Chapter 146 The word "if"
"Oh, yes, give Xu Wen a call and ask him to come here directly. We can celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together." He Shujin continued to talk to her daughter.

There was nothing to do at work today, so she called Dai Guizhen in advance, thinking of celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival with both families.

On this day of reunion, the more people there are, the more lively it will be.

Xia Ning was a little confused after hearing this. She didn't know whether to go back to the room to call Xu Wen out, or go and greet the elders first.

Just when she didn't know what to do, footsteps were heard behind her.

Xu Wen also walked out of the room.

There was no trace of panic on his face, and he walked to He Shujin very naturally.

"Hello, Auntie." He greeted her and took the things from her.

He Shujin looked at Xu Wen and then at Xia Ning.

Her daughter was only wearing a suspender nightgown, which was very cool.

Fortunately, Xu Wen was dressed neatly and neatly, and a loose white short-sleeved shirt made him look very refreshing.

Just now it was Xia Ning who was embarrassed, and now it was He Shujin's turn to be embarrassed.

She didn't know what to say now, where to start, and whether she came back at a bad time.

Xu Wen took the initiative to break the deadlock and explained: "A junior in my high school asked me for her notes. My writing is not as good as Xia Ning's, so I came to borrow her notes."

If he talked about starting a business, these elders definitely wouldn't understand, so he could only make up a lie.

Xia Ning also quickly echoed: "Yes, Xu Wen came to our house to get the notes."

She finally came to her senses, walked to Xu Wen’s mother and called sweetly, “Hello, Auntie.”

Maybe it was because they had just been intimate.

Whenever Xia Ning saw Xu Wen's mother again, she always had an indescribable feeling.

It's like the nervousness a daughter-in-law feels when meeting her mother-in-law for the first time.

"So you want to borrow notes. That way you don't have to ask Ningning to call you." He Shujin found slippers for Dai Guizhen and Xu Ling, and then led everyone to the room.

As she walked, she said, "When she graduated, I wanted to sell all her stuff as junk, but she insisted on keeping it as a souvenir. I didn't expect it would actually come in handy."

When passing by Xia Ning's room, she looked inside the room with her peripheral vision.

The bed was tidy, with no signs of anyone having slept on it, and there were actually piles of notes on the desk.

From this perspective, what Xu Wen said was correct, he really came to borrow the notes.

But who is He Shujin? After all, she is an experienced person and has seen a lot.

When she was in vocational high school, she was surrounded by young boys and girls who were vying to taste the forbidden fruit.

He Shujin felt that she couldn't stay in that kind of environment forever, so she applied for adult college and the bar exam.

Finally, I found a real college student as my husband.

She definitely wouldn't believe that teenage boys and girls would just stay in their rooms and do nothing.

But the bed was neatly made in the room, and apart from the cooler clothes her daughter wore, there was nothing to distinguish the two of them.

Maybe they came back too early.

Fortunately, they came back early.

Xia Ning is already an adult, and He Shujin does not object to her daughter doing things that only adults can do, but the prerequisite is that she must protect herself and not let herself get hurt.

After observing, she said nothing, but walked towards the kitchen with the people around her, as if nothing had happened.

The reason why Xu Wen appeared in her house was thus covered up.

"The nanny is home for the holiday today. Let me show you my cooking." He Shujin changed the subject and didn't dwell on what happened just now.

Dai Guizhen is a shy person. Although she is also curious about why her son is here, she is too embarrassed to ask.

She continued He Shujin's topic: "Last time I said I would cook, but you ended up cooking several dishes. They were so delicious."

The two mothers started discussing what to eat for lunch, taking out various ingredients from the bags as they talked.

Xia Ning and Xu Wen both breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this scene.

The two had originally planned to hide the fact that they were in a relationship, but if He Shujin insisted, they would have no choice but to confess.

Fortunately, they are no longer in high school, and even if their parents know that they are in a relationship, they will not say anything but will just give their blessings.

The only reason Xia Ning didn't want to let her mother know was that she didn't want her to interfere too much in their relationship and get involved in everything.

Now that the previous topic had been brought up, they no longer mentioned it and all stepped forward to help process the ingredients.

He Shujin bought a lot of things, including all kinds of seafood and meat. The crabs in the black bag were particularly active and even climbed onto the table, causing several women to scream.

The only one among the few people who felt something was wrong was Xu Ling.

She hadn't said anything just now, but she noticed a long black hair stuck on her brother's white shirt.

The owner of this long hair is self-evident.

Xu Ling felt like a vigilant housewife who could see the flaws in the man at a glance.

However, the person she arrested was not the mistress, but her sister-in-law.

Her brother came to Xia Ning's house alone, and with that long hair, it was easy to imagine what the two had just done.

Xu Ling's head was filled with plots from all kinds of novels that were not suitable for children.

