Xue Zimu didn't take Yao Yue's tricks seriously. He tidied up a little to make himself look cleaner, and then went downstairs quickly.
From the Qi family, only Bai Xinlan came with a housekeeper, but everyone from the Xue family showed up, except for Xue Lin who was dressed up, and Xue Yu also sat beside Xue Li. There was a clear distinction between the two parties, and the atmosphere seemed to be a little stagnant. There was no scene of Xue Zimu's imagination that Xue's family was solicitously pulling Bai Xinlan to have a happy conversation.
Because of this dull and awkward atmosphere, as soon as Xue Zimu appeared on the stairs, the eyes of several people turned around. Xue Li had nothing to say and taught him a lesson: "Why are you moving so slowly, and there are so many people waiting for you when there are guests."
Xue Zimu hadn't spoken yet, but Bai Xinlan said first, "It's okay, we haven't waited long." She waved to Xue Zimu, "Zimu, come and sit down."
Xue Zimu originally thought that after he went down, he would probably have to choose a seat that was incompatible with both sides, but he didn't expect Bai Xinlan to be very friendly to him. Thinking that the brief time with Bai Xinlan at the last banquet was pleasant, Xue Zimu paused and sat beside her as he said, and said warmly, "Hello, Auntie."
Bai Xinlan nodded, and introduced the housekeeper sitting on the other side to Xue Zimu, "This is Ah Yan's housekeeper, you can call her Aunt Zhang. She will basically take care of some matters about your wedding with Ah Yan and the daily life in the future."
Xue Zimu smiled at the well-dressed woman, "Hello, Aunt Zhang."
Aunt Zhang has long been curious about Xue Zimu. She worked in Qi's family very early. It can be said that she watched Qi Yan grow up and loved Qi Yan as her nephew. Therefore, her worries about Qi Yan's lack of a partner are no more than blood. How many relatives are there. Now that Qi Yan's house, which has always been a bit empty, will finally have another owner, and the cat of the future young lady will live in first. Aunt Zhang is happy and also reminds her, fearing that the other party will not be easy to get along with. , So I asked Qi Yan a few words on the sidelines.
But after Qi Yan gave Xue Zimu a positive comment without hesitation, and made videos with him every day, Aunt Zhang's worry was reduced a lot, but her curiosity became more and more. After all, this is the first time Qi Yan has shown affection for a blind date. Aunt Zhang originally thought that he was too high-sighted and might never find someone he liked in this life, but now that one suddenly appeared, she really couldn't help but be curious.
In addition, she heard from Bai Xinlan that Xue Zimu was very good-looking, but looking at the photos in the profile, her bangs and a pair of huge glasses blocked most of her face, so she looked pretty, not surprising. When Qi Yan and Xue Zimu were videoing, Aunt Zhang couldn't move forward. After a few days, her curiosity about Xue Zimu had accumulated like crazy.
When she came to Xue's house today, the first thing Aunt Zhang saw were Xue Li's twin children. Both of them were not bad in appearance, and Xue Lin even dressed up carefully, except that she was too young and too young, she was really pretty. But Aunt Zhang still felt a little disappointed. Having worked in Qi's family for decades, and as a housekeeper rather than a servant, she definitely has a lot of knowledge. Like Xue Lin, she can tell at a glance that the other person's appearance is actually only seven points, and she can appear above nine points purely by exquisite makeup and clothing.
Not to mention Qi Yan, Aunt Zhang has seen too many "beauties" like this.
Of course, with Bai Xinlan's approval, Aunt Zhang guessed that Xue Zimu must be better-looking than Xue Lin, but after meeting Xue Lin, Aunt Zhang felt that Xue Zimu might be at the level of eight points. It's not that she's picky about the appearance of the young lady in the future, it's just that she is a little depressed because of high expectations.
