Ruan Zhi glanced back at him, "Hmm." ”

Although she had tried her best to keep herself calm, she still couldn't avoid the nervousness.

Xu Huaishen turned sideways to face her, his hands on her shoulders, his eyes fixed on her eyes, "Take two deep breaths." ”

Ruan Zhi complied.

He took two deep breaths.

Xu Huaishen said again: "From now on, you don't need to do anything, just keep smiling, don't say anything, everything has me." ”

Just leave everything to him, and she just shows her face.

"Hmm. Ruan Zhi nodded, and the tension in his heart eased slightly.

"Is it better?" Xu Huaishen asked her.

"Hmm. Ruan Zhi tugged at the corners of his mouth, revealing a polite and reserved smile.

Xu Huaishen held her hand again, "Let's go." ”

The two were about to enter the house, but there was a flash of car lights at the door of the yard behind them.

A car slowly drove in.

Ruan Zhi subconsciously turned his head, his eyes just swept over the car, and then he froze.

Is that...... The Nguyen family's car!

Getting out of the car were Wan Fangfang and Ruan Jiani.

What Ruan Zhi never expected was that Ruan Ximing, who was unable to move, also came.

He came in a wheelchair, and his posture was very eye-catching.

How did they come?

Ruan Zhi's first reaction was to see Xu Huaishen.

But what she received was a look of doubt similar to her own.

Obviously, Xu Huaishen didn't know that the Ruan family would also come.

So, this is Mrs. Xu's arrangement, and is it the arrangement that the entire Xu family acquiesces to?

"Ruan Zhi. Wan Fangfang and Ruan Jiani came over in wheelchairs, both dressed up and their clothes brand new.

Ruan Zhi didn't turn a corner, and asked directly, "Why did you come?"

"Huh?" Wan Fangfang looked at her with a cautious expression, as if she was afraid of saying the wrong thing, "It was Mrs. Xu who called and said that she was inviting our family to dinner tonight." ”

Sure enough, it was Mrs. Xu's arrangement.

Ruan Zhi's eyes dimmed a little, and the momentum that had just started dissipated most of them in an instant.

Xu Huaishen stood beside her and said lightly: "Go in first." ”

"Hmm. Ruan Zhi nodded, ignored the three people of the Ruan family, and followed Xu Huaishen into the house.

And here, Wan Fangfang and Ruan Jiani exchanged a look with each other, and also pushed Ruan Ximing to follow.

The living room of the Xu family is large, and it takes a long, long corridor to get there.

Before I could enter the door, I heard laughter coming from inside.

When I walked to the door, the sound of conversation and laughter inside became clearer and clearer.

Probably a few famous ladies who are very good with Mrs. Xu are chatting about the sky.

The topic is just related to Xu Huaishen.

I only heard one of the voices asking: "Then when will your family Huaishen get married?" I see that in the past few days, his marriage with Miss Bai is about to be on the hot search. ”

Another voice was also interested, "Yes, speaking of which, Huaishen is two years older than our Xiao Qin, and the two treasures of our Xiao Qin are about to be born." If Huaishen doesn't get married again, the doll relatives of our two families won't be able to get married. ”

The rest of the voices were laughing and echoing, and the scene was very lively and warm.

Finally, I heard Mrs. Xu say with a smile: "Come on, we don't care about the children's affairs." knew that in a few days, the two of them were spending the night together. Vivi has been living in our house for the past few days, and I have to take care of her belly, and if there is any movement, I have to urge her to marry immediately. ”

Speaking of this topic, the rest of the ladies talked about it even more.

Immediately asked about the rest.

Mrs. Xu answered them one by one.

Xu Huaishen had already led Ruan Zhi into the living room, and behind them, there was a family of three in the Ruan family.

The three members of the Ruan family also heard those words just now.

Wan Fangfang and Ruan Jiani glanced at each other, and they both saw puzzlement in each other's eyes.

What's going on?

I thought that the Xu family specially invited their family to a banquet today, just to discuss the marriage of Xu Huaishen and Ruan Zhi.

But Mrs. Xu said that Bai Wei and Xu Huaishen spent the night together, and also mentioned Bai Wei's belly......

That meaning can't be revealed anymore.

The three members of the Ruan family took a step behind and stopped at the door without entering.

