"Mengyun! Last time you called, didn't you say you would call back the next day? How come Grandpa has been waiting for you for several days and you still haven't called?"
After everyone sat down, Old Man Xia looked at Qiu Mengyun and complained.
Qiu Mengyun curled her lips: "Grandpa Xia, this is not my fault."
"In fact, I called the next day. Not only the next day, but I called every day for the next few days."
"I just don't know what's going on with Xia Tian's phone call. No matter when I call, I can never get through."
Hearing Qiu Mengyun's words, Xia Tian's family all looked at Xia Tian.
"Stinky boy, what the hell is going on? Why can't your phone be dialed through?"
"Humph! I told you, how could Meng Yun go back on her word? It turns out it was you, a stinky brat, who did this."
"You kid, did you deliberately block Mengyun's number? I'm telling you, no matter how much you talk about it, it's still your fault. Hurry and apologize to Mengyun."
Seeing that he had become the target of public criticism, Xia Tian quickly waved his hands and said, "It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!"
"How could I deliberately block Mengyun? I wouldn't even know about this if you didn't tell me. I want to see what's going on now."
After saying that, Xia Tian quickly took out his cell phone and pretended to look at it.
After a while, Xia Tian slapped his forehead violently.
"Oh no! I finally know what happened. It turns out that the signal of my card was turned off at some point."
"Maybe I accidentally scratched it when I turned off the alarm this morning. I really didn't mean to."
Xia Zhenxing said angrily: "You're talking nonsense! How could it be such a coincidence that I turned off the SIM card when I turned off the alarm? I think you did it on purpose."
When Xia Tian was thinking about how to explain, Qiu Mengyun took the initiative to speak up and help him out.
"Uncle Xia, please don't blame him. It might be because the weather is too hot. In summer, when the phone heats up, it automatically turns off the SIM card."
"I've heard that many phones have this problem, where when the temperature gets too high, they automatically shut down the phone's signal and other functions to force the phone to cool down."
Hearing Qiu Mengyun speaking up for him, Xia Tian quickly agreed: "Right, right, right! What Mengyun said makes sense, this must be the situation."
"What are you talking about..."
Xia Zhenxing originally wanted to continue scolding Xia Tian, but Fang Wenjing on the side pulled him back, signaling him not to say any more.
He immediately changed his tone: "Forget it, I won't bother with you about this matter for Meng Yun's sake."
"But you have to be careful in the future. Don't let this happen again."
Old Master Xia also said, "Your father is right. This kind of thing must never happen again. It would be bad if Mengyun misunderstood."
"If your phone isn't working properly, go buy a new one so people don't have trouble finding you."
Xia Tian nodded helplessly and agreed: "Don't worry! I will buy a mobile phone when I have time. This kind of situation will definitely not happen again in the future."
After chatting for a few minutes, Fang Wenjing quickly shifted the topic to their marriage.
"Mengyun, you and Xia Tian have met their parents."
"Besides, both our side and your family have a very good impression of both of you."
"I wonder what your plans are for the future. Have you considered getting engaged first?"
"Don't be too stressed, I'm just asking."
"I know you young people like freedom and don't want to get married so quickly. You want to build your career first before considering marriage."
"But I think since you guys have already made it official, it wouldn't be bad to get engaged first."
"This way, it will be more legitimate for you two to be together in the future, and it won't affect your relationship and career."
Hearing his mother mention this, Xia Tian quickly persuaded her, "Mom, didn't I tell you everything when I just came back?"
"Mengyun and I are both at the rising stage of our careers, and we don't want to get engaged so soon."
"Also, even though we've officially announced our relationship, we haven't been together very long. I still want to continue spending more time with each other."
Fang Wenjing glared at her son and said unhappily, "Why are you talking so much? I'm just asking for Mengyun's opinion. You should respect a woman's opinion on matters like this."
Xia Tian curled her lips. "It's the same if you ask her. We've already discussed the engagement or marriage. My opinion is her opinion, right, Mengyun?"
Seeing Xia Tian winking and winking at her, Qiu Mengyun seemed not to notice and said with a wronged look on her face: "Auntie, actually, my parents also mentioned the engagement before when we were at my house."
"I don't have any objection to this matter. It's just that Xia Tian said he just graduated and found a job and doesn't want to get married so soon. My parents and I can't say anything."
"After all, we haven't been together for long, so it's normal for him to have concerns. But I..."
When Qiu Mengyun first started talking, Xia Tian didn't take it seriously.
After all, she was the one who found an excuse to decline the offer last time at Qiu Mengyun's house.
But when he heard what she said next, Xia Tian's face changed color involuntarily.
What is this woman doing? The words she said are totally wrong.
Why did she say that? It sounded like he didn't want to take responsibility.
He quickly interrupted Qiu Mengyun's next words: "Stop! Stop it! Qiu Mengyun, what nonsense are you talking about? Do you know what you are talking about?"
"Are you still sleepy today? You're talking nonsense here..."
However, he was interrupted before he could finish his words.
Xia Zhenxing scolded angrily, "Shut up! Meng Yun hasn't finished talking yet. Why are you interrupting?"
Old Master Xia also asked angrily: "Stinky boy, what is going on? Explain it to me clearly."
"Is it just as Mengyun said? She and her parents agreed to your marriage, but you rejected the engagement because you wanted to have fun for two more years?"
Xia Tian said in a wronged and depressed tone, "Grandpa, you can't just listen to her one-sided story!"
"Things are not what she said at all. When we were at her house before, she had clearly refused the engagement on the grounds that her career was still on the rise."
"I didn't say anything last time!"
"You must believe me. I am your grandson and son."
