Xu Yanfeng drove out while looking at the rearview mirror and asked Xia Xi, "Is your brother-in-law's cousin a real cousin?"
"...Ah? Cousin is cousin, so what's the point?" Xia Xi tilted her head and stared at him. He wasn't one to meddle in other people's business, so there must be a reason for asking this. "Why do you say that?"
Xu Yanfeng smiled silently and shook his head, perhaps he was overthinking it.
In another car, Miao Yijia was also curious about Xia Xuan's sister and brother-in-law. Because she was carsick, she sat in the passenger seat, the side window half-down. The breeze lifted her sleepiness, and she chattered non-stop: "Did my cousin's sister and brother-in-law get married young? Their children are already so big. What do they do for a living? They look like they're rich. Especially that brother-in-law, he's so impressive. He must be an executive at some company."
Xia Xi and Xu Yanfeng's past was quite complicated. Chen Songbai didn't know much about it, and he wasn't sure if he could tell anyone about it, so he threw the question to his wife: "Don't ask me, ask your cousin's wife."
He glanced at Xia Xuan in the rearview mirror and gave her a pleading smile.
Miao Yijia immediately turned around, put her hands on the back of the seat, and said innocently: "Cousin, please tell me."
Xia Xuan gave Chen Songbai a glare through the rearview mirror, and he would use her as a shield. Chen Songbai smiled deeply, looked away, and concentrated on driving.
"Cousin, I'm really curious." Miao Yijia pinched her throat and said coquettishly, "Can you tell me about it?"
Xia Xuan couldn't handle it anymore. Goose bumps broke out on both arms. She couldn't possibly tell Miao Yijia the whole story, so she simply said, "They've been together since college. My sister co-founded a renovation and design company, and my brother-in-law is the president of the Xu Group."
"Xu Group?!" Miao Yijia's eyes widened and her voice rose, "President?!"
It was natural to guess at once how many Xu Groups there were in Nancheng.
Xia Xuan pursed her lips and nodded. She didn't find it strange that she had such a reaction. Any normal person would be surprised to hear Xu Yanfeng's identity.
Miao Yijia patted her chest, which was heaving violently, and after a moment's pause, she said, "I heard my aunt talking about your family before, and it seemed like she said your second sister got pregnant before marriage. I haven't heard that she's married yet?"
Chen Songbai's face suddenly changed and he coughed to remind her not to talk nonsense.
Xia Xuan frowned and didn't answer her.
Chen Songbai: "Jia Jia, don't listen to my mom's nonsense. People their age, when they get excited about chatting, will tend to get exaggerated and dramatic. I think you should know that."
Miao Yijia smiled awkwardly and apologized to Xia Xuan: "I'm sorry, cousin, I spoke too quickly and didn't mean anything else. Please don't be offended. Maybe I misheard, or maybe my aunt didn't understand clearly."
