Chapter 118 Do you know who the guest coming today is?
"Xixi, it's Saturday today, there are no classes at school, right?" Xu Wantang asked.
"No, I'm off today," Lin Xi said, her whole body tense. "Is there something you need from me?"
“I would like to invite you to the Song family’s place,” Xu Wantang said gently. “I really miss your milk tea. Could you come over and make me a cup, and we can chat while we’re at it?”
Lin Xi glanced back at Song Xu. This wasn't just about a cup of milk tea; she guessed they were going to talk about her and Song Xu. "Okay, I'll be right there."
Lin Xi hung up the phone, and Song Xu leaned in and rested his head on her shoulder. "Why did my mom call you?"
“She asked me to come to your house,” Lin Xi said calmly.
"Go to my house?" Song Xu was much more awake. Why didn't his mother tell him before asking Lin Xi to come over?
Song Xu turned around and went to the bedside to get his phone. "I'll ask my mom what she wants you to do over there."
Lin Xi snatched his phone away, "Don't ask, I'll just go there and find out."
"Send me your home address," Lin Xi said, as she didn't know where the Song family lived.
“I’ll go back with you,” Song Xu stole a kiss on Lin Xi’s cheek, “I’ll leave after I take a shower.”
Lin Xi wiped her face. This person was really something, always showering her with affection, big or small.
She was still wearing her pajamas and needed to go back to her room to change.
Lin Xi looked in the mirror. The marks on her neck hadn't completely faded yet, so she still had to wear a high-necked dress today.
She styled her long hair into a bun, wore a yellow dress, and paired it with white sneakers. Combined with her sweet appearance, she exuded youthful energy.
Lin Xi stood at the front door waiting for Song Xu.
When Song Xu came out, he saw that Lin Xi was wearing a yellow dress, so he turned around and went back to his room.
Lin Xi: ...
Two minutes later, Song Xu came out again. He had changed his shirt, replacing the original white shirt with a yellow T-shirt in the same color scheme as Lin Xi's, and paired it with white jeans.
Lin Xi rolled her eyes at him. How childish!
"You dare to talk back to me!" Song Xu walked over in a few steps and slapped her bottom. "I'll spank you until your bottom is swollen."
Lin Xi frowned and handed him the sandwich in her hand, "Eat a little less first, you didn't eat breakfast."
Song Xu finished the sandwich in just a few bites. "It's still good to have a wife."
“Who’s your wife? Don’t call me that. We’re just in an employer-employee relationship right now,” Lin Xi warned him. “You can’t just touch, kiss, or call me whatever you want in your own home.”
"Okay!" Song Xu understood. It wouldn't work at his house, but it would work here, so he stole another kiss for her before leaving.
Song Xu drove Lin Xi back to the Song family's old house.
The Song family's old house is a detached house with its own courtyard. The outer courtyard wall is mottled and entwined with vines, giving it a very rustic look.
As Lin Xi drove through the gate, she felt as if she had entered the Imperial Garden, with trees and flowers everywhere, as well as fish ponds and lotus ponds, and the whole courtyard was filled with fragrance.
Even though Lin Xi wasn't very knowledgeable, she knew that these were all precious flowers, and this whole yard of them was no cheap.
Song Xu drove the car into the garage, then took Lin Xi's hand and led her inside.
As soon as they entered, Lin Xi shook off Song Xu's hand; it was better for them to keep some distance.
Xu Wantang was already waiting in the living room on the first floor.
She didn't seem surprised to see Lin Xi and Song Xu arrive together, but she was momentarily stunned when she saw how well-matched the two looked standing together.
"Xixi, you're here!" Xu Wantang quickly came to her senses, went up to Lin Xi and took her hand, glancing at Song Xu, "I knew you would come along. If you want to call me home in the future, you'll have to call Xixi."
Song Xu chuckled upon hearing this. Had his mother come to her senses so quickly? He put his arm around Xu Wantang's shoulder and said, "Mom is so insightful. I'll be wherever Xixi is from now on."
Xu Wantang glared at him. "Your dad is waiting for you in the study upstairs. Go on, don't disturb me and Xixi."
"Yes, ma'am!" Song Xu gave Lin Xi a reassuring look before leaving.
Lin Xi was still a little nervous without Song Xu by her side.
“Mrs. Song,” Lin Xi remembered why Mrs. Song had called her here, “Where is the kitchen? I’ll go make you some milk tea.”
“Don’t call me Mrs. Song, call me Aunt Xu,” Xu Wantang said. “I have my own surname, I don’t call them by the same surname as them, Song.”
"Aunt Xu," Lin Xi called out obediently.
"Good girl," Xu Wantang said, affectionately stroking Lin Xi's face. "I liked you the first time I saw you, and I like you even more now that I see you again."
"Thank you, Aunt Xu." Lin Xi couldn't resist Xu Wantang's enthusiasm; she seemed to have figured out who Song Xu resembled.
Xu Wantang led Lin Xi to the kitchen. "Just tell me what you need. We should have everything we need. If anything is missing, I'll have it delivered."
Lin Xi listed the ingredients she needed, and soon someone brought them and placed them in front of her.
Xu Wantang did not leave, but stayed by Lin Xi's side and even made pearls with her.
"So that's how the pearls are made. That's interesting."
Lin Xi made a lot at once, cooking a small pot of it. "Aunt Xu, these pearls can be frozen for storage. Next time you want to drink them, just heat them up."
“Okay, these pearls are my favorite,” Xu Wantang said, having someone find some small boxes to pack them into and freeze them. “Xixi, can you make other drinks?”
Lin Xi nodded, "I know some simple ones."
“That’s great. We’ll be having guests over soon,” Xu Wantang said apologetically. “Then I’ll trouble you to make two more drinks.”
“It’s not hard work,” Lin Xi smiled. “It’s very easy. I’ll prepare the ingredients first, and then I can cook it for the guests when they arrive.”
"Okay, Auntie will stay with you." Xu Wantang observed Lin Xi from the side, becoming more and more satisfied with her.
She had to admit that her son had good taste; apart from his poor family background, Lin Xi had no other flaws.
However, the most important condition for entering the Song family is to have brains. When she was able to marry Song Qing, it was because of her high IQ that she passed the old man's test.
When choosing a wife, one should choose a virtuous one, for a virtuous wife can bring prosperity to three generations. "Virtuous" does not only mean being kind and gentle, but also requires a woman to be capable, virtuous, and wise.
With a woman like this around, the family can stay together and accumulate wealth.
Lin Xi is a very good kid. Not only is she smart, but her character and mentality are also excellent.
Lin Xi's attitude towards her was the same as when they first met. It hadn't changed after she and Song Xu established their relationship. She didn't flatter her excessively, and when asked to make drinks in the kitchen, she didn't show any dissatisfaction.
"Xixi, do you know who the guest is coming today?" Xu Wantang suddenly asked.
Lin Xi shook her head; how would she know?
“I don’t know if you’ve met her before,” Xu Wantang said, her expression turning somewhat grim. “Lu Yunqi, Song Xu’s childhood sweetheart.”
