Chapter 395 Uncle and Sister-in-law
"Where is the person who delivered the letter?" Ye Lanxin asked immediately.
"He's gone..." the servant replied.
The Zhou family was in chaos today, and the servants didn't have the time or energy to care about too many things.
Ye Lanxin couldn't make up her mind for a moment. After all, her relationship with the Xue family should have been over long ago.
Today, the Xue family no longer has Marquis Qingyang or Xue Dalang.
Although her former brother-in-law has returned, she is already the lady of the Zhou family and the mistress of the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion.
She was sighing there and was just seen by Zhou Qinzhu.
"Mother, are you worried about father's condition?"
Ye Lanxin stroked her face and said, "Of course not. It was the wife of the Minister of the Xue family who invited me to meet her."
"The Xue family? The Xue family that just came back from Yamato?"
Zhou Qinzhu still remembered Xue Chenglun's performance at the palace banquet that day. After all, he was staring at her the whole time.
Ye Lanxin nodded: "It seems you remember everything..."
"The lady of their family should have been your sister-in-law before, but your status has changed over the years. You are no longer a woman of the Xue family. What does she want from you?"
Ye Lanxin shook her head, a look of helplessness on her face. "I don't know either, but since she sent me the invitation, I have to meet her. I want to see what she's up to."
Zhou Qinzhu nodded after hearing this. "Mother is right. When do you plan to go? Do you need your daughter to accompany you?"
Ye Lanxin thought for a moment and said, "The time listed is in the afternoon. I can go by myself. We still need someone to stay at the mansion. Your eldest brother is not in charge of things now, and your sister-in-law needs someone to talk to. You should stay."
After hearing this, Zhou Qinzhu didn't say anything else, but just told her mother to be careful.
Ye Lanxin agreed with a smile, but she was wondering in her heart what the purpose of Liu, whom she had not seen for many years, was.
After lunch, Ye Lanxin went to prepare. After all, she couldn't be too embarrassing when meeting an old friend.
Even though his life is not very good now, compared with the Xue family, at least he has a title.
As for what Liu wants to say, we will have to meet her to find out.
"Mom, are you going out?" Zhou Yuzhi saw Ye Lanxin dressed up.
"Yes, an old friend invited me to come over and take a look. The current situation in the mansion makes it impossible for anyone to visit."
After listening to this, Zhou Yuzhi also expressed his deep agreement.
The only old friend he could think of was Liu.
Considering their previous relationship, the invitation now seemed reasonable.
"Then mother will go and come back early."
After saying that, Zhou Yuzhi continued to busy himself with his work.
Along the way, Ye Lanxin was still muttering in her heart. After not seeing each other for many years, Liu had not been very friendly to her at the palace banquet that day. Was it just to avoid suspicion?
The journey wasn't long, so she hadn't thought about it before she arrived at the designated location.
The restaurant is very quiet today, probably because Liu has dealt with it in advance.
This made Ye Lanxin even more uneasy. After all, her relationship with Liu was well known, so there was no need to hide it. Even if they met, they could do it openly and there was no need to cover it up.
Unless, what the other person wants to say to you cannot be known to others.
After she went upstairs with the nanny and the maid, someone stopped them and said that only she could go in alone.
We are all old acquaintances, and I hope Ye Lanxin doesn’t have to worry about what he will do to her.
Ye Lanxin thought about it and agreed to the other party's request.
She signaled to the nanny and the maid not to be nervous, saying that she was just catching up with them, and then she walked in alone.
The other person was pouring wine with his back to him behind a screen. When he heard his footsteps coming in, he gently put down the glass.
The door closed. Ye Lanxin was stunned for a moment. When she turned around, she found that the person behind the screen had stood up.
"It's you!"
She was stunned. The other party was not Liu, but Xue Chenglun!
Ye Lanxin's face turned pale in an instant. She never expected that the person waiting here was her former brother-in-law.
Xue Chenglun looked normal, with an ambiguous smile on his face: "Sister-in-law, long time no see. Have you missed me over the years?"
These words shocked Ye Lanxin. She quickly looked around to make sure there was no one on the other side of the wall.
She pretended to be calm and asked, "Cheng Lun, why are you here?"
Xue Chenglun smiled lightly, walked to the table and sat down, motioning Ye Lanxin to sit down as well: "Sister-in-law, it's been many years since we last met. Is this all you want to ask me?"
Ye Lanxin hesitated for a moment, and finally sat opposite Xue Chenglun.
She looked at Xue Chenglun, trying to read something from his face, but Xue Chenglun's expression remained the same, making it difficult to understand.
"Cheng Lun, there's no need for us to call each other sister-in-law anymore. After all, I'm the wife of Marquis Jing'an now." There was a hint of hesitation and a hint of temptation in Ye Lanxin's voice.
Xue Chenglun didn't care. He gently shook the wine glass in his hand and said, "Since you don't let me call you sister-in-law, how about I call you Lan Xin? You know, I have never forgotten you."
Ye Lanxin was slightly shocked when she heard this.
A feeling of secret joy rose in her heart, almost making the corners of her mouth curl up.
But she quickly controlled herself and said, "Chenglun, let the past be the past. We should all look forward to the future."
Xue Chenglun didn't seem to be planning to give up. His smile was very provocative and charming.
A successful middle-aged man, after experiencing the vicissitudes of life, his eyebrows and eyes are more mature, that determined look, and a few words are lethal.
He put down his wine glass, leaned forward, and locked his eyes with Ye Lanxin: "Lanxin, I know you still have me in your heart. Give me a chance, let's start over."
Ye Lanxin looked at Xue Chenglun's affectionate eyes, but there was not a ripple in her heart.
But thinking of their current situation, she shook her head gently and said, "Cheng Lun, it's impossible for us to be together anymore. We are both people of status now. Please don't bother me anymore."
Xue Chenglun heard this, but the smile on his face did not disappear.
He knew Ye Lanxin was lying from her tightly clenched fists.
He straightened up, his eyes becoming tender: "Lan Xin, are you sure you want to be so heartless? Can you bear it? I finally came back, don't you want to compensate me?"
"I don't understand what you're saying..."
This was her last act of stubbornness.
Xue Chenglun was silent for a moment, then slowly stood up and asked, "Why do I feel like you don't dare to look me in the eye?"
After saying that, he walked around behind Ye Lanxin when she was most nervous, and then gently placed his hand on her back. Feeling Ye Lanxin's trembling, his hand slowly moved down.
"Lan Xin, are you sure you don't want to compensate me?"
After he said this, his face was already pressed against Ye Lanxin's face from behind, and the breath he exhaled just warmed Ye Lanxin's ears.
Ye Lanxin swallowed and tried hard to calm herself down, but she found that her whole body was getting hotter and hotter.
"Lan Xin, I want you... Since I saw you at the palace banquet that day, I have wanted you!"