However, after actually seeing Xue Zimu, Aunt Zhang realized that she didn't need to lower her expectations secretly. Although Xue Zimu did not do meticulous grooming and dressing up like Xue Lin, instead he just appeared in simple casual clothes with his face to the sky, giving people a much stronger visual effect than Xue Lin. His facial features are already extremely dazzling, but the refreshing and simple dress highlights his superior innate conditions, and at the same time suppresses a little bit of color between his eyebrows, showing a bit of vitality and cuteness. For elders like Bai Xinlan and Aunt Zhang, they were obviously much more pleasing than Xue Lin, who was still in full makeup at home.
Due to the drop in expectations before and the comparison with Xue Lin, now Aunt Zhang is very satisfied to see Xue Zimu, and greets Xue Zimu with a smile.
After Xue Zimu greeted Bai Xinlan and Aunt Zhang, she fell silent. Seeing that Xue Zimu didn't take the initiative to greet them, Xue Li felt a little dissatisfied, but seeing Bai Xinlan and Aunt Zhang's friendly attitude towards Xue Zimu, it was still the joy of climbing to the Qi family prevailed.
But the rest of the Xue family is different.
Yao Yue tried to talk to Bai Xinlan as a mother-in-law before, and put eye drops on Xue Zimu by the way, but Bai Xinlan stopped her lukewarmly. Seeing Bai Xinlan and Aunt Zhang's affection for Xue Zimu now, Yao Yue felt as if someone had poured cold water on his head, feeling embarrassed and unwilling.
However, if she could still control her emotions and expressions, Xue Lin next to her would not be so calm. Although she knew she couldn't make jokes on such occasions, Xue Lin couldn't help but turn dark, and she thought she was secretly casting jealous and resentful looks at Xue Zimu, but she didn't know that they all fell into the eyes of the people on the opposite side.
Xue Yu, on the other hand, has been absent-minded, and seems quite impatient to have to listen to this discussion that has nothing to do with him.
"The preparations for the wedding have already started on our side, and Zimu happens to have time during the summer vacation, and he can go on a honeymoon before school starts. The wedding is planned to be in mid-to-late July, what do you think?" Although Bai Xinlan was negotiating tone, but I don't think anyone will refute. Sure enough, Xue Li repeatedly said that he was thoughtful, but Xue Zimu was taken aback for a moment.
It's not that he thinks it's too early or too late, it's just that Xue Zimu suddenly realizes that he still has a chance to go to university when he heard Bai Xinlan say "school starts".
In his previous life, because he was under house arrest by Xue's family, he missed the time to fill in the application form, and because he was in huge debts, he had no intention of repeating the exams, so he just passed by the university campus.
It was a big blow to him at the time, but ten years later, he had completely forgotten about it, and he didn't even think about going back to school. Now being reminded by Bai Xinlan, he was suddenly in a daze, and began to hesitate about whether to go to university or not.
Bai Xinlan saw that he was a little out of control, so she couldn't help asking: "Zi Mu, what's the matter? Do you feel bad at this time?"
Xue Zimu came back to his senses, quickly shook his head, smiled and said, "No, it's pretty good. I just couldn't help but think about which university I might go to in the future."
Bai Xinlan patted him with a smile when she heard the words, and said, "I can ask Ah Yan to accompany you on a field trip to wherever you want to go. You don't plan to go to other cities for university, do you? There are quite a lot of universities in Beijing."
"No, just stay in Beijing." Xue Zimu hadn't even thought about going to university before, let alone just married and went to other cities to go to school. Even if Xue Zimu only thinks that marrying Qi Yan is a mutually beneficial cooperation, he will not do such a thing that makes other people see the problem at a glance. But regarding Bai Xinlan's proposal, Xue Zimu still said: "I can go by myself, he is quite busy."
Bai Xinlan curled her lips and said, "It's okay, he plays with cats at home every day, so he still has some time for this."
Hearing Bai Xinlan say that Qi Yan was playing with cats at home, Xue Zimu couldn't help laughing, and didn't continue to decline. Bai Xinlan was satisfied when she saw this, and continued to talk about other matters of the wedding.
