399: Good Friend
After dinner, Xiao Xubai asked her where she wanted to go.
Qingqing swung her short legs and thought for a while before saying in her childish voice that she wanted to go find her brother.
I want to play with my older brother...
Xiao Xubai remembered that when he woke up in the morning, he saw Fu Yueci and the others going out to pay New Year's visits.
However, he still took Qingqing and went for a walk around the Fu family home.
Grandpa Fu was talking with guests in the banquet hall, and Fu Huating sat below him to keep him company.
Xiao Xubai didn't go in. As he turned around with Qingqing in his arms, he bumped into the butler.
They learned from the housekeeper that Fu Sihuai had taken Fu Fengzhao and Fu Yueci out early this morning, while Fu Xueji was playing chess with her friends in the backyard.
Originally, I wanted to bring Fu Huating, but the old man insisted on keeping him with him, so I replaced him with Xiaoyue instead.
And so, Xiao Xubai took Qingqing for a walk around and then went back.
At the same time, Fu Yueci arrived at the Lan family's door.
After going inside, he followed Fu Fengzhao and called out to each person in turn, then sat properly to the side and listened to their conversation.
Suddenly he heard a familiar voice, looked up and saw the person sitting opposite him chatting with the old man of the Lan family.
Fu Yueci's heart stirred, and she became quite excited.
Isn't this Uncle Wen? Could it be that little Wen You has come too?
Qingqing would be very happy if he could bring Xiao Wenyou home.
However, she wasn't in the room, so Fu Yueci poked Fu Sihuai's arm to check if she had come.
The other person turned their head and looked at him calmly: "Going to the bathroom again?"
He has visited four families since this morning and has gone to the toilet four times.
If Fu Sihuai hadn't watched him grow up, he would have seriously suspected that Fu Sihuai might have ADHD.
He used to be quite normal, but now, whether he's just letting his true nature run wild or something, he's become increasingly unrestrained.
"No, this time there's really something wrong."
Fu Yueci leaned closer and said seriously in his ear, "Dad, ask Uncle Wen if Wen You came along. We'll bring her home for dinner, and Qingqing will be very happy."
Fu Sihuai understood and looked away. Currently, Old Master Lan and Wen Tinglan were having a pleasant conversation, and he hadn't yet found an opportunity.
When they finished their conversation and lowered their heads to drink water, he asked the question.
Wen Tinglan smiled and said that Wen You was playing with the Lan family's little girl in the courtyard.
The Wen family and the Lan family have a very good relationship. When Old Master Wen was still in Beijing, he and Old Master Lan were as close as brothers. Otherwise, he wouldn't have flown over from City A to visit on the second day of the Lunar New Year.
Having received the answer, Fu Yueci found an opportunity to go out.
The Lan family's courtyard was very large, and it was inconvenient for him to find it himself, so he asked a servant. With the servant's guidance, he saw Xiao Wenyou in the distance.
She had two other little girls with her.
Like Qingqing, Wenyou is a very popular child, and he has people playing with him wherever he goes.
Because Xiao Wenyou is more mature and knowledgeable than other children her age, she has always played the role of the eldest sister in her small circle.
Fu Yueci stopped, thanked the servants of the Lan family, and secretly took out her phone to take a picture.
Since Qingqing didn't have a cell phone, he sent it to Xiao Qingdai.
Thinking of how happy the little girl would be when she saw the photos, Fu Yueci couldn't help but smile.
The three little girls over there saw him as they ran over.
Xiao Wenyou was slightly taken aback, but quickly recognized him. His big eyes sparkled as he walked over.
"Brother Fu, what are you doing here? Has Qingqing arrived?"
Fu Yueci shook her head.
If he had known earlier that he would run into Wen You during his visit today, he would have insisted on going to the Xiao family home this morning to wake Qingqing up and bring her along.
Wen You was somewhat disappointed to learn that Qingqing hadn't come.
Since she went back to her grandfather's home in City A during the holidays, they haven't seen each other for a long time.
Hearing this, two children from the Lan family asked her curiously, "Sister Wenyou, who is Qingqing?"
Xiao Wenyou slightly raised his chin and smiled: "She is my best friend."
Qingqing is such a perfect person, so when she introduces their relationship to others, she should be full of pride.
Hearing this, the two children next to her tugged at her arm sadly and asked with pleading eyes, "Aren't we your best friends?"
Wen You didn't lie to her; he spoke very sincerely.
"No, but you are my good friends."
"OK then."
Although they were still a little unhappy, they forgot about it in no time.
Fu Yueci watched from the side, unable to suppress a smile, feeling very gratified.
Good, good, that's great! No wonder he's shipping this CP!
He regretted not recording the conversation; Qingqing would have been even happier if she had seen it.
However, Fu Yueci was not idle either. He started asking about Wen You's schedule, wanting to invite her to have lunch at the Xiao family's house.
On the other side, the Xiao family.
Knowing that Xiao Qingdai was not in good health, the guests left relatively early.
By 10:30, most of the guests had left.
When Xiao Qingdai had some free time, she went to find Qingqing. The little girl was watching TV in her bedroom. She walked over, sat down next to her, and waved the photos on her phone in front of her.
"Baby, look who this is."
The little girl's attention was drawn to the phone, and she followed it.
"what?"
Qingqing felt that Xiao Qingdai looked familiar. In order to see her clearly, she grabbed Xiao Qingdai's hand, looked down carefully for two seconds, and then her eyes began to light up.
"It's Sister Wenyou!"
She looked up, her clear eyes sparkling, her little voice full of joy: "Mommy, this is Sister Wenyou, how did you get her picture!"
Xiao Qingdai raised her lips slightly: "She came to the capital today, and your brother ran into her."
Qingqing blinked and waited for her to finish speaking, then eagerly slid off the sofa.
"I want to go find her."
Xiao Qingdai reached out and pulled her into her arms. Her delicate eyebrows were curved, and her whole face looked like it had come to life from a painting.
"Your brother said he'll bring her back for lunch."
Qingqing nestled in her arms, obediently letting her hold her like a doll.
“Then we’re going to make lots of delicious food,” she said, tilting her head back.
Xiao Qingdai naturally agreed. In fact, before coming to find Qingqing, she had already asked Shuangjiang to inform the people in the kitchen.
When Qingqing's friends come to the Xiao family, they receive the highest level of treatment.
Even if she doesn't tell anyone, the kitchen staff will find out and add a few dishes that the children like.
Around 11 o'clock, the three members of the Fu family who had gone out to pay New Year's visits returned, bringing Xiao Wenyou with them.
She was alone; Wen Tinglan had been forced by Old Master Lan to stay at the Lan family home for dinner and couldn't come with her.
If Fu Sihuai hadn't spent so much time talking to Grandpa Lan, they probably wouldn't have been able to invite Xiao Wenyou.
Wen You visited the Xiao family many times, and the Xiao family's butler was always happy to see her, because it would make his young lady happy.
So he enthusiastically led the way for Wen You: "Miss Wen, you've arrived! I'll take you to find my young lady to play with."
