Chapter 836

"Then I'll have to wait until you get into my household register."

Xu Ruoqing: "......"

I didn't have a word of it!

He'd say!

Leaving the bathroom door, I bumped into Zhou Jiarong who was holding a wine glass.

Zhou Jiarong squinted his eyes, glanced at Xu Ruoqing, and sneered: "In front of the old lady, I saved you some face, don't really think that the master is afraid of you." ”

Li Tingsheng glanced at Zhou Jiarong coldly.

Zhou Jiarong immediately changed his words: "I don't know you now. ”

Looking at Zhou Jiarong's back, Xu Ruoqing said quietly: "Your cousin is so cowardly? ”

Li Tingsheng said lightly: "It has been this virtue since I was a child. ”

After a pause, Li Tingsheng seemed to remember something, and added: "If you meet him in the future, you don't have to worry about it." ”

Xu Ruoqing: "I don't want to meet him." ”

A sudden voice interrupted the conversation between the two.

"Young Master Li, the old lady asked Miss An to go to the study."

The man was the butler of the manor, an Englishman in his mid-fifties.

Li Tingsheng frowned.

Mrs. Ning, like his mother, insisted that he should marry a well-connected young lady.

Xu Ruoqing raised her head and took Li Tingsheng's thoughtful appearance into her eyes.

She smiled and gently tugged at Li Tingsheng's hand: "It's okay." ”

Xu Ruoqing stood on tiptoe, held Li Tingsheng's shoulder with one hand, put her lips to his ear, and said softly: "Isn't this the purpose of coming today?" ”

After speaking, Xu Ruoqing opened her hand lightly and smiled at the housekeeper: "Okay, then please trouble Mr. Housekeeper to lead the way." ”

......

In the study, Mrs. Ning was holding a white Persian cat in her hand.

She gently stroked the hair of the Persian cat, and the maid in the room ordered, "Go and make a pot of English black tea, prepare dessert, and bring it to the study." ”

Maid: "Yes, old lady. ”

The housekeeper took Xu Ruoqing to the study.

Xu Ruoqing looked at the old man on the sofa and showed a gentle smile: "Grandma Ning, hello." ”

Old Lady Ning nodded and motioned for Xu Ruoqing to sit on the sofa.

The atmosphere in the study room was a little tense.

Xu Ruoqing knew very well what she was facing next.

The maid took a pot of cold English black tea, poured two cups, and added honey.

Freshly baked cookies are on the table.

A faint creamy scent spreads through the study.

"Taste it." Mrs. Ning said.

Xu Ruoqing picked up a cookie and put it in her mouth.

It melts in your mouth and has a rich creamy aroma.

The pastry chef is highly skilled enough to highlight the owner's taste.

"It's very tasty." Xu Ruoqing commented.

After Mrs. Ning took a sip of iced black tea, she ate a few more pieces of dim sum before she cut to the chase: "Miss An, you are very good." ”

Xu Ruoqing could almost guess what the old lady Ning was going to say.

Sure enough, Mrs. Ning's next words were: "But if you want to marry into the Li family, it's not enough to be excellent." The Li family doesn't need an ordinary woman with no background, even if she is beautiful and has excellent academic qualifications. ”

The hostess that the Li family needs needs to have a long family background.

All this, the woman in front of her did not have.

Xu Ruoqing nodded: "I agree with you. ”

A look of approval flashed in Old Lady Ning's eyes.