Although the parents of both sides chose to remain silent, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Xu Wen and Xia Ning's relationship was making rapid progress.

After realizing this, Xu Ling suddenly felt melancholy and felt empty in his heart.

Since the candidate for the real sister-in-law is Xia Ning, does that mean that her sister Ruoruo has lost the election?

She likes both sisters-in-law and doesn't want to give up either of them. Can't her brother date both of them at the same time?
Xu Ling now has only one question in her mind.

Does Gu Xingruo know about her brother’s love affair?

She originally wanted to find an opportunity to ask indirectly, but the two of them seemed very happy to help in the kitchen and didn't give her any chance at all.

After finally waiting for her brother to go to the bathroom, Xu Ling quickly followed him and asked about the current situation.

"Are you and Sister Ningning together?" she asked bluntly.

Xu Wen's answer was also very straightforward: "How old are you? Study hard and don't just think about love."

After saying this, he gently tapped his sister on the head, signaling her not to talk nonsense.

"I got the first place in the grade in this monthly exam." Xu Ling covered his head and muttered softly.

She was just about to continue asking about Sister Ruoruo, but Xu Wen didn't give her a chance.

He turned around and went back to the kitchen to continue helping.

Only then did Xu Ling realize that the balance she had maintained with great difficulty was easily broken by her brother.

But there was nothing she could do, after all, it wasn't her who was in love with her two sisters-in-law.

She sighed and went back to help.

Xu Ling is now only worried about one thing: how is she going to get along with her sister Ruoruo in the future?
With the joint efforts of five people, a large table of sixteen dishes was quickly prepared.

When the tenth dish was cooked, Xia Ning's father, Xia Hai, came back from fishing.

He returned home with a six-pound carp, which became one of the dishes for dinner.

Xia Hai repeatedly emphasized that he had caught it with great difficulty, but Xu Wen always felt that he bought it at the vegetable market.

This is a common tactic used by fishermen.

Although Xu Wen had doubts in his heart, he certainly couldn't say it out loud. How could he do that to disrespect his elders?

It was already past two in the afternoon when all sixteen dishes were served, and Xia Ning finally started eating.

Xia Hai took a bottle of bulk wine from his wine cabinet and asked Xu Wen if he could drink with him.

He was not polite either. He poured himself a glass and then poured another glass for his future father-in-law.

Seeing Xu Wen was straightforward, Xia Hai nodded with satisfaction.

After everyone was seated, four drinks and two glasses of wine were raised together, wishing each other a happy Mid-Autumn Festival.

Xu Wen felt that this was probably the most ceremonial Mid-Autumn Festival he had ever experienced.

In the past, their family would buy a few mooncakes by the pound and make one or two meat dishes to get by.

Later, their mother fell ill and they never spent the Mid-Autumn Festival at home again. They celebrated all festivals, big and small, in the hospital.

Now that simple happiness is hard to come by, he cherishes it even more.

While Xu Wen was drinking, he suddenly felt his hand being pulled under the table.

Someone's pinky finger hooked on his. He knew who she was without even having to think about it.

Their fingers were tangled together under the table, but they showed nothing at the table.

They had calm expressions and occasionally chatted with their elders.

It's obviously just ordinary contact, but doing it secretly in front of the parents always feels like having an affair.

This made Xia Ning feel very excited.

She wanted to push for more, but she didn't dare to, and in the end she could only maintain the status quo.

The occasional smile that she and Xu Wen exchanged inadvertently made her feel extremely happy.

Xia Ning thought they hid well, but these little actions were seen by Xu Ling who was eating quietly.

She knew that her brother must be with Sister Ningning!

Logically, she should be happy, but the inexplicable melancholy in her heart could not be dispelled.

She inexplicably felt that Sister Ruoruo was a bit pitiful.

After dinner, He Shujin asked Xu Wen and his family to stay, saying that they should chat for a while and go out to watch the moon together in the evening.

Dai Guizhen is someone who never refuses, she agrees to whatever others say.

Xia Ning definitely wanted to stay with Xu Wen for a while longer, she even wanted him to stay there.

The only one who felt a little uneasy among the group was Xu Ling. She couldn't help but wonder, what was Sister Ruoruo doing now?

Gu Xingruo never cared about any traditional festivals.

Anyway, no matter whether it is Mid-Autumn Festival, Spring Festival or any other festival, she spends it alone, which is no different from ordinary days.

Cao Yanan would complain to her that every time this kind of festival came, she had to visit a lot of relatives, some of whom she couldn't even remember their names.

After listening to this, Gu Xingruo felt that her life was good again.

Although she was spending the holiday alone, she didn't have to deal with any annoying relatives.

The advantage of having a person is that she can do whatever she wants and eat whatever she wants.

For example, if she doesn’t like mooncakes, then she won’t eat them during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Gu Xingruo had originally planned to treat this year's Mid-Autumn Festival as just an ordinary day.

