"Jiale, Jianing, how come you’re here?" Wang Chengdong was very pleased to see the two nephews and introduced them with a smile, "You’ve met Mr. Dai and you know Xiuming, so no need for introductions. This is Ancheng; you can call him Brother Ancheng."
"Ancheng, these are my two nephews, both from East Province University." Wang Chengdong spoke gently to Xu Ancheng, with a touch of admiration.
Gu Jianing looked at Xu Ancheng, who was handsome and tall, and her cheeks involuntarily turned slightly red, but she quickly greeted him gracefully, "Brother Ancheng."
Xu Ancheng smiled and greeted the two of them.
The Gu siblings had just run over when they saw Wang Chengdong. After a few words, Yi Roujing and the others walked up. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
"Oh, Zhenyan and Zhenhua are here too." Wang Chengdong saw the Dai siblings and greeted them happily.
"Mr. Wang." Dai Zhenyan and Dai Zhenhua greeted politely.
"Sister-in-law." Chang Xiuming recognized Yi Roujing among the group and called out with bright eyes.
Xu Ancheng had already walked over, taking Baozi from Dai Zhenyan’s hands, and it was clear from their resemblance that they were father and son.
"Mr. Wang, this is my wife Yi Roujing, and this is my son Xu Muyi." Xu Ancheng introduced Yi Roujing and Baozi to Wang Chengdong with a smile, as he was the only one unfamiliar with them.
"Hello, Mr. Wang." Yi Roujing greeted with a smile.
The Baozi in Xu Ancheng’s arms solemnly said, "Hello, Sir Wang."
"Good, good." Wang Chengdong praised with a smile, "Truly a perfect couple, and the child is outstanding as well."
Wang Chengdong was knowledgeable about the Xu Family’s situation. Before meeting Xu Ancheng, he thought that after more than twenty years in rural areas, the earthy scent couldn’t be concealed. But after meeting him, even the children educated personally by Jing City’s elite couldn’t be so exceptional. It was evident that the Xu Family had good roots; even in less favorable conditions, they turned out outstanding.
However, since Xu Ancheng married in the countryside, no matter how good he was, his wife wouldn’t compare to a girl groomed by an elite family. But seeing Yi Roujing in person, her demeanor and innate elegance were impressive. Not only was the Xu family’s found son exceptional, but even the daughter-in-law was presentable, and their child seemed intelligent too.
"Uncle, these are all students from East Province University. This is my good friend, all from Huaixi County. This trip to East Province is a great chance to meet her." Yi Roujing introduced Guo Xiangxiang and others, and Dai Chunsheng nodded with a smile.
Not knowing what was going on, Yi Roujing whispered to Xu Ancheng’s ear shortly, and then they said goodbye to Dai Chunsheng and the others, heading upstairs to a private dining room.
Baozi returned to Dai Zhenyan’s arms, waving his small hand at Xu Ancheng and the others.
"Mr. Xu is still as charming as ever." Guo Xiangxiang praised once they were upstairs, "And as for you, Roujing, there’s nothing more to say. When you appear, all eyes are on you."
"But of course, you’re so beautiful and exceptional. Who wouldn’t take another look at you in a crowd? It’s a wonder he could look away." Although Xu Ancheng was great, Yi Roujing was more exceptional in Guo Xiangxiang’s eyes.
Yi Roujing playfully scolded Guo Xiangxiang with a glance, "You should consider your own life matters; my child is already grown enough to run errands."
"I’m enviable. How nice it would be to have a son as cute as Baozi right away." Guo Xiangxiang sighed.
"Zhenhua, your big cousin really is a dashing figure, and your big cousin-in-law is also beautiful." Even though Gu Jianing blushed at Xu Ancheng’s appearance, she was only attracted to a good-looking man, and knowing he was married with a son now, she wasn’t as smitten as at first sight.
"Does your big cousin have any brothers like him? You shouldn’t let good things go to outsiders." Gu Jianing whispered as she linked arms with Dai Zhenhua.
"Pfft—" Dai Zhenhua chuckled, "Don’t dream about it. The Xu Family just has Big Cousin, and the Ding Family is my aunt’s, whose two kids are married already. One married a wife, another married off, so be sensible."
"Oh." Gu Jianing sighed, "Zhenhua, please keep an eye on your relatives for me. I realize that your family’s relatives are all good-looking."
"Don’t be so superficial."
"Admire the looks first, then the talent. Isn’t that how people are? I am, anyway." Gu Jianing said earnestly, "I don’t want someone who’s not good-looking."
"What about my third brother..."
"No, your third brother isn’t interested in me." Gu Jianing waved her hand, "Honestly, I’ve met him many times, and to me, he’s just an ordinary classmate, a good friend’s brother. It’s not a match. It’s just a pity, such a good one in front of me."
Dai Zhenhua found it quite amusing.
"By the way, your opinion on my brother?" Gu Jianing whispered, "You’re so smart, I doubt you haven’t noticed my brother’s thoughts."
"Actually, I’m not into purposeful approaches." Dai Zhenhua said frankly, "Although the family background thinking is correct, I don’t agree if it’s the sole measure."
"The way your brother treated me at first and after knowing I’m my dad’s daughter, that difference... don’t tell me you didn’t notice." Dai Zhenhua looked at Gu Jianing.
"I noticed." Gu Jianing nodded helplessly, "He originally had a slight fondness for you, but he’s our family’s only son, and marriage matters aren’t his decision, so he controlled himself, avoiding too much contact with girls, fearing... After knowing about your family, knowing there’s hope, he began pursuing aggressively."
"But girls don’t like this. I secretly tried stopping it several times, but my brother lacks experience, just clumsily clinging on."
After hearing this, Dai Zhenhua felt slightly less ill of Gu Jiale. It turned out to be like that, but...
"You sound quite experienced." Dai Zhenhua teased, "Are there plenty of young boys pursuing you like this?"
Gu Jianing clicked her tongue, "Can’t hide from you, but none of those who approach are to my taste, which is frustrating."
Guo Xiangxiang ordered a table of good dishes today, and everyone ate happily. Wu Cuihua seemed a bit embarrassed, repeatedly saying it was too costly for Guo Xiangxiang.
Zhang Erqiang was eating at a state-owned restaurant for the first time, inwardly marvelling at Wu Cuihua’s friend’s generosity. The household must be wealthy, no wonder she could rent her own place, and such a nice little villa too.
Zhang Erqiang and Wu Cuihua had several years of emotional foundation, so even with amazement, he didn’t entertain any thoughts. But others might not think the same way.
