Ningxia didn't come out from beginning to end. She only walked out of the house slowly after the two men left.
"Lu Hai, we will go to the family compound with you later." Ning Xia looked at Ren Jingxiao and Lu Hai squatting there without saying anything, and then spoke.
They weren't talking nonsense when they said they were going to the staff quarters to wish him a happy new year. They had to go see Minister Zheng and wish him a happy new year.
There is also the family compound. Even if the two of them don't like to interact with others, the necessary interpersonal interactions are unavoidable.
"Okay, let's go together. Brother Ren and his wife will be at my house for lunch. My mother has been wanting to meet you for a long time."
Lu Hai had originally planned to go to the movies with Brother Ren, but Gao Bowen's arrival made him lose all interest.
Besides, my sister-in-law is pregnant, and Brother Ren must be worried about her being alone at home.
Lu Hai curled his lips when he thought of Gao Bowen. He knew that Brother Ren and Sister-in-law didn't like his wife, but he still had the audacity to come here.
Last time, things got so bad that if he had apologized sincerely, it would have been fine. But look at the way he was just now, he was almost angry. I don’t know where he got the confidence from.
Lu Hai looked down on Gao Bowen in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. No matter what others said, he would definitely stand on Brother Ren's side.
"Okay." Ningxia said they had never been to Lu Hai's house. He had helped their family a lot out of gratitude to Ren Jingxiao. Lu Hai's mother also helped them a lot behind the scenes.
It is reasonable for them to go to his house and take a look. Just look at the relationship between Ren Jingxiao and Lu Hai. They will spend a lot of time together in the future!
"Then let's go?" Lu Hai was very happy after hearing Ningxia's words.
Ren Jingxiao supported Ningxia and went to the Ministry of Transport’s staff quarters with Lu Hai, who was chattering all the way.
"Brother Ren?" As soon as I entered the door of the family compound, I heard a voice with a hint of surprise.
Ningxia looked up and recognized the man as Fu Erwa, but the patched clothes on his clothes during the New Year made it clear that he was not having a good time.
"Yeah." Ren Jingxiao also frowned and recognized who he was. He greeted him and was about to move forward.
"Brother Ren, I was planning to go to your house to wish you a happy new year later!" Fu Erwa was very excited to see Ren Jingxiao, and his face, which was full of sorrow, was now full of joy.
"We came here to wish the minister a happy new year." Compared to his happiness, Ren Jingxiao was much more polite and distant.
"Then Brother Ren, you have to wait for a while. There are quite a lot of people at Minister Zheng's house! Why don't you go to my house and sit for a while first?" After hearing what Ren Jingxiao said, Fu Erwa smiled and invited them to his house.
"Let's talk about it later. Lu Hai and I agreed to go to his house to visit. Auntie is waiting at home!"
Ren Jingxiao actually didn't want to go to his house. Not only was he not familiar with them, but he always felt a little uncomfortable around him and Song Dagen.
He also knew that everyone in the family compound would go to Minister Zheng's house first to pay New Year's greetings. There must be a lot of people at Minister Zheng's house now, so he should go there first after visiting Lu Hai's house.
"Okay, then why don't you come to my house after you visit Comrade Lu's house?" Fu Erwa knew from Ren Jingxiao's words that he was not used to dealing with outsiders.
He thanked him for saving his life, but he also knew what kind of person Ren was.
Ren Jingxiao didn't say okay or not. He just nodded to Fu Erwa and helped Ningxia walk away. As for Lu Hai, he didn't say a word from beginning to end.
During this period, everyone in the family compound was watching the affairs of the Fu and Song families like a show. He also felt that it would be better for Brother Ren not to get too close to these two families. After all, those two families were very difficult to deal with.
I used to have some dignity, but now life is hard, so what about dignity? As long as I am alive, that is more important than anything else. I don’t know who is right or wrong.
When Ren Jingxiao and Ningxia arrived at Lu Hai's house, Lu Hai's mother was standing at the door chatting with a group of people. It was not until Lu Hai walked up to her and shouted a few times that she came to her senses and her son came back.
"You little brat, just come back. Why are you yelling?" Lu Hai's mother was chatting happily when she was startled by Lu Hai. As she spoke, she reached out and slapped him hard.
"Mom, Brother Ren and his wife are here." Lu Hai rubbed his arm and pulled his mother out of the crowd.
"Hey, you little brat, who did you say was coming?" Lu Hai's mother wanted to curse a few more times, but she was attracted by Lu Hai's words and hurriedly looked towards her door.
Sure enough, there were two people standing there. Lu Hainiang looked at the girl who was so beautiful even with her big belly. There was another person standing beside her who was obviously very strong, but was also very careful to protect the person next to him.
The cold air around them was mixed with warmth, and Lu Hainiang smiled. Based on the way she had judged people for most of her life, it was inevitable that her brat would follow someone like him.
"Hello, auntie." Ningxia looked at the person who had twisted Lu Hai's arm just now and saw that he was smiling at them.
That look of sincerity didn't seem fake, Ningxia sighed in her heart, no wonder Lu Hai was so smart.
He has no father, no brothers or sisters, and only a widowed mother at home. Logically speaking, even if he didn't feel inferior, he would definitely not be as smart and decisive as he is now, like a little sun.
Even someone like Ren Jingxiao, who had been betrayed, gradually accepted him. It seems that Mother Lu played an indispensable role.
"Hey, you little brat didn't tell me in advance. In fact, I have wanted to see you for a long time." Mother Lu complained about Lu Hai while opening the door.
When she saw Ren Jingxiao and Ningxia, there was no hint of flattery or admiration in her eyes.
"Come in quickly, girl." Looking at Ningxia's big belly, Mother Lu opened the door and brought over a stool. She then turned around and went into the house to pour a bowl of sugar water for Ningxia and Ren Jingxiao.
"Aunt, please stop working. Lu Hai has helped us a lot. Logically, we should have come to visit him a long time ago. But we have been busy, so we took advantage of the New Year to come and sit with us."
Ningxia spoke politely. She did not mention the help Ren Jingxiao gave to Lu Hai, but only said that Lu Hai helped Ren Jingxiao.
This was to give them face, and she was also afraid that their family would keep expressing gratitude. She quite liked Lu's mother's personality.
"It's a blessing for that brat to be able to help you." Mother Lu understood what Ningxia meant, and she was indeed very grateful to the couple.
She had always heard Lu Hai talk about how good the couple was and how his brother Ren treated him, so she was afraid that the brat would act recklessly and offend others.
Mother Lu has seen everything in her life. When she was young, she worked as a maid in a wealthy family for a period of time.
Later, the country was in chaos, and no matter how big the family property was, it could not be preserved. The family she served at that time was displaced, and they may not be better off now than she is!
She was open-minded. Having lost her husband at an early age, she only had this one son in her life. She just wanted her son to live well and have one or two grandchildren so that she would die without regrets.
When she first heard Ren Jingxiao's name from Lu Hai, she had secretly inquired about it. Knowing that he had some background, she was not afraid of him.
After what happened later, she just felt that this young man was reliable.
