Chapter 172: Behind the scenes
Jiang Xi left after lunch, and Mrs. Xu didn't go upstairs to ask Jiang Xi to go downstairs until Xue Pengcheng arrived home, only to find out that Jiang Xi had actually left.
Mrs. Xu went downstairs with an apologetic face, and Xue Pengcheng and Mrs. Xue were already sitting in the living room.
Seeing Mrs. Xu go downstairs alone, both of them were surprised.
Mrs. Xu looked apologetic: "I'm really sorry, Mrs. Xue, Peng Cheng, our family has gone to the company, and she has been very busy with work recently." That kid was a workaholic, and I don't know what she's up to, but I'm sorry......"
"Aunt is polite, Jiang Xi and I both work the same job, so I can understand her." Xue Pengcheng immediately laughed.
Mrs. Xue was a little unhappy on her face, and asked lightly: "Didn't Mrs. Xu tell Ling Qianjin that Cheng Er and I would come to visit?" β
Mrs. Xu's face froze, and she hurriedly explained: "I said it, but the company's affairs ...... I heard her talk about it in the morning, as if her leader had returned, and she had a lot to report. Her boss was not in Yundu before, and she was doing all the things in the department alone...... I don't know much about her job, but I just heard her talk about it, and I don't know if I mean it wrong. Mrs. Xue, I'm really sorry, our family is a sensible and polite child, and he won't leave on purpose. Please forgive me, Pengcheng, you have the same job as Xixi, you should be able to understand Xixi, right? β
Mrs. Xu pulled the topic to Xue Pengcheng, and Xue Pengcheng immediately nodded.
"Yes, Mom, didn't I tell you? As soon as Jiang Xi arrived in the people's livelihood sector, he presided over the overall situation alone. Now that Liang Qingyun is back, of course, the work report is indispensable. β
Who doesn't know Liang Qingyun?
There are not many noble wives like Mrs. Xu who live in a simple house and don't know anything.
Basically, people at this level, these names have all been heard. Moreover, there are not many noble ladies and wives who are really like Mrs. Xu, who completely ignore the outside world and only focus on their husbands and children.
Therefore, Xue Pengcheng deliberately moved out of Liang Qingyun, and Mrs. Xue's face looked better again.
Xue Pengcheng repeatedly avoided Jin Hye-ni's fiery pursuit, and suddenly said that he liked his colleague. Listening to it again, she can get on the right track in a short period of time, that girl is really a talent. In addition, it is the biological daughter of the Xu family, but Mrs. Xue has no objection.
"People are so busy, why are you so idle all day?"
"I'm different, whoever let me in is a management trainee? Mom, that's not what you want? Xie Pengcheng sighed softly.
"Okay, it's busy with work, and we can understand that." Mrs. Xue's words fell, and her eyes fell behind Mrs. Xu: "This is ......"
Mrs. Xu was slightly stunned, immediately turned around, and laughed again: "Oh, this is my eldest daughter, promise, promise, come and say hello to Aunt Xue." β
Xue Tai looked at the promise, not very satisfied, and then looked away.
Xue Pengcheng got up: "Hello, I heard Jiang Xi mention you, are you her sister?" β
Xu Promise couldn't help but laugh: "Yes, hello." β
I couldn't help but laugh in my heart, Xu Jiangxii would still talk to her in front of others?
"Do you think I should be such a vicious sister?" Promise asked.
Xue Pengcheng was stunned: "How come?" Miss Xu is so beautiful and gentle, how can she be associated with the word vicious? β
The corners of Xu Promise's mouth moved, and he smiled: "Then I have to thank my sister for showing mercy and not describing my sister as vicious in front of outsiders." Well, yes, she should be thanked. β
Xue Pengcheng sensed that something was wrong, so he just smiled and sat back.
Thinking of Jiang Xi's special life relationship, it is obvious that her relationship with the Xu family is like this, and the relationship with the promise that she grew up in the Xu family is normal.
However, Mrs. Xue looked dissatisfied, obviously she could hear from the side what kind of person Xu Jiangxi was.
"No'er, you sit and chat with the guests."
Mrs. Xu shouted, and promised to go downstairs, she couldn't let people go upstairs now, so she could only keep people.
"Mom, aren't you afraid that if I sit down and chat with Aunt Xue, it will scare people away?" Promise asks rhetorically.
Xu Tai almost didn't swallow in one breath: "Nuo'er! β
"Young Master Xue, I have something to tell you, can you go to the backyard with me?" Xu Promise looked at Xue Pengcheng and asked.
Xue Pengcheng raised his eyebrows: "Okay, no problem." β
Watching the two leave the hall and walk to the backyard, the two wives in the hall couldn't understand it.
Mrs. Xu was anxious, for fear of promising bad things.
And Mrs. Xue is becoming more and more dissatisfied with this Xu family.
The Xu family, from his wife to his daughter, is all chattering, how good can that Xu Jiangxi be?
Not satisfied, very dissatisfied.
Mrs. Jin Huini Xue has also seen it, that girl is as enthusiastic as fire, and she is sincere to her son, but she is too impetuous.
But then again, young people are not a little vibrant, what does it look like to be lifeless?
Before Mrs. Xue came, she felt that she could consider the Xu family, after all, her son liked it.
But after coming, there was a comparison, and this time it was biased in favor of Kim Hye-ni.
Promise sat in a rocking chair under the flower stand, with a gloomy face.
