Chapter 152 Mr. Xi’s Character
Ruan Fengmian felt wronged, sad and heartbroken, but he didn't say it.
He just looked at Yang Liu silently with a sad look and asked, "When did you know?"
"At the beginning of this year." Yang Liu leaned back on the sofa, arms elegantly crossed. "I came to the capital during the Spring Festival and happened to run into Xiao Qi and Xi Jiu. That's when I found out."
"Early this year?!"
Ruan Fengmian looked at her in disbelief, "Wife, not only did you not tell me that my daughter was in a relationship, but you also kept it a secret for half a year?!"
Yang Liu shrugged gracefully, not showing any guilt at all.
Ruan Fengmian was heartbroken.
His daughter is in love, and his wife is having a little secret behind his back. How can he live like this?
The handsome and elegant middle-aged man exuded the sorrow of "I have been abandoned" all over his body. He looked at Yang Liu, and the sadness in his eyes was about to turn into a river.
"Wife, why didn't you tell me earlier?" the abandoned man asked sadly.
Yang Liu had long been accustomed to Ruan Fengmian's resentful behavior. She calmly admired her beautiful nails and said nonchalantly, "I'm just afraid that you'll cry."
Ruan Fengmian: “…”
"And it happened to be the Spring Festival at that time," Yang Liu looked at him and chuckled. "It's not good to tell you such horrible news during the Spring Festival."
Ruan Fengmian: “…”
My wife is as considerate as ever.
Ruan Fengmian was choked speechless by Yang Liu's words and could only stare in frustration.
Yang Liu looked at her man's aggrieved look, and knowing the principle of giving a sweet reward after a beating, she raised her beautiful hand and patted him on the head as if to comfort a big dog.
"Don't feel wronged. The boy from the Xi family is a good person, otherwise I wouldn't have agreed to him dating Xiao Qi. Besides," Yang Liu glanced at Ruan Qi who was sitting opposite, and whispered in Ruan Fengmian's ear, "This boy has some connection with our daughter, and Mu Nan knows about it. Let's talk about it in detail tonight."
Ruan Fengmian understood the meaning behind Yang Liu's words, and a look of surprise crossed his face.
He looked up at Ruan Qi. The little girl was sitting obediently on the sofa, trying hard to prick up her ears to eavesdrop on her parents' whispers.
But Yang Liu spoke too softly, and even though she had sharp ears and eyes, she couldn't hear a word clearly.
The little girl gave up eavesdropping unhappily. She turned her head to look at Xi Jiu who was making tea in the kitchen, her eyes full of dependence.
Ruan Fengmian watched the little girl's actions, pondering what Yang Liu had just said, with a thoughtful look on his face.
…
After the elders of the Ruan family calmed down, Ruan Munan and Xu Xiangyang went back to the kitchen to continue cooking.
Although Xi Jiu wanted to establish a good relationship with the elders of the Ruan family right away, he couldn't rush into it. Instead of sweet-talking the Ruan family, he might as well help out in the kitchen. This would also leave a good impression of being down-to-earth in the eyes of the elders.
Boss Xi was very scheming, determined to cultivate a homely, down-to-earth persona. He brought the brewed tea into the living room, thoughtfully poured it for the elders, then washed a plate of fruit and brought it over. After all that, he silently returned to the kitchen and diligently began peeling garlic again.
From beginning to end, he didn't say a single sweet word, but his every move and even the hair revealed his reliability and steadiness.
"This young man is really good!" The simple-minded old lady Ruan was successfully won over, and the way she looked at Xi Jiu seemed as if she was looking at her grandson-in-law.
She took a sip from the teacup and nodded in satisfaction. "Although he doesn't talk much, he is a hard-working person. Feng Mian, what did you say just now about him being the head of the Xi family?"
Ruan Fengmian hummed reluctantly, "The Xi family is one of the top wealthy families in China, and this kid is the current head of the family. Mom, let me tell you, these top wealthy families have a lot of dirty deeds and messy private lives. Maybe this Xi Jiu..."
"Hello, Xi Jiu!" Old Mrs. Ruan interrupted her son cheerfully, "Such a wealthy and prestigious patriarch actually came to peel garlic for Xiao Qi! If this isn't true love, what is?!"
