He can’t compare to Grandma Zhou’s status!”

“It seems like Grandma Zhou is acting like the master now, practically the lord of the mansion. Ms. Lu doesn’t matter much, but we must follow Grandma Zhou’s orders!”

Qian Xiao coughed lightly.

The two maids turned around in a panic when they saw Qian Xiao and Lu Qingzhi. Their faces turned pale, and they held the weeds in their hands, standing to the side with their heads down, too afraid to speak.

Qian Xiao sneakily glanced at Qingzhi. He felt panicked for the two maids.

There have been people who used to gossip behind Grandma Zhou’s back and secretly reported things to Ms. Lu.

In the end, they were all taught a lesson and fired.

For Ms. Lu, Grandma Zhou was the only family she had, the person she trusted the most.

“Miss …” Before Qian Xiao could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Qingzhi.

“I don’t want to hear these words again in the future, understand?” Qingzhi’s gaze swept over them, and she saw them nodding. Her expression softened, and she smiled, “Alright, go back to work!”

Did it just end with such a casual remark?

Not only were the two maids surprised, but even Qian Xiao was also surprised. Ms. Lu was becoming kinder and kinder.

Qingzhi tried to make herself smile more innocently. As soon as she turned her head, she saw Ji Huo looking at her with a smile in the corner of his eye. She suddenly felt that she might have acted too foolishly, making Ji Huo think she was foolish, which was why he seemed so pleased.

Grandma Zhou had already prepared a large table of food in the mansion for Lu Qingzhi. Seeing the love in Lu Qingzhi’s eyes, she said, “Miss, come over here and eat. Today, I made your favorite pork trotter soup!”

The soup was served in one bowl, without a portion for Ji Huo.

“Qian Xiao, get a bowl for Mr. Ji, too!”

“Miss, this was made by me, and you’ve never shared what I’ve cooked with outsiders or servants before!” Grandma Zhou’s expression changed slightly, and her sharp gaze swept over Ji Huo.

“He’s not an outsider or a servant. He’s my fiancé and the future master of the Lus. Besides, Grandma Zhou, I’ve had a reduced appetite lately and can’t finish this whole pot. Let him help me eat some!” Qingzhi gently coaxed, her voice soft.

Grandma Zhou’s face turned cold, but she couldn’t confront Qingzhi directly. She just stared coldly at Ji Huo.

Qian Xiao was affected by the tense atmosphere and remained silent as he served the soup on the table. However, Mr. Ji wasn’t affected at all. Instead, he picked up Qingzhi’s soup and tasted it lightly.

Lu Qingzhi was stunned.

His first reaction was that he was eating from the same bowl as her.
