Chapter 380: Her mother disagrees
A week later, Xu Xiangsi and Leng Mo returned to China.
The car stopped in the garden of the cold house, and the old butler hurriedly greeted him and bowed respectfully.
"Sir, Miss."
Leng Mo asked, "How are you doing at home?" ”
"Everything is fine, but the old lady she ......," the old butler hesitated.
Leng Mo frowned, "What's wrong with her?" ”
"Ah, it's nothing, it's just that her mood is still a little low, probably because of ...... But now it's okay, the eldest lady is back. ”
"Let's go upstairs and see her." Leng Mo said.
Xu Xiangsi nodded, handed the luggage to the old housekeeper, and went upstairs first.
Pushing open the quaint door, she saw the long-lost cold mother at a glance.
The old woman sat on the wooden chair by the window, staring at the sunset outside the window in a daze, a few rays of warm yellow light, reflecting her pale white hair, and her back was a little twilight.
"Auntie......" Xu Xiangsi called softly.
The old woman on the wooden chair trembled slightly, slowly turned her face sideways, and saw Xu Xiangsi walking to her, and the vicissitudes of life finally had a look in her old eyes.
"Girl, you...... You're back? She couldn't hide her joy and couldn't help but hold Xu Xiangsi's hand.
"Hmm." Xu Xiangsi nodded, "I'm back, I'm sorry, aunt." ”
Leng's mother cried with joy, wiped her tears and said, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back, do you know how worried I am about you during the time you have been gone, I don't think about tea, I don't want to ...... food"
Looking at the old woman's obviously emaciated face, which looked a little older, Xu Xiangsi couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable in his eyes.
This was originally a matter between her and Leng Mo, and at Leng's mother's age, she still had to worry about them.
"I'm sorry, auntie, for worrying you."
"Girl, tell me, why did you leave on the wedding day?"
This matter is a long story, and Xu Xiangsi didn't want the old lady to worry more, so she didn't talk about it anymore.
"Auntie, it's just a little misunderstanding, don't worry, it's been solved now."
Leng's mother didn't dig deeper, Xu Xiangsi came back, she was relieved, and her eyebrows and eyes gradually showed kindness.
At this moment, a crisp shout came from behind him.
"Mom!"
Immediately followed by a series of running footsteps, Xu Xiangsi just looked back, and a soft and cute little girl pounced on her legs.
Yuanyuan hugged her tightly, and looked at her with a round little face, smiling happily.
"Baby, is Mommy back, happy?"
"Happy! My mom isn't here, and no one tells me bedtime stories! ”
Xu Xiangsi smiled and hugged her daughter, "Didn't Uncle Housekeeper tell you?" ”
Yuanyuan pouted and said, "Uncle Butler told me, but he always fell asleep before me." ”
Her words amused Xu Xiangsi.
"Mom, didn't you say to bring me a gift, where's the gift?" She blinked her big, round eyes, which were full of anticipation.
"Of course!"
Xu Xiangsi reluctantly put her down, opened the travel bag, and gave the gift to the girl.
"Dangdangdang...... What do you see this is? ”
It was a handicraft she had bought from Murano, Venice's city of glass, and it looked like a small fish tank, with a few lifelike little goldfish swimming in a faint blue glow.
"Ah, little goldfish!"
Yuanyuan happily took it, played with it, and asked curiously, "Alas? Mom, is this little goldfish fake? ”
"Of course, the water and goldfish in here are all made of glass, do you like it?"
"Like! It's so beautiful, thank you Mom! ”
The child is always easily satisfied, happily pecks her face, and then plays with the small fish tank.
Leng's mother withdrew her kind gaze and asked Xu Xiangsi, "Girl, your marriage with Mo'er can't be delayed any longer." ”
Xu Xiangsi blushed and said, "It depends on Leng Mo." ”
"I'll rush him. Although the guests have been informed that the wedding has been postponed, if it is delayed, I am afraid that it will be a joke. Besides, I also want to see you and Amo form a family as soon as possible, so it's good for the children. ”
Xu Xiangsi didn't say anything more, just smiled shyly.
This trip to Venice, I had enough fun, although I was a little reluctant, Xu Xiangsi still returned to work in the group.
"What? Have you already met? ”
In the office, Xu Xiangsi's surprised cry came.
