His reaction surprised Meng Pingting. She trotted behind Meng Zhengrong and asked, “Brother, don’t you mind? I can’t believe she’s still irritated because of her ex-boyfriend!”
They were about to enter the front hall. Meng Zhengrong suddenly stopped, turned his head, and said in a deep voice, “First, call my wife, sister-in-law, instead of calling her by her first name. This is the last time. Don’t let me hear it next time.”
Meng Pingting was dissatisfied and wanted to say something. When she saw Meng Zhengrong’s cold eyes, she quickly silenced.
Terrified of her brother, she reluctantly nodded, “I understand.”
“Second, Pingting, if I remember correctly, aren’t you in love? Can you promise you’ll marry him?” Meng Zhengrong bowed his head to adjust the cuffs. His look softened. “If you married your first love, then tell me this again.”
Now it’s Meng Pingting who became embarrassed. She was still so young. How can she promise she will marry her boyfriend? The possibility of breaking up in the future is the highest.
Looking at his sister’s face, Meng Zhengrong sighed in his heart. His voice was gentle. “Have a graceful demeanor. You are still young, and you still have little knowledge of many things, but remember that she is your sister-in-law and your family. After such a thing happens, you should be concerned, not suspicious.”
Meng Pingting softly said, “Actually, I wasn’t suspicious at all…”
This is difficult to say. Now that she thought about it, what she just did was sow discord.
She didn’t hate Xu Yuan. It’s just that she just doesn’t like her haughty demeanor. The Meng family was also as good as the Xu family. Why should she still look reluctant to marry their family?
Meng Zhengrong leaned to touch Meng Pingting’s hair, “I know, but others don’t think so, Pingting, no matter what people outside say, you should at least take your sister-in-law as one of your own.” He paused and added, “Before I came back, your sister-in-law told me to remember to buy you a gift.”
Meng Zhengrong made this up. But if you want to live in peace, you just need a little lie.
Meng Pingting some looked at Meng Zhengrong with some disbelief and wondered, “Really?” ”
“Of course,” Meng Zhengrong’s expression doesn’t look like he’s lying.
Meng Pingting was satisfied. She thought her brother had been on a business trip before, but he rarely brought her gifts. This time he came back and brought her gifts. Did her sister-in-law remind him?
It quickly filled the little girl with joy. Suddenly, she felt that Xu Yuan was pleasing to the eye.
The brothers and sisters returned to the front hall. Only a few servants were engaged. When they asked, they knew Xu Yuan was sunbathing in the yard with Father Meng and Mother Meng.
Meng Zhengrong and Meng Pingting came to the yard, only to see Xu Yuan sitting opposite Father Meng playing chess, while Mother Meng sat and watched.
The emperor nurtured Xu Yuan for so long from being an illiterate person. Which made her fearful and suspicious to all ministers. Apart from her sweet mouth, she also had some skills. At least, the level of Father Meng was not enough to compete with her.
According to common sense, she can’t play chess with Father Meng for long. But, in her brief observation, she found Father Meng is a stern person. If Father Meng found out that she deliberately lost. It would be terrible. She found out Father Meng had grown interested in playing chess with her for a while. So, the question came, how to stop playing chess and also let Father Meng enjoy himself? Such a difficult problem.
Father Meng forced Meng Zhengrong to play chess, but he didn’t like this kind of thing. Now he watched Xu Yuan sit upright and play chess with his father, not a trace of discomfort and restraint. Suddenly, he couldn’t help but sit up and take notice of her.
Even if they were married now, they didn’t have an intimate relationship. He was on a business trip just after he got married. Before he could develop his feelings, the separation between them was nearly half a month, enough to make people stranger again.
“Sister-in-law could also play chess?” Meng Pingting, because of the guilt, took an initiative to speak to Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan just smiled at her but didn’t answer.
If it weren’t for the meal, Father Meng would want to pull Xu Yuan for a few more games. He hadn’t enjoyed himself so much for a long time.
The dining room of the old house was huge. The five people sit at the dinner table, but there is still plenty of space. Father Meng, because he is happy, asked the servant to go to the wine cabinet to bring him a bottle of wine. Xu Yuan drank soup silently and watched around the Meng Residence without glancing at the other four people.
