Chapter 278 Change the time?
When Chen Xinyue came back from outside, she found that the receptionist looked at her differently. She was wondering about it, but when she got on the elevator and arrived at the office, she received everyone's attention.
Lin Fei quickly moved closer to her and asked in a low voice, "Xinyue, I heard that you and the boss are getting engaged! Congratulations."
"You all know about this?" Chen Xinyue was confused.
Lin Fei nodded frantically, unable to stop sighing, "I didn't expect that you would be the one to take down the boss in the end. It seems that our Xinyue is very powerful."
The Xiao family has an extraordinary background, and a woman who can get the Xiao family's approval must have a powerful background.
Chen Xinyue felt that everyone seemed to have misunderstood something, but she didn't want to ask the truth, so she just smiled.
Xiao Jinlin was very quick and contacted a private wedding photography studio in less than a week.
Nowadays, those who open such studios are all famous photographers and they charge a lot of money.
Xiao Jinlin made the decision without any hesitation, and even contacted the makeup artist in advance. Only then did he take Chen Xinyue to choose a wedding dress.
The two of them discussed it and even took a plane to a southern coastal city to take wedding photos.
It took a week to shoot more than a dozen sets of clothes.
When He Xue received the photo, she kept exclaiming in amazement and ran to share it with Old Madam Xiao.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Xiao Bai and his wife with Xiao Jinchen and his wife, but they didn't bring their children.
He Xue's expression paled a little. She ignored Guo Lingyue's greeting and sat down next to Old Madam Xiao.
Madam Xiao saw that she was dressed casually and scolded her, "Why didn't you call before coming here? Are you going to have dinner here with Ah Sheng tonight?"
"Mom! It's only what time now. I'm not here to eat for free!" He Xue pouted, her attitude very casual.
Mu Qinglian sat upright beside him, and it would be a lie to say she was not envious.
Both of them are Madam Xiao's daughter-in-law and have two sons. However, because her family is not as good as the Xiao and He families, she can never be as relaxed as He Xue in front of her mother-in-law.
Madam Xiao didn't care and asked, "Then why did you come here?"
He Xue opened her phone like she was presenting a treasure, "I've got something good to show you."
Madam Xiao quickly put on her reading glasses and saw the couple hugging each other sweetly in the photo. She smiled and said, "Wow! Where was this taken? Our Jinlin is so handsome! Xinyue is pretty too. They are a perfect match."
He Xue nodded vigorously, "I think so too. They are in a coastal city in the south right now. They will play for a few days and then go back to Anshi. They will come back when they are done. Mom, Jinlin means to arrange the engagement party on the second day of the twelfth lunar month. His company will arrange it, and we just need to be there then."
Madam Xiao was very satisfied. "I trust him to do the job. That's it."
Xiao Bai looked unhappy, and couldn't help interrupting the two women who were talking, "Mom, why didn't you discuss such a big thing as Jinlin's engagement with us? We were originally planning to take our granddaughter out for medical treatment during that time. Can we change the time?"
He Xue was unhappy. "Brother, what you said is wrong. My parents have already discussed it with the Chen family. What will they think if we suddenly change the date for nothing important? If you really can't be there, it's fine. Asheng, my parents and I can also attend. Jinlin won't say anything."
Xiao Bai's face froze, and he hurriedly explained, "Sister-in-law, that's not what I meant. We didn't expect Yuanyuan's condition to be so serious."
Guo Lingyue's eyes were red and tears were falling.
Madam Xiao's face fell when she saw her like that.
He Xue knew the old lady's thoughts best. She rolled her eyes and said, "Brother, you also said it was an emergency. You just need to deal with it. There is no reason to continue to wrong Jinlin and ask him to change the date of the engagement, right?"
Xiao Bai's lips moved, he felt extremely embarrassed and couldn't utter a word.
Mu Qinglian lowered her head and clenched her hands.
Madam Xiao waved her hands impatiently, "Alright, decide your own affairs. I know about this, so go back."
Seeing his mother's attitude, Xiao Bai felt very disappointed. He wanted to say something, but his mother didn't want to pay attention to him. So he could only leave with his family in shame.
As soon as they left, Old Madam Xiao snorted in dissatisfaction, "What a mess! You said the child was sick and no one was left at home to look after him. You all came to me. What? Can an old woman cure the child?
Jinchen is the same. He just saw his parents in such an awkward situation but didn't take the initiative to help them out. He just stood there like a pouting gourd. It makes me angry just looking at him!"
Old Madam Xiao and her husband were not satisfied with the eldest grandson of the Xiao family. They thought that he was not tactful enough and was a bit willful and petty. Since they did not live together and the eldest son and his wife protected him, the old couple did not like to say anything. But now, they are becoming more and more dissatisfied and want to find fault with him everywhere.
He Xue echoed, "That's right! Especially Guo Lingyue, she was fine when I came, but she started crying like a little wife right after I sat down and said a few words. What happened? Did I bully her? What the hell! It's so unlucky."
Madam Xiao knew that He Xue was dissatisfied with Guo Lingyue. Thinking back to the scene just now, she couldn't say anything against her will even if she wanted to smooth things over. She could only sigh and said, "Forget it, let them be. Anyway, your father and I don't count on them."
In the eyes of the old couple, the eldest son is good at maintaining the status quo but not at exploring new things, and his style of doing things tends to be conservative. This is probably how it will be in the future. The eldest grandson was raised by the eldest son, so there will be no surprises.
On the contrary, the younger son is more courageous, has a lively mind, is worldly-wise, and has some abilities. He will definitely achieve more than the eldest son in the future. The two grandsons are both top students, so there is no need to worry as long as their parents are around.
The second grandson is a very successful businessman and his net worth has reached a certain level. Even if he does nothing in the future, he will not be short of money and can live a carefree and comfortable life.
No matter how you look at it, they are less of a worry than the eldest son and grandson.
He Xue didn't want to cause trouble for Madam Xiao, so she quickly changed the topic to the wedding photos.
Guo Lingyue, who had already gotten into the car, was still upset about what had just happened. She couldn't help but look at Mu Qinglian, "Mom, when did my brother-in-law discuss marriage with Miss Chen? Why didn't he tell us?"
Mu Qinglian's face didn't look good, but she explained, "The Chen family came over during the National Day holiday, and everyone met. It was decided at that time."
Guo Lingyue's eyes flickered slightly. She glanced at her indifferent husband beside her, then looked at her parents-in-law, and her heart couldn't help but sink a little.
When she got home, she hid in her room and cried.
Seeing her like that, Xiao Jinchen frowned unconsciously, "Why are you crying?"
Guo Lingyue raised her tearful face pitifully, "Don't you want me anymore? Don't my parents want me as their daughter-in-law anymore?"
"What are you thinking about?" Xiao Jinchen sat down.
Guo Lingyue felt more and more aggrieved. "You all knew about your brother's engagement, but you kept it a secret from me. You don't consider me a family member. I thought if I gave birth to a child for you, you would really accept me, but it turned out that I was just being self-indulgent."
