Ever since Lu Wenying heard from her brother-in-law about how powerful Mr. Su was, she felt itchy.
The Su family was very powerful before, and he himself was a master of history. He taught many famous students. Many of these students are doing very well now, and some even hold important positions.
She saw her brother-in-law holding wine to toast Mr. Su, but was coldly rejected by Mr. Su. Her brother-in-law did not dare to get angry and still put on a smile.
Lu Wenying had just asked the waiter about the news. Those tables over there were all booked by Ma Xiulan to celebrate the fact that her son, daughter-in-law and daughter had all been admitted to university.
Looking at the admiration in the waiter's eyes, Lu Wenying couldn't help but sigh that Ma Xiulan was indeed lucky to have three such good children.
She could even invite Mr. Su to the banquet, so it seemed she had to reconsider Zhao Xingmin.
Ma Xiulan also noticed Lu Wenying, but she didn't take it seriously. It was a happy day and she was busy entertaining everyone.
Zhao Xingmin also saw it, but she was arranged by Ma Xiulan to take care of Su Shibo and Yao Xinyu. The other relatives were entertained by Ma Xiulan, Zhao Xingguo and Zhou Anan.
Yao Xinyu pulled Zhao Xingmin to ask about Zhou Anan's situation, no matter how big or small.
She also had no energy to think about Lu Wenying and Zhang Jianxun.
In Lu Wenying's eyes, this meant that Mr. Su and Zhao Xingmin had a very good relationship. She was reluctant to leave after the banquet was over, but it would be too abrupt if she didn't leave. So she had no choice but to wait in the corner outside the restaurant, preparing to coax Zhao Xingmin for a while.
Ma Xiulan's side was also over. She sent off her relatives and friends. Seeing Su Shibo and Yao Xinyu still waiting on the side, she hurried over:
"Godfather, godmother, let's take the bus back together."
She had not originally planned to treat the old couple. After all, she was paid to cook for them. The old couple was like her boss. If she treated them, they might ask for gifts, which would be embarrassing for them.
So they didn't invite her, but the old couple took the initiative to mention that they were serious about adopting a goddaughter, and they would definitely come if her child was admitted to university.
They also gave each child a Hero brand pen and gave Ma Xiu Lan a jade bracelet as a gift to recognize her as a daughter. Ma Xiu Lan recognized the old couple as her godparents, but she refused the jade bracelet because she felt unworthy of it.
She had not done anything for the old couple and could not accept such an expensive gift.
Seeing that she was determined not to accept it, the old couple became even more convinced that Ma Xiu Lan had her own principles and was not an ordinary woman.
This time, seeing Zhou Anan at the dinner made the old couple look dazed. This girl looked too much like their deceased daughter-in-law.
That's why she kept asking Zhao Xingmin, but Zhao Xingmin didn't know much, so she stayed until the end and couldn't wait to ask Ma Xiulan if they could go to the hotel box to chat right now, and asked Zhou Anan to go.
Seeing how anxious they were and not knowing what was going on, Ma Xiu Lan gave the money to Xing Min and asked her to count and reconcile the bill with the waiter first. She then accompanied the old couple, Zhou An An and Zhao Xingguo into the private room.
Lu Wenying, who was hiding at the door of the hotel, saw that Zhao Xingmin was alone, so she came up to Zhao Xingmin and smiled awkwardly:
"Xingmin, Auntie said something unpleasant when she went to your house a while ago. Don't take it to heart. When I went back, Jianxun and his father both scolded me. I don't have any bad intentions, I just don't know how to talk. You'll understand after you spend more time with me."
"The last time I bought the cookies, I forgot to open them and check them. I never thought the cooperative would sell me moldy cookies. I feel really bad about it.
Tell your family that I'm going to take you to buy some clothes to apologize, okay?"
Zhao Xingmin refused without thinking. Since Zhang Jianxun already had a blind date, she didn't want to have any more contact with him.
Seeing that Zhao Xingmin still rejected her even though she had lowered herself to this level, Lu Wenying was furious. She thought carefully about what she had said at her house last time, then slapped her head and realized that she had forgotten that she had told Zhao Xingmin that her son had a blind date.
"Oh, it's just my bad luck. Last time I thought I had a future daughter-in-law, but who would have thought that the girl would say she already had someone she liked when we met on a blind date."
"Poor Jianxun has to find a partner again. Oh, Xingmin, if you have a suitable friend, you can introduce him to Auntie. I will arrange for Jianxun to meet him. He is not a child anymore."
As soon as he finished speaking, waves appeared in Zhao Xingmin's originally calm eyes. Lu Wenying smiled smugly in her heart. She didn't believe that after she said so, Zhao Xingmin would not take the initiative to pay attention to her.
Zhao Xingmin lowered his head to hide his inner excitement:
"I don't have any suitable friends to introduce to Auntie, so you should find someone else."
Seeing that Zhao Xingmin was not taking the initiative, Lu Wenying had no choice but to take the initiative herself:
"Auntie thinks you are very good. When is it convenient for you to meet Jianxun?"
Zhao Xingmin felt like her heart was about to jump out. She had gotten the approval of Zhang Jianxun's parents, who wanted to introduce her to Zhang Jianxun!
But she remembered that she had promised her mother to get married after finishing college because she had given up hope in Zhang Jianxun.
She couldn't agree to her mother's request and then regret it, as this would make her mother sad. She had to ask for her mother's consent first, so she had no choice but to speak:
"Auntie, please find a chance to talk to my mom directly about this kind of thing next time."
After dealing with Ma Xiu Lan, Lu Wenying felt that Ma Xiu Lan was very difficult to deal with, and she saw that Ma Xiu Lan did not agree with this marriage, so she did not want to confront Ma Xiu Lan.
I should go back and persuade my son to take down Zhao Xingmin directly. Then Ma Xiulan will have to agree even if she doesn't agree.
Otherwise, I would have to go directly to Ma Xiu Lan and be humble.
"Xingmin, what are you doing?"
Ma Xiu Lan and the others had finished discussing things in the box. When they came out and saw Zhao Xingmin and Lu Wenying talking, they hurried over.
Lu Wenying looked at Ma Xiulan who was coming aggressively, smiled and nodded to the old couple Su behind her, then left quickly.
Zhao Xingmin told Ma Xiulan the truth about what Lu Wenying had said to her, and then looked at her expectantly:
"Mom, if Aunt Lu asked you to meet her for a date, you wouldn't refuse, would you?"
Ma Xiulan was suspicious. It was impossible for Lu Wenying, who was determined to climb up the social ladder and marry a rich daughter-in-law, to change her mind in a short time, unless she thought Xingmin was the rich daughter-in-law.
She remembered that someone at Lu Wenying's table had toasted her godfather just now. It seemed that Lu Wenying thought that her godfather could bring them benefits through Zhao Xingmin.
"Next time we meet, tell her that our family has broken up with your Grandpa Su. If she still insists on meeting you, then I will agree."
Zhao Xingmin's face paled. "Are you saying that Aunt Lu's change of attitude wasn't because I did well in the college entrance exams, but because she wanted to curry favor with Grandpa Su?"
Ma Xiulan nodded relentlessly: "If you don't believe me, try it."
"By the way, let's go to your sister-in-law's house first." The eldest daughter-in-law is very likely the granddaughter of her godfather, so she has to accompany her to find out clearly.