But she found out that Linjiang University had a holiday on that day and did not restrict students' freedom.

So Gu Xingruo decided to take the gifts to visit Xu Wen's aunt and sister first.

If he was at home, she would not leave. If he was not at home, she would go to the school to find him.

All students of Linda Business School were locked in school on the Mid-Autumn Festival and were only allowed to rest in the dormitory.

But Gu Xingruo is different. She has privileges and can easily get a leave note from the dean.

She returned home last night, and this morning she put on her good girl makeup and went out wearing a little white dress and little leather shoes that didn't quite match her temperament.

Gu Xingruo had checked online and found out that one should dress formally when visiting elders on such important holidays.

So she took a look at Jiang Jiaxue's usual outfits.

However, this outfit still doesn't make her look like a good girl, after all, the color of her hair is too striking.

After getting dressed, Gu Xingruo got in the car and went out with the gifts she had bought long ago.

Although she missed Xu Wen very much and wanted to meet him immediately, she chose to visit in the afternoon.

Cao Yanan told her that most families have their own things to do in the morning. Some families go out to play, while others visit relatives.

Gu Xingruo always celebrates holidays alone, so of course she is always free.

The eldest lady was not such a tactless person. She knew that she had no reason to join Xu Wen's family life now.

In the afternoon, she drove alone to the community where Xu Wen lived.

If Gu Xingruo hadn't called in advance, she planned to give him a surprise.

The closer she got to the community, the more excited she became, and in the end she even felt like crying.

She kept comforting herself that she would be able to see Xu Wen soon.

After parking the car, Gu Xingruo got out with the gift.

She walked to her door according to her memory and knocked.

She thought someone would open the door for her soon, but the brown security door in front of her only responded with silence.

Gu Xingruo already knew the answer, but she still refused to believe it and knocked on the door again, but still no one opened the door for her.

Xu Wen's family was not at home.

She checked her phone. It was past three in the afternoon. If they were out playing, they would probably be back soon.

Gu Xingruo chose to wait at the door for a while.

She leaned against the door, her mind blank.

Time passed little by little, Gu Xingruo was still in a daze, and when she came to her senses, she had been waiting for more than an hour.

It’s a pity that no one has come back home.

She had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​giving Xu Wen a surprise and took out her cell phone to call him.

When the phone was connected, Gu Xingruo realized that she hadn't heard his voice for a long time.

After a few beeps from the microphone, what she heard was not Xu Wen's voice, but the voice of a robotic woman.

"The number you dialed is currently busy."

After dinner, He Shujin invited a few people to play mahjong together.

Xu Wen and Xia Ning are already adults, so they must be invited to play together.

Dai Guizhen said that she didn't know how to play and gave up her seat.

In the end, it became two old ones beating two young ones.

Xu Wen is very skilled in mahjong. As long as there is no other player who is too good, he can basically crush the opponent in the casual field.

There is no way around it. Mahjong is suitable for all ages and even rich ladies like to play it.

However, Xu Wen did not play the game too seriously. In this kind of game, he could not win the house or the land. He just played casually to make his elders happy.

While playing mahjong, Xu Wen's cell phone suddenly rang.

After taking a quick look, he pressed the hang-up button.

For no other reason than because the note displayed above is Gu Xingruo.

Although he had no relationship with the eldest lady, it was really too much for him to answer her call at his current girlfriend's house.

"Is there anything I can help you with? We can wait for you for a while." He Shujin asked.

"It's okay. My roommate just sent a text message. He probably asked me whether I would be back home in the evening." After Xu Wen finished speaking, he made the die-cutting gesture again.

He could tell lies fluently without blushing or getting nervous, and it didn't affect his mahjong playing.

"We're not far from school, let's go home and stay overnight. I'll drive you and Ningning home tomorrow morning." He Shujin said while observing the cards on the field: "Wait a minute, wait a minute, I'll touch them!"

"No need to trouble you, Auntie." Xu Wen was talking, playing cards and texting at the same time.

Three-core operation without affecting each other.

"What's the matter? I'm outside and a little busy." He sent a text message to Gu Xingruo.

It was a while after Xu Wen sent the text message that he received a reply.

Gu Xingruo only sent him three simple words: "Then you are busy."

Seeing that she didn't say anything else, Xu Wen put down his phone and continued to concentrate on the mahjong in front of him.

As soon as he put down his phone, he touched the key card directly.

Although he couldn't always win, he couldn't always lose, so he pushed the mahjong in front of him and said, "I won."

"Of course you can. You're much better at playing than Ningning." He Shujin praised.

"Good luck, good luck." Xu Wen was very humble.

Xia Ning felt a little distracted by the sound of the mahjong machine shuffling cards.

Xu Wen hung up her phone very quickly just now, but she still saw a word on the screen.
