Chapter 6
"Hello, you must be Mr. Hei?"
Yi Qingju's voice was soft and gentle. She elegantly sat down across from Hei Meilu.
Swallowing his saliva secretly, Hei Meilu was attracted by her beauty and completely forgot about the humiliation he had received from the text message earlier.
He stood up and revealed what he believed to be a refined smile. He stretched out his hand towards Yi Qingju, "Miss Yi, pleased to meet you."
Instead of calling her Mrs. Qi, he addressed her as Miss Yi, treating her like an unmarried young lady.
Even through the human skin, Yi Qingju could smell his ulterior motives.
Without taking his hand, Yi Qingju just smiled politely and sat back down.
The arrogance of a wealthy household was restrained tightly.
Qi Xinian, who had been called down by Auntie Zhang, saw this scene as soon as he came downstairs.
Hei Meilu was not embarrassed. He naturally retracted his hand and sat back down, while praising that the red tea tasted great.
A man chosen by Qi Xinian as the sole family tutor must be no ordinary person.
Having graduated from a top university at a young age of twenties with a doctorate degree, his doctoral thesis was even selected by the Academy of Sciences as an outstanding doctoral dissertation.
He had won numerous awards for his patents.
With such a background, his handsome appearance was even rarer.
He had a gentle scholarly look that would easily make women lower their guard.
He was good looking, no doubt, but not Yi Qingju's type as a big sai mi.
His petite figure looked weak. He probably looked like a child when his pants were off.
Yi Qingju waved at Qi Xinian to the side and introduced, "This is the family tutor recommended by your young uncle. He will come to teach you every day from now on."
Hearing her say "our home", the little dumpling looked up at her with complicated eyes, then spoke seriously to Hei Meilu, "Hello, I am Qi Xinian."
Since it was a tutor introduced by young uncle, he must perform well.
Hei Meilu complimented Qi Xinian, then introduced himself, "Young master, I am your family tutor from now on. My name is Hei Meilu."
From now on I am your stepfather, brat.
Just as Hei Meilu was about to say something more, Yi Qingju suddenly stood up.
"Qi Xinian, take Mr. Hei upstairs to get familiar with the teaching environment."
Qi Xinian nodded, unusually obedient.
Although the little dumpling was young, he understood propriety very well.
No matter how much conflict he had with Yi Qingju, he would not make a joke out of it in front of an outsider.
"It's the theme song of Schindler's List, right? No matter how much you try to hide your true self usually, I can still hear the loneliness in your playing! Stop trying to bury yourself, Yi--"
He didn't get to finish the last two words.
The person who had had their back facing him slowly turned around.
Revealing that kind, surprised and shy old face.
This person turned out to be the omnipotent housekeeper of the Qi family manor—
Auntie Zhang.
Upon hearing Hei Meilu's words, Auntie Zhang's eyes suddenly moistened. She unconsciously took a step forward, seemingly unable to believe as she said, "Mr. Hei...you actually understood the meaning behind my violin playing?"
"You--"
"Excuse me for disturbing!"
Hei Meilu quickly closed the door. His arm even felt numb for a moment due to his fast movement.
"..."
Humiliation. This was a humiliation he hadn't experienced in his two lifetimes combined!
Wealthy household, violin, gloomy afternoon, and the room at the very end of the corridor.
With these elements combined, the woman behind it turned out not to be Yi Qingju!?
"Achoo--"
"Someone's thinking about me?"
Squatting in the pigpen and observing the castrated piglets, Yi Qingju rubbed her nose.
The little chirping voice suddenly said, "Host, I think I heard the sound of a violin."
Yi Qingju stopped what she was doing and listened quietly for a while, then pulled up the corners of her lips, "Sounds very nice, doesn't it."
"It's Auntie Zhang's playing. Don't underestimate her. Although she's like this now, when she was young she graduated from the music academy. She's highly skilled in various musical instruments. Even that picky Qi Weiran has praised her before."
The little chirping voice exclaimed in surprise, "So amazing! Why doesn't host learn? Little chirp wants to hear you play the violin."
Yi Qingju stroked the little pig's head, "Forget it. Compared to playing the violin I'm more skilled at sh*tting."
Little chirp: "......Please be more elegant."
It immediately changed the subject, "Has host decided how to deal with that Hei Meilu?"
Standing up and brushing the dust off her body, Yi Qingju's eyes glinted cunningly, "Isn't it just getting someone else to do the dirty work?"
"Today is Qi Xinian's first official day of living in the Qi household. Qi Weiran will definitely come back tonight to symbolically have dinner together. And Hei Meilu--"
Before she could finish speaking, a voice came from behind.
"Miss Yi, finally found you."
