Chapter 291 Getting into Trouble
Tang Jing and Xu Jiahui nodded in agreement.
"I even took my annual leave just to attend your wedding!" Tang Jing smiled shyly, looking much more cheerful than when she was in college.
Xu Jiahui sighed, "When you graduated from college, we asked you what your future plans were. You said you wanted to study abroad. We thought you would be the last one to get married among our group of sisters, but you didn't expect that you would be the first one!"
Chen Xinyue smiled shyly and said, "It's fate! By the way, did you meet Teacher An just now?"
"Of course! We're sitting at the same table. Teacher An told us about your romantic history with the groom. Seeing you so happy, I'm looking forward to love again!" Zhou Miaoqing said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
It was a rare opportunity to go back to school, so Zhou Miaoqing and the others did not plan to go back immediately. They all dispersed after agreeing on a time to meet up.
After the wedding, Xiao Jinlin took Chen Xinyue back to their home in the alley.
As soon as the two entered the door, the nanny came forward and said, "Sir, Madam, a driver delivered a bunch of things this afternoon, saying they were wedding gifts for you. They are all in the living room."
The two looked at each other suspiciously, and after entering the living room, Xiao Jinlin recognized at a glance that it was the Xiao family's stuff. Today, except for his biological father and mother and Xiao Jinchen and his wife, everyone else from the Xiao family was present.
He had already openly broken off relations with Xiao Jinchen, so it was impossible for him to take the initiative to make peace and send gifts. The answer was obvious.
Chen Xinyue also thought of the possibility and looked at Xiao Jinlin, "Do you want to open it?"
Xiao Jinlin picked him up and walked towards the bedroom, "Let's talk when we have time!"
No one can affect their good mood today.
The moment the bedroom lights go out, the beautiful spring scenery fills the room with joy.
Early the next morning.
The two came out of the bedroom and saw the gifts on the table again.
There is no excuse this time, so I have to take it apart.
A set of exquisite jade jewelry, which looked very valuable, and the rest were some wedding cakes and the like, as if it was some kind of custom.
Chen Xinyue didn't understand.
Xiao Jinlin pondered and said, "If you like it, wear it. If you don't like it, put it away."
Seeing that he spoke in a rare gentle tone, Chen Xinyue decisively put the jade bracelet on her hand.
The authentic imperial green bracelet makes her fair wrist look even more delicate and elegant.
"Look, it fits perfectly!" Chen Xinyue raised her arms with a look of surprise.
Seeing her happy, Xiao Jinlin started laughing too, "Let's go to the old house to have dinner with grandpa and grandma. We only need to go there today, and we won't have to go there often in the future."
Chen Xinyue knew the reason for meeting her husband's relatives on the first day of her marriage, so she quickly packed up and went out with Xiao Jinlin.
It's still chilly in spring, and it's still particularly cold in the capital. There's a hint that it's going to snow. She's wearing a red velvet cheongsam with a bright red coat on the outside, paired with exquisite red high heels. She's tied her ink-black long hair behind her head, and she looks fresh, dignified and beautiful.
Xiao Jinlin matched her and also wore a velvet Tang suit.
When the two of them appeared at the old house, Old Madam Xiao couldn't stop smiling, "Great! Seeing you two together makes me feel sweeter than eating honey."
Chen Xinyue stepped forward to support Old Madam Xiao, and the jade bracelet just happened to appear.
Madam Xiao was a little surprised, "This jade bracelet is..."
Chen Xinyue took a look at the bracelet and said, "Oh, someone sent it to Hutong yesterday, saying it was a wedding gift for us. Jinlin opened it this morning and found it was jewelry, so he asked me if I wanted to wear it. I thought it was pretty, but most importantly, it was expensive! So I wore it to show off."
Seeing her playful look, Madam Xiao was amused. "You have good taste. This bracelet is indeed expensive! But its significance is not in how expensive it is. I'm sure you can guess who gave it to you!"
Chen Xinyue nodded honestly, glanced at Xiao Jinlin, and answered in a low voice, "My mother-in-law."
Madam Xiao nodded slightly and said thoughtfully: "If I'm not mistaken, she should have given you a complete set of jewelry, including necklaces, bracelets, egg-shaped rings, peace buckles, earrings, etc., right!"
"That's right." Chen Xinyue nodded repeatedly, a little curious.
Madam Xiao raised her lips and fell into memories, "Your mother-in-law's surname is Mu. The Mu family is different from the Xiao family. It is a serious scholarly family with a deep family background. Naturally, their background is not comparable to that of ordinary families.
When she married Jinlin's father, her dowry was prepared according to the standards of ancient wealthy families, with things like a step-out bed, a barrel for descendants, etc. I heard that it was prepared for her by her family since she was a child, and it was very particular.
This set of jewelry was brought over from the Mu family. I heard that it was given to her by her grandmother and is a treasure that can be passed down as a family heirloom.
At that time, they didn't dare to be high-profile. I saw your mother-in-law wearing this set of jewelry a few times, and she only took it out of the safe for important occasions. I thought she would keep these things until a hundred years later, but I didn't expect that she would give them to you!"
Chen Xinyue then realized that she had worn an antique and she felt terrible. "Grandma, I have to be careful about this. I will put it in the safe immediately after I go back and not let anyone touch it."
"Hahahaha." Old Madam Xiao laughed again.
Old Mr. Xiao also laughed as he watched, "Your grandma really likes Xinyue as her granddaughter-in-law. When you have time off in the future, remember to bring her back to have dinner with your grandma."
"Grandpa, I will." Xiao Jinlin answered obediently.
Mr. Xiao nodded with satisfaction and continued, "As for your parents, your grandmother and I have forbidden them from attending your wedding this time. This is also a punishment for them. We cannot interfere with what you do in the future. I just want to tell you that life is only a few decades long. Being happy is the most important thing. There is no need to keep competing with them."
Xiao Jinlin slowly lowered his eyelids, "Grandpa, I know."
The two talked for a while, and Xiao Sheng's family also arrived.
Xiao Jinlin and Chen Xinyue served tea to their elders in a serious manner, and stayed in the old house for a meal before going back.
The next day, Chen Xinyue and Xiao Jinlin were going to the Chen family's place, and they invited Tang Jing and the others to visit the Chen family.
Ever since Chen Xinyue's wedding date was set, Chen Wenjun and Lin Qin renovated the house that originally belonged to Chen Xinyue. Now this house is under Chen Ruiyu's name, and Chen Ruiyu's house has become Chen Xinyue's.
The Chen family was different from the Xiao family in that they were very particular. As soon as the two entered the door, they heard lively conversation coming from inside.
Lin Ying kept talking about the weather in the capital, and scolded Xu Jian and Xu Kang, "You are so old, but you don't want to find a partner or get married, and you are still playing in the snow outside like children. It's really infuriating!"
The Xu brothers, who had been despised by Lin Ying as worse than dogs, had long been immune to it and continued to work hard on making snowmen and having snowball fights like children who had never grown up. Once they got addicted to the game, they gradually became serious.
The two sides formed two teams to fight. Snowballs flew around in the yard, and accidentally knocked down Tang Jing who had just entered the door.
Tang Jing screamed, attracting everyone in the room to come out.
