The old lady of the Zhou family finished her story, and the tea party was drawing to a close. Everyone came to greet and say goodbye to the old lady of the Zhou family. Some wanted to ask her for business advice, but she dismissed them all with the excuse that "today we are just having afternoon tea, not talking about anything else."
Li Xi wanted to chat with the old lady of the Zhou family for a few more words, so she stayed until the end. Su Yu naturally followed Li Xi's footsteps.
As the host, even if she was very old and had a lot of experience, she still had to get up and see her off. After Mrs. Zhou saw off the last guest, she turned around and saw Li Xi and Su Yu sitting on the sofa like two little quails, waiting for her. They didn't even offer to chat or eat, just staring at her eagerly.
The old lady of the Zhou family, who had no biological children of her own, had always been rather indulgent towards the children of her relatives. Seeing Li Xi and Su Yu so well-behaved and pretty, her heart seemed to melt. She couldn't hide the smile on her face.
"Why? Can't bear to leave grandma's house for tea and snacks."
"Hehe, I still want to hear grandma tell stories." In front of the elders, Li Xi unconsciously softened her tone, "Of course, grandma's snacks are delicious too, sweet but not greasy, fragrant but not oily, crispy but not sloppy, and you never get tired of them and can't stop eating them."
The old lady from the Zhou family gave Li Xi a reproachful look, as if she was disgusted. "You're the only one who can talk. You're almost blowing your own trumpet to the sky."
"No way, it's delicious to begin with. I just exaggerated a little bit." Li Xi stretched out her hand, put her thumb and index finger together and raised it in front of her eyes. She squinted one eye as if she was looking at nearby words with presbyopia, and moved her hand outward little by little.
This caused Mrs. Zhou and Su Yu to burst into laughter.
"Since you like it, bring some back for your family when you go back." This family member was obviously referring to Luo Jingxuan. According to the story the old lady from the Zhou family had just told her, she knew exactly what the relationship was between the Li family, the Jing family, and Li Xi. Naturally, she wouldn't assume that Li Xi's relationship with the Li family was close enough to bring back souvenirs. Furthermore, given the old lady's past tactics, it wouldn't be easy for her to understand Li Xi's current situation.
From the moment they met, Li Xi knew that at least half of the purpose of this tea party was her. Furthermore, the Zhou family's old lady must have done a thorough investigation before inviting her. She knew of her situation over the years, that the Li family had sold her out for money, and that, despite the inexplicable beginning of Li Xi's marriage to Luo Jingxuan, they actually got along well.
So Li Xi readily agreed, "Okay. I'll thank you on his behalf~"
"Xiao Luo is a good young man. You should get along well with him. If you can get along, then live together. If you can't, then break up. If you can't be husband and wife, you can be friends." The old lady of the Zhou family said earnestly.
Li Xi nodded slightly to show that she understood.
Su Yu, standing by, was somewhat bewildered. With his eyes wide open, he stared at Li Xi, seemingly intent on staring a hole through him. However, due to the presence of the elders, he couldn't ask any questions and could only hold back and unleash his ultimate move later.
Being stared at so intensely by Su Yu, it was impossible for Li Xi to say that she didn't feel anything. But it was not a good idea to say anything to Su Yu right now. The elders were still advising the younger generation on how to get along with each other. It would be good enough if she could just get a glance from Su Yu for a moment. It was inappropriate, absolutely inappropriate, to talk to her about Luo Jingxuan.
The Zhou family's grandmother observed the exchange of glances between the two juniors, dismissing it as a child's naturally lively nature, full of ideas. It was difficult to retort or interrupt when their elders were speaking, so they could only communicate through eye contact. Normally, the Zhou family's juniors were more respectful than approachable towards her, so she found this scene quite amusing.
Intent on teasing the two younger generations, the Zhou family's old lady deliberately put on a stern face, "Why? Do you disagree with my ideas? Do you think I'm too talkative and unreasonable?"
"No, no, no." Li Xi shook her head like a rattle. "I think you're right. Luo Jingxuan is indeed a very good person. He's very suitable to be a friend and a good partner."
"Not suitable to be a husband?" Mrs. Zhou looked at Li Xi and teased, "Isn't he suitable?"
"..." After hearing the first sentence, Li Xi was still thinking about how to answer. After hearing the second sentence, Li Xi's face turned red. What the hell is going on? "Grandma, I'm still young!"
"Don't you have any?" The old lady of the Zhou family had a look of surprise on her face, which didn't seem fake at all. It seemed that the old lady of the Zhou family wasn't that capable yet, or she didn't want to dig into such private matters, and didn't know that Li Xi and Luo Jingxuan still slept in separate rooms.
"No." Li Xi stammered.
Su Yu, standing by, was determined to act like a child who couldn't understand what adults were saying. But the old naughty girl, Mrs. Zhou, had no intention of letting her go.
"Where's Xiaoyu? Does Xiaoyu have a boyfriend?"
"Huh?" Su Yu couldn't contain her surprise when she was suddenly called out. When she understood what the old lady from the Zhou family was asking, her face flushed like Li Xi's. "No, I've been so busy lately. I don't have time for a relationship."
"Haha, young people should definitely have a few relationships. A lifelong relationship is great, of course, but not everyone meets the right person at the right time. Most people meet the right person at the wrong time, or the wrong person at the right time. A relationship that lasts until old age is something you can only encounter by chance. So, while you're young, have a few relationships until you meet the one you'll spend your life with. Of course, I'm not encouraging you to fall in love just for the sake of falling in love, but if you meet someone you like, pursue them, try to attract them, even if it means changing yourself. Just like me, once I confirmed my feelings for Mr. Zhou, I pursued him passionately, confessing my feelings, giving him gifts, and going on dates. Although I sometimes had to compromise a little to accommodate him, overall, that time was very sweet."
