Only After I Was Reborn Did I Realize That I Had Childhood Sweethearts

Chapter 320: Family gathering

Views:

While Lin Youxi was helping Mei Fang deal with his injuries, Mei Fang received a call from his father Mei Lijun.

"We are at the gate of the community, but the security guard won't let us in and asks us to register. What is your house number?"

"I can't even remember this... Building 3, Room 1302... Ah, tsk tsk tsk!"

"Did it hurt you?"

Lin Youxi asked, "I'll be gentler."

"It's okay, it's okay, just continue..."

Mei Fang continued to call Mei Lijun, but Mei Lijun's voice on the other end seemed very low.

"Son, if it's inconvenient for you, how about we go there later?"

"It's convenient, what's inconvenient? What are you thinking about? Yuanyuan's parents are here too, you two should hurry up."

Mei Fang and Lin Youxi were busy inside the house when someone from the Mei family knocked on the door.

Hearing the knock on the door, Xia Yuan trotted forward to greet them. As soon as she saw Mei Fang's parents, she immediately greeted them with a smile.

"Uncle Mei, Aunt Xiang, you are here!"

"Sister Yuanyuan!"

Little Meiya threw herself into Xia Yuan's arms. Xia Yuan touched Meiya's head and couldn't help but sighed: "Xiaoya, Xiaoya, you are really different every time. At the beginning of the year, you were only this tall, but now you are almost taller than my chest."

"Hehe... Because Xiaoya is never picky about food! She drinks milk every day!"

Mei Ya told Xia Yuan seriously, "My brother told me that there are height requirements for astronauts, so I have to grow taller quickly."

"Yeah, Xiaoya, you have to work harder!"

Mei Lijun and Xiang Xiaoxia actually felt a little complicated when they met Xia Yuan. After all, they were together and then broke up. After all, it was Xia Yuan who dumped Mei Fang. It was impossible to say that they didn't have any resentment in their hearts.

However, when they saw that she was still as enthusiastic about him as before, their doubts were immediately reduced.

Xiang Xiaoxia immediately smiled and took Yuanyuan's hand and said, "Yuanyuan is getting more and more beautiful. It's different now that she's a big star."

"But why does it feel like Yuanyuan has lost a lot of weight..."

Meilijun scratched his head and said, "Is it because of your poor appetite recently - puff -"

Mei Lijun was hit hard by his wife Xiang Xiaoxia for bringing up the matter. Xia Yuan scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Because I gained weight recently, I worked out with Ah Fang to lose weight for a while."

"Hey, you kids are still growing up, why do you want to lose weight? Yuanyuan, you were never fat, you were so healthy before..."

"You still need to pay attention to your diet—"

Xia Yuan waved his hand and said, "Come in and sit down first. We can sit down and talk slowly."

At this time, Xia Xun and Teacher Yu also stood up from the sofa and greeted Xiaoxia with Mei Lijun.

Mei Lijun, the optimistic father, immediately waved his hands vigorously: "Teacher Yu, Lao Xia, you are here too!"

Yu Ling smiled and said, "Sister Xiaoxia, you seem to be getting younger and younger?"

"It's not your turn to say that, Mr. Yu... I'm definitely old, you and Yuanyuan standing together look like a pair of sisters..."

Compared to the warmth among the three people, Xia Xun seemed to be very quiet, and only whispered a greeting:

"Director Mei, Sister Xiaoxia."

During the period when Mei Fang and Xia Yuan were in love, Xia Xun's way of addressing Mei Lijun once returned to the way Xia Yuan and Mei Fang addressed him in their childhood, "Brother Lijun", but now he is distancing himself from her again, which is obviously a sign of estrangement.

Mei Lijun, who had been with Xia Xun in the officialdom for many years, did not mind being ignored at all. He immediately put his arm around Xia Xun's shoulders and said:

"Hey, Old Xia, why are you calling me like that again? Don't call me Director Mei. We've known each other for so many years. Isn't it better to just call me Brother Li Jun?"

Xiang Xiaoxia also replied, "That's what I mean... We have been neighbors for so many years, so don't be so distant."

Xia Xun was attacked by everyone including his wife and daughter because of an unfamiliar name. He was a small-time tycoon in the county's business community. He didn't know how many industries he had outside, but he had no way of having a say in the family. He could only promise to change his words.

Everyone chatted in the living room for a while. At this time, Lin Youxi and Mei Fang came out of the room one after another, and everyone's attention fell on Lin Youxi.

"Uncle Mei, Uncle Xia, Aunt Xiang, Teacher Yu, you are here..."

Compared to Xia Yuan's graceful and elegant demeanor, Lin Youxi displayed a gentle and virtuous beauty in front of her elders.

Now Xiang Xiaoxia really wants to praise Lin Youxi, but she has to hold back for the sake of Yuanyuan's family.

Mei Lijun, who was carefree, didn't hide anything. He couldn't help but sighed as he looked at Lin Youxi in front of him, "Great! Youxi, you've changed a lot... You look like... You look like a big star. You're so beautiful."

Lin Youxi smiled slightly and said, "Thank you Uncle Mei for the compliment."

