Wen Ting stood up and asked Xu Nanzhi.
With so many people watching, Xu Nanzhi didn't know what to say and just nodded.
Wen Ting went to the kitchen, leaving Xu Nanzhi alone to deal with a group of uncles and aunts.
These people were the best of the previous generation, so Xu Nanzhi naturally felt a little pressured to be with them, and could only smile awkwardly at everyone.
By the way, add some tea for someone.
"I heard that you, Nanzhi, graduated from Peking University?"
The one who spoke was Luo Mingxi's mother. Her tone was gentle, a bit like a southern woman.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, Xu Nanzhi nodded reluctantly: "Yes, I graduated from Peking University."
"That's amazing." Xu Nanzhi could only smile awkwardly at this comment, because she really didn't know what to say.
Then, Chen Bai's mother said, "Of course. I heard from our Chen Bai before that Nan Zhi is a good student. She seemed to be the number one in her major at that time."
After saying this, it attracted the attention of several men present.
Xu Nanzhi smiled with a Chihiro look on her lips: "Auntie, you are too kind. Brother Chen Bai was also a good student in the past."
This was the first time Xu Nanzhi called Chen Bai like that. She felt very awkward saying it, but there were elders around, so after thinking it over, she decided to add "brother" after his name.
Shen Bai's mother was just like him, very sociable: "Oh, you are being modest. I heard Shen Bai say before that you have been a top student since childhood. Our Shen Bai can only be said to be okay, but still a little behind you."
Then he sighed, "Oh, sometimes I really envy your mother. She has such a beautiful and sensible girl. Unlike me, I only have that naughty boy at home. He always makes people worry."
As he spoke, he stepped forward and took Xu Nanzhi's hand: "Nanzhi, how about you be my goddaughter?"
When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned. No one expected that Shen Bai's mother would make such a request. Xu Nanzhi's eyes widened.
Now she understood why Chen Bai had such a personality. It turned out to be hereditary. Both mother and daughter were people with quick minds.
At this time, Wen Ting came out of the kitchen with a few glasses of juice in his hands. He naturally heard what Shen Bai's mother had just said.
Seeing Xu Nanzhi's frightened expression, he couldn't help but frown.
"Aunt Chen, your decision is too sudden." Wen Ting said to help Xu Nanzhi out of the predicament.
But Shen Bai's mother didn't look surprised at all: "I don't think it's sudden. Let me tell you, Xiaoting, if it weren't for our Shen Bai being so out of tune and changing his girlfriends one after another, I would have wanted Xiao Nanzhi to be my daughter-in-law."
Then, with a look of regret on his face, he said, "Oh, don't say anything. My boy is not worthy of Nan Zhi. I can only settle for the second best and adopt a goddaughter."
As soon as these words were spoken, the two women opposite them became more active in thinking. What Chen Bai had just said was indeed a good idea. They all looked at Xu Nanzhi with bright eyes.
At this moment, Xu Nanzhi felt like a sweet biscuit and had a bad premonition.
At this time, Luo Mingxi's mother said: "Nanzhi, do you have a boyfriend?"
These words had a somewhat persuasive feel to them. Xu Nanzhi laughed dryly twice: "Not yet."
After saying this, Xu Nanzhi clearly felt that the gaze fixed on him became even hotter.
Even though she didn't say anything, she had a feeling that she was being watched.
As Ji was talking, there was a knock on the door, and Chen Bai, Luo Mingxi and Jiang Huaibei walked in one after another.
After seeing Xu Nanzhi, Chen Bai was the first to greet her enthusiastically: "Hey, sister Nanzhi is back. I was going to pick you up, but unfortunately Wen Ting didn't agree. He said you were busy with work recently and asked me not to disturb you."
Because of the presence of the elders, Xu Nanzhi chose his words carefully: "Hello, Brother Chen Bai. Well, I've been a little busy recently."
These words "brother Chen Bai" shocked Chen Bai so much that he looked at Xu Nanzhi with surprise and felt that she was a little strange.
Similarly, Luo Mingxi and Jiang Huaibei, who were following behind Shen Bai, also looked surprised.
Jiang Huaibei glanced at the sofa in the living room, raised his eyebrows, and said to himself, "What a little fox."
The three of them bought a lot of ingredients. For a family gathering, the key is the atmosphere.
Wen Ting looked at the latest news on the phone: "My dad told Aunt Yun that they are already at the door."
While they were busy getting things, there was a noise coming from the door. It was the two elders of the Wen family and Wen Yan.
When Father Wen saw his old friends, he said, "Oh, everyone, I'm so sorry I'm late. As you all know, the traffic in Beijing is very congested. I happened to pick up Wen Yan on the way, so I'm a little late. Please forgive me."
Several men sitting on the sofa jokingly said, "Old Wen, as the host, since you're here so late, shouldn't you drink a glass as a punishment?"
Father Wen laughed heartily. "You'll have to be punished. I have a few bottles of fine wine in my cellar in the basement. I remember Lao Luo has been eyeing them for a long time. I'll treat you today."
When Father Luo heard what Father Wen said, he retorted, "Old Wen, what you said is wrong. What do you mean by envious? It was clearly Old Jiang who said the same thing."
When Jiang's father saw that the topic had turned to him, he immediately said, "Hey, Old Shen also said that."
Everyone burst into laughter.
"Okay, we are old now, and the world is dominated by the children. Let them go out and enjoy it for a while."
In response to this, Father Wen jokingly said, "Old Jiang, you sound a bit like you're taking advantage of your age when you say that."
Father Jiang looked at him and said, "Why don't you go out and help."
Wen's father Gan Meng waved his hand: "Forget it then."
Then he said to Wen Ting: "Wen Ting, take good care of everyone."
Afterwards, several young men walked out into the yard carrying things.
Wen Yan followed Xu Nanzhi consciously: "Sister."
There was a hint of flattery in these words, and Xu Nanzhi slowed down his pace as they talked.
In the yard, Shen Bai was unusually active, directing everyone to work: "Luo Mingxi, you are responsible for burning charcoal, Wen Ting is responsible for grilling skewers, and as for Jiang Huaibei, you will be responsible for skewers."
After Shen Bai finished speaking, Wen Yan looked around and asked, "Brother Shen, how can I help you?"
Glancing at him, Shen Bai waved his hand: “Children have privileges and don’t have to work.”
Then he looked at Xu Nanzhi and said, "It's the same for girls. Sister Nanzhi, just wait and eat."
