Chapter 88 I'm serious, I will treat her well for the rest of my life.
Song Xu frowned, feeling sorry for Lin Xi. He patted her head and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Your parents are just sexist and they're just looking for an excuse to sell you off so they can feel at ease."
“But after Grandma adopted me, she lost my brother, and now Grandma has been harmed and is in a vegetative state.” Lin Xi’s tone was filled with sadness.
When Song Xu heard Lin Xi mention her brother, she felt a little guilty. Perhaps the bad luck she was experiencing was brought on by him.
“Those were all accidents. Your grandmother was made sick by Li Sheng and his family. What does it have to do with you? I’m very close to you now, and I haven’t encountered any bad luck.”
Lin Xi felt comforted and smiled at Song Xu, "Brother Xu, thank you so much. I've thought it over. If you want to unilaterally break the contract because of family reasons, I can waive the penalty."
Song Xu withdrew his pity for Lin Xi, his face darkened, and he stepped on the gas, driving home without a word.
He shouldn't have had any expectations of Lin Xi; she's an ingrate.
Lin Xi would occasionally turn to look at Song Xu, observing his expression, wondering what he was thinking.
The two returned to the apartment one after the other, and Song Xu didn't even want to hold her hand anymore.
Upon entering the house, I found that there were people inside.
It was Song Chen who had returned; he was eating instant noodles at the dining table.
"Brother?" Song Xu glanced at Song Chen's instant noodles, which seemed to have overcooked. "Why didn't you tell me you were coming back? What are you eating?"
Song Chen put down his fork. "I just got back from a business trip. I saw you weren't here, so I just made myself a quick bowl of noodles. It's been a while, and I only just remembered to eat now."
Lin Xi also came over and glanced at it, then immediately said, "There are some dumplings I made in the fridge. I'll cook some for you, it'll be quick."
"That's great," Song Chen laughed, "This noodle dish is really awful."
Song Xu didn't say anything. He sat down next to Song Chen and said to Lin Xi, "Cook some for me too."
"You didn't eat enough?" Lin Xi asked in surprise.
Song Xu rolled her eyes at her, "I'm just watching you eat."
Lin Xi said "Oh," turned around and went to the kitchen, put on an apron, boiled water, and counted out fifty dumplings to put into the pot.
The two brothers had big appetites. Lawyer Song could eat at least thirty without eating, and the remaining twenty were given to Song Xu.
Half an hour later, Lin Xi brought out two plates of dumplings.
Lin Xi wanted to go back to her room, but Song Xu grabbed her, saying, "Don't go yet, sit down and stay with us for a while."
Lin Xi took off her apron and placed it on the back of the chair, then sat down next to Song Xu.
Song Chen glanced at the two of them, then lowered his head and began to eat his dumplings.
"Lin Xi, do you have vinegar?" Song Chen felt that dumplings didn't taste quite right without vinegar.
"A little, I'll go get it for you." Lin Xi went to the kitchen, brought back a bottle of aged vinegar, and poured some for Song Chen.
Lin Xi's dumplings are filled with three kinds of seafood. She learned to make the filling from her grandmother, but in the past they only put in chives and eggs. Here, you can put in shrimp.
Song Chen picked up a dumpling, dipped it in vinegar, and took a bite. The taste... was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had eaten it before.
He ate several dumplings in a row, the taste becoming more and more familiar with each bite. He swallowed the dumpling in his mouth and looked at Lin Xi, "Did you make these dumplings yourself?"
Lin Xi nodded and asked nervously, "What's wrong? Is it not tasty?"
"No, it's delicious," Song Chen rubbed his head. "This tastes familiar, like I've had it somewhere before."
"Is the flavor of Thirteen Spices a bit too strong?" Lin Xi explained, "My grandma taught me to put more Thirteen Spices in the chive filling."
"It's an heirloom?" Song Chen smiled. "Then I might be mistaken."
Song Xu remained silent, quietly eating his dumplings.
Song Chen quickly finished the whole plate of dumplings. He put down his chopsticks, patted his stomach, and said, "I'm so full."
"Xiaoxu, Mom called me today and asked me to come home for dinner tomorrow night. She said you should come too. What's going on this time?"
Song Xu had almost finished eating. "I'm not entirely sure of the specifics, but it's probably about our relationship."
"No way, she arranged two blind dates for me last time I went back," Song Chen said, feeling a bit overwhelmed. "Before I even said anything, she rejected the women."
"This is so embarrassing," Song Chen shook his head helplessly. "I'm now labeled a mama's boy."
Lin Xi couldn't help but laugh out loud when she remembered how Mrs. Song called Lawyer Song "Chenchen" last time.
Song Xu and Song Chen looked at her at the same time. Lin Xi immediately stopped smiling and looked at them apologetically, "I'm sorry, I just remembered a joke."
"Tell us what joke you've come up with, so we can have a laugh too," Song Chen said, tapping his fingers on the table.
"Hmm..." Lin Xi tried hard to think of a joke, but she couldn't think of any. "I thought of something sad again, so I can't laugh."
"Brother Xu, you didn't pay for my phone." Lin Xi suddenly remembered this important matter.
"I forgot today, I'll buy it for you tomorrow." Song Xu hadn't forgotten; he just didn't want Lin Xi to be affected by the forum anymore. He would buy her a new phone after things were resolved.
I don't know how Shen Yan and Xiao Heng are handling it. Those two are unreliable. I'll call them later. If it doesn't work, I'll find a professional to handle it tomorrow.
"Huh? Lin Xi, when did you change how you address him? You're calling him Brother Xu now?" Song Chen questioned. "Then shouldn't you call me Brother Chen too?"
"Huh?" She was forced to address Song Xu like that. "Isn't that inappropriate?"
Lin Xi looked at Song Xu guiltily. She couldn't address others as "brother" or "sister," as it would be against her rights.
Song Xu's reaction was indifferent: "There's nothing wrong with it. He's my brother, so it's perfectly fine for you to call him brother."
"Oh, Brother Chen." Since Song Xu agreed, she would call him that.
“Brother, I have something to tell you,” Song Xu suddenly grabbed Lin Xi’s hand, “Lin Xi is my girlfriend now.”
"Cough!" Song Chen was startled by Song Xu's words and coughed several times. He looked at Song Xu in shock, "Xiao Xu, what did you just say? Did I hear you wrong?"
"Judging from your reaction, you must have heard correctly," Song Xu said, interlacing his fingers with Lin Xi's. "Lin Xi is my girlfriend now, and I'm serious. I will treat her well for the rest of my life."
Lin Xi stared at Song Xu in astonishment. His acting was too good. If she hadn't been involved and knew the inside story, she would definitely have been moved by his sincerity.
Song Chen frowned. Something didn't seem right. Was Song Xu confessing his feelings to Lin Xi right in front of him?
“Xiao Xu, this isn’t about whether you’re serious or not, or whether it’s good or bad,” Song Chen sighed, glancing at Lin Xi. “The important thing is whether Mom and Dad will agree.”
“Dad has already agreed,” Song Xu said. “He met Lin Xi today and was very satisfied. As for Mom, we’ll know the answer tomorrow night.”
Song Chen: !
