Chapter 1634: Chapter 1632: Past and Present Lives 70
"Sorry!"
Shih Wanxin apologized with another smile.
But she started wondering, what’s wrong with this guy!
She just asked some family matters, was he really that impatient?
If they don’t talk about these, what else could they talk about? If he doesn’t want to chat at all, why bother coming out? Just reject outright, wouldn’t that be easier?
While complaining in her heart, she still maintained a sweet smile while pouring drinks and serving snacks.
Seeing her still being so attentive and enthusiastic, Xu Jingyu couldn’t keep his stern face any longer.
He had no choice but to find some common topics to talk about.
Seeing his attitude change, Shih Wanxin brightened up again.
They chatted while eating, and by the end of the meal, the conversation was quite pleasant.
After leaving, Xu Jingyu thought for a moment and offered to drive Shih Wanxin home.
"Sure!"
Shih Wanxin readily agreed, and they left together by car.
...
At the Shih family’s front door, they said cheerful goodbyes and went their separate ways.
Shih Wanxin turned around and entered the house.
She hadn’t even reacted when she saw Zhao Junqi sitting in her living room.
"Hey, how did you get in here?"
Zhao Junqi lazily smiled.
"Of course, I walked in with my feet!"
Everyone knows each other, and they can be considered relatives, so how could he not get in?
"It’s so late, what are you doing here!"
Shih Wanxin frowned and complained while changing her shoes.
Zhao Junqi took a sip of his drink and lazily looked at her again.
"What am I doing here?"
"What kind of question is that!"
"Can’t I come here for no reason?"
"Can’t I come to see Uncle and Aunt?"
Shih Wanxin couldn’t help but laugh.
"Coming to see my parents, huh? You’re usually not so diligent, just spill it, what’s the real reason!"
She wore her casual slippers and sat on the sofa opposite, her expression calm.
Zhao Junqi didn’t bother beating around the bush anymore, he leaned forward with a smug smile.
"How was the guy my mom introduced to you? Satisfied?"
Upon hearing that, Shih Wanxin gave him a ’I knew it’ look, and after a while, she sighed.
"You’re not exaggerating at all!"
"He is quite handsome and capable, but he doesn’t seem very interested in me!"
"We had a decent conversation today!"
"We’ll see, if he doesn’t ask me out next time, I’m not going to reach out to him first!"
Zhao Junqi sighed in relief and patted his chest heroically.
"Don’t worry, sister!"
"As long as you’re satisfied with him, leave the rest to me!"
"I guarantee you’ll happily and beautifully marry into the Xu Family, how about it?"
Shih Wanxin looked at him incredulously and teased him with a smile.
"Oh wow, you have such skills?"
"Then why don’t you find someone for yourself? Still a single guy, huh!"
Zhao Junqi waved his hand dismissively.
"Hey, that’s a different story, let’s not go there!"
"You’ve met him, just tell me if you’re willing!"
Shih Wanxin thought for a moment and nodded.
"Alright, if the Xu Family initiates, I can agree!"
Zhao Junqi was very pleased.
"That’s the spirit!"
"You’re the precious daughter of the Shih Family, the apple of Uncle and Aunt’s eye, looking across City Z, anyone you fancy would be super lucky!"
Shih Wanxin, amused and exasperated, punched him.
"Get lost, you creep, stop babbling nonsense!"
Zhao Junqi laughed while dodging.
"Hey hey hey, I’m clearly speaking the truth, alright?"
After a bit of playful scuffle, Zhao Junqi got up to leave.
"Alright then, just you wait to become the Xu Family’s Young Lady!"
"Let me tell you, their family is only suppressed by our Zhao Family here in City Z!"
"Overseas, ten Zhao Families couldn’t compare to one Xu Corporation!"
Shih Wanxin rolled her eyes fiercely.
"Take it easy, don’t boast too much!"
Zhao Junyao chuckled.
"Just joking, I’m off, bye!"
"Shoo now, I won’t see you out!"
Shih Wanxin yawned and went upstairs, while Zhao Junqi drove away from the front yard.
...
It’s quite strange come to think of it, the Shih Family didn’t used to get along well with Zhao Junqi’s mother and son.
Mainly because Shih Yueshu looked down on the Shih Family.
She always felt that marrying into the Zhao Family elevated her status, making association with the Shih Family too degrading.
But now that she sees the Shih Family serving a purpose, with benefits to gain, she eagerly cozied up to them again.
On the Shih Family’s side.
Although they weren’t fond of Shih Yueshu and her son back then, they couldn’t afford to ruin the relationship for their daughter’s sake.
Now seeing their daughter unable to marry into the Zhao Family successfully, they decided to switch targets to the Xu Family.
They needed Shih Yueshu and her son’s connections even more, so couldn’t afford to spoil things.
Ultimately, all everyone did was for profit, where is the affection in any of it?
...
Xu Family Villa.
When Xu Jingyu returned home, Xu Wanning was in the living room looking at photos.
Seeing him come in, she asked.
"So, how did it go?"
"What do you think of the girl?"
Originally, she didn’t want to agree, but people said the girl was pretty and came from a good family.
Thinking about it, her son has graduated from college for quite a while, and he’s not getting any younger, he should interact more with girls.
So she let her son go meet her.
A mother’s thoughts are mostly the same, and Xu Wanning was quite hopeful.
Xu Jingyu frowned and thought for a while before saying.
"She’s quite pretty, and her family background is okay, she’s the Shih Family’s eldest daughter!"
"She’s lively and cute, just not quite my type!"
Xu Wanning teased her son with a smile.
"Oh, your type, huh!"
"If you have a type, why haven’t you brought someone home for mom to see?"
"All this time without even a first love, mom is worried sick!"
Xu Jingyu felt helpless.
"Mom, why are you worried? Your son isn’t going to stay single forever!"
Xu Wanning glanced at him reproachfully.
"That’s not necessarily true, as I see it, you don’t even show any signs of falling in love, why isn’t it possible?"
"Since the girl is lively and cute, and kind-hearted!"
"You can’t miss out, give it a proper chance!"
"If it really doesn’t work out, at least make a friend, young people need a social circle, she might know girls you’d like!"
Xu Jingyu spread his hands helplessly.
"Alright, Mom! I’ll do as you say!"
He didn’t care if he liked her or not, he can always just be friends.
He likes quiet, reserved girls with a touch of artsy vibe.
Although Shih Wanxin is a bit noisy, she seems harmless, being friends wouldn’t hurt.
That’s why he agreed readily.
Xu Wanning nodded with satisfaction.
"That’s the right attitude!"
Not wanting to say more, Xu Jingyu changed the topic.
"What are you looking at, Mom?"
Xu Wanning’s smile quickly disappeared, she held the photo album with a hint of sadness in her brows.
"Of course, I’m still looking at your sister!"
"How could someone so lively disappear just like that!"
"What name did your grandmother change for her exactly?"
Xu Jingyu thought for a moment and said.
"Mom, I checked it out!"
"Here, changing names is possible, but changing surnames requires the father’s presence to sign the agreement"!
"So, my sister must still have the surname Xia!"
