A tall young man walked in, carrying a lot of gifts in his hands. "Sorry, Uncle Xu, I'm late."
"Hey, you're here just like that. Why bring so many things with you? You're so polite! Please don't be so formal next time! Come on, come on, sit down."
Tan Hui handed the things in his hand to the housekeeper next to him and looked at the three girls sitting at the dinner table. Although he and Xu Jiahe had not seen each other for more than ten years, he could recognize who it was at the first sight.
His voice was as gentle as jade, "Jiahe, long time no see."
Xu Jiahe was still chewing food and didn't recognize who he was, so he was stunned for a moment.
Xu Hongyun quickly introduced him: "This is your brother Ah Hui! Didn't you always love to chase after him when you were little? Like a follower. After all these years, have you forgotten him?"
"oh……"
Xu Jiahe's reaction was too cold, but after hearing what her father said, she remembered.
When she was little, there was indeed a boy who was older than her who came to her house, but she was young at that time and was very afraid of insects. Tan Hui actually deliberately used insects to scare her and even scared her to tears.
Whenever she cried, she would have a runny nose, and her nose would always be bubbly. Unexpectedly, Tan Hui laughed at her again and said she was a snotty person.
She was so angry that she kept chasing him and wanted to beat him up.
So, Tan Hui is the blind date that grandpa invited?
Boring!
She would never marry a man who took pleasure in making fun of girls!
Tan Hui never dreamed that a joke he played when he was a child would make this young lady bear a grudge for the rest of her life.
Xu Hongyun laughed awkwardly twice. "Oh, they say girls change a lot when they grow up, and boys are almost the same. You are different now, you have grown a lot taller. Your father used to worry about you not growing taller!"
"I didn't expect that a short and fat guy could also undergo genetic mutation. What a miracle." Xu Jiahe said sarcastically.
This can be considered as revenge for the "slug" in my childhood.
Tan Hui chuckled twice, not too concerned about Xu Jiahe's attack. He just felt that she was still so childish and immature. If it weren't for her strong family background, it would be a disaster for anyone to marry a girl like this.
Xu Hongyun quickly tried to smooth things over, "Come on, come on, have a couple of drinks with me. Now, are you planning to stay?"
"It's still in the planning stage, but my mother's health has declined in recent years, so I want to spend more time with her. I don't think she'll pass away this year."
Tan Hui took the initiative to pour the wine, "Uncle Xu, this is a toast to you."
Xu Hongyun smiled and clinked glasses with him, "It's been years since we last met. Let me see how much you can drink! I won't go home until I'm drunk today!"
"Then you have to be more considerate of me. I can't drink as much as you can."
Beneath Tan Hui's gentle smile, his heart was always cold.
His father invited him back to his hometown on the pretext of his mother being ill, which resulted in him coming to the Xu family for a blind date. Although the Xu family's status was unattainable, if he could marry Xu Jiahe and become the Xu family's son-in-law, it would be a qualitative leap for both him and the entire Tan family.
only……
He never disdains to put his destiny in the hands of others.
He would rather give up this gigolo.
Xu Jiahe and the others did not drink any alcohol and planned to leave after the meal. She did not say a word to Tan Hui at all. However, Jiang Wanying and Li Wei, who were also "guests", politely drank a glass of tea with Tan Hui instead of wine.
"So you called us here today just to avoid the blind date!"