At this time, Mei Ya also patted her father on the shoulder and said, "Dad, how come you have such a limited vocabulary as the director? You always say this to Sister Youxi, and you said the same thing at the beginning of the year!"

"It wasn't so obvious at the beginning of the year, but now I can see it, I can see it—"

Meilijun scratched his head and said, "Oh, I can't really tell."

"Do you feel that Sister Youxi has suddenly become very mature?"

"Yes, that's what I mean!"

Mei Lijun and Mei Ya, father and daughter, could not help but praise Lin Youxi. Although the speaker did not mean it, the listener took it seriously. Xia Xun appeared calm on the surface, but he felt a little unhappy in his heart.

Xia Xun’s dissatisfaction value +10.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it for now... Now that everyone is here, let's get ready to eat."

Mei Fang helped out and said, "Yuanyuan and Youxi have been preparing for the whole morning!"

"They've been preparing all morning, so you're not sleeping in, are you?"

Xiang Xiaoxia frowned and said, "That's not acceptable."

"How is that possible? I must have stood up to help!"

"That's more like a conversation."

Xiang Xiaoxia nodded, "Yuanyuan and Youxi are both their parents' treasures, they are not here to serve you, the three of you must support each other."

Mei Fang's voice sounded a little aggrieved, "I know, I know... I fell outside and you didn't comfort me, but came up and scolded me. Aren't you a little too biased?"

"Oh, what comfort do you need as a grown man? You become pretentious when you get older. You don't act like a boss at all."

“Hahahahahaha!”

All three families burst into laughter, and Xia Xun's dissatisfaction was alleviated by everyone's extremely high aggressiveness towards Mei Fang.

Xia Xun's dissatisfaction value is -10.

Lin Youxi invited everyone to the table to eat. "Yuanyuan and I cooked today's meal together. We have been cooking for ourselves recently, and Yuanyuan's cooking skills have improved a lot."

"I didn't cook much... I made this stir-fried pork with black fungus and this braised chicken..."

As soon as Xia Yuan finished speaking, Xia Xun picked up a piece of chicken and started to taste it.

"Mm, it tastes good... even better than what your mom is making now."

"Ah... why bring me here?"

Yu Ling tapped her husband's arm in an unpleasant manner, which made everyone smile knowingly.

"Let me try it too."

"Hehe... It's all Youxi's fault." Xia Yuan smiled, "She's really good at cooking, very, very good..."

As Xia Yuan was talking, he saw his father constantly picking up the dishes he made, so he immediately pulled his arm and reminded him, "Dad, try what Youxi made too, don't just eat what I made."

"Ah? Really... just this dish is a little closer."

Mei Fang was enjoying the sight of the families having fun together. Only little Mei Ya was picking up her rice bowl and whispering to her brother:

"Sister Youxi's dishes are still tastier. Sister Yuanyuan's dishes are a bit salty. Why don't you let Sister Youxi cook them herself and then just say they were cooked by Sister Yuanyuan."

"This is an adult matter, you don't understand..."

Mei Fang patted Mei Ya's head. It had been a while since he had taken good care of his sister. "How are you doing in school recently? Are you doing well?"

"Hehe, I'm very arrogant in school now. Everyone wants me to ask for your autograph and they also want you to help them get some C-station accounts."

"Then I can't help you. If I give it to you, it will lead you kids astray. It will be troublesome if your parents come looking for you."

Mei Fang thought for a moment and said, "But you can give me some peripheral dolls. I'll give you enough of them."

“Is there a lot of peripheral gifts at Station C now?”

"I'm still trying to get them, but I'll just have enough when the time comes."

"Yeah! Bro is the best!"

"But remember not to show off. Be low-key. Don't bully others just because your family is rich and powerful. You are not that kind of person, right?"

"Brother, what are you talking about? Of course not."

Mei Ya smiled at Mei Fang and said, "I am your sister, Mei Fang."

Previously, Mei Fang asked Guo Yun to help design Q-version mascot images for the three founders. In addition, she also asked the girls in the UI group to design elves and pet images such as small TVs.

It is worth mentioning that the uncle said that he liked these designs very much, just like what he had seen in his dreams, which made Mei Fang feel somewhat guilty.

Several families had dinner together, and the protagonists were basically Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan. At first, Xiang Xiaoxia was worried that Yuanyuan's family would be dissatisfied because she favored Lin Youxi, but when she saw that Yuanyuan and Youxi had a good relationship, Xiang Xiaoxia's love for Lin Youxi became more obvious, and she kept asking her about her well-being.

If the threesome wants to be successful, they have to leave a good impression in front of each other's parents, so Lin Youxi always brings Yuanyuan along whenever she answers questions, and never tries to show off, successfully gaining favor from Yu Ling and Xia Xun.

No one drank alcohol at lunch. After the meal, Mei Fang, who seemed to have no throne in the family, took the initiative to clean up the dishes. Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi were busy accompanying their parents, so only his kind sister came to help him.

After dinner, everyone visited everyone's rooms. In order to avoid inspection, Mei Fang must have moved all the rooms back to her own place. When they heard that Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi still slept together at night, both parents felt relieved. It seemed that the relationship between the two sisters was not broken because of that bastard Mei Fang.

