Chapter 26 Xu Family History
When I went upstairs, Xu Heyi was appreciating paintings with the old man.
Jiang Nuanzhu also joined in and occasionally said a few words.
Soon it was lunch time, and the two men helped Mr. Jiang downstairs.
As soon as I walked into the living room, I heard Jiang's mother's slightly tough voice: "Didn't I tell Nuanyu that she likes shrimp and onions, and I asked you to make a Chinese toon omelet, but you didn't do any of them? Are you targeting me on purpose?"
Aunt Li whispered, "Madam, Miss Nuanzhu is allergic to shrimp and eggs. We don't have these dishes at home. If you had told me earlier, I could have prepared them in advance..."
Mother Jiang: "You mean if she can't eat it, then all of us can't eat it either?"
Li Ma said helplessly: "It's not that you can't eat it, the food has already been bought when you said that."
Mother Li had already started cooking at that time, so she couldn't just drop what she was doing and go buy groceries.
Jiang Nuanyu's coquettish voice rang out: "Mom, I don't care, I don't like any of these dishes, I just want to eat the dishes I like."
Mother Jiang turned her head, but because of the direction, she only saw Jiang Nuanzhu.
Her face was cold and full of disdain as she said, "You are still making a fuss during Qingming Festival and your ancestors are restless!"
Jiang Nuanzhu was stunned. She had never expected that the blame would fall on her. A hint of sarcasm appeared on the corner of her lips. "Yes, Mom. Why are you still making a fuss on Qingming Festival?"
Her tone was calm, yet full of sarcasm.
Jiang's mother never thought that Jiang Nuanzhu would speak to her like this. She felt suffocated for a moment, and there was a surge of anger in her chest.
Before Mother Jiang could think of any curse words, she heard Old Man Jiang lose his temper: "Why are you eating shrimp and eggs? Eat all of them vegetarian! If you can't eat it, get out!"
Mother Jiang was startled and saw Old Man Jiang and Xu Heyi at the corner. Her face looked uglier than ever.
"Dad, you're here too..."
"I'm not here, I'm dead!" Old Master Jiang waved his hand and walked towards the living room angrily.
Jiang Nuanzhu rushed forward to help the man, fearing that Old Man Jiang would get hurt by his anger.
It turned out that Xu Heyi had not left. When he turned around, he saw that Xu Heyi's breath was calm but cold, and suddenly he exuded an indescribable power, which was very captivating.
"Aunt Li, Nuanzhu is weak. From now on, try not to cook dishes that she is allergic to."
Aunt Li said respectfully, "I understand."
Xu Heyi turned his gaze and said to Jiang's mother, "If my little sister doesn't like it, I can prepare a table for her outside for every gathering in the future."
Jiang Nuanyu realized it later and said, "What do you mean? You let me go out to eat alone..."
Before he could finish, he met Xu Heyi's eyes which were too dark.
Jiang Nuanyu's heart skipped a beat, and she felt a chill running from the soles of her feet to her forehead. She didn't dare to say anything more.
Xu Heyi was obviously much younger than his father, but the power he released was so heavy that it made people feel breathless.
It was not until Xu Heyi turned and left that Jiang Nuanyu dared to breathe loudly.
When I turned around, I found that Jiang Mu's face also looked very ugly.
"mom……"
Mother Jiang gave her a deep look and said, "Nuanyu, don't mess with your sister in the future. Your brother-in-law...is not someone you can get along with easily."
This was the first time in Jiang Nuanyu's life that she heard her mother tell her not to provoke Jiang Nuanzhu.
…
After dinner, Jiang's father and mother took Jiang Nuanyu away first.
Jiang Nuanzhu and Xu Heyi accompanied Old Man Jiang for a long time before taking a car to Zhongming Temple.
In the car, Jiang Nuanzhu lowered his head: "Thank you for protecting me today at Jiang's house."
Xu Heyi said calmly: "You are my wife, if I don't protect you, who should I protect?"
Jiang Nuanzhu raised her eyes slightly, and her sparkling eyes met Xu Heyi's.
