Xia Xi recovered from her shock and greeted him slowly, "Ah... Hello, Auntie."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Xia Xi secretly regretted why he stuttered.
She had experienced many big scenes. For example, she had gone to meet Xu Guanshan alone twice, but she was not so nervous.
Zhong Yinghong was even more shocked than her. She raised the corners of her slightly stiff mouth and gave her a faint smile. Her eyes scanned her face several times, and doubts in her mind popped up one after another.
Who is this girl?
Why are you here with Xu Yanfeng?
Is she Xu Yanfeng’s girlfriend?
Why have I never heard him mention having a girlfriend?
Aunt Zhang remained calm and greeted Zhong Yinghong, "Madam, please stop standing at the door. Come in and sit down."
Zhong Yinghong let out an "ah" in a trance and walked in with her bag.
Aunt Zhang bent down and took out a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet for her, took the bag from her hand with both hands and put it away properly.
"What would you like to drink?" asked Aunt Zhang.
Zhong Yinghong: "I'm really thirsty. Please make me a cup of tea."
Aunt Zhang nodded and replied, "Please wait a moment. I'll make some tea right away."
"Let me do it." Xia Xi took over Aunt Zhang's job, picked up the tea can and walked aside.
Aunt Zhang was stunned for a moment, then quickly stepped forward to stop her: "How can I let you do that? You need to rest more..."
"I'm ready a long time ago." Xia Xi opened the lid of the tea can, picked up the tea leaves with bamboo tweezers and put them into the cup.
Aunt Zhang had no choice but to go and talk to Zhong Yinghong so as not to ignore her.
Zhong Yinghong stared at Xia Xi's figure and asked Aunt Zhang in a low voice, "Where's Xu Yanfeng?"
"He went out." Aunt Zhang had been in the kitchen making soup and didn't pay much attention to Xu Yanfeng's movements. "It seems he went to buy something."
Zhong Yinghong raised her chin slightly and pointed at Xia Xi: "Is that Afeng's girlfriend?"
Aunt Zhang was stumped and speechless for a moment.
It seems inaccurate to say that Xu Yanfeng and Xia Xi are lovers, and it is also wrong to say that they have no relationship.
Zhong Yinghong found Aunt Zhang's attitude puzzling and said unhappily, "You're hiding this from me too?"
"No, no." Aunt Zhang waved her hand and told the truth, "I don't know either. But Mr. Xu likes this young lady very much and treats her very well."
Xia Xi made a cup of tea and placed it on the coffee table in front of Zhong Yinghong: "Please have some tea."
She didn't know how to deal with Xu Yanfeng's mother. The only thing she knew about her was a few words from Xu Guanshan, saying that Mrs. Xu was in poor health and couldn't stand being bullied. Also, Xu Yanfeng had a very close relationship with his mother.
"Don't stand, sit down." Zhong Yinghong pointed to the seat next to her. "I don't even know how to address you yet."
Xia Xi sat down, a person's distance between them, and answered cautiously: "My last name is Xia."
Someone was chatting with Zhong Yinghong, so Aunt Zhang didn't stay and got up to go to the kitchen to busy herself.
"Miss Xia." Zhong Yinghong picked up the teacup, brought it to her lips and took a sip, her posture dignified and her manners elegant. "Are you dating Afeng?"
Since Aunt Zhang couldn't get the answer, she had to ask the person involved.
When Xia Xi was making tea just now, she thought that Zhong Yinghong might ask about her relationship with Xu Yanfeng, but she still hasn't figured out how to explain it. She and Xu Yanfeng had only dated before, and at present... it doesn't count.
The only reason she lived in Xu Yanfeng's house was because of the ridiculous condition he proposed.
Of course she couldn't talk about the contract with her elders.
"No." Xia Xi denied.
"Ah?" Zhong Yinghong didn't quite believe it and stared at her for a long time.
Xia Xi felt her scalp tingling. She also knew that this was hard to explain, after all, she was now wearing home clothes and appearing in Xu Yanfeng's private space.
"It's like this." Xia Xi lied to the person in front of him with a guilty conscience, "I was hospitalized a few days ago and haven't recovered yet. Mr. Xu is sympathetic to his employees, so..."
I can't make it up anymore, it sounds too outrageous.
Sure enough, Zhong Yinghong looked like she had just heard a joke: "Compassion? Employees?"
Xia Xi blushed with shame and wished she could find a hole to crawl into. She hadn't experienced such a helpless moment in many years.
Zhong Yinghong was very good at reading people's expressions. Seeing that she was a little embarrassed, she tactfully did not ask any further questions. She just followed her words and asked an irrelevant question: "Are you his employee?"
Xia Xi exhaled slowly: "Party B's employee."
Zhong Yinghong said "Oh" meaningfully, which means that the two of them met at work.
Ziheng finished his homework, took his workbook up the stairs, trotted over to Xia Xi, handed it to her for inspection, and then stared at Zhong Yinghong with a pair of big, bright black eyes: "Mom, who is this auntie?"
Zhong Yinghong's hand trembled and a few drops of tea spilled out. She opened her eyes wide and stared blankly at the child who appeared out of nowhere.
The child looked about five or six years old, with fair skin and a cute appearance.
Zhong Yinghong was shocked.
"He calls you mom?" Zhong Yinghong looked at Xia Xi in disbelief, pointing at Ziheng and asking her, "Is this your child?"
Xia Xi's heart trembled. She was caught off guard and saw Xu Yanfeng's mother. She was a little nervous and forgot that Ziheng was in the living room and should have hidden him.
Xu Yanfeng's family obviously didn't know about Ziheng's existence.
Xia Xi's face paled. She couldn't admit it, and she couldn't deny it. If she admitted it, if Xu Yanfeng's mother got upset and something happened, she wouldn't be able to bear the responsibility. If she denied it, what would Ziheng think, listening here without even discussing it with him beforehand?
Before Xia Xi could come up with a perfect answer, Ziheng tilted his head and said innocently, "Of course I am my mother's child."
