Liu Yu 'an looked up at her in surprise. There were still tears on her face.
Old Madam Liu naturally knew Yu Xingchui's excuse because there was no hand sanitizer in her bathroom. She glared at Liu Yu 'an and said,
On second thought, since Yu Xingchui was willing to give her a way out, she didn't want to delve into the matter anymore. Her impression of Yu Xingchui increased even more. He was a reasonable and good girl.
Old Lady Liu regained her smile and wiped the tears off Yu Xingchui's face. She smiled and said," It's good that you didn't quarrel. If Liu Yu 'an bullies you, tell Grandma. Grandma has a way to cure him!" Come, come, come. Let's go eat together."
Yu Xingchui let Grandmother Liu pull her to the dining room. Liu Yu 'an followed her to the dining room without saying a word.
Yu Xingchui sat in the seat closest to Old Lady Liu, and Liu Yu 'an sat next to her.
It was only then that Yu Xingchui raised his head and began to size up the people at the dining table. All of them had extraordinary auras and were also sizing her up intentionally or unintentionally.
At this moment, Old Lady Liu spoke up." Yu 'an, introduce Xingchui to our family and introduce her to them.”
Liu Yu 'an paused. His expression was still solemn. Yu Xingchui glanced at him from the corner of his eyes and did not say anything. She had been prepared to leave without looking back, and she had planned to never have anything to do with Liu Yu' an again!
However, when she opened the door and saw Old Lady Liu, she could not say anything. Moreover, she was so protective of her. She did not want to hurt this kind old lady, an old woman who was as kind as Old Jin.
Liu Yu 'an didn't speak for a long time. The atmosphere at the dining table was a little awkward. Old Lady Liu was about to lose her temper because she was glaring at Liu Yu' an angrily. The next second, she would pick up the spoon beside her hand and give him a crack.
At this moment, Yu Xingchui took a deep breath and stood up timidly." Hello, everyone. My name is Yu Xingchui.”
Then, she looked at Old Lady Liu." Grandma, I'm a junior, so I should greet everyone first. I came in a hurry today, so I didn't prepare a greeting gift for everyone. I hope everyone doesn't mind. I've met Yu 'an's cousin before. Hello, cousin."”
As Yu Xingchui spoke, he looked at Xu Tong's seat. The awkwardness in the table quietly dissipated. Old Lady Liu looked at Yu Xingchui with relief and nodded.
Xu Tong was stunned for a moment when he was suddenly called out. He quickly reacted and glanced at Liu Yu 'an's gloomy face. He quickly continued," Hello, hello."”
He tactfully introduced everyone present. Finally, when it came to Liu Chengbo, his expression was as gloomy as Liu Yu 'an's. Yu Xingchuan's heart sank, but he still greeted," Hello, Uncle."”
Liu Chengbo nodded slightly and greeted him. Yu Xingchui heaved a sigh of relief and sat down.
The dinner finally started smoothly. Xu Tong's mother, Liu Chenglin, glanced at Liu Yu 'an and Yu Xingchui and saw that they were absent-minded.
She paused for a moment and pretended to ask casually," Yu 'an's girlfriend, what do you do for a living? How did you meet our Yu 'an? You're the first girl our Yu 'an brought back.”
Liu Yu 'an raised his cold eyes and looked at Liu Chenglin sharply. Liu Chenglin's chopsticks trembled unconsciously, but she quickly returned to normal.
Old Lady Liu also wanted to continue listening, but Yu Xingchui still gave Liu Yu 'an a helpless look for help.
"We're neighbors. I think she has a good personality, so I tried to get along with her.”Liu Yu 'an avoided the main point and said lightly.
Xu Tong, who was picking up meat for his daughter, immediately echoed," Grandma, I told you last time. I saw that there was something fishy between the two of them that day.”
When Yu Xingchui heard this, she accidentally inhaled the rice that had just been sent into her mouth into her windpipe. She coughed uncomfortably. For a moment, she could not tell if Xu Tong's words were jealous or sarcastic.
Liu Yu 'an looked at Yu Xingchui, whose face was red from coughing. He frowned and handed the water to him.
The meal had just begun and there was still a long way to go before it ended.
Yu Xingchui finally calmed down. Liu Chengbo, who was sitting on the right side of Old Lady Liu, spoke up at this moment." May I know where Miss Yu's parents work?”
This time, Liu Yu couldn't help her, because the two of them didn't do a " rehearsal " before coming. They came directly.
Yu Xingchui knew that she couldn't hide this time. She put down the chopsticks in her hand and said slowly," I'm sorry, Uncle. My parents have passed away.”
Her words instantly made everyone at the dining table pause for a moment. They could not help but look up at her.
This included Liu Yu 'an. Old Lady Liu's eyes were filled with heartache. She held Yu Xingdui's slender hand and looked at him with pity.
It had been a long time since Yu Xingchui had seen such a look. She had often seen such a look when her parents had just passed away. Everyone around her was reminding her that she would be an orphan from now on.
Old Lady Liu caressed her head and said with heartache," Child, why are you so unfortunate? It's been hard on you."”
Yu Xing sighed softly, then pretended to smile in a relaxed manner. She said to Grandmother Liu in a comforting tone," Grandma, I'm doing well now. My parents must be very happy in the world. I was just worried that you would be unhappy.”
Tears welled up in the corners of Old Lady Liu's eyes as she patted Yu Xingdui's back gently." Silly child, this isn't your fault. How can I be unhappy? I'm very happy. You grew up so strong alone. Our Yu 'an should dote on you."”
"Did you grow up in an orphanage?”Liu Chenglin suddenly asked, looking like she was watching a good show. Liu Chengbo's expression was not bright at the moment, and even a little ugly. Clearly, a girl with such a background was not to his liking.
Liu Chenglin's words were very inappropriate. How could such a thing be asked in public? It was tantamount to letting the person involved expose his own scars. Old Lady Liu threw her an unhappy look. Surprisingly, Liu Yu 'an was also staring at her with a cold gaze at the moment.
Yu Xingchui didn't expect anyone to continue asking. He was stunned for a moment before he continued," The year my parents passed away, I was in the third year of junior high school. At first, I lived alone, but my father had bought the house with a loan. I couldn't pay the mortgage, so the house was put up as a mortgage. At that time, I had no other choice.”
At this point, Yu Xing's throat seemed to be blocked by something. She felt her nose ache because those bad memories came back like a wave. Even her heart hurt a little.
However, she continued," Later on, an old man who had been providing financial aid to poor students learned about my situation and wanted to adopt me. I was adopted for a period of time.”
"However, the old man's children had a big argument about adopting me. They didn't agree to the old man adopting me. I didn't want to make things difficult for the old man, so I went back to school. From then on, I worked part-time and lived alone.”
As he said this, Yu Xingchui stared at Liu Yu 'an's face with reddened eyes.
Liu Yu 'an did not look her in the eye this time, because Yu Xingchui's words were directed at him. He kept saying that the old man who had an improper relationship with Yu Xingchui was the one who had adopted her.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:122120183:46AM