She suddenly said boldly: "Xu Heyi, has anyone told you that you are very manly when you say this?"
Xu Heyi's thick eyebrows moved slightly, and there seemed to be ripples in his eyes. "Mrs. Xu, what is manliness?"
"You understand it very well?"
When saying the last three words, Xu Heyi raised the ending tone slightly, as if his fingertips were lightly plucking the strings of a guitar, leaving a long lingering sound.
Jiang Nuanzhu was only brave for a moment, but after saying this, he became timid.
"I don't understand!" She lowered her head and said in a gentle voice.
Xu Heyi felt a slight itch on his fingertips and wanted to pinch her chin to make her look up at him, but he knew that this action was somewhat offensive.
After thinking for a moment, he restrained himself.
"Mrs. Xu was very good at arguing with people at the Jiang residence today. How come she's so well behaved now?"
Jiang Nuanzhu's ears turned red, "You don't like it?"
"No, I like Mrs. Xu who is very protective of herself."
Xu Heyi still couldn't control himself. He lifted Jiang Nuanzhu's chin with his bony fingertips. His narrow eyes drooped slightly and their eyes met. There was only each other in their eyes.
Xu Heyi said in a low voice: "I will also be unhappy if you are bullied."
Even if that person is her closest family member.
His slightly rough fingertips brushed across the corner of Jiang Nuanzhu's lips, and Jiang Nuanzhu felt numb all over as if she were being electrocuted.
She was startled and quickly retreated to the side, saying in a panic, "As long as you like it, no, I don't really like to offend people that much."
Xu Heyi chuckled softly, "Yeah, I like it."
I deliberately ignored Jiang Nuanzhu's next words.
Jiang Nuanzhu's cheeks flushed, her red lips were slightly pursed, and she turned her head to look out the window, pretending to be calm, but she was actually complaining in her heart.
Xu Heyi looks like an old cadre, but he is very good at saying seductive words.
Is this the legendary "sullen and reserved"?
When the car drove to Changlin Avenue, it encountered a traffic jam.
Jiang Nuanzhu felt a little carsick and leaned back in the car seat to rest.
In a daze, I suddenly heard Xu Heyi whisper, "Open the right window a little."
Jiang Nuanzhu's eyelashes trembled slightly. When she opened her eyes, she saw Xu Heyi took out a blanket from somewhere and was carefully covering her with it.
Their eyes met, and the car fell silent.
Xu Heyi spoke first: "Uncomfortable?"
Jiang Nuanzhu was quiet for two seconds before answering obediently: "A little."
"We'll be on the highway soon, and things will get better then."
Jiang Nuanzhu responded softly: "Yeah."
Just as he was about to close his eyes, the car body suddenly shook, Jiang Nuanzhu rushed out, and a loud noise sounded next to his ears.
Xu Heyi subconsciously pulled Jiang Nuanzhu into his arms, blocking her with his arms on the car seat.
After a moment, he asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"
Driver: "The car on the right overtook us and hit us. Mr. Xu, I'll get off and take a look."
Xu Heyi: "Yeah."
Jiang Nuanzhu raised her head from Xu Heyi's arms, looked out the window, a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes.
"Feng Nuan?!"
Xu Heyi's gaze followed her, his eyes calm.
Feng Nuan happened to turn her head and met Jiang Nuanzhu's gaze. There was no surprise in her eyes, but her already pale cheeks seemed even paler, as if she would fall down if the wind blew.
She avoided Jiang Nuanzhu's sight, opened the car door and got out.
Jiang Nuanzhu had a bad feeling when he thought about the fact that she was still pregnant.
Just then the driver came over and said, "Mr. Xu, the front of the car is scratched quite badly."
Xu Heyi looked at Jiang Nuanzhu: "Let's get off first."
After looking at the situation at the front of the car, Xu Heyi immediately called to re-arrange the car and stood on the roadside to protect Jiang Nuanzhu.
Feng Nuan said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I was in a hurry and didn't control the distance well..."
