Sitting in the Lin family's SUV, Huo Xian looked out at the green hills and clear waters and exclaimed in surprise, "The Fang Lan family really lives in the mountains?"
Lin Ruanruan yawned and replied, "Yeah, I almost fell asleep the first time I came here."
An antique-style mansion appeared before everyone, and Huo Xian's eyes widened. "Wow..."
Lin Ruanruan smiled and linked arms with Huo Xian, "Right, right? I was also surprised when I first saw it. The carved beams and painted rafters, the bricks and tiles on the walls are all antiques, and the arrangement of the rocks and plants inside is extremely exquisite."
Huo Xian nodded in understanding; the Fang Lan family's prestige was truly impressive.
Fang Lan was standing in front of the house waiting for them. After seeing Lin Ruanruan and the other three get out of the car, he warmly led them inside.
Uncle Wang, familiar with the area, went to the parking lot to park his car.
Along the way, Huo Xian and Li Zihao were like country bumpkins visiting the Grand View Garden, finding everything fascinating.
Fang Lan watched the two of them circling the koi in the small pond, both amused and exasperated. "You two are really something else. Ruan Ruan was so calm on her first visit. Your acting is so over-the-top."
Lin Ruanruan sighed, "Actually, I really wanted to do what Xianxian and Zihao did, but I was afraid of embarrassing you, plus my uncle and aunt were with us, so I kept it to myself, okay?"
It's all tears when she talks about it. When she first came to the Fang residence, she didn't dare to look around carelessly, and she was exceptionally dignified in her movements, afraid that her uncle and aunt would dislike her and prevent her from being friends with Fang Lan.
Fang Lan patted Lin Ruanruan's head reassuringly, "You're such a good sister Ruan. My eyes were swollen at the time, and I didn't even notice how uncomfortable you were."
The group quickly arrived at the reception room. As soon as they entered, Huang Min hugged them tightly, saying, "My dear, it's been so long since I've seen you."
Lin Ruanruan smiled and hugged Huang Min back, "Auntie, your cheongsam looks so beautiful today."
Huang Min smiled and pinched Lin Ruanruan's cheek. Fang Guowei also smiled and greeted the others. He stepped forward and rubbed Lin Ruanruan's head, saying, "Just relax and have fun here today."
Lin Ruanruan smiled and agreed. She was led by Huang Min to sit on the rosewood chair. Huo Xian looked at Lin Ruanruan with admiration in his eyes.
Ruan Ruan is so well-behaved at the Fang residence, unlike her casualness at the Huo and Lin families.
Seeing that his mother wanted to get close to Lin Ruanruan, Fang Lan selectively ignored the pleading look Lin Ruanruan was giving him.
He said to Fang Guowei and Huang Min, "Then, Mom and Dad, I'll take my friend to my yard to study first."
Fang Guowei waved to Fang Lan, indicating that he should do as he pleased.
Huang Min nodded reservedly, "Go on, kids, study hard. If you don't understand something, you can ask your teacher directly."
Li Zihao looked at Fang Lan with a puzzled expression. Fang Lan knew what he was wondering about. "My parents have hired a famous tutor at the Fang residence. We can go and pay him a visit later."
Li Zihao looked at Fang Lan with sparkling eyes. Fang Lan was indeed very capable!
So the group followed Fang Lan and left, leaving Lin Ruanruan alone to reminisce with the two parents...
Lin Ruanruan gritted her teeth inwardly. Fang Lan was truly disloyal!
Huang Min chatted with Lin Ruanruan with a smile. Lin Ruanruan listened very attentively, occasionally agreeing and exclaiming in surprise.
Just as Huang Min was having a good time, the butler came over and whispered a few words to her. Huang Min waved her hand and said, "Since you've brought them back, come in."
Huang Min turned her head and saw Lin Ruanruan looking curious. She explained, "It was you who let Brother Si bring his blind date back."
Lin Ruanruan's eyes lit up. Wouldn't that mean she could see Sister Xue'er today?
However, Lin Ruanruan noticed that Huang Min didn't seem very happy. Fang Guowei, who was standing next to her, quickly gave the answer, "Tell me, why did you agree to let her daughter go on a blind date with Asi when you were dissatisfied with Xuanyuan Ruixue's behavior?"
Huang Min stroked the jade bracelet in her hand with a displeased expression. "I was only doing this out of respect for the Xuanyuan family. Who would have thought that Asi would actually fall for Xuanyuan Ruixue's daughter?"
"I wonder what tricks that girl used to make Ah Si take a liking to her."
Just as Huang Min was about to express her dissatisfaction, she felt her hand being grasped by Lin Ruanruan beside her, and she raised an eyebrow at Lin Ruanruan.
Lin Ruanruan quickly put on a sweet smile, soothing Huang Min's inner turmoil. She shook Huang Min's hand, "Auntie, I don't know what kind of conflict you have with Aunt Xuanyuan."
"But I know her daughter, Li Xueer, is a very outstanding girl!"
"Oh?" Huang Min smiled and pinched Lin Ruanruan's soft cheek. "How do you know?"
