To be honest, knowing why Meng Chengli was critically ill and had a stroke this time, Xu Fengyun and his son did not have a very good impression of the Pei family, but they did respect the old lady and the deceased old man of the Pei family.
I have also heard a lot about the brothers Pei Yu and Pei Sui, especially having come into contact with Pei Yu in the business world.
Apart from that "troublemaker" Cui Xueheng, there is actually nothing to criticize about the Pei family.
Just based on what Cui Xueheng did, it was already disgusting enough.
So I'm quite surprised to know that they got back together so quickly.
Meng Sheng also knew that his uncle and cousin must be prejudiced against Pei Sui now, and that prejudice was all caused by Cui Xueheng.
She didn't have a good impression of Cui Xueheng, so naturally she wouldn't say anything good about her, but Pei Sui was indeed innocent, so she explained to her how Pei Sui destroyed the plum garden that Cui Xueheng valued most that day, and sent Cui Xueheng abroad.
There is no need to go into the details of her reconciliation with Pei Sui.
If you don't tell someone when there are elders around, especially male elders, it would be embarrassing to tell them.
However, after hearing this, Xu Fengyun and Xu Jinmin felt a little better.
My prejudice against Pei Sui has been slightly alleviated. As for the remaining prejudice, I can only draw a conclusion after talking with him in the afternoon.
The three of them discussed upstairs for more than two hours and didn't come down until almost twelve o'clock.
Lou Shumin was in the living room, watching them coming down from upstairs, and said with a smile, "I was just planning to ask Pianran to go upstairs and call you to eat, but you guys came down on your own. You're all quite self-aware."
Meng Sheng chuckled, took a few quick steps, and took Lou Shumin's arm. "What delicious food did my aunt ask the kitchen to prepare?"
Lou Shumin looked at her and smiled, "You finally came back, so of course I asked the kitchen to make your favorite dishes. A couple of months ago, Ayun resigned from the kitchen, and we hired a new cook. She also has a few specialties. You can try them later to see if they suit your taste."
"Okay, my aunt still loves me."
Meng Sheng asked with a smile, "Where's Pianran?"
Lou Shumin looked around and said, "He was just sitting in the living room playing games, and now I don't know where he went."
As soon as the voice fell, Xu Pianran came and grumbled dissatisfiedly, "I just went to the bathroom, and you dissed me."
As she spoke, she stuck to Meng Sheng, "Sister, you should stay for dinner today, right? Come to my room and play games later. My brother just bought me a game console a few days ago, and I haven't tried it yet."
Meng Sheng nodded, "Okay, I'll go play with you after dinner."
Lou Shumin listened and naggled a few words beside her, but Xu Pianran didn't want to hear it, so she quickly pulled Meng Sheng to the restaurant.
The lunch was indeed sumptuous. There were only five of them, but there were more than ten dishes. At a glance, many of them were Meng Sheng’s favorites, and even the taste hadn’t changed.
The Xu family's family atmosphere is relatively relaxed and harmonious, and there is no rule of not talking while eating or sleeping.
The topic of Xu Jinmin's marriage came up at the dinner table.
Xu Jinmin is only a few months younger than Meng Shixu. He is 32 years old this year and is not one of those playboys in the circle. Xu Fengyun has indeed been training him as his heir since he was a child, so it is indeed late for him to get married at this age.
This also stems from the fact that he himself does not want to get married. He does not want marriage to become a matter of only discussing interests. There must always be a certain emotional foundation.
Even if there is no such thing at the beginning, you should always talk about it first and try to get along with each other. If it is not suitable, there is still a way out. If you talk about it after getting married and it is still not suitable, wouldn’t that be the same as making the two families enemies?
Then it becomes a second marriage, a third marriage, or even a fourth marriage, and finally he remains single for the rest of his life.
Just thinking about it makes his scalp tingle.
He didn't want to put himself in a difficult position, let alone put the girl in a difficult position.
The woman he is currently dating and planning to marry is Su Jingyi, the eldest daughter of the Su family in Jiangting City.
She is 30 years old this year and is a teacher in the Foreign Languages Department of Peking University. Meng Sheng has never met her, but he can hear from his aunt Lou Shumin that she is very satisfied with her. She said that the girl is tall and graceful, with a pure and elegant temperament, and a bit lively, and she is a good match for her cousin Xu Jinmin.
The wedding date is set for October 18th this year.
Meng Sheng smiled and congratulated her a few times. Lou Shumin smiled so hard that her eyes wrinkled. "It's unfortunate that Jingyi went back to Jiangting City this week. Otherwise, I could have asked her to come over for dinner today so that she could meet you and get to know you better."
Meng Sheng smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. There will be plenty of opportunities to meet in the future."
"That's right, you should come back more often when you have time. I'll go to your room after dinner to see if you need anything. If you need anything, just tell your aunt and she'll get it for you. If there's anything you want to take away, tell your aunt and she'll have it packed for you."
Before Lou Shumin got married, she and Xu Li were close friends. Later, she happened to marry into the Xu family, and the two sisters-in-law were as close as a pair of pants.
So Lou Shumin really loves her niece Meng Sheng as her own daughter and wants to give her a share of all the good things.
After the meal, Meng Sheng was pulled by Xu Pianran to her room. Lou Shumin also reminded Xu Pianran to stay away from Meng Sheng and not to disturb her lunch break.
Xu Pianran's room is a typical princess room. It is filled with pink and blue girlish hearts, so pink that it is dazzling.
Meng Sheng was quite patient and doting towards his younger sister. He played with her for almost two hours, but later he felt too tired to play and went back to his room.
Since she got married, she has basically never stayed overnight at the Xu family manor.
As soon as the door was opened, the layout inside had not changed at all, even the bedding was new, and the dressing room connected to it had a lot of new things, including clothes and accessories.
The corners of her lips curved up. Whether it was the Meng family or the Xu family, they made her feel extremely at ease.
Pei Sui arrived after five in the afternoon. He sent a WeChat voice message to Meng Sheng about twenty minutes in advance.
Knowing that Pei Sui was coming, Xu Fengyun and Xu Jinmin did not go out the whole day. They discussed things and handled official business in the study in the afternoon.
At this time, I heard the housekeeper say that someone had arrived. I thought about it and felt that after all, he was my niece's boyfriend. It would be bad to not give him any face and embarrass him. It would be my niece who would be embarrassed.
