Chapter 171: I didn't expect it.
Before Xie Xue went to Wei's house, Xie Qingcheng gave her a beautiful haircut.
When she was young, Xie Qingcheng braided her hair almost all the time, and although she learned how to do it herself when she grew up, it didn't look as good as Xie Qingcheng did.
Xie Qingcheng said, "When you get there, you don't have to be afraid, you can say whatever you want, just be yourself, you are my sister, you don't have to please anyone."
Xie Xue nodded.
I couldn't help but ask, "Brother, will you stay with me?"
"Can't. It's something you have to face on your own."
"......"
However, seeing her nervous look, Xie Qingcheng still sighed and turned around to find a very ancient small box from the locked chest of drawers.
Xie Xue froze: "This is ......"
"This was Mom's favorite pendant when she was alive. She wore it the first time she went to see our grandpa, so let it go with you, so you'll remember that we're all here for you."
Xie Xue received the pendant in the shape of a yuyi with both hands, her voice shaking, "Wasn't this ...... previously broken by ...... by ...... by the man who Broken? ......"
"...... I've already asked the craftsman in the antique city to fix it." Suddenly mentioning "that person", Xie Qingcheng paused for a moment, but did not bother to say anything else to Xie Xue, but pulled the drawstring of the pendant loose, carefully put it on for her, directly and directly to open this chapter, and then said, "You try it. "
Ancient jade is warm and moist, and the jade pendant is worn on Xie Xue's beautiful neck, and both the girl and the jade look very elegant.
"Was it good?" Xie Xue was a little apprehensive.
"Uh-huh."
"Really ......" is still not so sure.
Xie Qingcheng: "So do you think I look good?"
"Wow, of course you're handsome ah ...... handsome from childhood to adulthood ...... how many little girls door to door handing love letters ...... middle school when there are girls chasing door to door shouting your Husband ......" Xie Xue muttered.
Xie Qingcheng immediately said, "Okay, let's not talk about it."
After a pause, he added: "You are my sister, so you should have some confidence. Xie Xue, you are very good, good at everything, not inferior to the Wei family."
Xie Xue stared at him for a moment, a warm current welling up in her heart. She had grown up being able to gain great strength whenever she had heart-to-heart conversations with Xie Qingcheng.
She reached out and hugged him, "Brother, thank you."
Xie Qingcheng patted her shoulder.
But after a few seconds ......
Xie Xue : "...... But brother, I, I'm still nervous."
Xie Qingcheng : ".................."
Forget it, it's understandable.
His parents are gone, when Li Ruoqiu went to the door, just and Xie Xue Lai aunt dinner, are so nervous to the hand to hold chopsticks, not to mention Xie Xue to face is Wei Dongheng that a large family.
He is not going to comfort Xie Xue, it is useless, the boat to the bridge naturally straight.
"You look pale." As he and Xie Xue parted ways, he sighed and looked down at her, "You going to touch up your makeup?"
"I'm so nervous I can't even feel well ...... I'm literally so nervous I'm nauseous and want to vomit ...... " Xie Xue mumbled bitterly.
"Guts are usually pretty big. This time let who took it." Xie Qingcheng handed her powder case to her, "Don't think too much about it, if they can't see you then it's their eyes that are blind, I'm still happy that I don't have to pick up a big bargain for that little white hair."
Xie Xue : "......"
"Okay, it's going to be fine, don't worry about it."
.
Evening, Wei House.
"Come, come, Xiao Xue, sit down. Don't be nervous. Eat fruit? Watching TV?"
"A, auntie I don't sit ...... what you want to do I, I I help you along."
Mrs. Wei laughed, "Why are you so flustered, we're not going to eat you."
Xie Xue came to Wei Dongheng's house for the first time, of course, very anxious, she stood next to Wei Dongheng, not even dare to breathe. Countless horrible thoughts are coming up at this time, what Mrs. Wei suddenly pulled out a check and said give you five hundred million to leave my son, what Wei father sneered and said you like this still want to enter our family door? All kinds of bloodshed scene all came, control can not control.
Just as her head was sweating, she heard Wei Dongheng whisper in her ear, "I know what you're thinking."
"Ah ......?" Xie Xue shuddered.
Wei Dongheng said, "It's an occupational disease for you to think nonsense, just relax."
"Woo ......"
"No one in my family is like what you think. They've been conditioned by me since they were young, they don't have so many rules like He Yu's family, my father, my mother, my grandfather, my grandmother, including my siblings, what I want to do, it's never my opinion that prevails. Come on, come upstairs with me, I'll show you pictures of me as a child."
