Chapter 104: A Strong-willed Cousin
As soon as my aunt came in, she was smiling.
"Sui Sui, my wife, when she heard that her niece and her husband were coming back, she insisted that I come over to see them, saying that she wanted to come over to her house for dinner in the evening."
The words were addressed to Zhu Suisui, but his eyes were looking at Lu Lanxu.
When Hu Shulan saw Lu Lanxu, she couldn't help but sigh that he was really a handsome man. Not only was he good-looking, he also came from a good family and he himself was very capable.
I heard that they are all high-ranking officials now.
Such a good person was matched with the sickly guy from the Zhu family.
Zhu Suisui is not as good as her daughter, but she has taken advantage of him.
Thinking about it, Hu Shulan felt a little jealous.
But he didn't show any of it on his face.
See who's coming.
Lu Lanxu did not answer the other person immediately, but looked at Zhu Suisui.
Lu Lanxu knew only a little about the Zhu family's situation, roughly that her mother-in-law was actually adopted.
This so-called aunt-in-law is not his biological daughter. Who knows what her relationship with the Zhu family is like? He has to see Zhu Suisui's attitude.
Zhu Suisui looked indifferent, as if he was not willing to pay attention.
She shouted, "Thank you, uncle and aunt. I won't go out for dinner. Everything has been arranged at home."
Just this one sentence.
Lu Lanxu knew what it meant.
He took Zhu Suisui's hand, wanting her to sit down, and then greeted everyone.
Quite cold.
Hu Shulan didn't care. She sat opposite the two of them and said with a smile, "Then wait until you are free. Your uncle and I are at home anyway. But you didn't tell us you came back, and we didn't know until now. Otherwise, my husband could have come to pick you up. Sui Sui, your uncle also said that if you can't stay here, you can stay at our house."
Zhu Suisui said no.
Go live at Hu Shulan's house, unless she is crazy.
Her eldest uncle and his family never treated her well when she was a child and always looked down on the Zhu family.
Zhu Suisui had no feelings for them.
Zhu Suisui found it strange that he suddenly came to her house.
What's more, the person who needs more care now is Xu Rongrong.
Zhu Suisui simply asked, "Aunt, you are really warm-hearted. By the way, how is my aunt? Is she okay now? How is Rongrong?"
Hearing this.
Hu Shulan's smile froze.
How would she know what happened to Xu Rongrong?
After seeing Zhu Suisui and Lu Lanxu coming back, she told her husband Xu Chengcai.
Although Xu Chengcai is the eldest in the family, he is the first child in the family and is very much loved by the elders. He has never acted like a big brother since he was a child. All the good things were given to him, which cultivated his food-guarding nature.
He will only take care of it if it involves his interests, but if it has nothing to do with him, he will ignore it.
Now that Xu Rongrong's business has failed, Xu Chengcai is getting anxious and angry.
Fortunately, Lu Lanxu came.
Xu Chengcai said in a deep voice: "The Chen family's marriage is not going to happen. Rongrong has gone to the village chief again. We can't make a fuss. We have to find another way."
Afterwards, he set his sights on Lu Lanxu.
Xu Chengcai quickly asked Hu Shulan to invite people to dinner.
During the whole process, she never thought about going to see how Xu Rongrong was doing. Now that Zhu Suisui asked her about it, Hu Shulan had no idea what to say.
She laughed, "It's OK to be with the village chief. By the way, why did you come back so suddenly this time? Did Lan Xu have any job changes?"
This question is a bit personal.
Zhu Suisui frowned slightly. In fact, he didn't want to deal with these relatives with whom he had a distant relationship in front of Lu Lanxu.
But there was nothing I could do about it, Hu Shulan kept asking questions.
Zhu Suisui felt very annoyed. She said calmly, "I came back whenever I wanted. There's no reason for that."
Seeing Zhu Suisui like this.
Hu Shulan was not very happy.
This sickly girl, if she wasn't lucky, she wouldn't have had the chance to marry into the old city.
Now that she's married to a good man, she's in a good mood when she returns to her parents' home. She even speaks to her elders in a rude manner. I don't know what she's basing this on.
If it weren't for her daughter, Hu Shulan really didn't want to come here.
She was calm and looked at Lu Lanxu, saying, "Lanxu is in Sijiu City now. My daughter Xia Yan was also admitted to Sijiu City a few months ago. I told her that if she had any problems, she could go to her cousins and their husbands. When she is alone, it is better to rely on relatives than friends. But Xia Yan said that she would try to figure things out in school first and would not bother you. My daughter is too down-to-earth. There is no such thing as trouble or no trouble among relatives. Isn't it like this?"
Oh no.
This finally gets to the point.
Zhu Suisui felt that Hu Shulan must have come here to ask for something.
Now it seems that he came here just for Xu Xiayan.
Zhu Suisui didn't know much about her cousin. She only knew that she was admitted to a university in Beijing. Although it was not Peking University or National Tsinghua University, it was still a good institution.
Of course.
A college student who can come from a rural area is unique no matter where he or she is admitted.
This is enough to illustrate Xu Xiayan's own efforts.
However, according to the memory of the previous life, Xu Xiayan never came to see him.
She was not familiar with Xu Xiayan, and knew a lot of things about her from her family.
All I know is that she later did well in Beijing. She majored in history and won many awards at school. Later, she worked hard to be admitted to the history graduate school of Peking University. She also followed a very good tutor, published several history articles, and became a little famous in this circle. After graduation, she passed the test and stayed in the school as a tutor.
Later, Zhu Suisui heard that she had also stepped into the antique business and made a fortune for herself. Whichever way you look at it, it was a remarkable comeback.
After hearing what Hu Shulan said, she said, "Since my cousin said so, then you should listen to her. Besides, my cousin is so amazing that she was able to get into college by herself. She must be able to adapt to the new environment on her own."
Hu Shulan was rebuked again and could no longer control her emotions. She frowned and said, "Sui Sui, you are too independent. You are now married to a wealthy family, and your cousin has been admitted there. Now is the time for you two sisters to help each other, don't you think?"
This time, Zhu Suisui didn't wait for him to speak.
Lu Lanxu looked at Hu Shulan and said in a colder tone, "We have a lot of relatives in our family. If Sui Sui wants to get any help, she doesn't need to rely on others."
Speaking of this.
He paused, and then said, "I just found out that Sui Sui's cousin told her family not to bother us. It seems that the person who wrote to me before was not my cousin. I guess someone pretended to be her."
As soon as these words came out.
Zhu Suisui was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked at Lu Lanxu.
So, in her previous life, I always thought that my cousin had never come to see me. Was that because she went directly to find Lu Lanxu?
