Xia Wenxi remained silent, but the woman next to Yin Chengjing changed her expression, her beautiful brows furrowing together.
Of course, given the scene and Yin Chengjing's expression, it was hard not to misunderstand.
Xia Wenxi was helpless. What did this have to do with her? She should have just gone in and not stopped to take another look.
"Chengjing, who is this lady?!"
Seeing the inquisitive look on the woman's face, Xia Wenxi said nothing and pulled her friends into the store.
Let Yin Chengjing explain it himself. Xia Wenxi felt no guilt about her actions. She was just a passerby and hadn't said a word.
If Yin Chengjing can't explain himself, that's his problem.
When asked by her friends, Xia Wenxi felt it inconvenient to talk about Su Yinyin, so she said, "I've only met him a few times before. I heard that his mother doesn't allow him to date casually. I guess she's afraid I'll tell on him."
This is obviously made up, but it's not entirely a lie...
"Oh, I see. No wonder he looked so unhappy when he saw you. But he doesn't look young either. His mother actually interferes with his dating life?!"
Zhang Jiayi replied, "Actually, there are quite a few cases like this. In my hometown, there are also parents who don't allow their children to date casually and will even arrange marriages, but it seems to have decreased a lot in the last two years."
Xia Wenxi thought to herself, "No wonder they're residents of Jinjiang City, they're so knowledgeable!"
Moreover, in the past two years, the trend of freedom of marriage has finally reached the world of domineering CEOs, and the drama of throwing millions at their sons' girlfriends and asking them to leave is no longer popular.
Xia Wenxi guessed that the parents might have gradually realized that even if they spent millions and went through all that trouble, their son would still skip work, drink, have a stomach hemorrhage, and beg them to come back. Since the final result was the same, there was no need to spend the money.
After browsing four or five stores, Zhang Jiayi finally finished buying the clothes she wanted to give to her father. Since it was still early, the four of them went upstairs and each bought a cup of milk tea before going back downstairs to continue shopping.
Xia Wenxi learned from her recent experience that she would never stop to watch the commotion when she heard a familiar voice, but would instead turn around and leave immediately.
Unfortunately, this time, she couldn't leave even though she wanted to.
"Auntie?!"
Because of this title, Xia Wenxi gasped and looked up. Who else could it be but Lin Junying's large face...?
Looking at Xia Wenxi's three roommates and Lin Junying's two friends, they were all dumbfounded by this title.
"Auntie, you're shopping by yourself? Why didn't my uncle come with you?" Lin Junying's small eyes narrowed into slits, her tone ingratiating.
The scene of seeing Lin Junying last time was still vivid in Xia Wenxi's mind. In her eyes, Lin Junying now was no less than a ghost possessing him.
She initially intended to leave, but ultimately couldn't hold back. "Can you please stop yelling? If you yell again, I'll tell my uncle!"
Lin Junying immediately shut his mouth. He had already experienced his uncle's power firsthand and had also received a warning from his father that he must never offend his future aunt again, or no one could save him...
Lin Junying had intended to flatter him, but he failed and didn't dare to say another word.
Xia Wenxi and her friends walked quite a distance away, still immersed in shock, since the three of them were present when Xia Wenxi last met Lin Junying.
Jin Wenyao was the first to ask, unable to hold back any longer: "What happened? Has he been possessed? The last time I saw him, he looked exactly the same..."
Xia Wenxi was speechless. "Who knows... You guys were there when I saw him last time, but I haven't seen him since."
“Hehe, but that’s normal. Even if you’re not his aunt now, you will be in the future. You’re an elder, so of course he has to respect you.” Jin Wenyao laughed after saying that. “It seems that you still have to find a boyfriend from a higher generation. Next time my mom introduces someone to me, I’ll ask her to find me someone from a higher generation.”
"But if you're a higher generation, you'll have to give more lucky money in the future."
Jin Wenyao opened her eyes wide. "What you said makes sense. Then let's forget about it."
Her appearance made all three of them laugh.
"Don't laugh, it's almost Chinese New Year, you should give red envelopes to the younger generation too."
Xia Wenxi thought for a moment and said uncertainly, "It seems that there are no younger generations in our family."
She hadn't noticed it before, but now that she thinks about it, she realizes that her parents rarely talk about relatives at home, and Xia Wenxi doesn't know how they plan to celebrate the New Year.
Li Mengting said, "I'm not going back for the New Year, so I don't need to give you anything."
Hearing this, the three were a little surprised, but then they thought it wasn't unexpected. It was probably better not to go back to that kind of home.
Zhang Jiayi and Li Mengting shared a dorm room, so she knew about this beforehand. She even wanted to invite Li Mengting to her house during the holidays and to spend the Chinese New Year there, but she was refused.
When Jin Wenyao heard about this, her first reaction was to invite Li Mengting to her home for the New Year, but she was still refused.
"Nothing special happened during the Spring Festival. I applied to stay on campus during the winter break. It's fine to be alone in the dorm. Plus, I don't have to worry about feeding Da Huang downstairs."
Xia Wenxi hadn't said anything, her head down as she searched for something on her phone. Only now did she look up and hand the phone to Li Mengting.
"Mengmeng, take a look at this. If you have time, you can go and visit during the Chinese New Year."
Zhang Jiayi and Jin Wenyao also joined in to watch.
Xia Wenxi found an article published on the Hemiao Home WeChat official account, which basically said that children and adults are welcome to visit Hemiao Home and celebrate the New Year with the children.
After reading it for a while, Li Mengting asked Xia Wenxi to forward the article to her, saying, "I'll take a look then. Spending the New Year with the kids will definitely be better than any New Year I've ever had before."
"Okay, I'll forward it to you right away."
Li Mengting looked somewhat dazed as she recalled what had happened before. Jin Wenyao regretted it when she saw this, wondering why she had to bring up the red envelope when she had nothing better to do.
So he said, "...I forgot just now, you guys are still in school, so even if there are younger relatives, you don't need to give red envelopes. But it's different for me, I'm already a working person!"
As Jin Wenyao spoke, she became increasingly frustrated. After all, working at her own home was still working; she had to do the work, but the wages weren't high. She still had to ask her mother for pocket money. Her parents, too, preferred to give her extra money rather than raise her wages.
"Keep up the good work, Director Jin. Open a branch factory in Fancheng as soon as possible, and you can raise your own salary."
Jin Wenyao then sighed, "Factory Director Jin has been skipping work for several days now, and he's probably going to be dismissed soon."
She told her family she was going out to play. Her mother told her yesterday that her father had gone back to work at the factory.
"Never mind, I'll just go back tomorrow."
