Chapter 908 I just came along to freeload a meal

Chu Xue sighed softly, "Alright, I know. I've already tried to appease you. Otherwise, do you think Rui Rui would give you a kind look today?"

Xiao Wanpeng smiled and clasped his hands together, saying, "Then thank you, Fourth Brother."

Seeing that it was getting late, Chu Xue said, "Let's talk as we walk."

Xiao Wanpeng immediately realized that his cousin probably had something to tell him: "Are you going home for lunch?"

Chu Xue nodded: "There probably won't be any food at your home. We're having lamb chops stewed at home today. Do you want to come home with me?"

Xiao Wanpeng, who had previously helped tidy up the yard at his home, said, "Sure, I'll come over and mooch a good meal. By the way, I heard you were attacked by wolves in Inner Mongolia. Were you alright?"

Chu Xue shook her head: "No, don't tell Grandpa about this, so he won't worry."

Xiao Wanpeng nodded and replied, "I understand."

Chu Xue then got down to business: "You know about Rui Rui's family situation. His two sisters-in-law are not only snobbish but also greedy. Their relationship with Rui Rui was not good to begin with, and postponing the wedding banquet made them lose face even more. Naturally, they didn't treat Rui Rui well. His father was caught in the middle, which made things even more difficult for him."

Xiao Wanpeng is a smart man: "I understand. Don't worry, I will make sure Rui Rui and his father have a good New Year."

As soon as the two left the factory gate, they saw Fu Yancheng waiting for them not far away.

Chu Xue asked with a smile, "How long have you been waiting?"

Fu Yancheng took the things from her hands: "I just arrived. I came over as soon as I finished my business."

As he spoke, he smiled and nodded to Xiao Wanpeng, as if to say hello.

Chu Xue gestured for Xiao Wanpeng to get in the car, then looked at Fu Yancheng and said, "My eldest uncle and aunt went to the Northeast to attend my third brother and sister-in-law's wedding. My fourth brother didn't have any food when he got home, so he brought her home for a free meal."

The group chatted and laughed as they got into the car. But as soon as Xiao Wanpeng got in, he noticed a crossbody bag on the back seat, and something that had fallen out looked familiar: "Fu Yancheng, did you buy Chu Xue a cashmere sweater?"

Fu Yancheng glanced in the rearview mirror and asked, "How did you know it was a cashmere sweater?"

Xiao Wanpeng smiled broadly: "It seems we have the same taste. I heard the department store only brought back six red cashmere sweaters this time, and I didn't expect you to have managed to snag one."

Fu Yancheng didn't tell him that he had asked someone else to reserve it for him in advance: "This color suits people and is also festive. It looks good, so I bought one for Chuxue."

Friendships are so absurd. Just because the two bought the same cashmere sweaters for their fiancées, they started chatting. They found they were kindred spirits and talked all the way home.

Xiao's mother had only met Xiao Wanpeng twice, and she was taken aback when she saw the person who came.

Xiao Wanpeng called out, "Second Aunt."

With Chu Xue's prompting, Xiao's mother finally realized what was happening: "Come in quickly, come in and sit down."

Chunxiao had already returned. Upon seeing the person, she jumped up and said, "Fourth cousin, you're here! Oh my, my mom made lamb chops. You're in for a treat!"

Xiao Wanpeng was surprised by his younger cousin's enthusiasm: "I just came here with your second sister to freeload a meal."

Xiao's mother has been interacting more with the neighbors lately, and her manners have improved a lot: "We're all family, so why talk about freeloading? We don't live far away. If you like your aunt's cooking, we'd love for you to come over often."

As they were talking, Xiao's father returned: "Wan Peng is here."

"Second Uncle, you're back."

Xiao's mother looked at her husband: "You weren't on the early shift today, why are you back so early?"
