This couldn't be more fitting.
But from what she learned from Xiao Youran, she felt that something was not right.
Xiao Youran's answer made her even more disappointed.
Xiao Youran said: "My relationship with Xiao Xu is still the same. It has not gotten better or worse."
"Didn't you say he confessed to you? Didn't he express anything after that?"
Xiao Youran shook his head, "No, since then, Xiao Xu has never confessed his feelings once."
Zhang Ruoshu's heart suddenly sank.
Could it be that Xiao Xu has fallen in love with another girl
She immediately asked her daughter.
Xiao Youran shook his head without hesitation and said, "Impossible, Xiao Xu won't fall in love with someone else."
She took the initiative to find an excuse for Xu Xiuwen, "Xiao Xu is very busy at school."
"Tell me what he's busy with."
Xiao Youran then told everyone that Xu Xiuwen had attended the school's welcome party, filmed a TV series, participated in a football match, and hosted Jiangling College's welcome party.
Zhang Ruoshu was shocked after hearing this.
She knew that Xu Xiuwen could play football.
But he can actually play the guitar and the piano
Is this still the Xu Xiuwen that she has watched grow up
Chapter 250 Mother-in-law meets son-in-law
Zhang Ruoshu is a mother after all.
She immediately adjusted her mood and asked, "According to what you said, Xiao Xu is not very popular among girls in school?"
Xiao Youran nodded and said very depressedly: "Yes, many girls call him, send text messages, and harass him every day. Xiao Xu is so annoyed. Why don't they know how to be reserved?"
Zhang Ruoshu looked at Xiao Youran's depressed expression and became depressed too.
Silly daughter, are you still being reserved
If she were ten or twenty years younger, she would have been attracted to such an outstanding boy.
She really wanted to tell her daughter that if she continued to be reserved, Xu Xiuwen would become someone else's boyfriend.
Zhang Ruoshu decided to gently remind her daughter, "Sometimes it's not a bad thing to take the initiative."
Xiao Youran nodded when she heard this. "I thought so too, so I plan to go to Aunt Ning's house tomorrow and chat with her. Mom, you know, Aunt Ning likes me the most."
Knowing to follow the path of Xu Xiuwen's mother, it seems that her daughter is not that stupid.
"You go see your Aunt Ning tomorrow. When you see Xu Xiuwen, ask him tactfully if there are any girls pestering him recently."
Xiao Youran finally reacted.
A smile instantly spread across her face, "Mom, is Xiao Xu back?"
"Well, your Aunt Ning just called and said that he just came back tonight."
"Then why didn't he tell me? No, I have to ask Xiao Xu." Xiao Youran said as he picked up his phone and started texting Xu Xiuwen.
Zhang Ruoshu saw this scene and quietly left the room.
At home.
Xu Xiuwen was just about to go to bed when he suddenly received a text message from Xiao Youran.
The girl asked him in a text message if he would be back tonight.
Xu Xiuwen knew without even thinking that it must have been his mother who told the story.
"Well, I came back in the evening. What's up?"
"Xiao Xu, why didn't you tell me you were back? I thought you weren't back."
"I've been quite tired lately, so I forgot."
"Then I'll make some soup and send it to you tomorrow to nourish you."
"No, that's too much trouble."
"It's okay, it's not a big deal. I'll go tell my mom now."
Xiao Youran immediately put down her phone and ran to find Zhang Ruoshu, asking her to make some bone soup or old hen soup and bring it to Aunt Ning's house tomorrow to nourish Xu Xiuwen.
Father Xiao just came home at this time. Hearing his daughter's words, he said jealously, "Your dad is exhausted from working overtime, and you didn't ask me to make soup for you. You only have eyes for your little Xu."
Xiao Youran smiled shyly and then hid in the room.
After Xiao Youran entered the room, Zhang Ruoshu actually walked into the kitchen and started to get busy.
After taking a shower, Father Xiao came out of the bathroom and saw Zhang Ruoshu washing the pot in the kitchen. He couldn't help but say, "You really listened to your daughter and made soup for Xiao Xu?"
Zhang Ruoshu rolled her eyes at him and ignored him.
Father Xiao saw that Zhang Ruoshu ignored him, and said depressedly: "I have never enjoyed the treatment that Xiao Xu has received."
Zhang Ruoshu snorted and asked, "Do you know why I listened to my daughter and made soup for Xiao Xu?"
