Hou Guifang and Deng Zhiying waited and waited outside the clothing store, and finally Sheng Qian returned.
"Xiao Qian!"
Upon seeing Sheng Qian, Hou Guifang waved to her.
Sheng Qian was a little surprised to see the two of them, then quickened her pace and came over: "Aunt Fang, Third Aunt, what brings you two here?"
Sheng Qian had gotten used to calling Hou Guifang "Aunt Fang" and hadn't changed it yet.
Hou Guifang sometimes thinks that Sheng Qian calling her "aunt" is actually calling her "relative"!
Deng Zhiying looked Sheng Qian up and down again.
He is indeed handsome!
Moreover, he didn't look as gloomy as when we met before.
When Deng Zhiying first met Sheng Qian, she felt that the girl had a deep sense of melancholy that she couldn't shake off, as if she was tense and unwilling to open her heart!
“Yu Cheng and the others booked a table outside for dinner. Your third aunt and I came over to try our luck. We didn’t expect you to be back in just a few minutes,” Hou Guifang said, her smile fading slightly. She tentatively added, “Xiao Qian, we came over quite suddenly too. Would you like to have a meal with us? You haven’t met any of the younger members of your family yet. We’d like to take this opportunity to introduce them to you.”
“We’ve already booked a table and are just waiting for you,” Deng Zhiying added. “Let Yunting come along too.”
Before she had come to terms with it, Sheng Qian would definitely have refused such intimacy, but now that she had made up her mind, she immediately nodded and agreed: "Okay!"
"What did you say?" Hou Guifang thought she would have to explain herself, but Sheng Qian agreed immediately.
"Aunt Fang, I said yes, but you still won't take me to introduce myself to everyone?"
Hou Guifang smiled happily, "Of course not, Aunt Fang can't wait to introduce you to everyone! Let's go now, so as not to keep those kids waiting."
Sheng Qian pointed to herself and said, "Aunt Fang and Third Aunt, please wait a moment. I'll go inside and change my clothes before I come out."
“We’re all family, no need to change clothes,” Hou Guifang said, not thinking that Sheng Qian was dressed inappropriately.
It's clean and flawless, and very beautiful!
Sheng Qian pointed to the bicycle with amusement, "You have to leave the bike before you go."
The two exchanged a smile and said they would wait for her outside.
Sheng Qian quickly went upstairs to change her clothes, then told Sheng Ting, who was in the store, before getting into their car and heading to the Wangfu Hotel in Beijing.
In places like this, you can't get in without a certain amount of money and status.
“We’ve already called Yunting and told him you’ll be coming too. Normally, he wouldn’t even bother to join in. But today is different. As soon as we mentioned you, he readily agreed! He even told us not to bully you. Look how anxious he is!” Deng Zhiying said jokingly.
Sheng Qian felt a little embarrassed. "He went too far."
"Seeing you and Yunting doing so well makes me happy. This is the best way to do things," Hou Guifang said with a smile. She was genuinely happy for the young couple as their relationship grew stronger.
Afterwards, Long Yunting mentioned that Sheng Qian had secretly fed him Chinese medicine. Hou Guifang knew that her son's injuries were healed thanks to Sheng Qian, and her attitude towards Sheng Qian changed even further.
In fact, Sheng Qian saved Long Haifeng's life.
Both her husband and son's lives were saved by Sheng Qian. To Hou Guifang, Sheng Qian was not only her daughter-in-law, but also her savior!
She couldn't imagine what she would become after losing her husband and son.
What impressed Hou Guifang about Sheng Qian was that she never took credit for anything and remained silent no matter who she saved.
If it were anyone else, they would be eager to announce on television that the Long family owed them such a great debt of gratitude.
In the large private room.
"Fourth Brother, do you think our Second Sister-in-law is being a bit too pretentious? I heard from Aunt that..." Before Long Bai'an could finish speaking, Long Hongwen's expression turned serious.
"Sixth Brother," Long Lannuo said, gesturing for him to stop talking, "my brother will be coming along later too."
Long Bai'an is only three months older than Long Lan'nuo, and they are currently attending the same high school.
He completely ignored Long Lanno's warning.
"Am I wrong? You're all so cautious and afraid to speak up, but I'm not afraid of that Sheng Qian. Isn't she just relying on my second brother's stubborn nature of not caring about anything and only listening to Grandpa? Otherwise, with her attitude, she would have been kicked out of the Long family long ago." Long Bai'an wasn't afraid of anyone present.
They say whatever comes to mind without hesitation.
“Actually, I think my second cousin’s wife is alright…” Zhou Zhuoru said softly.
“Auntie said that, how good can it be? We’ve been home for so many days, have you seen her come back to the Long family to greet the elders during holidays? The Long family elders invited her several times but couldn’t get her to come. She’s really putting on airs.” Long Bai’an smiled sarcastically: “What does it mean that she gave us clothes and gifts? I don’t think she treats the Long family as family at all.”
After that, no one spoke.
Long Hongwen was the oldest here, and upon hearing Long Bai'an's words, he was momentarily speechless.
Just then, the door to the private room was pushed open.
This broke the momentary dull atmosphere inside.
Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Deng Zhiying laughed and said, "What's wrong? What are you all standing there for? Your second sister-in-law is here, hurry up and greet her."
"Second Sister-in-law!"
"Second cousin's wife!"
Sheng Qian nodded slightly, "Hello!"
"Xiaoqian, sit over there," Hou Guifang pointed to the empty seat in front of her.
Sheng Qian sat down, and Long Bai'an sat opposite her, staring intently at her.
Sheng Qian could also sense that before they arrived, everyone must have talked about something related to her, and it wasn't a pleasant topic at all.
