Auntie comes to visit
the next day.
It was still early in the morning, so Xue Luo opened the shop door.
Of course, the store was still open as usual, but she glanced at the chat on her smart computer with her aunt Xue Manyun that was still going on last night.
"It's already eight o'clock, I wonder if my aunt has left yet?" Xue Luo fed the cat a sausage and drank pure milk, talking to herself.
The white cat, who was eating the sausage with relish, felt that she was a little too nervous. It was just a relative coming over.
At the same time, in the city subway station in Jasmine District, a woman dressed in fashionable retro clothes took off her sunglasses, revealing a bright face like a rose. She exuded an aura that made the men and women on both sides of the aisle couldn't help but take a second look at this woman whose age could not be determined at all.
The woman's slender fingertips were painted black, with a mysterious color like obsidian.
He casually swept open a light screen, and on the screen was the chat box with Xue Luo.
[Grandma: Xueluo, I'm in the Jasmine area.]
Xueluo, who was already worried, immediately replied when she saw the message: [Auntie, do you want me to pick you up?]
[Grandma: I live in the countryside, so I can't read a map, right?]
Xue Luo said embarrassedly: But the last time I came here was three years ago when I attended my mother’s memorial service. Please don’t forget where I live.
She didn't dare to express her feelings, but to be on the safe side, she sent the location address of the small supermarket.
This lady is a real lady, quite aloof. When I received this message from her, I didn't even reply or send an extra emoticon.
"We're on the way!" Xueluo said to the white cat.
Although my aunt didn't say whether she wanted to stay at home or come here for a few days, Xue Luo had already packed up the class time neatly and even ordered a bunch of lilies online.
At this moment, she fell into her old habit again, always feeling that something was not enough, so she let the cat watch the store while she ran around.
Xie Xinghe happened to come to Wu Xu's place to study this morning. When he came to buy Sprite, he saw her looking absent-minded. "Luoluo, what's wrong?"
"My great aunt is coming over."
"Isn't that good?" Xie Xinghe said, "Could it be that she is difficult to get along with?"
Xueluo immediately shook her head, "...I just haven't seen my aunt for a long time...I'm a little nervous."
Xie Xinghe: "...That's not necessary..."
He hadn't finished his words when his eyes suddenly lit up and he stared blankly outside: "Luoluo, such a beautiful lady!"
Xueluo also saw it, and then she saw the tall woman with black gauze shoulder pads and a red velvet long skirt. She looked somewhat similar to her mother in her memory, but her mother had clear and beautiful almond eyes, while the woman in front of her had sharper and upturned phoenix eyes.
“…Auntie!”
The woman raised an eyebrow, as if she had already scanned the store. Her red lips uttered something infuriating: "It does look quite presentable!"
Xie Xinghe on the side was dumbfounded and whispered to Xueluo, "This is your aunt! She's so young!"
Xueluo: "...She is the same age as my mother."
"Auntie, welcome to come and play." Xue Luo quickly ran from the counter to her side and handed her the bunch of beautiful lilies in her hand.
Her eyes sparkled, and her face was filled with a genuine smile. Xue Manyun, who was about to make a few more nitpicks, suddenly said, "Lily of the valley, pure and great love? Xueluo, if you had given me this flower a few years ago, it would have been more appropriate."
It is difficult to change the nature of being sharp-tongued for the time being.
Xue Luo: “…”
On the contrary, Xie Xinghe on the side never took his eyes off her from beginning to end. Even Xue Manyun's disrespectful words turned into a beautiful woman's temper in his eyes.
"Aunt, what kind of flowers do you like? I will buy you the ones you like next time." Xue Luo didn't think too much about it, nor was she unhappy. She had no relatives in her previous life, and in this life, she finally had a relative to visit her. This feeling was quite fresh.
I was a little bit drunk for a while.
Tsundere people are most afraid of direct shots. Xue Luo's direct shot made Xue Manyun speechless for a moment, and then her eyes fell on Xie Xinghe, a passerby holding a can of Sprite in his hand, as if asking who this was.
Xie Xinghe was looked at by her, and he introduced himself a little excitedly: "Miss Xue, I am Xue Luo's friend, Xie Xinghe, the brilliant Xinghe!"
