Lou Ruan was holding his hand, and the confusion in his eyes flashed.

Although I am used to being treated coldly, it is the first time that I have been firmly held by someone at such a time.

"Aunt Huang, I'm getting married." Lou Ruan stood under the dappled light and shadow, her clear black eyes reflected a deep and shallow broken light, "I brought my fiancé to show my mother today." ”

-

Xu's living room.

Freshly ground coffee was placed in front of Xie Yanli and Lou Ruan, and the mellow aroma gradually spread.

Mrs. Xu was wearing a retro green dress, her slightly curly long hair was draped behind her head, her well-maintained face was pale, she put down the coffee in her hand, and did not look at Xie Yanli a few more times, but looked at Lou Ruan, "Want to get married?" ”

Xu Xuze sat next to her, and he was still like a hedgehog in the police station, as if he was wilting, sitting quietly beside her, without saying a word.

The air around him seemed to become heavy, overwhelming.

Lou Ruan sat next to Xie Yanli and nodded slightly, "Hmm." ”

The woman in the long green dress glanced at Xie Yanli for no more than two seconds, and then nodded, "I've seen people, let's end it." ”

She didn't even ask what his name was.

Xu Xuze, who had been shrinking his head and not speaking, finally couldn't help it, frowned and shouted, "Mom! ”

The woman turned her head to look over, her hand with a huge ruby ring brushing her hair casually, and her well-groomed face still looked faint, "What are you doing?" ”

After she looked over, Xu Xuze seemed to be cowardly again, lowered his head, and whispered, "You at least ask him what his name is, how old he is this year, what school he graduated from, where he lives, how many people are in the family, what kind of work he does now, how is his financial situation, whether he has debts, how is his physical condition, how long have they known each other, when they plan to get married, where they will get married, and the bride price and dowry ......"

As he spoke, his voice grew quieter and quieter.

Mrs. Xu, who was sitting next to him, had already picked up the coffee cup she had just put down, she took a sip with her eyes down, and a rose-red lipstick mark fell on the coffee cup, "No." ”

Xu Xuze looked at her, he didn't understand why he didn't use it, aren't these the most basic?

At least you have to know what the situation is in the other party's family, why don't you use it for such a big thing as getting married?

She didn't give Xie Yanli and Lou Ruan a second glance, and turned her head to look at the servants waiting aside, "Go to my dresser and get that red box." ”

"Yes, ma'am."

Xie Yanli sat there, his expression gradually fading.

The coffee in front of him was bubbling with aroma, but he didn't have the slightest desire to touch it.

The maid quickly took the box that Mrs. Xu asked for and handed it to her.

The woman opened the old velvet box, took out a bank card from it, and pushed the card in front of Lou Ruan, "This is the dowry left to you by your parents." ”

The box was also pushed over, and there was a set of topaz jewelry inside, and the diamonds were in good condition, but the style looked like it was old.

"This is also your mother's, and I'll give it back to you now."

Xu Xuze looked at the things on the table and pursed his lips.

Lou Ruan looked at the set of jewelry and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but before he could say anything, the woman opposite clapped her hands and stood up, "Go back, I won't go to the wedding, I will go abroad for a vacation in a few days, it may take a while." ”

Xu Xuze couldn't help it again: "Mom! What are you doing here, it's okay to do it normally, how can you ...... such a big thing as getting married?"

"Then there you go." The woman stood in front of the coffee table and the sofa, glanced down at Xu Xuze, and left without looking at Lou Ruan and them again.