Xia Yuan also clapped his hands and greeted everyone, "Okay, okay... Now that everything here is done, let's take everyone to where we can live together! I have booked a villa there, and we will live there together. Today we can see the scenery and soak in the hot springs, tomorrow we can go skiing, and tonight we will celebrate the New Year together!"

Xia Yuan arranged all the travel plans, and her parents had no objection and just let Xia Yuan make her arrangements.

"Yuanyuan is really like an adult now, she arranges everything by herself."

Mei Lijun smiled and said, "Come to think of it, you are a big star now, don't you have your own assistant or agent?"

"Yes! Of course there is!"

Xia Yuan subconsciously pulled Mei Fang's hand and said, "Ah Fang is my agent and assistant. Not only that, he is also my—"

As Xia Yuan was talking, he suddenly realized that everyone was looking at him with complicated expressions. Then he realized that he was too close to everyone.

She originally wanted to let go of Mei Fang's hand, but Mei Fang took the initiative to hold her and didn't let go. "It's like this. After all, if Yuanyuan contacts them herself, she might meet a lot of bad people. It was Youxi and I who helped her research the channels. I don't feel comfortable letting others do this for her."

"Hey, Fang... don't make me sound like a child!"

Although his relationship with Mei Fang had long gone beyond holding hands, it was a bit embarrassing to show affection in front of his parents as an "ex-girlfriend". Xia Yuan's ears turned red as Mei Fang held on to her tightly.

This action scared Xiang Xiaoxia and Mei Lijun. They thought that even if the three of you have a good relationship, after all, Yuanyuan has broken up with Mei Fang, and now Youxi and Mei Fang are together. Isn’t it a bit… to hold hands in front of Youxi

Everyone couldn't help but look at Lin Youxi, who held her chin with her hand and had a very happy expression, "Indeed, it's best to let Ah Fang be the manager. I don't feel comfortable leaving Yuanyuan to someone else. Besides, Yuanyuan is just a child in our eyes."

"I! Am! Not! A! Thing!"

Xia Yuan's cute look of blushing face and refuting made several family members couldn't help laughing.

Although everyone had been deliberately avoiding talking about Lin Youxi and Mei Fang's relationship, when it came time to set off, this sense of boundary was still very obvious. When getting in the car, Lin Youxi took the initiative to get into Mei Lijun's car.

"Damn it, why don't you drive me to Sister Yuanyuan's car? I want to stick with Sister Yuanyuan and Sister Youxi."

"Don't be so willful. The parents are here to visit their daughter. It's not easy for them to have a chance to ask them questions and chat alone. Youxi must be riding in our car."

Xiang Xiaoxia smiled at Youxi again and said, "By the way, Youxi, I saw you guys getting along today... Yuanyuan and Ah Fang were pretty close, would you... well, mind?"

"I don't mind. We have always gotten along like this."

In the car, Lin Youxi could finally show her affection to Mei Fang without restraint. Compared to Xia Yuan who was restrained and well-behaved in front of Mei Fang's parents, Lin Youxi seemed more intimate and enthusiastic. As soon as she got in the car, she hugged Mei Fang's arm and leaned on his shoulder.

"When Yuanyuan and Ah Fang were dating, Ah Fang and I didn't deliberately avoid anything. After all, we grew up together and knew each other well, so no one would be jealous."

"Ah...Is that so?"

Xiang Xiaoxia originally wanted to say that this was not a suitable way for couples to get along, but was she supposed to remind Lin Youxi to keep some distance between Yuanyuan and Mei Fang

She won't be such a bad person.

"Well... as long as you and Yuanyuan don't care about this."

Then she sighed again, "It just makes my son a bargain."

"Hey, hey, stop scolding me all the time, okay, mom? I'm a son of a bitch, and you're just—"

"Yes, this is a dog dad."

Xiang Xiaoxia pointed at Meilijun and said, "What a bastard father, what a bastard son."

"Hey... I'm obviously very good today, okay, honey."

"The area damage is just too strong."

Mei Ya raised her hand and reminded, "Can you please stop discussing the dog's ownership? I don't want to be a dog's daughter."

"That depends on your performance in the future."

After Xiang Xiaoxia finished speaking, she looked at Lin Youxi in the rearview mirror and saw her whispering sweet words to Mei Fang in her ear.

There was no doubt that this was exactly what she wanted in a daughter-in-law.

However, if this look is changed to Xia Yuan, it actually feels pretty good.

Although Yuanyuan is not as mature as Youxi now, she loves her son wholeheartedly and depends on her son wholeheartedly.

Even though we have broken up, our relationship is still close.

There's no discernible rift at all.

I really can't imagine why she would be willing to leave her son.

Because if there is a disguised side, it will definitely reveal a certain feeling.

But not at all.

This is very strange...

"So, Ah Fang... Although I have heard you explain it many times," Xiang Xiaoxia thought for a moment and continued to ask:

"In your opinion, what do you think is the real reason why Yuanyuan broke up with you?"

This picture was written during the live broadcast. I will have another chapter of about 2,000 words to be written later. I will keep working hard.
