Chapter 185 They are left alone
"Yunwei, what a coincidence! The old lady and I happened to be taking a walk here and ran into Teacher Yin, who tutors our twins. We were planning to have dinner together! Do you want to join us?"
Xia Fangfei smiled and stood aside to make room for the so-called Teacher Yin.
The young man wearing glasses nodded at Zhu Yunwei.
Zhu Yunying nodded politely but did not say anything.
Zeng Xiaoqin couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
She couldn't be rude to Xia Fangfei, but her grandmother could still persuade her.
"Grandma, it's a teacher appreciation banquet, why are you joining in the fun? Come on, let's go with my sister-in-law!"
Old Madam Feng also waved to Xia Fangfei and Zhu Yunying, "Yunying, although you call me Teacher Xiao Yin, he's the older brother of Aunt Xia's twins' schoolmate. He's going to be a military doctor this year. I'm here to help with his lessons during the holidays."
"So what? The tutoring is for their family, what does it have to do with my sister-in-law?"
If Zeng Xiaoqin didn't step forward at this time, they would probably have to go on a blind date standing at the door of the hotel.
"Sister-in-law does have a request for the Xia family, but anyone who knows how to repay a favor wouldn't take the opportunity to make a request, right? First, you asked sister-in-law to accompany Xia Jun, who is already old and single, for lunch, and now you want sister-in-law to pay for your family's teacher appreciation banquet tonight? The Xia family is so calculating that they're almost hitting my face!"
“…”
Zeng Xiaoqin certainly knew that this military doctor Yin who was about to join the army was another person that her grandmother and Xia Fangfei had arranged for a blind date with her sister-in-law!
She deliberately spoke ambiguously and did not break the last layer of window paper, just to save face for both families!
If Xia Fangfei continued to act like a fool with her grandmother, she would really get angry!
It’s so bullying!
"What nonsense are you talking about, kid? Why would Yun Ying pay? We just happened to meet Teacher Yin, and seeing you guys, we kindly invited you to have dinner together!"
Old Mrs. Feng glanced at her granddaughter with some anger, and twitched the corner of her mouth, telling her to shut up.
But Zeng Xiaoqin, already in battle attire, said sarcastically, "Who knows if you'll drag me away midway, leaving them all alone..."
"Zeng Xiaoqin! You really are... Go home now and stop causing trouble!"
When Mrs. Feng heard her words, she felt that they touched a sore spot. She was so angry that she shouted at her to leave.
"Stop talking." Zhu Yunying held back Zeng Xiaoqin, who was about to argue, and introduced them softly, "Grandma Feng, Aunt Xia, we've already made an appointment. It's not convenient for us to have dinner together."
"Are you talking about Jun? I just went to the garment factory. He was busy working overtime. He was worried that you would be waiting anxiously, so he asked me to bring the letter of explanation over first."
Xia Fangfei took out the envelope and held it in her hand, still saying, "We're already at the door. Let's eat together."
"You are too bullying..."
Zeng Xiaoqin wanted to speak up for Zhu Yunying, but Zhu Yunying stopped her and smiled at them, "Since you're here, let's have dinner together. Originally, I was going to treat Director Xia tonight to thank him for helping me write the cover letter. It's agreed that today's my treat!"
As she spoke, she took Zeng Xiaoqin and left the restaurant first.
The tables in this restaurant are very small and can only accommodate four people at most. The chairs are fixed and cannot be moved.
"Grandma, have you lost something again? Do you want Aunt Xia to accompany you to look for it?"
Zeng Xiaoqin snorted angrily. She was furious when she heard from her sister-in-law that her grandmother had escaped in such a crude way.
Old Mrs. Feng clicked her tongue again, pulled her down, and sat with her.
"Since there's no more room, let's sit together, young people. Teacher Yin, Yun Ying is from Haicheng. She used to be a librarian. You should all know Director Jiang."
After Xia Fangfei mentioned it, Teacher Yin finally spoke to Zhu Yunying.