Xie Xue almost didn't listen to all of it, she was so nervous that she was about to cry out, "Can I go back first ......"
"...... Eat before you go. My grandmother personally cooked ginseng chicken soup for you, she seldom cooks, the last person to drink this bowl of her soup was still Mrs. XXX, so you have to reward her with a little taste."
Xie Xue heard Mrs. xxx's name, her feet stumbled, thanks to holding on to the wall to not fall down, she trembled, "Or else, you guys better stew me ......"
Wei Dongheng: "......"
This unseen horror of hers peaked as she sat down at a table in the dining room with Wei's family.
It is obvious that although Wei Dongheng is the Wei family's most unconventional loser, his family loves him very much. For Xie Xue's first visit, the Wei family also attaches great importance to it, with the exception of Wei Dongheng's brothers who couldn't come back because of something else, everyone else was there. They sat around a large round table in accordance with the seniority and inferiority of the children.
Wei Dongheng introduced her first: "Let's start with the grandparents, this is my grandfather."
Xie Xue immediately stood up and bowed toward the hale and hearty old man at the main seat, "Grandma, how are you?"
The Guardian Family: "......"
Wei Dongheng: "...... Grandma is over here. This is Grandpa."
Grandma Wei Dongheng, with her white hair in delicate curls, white skin, and fashionable lipstick, was still an old beauty, and she smiled and waved at Xie Xue.
Xie Xue was busy turning to Grandma Wei again, "I'm sorry, I got it wrong, hello Grandpa."
The Wei family table held back for a while, but they really couldn't hold back, and led by the old man, everyone burst out laughing.
"Lao San, this little girl of yours is looking for, quite interesting and pleasing." The old man cheerfully raised his hand and said to Xie Xue, "Alright, alright girl, sit down. We'll all be a family from now on, don't be so flustered."
Xie Xue was scared by the Wei family's aura to the point that her sanity was a bit unclear, she had long been prepared for the fate of being ordered to leave, but she didn't expect her grandfather to speak to her like this as soon as he opened his mouth and raised his hand towards her, she couldn't react for a moment, and her speech didn't even go over the top of her head.
"...... Are you, are you going to give me a check?"
The old man's eyes widened, and the hand that poured himself white wine stopped, "...... What, it's not enough that my grandson has given it to you, you want a check?"
Xie Xue stumbled over her words.
Mrs. Wei smiled instead, "That's not what she meant."
And then kinda smugly, "I know what she means, I watch ho-hum dramas too."
Wei Dongheng : "Mom, don't be ashamed."
"What's the matter? You have a daughter-in-law and you think your mother is a disgrace?" Mrs. Wei smiled and winked at Xie Xue, "That's how he is. He wants to save face. I was worried that no one would want him. Thank you for solving a big problem for me."
Xie Xue : "......"
How come this hoi polloi didn't throw a check in her face? The story has no dramatic conflict at all.
Her people froze.
--It's not that she hasn't been in contact with big families before, the He family is one, there are many rules and regulations, He Yu's parents don't see anyone all day long, the whole villa is as cold as a haunted house, and occasionally when Lv Zhishu comes back, she just frowns when she sees He Yu's friends, and Xie Xue heard her and Guan Jia say once: "Don't let this kind of child into the house, there are too many valuable things in the house, who knows if she has clean hands and feet. Xie Xue once heard her say to Guan Jia: "Don't let this kind of child into the house, there are too many valuable things in the house, who knows if she is clean?"
She then got so angry that she refused to play at He Yu's house anymore.
Because her first encounter with a powerful family was something like the He family, she was a bit repulsed by most of the people in this circle, and she never expected that in the Wei family, it would be a completely different scene.
A meal down, Wei family members know the book, but what frame did not pose, the family atmosphere is also too good, laughing and joking, grandparents and grandchildren can also flirt with each other.
Unlike the He family, when He Yu and He Jiwei Lv Zhishu sat together, the three of them hardly even spoke a word.
Xie Xue slowly got infected by the atmosphere and relaxed.
"Your hair is so beautiful." Wei Dongheng's sister was a great beauty, she smiled and touched Xie Xue's hair and said, "I have a hair crown in my upstairs workroom, I designed it myself, it must be very pretty on you, later you go upstairs and try it on with me, and if you like it, it will be a gift for you and Lao San to use in their wedding photos."
"You can design hair crowns!" Xie Xue was pleasantly surprised.
Sister Wei smiled and said, "Yeah."
