Old Master Gu didn't know what Fang Hua was up to, but it was clear that he didn't like Fang Hua's presumptuous behavior.
However, now that his brothers had arrived, he couldn't chase them away, so he went to the dining room with them.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Fang Hua wanted to take the opportunity to watch Guan Meiyi make a fool of herself, but she found that all the cutlery were meticulously placed. There was no problem with the position and angle of the cutlery arrangment.
Moreover, she didn't know if it was her imagination, but she felt that the cutlery were even brighter than usual.
Seeing that someone had e, Guan Meiyi took off the white gloves on her hands. "Sister-in-law, according to your instructions, I've already finished setting up the cutlery. There were some fingerprints on the ones you set up earlier, but I've already wiped them away."
Fang Hua's face tensed up, and only then did she see the white gloves on Guan Meiyi's hands. She had only eaten French food in her life. She had never laid out cutlery before. She was just putting on an act today, so she didn't know that she had to wear white gloves.
Upon hearing Guan Meiyi's words, Fang Hua's expression turned ugly. She had wanted to take the opportunity to mock her, but she didn't expect to shoot herself in the foot instead.
"Did you set up all these?" Zhao Huimin asked.
"Yes," Guan Meiyi answered with a smile.
"Why did you set them up? There are so many servants in the house!" Although Zhao Huimin still didn't like Guan Meiyi, Guan Meiyi had once dissed Fang Hua for her, and she was already Gu Zhiqian's wife, her daughter-in-law. Therefore, even if she didn't like her, it was still their own family's affairs. Between Guan Meiyi and Fang Hua, naturally Zhao Huimin was on Guan Meiyi's side.
Seeing that his mother had finally spoken up for Guan Meiyi, Gu Zhiqian's eyes softened a little.
"My sister-in-law sent Butler Xu to find me. She said that there were only me and her in the house, so she asked me to prepare for the meal with her," Guan Meiyi answered honestly without any plaints in her tone.
"You did it just because she asked you to?" Zhao Huimin's tone was a little displeased. "Didn't she say that the two of you would do it together? Why are you doing it alone? Are you a fool?"
Guan Meiyi knew that Zhao Huimin was defending her, but when she heard her words, she didn't know how to react.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Fang Hua. Old Master Gu also felt that Fang Hua was being a little petty to actually put on such a stunt of asking Guan Meiyi to set the cutlery. She just wanted to boss her around and intimidate her. Also, if she couldn't set it properly, she could use this as an excuse to humiliate her. In the end, it backfired. Not only did Guan Meiyi set the cutlery flawlessly, but she also gave Fang Hua a taste of her own medicine.
Fang Hua looked a little embarrassed as she said, "I was going to set it with her, but then I had some things to do..."
Gu Zhilin's expression was extremely ugly. Why was Fang Hua always targeting Guan Meiyi? Wasn't it just because of Gu Zhiqian? This woman was really getting more and more brazen now. She didn't take her husband seriously at all.
Now that all the Elders were here, it wasn't appropriate to cause a scene before the meal had even started. Old Master Gu glared at Fang Hua with a dark expression, then smiled and said to his brothers and their families, "Don't all stand there. e in and eat."
Gu Zhiqian held Guan Meiyi's hand and sat down beside her with a cold expression. Fang Hua's eyes had been staring at their tightly clenched hands, and her expression was shocked.
"What? Sister-in-law wants to let Guan Meiyi, who has just married into the family, to set the rules and serve the whole family like during ancient times?" Gu Zhiqian asked coldly.
Fang Hua's face froze, and the corners of her lips twitched. She was unable to respond.
In the end, it was Old Master Gu who spoke up directly, "That's enough, let's eat!"