Meng’s family is very ordinary. The ordinary refers to the mode of getting along with family members. Needless to say, the head of the family is Father Meng, and Mother Meng’s temper was mild and soft. Meng Pingting is a little girl who is willful and arrogant, but not too difficult…
As for Meng Zhengrong, it is still unclear what kind of character he is. But, in her opinion, he is not a reckless type…
Xu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. It was easy to handle the relationships with everyone in Meng’s family, which saved her a lot of worries.
“I didn’t expect Xiao Yuan to play chess. You used to say that no one would play with you at home. Are you happy now?” Mother Meng passed Father Meng chopsticks and dishes and said with a smile.
Father Meng laughed loudly, nodded while drinking wine.
It’s unintentional. When Xu Yuan first arrived at my old house, seeing Father Meng’s solemn countenance, she also didn’t talk much. She didn’t expect his attitude to change after playing chess with him.
Father Meng is usually unsmiling, but today he was so happy Meng Pingting felt jealous again.
Originally, she was the favorite little daughter in the family. Although her father was serious, he never lost his temper. Not to mention her mother, who agreed with everything. Her brother, although the age gap between her and her brother is a bit big. The relationship between brother and sister has always been good. Now Xu Yuan has broken this balance…
Although Meng Pingting comforted herself in her heart, she has grown up and now an adult. She can’t eat vinegar like a child, but she had to admit her heart is sour.
She bowed her head to eat in silence, and suddenly a chicken wing appeared in the porcelain bowl in front of her. She looked up subconsciously. Xu Yuan had taken back the chopsticks as if nothing had happened and said to her in a normal tone, “Eat more. ”
Xu Yuan’s tone is as usual, and her face is very calm. As if it was natural to do such a thing and say such a thing, with no hint of currying favor.
Meng Pingting blinked. She looked at Xu Yuan, looked at the chicken wings in the bowl, and said, “Thank you, sister-in-law. ”
At the same time, Meng Zhengrong coughed gently again. Xu Yuan frowned and wanted to give him soup, but she restrained the impulse and continued to bow her head and eat as if nothing had happened.
Meng Zhengrong’s cough sounded like a sonic boom in Mother Meng’s ear.
No one else responded, so Mother Meng quickly called the servant, “Quickly, let the cook stewed sweet pear with white fungus right now!”
After saying this, Mother Meng gave Meng Zhengrong soup and said with distress, “Is your throat uncomfortable? Are you still feeling uncomfortable? Would you like Dr. Chen to come and have a look?”
Meng Zhengrong took the porcelain bowl and said with a smile, “It’s not a big deal. It’s just that the throat is a little dry. It’ll be fine in a few days. Don’t bother Dr. Chen. ”
“This is no trouble. You were on a business trip for half a month, and you’ve grown thin. You should show the doctor and take extra nourishment. Don’t say it. I’ll call Dr. Chen. Don’t go anywhere after the meal, stay at home!”
Xu Yuan had never said much like an invisible person.
However, she should be invisible now.
She is indifferent now, letting Mother Meng show a full play of her infinite maternal love. When Mother Meng comes to think of it afterward, she might think she was reckless, but it just fits her profile, doesn’t it?
The lady of Xu’s family was pampered and has grown up in many favors. How can she be a meticulous person? Mother Meng won’t dispute with her because of this matter.
If just now, she wanted to take care of Meng Zhengrong, filled the soup with care. What will Mother Meng feel like?
In the minds of all mothers, even if a child is in his thirties or forties, he is still a child. Meng Zhengrong has just returned from a business trip. Mother Meng is all concerned about him at the moment, so there is no need for her to be sensible.
She would rather bear a careless title than being ignorant.
After a meal, it was pleasant. The kitchen cooked plenty of stewed sweet pear with white fungus, and Mother Meng pulled Xu Yuan to drink from a bowl that was sweet and delicious.
Meng Pingting after dinner ran to her room to talk to her boyfriend on the phone.
On a princess bed, Meng Pingting held a big pillow. Her white fingers twirled her hair, “That… I think I have misunderstood my sister-in-law.”
Her boyfriend didn’t know how to respond. Meng Pingting sat up with a hint of anger, “I didn’t! I just think she is not so bad. Of course, I didn’t say I liked her!”
Even if Xu Yuan gave her food today, she would continue to dislike her if she noticed a little ingratiation. However, Xu Yuan didn’t. She felt like she couldn’t find a reason to hate this sister-in-law, but she was still waiting.