"Friends?" Xue Manyun frowned. "What kind of friends?"
Everyone looked at Xie Xinghe with a critical look in their eyes.
Xueluo: "...just ordinary friends! Auntie, do you still remember Uncle Wu next door? Xinghe is studying with Uncle Wu now."
"Oh." A rather cold voice.
"Wu Xu's little apprentice." Xue Manyun was not very interested, and her eyes were wandering over the various snacks in the store.
"Did you develop all these snacks?"
Xue Luo felt a little guilty, but for convenience, the system was registered under her name, so she agreed reluctantly at this time.
Xue Manyun walked closer to the shelf and looked at it quite seriously, changing direction and position from time to time. It seemed that she was planning to look at everything in the store.
Xueluo inexplicably felt like she was having her homework checked by a primary school teacher.
"Luoluo..." Xie Xinghe, who was standing beside her, suddenly whispered in her ear, "Is your aunt still single?"
Xueluo was shocked by his words, and then she saw Xie Xinghe looking at her aunt with lustful expression: "!!! What do you want to do!"
Xie Xinghe said seriously, blushing a little: "I want to be your uncle!"
Xueluo was shocked: "Don't even think about it!"
No, she had to stay away from this pervert. Xue Luo just walked out and immediately came back. Xie Xinghe immediately looked at her with hope on his face.
Xue Luo was silent, and took the white cat on the counter away.
Xie Xinghe: “…”
Xue Manyun looked at the dozens of snacks on the shelves, and there was surprise in her eyes. "It seems that your previous job at that snack company was of some use."
Xueluo and the white cat followed behind her. Xueluo smiled awkwardly, and the white cat hung its tail a little bored.
"When did you get a cat?" Xue Manyun looked at the white cat T and suddenly said, "It looks like a long-haired cat... Not bad."
White Cat: “…”
"Snow White is very obedient!" Xue Luo said immediately.
Xue Manyun: "Really?"
"Aunt, do you want to try this chocolate? Everyone likes it." Xue Luo said when she saw Xue Manyun's eyes lingering on the Dove chocolate for a few seconds.
"Then try it."
Wu Xu hadn't seen Xie Xinghe coming for a long time and was getting a little impatient. He was also thirsty, so he came over to the small supermarket. When he saw Xie Xinghe standing by the counter, looking inside with his eyes shining, he gave him a slap.
"What are you standing here looking at?"
Xie Xinghe touched his head: "It hurts, it hurts... Master, Aunt Xueluo is here!"
"I have eyes." Wu Xu said unhappily.
In the aisle, Xue Manyun was eating the white chocolate that Xue Luo had peeled off, with a happy look on her face. "Not bad."
Xueluo was also happy to be recognized.
"Auntie, Uncle Wu is here."
"Uncle Wu!"
Xue Manyun and Wu Xu had met once or twice, at Xue Luo's mother's funeral. They didn't like each other very much, and now they were even more at odds with each other.
"Master Wu."
"Miss Xue."
It would be superfluous to say a single polite word.
For a moment, no one spoke and the atmosphere was a bit awkward. Xie Xinghe wanted to say something, but Wu Xu glared at him and he shut up.
Xue Luo: “…”
She risked her life, "Auntie, why don't you come upstairs and sit for a while? It's almost noon, I'll go..."
"No need." Xue Manyun said, "I just came to see you. Your small supermarket is doing very well. It seems that my worries are unnecessary."
"Don't bother, just run the shop. I already have an appointment. I'll see you tomorrow."
Just at this moment, a rhythmic sound of leather shoes was heard outside the small supermarket. A young man walked in, dressed in a suit and tie, with a handsome appearance. He looked only a few years older than Xue Luo, but his temperament was quite calm. As he entered the store, his eyes instantly fell on Xue Manyun. He was radiant, and his heart and eyes were full of her.
"Manyun, I'm not late, am I?"
Xue Manyun took a critical look at his clothes and asked, "Did you just finish a meeting?"
The young man smiled and took off his silver-rimmed glasses. "It's not too late. I'll definitely change my clothes to see you next time."
"This is my great-niece, Xueluo."
Xueluo, like Xie Xinghe, was still in shock.
"This is my boyfriend."
Xie Xinghe's heart almost broke when he heard these words uttered by Xue Manyun's red lips.
