Chapter 1961: Love for Zi Beiying
"Yes! Miss Zi is...Gu Ning's friend." Xu Qinying said. Originally, she wanted to say that she was Xu Jingchen's friend, but she felt it was inappropriate, so she said that she was Gu Ning's friend.
After all, Xu Qinying didn't know that the Xu family already knew that Xu Jingchen had someone he liked, and that the person was Gu Ning's friend. If she knew, she would certainly know that person was Zi Beiying.
Of course, if she knew about this, she would not say that Zi Beiying was the girl now, because she was afraid of embarrassing her. After all, except for Mr. Xu, no one else knew the name of the girl that Xu Jingchen liked.
"So you're Gu Ning's friend! The girl I just mentioned who saved me in the bathroom is this Miss Zi." Mrs. Xu said.
"So it was you who saved my aunt! What a fate." Xu Qinying said. This so-called fate naturally had a hidden meaning.
When Zi Beiying heard that the lady he saved was Xu Qinying's aunt, which meant she was Xu Jingchen's mother, he immediately became nervous.
She has always been a bold and reckless person. She would not be afraid even if she met someone of noble status. However, when facing the family of the person she liked, she felt extremely nervous and could not control it.
"I just happened to meet you." Zi Beiying said a little embarrassedly. She also understood what Xu Qinying meant by fate, so she felt even more uncomfortable.
"No matter what, it's a fact that you saved me. Since you are Gu Ning's friend and also know Qin Ying, why don't we go have a cup of evening tea? Just as a thank you, how about it?" Madam Xu said. This was not a polite invitation, but a sincere invitation. However, she didn't want to embarrass her, so she added: "If it doesn't take up your time, I hope you won't refuse."
"This..." Zi Beiying was a little embarrassed. It was not that she was reluctant, but she just felt uncomfortable.
"Miss Zi, don't be embarrassed. If you have other things to do, we can make an appointment for another day. If you don't have anything else, we can go have some tea together. It's okay." Xu Qinying said.
Zi Beiying had nothing else to do, so she thought that if she left because she felt uncomfortable and made an excuse that she had something to do, it would not be good if they knew about it, so she thought, just go for it!
"I don't have anything to do, I just wonder if I might delay you." Zi Beiying said.
"We don't have anything to do, otherwise how could we be so leisurely!" said Mrs. Xu.
Then, Zi Beiying and her group followed Mrs. Xu and her group to the teahouse, because the teahouse was in the food court and only a few minutes' walk away.
On the way to the teahouse, they introduced themselves to each other.
"Where is Miss Zi from?" asked Mrs. Xu.
"I'm from the Empire of Xinlan, but my ancestral home is in the Empire of Dongxia." Zi Beiying said. When talking to Madam Xu, Zi Beiying couldn't help but be cautious, fearing that her attitude might be wrong.
"Do you come to the capital often? Or only occasionally?" asked Mrs. Xu.
"I only come here occasionally, because it's too far away, and people are worried about me leaving the country frequently." Zi Beiying responded. It was mainly because of her special status that her situation was more dangerous than that of ordinary people.
Upon hearing this, Madam Xu also expressed her understanding. Otherwise, why would she be accompanied by two bodyguards? It is indeed worrying for a girl to travel abroad.
Although Mrs. Xu has always been a talkative person, she is not one who likes to make friends easily. However, she talked a lot to Zi Beiying, whom she met for the first time.
Madam Xu Er felt that Madam Xu Da was abnormal today, and Xu Qinying looked at Madam Xu Da's different attitude towards Zi Beiying, thinking that if Brother Jingchen and Zi Beiying were together, the aunt would like it very much! The few people did not stay in the teahouse for too long, and they dispersed after about an hour.
On the way back, Xu Qinying asked Madam Xu, "Aunt, what do you think of Zi Beiying?"
"Very good, beautiful, elegant, and well-mannered, she has the demeanor of a rich daughter." Mrs. Xu said. She praised Zi Beiying generously.
After that, Madam Xu suddenly sighed, "Although I don't know what kind of person Zi Beiying is, she seems to be quite likable. For a moment, I wanted to ask her if she has a boyfriend! But then I remembered that your grandfather said that your second brother already has a girl he likes and is pursuing her, so I decided not to ask. It would be useless to ask anyway, and it would seem disrespectful to anyone."
"Second brother, do you have a girl you like? Are you still pursuing her? Who is she?" Xu Qinying was surprised when she heard that, and then asked excitedly. She felt that the girl might be Zi Beiying, because apart from Zi Beiying, she had never seen Xu Jingchen treat any girl specially!
"Neither your grandfather nor your second brother said anything. Your grandfather only said that the girl was in her early twenties, very beautiful and very elegant. Although we don't know her family background, her gestures and movements show that she doesn't come from an ordinary family. And your second brother said that he would tell me after it's done." Madam Xu said. When she mentioned this matter, Madam Xu felt very depressed.
Although she is not as good-looking and has a different family background, she should at least be allowed to take a look! "I think I know who that Gu Ning is." Xu Qinying laughed.
"What? Who is who?" Mrs. Xu asked anxiously when she heard it.
"She's in her early twenties, very pretty, full of temperament, and her every move doesn't seem like she comes from an ordinary family. Don't you think this description is very similar to Zi Beiying?" Xu Qinying said.
"What?" Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xu Da and Mrs. Xu Er were both very surprised.
Yes! These descriptions are indeed very similar to Zi Beiying.
"You mean, the girl your second brother likes is Zi Beiying?" Madam Xu asked, her face already showing joy. If it was Zi Beiying, that would be great. She liked the girl at first sight.
"I'm not sure, but I saw my second brother was quite nervous about her before. I even joked with him at that time! He said he might as well pursue Zi Beiying. But he said I was meddling, so I don't know if it was Zi Beiying." Although Xu Qinying felt that it was Zi Beiying, she didn't dare to be too sure, for fear of any accidents. If it wasn't Zi Beiying, it would be embarrassing.
"Why don't you go ask grandpa if the girl that second brother likes is called Zi Beiying. Since grandpa has seen that girl, even if he doesn't know her identity, he must know her name." Xu Qinying said, thinking it would be better to confirm it.
