jing hanchuan ate a piece of sour meat and lost his appetite. he picked up a small fork and lowered his head to eat the dessert on the side.
” hanchuan … ” fu chen was elegantly eating the food in front of him when he suddenly cued.
“what?”
“you’ve been with miss xu for more than five months, could it be that you’re not progressing as fast as lin bai? after all, the duan family has a fiery temperament.” he said nonchalantly.
jing hanchuan took a bite of the dessert and didn’t say anything.
” it’s a matter of age between wanwan and i. we can’t help it. however, i originally thought that i could attend your wedding this year, but now it seems … ”
the jing family stood to the side and took a deep breath.
because of xu shunqin’s return, his sixth master’s life was already very difficult. why was third master still so insistent on provoking him?
if he was in a bad mood, his subordinates would not have a good time either.
**
at this time, duan family
when duan linbai saw the four old men in the living room, he was stunned for a few seconds.
“my grandparents.” he coughed, pretending to pinch his brows to observe xu jiamu’s expression.
they all lived in the countryside or the suburbs for the rest of their lives and rarely entered the city. except for when they were feeling unwell, they would not come for a check-up. during festivals or when there were funerals in various families, they would not come. however, today, they were all here.
even though xu jiamu felt awkward, he could only obediently greet them one by one. the four of them kept smiling at her, and the atmosphere was quite strange.
duan linbai looked at his parents and asked with his eyes, ” what’s going on?
“don’t stare at me. your aunt told your grandmother.”
“don’t tell me all of our relatives know about it?” duan linbai pinched the space between his eyebrows.
“i basically know everything.” lin yuxian shrugged. the four old men entered the door one after the other. they were also shocked.
their relatives had established a group, and the news that duan linbai had found a girlfriend with a doctor had already spread among them.
“little girl, come over and sit.” an old lady with short hair greeted xu jiamu.
he even took out his presbyopic glasses from his pocket and stared at her seriously. after a long time, he said to the person beside him, ” this girl is beautiful. ”
“it’s not bad.”
“you study medicine? you’ll have a hard time at work in the future. you must have had a hard time studying. no wonder you’re so skinny. eat more later.”
……
xu jiamu was extremely embarrassed. after sitting down, the others invited her to eat. to hide her awkwardness, she pinched a piece of orange and lowered her head to take two bites.
the four old men stared at her. when she moved, their eyes followed her.
she raised her head and smiled at them, feeling extremely anxious. duan linbai couldn’t help but say, ” stop looking. she’s shy and will scare people. ”
the few of them looked at each other. they didn’t stare at each other directly, but their eyes eventually fell on her.
” mu zi, don’t be fooled by lin bai’s carefree attitude. this is really his first time bringing a girl home. when my family found out about this, they were all a little excited. ” lin yuxian explained.
“it’s fine.” xu jiamu could only reply this way since he was already in this position.
however, what happened next made duan linbai break down.
why did his grandmother and grandmother have to sit next to xu jiamu for a meal? what about him?
“where should i sit?” duan linbai frowned.
“just sit anywhere, there are so many seats!” duan songqiao raised his eyebrows.
duan linbai gritted his teeth. in the past, they all said that he was their darling, but now, no one was greeting him.
over the meal, xu jiamu learned a lot about the duan family.
the duan family and the lin family were the first to go to the sea to make money. as for duan linbai’s parents, it was a typical arranged marriage between parents. they fell in love after marriage and were very happy.
the elders of the two families were still tense at first, feeling that they needed to establish an image in front of the younger generation. after a long time, even the northeast dialect had jumped out.
it was also revealed that duan linbai had written love letters to girls in elementary school.
duan linbai lowered his head and dug into the white rice, wishing he could bury himself in it.
who hasn’t been an child?
it was such an embarrassing day. how was he going to face xu jiamu in the future? these people were just short of telling him how old they were and how they peed their pants.
this family was so enthusiastic that xu jiamu was embarrassed to say that they were actually …
now, they weren’t even officially dating, and they were even meeting the parents for no reason.
*
after they finally finished eating, duan linbai immediately said that he had something important to do and took her upstairs.
afraid that someone would cut him off, he quickly pulled xu jiamu’s hand and ran upstairs, gripping it tightly.
