So, after breakfast, Chen Xu drove, took Luo Xiyun, and visited all the relatives living in his hometown, giving them gifts. From the elders to the newborn babies, everyone got gifts.
This time, the noise was quite loud.
The elders who received the gifts were a little surprised and asked them, "Are you getting married?"
This immediately made Luo Xiyun blush.
After running around for a whole morning, I had delivered the packages to all the relatives nearby. As for those doing business outside, I sent them by courier. I asked for their addresses one by one via WeChat.
At the courier company, Chen Xu filled out more than 30 courier forms, his hands were sore from writing. At the final settlement, the courier fee cost several hundred yuan.
“Finally finished.”
Chen Xu stood up, and Luo Xiyun, who was beside him, carefully wiped the sweat off his forehead with a tissue in his hand.
Several men around who were waiting to receive the express delivery were stunned by her actions.
Chen Xu noticed the gazes around him, but didn't care. After he started dating Luo Xiyun, he felt similar gazes every time and he was used to it.
Luo Xiyun apologized, "I didn't expect it would be so troublesome. I wouldn't have bought a gift if I had known."
"This is also a token of your kindness. Now, all my relatives know that I have a girlfriend who is beautiful, rich, and generous."
Chen Xu smiled. At this time, his cell phone rang again. He picked it up and said, "Look, my second aunt is asking me if I'm getting married again."
"Otherwise, let's just go with the flow and get married."
Luo Xiyun blushed and said, "You wish. Don't forget, you haven't passed my test yet. You are still just a potential boyfriend."
Chen Xu said with relief, "Well, I have finally made some progress and successfully became a potential boyfriend."
"I won't talk to you anymore. There are two more gifts to be delivered in the car. Let's go."
The two got in the car, and Chen Xu was still driving. He said, "Finally, only grandma and third aunt are left. It's 2:30 now. When we get to grandma's house, we can sit down and have a cup of tea. It won't be too late to come back later."
He was not in a hurry to see his grandmother. Before returning, he called his grandmother and his third aunt to explain the situation and asked them not to mention Yang Jinxia, and they all agreed.
Half an hour later, they arrived.
My grandmother and third aunt are still at home. My grandfather is no longer at home. My grandmother is usually alone at home, and my uncles and aunts are worried about her. They said that several children should take turns to stay at home with her, and the rotation takes place every month.
It’s just that everyone is busy, and my third aunt is relatively free at home, so the others paid her to take care of us.
Now, it is my third aunt who accompanies my grandmother almost all year round.
After Chen Xu introduced them, Luo Xiyun handed the gift over.
Grandma didn't want to accept it and said, "Oh, isn't this the wrong way around? You're giving me a gift, but I should be giving you one."
The third aunt took the gift, put it in her hand, and said, "This is a gift from young people, just accept it."
Only then did grandma accept it.
"Come, Xiyun, have a cup of tea." Third Aunt had already prepared the tea, and the smile on her face was particularly warm. "You are really thoughtful, preparing so many gifts. One look at your temperament shows that you are well-educated and well-mannered. It is really a blessing for Chen Xu to be able to pursue you."
Luo Xiyun sat next to Chen Xu and said shyly, "No, it's my luck that he is willing to be with me."
When Third Aunt saw her blushing face and shy eyes, and her deep affection that could not be concealed at all, she was almost stunned.
The four of them sat and chatted for a while. Seeing that the time was almost up, Chen Xu said, "Grandma, Third Aunt, I have to go. I have to go to my cousin's son's full moon banquet tonight."
Third Aunt stood up and said, "Okay, then drive carefully."
"Wait, don't leave yet, I have something for you." Grandma said, and she got up and went into the room, and came out with two things. She stuffed one of them into Luo Xiyun's hand and said, "This is for you, it's not expensive, keep it."
He handed the other one to Chen Xu, "This is the charger you left here during the Chinese New Year."
"No, I took my charger with me—" Chen Xu stopped talking halfway, coughed lightly, and said, "Well, grandma, you must have made a mistake. It belongs to someone else."
Grandma said, "That's right. During the Chinese New Year, only you and your uncles came back. I asked them all, and it wasn't theirs."
Third Aunt had already reacted and was about to speak when she heard Luo Xiyun say, "Let me see."
As she spoke, she took the charger over, took a look at it, and said, "It's definitely not his. This is a charger for an Apple phone, and he doesn't use this kind. It should belong to the girl who came with him."
Grandma suddenly realized, "That must be it."
For a moment, the atmosphere seemed to be frozen.
Chen Xu sighed in his heart. He knew that he couldn't blame his grandmother. She was old and her mind was a little bit dull. It was normal for her to let something slip without paying attention. It could only be said that Luo Xiyun's intuition was too sharp.
"Let's go."
In the end, it was Luo Xiyun who spoke first. Before leaving, she said goodbye to them, "Grandma, Third Aunt, goodbye."
After they drove away, Auntie San sighed, "Xiao Yang before and Xiao Luo now are not ordinary girls. I don't know where Chen Xu met them."
At this time, grandma also knew that she had said something wrong, and she was a little worried, "It's all my fault. Xiaoxu clearly reminded me. What should I do now? I hope we don't quarrel."
The third aunt comforted her and said, "It's okay. It's normal for a young couple to quarrel. I think Xiao Luo is a generous person and won't take it too seriously. After all, it happened in the past."
…………
While driving, Chen Xu observed Luo Xiyun's expression. Seeing her expressionless face, he couldn't help but feel a headache.
For some reason, he didn't dare tell her about Yang Jinxia.
Imagine if she knew what kind of woman Yang Jinxia was and he was the one being pursued, wouldn't she have some kind of association?
Maybe, his biggest secret will be exposed.
Precisely because he felt guilty, he didn't dare to explain many things, which made him seem even more guilty.
"So, you brought her to meet your grandmother?" Luo Xiyun finally spoke, and there was no emotion in his tone.
Chen Xu said with a stiff upper lip, "Yes. But my parents have definitely never met her."
After a while, she suddenly said in a dark voice, "Do you think I'm being unreasonable? You've already broken up with her, and I'm still angry with you because of her."
Without waiting for Chen Xu to speak, she continued, "But I just feel uncomfortable and angry. We knew each other first and were together first. I have been waiting for you. How could you be with another woman?"
Chen Xu was immediately speechless.