"Oh, is there any reason I don't know?" Father Xiao looked curious.
Zhang Ruoshu nodded gently and explained: "I want to tell you something. Don't tell anyone. It's good enough for us to know it among our family members."
Father Xiao smiled and said, "You don't understand my character yet. When have I ever told outsiders about my family affairs?"
"Well, do you know what Xiao Xu has done this semester?"
"What can Xiao Xu do? Isn't he in college? Did he make a mistake in school?"
Zhang Ruoshu rolled her eyes at him and said, "What are you thinking? How could a boy as outstanding as Xiao Xu make any mistakes?"
Father Xiao looked at Zhang Ruoshu and felt something was not right.
She had never thought that Xiao Xu was outstanding before, let alone making soup for him.
Something must have happened in the meantime!
Zhang Ruoshu didn't keep him in suspense and said directly, "Xiao Xu started writing novels after graduating from high school. He wrote three books in total. The first one earned 250,000 yuan, the second one earned more than 1 million yuan, and the third one earned more than 1.5 million yuan."
After hearing this, Mr. Xiao opened his mouth wide.
Zhang Ruoshu saw his surprised expression and smiled. Her reaction just now was not much different from his.
Even though Ning Wanqiu told her these words herself, she still couldn't believe it.
It was not until she confirmed it from her daughter that she gradually believed it.
Zhang Ruoshu continued, "During the time when Xiao Xu was in college, he used the royalties from his second book to shoot a TV series, which he then sold to the Jiangsu Provincial TV Station for 12 million. I heard that the TV series will premiere the day after tomorrow. You said that Xiao Xu is a quiet kid, but he has done so many things quietly."
Father Xiao was silent.
He was still trying to digest what Zhang Ruosu had said.
He wrote three novels and earned nearly 3 million yuan in royalties. He also filmed a TV series, which sold for 12 million yuan.
Why does he feel like he is dreaming
He asked hesitantly, "Are you sure?"
Zhang Ruoshu nodded and said, "I have confirmed it with my daughter, it should be correct. Wanqiu and my daughter can't be lying to me, right? And didn't the TV series say it will premiere the day after tomorrow? We will know then."
Father Xiao actually believed it.
He couldn't help but say, "No wonder you started preparing as soon as my daughter said that. I haven't even enjoyed such treatment."
Zhang Ruoshu explained: "Youran is too naive. I asked her how their relationship is now, and she told me it's still the same as before. Do you think this girl is stupid? She doesn't know how to hold on to such an excellent boy like Xiaoxu."
"So you, as a mother, are here to personally make soup for your future son-in-law? It's true that the more a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she likes him. But didn't you think highly of them before?"
"Then can it be the same now as before? Originally I was worried that Xiao Xu would have no future, and that You Ran wouldn't be able to live a good life with him. But apart from this worry, I have watched Xiao Xu grow up since he was a child, and I know him inside and out. I am not afraid that he will treat You Ran badly in the future."
Father Xiao nodded and said, "That's true. Xiao Xu is quite good to You Ran. He used to hang around You Ran every day and never complained about anything we asked him to do. He was also very respectful to us."
He thought about it carefully and felt that Xiao Xu was indeed very good and suitable for his daughter, so he said, "I support you in making soup. Yu Ran is immature, and as a mother, you should give her more advice to promote their relationship."
"You don't even need to tell me. Tomorrow, Youran will go deliver the soup. I plan to go with her and have a good chat with Wanqiu then. By the way, did you know that Xiao Xu spent 650,000 yuan on a BMW 5 Series? He also said tonight that he would buy Wanqiu a car as well."
Father Xiao was immediately shocked. "A BMW 5 Series worth 650,000? Isn't that the top model?"
Zhang Ruoshu rolled her eyes again, "Who is discussing cars with you? Didn't you hear what I meant? Xiao Xu made some money and installed air conditioners at home during the summer vacation. Now he wants to buy a car for Wanqiu. This kid is not only sensible but also very filial."
Father Xiao praised: "Xiao Xu is indeed a good kid."
Zhang Ruoshu said, "Okay, go back and rest."
Upon hearing this, Father Xiao also reminded: "Since you are making soup for Xiao Xu, you must buy a pure old hen when you go to the vegetable market tomorrow."
"I know, don't worry."
Zhang Ruoshu prepared the pot and checked whether the ingredients and seasonings were complete.
Everything is ready, now all we need is a genuine old hen to make the soup.