Xue Pengcheng stood for a while, sat down on the chair opposite her, sat down in front of her and asked, "Miss Xu, what's the matter?" β
Xu raised his eyes: "Does Xue Shao like my sister?" β
Xue Pengcheng raised his eyebrows: "It's obvious, is Miss Xu asking this?" β
"Are you going to marry her, then?" Promise asked again.
Xue Pengcheng was asked this question all of a sudden, and he was a little caught off guard.
It feels very strange, it's not the other party's elders who ask this, it's the other party's sister. Xue Pengcheng could guess that Jiang Xi and her sister didn't have a good relationship, but he couldn't guess what the purpose of Xu Promise was to ask these things.
"She and I are not very old, we are feeling good now and we are going to spend some more time together. If it's the right one, of course I'm going to get married. I don't know what Miss Xu meant by asking. β
Xue Pengcheng had a sense of haste when he was driven to the shelves, and he didn't feel very good.
He has a good impression of Jiang Xi, which is not denied.
However, this good feeling is not to the point of talking about marriage immediately, so he is a little disgusted and feels not very good.
"I see, that is, there is no plan at the moment...... Got married? Since there is no relationship that intends to get married, it is not true love. Xu Promise spoke slowly, his demeanor was calm, and he spoke like an endorsement, without emotion.
Xue Pengcheng was angry: "Miss Xu......"
Xu promised to answer immediately: "I have to congratulate you, fortunately you didn't think about marrying her." You're going to watch it for a while, and that's right. Do you know what kind of person she is after you've been together for a long time? At that time, you will thank you for your hesitation and not immediately decided to marry her. You're in luck! β
"That...... How so? Xue Pengcheng laughed and spread his hands, not understanding what she meant by this.
"It's very simple, she's not worthy at all, not worthy of you, and not worthy of any good man. Because she herself is half-hearted, stepping on a few boats, and using her background to win the sympathy of men. β
Xu Nuo's eyes were empty, as if he was numb by sadness, but it made people feel distressed subconsciously, and they would subconsciously believe her words.
"Miss Xu, I believe that Jiang Xi is not that kind of person, I have known her for a while, she is not that kind of person." Xue Pengcheng got up, "Nothing else, I'll leave first." β
"You must know about my engagement to Sheng Jiang, the young master of the Sheng family, right?" Promise raised his eyes and asked softly.
Xue Pengcheng looked sideways, his eyes still puzzled.
Xu promised again: "My fiancΓ© is going to divorce me because of Xu Jiangxi, hehe...... Just because of her. β
"Although I'm sorry to hear this news, this shouldn't be something that Jiang Xi can control, maybe it's just wishful thinking on the part of the young master of the Sheng family."
Xue Pengcheng turned around and promised again.
"How good Jiang Xi is, I know very well, I don't think it will be incredible for a man to like her, on the contrary, I think it's normal, which proves that my vision is not wrong."
When Xu Promise heard this, he was very surprised and laughed: "You believe her so much? Like, how would you like her? Did you fall in love with her at first sight? You don't get along with the two of you? If it is really so simple and simple, and the young master of the Sheng family is already engaged, will he empathize with her and stop falling in love? β
"What do you mean?" Xue Pengcheng twisted his eyebrows.
Xu Promise chuckled and said, "You can't imagine what women who want to gain a foothold in this metropolis will use in order to grasp a big tree." Xu Yu raised his eyes: "She wants to take root in Yundu, just because she is the biological daughter of the Xu family, is it okay?" She has to have all kinds of relationships to increase her bargaining chips in order to make her parents impress her. Forget it, Xue Shao, you won't understand the thoughts of these women, and even if you understand, you won't believe it, so why should I talk to you in vain. β
"Your guess may not be wrong, but if you put it on Xixi, you are wrong. She's not that kind of person, she, you don't understand. I don't know if Miss Xu is too deeply injured, so you regard Jiang Xi as an imaginary enemy. But I want to warn you, she's not what you think she is, and you don't have to target her. β
Xue Pengcheng's words fell, and he exhaled easily.
"Alright, we should be done with our words, let's go first."
"Xue Shao insisted on not believing it, and I couldn't help it, but kindly reminded you, it became that I was jealous of her and wanted to destroy her fate. Wait, sooner or later, you'll see her for what she really is. Promise to use words again to provoke Xue Pengcheng.
Xue Pengcheng laughed at it, but he felt sorry for Jiang Xi coming back to this home, which was not necessarily a good thing.
Xue Pengcheng had already entered the villa and stomped his feet angrily.
How could she just let Xu Jiangxi go?
Xu Yu sat for a long time, went back to the villa, and found that Xue Pengcheng was not there, which was very surprised.
"Aunt Xue, what about my mother and Xue Shao?" Xu asked subconsciously.
"Cheng'er brought a gift for your sister, and Mrs. Xu has already led him upstairs and put the gift into her room." Mrs. Xue closed the lid of the coffee, and then looked at Xu Promise: "Even if it is a little heart, it can also be a surprise." β
Surprise?
Heh, then she must turn the surprise into a fright.
"Aunt Xue, don't you know some of my sister's style?" Promise to sit down and ask.
Mrs. Xue raised her eyes slightly, with great dissatisfaction in her eyes.
She was curious about what kind of person Xu Jiangxii was, but promising to talk about other people's mouths when she seized the opportunity behind her back also had to keep people away.
