Chapter 291: Unkind Visitors
I can understand.
Aunt Yang has always hoped that Xu Zhengnan could return to the Xu family and fulfill his father's last wish.
So the first thing to do is to ease the relationship between him and the Xu family.
When Aunt Yang and I went to the Xu family's old house to deliver nutritious meals, we met Xu Xiangdong. He treated us very badly. It is conceivable that he must have been very repulsive to Xu Zhengnan.
It was rumored that he wanted to have another son through test tubes, but failed for various reasons, so he was hostile to Xu Zhengnan.
If he, the eldest son of the Xu family, could have a son, Xu Zhengnan would have no place to play. Such a huge fortune would have to be given to Xu Zhengnan in the end. It was unpleasant to think about it.
I didn't expect that Xu Zhengnan's aunt was much better and agreed to come for dinner so easily. It was normal for Aunt Yang to agree immediately.
"Li Yue needs to rest. We are not familiar with her, so it is not convenient for her to come to our house for dinner. Let's go out for dinner." Xu Zhengnan refused slightly coldly.
"I have bought the vegetables and I plan to cook myself. The last time you and your aunt had a meal together was on your twelfth birthday. It's nice to have a meal together at home as a family. It's not as warm to eat out..." Aunt Yang tried to persuade Xu Zhengnan.
I agreed, "Yes, let's eat at home. I haven't met my aunt yet, so this is a good opportunity to meet her."
Seeing that I had no objection, Xu Zhengnan frowned and said nothing more, which was considered as his agreement.
Aunt Yang was very happy. She called the nanny to go to the kitchen and started cooking. I looked at the time and it was already 7:30 in the evening.
I'm going to change my clothes because I'm going to meet Xu Zhengnan's aunt, so I have to pay attention to my image.
After changing my clothes, I opened the curtains. I don't know why, but I always felt like someone was staring at me. I glanced out the window. The buildings here were very wide apart, with a green belt in the middle and tall trees blocking my view. Plus it was night, so I could hardly see what was happening in the building opposite.
My sensitive intuition told me that the feeling of surveillance came from outside the window.
Just when I was feeling puzzled, a spot of light suddenly flashed, like some kind of laser light sweeping over, and the source was the building opposite.
I closed the curtains again, feeling uneasy.
I thought Lu Xiaoyun lived here, maybe in the building opposite? Is she spying on me?
Just as I was about to go to the living room, I received a WeChat message from Shen Yixiao, which was a photo.
The photo shows a windowsill. When I zoomed in, I could see that the curtains were closed. I compared it with the curtains in my own bedroom, and my heart sank.
It seems that my guess was correct. If the photo just now was not sent by Shen Yixiao, then it was sent by Lu Xiaoyun using his mobile phone.
"What's wrong?" Xu Zhengnan pushed the door open and asked when he saw me staring at my phone.
"Look at this." I showed Xu Zhengnan the photo on my phone. "There was a flash of light just now."
After Xu Zhengnan looked at the photo, his expression changed immediately. "It should be the building opposite. I'll go check it out."
I quickly grabbed him and said, "Let's ask the property management to check it out. Don't go. I'm worried about the danger."
“I just had someone check the building and room number where Shen Yixiao and the others live. It’s in the building opposite.” Xu Zhengnan’s words undoubtedly confirmed my guess.
It is normal for Lu Xiaoyun to do some abnormal things now that she is mentally stimulated.
I was wondering whether I should move directly as Xu Zhengnan suggested, when Aunt Yang came to tell us that Xu Zhengnan's aunt had arrived.
I sorted out my feelings and said to Xu Zhengnan, "Let's eat first."
Xu Zhengnan took my hand and walked into the living room. His aunt had already arrived and brought her husband and two children. The family was sitting in the living room chatting.
"Aunt." Xu Zhengnan greeted her politely.
Xu Zhengnan's aunt turned her head and looked at us. I was about to say hello when I was stunned.
Because I know her.
In the past, I would occasionally follow Shen Yixiao to some business activities. One time, he had dinner with Xu Zhengnan’s aunt and uncle. Because it was a cooperation with a company under the name of Xu Zhengnan’s uncle, we did not recognize Xu’s aunt.
Xu Zhengnan's aunt is named Xu Wanting. When she looked at me, her eyes changed obviously.
Then she responded to Xu Zhengnan with a smile, "Zhengnan, why don't you introduce your girlfriend to us?"
"This is my fiancée, Li Yue," Xu Zhengnan briefly introduced her, then said in a gentle voice, "Li Yue, this is my aunt and uncle."
I was in a state of confusion, but I remained polite and calm, smiling and saying hello, "Aunt, Uncle, hello."
Xu Wanting's smile faded a little, and she nodded slightly at me as a response. Then she asked Xu Zhengnan casually, "I heard that you proposed to her. Are you engaged?"
"Not yet." Aunt Yang answered for Xu Zhengnan, "They plan to get married right away."
There was something strange in Xu Wanting's eyes. She picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. She smiled and said, "According to the rules of our Xu family, before the engagement, she is a girlfriend, not a fiancée."
The smile on my face faded a lot. This aunt seemed gentler than that cold-blooded uncle, but she was not easy to get along with.
What she said was deliberately directed at me.
It was obvious that she, like everyone else in the Xu family, did not accept or agree with me.
Aunt Yang didn't expect Xu Wanting to say that. Her face changed. "Wanting, Xiaoyue is already pregnant, and they are discussing the wedding date. Whether it's a girlfriend or a fiancée, they will eventually become husband and wife."
Xu Zhengnan's expression turned cold, and his previous politeness disappeared. "Are you here to eat? If you are here to find fault, you can leave. I won't keep you."
He held my hand and looked at Xu Wanting coldly, "If Li Yue hadn't agreed to this meal, I wouldn't have invited you to come."
Xu Wanting didn't expect Xu Zhengnan to defend me so straightforwardly. She felt a little embarrassed, but she forced a smile. "Zhengnan, I was just saying this casually. When your mom and dad were together, this was the rule at home. A girlfriend is a girlfriend, a fiancée is a fiancée, and a wife in the future is another matter."
"Aunt, let's eat first." I interrupted Xu Wanting because if she continued, Xu Zhengnan would really get angry.
Aunt Yang was looking forward to this meal, and I didn’t want to mess it up and put her in a dilemma.
Xu Wanting knew to go down the stairs and didn't continue this embarrassing topic.
We went to the dining table to eat. On the table was a large table of dishes made by Aunt Yang herself. It was very sumptuous.
Xu Wanting and her family enjoyed the meal very much and praised Aunt Yang generously, which eased the originally tense atmosphere a little.
Suddenly, Xu Wanting looked at me and said, "Ms. Li, I remember having dinner with you once before. Your ex-husband said you didn't like this dish, and he even picked it out for you bit by bit. It seems that pregnancy changes one's appetite."
