She was angry, so she hung up the phone and blocked the number. All of her actions were done in one go. She turned around and was about to return to the dining room to continue eating when she saw Xu Ruiyan standing behind her, staring at her with starry eyes.
"Who called?"
Ji Zhanbei? This name sounded familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before. Xu Ruiyan couldn't remember.
Xia Jinyu didn't want to talk to him. She was feeling frustrated right now. Who knew what Ji Zhanbei was up to? What marriage report? What marriage?
Was he crazy? How many times had they met? Xia Jinyu was angry, so she naturally did not have much patience with Xu Ruiyan.
But this time, Xu Ruiyan would not let it go. Men also had a sixth sense. Xia Jinyu used to be very impulsive. She was like a firecracker that would be ignited at the slightest touch.
However, after Xia Jinyu went to university, she restrained herself quite a bit. It had been a long time since he had seen such an expression on Xia Jinyu's face. As she grew older, her heart also matured.
Occasionally, she would act like a little girl and act coquettishly in front of Xia Meizhi. However, she was no longer the little girl from back then.
But Xia Jinyu's expression just now, a certain premonition in his heart, made him almost immediately think of Xia Jinyu when he was only thirteen or fourteen years old. Xu Ruiyan suddenly felt that he might lose Xia Jinyu.
No, it wasn't lost. He had never gotten Xia Jinyu. However, he had a faint premonition that he would never have a chance with Xia Jinyu again.
That feeling made Xu Ruiyan, who had always been calm, lose control. He pulled Xia Jinyu over. The blow in the car just now was just a taste. To him, it was far from enough.
From knowing his heart to wanting to give this woman time. Then, this woman found an unpresentable boyfriend outside.
He had been holding it in and suppressing it. It was just that there were some things that couldn't be suppressed the more they were suppressed.
Especially the instinctive affirmation of a man. He was almost certain that something was slipping out of his control.
He glared at Xia Jinyu and raised his hand to lock her shoulders. He only needed to lower his head and he would be able to kiss her. At this moment, a sound came from the direction of the dining room.
"Brother." It was Xu Ruomeng's voice. She stood at the junction between the living room and the dining room."Aren't you going to eat?"
Xia Jinyu had been shocked by Xu Ruiyan's actions just now and had not thought of what he was going to do. She was shocked again when she heard Xu Ruomeng's voice.
She quickly left Xu Ruiyan's side and returned to the dining room to continue eating.
She was preoccupied and did not notice that something was wrong with Xu Ruiyan. She was just glad that Ji Zhanbei finally stopped calling.
Xu Yuanbai had also noticed that something was wrong with his son. However, the two children usually didn't have a good relationship with Xia Jinyu. They probably didn't think too much about it after seeing Xia Jinyu answer two calls in a row.
Xia Meizhi was the only one who could see clearly.
She had always thought that her stepson hated her daughter until that day when her daughter accidentally fell asleep while reading in the garden. She saw with her own eyes that her stepson gently covered her daughter with a blanket and even kissed her forehead.
She had been there before, so how could she not know what that look meant?
However, she had never expected that her proud stepson would have such thoughts about her daughter. No wonder Xu Ruiyan did not like her before, but his attitude became much better after that.
She thought that Xu Ruiyan was finally moved by her efforts. It was actually because of his daughter.
In all honesty, Xu Ruiyan was outstanding enough. If he really became her son-in-law, she would not be dissatisfied. However, they were not suitable. Other than their status, they were not suitable in any other aspect.
The two of them were siblings, and their relationship had been decided from the day she married Xu Yuanbai. She believed that even Xu Yuanbai wouldn't want to see news of siblings having an affair. That was definitely not something the Xu family would be happy to see. Therefore, even though she knew Xu Ruiyan's feelings for her daughter, she still pretended not to know.
Moreover, she had also asked her daughter indirectly. It seemed that she did not want anything to happen between her and Xu Ruiyan at all, which made her feel relieved. It was good that his daughter did not have such thoughts. If she really did, it would be troublesome.
She was not an old-fashioned parent. In fact, if Xia Jinyu really had any feelings for Xu Ruiyan, it would be useless even if she wanted to object. It was just that the Xu family's situation was a little complicated. She had tasted the hardships of this, so she naturally hoped that her daughter would marry into a relatively relaxed family.
Later on, Xia Jinyu got a boyfriend, so she was even less worried. However, when she thought about how Xia Jinyu had already broken up with Zhuang Yan, Xia Meizhi felt a little conflicted.
Seeing her stepson and stepdaughter enter one after another, she acted as if nothing had happened and let them sit down to continue eating. He just felt that it was necessary to communicate with his daughter later.
After dinner, Xia Meizhi let Xia Jinyu stay. Tomorrow was Saturday, so he didn't have to go to work. Xia Jinyu was initially unwilling, but seeing that her mother had something to say to her, she could only agree.
Xia Jinyu had just taken a shower when Xia Meizhi knocked on her door.
She had been studying outside for the past few years. By the time she started her internship, she had already saved up some money. She used the excuse of being busy with work to rent a house and move out. It was rare for him to come back once or twice a year. There were even fewer opportunities to talk to Xia Meizhi.
Therefore, when she saw Xia Meizhi looking at her with such a serious expression, she thought that something big had happened.
"What's wrong? Mom?" Xia Jinyu's relationship with her mother was quite good in private. He looked at Xia Meizhi and unconsciously fell on her stomach.""Are you pregnant? Why are you so nervous?"
"Child, what nonsense are you spouting?" Back then, Xia Meizhi had injured her body after giving birth to Xia Jinyu, so she could no longer give birth.
This was also one of the reasons why she divorced Xia Jinyu's father.
"Then what is it? You look so serious."
" Mom just wanted to ask you. You and that solemn-"
"Mom, didn't I say that we've already broken up?”
Now, the name that Xia Jinyu did not want to hear the most was probably solemn. The thought of their two-year relationship ending in a solemn betrayal made her feel as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly.
"If you don't want to hear it, I won't say it. But you're working now. If there is a good, outstanding boy chasing you, don't reject him. Give him a chance and bring him home for me to see. I-"
" Mom…" Xia Jinyu was most impatient to hear these words. It wasn't that she didn't respect Xia Meizhi, but that she didn't have the mood to do so now."Mom, I'm only twenty-three years old. Are you thinking of marrying me off now?”# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:082820187:29PM
