Chapter 119 I've decided Lin Xi is my daughter-in-law
Lu Yunqi? Lin Xi looked at Xu Wantang, "Aunt Xu, when will she arrive? Should I leave first? She might be unhappy to see me."
"Why did you leave?" Xu Wantang held Lin Xi's hand. "What does her happiness have to do with me? As long as you're happy, that's all that matters."
Um... Judging from Aunt Xu's words, she doesn't seem to like Lu Yunqi very much, and Lin Xi is starting to believe Song Xu's words.
Lu Yunqi arrived, carrying a rather large bag containing Lin Xi's information, as well as gifts for Xu Wantang and Song Qingshi.
As she entered the gate, Xu Wantang received a message: "Xixi, you can make the drinks now. Just make whatever you like for Lu Yunqi. I'll have bubble tea. Make whatever you want to drink."
“Okay, Aunt Xu.” Lin Xi nodded in agreement.
Xu Wantang walked from the kitchen to the living room to wait for Lu Yunqi.
"Aunt Song!" Lu Yunqi greeted Xu Wantang warmly as she entered the room and saw her sitting on the sofa in the living room.
Xu Wantang didn't move, but just smiled and waved to her, "Xiaoqi, you're here, come and sit down."
Lu Yunqi walked over and sat opposite Xu Wantang. She took out two gift boxes from her bag and placed them on the coffee table. "Aunt Song, these are gifts I brought back for you and Uncle Song from abroad."
"Thank you, that's very thoughtful." Xu Wantang pushed the gift aside.
She knew what was inside at a glance—nothing more than perfume and a belt, a gift devoid of any sentiment. She really didn't know what Lu Yunqi wanted to do by coming over, wasting half of her day.
Fortunately, she called Lin Xi over; otherwise, talking to that blockhead Lu Yunqi would have been exhausting.
"Xiaoqi, I heard you're also going to Jiangbei University," Xu Wantang asked.
Lu Yunqi nodded proudly, "Yes, Aunt Song, I never thought that I would end up becoming a schoolmate with Song Xu."
Hmph! What do you mean you didn't expect this? You were able to get into Jiangbei only because our family helped you. You have no intelligence and no emotional intelligence. Someone like you wants to enter the Song family? No way.
Xu Wantang thought to herself, but kept smiling.
“Aunt Song…” Lu Yunqi hesitated about how to bring up Lin Xi’s matter. She hummed for a long time but couldn’t say a word.
Xu Wantang, growing impatient, finally spoke up, "Xiaoqi, just say what you want to say. We're already so familiar with each other."
"Aunt Song, do you know if Song Xu has a girl around him recently?" Lu Yunqi asked.
"Which girl?" Xu Wantang asked, frowning.
“Um…it seems to be a nanny hired by Song Xu,” Lu Yunqi observed Xu Wantang’s expression, “her surname is Lin.”
“Oh,” Xu Wantang suddenly realized, “You’re talking about Xixi, of course I know her.”
"Xi Xi?" The way she called her that so intimately made Lu Yunqi's expression darken. "Do you know any details about Lin Xi?"
“I know,” Xu Wantang said with a smile. “Xixi is a top student. She has always had good grades since she was a child. She ranked eleventh in the college entrance examination in Jiangbei City. When I first met her, she could even recite the English dictionary. She is such an amazing girl.”
Lu Yunqi was so angry she almost twisted her nose. This old woman only knew how to talk about grades and studies. What use is a fool who only knows how to study?
"Aunt Song, do you know about Lin Xi's family situation?" Lu Yunqi said with a pursed mouth. "She doesn't even have parents, only a grandmother, who is still lying in the hospital in a coma."
“And…” Before Lu Yunqi could finish speaking, a drink was placed in front of her.
"And what?" Lin Xi glanced at Lu Yunqi calmly.
"Aunt Xu, here's your milk tea," she said, placing the bubble tea in front of Xu Wantang.
There was a drink left on the plate, which Lin Xi picked up herself.
Xu Wantang pulled Lin Xi to sit next to her, saying, "Xi Xi, sit here."
"Lin Xi?" Lu Yunqi looked at Lin Xi in surprise. "What are you doing here?"
Lin Xi glanced at her indifferently, "Why can't I be here?"
“You…” Lu Yunqi wanted to say that she, a lowly nanny, was not worthy of entering the Song family’s door, but she didn’t dare to say it in front of Xu Wantang.
Xu Wantang took a sip of milk tea. "I specially invited Xixi over to help me entertain you. Xiaoqi, have a sip. Xixi's cooking is really good."
Lu Yunqi picked up the glass and took a sip. "It's alright. So it was Aunt Song who asked Lin Xi to come and do the work."
"Lin Xi is a professional nanny; you can really trust her to do her job."
Lin Xi took a sip of the green grape sparkling water she had made herself. It tasted pretty good. She put down her drink and smiled at Lu Yunqi. "Aunt Xu really trusts me, whether it's housework or Song Xu."
"Lin Xi, you don't actually think of yourself as Song Xu's girlfriend, do you?" Lu Yunqi asked, feigning surprise, then looked at Xu Wantang with a gossipy expression, waiting to see a good show.
“I don’t care what Song Xu thinks,” Xu Wantang’s expression turned serious, “I’ve decided that Lin Xi is my daughter-in-law.”
Upon hearing Xu Wantang's words, Lin Xi and Lu Yunqi both looked at her in shock.
“Aunt Song!” Lu Yunqi suddenly stood up. “Do you know how bad Lin Xi’s conditions are? She and Song Xu are not a good match at all. Aren’t you the one who values marriage between equals the most?”
Lin Xi was equally puzzled; she was even more eager for Xu Wantang's answer than Lu Yunqi was.
“Xixi’s family background is not something she can choose,” Xu Wantang patiently explained, “but she chose the path of learning to change her life.”
“For families like ours, making money is easy, but acquiring Lin Xi’s knowledge, character and abilities is not easy.”
Lu Yunqi bit her lip, looking at the two people opposite her with resentment. Xu Wantang's words were clearly meant for her.
It's saying she only has money, but no knowledge, no character, and no ability!
Lu Yunqi did not take out Lin Xi's file. She just smiled faintly and said, "Aunt Song, I came here today to ask you to persuade Song Xu that Lin Xi and he are not suitable for each other."
"However, since you've already said all this, I have nothing more to say. I just hope that you and Song Xu won't regret it later."
Lu Yunqi slung her bag over her shoulder. "Aunt Song, I have nothing else to do, so I'll be leaving now."
Xu Wantang stood up to see her off, "You're leaving already? Aren't you staying for lunch? I've already had it prepared."
"No need to trouble Aunt Song," Lu Yunqi thought to herself with a cold snort. She hadn't even received any fruit or snacks, so how could she possibly have prepared lunch? "I'll eat at home."
"Alright then, I won't force you."
Xu Wantang pulled Lin Xi to see Lu Yunqi to the door.
Once the person was out of sight, Xu Wantang snorted, "What kind of thing is this, coming here to sow discord between us, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?"
Lin Xi: When did they become mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?