"Mom. Xu Huaishen walked over with Ruan Zhi in his hand and shouted in a calm voice, which immediately attracted the sideways glances of several noble ladies on the sofa.

Several people saw Xu Huaishen at the same time, as well as the weak and slender girl beside him, with different expressions.

Mrs. Xu's smile narrowed slightly, and then she said to a few people: "This is a little girl who is a deep friend of our family and has always been treated as a sister. ”

My sister?

No wonder I saw Xu Huaishen holding someone's hand.

can be regarded as a sister, then she is not a sister after all.

Even if she is her own sister, she should avoid suspicion when she is so old, instead of holding hands openly like this.

The few ladies present were not stupid, and obviously knew that Mrs. Xu was lying.

But they don't say it clearly, they only cooperate, and they only take lies as truth.

Xu Huaishen frowned and spoke: "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? What sister?"

Mrs. Xu's face froze, probably knowing what he wanted to say, so she swept over with a busy look, and the warning was obvious.

But Xu Huaishen didn't seem to see her eyes, the corners of his mouth hooked a shallow smile, and said to the few people on the sofa: "Introduce to a few aunts, this is my fiancée, Ms. Ruan Zhi." ”

When the few people on the sofa heard this, they all looked at Mrs. Xu who was sitting there.

was exposed by his son in public, and he was so open, Mrs. Xu's face was lost.

Mrs. Xu was also stunned, obviously not expecting that Xu Huaishen would directly introduce Ruan Zhi as a "fiancée".

She deliberately called these noble ladies today, Huai Shen has been sensible since he was a child, and in front of so many people, he will definitely not come nonsense.

But everything exceeded Mrs. Xu's expectations.

Xu Huaishen didn't seem to care about the Xu family and her face at all, his eyes were full of heart, and there was only Ruan Zhi.

Mrs. Xu couldn't hold her face, sneered, and said, "Huaishen, it's best not to let your father and your grandfather hear this, otherwise they should be angry." Your dad is nothing, your grandfather has always been in poor health, so you'd better not be angry with him. ”

Xu Huaishen was still holding Ruan Zhi's hand, his eyes were firm, "I brought Ruan Zhi back today, just to see grandpa." ”

As he spoke, he said, "Then let's talk first, and I'll take Ruan Zhi to find grandpa." ”

Then, bowing slightly to the side of the sofa, politely and gentlemanly turned around and left.

Mrs. Xu looked at the figures of the two walking away, gritting her teeth, but there was no way.

On the second floor, Ruan Zhi pulled Xu Huaishen's hand, and he stopped.

Ruan Zhi said, "You're so angry with your mother, are you okay?"

Xu Huaishen smiled, his expression was full of indifference, "She is so embarrassed for you, and I am also angry." ”

Ruan Zhi: "...... You know all about it?"

Xu Huaishen leaned over and hugged her gently, "Fool, how much can you resist alone?"

Hearing this, Ruan Zhi's nose was sour.

Over there, a servant came over, bowed slightly to Xu Huaishen, and said respectfully: "Young master, the old man is waiting for you in the study." ”

Xu Lao is the highest elder of the Xu family today, and he is also the most prestigious.

But the older a person gets, the more rigid he seems to be, and the easier it is for his mind to stick to it, and it is not easy to open up.

When Ruan Zhi saw Xu Huaishen's grandfather for the first time, he felt that there was only one: this old man was not easy to get along with.

His study is large, but meticulous.

When Xu Huaishen led Ruan Zhi in, the old man was holding a brush, slightly hooking his waist, leaning down in front of the wide Nanmu table to draw.

The painting is a sub-ink drawing, which has begun to take shape, and it can be seen that it is a sub-landscape drawing.

"Grandpa. Xu Huaishen stood still in front of the table and shouted respectfully.

"Hmm. The old man only answered, did not look up, did not stop the pen in his hand, still delicately depicting the feathers of the magpie on the branch, and did not seem to be affected at all.

Xu Huaishen said: "I brought my fiancée to see you. ”

"......" This time, Xu Lao didn't respond again, and still didn't look up.

Ruan Zhi stood there, feeling that he was a big living person, completely ignored into a cloud of air.

Xu Huaishen bowed his head and said to her, "Call grandpa." ”

Ruan Zhi obeyed and shouted, "Grandpa." ”

After almost ten seconds, the old man slowly raised his head and looked at Ruan Zhi.

