Chapter 124 Uninvited

I thought Lu Lanxu came back early.

But when Zhu Lechen ran out to look, he saw someone he didn't want to see.

The other person looked to be in his seventies, with short hair that was interspersed with countless silver threads. His triangular eyes were sunken with drooping eyelids, and his entire face was covered with wrinkles. He looked a bit mean in an indescribable way.

He subconsciously wanted to run.

But the other person smiled at Zhu Lechen, and the squeezed smile on his face made the wrinkles appear deeper, and he was missing a few teeth in his mouth.

"Xiaochen, are your parents here?"

The person who came was Xu Hui's adoptive mother, Mrs. Xu.

Zhu Lechen didn't like anyone in the Xu family, including this old lady Xu, but he couldn't help but feel that she raised his own mother. Zhu Lechen couldn't do anything to the old lady and could only say.

"Grandma, why are you here?"

Old Mrs. Xu put her hands behind her back and walked inside with a hunched back. "I heard that Miss Sui is back, so I came to see her."

He came in a hurry.

Zhu Lechen thought so in his heart. When the accident happened yesterday, Mrs. Xu did not show up. She told people that she was not feeling well and was frightened by the incident. Anyway, she did not show up the whole time.

I haven’t settled the matter of my granddaughter yet, but today I feel better and came to see Zhu Suisui.

Is this a sign of love for Zhu Suisui, your granddaughter?

Zhu Lechen curled his lips, naturally not believing it.

But Mrs. Xu had already walked in.

Hearing the noise outside, the Zhu family all stood up, and then saw the thin figure of Old Mrs. Xu appear in front of them.

Xu Hui was a little surprised, "Mom, why are you here?"

"Why, I can't come to you anymore?" Old Mrs. Xu glanced at Xu Hui.

When Xu Hui was told this, she subconsciously said, "That's not what I meant."

She was raised by Old Lady Xu. It was Old Lady Xu who wanted her because she thought she was infertile. She originally wanted to have a boy, but who wouldn't want a boy? She had no choice but to have Xu Hui, a girl. At the beginning, Xu Hui also enjoyed the love of her mother. After all, Old Lady Xu only had her as a daughter, so naturally she hoped that Xu Hui would be filial to her.

But she soon became pregnant, and Xu Hui's life became difficult from then on.

But Xu Hui was an honest person. It is said that the grace of raising a child is greater than the grace of giving birth to a child. The idea instilled in her by the Xu family was to dedicate herself to her parents and her younger brothers and sisters. It was not until her uncle Xu got married that Hu Shulan had ideas about this eldest sister as soon as she entered the family. She felt that Xu Hui was old and ate for free at home, so she instigated the Xu family to marry Xu Hui off so that the family could get some money.

After Xu Hui married into the Zhu family, she still thought about supporting her parents' family.

When Old Lady Zhu talked to her, her eyes turned red and she looked confused. She didn't think what she had done wrong. After all, this was how she had lived since she was a child.

It took a long time before Xu Hui began to feel a little disappointed.

But at this moment, when facing Old Mrs. Xu, that subconscious feeling came up again, and Xu Hui became a little timid.

Seeing her daughter-in-law being bullied, Mrs. Zhu looked unhappy. She glanced at Mrs. Xu and said to Xu Hui, "Hui Hui, go get your mother a glass of water."

Xu Hui sighed and hurried into the kitchen.

You still have to call Zhu Xingguo and his friends by their names, and don’t be impolite.

But one by one, they are not very welcome.

Seeing that all the Zhu family members were there, Old Mrs. Xu didn't bother to be polite and sat down on the seat. Then she looked at Zhu Suisui, examining him up and down.

That look made Zhu Suisui feel very uncomfortable.

His grandmother was always biased. Whether in his previous life or in this life, Zhu Suisui had no good impression of her.

Since she was a child, she would follow her parents to pay New Year's greetings. If there were any good things, she would hide them. She was reluctant to give even a candy to Zhu Suisui, let alone anything else.

Now that she came here suddenly, Zhu Suisui felt that it was most likely related to Uncle Xu.

Otherwise, Mrs. Xu would not have come here specially.

It's all for my dear son.

On this point, Zhu Suisui was right.

Old Mrs. Xu came here specifically because she was scolded and cried by her eldest son and daughter-in-law.

She was already quite old, but she didn't mind the hard work. When she arrived at the Zhu family, she started to act like an elder.

Seeing Zhu Suisui dressed like a city dweller, Mrs. Xu felt a little regretful.

It's not that he regretted not having a good relationship with the Zhu family, but he regretted marrying Xu Hui to him. If his little daughter had married Zhu Xingguo, then she would have married someone from a family like the Lu family. Wouldn't she be his granddaughter by birth?

Even if she was not her own little daughter, when Xu Hui knew that the Zhu family had such a marriage, why couldn't she think about her own brothers? Zhu Suisui was a sickly person. Apart from being good-looking, how was he better than her granddaughter Xu Xiayan?

Hu Shulan is right.

If Xu Xiayan married into the Lu family, that would be a perfect match. Her eldest granddaughter is a golden phoenix, a pillar of the country who has been admitted to university!

At least he's better than Zhu Suisui.

To be honest, Xu Hui is still ignorant.

As Old Mrs. Xu thought about this, a look of disgust appeared on her face.

Her expression was obvious, and old lady Zhu's eyes were like mirrors.

Mrs. Zhu took the initiative and said, "What's the matter with my mother-in-law's sudden visit? You see, our family has to be busy doing farm work in the afternoon, so we may not be able to entertain you."

"What's the big deal? This is my daughter's home, not her home for guests. I don't need to entertain them. I came here specially to see my granddaughter and her son-in-law." Old Mrs. Xu replied disapprovingly, then looked at Zhu Susui with a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone.

"Sui girl, you finally came back. Your aunt came to our house yesterday and wanted to invite you and Lan Xu to have a meal together. Why did you refuse? Both families are relatives. Now your sister Yanyan has arrived in Sijiu City. You two sisters must support each other. If it were you, you should bring Lan Xu home tonight to have a meal together. How could we not welcome you?"

As expected, he came here for Uncle Xu.

It seems that after Hu Shulan returned, she told Uncle Xu about the rejection. After discussing it, the couple went straight to find Old Lady Xu.

Mrs. Xu is the elder, and it is completely reasonable for her to invite her granddaughter to dinner.

If Zhu Suisui still refuses, I'm afraid Mrs. Xu will directly attack him, causing everyone in Happiness to come and laugh at the Zhu family's joke and point fingers at the Zhu family members!

Zhu Suisui was so angry that he laughed.

I have never been treated like this in my previous life. I can easily guess who the purpose is.

This was to force himself to bring Lu Lanxu to visit the Xu family.

But soon, Zhu Suisui calmed down.

If it was just for dinner, Zhu Suisui had already refused obviously. Anyone with a bit of worldly wisdom wouldn't even think of nagging her anymore. In that case, even if she agreed to go for dinner, it wouldn't bring them closer and would only annoy her.

But what does Xu family mean?

Why do you have to eat this meal?

Could it be that this meal has another meaning?
