"This is truly fate, Xiaotian, your daughter actually became my grandson's wife. Haha, I'm so happy today."
"Come, come, girl, come here to grandpa and let me take a good look at you."
Lan Xiaolan staggered a few steps towards Ren Boxun.
Ren Boxun put on his reading glasses and took a good look at his new granddaughter-in-law's face.
"Oh, oh, oh. Old Mrs. Bai, come and look, this girl is so pretty, she looks exactly like your daughter Ruozhu."
This is her own daughter, born to her own daughter. How could she not miss her?
Old Mrs. Bai snorted coldly and did not answer. She glanced at Lan Xiaolan and Lan Tian.
Both parents lowered their eyes and remained silent. Since childhood, Lan Xiaolan knew that the Bai family did not recognize her and her daughter. In front of outsiders, especially now in front of Ren Tingxi's elders, it seemed that their affairs with the Bai family should not be made public.
"Hello, Grandpa. Hello, Old Mrs. Bai."
“These are my parents.”
Lan Xiaolan glanced at Ren Tingxi and didn't dare to speak.
She didn't even know what kind of address she should use now.
Ren Tingxi still held her hand tightly, looking at Lan Xiaolan with his charming eyelids fluttering.
"It's okay, go ahead."
"Hello, Dad and Mom."
Some people, like Mr. Ren, enjoy hearing this title as much as a hibiscus blooming.
Some people, after hearing this, felt as uneasy as if their hearts were floating like duckweed and were unwilling to go up and become the lady.
"Good boy, Tingxi has good taste. She looks like a lady from a noble family, a dignified girl."
Aren’t these the words people used to describe Bai Ruozhu in the past?
Madam Ren snorted coldly, crossed her arms over her chest, glared at Master Ren fiercely, and said angrily: "We haven't even formally invited guests to the wedding ceremony with Tingxi yet, and you're already calling me mom. You shouldn't be too tactful."
"Mom is absolutely right."
"Xiao Lan and I have been married for more than two years. Before, she was studying for a doctorate and working in Country E, so she didn't come back. I didn't formally propose to the Lan family."
"It's been really busy since I came back to China, so I've been delayed time and time again."
"Xiaolan was worried that I was busy with work, so she never mentioned this matter. Now, it's all my fault."
"I've already prepared the betrothal gifts for Xiaolan. We're just waiting for Grandpa to choose a good date. We'll propose to the Lan family and then pick a good date for the wedding."
"So, I have given you an explanation. I wonder what you think."
"You have explained to everyone, but it seems that we cannot explain to the Ling family."
"Let's not mention those irrelevant outsiders." Ren Boxun frowned and glared at his daughter-in-law seriously.
The hot ball passed Mrs. Ren and was thrown directly to Ren Boxun. Ren Boxun still agreed and smiled excitedly.
Mr. Ren and Lan Tian were naturally satisfied with this in-law relationship, and the family even raised their glasses and drank a glass of wine happily.
Since both her father-in-law and husband had expressed their opinions, Mrs. Ren didn't dare to say anything more.
"These are my brother and sister-in-law, Ren Tingyi and Dai Yuecheng."
"Hello, big brother." Lan Xiaolan often heard Ren Tingxi mention his big brother, and knew that his big brother loved him like a father.
For example, the fact that E country pursued her was something that his eldest brother strongly approved of. Presumably, Ren Tingyi did not hate him, so it was reasonable for him to call him eldest brother.
As for Dai Yuecheng, Lan Xiaolan had seen him in the library shortly after she returned to China.
Thinking that Dai Yuecheng had sent people to follow him at that time, he was quite afraid of her, and for a moment he didn't know how to address her.
"Hello, Mr. Dai."
The two words "Mr. Dai" immediately revealed the closeness of the relationship.
"Don't call me sister-in-law like that. It sounds strange. Call me Yuecheng or sister-in-law. We are all family."
Lan Xiaolan smiled and nodded, "Hello, sister-in-law."
There was also Bai Qiaosong sitting in the corner of the table. Ren Tingxi was not familiar with him and didn't know how to introduce him for a moment.
Seeing Ren Tingxi's sharp gaze sweeping over him, Bai Qiaosong immediately stood up like a child who had done something wrong, and waved awkwardly at Lan Xiaolan.
"Biao..." As soon as the word came to his lips, Mrs. Bai glared at him fiercely, asking him to think it over before calling out.
"Bai, I said my last name is Bai, sister... hello sister."
Lan Xiaolan burst out laughing.
Bai Qiaosong is her cousin, of course she knew that they had fought in front of their mother's grave. Seeing him so embarrassed and anxious, Lan Xiaolan thought he was cute and funny.
"Now that everyone has been introduced and we all know each other, why not sit down and have dinner?"
"My stomach has been growling with hunger." Ren Boxun waved his hand and asked someone to serve the food.
The pre-meal introduction left everyone present with mixed emotions.
Everyone moved their seats because Ren Tingxi wanted to sit next to Lan Xiaolan.
In such an occasion, which seemed like a large-scale Hongmen Banquet, he sitting next to Lan Xiaolan could make her feel more at ease.
The dishes were served one after another, including Dongpo pork, West Lake vinegar fish, crab meat lion head, clear soup Yue chicken, Shili ginkgo, Feilong soup, clear soup bird's nest, braised shark's fin, and Eight Treasures Crossing the Sea.
Each of these dishes was a labor-intensive one, and Bai Qiaosong was dazzled by the servants serving them.
Think about it, he and Ren Boxun usually live in a villa, and eat clear soup and vegetarian dishes for every meal. What kind of nonsense is that?