That gaze was scrutinizing, and for a moment Ruan Zhi was fixed there, and suddenly there was a sense of entanglement that all his shortcomings had been exposed.

In the past, Ruan Zhi accepted too many doubts.

Even the sharpest words she had experienced.

Even some unwarranted things can splash her with dirty water.

But there is no kind of look like Grandpa Xu, which makes Ruan Zhi like a man.

Before she knew it, a fine layer of cold sweat had oozed from her back.

Looking at each other like this, she felt like Mount Tai was overpowered, and she was almost out of breath.

It seemed like it lasted for centuries, and it seemed like it lasted only a few seconds.

Soon, Xu Huaishen's side of the body pulled her behind her, blocking the sharp scrutinizing gaze.

Ruan Zhi stood behind Xu Huaishen and felt a sweat.

She heard Xu Huaishen say, "Grandpa, this is Ruan Zhi, my fiancée." ”

"Fiancée?" Xu Lao put down the brush in his hand, and his faint eyes swept over Xu Huaishen, even if Ruan Zhi couldn't see his expression at the moment, he could hear extreme displeasure from his tone, "Xiao Shen, marrying a wife is a lifelong event, and it is related to the happiness of the rest of your life." In our Xu family, there has never been a precedent for divorce. ”

Xu Huaishen said: "I will marry Ruan Zhi, I will not regret it, let alone divorce." ”

Xu Lao said again: "Our Xu family has never had a precedent of not having the right door. An incompatible marriage is destined to end in unhappiness. Xiao Shen, if you still call me grandpa, listen to me. ”

Xu Huaishen was silent for a while, and said, "If the family doesn't agree, then I will ask my grandfather to remove me from the family tree." ”

"......" Ruan Zhi's eyelashes trembled.

She subconsciously looked up, but because she was standing behind him, all she saw was his straight back and black hair.

One of his hands was still tightly gripping hers, fingers interlocked with hers.

Ruan Zhi looked at the hands of the two of them clasped together, and a trace of sourness appeared in his heart.

She had never been more disgusted with her origins than she was now.

I have never been so eager to have a good background.

In this way, she can be worthy of Xu Huaishen, and she can stand with him and accept the scrutiny and acceptance of the Xu family.

Rather than questioning and obstructing.

All this is just because her background is not noble enough.

"Nonsense!"

With a bang, Xu Lao slapped his palm on the table and roared angrily, "It's just nonsense." For the sake of a woman, do you want to cut off relations with your parents and relatives? Do you want to change your name and surname? Xiao Shen, you have never been such an irrational person!"

Ruan Zhi tugged at his hand, and Xu Huaishen didn't look back.

He still stood so firmly, looking at Old Xu's angry eyes, "For the sake of your great-grandson, I just didn't think about it, what is it?"

"What...... What?" Xu Lao was stunned and subconsciously looked at Ruan Zhi.

But because her whole person is now blocked by Xu Huaishen, Xu Lao can only see her exposed feet, and the rest can't be seen.

But Xu Lao was still shocked, and his gaze returned to Xu Huaishen's face, "Xiao Shen, what are you talking about?"

Xu Huaishen said: "Ruan Zhi is already my person, and now she has your great-grandson in her belly." ”

Hearing this, Ruan Zhi was taken aback.

Her fingers subconsciously lifted and rested on her little belly.

Where is the little great-grandson?

That was just an excuse Xu Huaishen used to prevaricate, a reason for the Xu family to accept her.

Old Xu frowned, "Xiao Shen, are you kidding?"

No matter how big the Xu family is, and no matter how high the literati are, they still attach great importance to the aspect of their heirs.

If Ruan Zhi really had Xu Huaishen's child in his belly, then he would really think about it.

Xu Huaishen's voice was still flat, "Grandpa, you know me best, I never joke." ”

Xu Lao: "......"

Yes, Xu Huaishen has always been serious and doesn't joke.

How much more is this kind of thing?

"What about Bai Wei's belly?" Xu Lao didn't care about Ruan Zhi's presence, and asked directly.

When Ruan Zhi heard this, his fingers trembled, and he clenched subconsciously.

Xu Huaishen noticed the change in her mood, lowered his eyes slightly, but didn't hide it, "She drugged me." ”

After a pause, he added, "I don't know, whether I touched her or not." ”

"Xiao Shen, you must have a conscience, we and the Bai family are world friends. And Bai Wei's grandfather is still your mentor. Xu Lao said, "If Bai Wei really has your child, what should you do?"

