Seeing this, Zhao Nianmeng quickly stepped forward and tried to smooth things over with a smile.
"Okay, the three of us have been very busy lately. Apart from having breakfast together in the morning, we haven't been together much."
"Let's eat first, let's eat, and not talk about outsiders."
Jiang Sheng could only nod, then glanced at Zhao Xuehui, whose expression seemed somewhat unnatural, and changed the subject accordingly.
"Exactly, why bring up outsiders when we're eating?"
As Jiang Sheng spoke, he personally poured a cup of tea for his second sister, Zhao Xuehui.
"But on another note, Second Sister, I've already told Eldest Sister about your July 1st Party Founding Day get-together."
"My older sister happens to be free that night, so I'll go with her to join in the fun!"
Zhao Xuehui was a very energetic person, and after Jiang Sheng changed the subject, she quickly focused her attention on the social gathering.
"That would be great!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuehui's eyes lit up, and she quickly smiled and took the arm of her older sister, Zhao Nianmeng.
"I was thinking that my older sister might have something come up and wouldn't be able to go, so it's good that she can go!"
The topic shifted, and no one brought up what had just happened anymore.
However, Zhao Xuehui would occasionally look in the direction not far away, seemingly looking around, but Jiang Sheng was actually well aware of what was going on.
He followed Zhao Xuehui's occasional glance and saw Zhou Changgui chatting and laughing with the family of three.
The little girl was especially happy, and the couple next to her toasted Zhou Changgui with a glass of wine.
They seemed to be having a good time, and there was nothing wrong with it.
As for Jiang Sheng, after looking away, he glanced at Zhao Xuehui, who was clearly distracted, and coughed lightly.
"Second Sister."
"What's wrong?"
Zhao Xuehui quickly snapped out of her daze, looked at her younger brother in front of her, and gave an unnatural smile.
"Is there anything I can help you with, young man?"
Jiang Sheng shook his head and coughed again.
"It's not that there's nothing wrong, but if you really want to talk to Teacher Zhou, Second Sister, you might as well just go over there."
"What are you saying?" Zhao Xuehui immediately retorted, "The three of us siblings are having a family gathering here. Why do you want me to go to their place?"
“So Second Sister knew this was a family gathering too,” Jiang Sheng said, pouting as he looked at Zhao Xuehui. His face flushed slightly, and he sighed with grievance. “But I noticed that Second Sister kept glancing over there. I thought she wanted to talk to Teacher Zhou and the others more.”
Jiang Sheng had hit a nerve, and Zhao Xuehui immediately realized that what she had just done was somewhat inappropriate. She then glanced at her older sister next to her, whose expression was not very pleasant.
She then apologetically took Zhao Nianmeng's arm: "I'm sorry, big sister and little brother, I was indeed distracted just now."
Zhao Nianmeng was already somewhat unhappy, but seeing Zhao Xuehui personally apologize to her, she sighed helplessly.
"Sigh, Xuehui has grown up and has her own worries now."
"If you really like Teacher Zhou, go back and get to know him better before making a decision."
Zhao Nianmeng's words were full of profound meaning, which made Zhao Xuehui pause for a moment before she realized what she meant.
Although she didn't quite agree with what her older sister said, Zhao Nianmeng nodded very seriously on the surface.
"I understand, sister. I will definitely investigate the other person's character carefully before making a decision."
"It's good that you can figure this out."
Zhao Nianmeng nodded, and seeing that the food was finally being served, she smiled and changed the subject.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore, let's eat."
The three of them stopped talking about what had just happened and chatted and laughed. Before they knew it, the conversation had turned to the social gathering on the night of the founding of the Communist Party of China.
"Let's wait until tomorrow," Zhao Xuehui said, glancing at her older sister and Jiang Sheng. "Tomorrow we'll go shopping and buy a few suitable dresses so I can look good!"
"That's right," Jiang Sheng chuckled, his face full of pride. "My two older sisters are so beautiful, and I, as their younger brother, am not bad either. Who knows, I might even meet a girl I like at the social event!"
"You're always just being cheeky."
Zhao Nianmeng smiled and looked at Jiang Sheng: "I didn't expect our little brother to be thinking about girls so early in college. He's really grown up!"
That's what she said, but even Zhao Nianmeng herself couldn't figure out what she really thought.
She felt a little unhappy, but before she could figure out why, Zhao Xuehui smiled and nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, yeah, he's still not satisfied with having two beautiful older sisters like us. He wants to flirt with other girls too. Honestly!"
After being teased by his two older sisters, Jiang Sheng shook his head helplessly.
"My two older sisters are beautiful, but I can't marry them both. Besides, even if I really had that idea, would you two agree?"
"disagree."
"disagree."
Zhao Nianmeng and Zhao Xuehui both refused Jiang Sheng in unison. The three of them then smiled at each other, and the atmosphere at the meal was quite harmonious.
Not far away, Zhou Changgui, sitting opposite the family of three, wore a warm and gentle smile as he responded to the words spoken by the wealthy woman in front of him.
"Ever since Teacher Zhou started tutoring us, our English has been getting better and better. Today, Teacher Zhou, please don't be shy and order whatever you want to eat!"
“Yes,” the middle-aged man nodded with a smile, “Teacher Zhou has really gone to great lengths these past few days. We are very pleased that Nian Nian’s English has improved.”
Even the little girl Xu Jianian next to her was giggling at this moment, her face full of youthful exuberance and liveliness.
"I didn't like English at all before, but thanks to Teacher Zhou's help, I think my English will definitely improve after school starts!"
Faced with the praise and gratitude from the family of three, Zhou Changgui's smile became even more humble.
"Mr. and Mrs. Xu are too kind," he said, then smiled and glanced at Xu Jianian sitting opposite him. "It's all thanks to Niannian's intelligence and understanding. Otherwise, no matter how much I taught her, she definitely wouldn't have been able to grasp it!"
That's what he said, but looking at the smiling girl in front of him, Zhou Changgui harbored filthy thoughts.
This young girl is eighteen years old, in the prime of her life, lively and adorable.
