Chapter 618
When Wen Xi's cell phone rang, she was helping Jiang Ke improve his cooking skills at Jiang's house.
Not long after she came out of Liang Yisheng's house, she went to Jiang's house to find Jiang Ke.
Jiang Ke said that he suddenly wanted to practice his cooking skills, so he followed the recipe and cooked a table of food.
From main dishes to desserts, everything is available, but they don’t look very photogenic.
The phone in her bag was still vibrating, and all she could hear in her ears was the rustle of Jiang Ke cooking.
She stood next to her with the recipe and supervised her putting the ingredients.
"Why are you suddenly interested in cooking?" she asked casually.
Jiang Ke raised his eyebrows, "I just want to say that if you move out in the future, you don't have to rely on takeout. You should take precautions in advance."
Wen Xi smiled, "You said before that takeout exists only for people like you. If you don't rely on takeout, you would be a fool."
Jiang Ke shrugged helplessly, "People change. I didn't like it before, but now I like it. It's normal."
"Oh, that makes sense."
"Oh, don't talk too much. Try this. Is it delicious?" She put a piece of bamboo shoot into her mouth.
Wen Xi nodded, "It's delicious. You are much better than me."
"Hmph, I think some people's mouths are made of iron, and they would be disgusted by such delicious food." She looked away, obviously not talking about her.
Wen Xi smelled something and was about to speak when he suddenly heard a voice.
She walked out suspiciously, only to find her cell phone ringing.
"Hey, cousin, the old lady wants you to come back as soon as possible."
Listening to the tone, Wen Xi thought something must have happened and said, "I'm going back now."
"Xixi, the cake is baked, you have a try!" Jiang Ke walked out carrying the cake.
"No, I have something urgent to do and I have to leave first. I'll make an appointment another day."
"Okay, just wait, I'll send you off."
"No, let's continue practicing." Wen Xi smiled at her, picked up her bag and left.
As soon as her car drove out, she ran into a car parked in front of Jiang's house.
She subconsciously took another look and saw the woman she met in the mall that day getting out of the car.
Just looking at the profile and clothes, Wen Xi accidentally had the illusion that "that was herself".
She suddenly thought of a saying: to please a person, you have to do what he likes.
I don’t know if she came uninvited.
However, this is the Jiang family. According to Jiang Ke's character, she probably can't do anything.
Thinking of this, Wen Xi drove away.
Simon happened to return to Rong's house with her. The two looked at each other and walked towards the hall together.
Just like when she came that time, the old lady was sitting on the main seat, and the other members of the Rong family were sitting on both sides.
Everyone looked at her with contempt.
"Grandma, we are back."
The old lady glanced at her leisurely and said, "Are you really planning to get your marriage certificate the day after tomorrow?"
"Yes, old lady." Simon replied with great respect.
Wen Xi saw a hint of coldness passing through the corner of the old lady's eyes, "A guest came to visit you today, so I specially asked you to come back."
As soon as he finished speaking, Rong Jinghan appeared from behind the screen with a smile on his face.
The next second, a European and American man appeared from behind him, looking straight at Simon with a sullen face.
Wen Xi was aware of it as early as after receiving the call, so he wasn't too surprised.
But Simon's face was as white as a sheet of paper and he was completely frozen.
"Simon, do you know this gentleman?" the old lady asked.
Simon seemed not to hear, and his whole person seemed to be petrified.
"In that case, come and introduce yourself." The old lady looked at the man.
The man looked at Simon and Wen Xi with a disappointed look on his face, his eyes full of resentment.
At this time, Wen Xi smiled, stepped forward calmly, stretched out his hand, "Long time no see, Mr. Karl."
"Xi'er, do you know him?"
Wen Xi nodded and said to Karl in English, "Mr. Karl is Simon's ex-boyfriend. He told me, right, Mr. Karl?"
As soon as she said this, everyone's expressions changed.
It seems that the plot should not develop like this.
Li Manman couldn't help but interrupt, "Simon is gay, how can you get married? You are cheating on grandma!"
Rong Xian also helped, "You don't like Simon at all. We all know exactly why you married him, but don't think we are fools. You must give us an explanation for this matter, hum."
"Stop arguing." The old lady said in a deep voice, and then looked at Simon, "Simon, tell me, do you know Karl?"
Simon was no longer as stiff as when he first saw Karl. He glanced at Wen Xi from the corner of his eye and nodded slowly, "Yes, Karl and I did have a relationship, but it is in the past."
He spoke Mandarin, which Carl did not.
In the next sentence, he said in English, "Now, I just want to marry Xi'er."
At this time, Karl became anxious and strode up to ask Simon what kind of relationship they had during this period and why he wanted to get married.
Simon looked indifferent, but did not look at him, "You have also seen my decision. You said you supported me before. I thought we could be good. I trust you so much. Are you going to regret it now?"
At this point, the old lady also understood.
No one was interested in the relationship between the two of them, and once Simon's sexual orientation was established, that was enough.
Rong Jinghan said, "Grandma, since the two of them didn't intend to get married and they each have their own hearts, this marriage is meaningless."
"I support Jinghan!" Rong Xian stood up, "Two people who have no feelings will get divorced after getting married. I think Wen Xi should stay single for the time being. Finding a gay husband is nothing."
"Grandma, even if you are thinking about your cousin, you cannot agree to this marriage." Rong Jinghan said.
As soon as the old lady raised her hand, everyone immediately became quiet.
Her sharp eyes moved around the faces of Simon and Wen Xi, and she asked Wen Xi, "Xier, how do you plan to explain?"
At this time, Simon stepped forward and explained, "Old lady, I intend to get married, otherwise I wouldn't waste my time showing up here."
"Who doesn't know that you are interested in our family's property? You must be thinking of using our family's money to raise men outside in the future!" Li Manman accused unceremoniously.
"Okay!" The old lady's voice became louder, "Except for Xi'er, no one else is allowed to speak!"
Wen Xi still looked calm and unhurried, "Grandma, you arranged Simon for me, and I accepted it. As for his past, I don't want to get involved. Since he is ready to marry me, he must have gone through it." Well thought out.”
"Do you like him?" The old lady looked at her with eyes.
Wen Xi said bluntly, "He has a good personality and is handsome. There is no reason why he shouldn't like her, but it doesn't have much to do with love."
This answer surprised everyone. After thinking about it, this answer is the most true.