"So that's how it is! Director Jiang was also my mentor. After he went to Haicheng, we kept in touch through letters. How has he been lately?"
As the man spoke, he guided Zhu Yunying to sit at the table next to him.
Zhu Yunying took a glance and saw that there was a screen between the two tables.
She frowned, but since she hadn't received the letter of explanation yet, she could only sit down for the time being and go on another "blind date".
"I'm sorry, I've been away from Haicheng for several months, so I don't know much about Director Jiang's recent situation."
Zhu Yunying had never heard Director Jiang mention students from Beijing, she only heard him praise Xiao Wu.
The man in front of her seemed calm, but the eyes hidden behind the lenses were always looking at her.
It felt like the tongue of a poisonous snake, wet, sticky and creepy.
Just now at the door, in front of Old Madam Feng and Xia Fangfei, he didn't do this. Now he is doing it so openly, which makes people feel even more disgusted.
Zhu Yunying rarely uses such sharp labels when meeting someone for the first time, so at this moment she can only bring up Feng Shuo.
"After all, it's not very convenient to contact the outside world since we're with the army in the compound."
"Well, I heard from Sister Xia that you were married to Feng Shuo before? He wasn't easy to get along with, was he? He was old-fashioned and too serious..."
"Teacher Yin, I'm also married to Feng Shuo. What you said is not appropriate."
"Sorry, I thought you wanted to divorce him." Teacher Yin's mouth curled up into a smile.
The dishes on the table were served one after another, but Zhu Yunying did not pick up her chopsticks, hesitating about how to find an excuse to leave.
At this moment, a clear voice rang out from behind the screen: "Aunt, where is Yun Yao? Did you give her the letter of explanation?"
Xia Jun is here!
Oh my God, Zhu Yunyao never thought that she would be so excited because of Xia Jun's appearance.
She stood up, ignoring the expression of the man surnamed Yin across the table, and quickly walked behind the screen. She said to Xia Jun, "Director Xia, are you done? The letter is still with my aunt. I guess she wants to wait until after dinner before giving it to me."
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Xia Fangfei's face, and she took out the letter from her pocket.
Xia Jun frowned, followed the direction Zhu Yunying walked out, looked at the screen, and pressed the corners of his lips.
He took the letter and handed it to Zhu Yunwei: "Keep it for now. I'm afraid you'll forget it later."
"Thank you." Zhu Yunying took it with both hands and breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone at the table turned their eyes to her.
I guess I’m waiting to see if she will sit back behind the screen and continue her “blind date”.
Just as Old Lady Feng was about to speak, Zhu Yunying said, "I got a little excited when I heard Director Xia's voice and spilled some soup on my clothes. I'll go borrow a rag from the waiter."
After saying that, Zhu Yunying turned around and left the hall.
When Xia Jun saw her walking away, he deliberately retracted his arms to keep a distance from her, and his brows furrowed even more tightly.
He looked at Xia Fangfei and said in a serious tone, "Aunt, what did you do again?"
Xia Fangfei avoided his gaze and curled her lips: "It's because you are useless! People look down on you, and I have to keep my promise. I can only find someone else..."
Xia Jun wanted to say something but stopped himself and could only hold his forehead.
Zeng Xiaoqin, who was standing by, couldn't stand it anymore.
She stood up and chased after him.
Behind him, Old Lady Feng was still shouting, "What are you doing?!"
But Zeng Xiaoqin didn't stop.
Xia Jun raised his foot and walked behind the screen, only to see the banknotes on the table.
I don’t know when Teacher Yin left!
Xia Jun sighed, turned around and looked at his aunt, then looked at Old Lady Feng: "Grandma Feng, I'm afraid we all misunderstood. Yun Ying likes Feng Shuo, and the reason she wants a divorce is that Feng Shuo... doesn't have much affection for her. We're pushing her to go on blind dates like this, and you're Feng Shuo's grandmother..."
Old Mrs. Feng blinked blankly, covered her chest with her hands, and exclaimed, "Oh, did I, an old woman, mean well but end up doing something bad?"