"Shh Wen Xuan hurriedly asked her to be quiet, and looked back at the window, as if she was afraid of being heard.
Xu Xiangsi lowered his voice, "You took Li Mu to see Auntie, what did Auntie say?" ”
"She doesn't agree."
"Disagree? Why? ”
Wen Xuan sighed, his face full of helplessness.
"Sisi, Li Mu has a wooden stake, and when he saw my mother, he wouldn't say a word of good flattery, so he would just sit there and push his glasses stiffly, so he praised my mother for saying "Auntie is so young", right? ”
Xu Xiangsi smiled.
"And yes!" Wen Xuan continued in distress, "What about my mother, you know better, although people are good at talking on weekdays, but they are very harsh in finding me a boyfriend, after Li Mu left, she directly said that Li Mu is not good, I quarreled with her, and I still don't speak!" ”
Xu Xiangsi, who listened to these words, sighed.
Aunt Wen is a very enthusiastic person, and if she has any shortcomings, she is somewhat snobbish - in choosing a boyfriend for Wen Xuan.
Her thinking is still a little old-fashioned, and she is a single mother, thinking that after giving birth to such a beautiful daughter, she must marry a rich man, so that Wenxuan will not suffer, and the whole family can enjoy happiness.
Besides, Wenxuan also has a younger brother who goes to school in other places, and it is not a big expense to buy a car, buy a house and get married in the future.
Xu Xiangsi comforted, "Okay, Auntie is also very hard, it is normal to raise your brothers and sisters alone, and it is normal to have this kind of thought." ”
"I think she's gone mad. Look for some rich people for me all day long, what kind of listed company CEO, rich second generation, but she doesn't want to think, how can rich people look down on me? ”
After summarizing it a little, Xu Xiangsi asked, "So, does Auntie think Li Mu has no money?" ”
"Yes, when she heard that Li Mu was just an assistant, she was upset at the time, because he thought he might have to be a boss."
Xu Xiangsi sighed, "Then, about Auntie's disagreement, does Li Mu know?" ”
"I don't know, how dare I tell him?"
At this moment, Li Mu came.
Today, he is obviously deliberately dressed up, he is very handsome in a suit, and the slightly old-fashioned glasses on weekdays have been replaced with invisible ones, and even the leather shoes are polished.
He looked in high spirits, still carrying a large bag of gifts in his hand, and when he saw Wenxuan, he walked quickly.
"What are you doing here?" Wen Xuan asked.
"I think I'll visit your mom again tonight."
"Huh? Why? ”
Li Mu scratched his head and said, "I always felt that she didn't seem to be very enthusiastic about me the last time we met, and I thought I had to try to give some gifts, so that I might be able to please her." ”
Xu Xiangsi and Wen Xuan looked at each other, and they both saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
"By the way, Sisi, today I and Wenxuanhui will leave work early and come over to talk to you." He said to Xu Xiangsi again.
Xu Xiangsi didn't know what to say, Wen Xuan hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke with difficulty.
"What, Li Mu, I'll tell you the truth...... Hmmm! ”
She didn't finish her words, because Xu Xiangsi quickly covered her mouth.
"What did you say?" Li Mu asked.
"Ah, it's nothing, Wen Xuan wants to tell you, you are too bright in a white suit, maybe you are calmer if you change it to black."
Li Mu glanced down at his clothes, "But I don't think it's very bright......"
Wen Xuan asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Sisi, let me tell him." ”
"But you said it, it would hurt his pride."
"Yes...... But I can't hide it anymore! ”
"What's the matter, can you still break up with him?"
"Of course not, it's a big deal, secretly fight guerrillas, it's really not possible to get a certificate secretly, cut first and then play."
Xu Xiangsi smiled bitterly, "You will make Auntie faint like this." ”
"That'...... So what should I do? Wen Xuan was distressed.
The two of them were whispering to each other, but Li Mu couldn't hear it, so he narrowed his eyes suspiciously.
"I said, you two ......"
"Nothing." Xu Xiangsi shook his head, and then said, "By the way, Li Mu, I want to tell you good news. ”
Li Mu snorted disdainfully, "According to the past practice, I will never be happy with your good news." ”
"I promise not this time." Xu Xiangsi got up slowly, and his tone was rarely positive.
