The old man was talking to Xiao Wenshulan in the living room, and when he heard the sound outside, he guessed that Xiao Yixuan and Xia Yuqing had arrived, and immediately stood up from the sofa, and was about to go outside, when he saw that Xia Yuqing had already entered the living room.

"Grandpa." Xia Yuqing first said hello to the old man, and when she saw Xiao Wenshulan on the side, she looked a little surprised, but she quickly shouted, "Mom." ”

"Hmm." Xiao Wen Shulan nodded, and didn't look at her again after answering.

Knowing that Xiao Wenshulan has never had a good impression of herself, it is not surprising that Xia Yuqing does not expect her to respond to her enthusiastically.

The old man walked in front of Xia Yuqing on crutches, and said with a smile: "Yuqing is back?" What about Yixuan? ”

The old man's smile was very big, and even the wrinkles on his face looked deeper, and it could be seen that he was in a good mood.

"...... in the back"

"Grandpa."

Before Xia Yuqing's words were finished, a calm and low male voice came from behind her.

Like Xia Yuqing, Xiao Yixuan didn't expect Xiao Wenshulan to be here, nodded at her and said, "Mom, are you here too?" ”

It was originally a question of inquiry, but in Xiao Wenshulan's ears, it changed its meaning vividly.

Standing up from the sofa, Xiao Wenshulan chuckled lightly as she walked in their direction, and asked rhetorically, "Why, can't I be here?" ”

During this time, because of Lan Qianya's relationship, she often went to the Lan family, and as long as she went to the Lan family, she could see Lan Qianming and Qin Yafeng chatting and talking together three times or twice.

That kind of picture is warm to the bones, and the impact on her is bigger and bigger.

Why? Why can Qin Yafeng talk and laugh with her son, but she and Xiao Yixuan cannot?

Every time she thought of this, Xiao Wenshulan's heart was not good, and she complained more about the old man.

It's just that she can't show these emotions in front of Xiao Yixuan.

Xiao Yixuan's face was unwavering, and his tone was calmer than just now, and he said lightly: "I didn't mean that." ”

It's just that he didn't know, because of his words, because of his flat tone, Xiao Wen Shulan's heart was even more uncomfortable than just now.

Or, in fact, he knew, but this was his purpose, after all, at Lan Qianya's birthday banquet that day, Xiao Wenshulan did a little too much.

Although they have not lived together for a long time, the old man still knows Xiao Wenshulan very well, especially her love for Xiao Yixuan as a mother.

Afraid that Xiao Wenshulan would be stimulated by Xiao Yixuan's words, and make something unpleasant, he hurriedly said: "Okay, don't stand, sit down and talk." ”

Xiao Wenshulan opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but before she could make a sound, she heard the old man's words, so she had to give up and swallow the words back into her stomach.

Several people sat down on the sofa, and Sister Liu immediately brought over four cups of tea.

The old man held Xia Yuqing's hand, looked at Xiao Yixuan and said, "Yuqing's meeting is still two days away, how is the arrangement?" ”

This is also the reason why he asked Xiao Yixuan and Xia Yuqing to come over today. After all, it was Xia Yuqing's first official appearance as Xiao Yixuan's wife, and there could be no mistakes that day, and this matter had always been handled by Xiao Yixuan, and he was afraid that he would not be clear on the phone, so he called them all over.

However, hearing the old man's words, Xia Yuqing's expression darkened a little.

Once upon a time, she was also looking forward to that meeting, expecting Xiao Yixuan to officially announce that she was his wife in front of relatives, friends, partners and the media, but after the past few days, she was no longer looking forward to it.

If it weren't for the fact that he was surrounded by so many reporters and asked those embarrassing questions, if he wasn't afraid that she wouldn't be able to answer and lose the face of the Xiao family, then maybe he wouldn't suddenly say that he was going to hold a meeting for himself, right?

And now? Now that he was disgusted with himself, that meeting must have come to naught......

Thinking of this, Xia Yuqing's heart was slightly lost.

Although she has been reminding herself in her heart since yesterday that she can't expect too much from Xiao Yixuan, she still feels a little sad when she thinks of it.

Just when Xia Yuqing was hanging her head and being very lonely, a gentle and elegant voice came from her ears: "It's almost." ”

Xia Yuqing was slightly stunned, turned her head and looked at Xiao Yixuan sitting beside her in some surprise, but saw Xiao Yixuan holding a cup of tea in her hand, took a sip gently, and her eyes just fell in front of her casually, not even in focus, let alone looking at her.

Originally, there was still a little joy in my heart, but when I saw Xiao Yixuan's indifferent expression, the little joy that Xia Yuqing had just appeared seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind in an instant.

The reason why he said this is because of his grandfather, right? He knew that the news had spread too widely, and if he didn't really get a meeting, I'm afraid that grandpa would not be able to explain it, so he told grandpa like this, right?

Lowering her head again, Xia Yuqing resumed her posture just now.

