Chapter 281 Prospective Daughter-in-Law
This is a great and bold idea.
However, Xie Chaolang still had to remind his wife, "Qinglan has joined the project team, so she'll be staying in the dormitory there these days and won't be staying overnight here."
Ji Xueru knew this, of course, but she couldn't help but fantasize about it.
“Lanlan will be twenty-seven or twenty-eight when he finishes his doctorate. That age isn’t considered old for a boy, but given how picky he is, he might not be able to find a girlfriend until he’s in his thirties. Even if he’s lucky enough to find a suitable one, he’ll have to date for at least two or three years to see how things go. By the time he gets married, he’ll be thirty-three or thirty-four, and by the time the baby is born, he might be thirty-six or thirty-seven. By then, I’ll be almost seventy!”
“I don’t want to be a grandmother at seventy. Lanlan finally found someone she likes, so as her mother, I have to keep a close eye on him.”
Ji Xueru was muttering to herself at the door, while Huo Huaisui was inside, as anxious as a grasshopper on a hot plate, completely unable to think about winning the lottery.
She called Xie Qinglan several times, but no one answered.
What a big liar!
Huo Huai Sui thought angrily that she would never trust that big liar again.
The person was already outside the door, so they obviously knew she was there. Huo Huai Sui couldn't keep pretending to be dead forever.
Huo Huaisui quickly sent Lu Fengqing his location and an SOS message, put away his phone, took a deep breath, and opened the door.
-
Lu Fengqing was strolling around the mansion when she suddenly received a message from Huo Huaisui, leaving her completely bewildered.
[Lu Fengqing: What's wrong?]
Huo Huaisui did not reply.
Lu Fengqing called her directly.
Fortunately, the call was answered.
"What's wrong?" Lu Fengqing asked.
Huo Huai Sui's voice, which sounded like a mix of laughter and tears, came through the receiver: "Niannian. Help!"
A woman's voice could be faintly heard from the other end.
Lu Fengqing wanted to ask more, but Huo Huaisui had already hung up the phone.
"Madam?" After learning that Lu Fengqing and Gu Suixing had registered their marriage, Secretary Liu changed his address.
"I have to go back first." Lu Fengqing waved the documents in her hand at Bi Ping. "I'm taking these with me."
Bi Ping said respectfully, "Yes, madam. Take care."
Lu Fengqing drove Secretary Liu back to the city and then drove to the location sent by Huo Huaisui.
Since no one was a resident of the community, no one could enter without her escort. Lu Fengqing parked her car on the side of the road and sent a message to Huo Huaisui to let her know that she had arrived.
[SuiSui: Okay!!!]
Lu Fengqing waited at the entrance of the residential area for more than ten minutes before she saw Huo Huaisui come out.
She didn't come out alone; she was holding a woman's arm, and a man with a blank expression followed behind her.
"..."
Having met them several times, Lu Fengqing naturally recognized the two.
That man's second brother and sister-in-law.
They are also the parents of Huo Huai Sui's ex-boyfriend.
That's not the point. The point is, how come that silly girl Huo Huai Sui is with them?
The old woman who had just returned from outside couldn't help but take a second look at Huo Huai Sui when she saw them. "Professor Ji, who is this?"
Ji Xueru: "My daughter-in-law."
Huo Huai Sui: "..." She's not, she really isn't.
The old woman looked surprised. "Qinglan got married?"
Ji Xueru: "Prospective daughter-in-law."
The old woman understood, then looked at Huo Huai Sui and said with a smile, "She's a capable girl."
After chatting for a few minutes, the old woman went inside.
Ji Xueru happily pulled her future daughter-in-law over to greet Lu Fengqing: "Niannian, good afternoon."
Xie Chaolang's expression changed slightly when he saw Lu Fengqing.
Lu Fengqing nodded slightly, "Thank you, Madam Xie, Mr. Xie."
Xie Chaolang's expression darkened.
Ji Xueru's smile remained unchanged as she asked warmly, "Has Niannian had lunch yet? Neither we nor Suisui have eaten. Let's eat together."
Lu Fengqing glanced at Huo Huaisui, who was looking at her expectantly, and said, "...Okay."
Ji Xueru was very enthusiastic and seemed to have endless things to say; the entire meal consisted almost entirely of her talking.
She could speak for herself without Lu Fengqing and Huo Huaisui needing to agree.
Moreover, they were very tactful, not mentioning marriage, children, or family reunions, but only chatting about interesting things happening around them, fashion tips, makeup techniques, and skincare experiences—in short, topics that were all between women…more like a conversation between ordinary friends.
After finishing her meal, Ji Xueru suddenly remembered something and let out a soft "ah".
"Old Xie, where's my phone? Quickly, bring me my phone."
Her phone was in her bag, which was right next to her, but Xie Chaolang still cooperated by taking the phone out of his bag and handing it to her.
Ji Xueru smiled and took the phone. "On the way here, I saw someone in the group say that Lao San's company was holding a retweet lottery on Weibo, so I went to try my luck."
After fiddling with her phone, she enthusiastically invited Huo Huai Sui: "Nian Nian is fine, Sui Sui, hurry up and share this on Weibo, you might win a prize."
Lu Fengqing: "..."
Huo Huaisui: "..."
Xie Chaolang said to her, "You are Chaoyin's sister-in-law. If you really get it and people find out, they might say there's something fishy going on."
Ji Xueru thought about it and felt it made sense. "Then I'll forward the messages from the Lu and Gu families. I'm not related to either of them, so is that alright?"
The other three: "..."
Since we've already taken out our phones, how can we skip the step of adding each other on WeChat?
As a result, Ji Xueru successfully added Lu Fengqing and Huo Huaisui on WeChat.
As they left the restaurant and parted, Ji Xueru suddenly hugged Lu Fengqing and said, "Niannian, happy marriage."
Lu Fengqing was taken aback. "...Thank you."
Xie Chaolang wanted to say something, but after opening his mouth, he gave up and finally said only, "If Suixing treats you badly, you can come back to the Xie family and find us anytime."
Lu Fengqing said seriously, "He's fine."
Xie Chaolang looked at his niece and nodded, "That's good."
Watching the couple leave, Huo Huai Sui patted his chest, "Finally gone."
She hadn't expected to be forced to "meet her in-laws" after breaking up with her boyfriend.
Lu Fengqing: "Explain."
Huo Huai Sui smiled guiltily, "Well..."
