When Chen Xiuhua and Ning Wenfeng entered, Lu Zhengde and Du Lan were no longer at the door.
Seeing that most of the guests had arrived, they went inside to greet them.
However, the host family still pays attention when guests come in.
"You must be Wen Feng from the Ning family! It's been so long, I almost didn't recognize you."
Du Lan and her daughter Lu Yiyang went up to greet them.
Ning Wenfeng replied politely, "Yes, Aunt Lu, I am Ning Wenfeng."
This is my girlfriend, Chen Xiuhua!
Chen Xiuhua greeted politely, "Hello, Aunt Lu!"
Fortunately, she came with Ning Wenfeng, which made her feel a little relieved, as she didn't need to take out the invitation letter personally written by Master Lu.
Du Lan raised her eyebrows slightly, feigning displeasure: "Oh, Wen Feng, it's been five or six years, and you seem so distant!"
You should call me Auntie.
Welcome! And to Xiuhua, please don't be shy!
Ning Wenfeng felt a little embarrassed for a moment, adjusted his glasses, and obediently called out, "Auntie!"
"Okay, Yiyang, take your cousin and Xiuhua to your older brother Jinyang's table."
Du Lan smiled with satisfaction, then turned around to attend to other things.
She knew Ning Wenfeng's personality, so as not to make the young people feel uncomfortable.
Ning Jia, that bookworm, so refined and gentle, never expected that his girlfriend would be such an introverted girl.
However, Chen Xiuhua, that name sounds somewhat familiar.
“Okay, Mom! Wenfeng, Xiuhua, come with me.”
Lu Yiyang smiled slightly and extended his right hand, gesturing for him to enter.
As she turned to lead the way, she lowered her eyes to hide the surprise in them.
She knows Chen Xiuhua; she was the top-scoring liberal arts student in the national college entrance examination four years ago.
The young mathematician who proved the Sd conjecture some time ago is also a member of the Chen family.
Unexpectedly, she was Wen Feng's girlfriend!
Suddenly, from a nearby table of guests, someone who had just heard their voices could be heard speaking. One of the guests, a university professor, spoke with a hint of excitement on his face:
"Is Chen Xiuhua that math genius student? She's a senior at the University of Washington."
"Teacher Chen, do you know that girl?" someone asked from the side.
"Yes, Chen Xiuhua from our school even got into the research group of the Institute of Mathematics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences."
The speaker was Chen Xiaoyun, a university teacher.
She was a teacher at the University of Washington, and for a moment I felt proud of her; teachers naturally have a bias towards good students.
"That boy, surnamed Ning, should be Professor Ning and Professor Liang's grandson. He is also a genius student, specializing in physics."
Immediately, many of the guests nearby began to discuss how the Ning family had two academicians, highlighting the importance of family education and the importance of the younger generation.
My grandson is a top student, and so is the woman he chose!
I'm so envious! They're always someone else's kids.
Not far away, at Lu Zeyang's classmate's table.
As Zhou Qingqing watched Chen Xiuhua and the others pass by, her eyes flickered with surprise.
At the same time, she was also a little anxious. Why hadn't Master Lu appeared yet? She wanted to find an opportunity for the two of them to be alone, but he had to be there.
"Hey, look at that guy surnamed Chen, doesn't he look familiar? Isn't he the Chen family member who sued Sisi before?"
Liu Baozhu, Jiang Sisi, and several other young ladies from the upper echelons of Beijing's social circles were at the next table.
Another guest came in through the door. Lu Zhengnan was holding her grandson Xiao Jie in her arms, and she craned her neck to look at the door.
When she saw who it was, she shouted, "Dr. Xia, Ruolan, over here!"
The little boy in her arms seemed startled by his grandmother's voice and paused for a moment.
"Mom, please..." Keep your voice down.
The daughter-in-law, Li Hualin, noticed her son's reaction and quickly went over to squeeze his little hand to comfort him.
Li Hualin originally wanted to hold her son herself, but for some reason, she has been feeling very tired lately, with aches and pains in her back.