Wu Xu was not surprised.
Xueluo didn't know what to call this young lady's boyfriend for a moment, but the other party smiled and said to Xueluo: "Hello, Miss Xue, if you need financial management in the future, you can contact me."
He pushed over a light curtain business card.
Han Wenjing, founding partner of Baishan Capital.
Xueluo was a little confused, but still said, "Thank you, Mr. Han."
After Xie Xinghe saw the message on the business card, his face turned red and then white, and he was completely upset.
"Let's go." Xue Manyun put her hand on Han Wenjing and said.
"Then, auntie...see you tomorrow?"
Xue Manyun hummed.
The two of them looked very harmonious from behind, with no sign of age difference at all. Xueluo suddenly felt a little envious, "No wonder my aunt came here so suddenly, it turns out she came here for a date."
"Han Wenjing! I don't have a chance." Xie Xinghe's face was sad.
"Even if it's not him, you have no chance." Wu Xu on the side was merciless.
"Baishan Capital! Holy crap! They're the big boss of capital from our Capital Star!" Xie Xinghe recovered quickly after a breakup. "Luoluo, didn't he just mention that if you need to find him for fund management in the future, you must not miss him."
Xue Luo: "...I still owe my great aunt 520,000, how can I manage the funds?" Now she has less than 140,000 star coins on hand, is this necessary?
"Anyway, you will definitely be able to use it in the future." Seeing Xie Xinghe's face full of regret and eagerness to try, he couldn't wait to do it himself.
Wu Xu dragged him away: "That's her great aunt's boyfriend, not her great aunt's father. Let's go back. There's a modified flying car and I have something to tell you."
Everyone dispersed.
The small supermarket suddenly became quiet. Xueluo stood by the counter and Maomao jumped onto the counter.
Xueluo said to Maomao, "My aunt is quite cool. It almost makes me think I've been transported into a romance novel."
White cat: “…Meow.” Another sentence that was completely incomprehensible.
"Oops! I almost forgot!"
"I forgot to ask my aunt when she will come tomorrow!"
"Meow~"
At the same time, Xie Xinghe, who was brought back to the repair shop by Wu Xu, was struggling to change things under the car, while Wu Xu himself was drinking Coke and sitting in a chair looking through the 3D flying car modification drawings on the light screen. At this moment, his intelligent brain started to make a ding ding ding sound.
Garland sent him several messages.
[Old Wu~ I've already taken leave and will come over tomorrow. Shouldn't you send me your address?]
[Old Wu, you can't go back on your word! ]
[Wu Xu, pay attention to me!!!]
Wu Xu was actually not very happy about Garland coming, especially since his purpose was probably to explore Xue Luo's special abilities.
However, if Xue Luo really has this special ability, she won't be able to hide it for long. Perhaps if she can handle the relationship with the military well, it will make her future easier.
Although Garland is sometimes unreliable, if he were in the current military, he would definitely be the person he could trust the most.
Besides, you are watching.
At this moment, Garland, who had been unable to contact Wu Xu, simply made a video call, but Wu Xu hung up directly.
Then Wu Xu made another call: "Send it to you later."
"Sir! I almost thought you were playing a trick on me!" Garland immediately complained bitterly: "You're not regretting it now, are you? It's too late. Let me tell you, Wu Xu, you know, I rarely stick to one thing, but this time, I have to meet this healer!"
"...I didn't." Wu Xu was speechless. "Gallan, you have to promise me that when you come over tomorrow, you will listen to me."
"What? Are you afraid I'll scare her?" Jia Lan said, "Wu Xu, you've changed. I've never seen you be so gentle and considerate to women before."
"If you don't know how to use words, don't use them randomly. This is my junior, someone who was once asked me to take care of." Wu Xu didn't know what he remembered, and his mood became a little gloomy.
"...Okay, I just want to meet this healer and eat some snacks. What else can I do?"
But even so, Wu Xu still made three rules with Jialan. Jialan knew his character, which was the same bad temper as Nie Xun. If you don't follow his rules and mess around in his territory, he will find you and make you cry.
After hanging up the phone, Wu Xu remembered that Aunt Xue Luo would also come over tomorrow, and suddenly he felt a headache.
