Xia Ying nodded, "Okay, go ahead."
Xu Tao jogged into the living room. "Mom, you wanted to see me?"
Xu's mother glanced in the direction of the bedroom and said in a low voice, "Come with me."
Xu Tao followed in his mother's footsteps.
The two went to the study.
Mrs. Xu lowered her voice and said, "What's wrong with you? Now that you're married, why don't you let her invite Mrs. Shen to our house as a guest?"
The matter of arranging a marriage between children should be done while the iron is hot.
Although Xia Ying is not pregnant yet.
But the sooner it's settled, the more at ease they'll feel.
after all.
There are countless people outside watching this arranged marriage!
What if someone else beats them to it?
Xu's mother was already quite impatient.
Xu Tao glanced in the direction of the doorway.
Mrs. Xu narrowed her eyes. "Don't worry, your father is watching over her. If she suddenly comes over, he will definitely give us a heads-up."
Xu Tao then spoke up, "Mom, do you think Mrs. Shen is an ordinary person? She's testing our family right now!"
Is this a test for their family?
Mother Xu looked puzzled. "How do you test me?"
Xu Tao recounted what had happened.
Hearing that Jiang Ning was testing them by mentioning her falling out with Xia Ying, Xu's mother was somewhat surprised. "This Mrs. Shen is really cunning!"
"After all, Mrs. Shen is a genuine lady of a wealthy family. Besides, not just anyone can get a marriage alliance with the Shen family. Mrs. Shen must be careful."
"Besides, so what if she's cunning? She has her schemes, but I have my countermeasures!" Xu Tao paused here, "This time, our family must perform well and try to arrange a marriage between our children and the Shen family as soon as possible."
Mrs. Xu nodded, "Don't worry, Tao Tao, I know what to do."
After the mother and son finished talking, Xu Tao went back to his bedroom and continued playing games.
A short while later, Xu's mother came in looking for Xia Ying.
"Xia Ying, do you have time now?" Although the door was open, Xu's mother still knocked on it tactfully.
“Yes, Mom!” Xia Ying looked up at Xu’s mother. “What can I do for you?”
Xu's mother nodded.
Seeing this, Xia Ying walked outside.
Upon entering the living room, Xu's mother grasped Xia Ying's hand, speaking with deep remorse, "Child, I've heard about what happened between you and your two friends from Tao Tao. I'm so sorry, I didn't know the situation during dinner and brought up your painful memories... I apologize, please don't blame me..."
Xia Ying never expected that Xu's mother would apologize to her because of this matter.
That's incredibly tactful!
Xia Ying couldn't quite describe how she felt.
Such a good mother-in-law as Xu's mother is hard to find even with a lantern, it's ridiculous that Ma Zhaodi would actually say such hurtful things about her.
Xia Ying was increasingly grateful that she had distanced herself from people like Jiang Ning and Ma Zhaodi.
"It's alright, Mom. You don't know the situation," Xia Ying said with a smile. "How could I blame you? Besides, it's not a big deal. Please don't take it to heart."
Mrs. Xu smiled with relief and continued, "Xia Ying, life is about constantly meeting new friends. Although that Miss Jiang is of noble birth, our Xu family has never thought of climbing the social ladder. I've already heard the whole story from Tao Tao, and this is not your fault at all!"
“A person should have ambition. You must not go back to apologize to Miss Jiang just because of her identity. Our family has no shortage of friends like that!”
Since Jiang Ning is testing them now.
Their most important task now is to do the opposite.
They wanted Xia Ying to tell Jiang Ning that the Xu family was a family of upright people who never curried favor with the powerful and wealthy.
Only in this way.
Jiang Ning then dispelled her suspicions about the Xu family.
Hearing this, Xia Ying felt even more certain that her choice was right. She nodded and said firmly, "Mom, don't worry, I will never break my principles and apologize to her because of her status! Since I chose to be with Xu Tao, I will always be loyal to him!"
