In the living room, Xu Yuanbai had already returned. He was talking to Xia Meizhi. Xia Meizhi was delighted to see her daughter enter. After her daughter greeted Xu Yuanbai, she quickly stood up.
"Little Yu, you're back? Ruomeng had also returned and was upstairs. I'll go to the kitchen to see if the food is ready. Go up and call Sister down to eat.”
Xia Meizhi called Xu Ruomeng's name very intimately and did not forget to remind Xia Jinyu that she was her sister. All she did was hope that Xia Jinyu and Xu Ruomeng could get along well. She also reminded Xia Jinyu that even if Xu Ruomeng's words were not very pleasant, she was still her sister and had to give in.
How could Xia Jinyu not know? He was just pretending to be ignorant. Just as she was about to go upstairs, Xu Ruomeng had already come down. Xu Ruomeng was two years older than Xia Jinyu and was now working in Xu Yuanbai's company.
Xu Ruomeng's facial features were not as good as Xu Ruiyan's. She took after their birth mother and looked a little like Xu Yuanbai. Her eyebrows curved and her almond-shaped eyes were filled with love. She looked like a Jiangnan woman. She had a noble elegance that was similar to Xu Ruiyan's.
She had a good family background and was also a well-educated young lady. In addition to her looks that could deceive the world, who in the world did not know the Xu family's daughter? After the age of 20, there was an endless stream of people who wanted to go to the door to matchmake. However, for some reason, such a gentle and magnanimous young lady from a wealthy family was very at odds with Xia Jinyu.
Xia Jinyu saw Xu Ruomeng coming down the stairs. She stopped in her tracks and nodded at Xu Ruomeng.
"Sister Mengmeng." Even if he didn't like her, his manners couldn't be bad. Xia Jin stood up straight and greeted Xu Ruomeng. Xu Ruomeng swallowed her words in response. Xia Jinyu didn't know if it was her imagination, but she felt that Xu Ruomeng was looking at her strangely today.
"Since everyone is here. Let's eat."
Xia Meizhi smiled as she entered the kitchen and asked for the dishes to be served. Xu Yuanbai sat at the head of the table. Xia Meizhi sat on his right, and Xia Jinyu sat beside her. On the other side were Xu Ruiyan and Xu Ruomeng.
Xia Jinyu had the feeling that Xu Ruomeng was really looking at her. She hadn't returned during this period of time, and she didn't know how she had offended this young miss.
The corner of his mouth twitched, and he decided to leave after dinner.
Halfway through the meal, Xia Jinyu's phone rang. The sudden ringing of the bell attracted the attention of the others. Ever since Xia Jinyu started her internship, she was used to carrying her phone with her.
When she realized that her stepfather's family was looking at her, she felt a little awkward. She picked up the phone and walked to the side to answer it.
"Hello. I'm Xia Jinyu."
This was a habit he had developed when he was working. When he answered an unfamiliar call, he would report his name.
"I'm not okay." The voice on the other end of the phone made Xia Jinyu's hand tremble, and she almost dropped the phone.
"My wife has run away. How can I get better?”His tone was 30% teasing and 70% joking. It was obvious that he was not sincere.
"…" Xia Jinyu's expression changed. She didn't expect Ji Zhanbei to know her phone number."What do you want?"
"Yes, I've already submitted my marriage report. What do you think I want to do?”
"Are you crazy?"
Who wanted to marry him?
"Yes, I'm sick. Do you have any medicine?”
"Crazy."
Xia Jinyu finally couldn't take it anymore and hung up. When she turned around, she realized that not only Xia Meizhi, but the Xu family members were also looking at her. She smiled awkwardly.
He wanted to walk back to the dining table and sit down, but Xu Yuanbai said,""What's wrong? Did you run into any trouble?"
"I'm fine." The corners of Xia Jinyu's mouth twitched. At the thought of Ji Zhanbei, that bastard, she could not help but feel angry.
"If you have any trouble at work, remember to tell me.”Xu Yuanbai truly loved his stepdaughter.
His life had been rough since he was young, but he was positive and cheerful. This was very rare. More importantly, he was independent and never had any thoughts of clinging to others. He was content with his duty, which was very rare.
Xu Yuanbai already had some pity for his stepdaughter, so he became more sincere."You're out in the wind and rain every day. If you think it's hard, don't do it. There's still a position in the company anyway. You-"
"Uncle Xu, I'm fine." Xia Jinyu shook her head. She couldn't say that it wasn't because of work."It's just a small problem. I can solve it.”
Xu Yuanbai didn't say much. Xia Jinyu was already an adult. There were many things that he could not manage.
"Are you sure it's little troublemaker?" Xu Ruomeng sneered and put down her bowl.""When the time comes, don't cause any big trouble. You still have to ask my father to solve it for you.”
"Ruomeng." Xu Yuanbai shouted and Xu Ruomeng stopped talking. However, she looked at Xu Ruiyan meaningfully before lowering her head to continue eating.
He turned to look at Xia Jinyu, and his expression eased up a lot.""Jinyu, if you really run into trouble, just tell me. I'll definitely help you.”
"Thank you, Uncle Xu." Xia Jinyu didn't take Xu Ruomeng's words to heart. He truly respected Xu Yuanbai. It was not easy to have such a promise from him. She wanted to say that she would handle it, but her phone rang again.
It was still the same phone call from before. Xia Jinyu's expression was not very good and she hung up immediately. After pressing the mute button, she continued to eat quietly.
Unexpectedly, her phone screen lit up. It was a text message: You hung up on me because you want me to propose marriage directly? Alright, I'm right outside your house now.
Xia Jinyu almost couldn't hold it in anymore. He wanted to rush out to see if that bastard was really here, but he was worried that he was bluffing. He was a little restless.
Facing the concerned gazes of the Xu family and Xia Meizhi, she was speechless. Just then, her phone rang again.
This time, Xia Jinyu didn't hesitate. She quickly stood up, grabbed her phone, and rushed to the living room outside to answer the call.
"What exactly do you want?"
"Nothing." Ji Zhanbei's tone was sloppy, and it made her angry. What he said made her even angrier.""I've already submitted my marriage report. Why don't I come and propose?”
There was a large garden outside the Xu family's house, and they could not see outside. Xia Jinyu was not sure if this man was telling the truth.
"Ji Zhanbei." His lowered voice was filled with Xia Jinyu's anger.""Are you done messing around?"
"Wife, you're being too unjust. Didn't I already say it a few days ago? You are my wife. You can't deny it, can you?"
Through the phone, Xia Jinyu couldn't see Ji Zhanbei's expression. She even thought that it was fortunate that they were talking over the phone. Otherwise, she couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't stab Ji Zhanbei with a knife.