If she hadn't been certain that she and Changxing had used contraceptives during intercourse, she might have even suspected that she was pregnant.
Looking towards the entrance, Xia Ruolan, dressed in a red coat and with a sparkly purple hair clip, walked over gracefully and elegantly.
Li Hualin remained outwardly calm, but inwardly she felt uneasy. At home, her mother-in-law often talked about Xia Ruolan.
They say she has excellent medical skills, a good personality, is beautiful, and has a good family background; she's a perfect candidate for a wife.
At first, she didn't know that her mother-in-law's idea was to matchmake Lu's younger brother-in-law with Xia Ruolan.
Li Hualin almost thought that her mother-in-law was dissatisfied with her as her daughter-in-law.
He was implying that Xia Ruolan was a target of his sarcasm, and that he wanted to get Xia Ruolan to marry Changxing and become the daughter-in-law of the Shen family.
As for why her mother-in-law thought so highly of Xia Ruolan, Li Hualin later asked Changxing and only then learned a little bit about it.
It turns out that the mother-in-law, Lu Zhengnan, originally wanted to be a doctor, just like Lu Zhengyi, the sixth aunt of the Lu family, but her professional grades were not good enough, so she later switched to being a nurse.
Xia Ruolan, on the other hand, had returned from studying medicine abroad and was working at the First People's Hospital with Lu Zhengnan.
If Xia Ruolan could become her seventh brother's wife, Lu Zhengnan could boast to outsiders while he was in the hospital.
The eldest sister-in-law and the younger brother's wife, perhaps in private, could give Dr. Xia a lecture.
The mother-in-law, not content with trying to control her daughter-in-law at home, even tried to control her brother's wife from her own family.
Li Hualin felt a sense of irony.
If she hadn't had a good job, first as a nurse in the military, then transferred back to Beijing to become a team leader in the Ministry of Health.
Moreover, her maternal family, the Li family, is not bad, and she also has her maternal uncle's family, the Zheng family.
She felt that she might really be completely controlled by her mother-in-law, after all, her mother-in-law truly loved Changxing.
"Hello, Sister Zhengnan!" At this moment, Xia Ruolan arrived in front of her, interrupting Li Hualin's wild thoughts.
"Ruolan, have a seat!" Lu Zhengnan greeted her warmly.
Xia Ruolan called Zheng Nan "sister," her feelings were obvious, but Lu's seventh uncle already had someone he liked.
Li Hualin instantly felt that she was a generation younger than Dr. Xia, who was the same age as her.
A thought struck her: "Hello, Dr. Xia! Xiao Jie, quickly greet Grandma Xia!"
Little Jie, not yet three years old, looked confused and said in his childish voice, "Grandma Xia!"
Instantly, the laughter and chatter of the nearby guests stopped.
"Hahaha... Such a young grandma!"
Among the guests across the way, one of the little brats burst out laughing.
The parents nearby immediately whispered, pretending to scold their unruly child: "We'll deal with you when we get home, you're so rude!"
"Hua Lin, what nonsense are you talking about? Xiao Jie, call her Dr. Xia!"
Lu Zhengnan quickly smoothed things over, "Hehe, Ruolan, he's just a kid and doesn't know any better, please don't mind him!"
She also took Xia Ruolan's hand and patted it, as if to comfort her, saying: "After you marry my seventh son, you will indeed be my great-aunt."
"Sister Zhengnan, it's nothing." Xia Ruolan's expression was calm, but she was so angry inside that she almost vomited blood.
She then turned to Li Hualin, her words carrying a hint of gritted teeth.
"Hello Hualin, your son is so cute!"
Hmph, don't think she doesn't know that back then, Li Hualin, you chased after Shen Changxing and even followed him to the army.
Now that she has married Shen Changxing as she wished, is she proud of herself?
They were still separated, a girl from the Chen family from a small county town.
Is there a problem with her wanting to marry Master Lu?
Just then, a commotion arose at the entrance of the banquet hall. Li Hualin picked up her son, turned around, and ignored Xia Ruolan.
"The dashing Bai Feng of the Bai family has arrived!"
