Soon it was the weekend, and Zhou Xiaoxi and Mrs. Zhou went to the Zhao family's old house together.

Mrs. Zhou instructed her granddaughter on the way: "Don't be reckless when you go, everything has me, this time I don't want you to ask the Zhao family to question, just let you go to see and understand, Mrs. Zhao doesn't like scorching women." ”

Zhou Xiaoxi knew that her grandmother was for her good, so she smiled meekly: "Well, I know." ”

The car stopped in front of a high gate in the traditional architectural style, Zhou Xiaoxi carefully looked at the two old stone lions at the door, and knew that this stone lion was only afraid of a few years, and then looked at the five bluestone steps, as well as the bright gate, he couldn't help but take a deep breath for a while, and the nerves of the whole person were tensed.

She glanced at her grandmother, reached out to hold her arm, and the two of them took two steps forward together to meet the Zhao family's housekeeper.

As the butler entered the gate, after walking for a while, he saw an old lady with a grim face and a majestic face waiting under a tree in front of her.

Zhou Xiaoxi was taken aback by the old lady's momentum, is this Zhao Xin's mother?

It looks really old, and at first glance it is a stern person, which makes people dare not have a trace of disrespect.

At this time, Zhou Xiaoxi still remembered what she said to her grandmother before, she wanted to find Mrs. Zhao to explain the law, and she only thought that she must pay attention to her words and deeds, don't let the old lady pick it, and put on the most gentle and decent smile on her face.

Seeing them walk in, Mrs. Zhao looked over, a smile appeared on her face, and the majesty just now disappeared in an instant, and suddenly turned into a kind and kind old man.

Seeing this change, Zhou Xiaoxi became more cautious in his heart.

"You see that you also came out to greet me, and I saw something. Mrs. Zhou said with a smile.

Mrs. Zhao also smiled: "Come out and take a walk." Then she shifted her gaze to Zhou Xiaoxi and asked, "What is this...... Your granddaughter Creek?"

arranged a blind date for Zhao Xin and Zhou Xiaoxi before, and Mrs. Zhao had seen Zhou Xiaoxi's photos and information.

She obviously recognized Zhou Xiaoxi, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Zhou would bring Zhou Xiaoxi too, she remembered that her son said that she would talk about marriage after thirty, and then looked at Zhou Xiaoxi's docile and flattering smile, and suddenly understood.

Zhou Xiaoxi said respectfully and obediently: "Hello old lady, I am Xiaoxi." "There is not a single superfluous word that is pretentious.

"Well, she's a good girl. Mrs. Zhao said with a smile.

Mrs. Zhou interjected with a smile: "Before going out, this girl came over, I heard that I was coming to you, I must come with her, or bring her to have a long experience." ”

Old Mrs. Zhao smiled and shook her head: "If you want to see what you are doing here, you should go outside and take a good look." ”

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaoxi's heart sank on the side, she felt that Mrs. Zhao's words meant something, and she was euphemistically refusing her to come to Zhao's house, that is, she was euphemistically rejecting her and Zhao Xin's affairs.

Mrs. Zhou didn't react, but smiled: "With me, you are still modest." ”

The two walked all the way, passed through a door, and entered a spacious and bright main living room.

Zhou Xiaoxi saw that the two old ladies were seated, and then sat next to his grandmother.

The two old men exchanged a few words, and Mrs. Zhao seemed to think of Zhou Xiaoxi, so she said: "If Xiaoxi sits here boring, let's go outside to see the flowers and plants." ”

Zhou Xiaoxi immediately said sincerely: "I'm not bored, it's interesting to listen to you." ”

Mrs. Zhao smiled and didn't talk to her again, and talked to Mrs. Zhou again.

As soon as the two old ladies talked about it, there was no boundary, the things and people in the past, and the things and people now...... The babbling was half-loud. It's a pity that none of them are related to the Zhao family and Zhao Xin.

After sitting for an hour and not seeing his grandmother mention Zhao Xin, Zhou Xiaoxi became anxious, but under the burning gaze of Mrs. Zhao, he didn't dare to make any small moves.

Could it be that they are here and they say that it is inconvenient? Zhou Xiaoxi thought of this possibility, so he stood up with an embarrassed face.

"I drank too much tea and I wanted to go out for a walk. ”

Mrs. Zhao shouted "Ah Fen", and then an old lady who looked like a servant walked in.

"Ah Fen, you take the creek around outside. ”

"Hey, Miss Zhou, please come here. The maid named Ah Fen left the living room with Zhou Xiaoxi.

After having lunch at the Zhao family, the ancestors and grandchildren of the Zhou family said goodbye to the old lady Zhao and left the Zhao family.

As soon as the car started, Zhou Xiaoxi asked, "Grandma, what did you say when I was away?"

Old Mrs. Zhou looked solemn and slowly shook her head: "Xiaoxi, don't think about the blind date anymore." ”

"Why?" Zhou Xiaoxi blurted out.

Mrs. Zhou saw that her granddaughter was so anxious, and she regretted arranging this blind date before, when she also saw that Mrs. Zhao suddenly said that she wanted to show Zhao Xinxiang a daughter-in-law, and pushed her granddaughter out on the spur of the moment.

Now it seems that the mother and son of the Zhao family have not reached an agreement at all, and Mrs. Zhao has made concessions to Zhao Xin.

"At least for five years, Zhao Xin does not plan to get married. Mrs. Zhou still told her granddaughter frankly.

Zhou Xiaoxi's bright face sank suddenly, and she said after half a sound: "What do you mean by the blind date a few days ago? Playing with me? The Zhao family is really interesting, they have brought me so much trouble, don't they have an explanation?"

She was unhappy and unwilling, but she couldn't pull her face to ask if Zhao Xin didn't take a fancy to her, so she said that she didn't plan to get married within five years.

Is she that unbearable?!

Old Mrs. Zhou sighed and said, "There is a landscape painting hanging on the west wall of the restaurant where we ate just now, have you seen it? The Zhao family just bought it back yesterday and spent 50 million. ”

Zhou Xiaoxi was puzzled, but still said: "That painting is not worth so much, and it is worth five million if it dies."

Could it be that the Zhao family was cheated? Or did you borrow that painting to give favor?

Mrs. Zhou said lightly: "That painting was made by your uncle." ”

"What?" Zhou Xiaoxi looked at her grandmother in amazement, and after a pause, asked, "What do you mean?"

"I apologize to our Zhou family. ”

After a few seconds of silence in the car, Zhou Xiaoxi lost his voice and said: "Tens of millions of people want to send our Zhou family away, what do you think of us! Let my uncle return the money!"

Mrs. Zhou seemed to have thought of her granddaughter's gaffe and anger for a long time, and she grabbed her granddaughter's hand.

"Creek, don't get excited. Regardless of whether you buy this painting or not, you and Zhao Xin have no fate, and the Zhao family can send us away just by saying that it is not suitable, but the Zhao family has sued us according to the truth and apologized to us in this way. ”

Zhou Xiaoxi sneered: "I don't need such an apology, if it's not suitable, it's not suitable!"

"Your uncle has always wanted to build a gallery, and now that he has the money to build it, your father agreed. Mrs. Zhou told her granddaughter everything very coldly.

Zhou Xiaoxi was stunned, she looked at her grandmother in disbelief, and only after half a sound did she make sure that her grandmother didn't lie to her.

A feeling of betrayal suddenly invaded her, Zhou Xiaoxi's eyes slowly turned red, she stopped talking, and turned her head to look out of the car window.

Her first temptation was to be sold like this.
