At the same time.
Sheng Zhihuan looked at Sheng Shijing, who was chatting with Old Master Sheng not far away, and his face almost turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
He just couldn't understand why his uncle, who never cared about trivial matters at home, was so keen on promoting his marriage with Xie Mingzhu this time?
He even took the initiative to communicate with the woman!
He must be possessed!
"Brother Zhihuan, this is our family's special medicinal tea. Long-term consumption has the effect of strengthening the body and nourishing yin and yang. You should try it."
The girl's sweet and joyful voice sounded in his ears, interrupting Sheng Zhihuan's thoughts.
He looked sideways and frowned unconsciously.
I don’t know what’s going on. When I saw Xie Mingzhu before, I thought she was very cute and beautiful, but when I met her shy gaze this time, I couldn’t help but feel annoyed.
Especially when he thought that he might soon be forced to marry a wife with no power, no influence, and no background, his impatience reached its peak!
He responded indifferently and said, "I'm in good health and don't need any medicinal tea."
Xie Mingzhu was stunned: "Brother Zhihuan, you..." What happened?
Before he could finish his words, a crisp WeChat notification sound rang out from Sheng Zhihuan.
He stood up and left after saying "reply to the message".
Xie Mingzhu looked at him blankly, and the feeling of uneasiness once again surged into her heart.
Sheng Zhihuan came back ten minutes later. His face no longer had the coldness and irritability as before, but was now more relaxed and happy.
He casually picked up the medicinal tea brewed by Xie Mingzhu and took two sips, saying casually, "It tastes good."
Thinking of the effect she mentioned of nourishing yin and replenishing yang, he was moved and asked, "Does your Xie family clinic or company sell this medicinal tea?"
Xie Mingzhu came back to her senses and smiled again: "No, this medicinal tea is made by my grandfather himself. The quantity is very small, so we only provide it to our family. But if Brother Zhihuan likes it, I will pack two packets later and you can take it home and drink it slowly."
Sheng Zhihuan nodded: "Thank you very much."
Xie Mingzhu immediately showed a shy expression. When she was about to say a few more words, Mr. Xie's happy voice came from the teahouse not far away: "This really is not the case. I just mentioned it, and this girl is back."
Old Master Xie looked at his daughter who was still taking off her shoes after entering the house, and waved with a smile: "Xiao Xi, come here quickly, your Third Brother Sheng has been waiting for you for a while."
Xie Xihe looked in the direction of the voice and immediately met the man's dark eyes that were filled with a hint of smile.
She paused slightly, then casually withdrew her gaze, put on her slippers, walked towards the two of them, and sat down next to Mr. Xie.
Before she could say anything, a cup of tea with steaming wisps appeared in front of her.
"It's cold outside, drink a cup of tea to warm yourself up first." Sheng Shijing said.
Xie Xihe paused, then reached out to take it: "Thank you."
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and began to sip.
Sheng Shijing looked at her quietly.
Old Master Xie watched from the side, wanting to dig out the eyes of the brat who coveted his daughter, but at the same time he couldn't help feeling relieved and satisfied. It was as if there were two villains fighting in his heart, and his face was wrinkled with confusion.
When Xie Xihe finished his tea and looked up, he saw his father's constantly changing expression. After three seconds of silence, he couldn't help but ask, "Dad, are you planning to change your career?"
Mr. Xie said absentmindedly: "Hmm?"
After he finished speaking, he reacted and glanced at her: "What a mess, your father and I are already so old, why would I change my career?"
Xie Xihe showed him the few photos he had just taken and earnestly suggested, "I think you could try performing Peking Opera face-changing. You can save money on props."
Mr. Xie: “…”
It’s hard to put it into words.
Sheng Shijing couldn't help laughing.
Mr. Xie tried to hold it in, but in the end he couldn't help but knock her on the forehead and said unhappily, "Naughty."
Xie Xihe pushed his hand away in dissatisfaction.
After chatting and laughing for a few more times, the three of them moved to the living room after Sheng Anzhang and Xu Haiying and his wife, who had lagged behind, arrived.
At this time, Xie Tingyuan and his wife and Old Madam Xie also came over, and the two families officially met.
However, compared to the joyful expressions of Xie Tingyuan and his wife, the expressions of Sheng Anzhang and his wife opposite were not so good.
Especially Xu Haiying, the word "unhappiness" was almost written on her face. The look she gave Xie Mingzhu was as picky and dissatisfied as it could be.
If Sheng Shijing hadn't been there, she would have wanted to just walk away immediately!
Sheng Shijing glanced at the two of them, and without saying much, he took out his cell phone and made a call, turning on the hands-free button.
After two rings, the call was connected, and Old Master Sheng's voice came out from the phone, his voice very loud: "Third brother? Why are you calling at this time? Didn't I ask you to accompany your second brother and his family to the Xie family to finalize the marriage of the two children? Is it over so soon?"
Sheng Shijing glanced at Sheng Anzhang and his wife, who suddenly tensed up, and said in a calm voice, "Not yet."
"Then why did you call me? Talk about it quickly and try to finalize the marriage today. You can get engaged in the second half of the year. Wait another year and you can get married as soon as you are old enough." Grandpa Sheng urged.
In fact, Sheng Zhihuan is not that old, so it’s okay to get engaged two years later.
But ever since he met Xie Xihe yesterday, all he could think about was bringing the little girl from the Xie family to his home as soon as possible.
