"Mr. Xie is so polite! It's just a small favor, why does it require such an expensive gift? I feel embarrassed."
As he spoke, the smile on his face grew wider, and his eyes almost narrowed into slits.
Xie Jingsui said proudly, "It's okay. I have a lot of these at home. I used them as toys when I was a kid."
Ah, this...
Lu Zhining's mouth twitched fiercely. There was no need to show off wealth like that.
I thought the blind date location would be a restaurant or a café, but unexpectedly, Xie Jingsui took her home directly.
That’s right, I’m going home, back to Xie Jingsui’s home!
Looking at the tall and majestic courtyard wall and the magnificent Chinese-style gate in front of me, the three big characters "Xie Mansion" are engraved on the gate plaque.
Lu Zhining swallowed his saliva and suddenly felt like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
Seeing her expression, Xie Jingsui was very satisfied, "My father likes Chinese-style architecture and bought the land specifically for the construction.
"How big is your house?"
Xie Jingsui thought for a moment, "Including the green belts and gardens...it's probably just over a thousand acres."
hiss--
She really did not have enough experience. She used to think that novelists exaggerated the descriptions of wealthy families too much, but now she felt that no, that was not exaggerated enough.
Soon a servant came out to open the door, and when he saw Xie Jingsui, he greeted him respectfully: "Young Master is back, the guest has been waiting for a long time."
Xie Jingsui nodded, "Miss Lu, please come in."
Lu Zhining couldn't help but glance at the two stone lions at the door. "I see your stone lions are quite old. Why don't you move them and let me sit on them instead?"
Xie Jingsui stared at her meaningfully, and Lu Zhining felt a little uneasy at his look.
"Don't look at me like that, I'm scared."
"Teacher Lu, the stone lions guarding the gate are supposed to be in pairs. You need to find yourself a boyfriend first."
grass!
Lu Zhining gritted his teeth, it was so heartbreaking.
The servant couldn't help coughing and tried hard to suppress his laughter: "Is this the young master's guest?"
"Um."
Lu Zhining smiled sweetly, "Hello, my name is Lu Zhining."
"Is Miss Lu the savior that the young master invited back?"
What does this mean?
Lu Zhining looked at Xie Jingsui.
Xie Jingsui coughed and began to explain: "My mother is not satisfied with this blind date."
"Didn't your mother's friend introduce you?"
"Well, it's hard to refuse such a kind offer." Xie Jingsui's handsome face was full of helplessness. "Let me find a way to get rid of it myself."
Lu Zhining understood, she was the solution.
Damn it, it’s all because pigeon eggs are so attractive.
"Alright, I'm a very contract-abiding person." Lu Zhining patted his chest. "Don't worry, Mr. Xie. I promise that your blind date will never dare to come to your house again."
Xie Jingsui pursed his lips, still showing a sad expression, "What a pity! If I had a girlfriend, I wouldn't have to trouble Teacher Lu."
"Then why don't you just date that blind date? It can't be because he's ugly, right?"
Xie Jingsui shook his head, "The foreign student is quite pretty."
"and you……"
"Teacher Lu understood it quickly."
Walking around the winding bluestone road, Lu Zhining sighed as she walked, wondering how this was different from the mansions of princes and nobles she had seen in costume dramas.
Look at this pond, look at this mountain, and then look at this main house!
She felt like she was the real-life version of Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
"Miss Lu, come with me first."
Xie Jingsui stepped over the threshold with his long legs. The servant smiled at Lu Zhining and pointed in another direction.
Lu Zhining quickly glanced at the scene behind the gate. With her limited education, she could only describe it as "spectacular, luxurious and extravagant".
The servant took her directly to another door and said, "Miss Lu, please go in."
This should be the side door of the living room, connected to a long corridor, at the end of which is an antique pavilion.
She originally thought that it would be boring for the ladies of noble families in ancient times to never go out of the house, but now she knows.
It's a lot of fun there, I'm not bored at all, I can spend most of the day just walking around my house.
"This is Miss Lu Zhining. She looks even prettier in person than on TV."
As soon as I stepped over the threshold, a gentle and mature female voice suddenly rang out.
Lu Zhining raised her eyes and saw an elegant and dignified lady in cheongsam walking towards her.
The noble lady had her hair tied up with a jade hairpin inserted diagonally, and she had willow-shaped eyebrows and cherry lips, a true ancient beauty.
She is so beautiful even in middle age, I can’t imagine how stunning her looks must have been when she was young!
"Hello, sister."
Lu Zhining greeted him in a sweet voice.
The noble lady smiled with her eyebrows curved. "What sister? You should call me aunt. Let me introduce myself first. I am Zhang Wenqing, Xie Jingsui's mother."
She is actually Xie Jingsui’s mother?
If you look closely, you can see that their eyebrows and eyes are indeed somewhat similar.
only……
Isn't this inappropriate? Her biological mother is still here, and Xie Jingsui openly brought her home just to ruin the blind date?
Seeing Lu Zhining looking at him openly, Zhang Wenqing didn't get angry. Instead, he pulled her to sit down and said, "I watched the variety show 'Single'. Xiaoyan also praised your good personality after she came back."
Xiaoyan should be Pei Jing's mother Xie Yan.
Lu Zhining smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment."
"I love your little mouth the most. Jing Sui is also a sharp-tongued person. Even his father can't talk him down. Only you can cure him."
Ahem, that’s what I said.
Lu Zhining scratched his head, "Auntie, is Mr. Xie going on a blind date at home?"
Zhang Wenqing nodded. "Yes, my poker friend, her husband's company has some cooperation with our company. Look, I heard that Jing Sui was so eager to find a partner that he even appeared on a dating show. Someone insisted on introducing her best friend's daughter to Jing Sui."
"Auntie, you want a daughter-in-law too, right?"
Xie Jingsui is almost 30 years old, and as a mother, she definitely hopes that her son will get married soon.
Zhang Wenqing smiled and replied, "Of course. It's boring to stay at home all day. I also want Jing Sui and his future wife to have a child for me to take care of."
Lu Zhining pouted, "Then this time it can be solved. A friend introduced me to someone who knows me well."
"I'm anxious, but I support Jing Sui more."
Lu Zhining hesitated for a moment, "Auntie, do you know why I'm here?"
Zhang Wenqing's smile remained dignified and proper: "I know, you're here to ruin this blind date."
“…”
So, is it appropriate for you to still hold my hand?
Shouldn't you have slapped me or thrown me a check to get me away from your son?
"That girl has a bad character. Miss Lu, come with me. You can find a good time to go there."
Zhang Wenqing pulled Lu Zhining around the screen and the two came to the side of the living room, where there was half a wall separating them. Unless they made some noise, it would be difficult for people in the living room to notice their presence.
"Brother Jingsui, I saw you at your eighteen-year-old coming-of-age ceremony."
Lu Zhining quietly poked her head out. She was a girl dressed like a Barbie doll.
A pink suit, golden wavy hair, and an exaggerated bow on her head.