"She did her PhD in a related field in Milan and is now a Chinese designer for Bulgari."
Xie Xue : ".................."
"But I think her designs are particularly ugly and earthy to the point of giving people a headache. I'll braid a grass circle for you to wear on your head later, that's more fairy-like."
Sister Wei smiled and ground her back teeth, "Wei Dongheng, you're going to die aren't you?"
Everyone is chatting with each other, and they are all making plans for the official engagement in a few months' time. Maybe it is the military family is not formal, actually not at all for the unmarried girl shy, words as if it is a family.
Xie Xue, sitting here among the round tables, recalls the dislike she received when she first came into contact with this circle in her childhood, and she can't help but feel a slight wetness in her eyes.
She did not know why the outside world always said that the Wei family's family education was not good, and taught Wei Dongheng such a loser son, and all praised Lv Zhishu and He Jiwei as being good - obviously it was not like that.
The meal was almost over, and we talked for a while, Mrs. Wei sat down next to Xie Xue, took her hand and began to chat with her with a smile on her face.
"Are you used to eating everything? Lao San said you like chili, so we made some spicy stir-fries, are they flavorful enough?"
"If you like it, let me know in advance next time you come and I'll even have the cook make it for you."
"You are better now, right, not so nervous, will be more familiar in the future, what ever you have to say you can directly talk to us, we Dongheng is too capricious, if he makes you unhappy, you tell me, I will definitely scold him for you, and I can even beat him up. ...... By the way, do you like to watch "A Thousand Golden Princesses"? How about The Noblewoman's Metamorphosis?"
Wei Dongheng : "...... mom."
Xie Xue, however, suddenly said in surprise, "Auntie, you like 'The Noblewoman's Metamorphosis'!"
"Yeah!"
"I went to that show as a scene-stealer when I was working part-time in college!"
"Really?!"
Wei Dongheng: "?"
After rambling on for quite a while, both of them chatted with smiles on their faces, until Old Man Wei ordered that everyone could disperse to rest, the two women still refused to stop.
"Alright, alright, it's not like we don't have anything to talk about, if you want to ask Xie Yaotou to watch the eight o'clock program with you, just call her." Old Man Wei said to Mrs. Wei, "And isn't next week the celebration of Lao San's upcoming graduation? You can nag at the banquet as well."
"Right." Mrs. Wei said to Xie Xue, "Graduation season is coming soon, we're going to have a party and invite a lot of friends. You'll come too, you're our future daughter."
Xie Xue is nervous again.
"It's okay, relax, by the way, I'm going to ask someone to design a more formal and beautiful invitation, will you help me send it to your big brother? It's about time we met up with him."
Xie Xue blushed and whispered, "Good ......"
Adding, "I also have a neighbor aunt who is not related to me by blood, but after my mother left, she was as good as a real mother to my brother and me. Auntie, can I bring her too ......"
Said blushing a little more, but still firm.
Mrs. Wei sized her up, and finally sighed softly, actually a little heartbroken, "It's rare to have a child like you who knows how to repay." She hugged Xie Xue, "Of course, we all have her to thank for this, and your brother, they raised you so well, so understanding."
The meeting with the Wei family ended like this, Xie Xue never expected it to be such a happy and relaxing meal, and she still didn't return to her senses when she was accompanied by Wei Dongheng around the big garden downstairs.
Only couldn't stop and Wei Dongheng foolishly said, "Wei Dongheng, your mom is so nice."
"Your grandfather is so nice."
"Your sister is so nice."
"Your family is exceptionally nice."
Wei Dongheng couldn't help but roll his eyes as he looked at her like a fool and dragged her over, "What about me, you ordered our whole family one by one, why didn't I."
"Oh, I forgot."
"...... forgot to pay for compensation." He said pulling her a little closer, smiling and lowering his head about to embrace her.
However, just then ......
Xie Xue suddenly covered her mouth and turned her face away violently, and a few seconds later, she blanched and let out a "Vomit--".
Wei Dongheng was startled: "What's wrong with you? Did you eat badly?"
Xie Xue clutched his hand and shook her head, only to feel the nausea flooding upwards in a burst. She busily asked Wei Dongheng, "Where is the restroom in your house? The nearest one."
Wei Dongheng immediately took her there.
In the washroom, Xie Xue almost threw up all of her dinner, she could not easily slow down, and looked at her suddenly pale face in the mirror for a while, not knowing why she suddenly felt so bad. But as she thought about it, her heart suddenly thumped, as if she had thought of something.
The thought made the last bit of blood on her face disappear.
She, she shouldn't be ......
