Chapter 09: Can This Be Encountered?
Xu promised to worry about a change in the marriage contract, and the Xu family also had such doubts.
So on this day, let Xu promise to invite Sheng Jiang to the family for dinner, and explore the Sheng family and his plans by the way, so that it is best to pick a nearby date to get engaged.
Promise to call Sheng Jianglai and make an appointment for Chinese food.
However, the Xu family prepared a large table of sumptuous lunches, and waited until two o'clock in the afternoon, when Sheng Jiang came over there to make a leisurely call, on the grounds that he had just returned to China and was jet lag, so he only got up now. I can't make it to lunch in time, come in the evening.
The Xu family's hearts were hung in the air, and there was no gossip, and they immediately asked the kitchen to hurry up and prepare dinner.
Mother Xu looked around the kitchen, came out and saw Xu Promise's preoccupied appearance, pulled her to sit aside, and comforted softly: "Don't worry, Jiang Lai has feelings for you." He came over in the evening, and my mother asked you about your marriage, okay? ”
Xu nodded slightly, how could he not be worried in his heart?
She can't be a daughter now, and the young grandmother of the Sheng family is also hanging. Originally, she was a golden branch and jade leaf, born in the Xu family, and the marriage contract was in the Sheng family, so she was waiting to marry to be the young grandmother of the Sheng family.
But I didn't expect that a river would pop up!
Xu Yu clenched her hands, she hated her second aunt, everyone was dead, and she wanted to disturb the peace of the living.
She hates Jiang Xi even more, since she has lived in Benjiang, why did she still come to Yundu?
"Mom, if my marriage with Brother Jiang Lai changes, will you and Dad not want me anymore? Will it drive me away? Xu asked in a panic.
Mother Xu hugged her daughter distressedly, "How come?" You are the baby that your mother has loved and grown up since she was a child, and your weight at home is the same as your brother's. Don't be cranky, huh? ”
"What about Jiang Xi?" Promise asked.
Mother Xu was stunned, and sighed lightly: "The Xu family owes her, and she will naturally not treat her badly when she comes back." Nuo'er, don't worry, your parents will not favor one over the other, you are also our daughter. ”
"Hmmm......"
Xu promised to hate in her heart, and Xu's mother said that she would not favor one over the other, so as soon as the wild girl who suddenly appeared came back, she would enjoy the same treatment as her?
Why?
In the evening, the Xu family put another sumptuous feast on the table, but Sheng Jianglai still did not come.
"Promise, you call Jiang Lai and ask where he is." Father Xu urged in a deep voice.
Xu Promise raised his eyes, and he was reluctant in his heart: "Dad, I've made two phone calls, if I call again, he will be impatient." ”
Mother Xu hurriedly relieved the siege: "Wait a minute, Jiang Lai has just returned to China, and he is still jet lag, and he doesn't feel hungry, so he doesn't think about it." Wait a minute, Jiang Xi hasn't arrived yet. ”
Xu Yu raised his eyes suddenly: Xu Jiangxi, too?!
Father Xu asked lightly: "What do you tell her to do when your family eats?" ”
Mother Xu added a thorn in her heart and responded: "Jiang Xi is also a family, Nuo'er is about to get engaged, and she should know that she is a younger sister." ”
The old man answered: "It's okay to come back, let her see who promised to marry, just warn her not to fool around with those who don't mess around outside." The daughter of the Xu family must be the right person. ”
Xu's father and Xu's mother nodded yes. Xu Promise felt uncomfortable when she heard it, she hoped that Xu Jiangxii would not come out of that town for the rest of her life, and it was best not to come to Yundu forever, for them, Xu Jiangxii was someone who should not exist.
"But," Xu promised to whisper his considerations: "Grandpa, I haven't seen Brother Jianglai for two years, it's rare to invite him over for a light meal, and let him see strangers again, I'm worried that this will affect his mood." Moreover, Sister Jiang Xi is here, how can we talk to Brother Jiang Lai about marriage? ”
When Mother Xu heard this, she was shocked to realize that she had done something wrong.
"I didn't take into account Jiang Lai's feelings, I just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity and let Jiang Xi come back for a meal. Nuonuo's engagement is a great joy for our Xu family, and Jiang Xi should also know about it. So ......"
Mother Xu looked at Xu Promise apologetically, and Xu Promise thought to herself, it's too late to let Xu Jiangxi not come. But Xu's mother just said a few words in a coy manner, and then there was no follow-up.
I wanted to say it a few times, but I gritted my teeth and swallowed it.
She is now in the Xu family, under the fence, and is no longer the only daughter of the Xu family. Only when she marries the Sheng family will her soul be free.
Time passed minute by minute, and Jiang Xi arrived at Xu's house at half past seven.
She was still wearing the light-colored knit sweater and jeans she had just bought, standing in the Xu family's dining room.
"Sie, come and sit, come and sit next to Mom." Mother Xu immediately approached Jiang Xi, her face full of concern.
Jiang Xi refused: "I came here after eating at school, Auntie, if you have anything to say now, I have to rush back to school." ”
Mother Xu's smile froze on her face, her heart hurt for a while, and then she said: "Mom asked you to come back for dinner, why did you eat first before coming over?" Bringing you back today, it's your sister who is getting engaged, and you're going to meet your future brother-in-law. ”
"Thanks, I've eaten it." Jiang Xi pursed her lower lip, if it was just this, she thought she could go back to school now.
Mother Xu didn't want to embarrass Jiang Xi, so she hurriedly asked her aunt to take her to sit in the hall, and told her subordinates to send fruit snacks.
Mother Xu's promise and affection for Jiang Xi, the promise was in her eyes, and her heart was even more unpleasant.
Old Man Xu and Father Xu were very dissatisfied with Jiang Xi, and their facial expressions were already very clear.
It was past eight o'clock in a flash, and Sheng Jianglai finally appeared, and he came after a meal.
"Old man, you use it slowly, I'll go to the living room and sit down." Sheng Jianglai went straight to the living room.
Xu Yu hurriedly asked his subordinates: "Where is Xu Jiangxi?" ”
"Miss Jiang Xi breathes in the back garden."
Xu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, immediately drank half a bowl of soup, and put the chopsticks away, "I'm done, I'll go to accompany Brother Jiang Lai." ”
Old Man Xu said in a deep voice: "Don't be so anxious! ”
The promise was not clear, so the old man said again: "Dry him, that kid, you should also teach him a lesson." ”
"Grandpa......" Xu promised that he was so anxious that he was about to cry, and looked at Xu's mother again: "Mom, I haven't seen Brother Jianglai for two years......"
Mother Xu glanced at her ruddy daughter, and couldn't help but say, "Your grandfather is right, we are girls, we can't be too proactive." Eat something more and let him know what it's like to wait for someone so he doesn't ignore you all the time, you know? ”
Promise was forced to sit back in his seat, and he didn't know what to eat.
Sheng Jianglai wandered around the living room of the Xu family, and also went to the garden.
There is a small pool in the back garden of Xujia, there is a stone carving in the pool, there is a water flow and light on the stone carving, and the colorful is very good-looking.
Sheng Jianglai walked into the garden bored, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Jiang Xi.
Jiang Xi was sitting on the edge of the pool, staring at the water flow on the stone carving distractedly, and the colorful lights hit her face, reflecting each other, and the appearance was better than the small scene of the pool.
Sheng Jianglai stood and watched for a while, thinking that it was too amazing, she could meet her here.
"Chick." Sheng Jianglai shouted.