The old man was very happy to hear Xiao Yixuan's words, so naturally he didn't notice Xia Yuqing's demeanor, nodded and said, "Okay, that's good, but you must do it beautifully." ”

As he spoke, the old man patted Xia Yuqing's hand with just the right amount of strength.

In order not to disappoint the old man, and not to let him worry too much about himself and Xiao Yixuan, Xia Yuqing had no choice but to raise the corners of her mouth towards her grandfather and smile slightly.

Xiao Wenshulan on the side suddenly said: "Dad, you are right, you have to do it beautifully." ”

If Xia Yuqing was surprised when she heard Xiao Yixuan's words just now, then now when she heard Xiao Wenshulan's words, she was a little stunned.

Xiao Wenshulan has always disliked her, the last time she heard that Xiao Yixuan was going to hold a meeting for herself, she even almost quarreled with Xiao Yixuan, but now how can she ......

Thinking that Xiao Wenshulan was talking the opposite, Xia Yuqing looked at her, but found that there was a smile on her face, and that smile was not adulterated, as if she really hoped that this meeting could be held very grandly.

Seeing Xia Yuqing staring at herself, the smile on Xiao Wenshulan's face deepened a little, and she looked at her and said, "Yuqing is also the daughter-in-law of our Xiao family, if you don't do it well, then people outside still think that our family is not in harmony." ”

Xia Yuqing still smiled sweetly at Xiao Wen Shulan, but she felt even more strange in her heart.

There is discord within the Xiao family, this is an obvious thing, it turned out that she thought that Xiao Wen Shulan's relationship with the old man and Xiao Yixuan was not good because she was opposed to marrying into the Xiao family, but gradually she found that this was not the case.

When she was with Xiao Yixuan, she almost never heard him mention Xiao Wenshulan, and when she was with the old man, even when she had just married into the Xiao family and only lived in the villa with Zhang's mother, she didn't even hear Zhang's mother mention this lady of the Xiao family.

Therefore, if it is for this reason alone, Xia Yuqing will inevitably be a little unconvinced, but in addition, what could it be?

Xia Yuqing was still thinking about it, and Xiao Wenshulan said again: "Yuqing, how are you preparing?" I know a lot of people who went that day, and I'll introduce you to you when the time comes. ”

These words were said thoughtfully and diligently, which made Xia Yuqing feel uncomfortable, and her heart became even more strange.

Doesn't Xiao Wen Shulan hate her very much? When will you be so kind to yourself? Is it because the old man is here, so he specially made the appearance?

Just when Xia Yuqing couldn't figure it out, the old man nodded and said, "That's right, I also mean this." ”

As he spoke, the old man turned to Xiao Wen Shulan and said, "Shulan, you are Yuqing's mother-in-law, you have to take care of her that day." ”

Xiao Yixuan, who had not interjected beside him, heard this, but he twisted his eyebrows slightly.

So what they meant just now was that on the day of the meeting, Xiao Wenshulan would also go?

With suspicion in his heart, Xiao Yixuan looked at Xiao Wenshulan and saw that she was also smiling at herself, and quickly understood why she appeared in the old mansion today.

Two days ago, he had asked Xiao Wenshulan to have dinner, during which he revealed that he hoped that she would be able to travel abroad, so as to avoid attending Xia Yuqing's meeting, Xiao Wenshulan was noncommittal at that time, and now it seems that she should have come to the old man for help, and the old man specially called himself over, I am afraid that this is what he meant.

Originally, Xiao Yixuan wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, Xiao Wenshulan was his mother after all, and Xia Yuqing's mother-in-law, if she wasn't there that day, even if there was a legitimate reason, I am afraid that she would be used as a talking point by someone with a heart.

Thinking like this, Xiao Yixuan didn't say anything.

Since Xiao Wenshulan is going, as long as he pays more attention that day, with him there, there should be no mistakes.

After having a meal in the old mansion, Xiao Wenshulan left in advance, and the old man took Xiao Yixuan to the study, and after a lot of instructions, he also let him and Xia Yuqing go back.

On the way back to the Summer Palace, there was still nothing to say all the way.

In fact, Xia Yuqing wanted to ask Xiao Yixuan about the meeting, but she couldn't help it after all.

In case he asked, he directly said that this was what the old man meant, or that it was just for the sake of the Xiao family's face, so didn't he bring humiliation on himself?

So, forget it. Although she was forced to marry Xiao Yixuan, she still had her own dignity.

In the next two days, the two were still in a cold war, and neither of them deliberately talked to anyone.

Not only that, Xia Yuqing even took out the quilt that had been put into the closet again, and slept under the quilt with Xiao Yixuan again.

Anyway, he hates himself so much, why should he get up?

Originally, Xia Yuqing thought that she could make Xiao Yixuan more comfortable by doing this, but what she didn't expect was that Xiao Yixuan simply didn't go home to live in the next two nights.

Before going to bed, Xia Yuqing stood by the window, looking at the road outside illuminated by dim street lamps, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.