This time, it was Xu Huaishen's turn to be silent.

He was never an irresponsible person.

But he didn't want to take such a responsibility.

"Bai Wei's side, I'll take care of it. But there is one thing, I just want Ruan Zhi. Child, I also only need Ruan Zhi's belly. Xu Huaishen finally left this sentence, and left Xu Lao's study with Ruan Zhi.

Xu Lao sat down and sighed heavily.

Things seem to have gotten harder.

Xujia Garden.

Xu Huaishen finally stopped, pressed Ruan Zhi against the wall, and called out to her with a slight breath, "Childish." ”

Ruan Zhi raised his eyes to look at him.

His eyes were so black that they seemed to blend in with the night behind him.

Like a bottomless abyss, it is like a black hole that attracts people's hearts.

Ruan Zhi only looked at him and didn't speak.

Wait for him to say.

Xu Huaishen held her hand, let the palm of her hand gently stick to his heart, "Childish, if I really touch Bai Wei, do you care?"

In that situation, it was difficult for him to control himself.

After being drugged, he became less like him.

He actually remembered that Bai Wei and he had been lying on the same bed.

And she didn't wear anything.

But Xu Huaishen didn't know anything about the process.

He only woke up from the excessive burning and found that there were many marks left on his body, as well as some marks on Bai Wei's body.

Xu Huaishen wasn't sure what he had done under the control of the drug.

But even then, it was designed by Bai Wei and Mrs. Xu.

One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.

Xu Huaishen did not feel guilty about Bai Wei.

On the contrary, there is only abhorrence.

The only thing he cared about was what Ruan Zhi thought.

Ruan Zhi's eyes flickered, his teeth bit his lip lightly, and said, "I...... I don't care. ”

Xu Huaishen was a little surprised, but the look in his eyes quickly sank again, and he held her hand harder, as if he wanted to prove something, and asked again: "Really?"

"Hmm. Ruan Zhi's throat was dry.

Because she's lying.

But she had to lie.

Because she knew that if she said she cared, Xu Huaishen would be very painful.

Rather than two people suffering, let her bear the pain alone.

Getting Ruan Zhi's answer, Xu Huaishen breathed a sigh of relief, and the strength in his hand decreased slightly, "Zhizhi, I'll take care of it, give me time." ”

Ruan Zhi nodded and hugged him.

After hugging him for less than two seconds, he pulled him out of his arms again, pressed against the wall and kissed him......

The front hall of the Xu family.

The dinner had been set, and the three members of the Ruan family were brought over by the maid and sat down.

Xu Huaishen's father was still on a business trip, and the old man didn't come down, so he ate alone in the study.

In this way, in addition to the Ruan family's family of three, Ruan Zhi and Xu Huaishen, there were also Mrs. Xu and Bai Wei at this dinner.

Just these few people sat at the same table.

Ruan Zhi originally sat with Xu Huaishen, but after Mrs. Xu brought Bai Wei over, she arranged for Bai Wei to sit on the other side of Xu Huaishen.

Mrs. Xu said a few polite words to Wan Fangfang, and then officially started eating.

The Ruan family of three, Ruan Ximing had difficulty moving and was silent in a wheelchair.

Ruan Jiani's eyes turned back and forth on the faces of Bai Wei and Ruan Zhi and Xu Huaishen from time to time, but she didn't say anything and remained silent.

Only Wan Fangfang and Mrs. Xu asked and answered from time to time.

In addition, Mrs. Xu's care for Bai Wei remains.

First, he asked the maid to bring a cup of tonic soup, and specially instructed him to put it in front of Bai Wei, saying, "Weiwei, you have to make up more during this time, and it will be too late to make up for it when there is movement in your stomach." This is the soup I asked you to stew, drink it quickly, huh?"

Bai Wei smiled shyly, "Thank you, aunt." ”

The two people are like a particularly harmonious mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

And over there, Xu Huaishen seemed to be completely out of the same world as them, ignoring them at all, and had been taking care of Ruan Zhi.

When Mrs. Xu saw this, she said to Xu Huaishen: "Huaishen, you can also take care of Weiwei." After all, Weiwei has hope for your future in her belly. ”
