Chapter 774: Over time, the discomfort became more and more obvious
"Ningning, are you studying at Columbia University?" Nan Sheng looked at Wen Ning with a smile.
Wen Ning nodded: "Yes."
"How old are you?" Nan Sheng asked.
"Freshman." Wen Ning didn't hide it and answered subconsciously.
Nan Sheng was stunned, then looked at Zhou Yi.
This is ridiculous.
Nan Sheng knew without any calculation that Wen Ning had been following Zhou Yi since he was a minor.
She thought Zhou Yi would not do such a rebellious thing, but the facts still surprised Nan Sheng.
Zhou Yi did it.
Who does this resemble?
Nan Sheng was silent for a moment, not saying anything. At least she wouldn't embarrass Wen Ning at this moment, there was no need to.
"That's great. Columbia is a good school." Nan Sheng smiled.
Wen Ning also realized what he had said and became somewhat passive.
Nan Sheng nodded to Wen Ning, and the group walked in.
When he arrived at the Song family, Wen Ning discovered that Xu Jia was also there.
Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows when he looked at Xu Jia: "Why are you here?"
"I didn't know you were bringing people back today, otherwise I wouldn't have come to join in the fun." Xu Jia said frankly.
"My mother asked me to bring the things to my aunt, and then my aunt asked me to stay for dinner." Xu Jia spread his hands.
Zhou Yi nodded, but didn't say anything.
When he was a child, Zhou Yi often went to Xu's house to eat, and he got used to it after a long time.
In addition, both of them studied in the United States, but they did not stick together. After all, their personalities were completely different.
On the contrary, Wen Ning felt particularly uncomfortable when he saw Xu Jia.
It's an indescribable discomfort, a woman's intuition.
But Wen Ning couldn't express it on the surface.
Xu Jia greeted Wen Ning openly: "Hi, Wen Ning, long time no see."
Indeed, Wen Ning and Xu Jia haven't met face to face since their last meeting in the bar.
"Hello." Wen Ning nodded at Xu Jia.
Xu Jia smiled but didn't say anything.
"Come, let's eat first." Nan Sheng led Wen Ning towards the dining table.
Wen Ning followed Nan Sheng and cooperated very well.
Xu Jia walked towards Zhou Yi naturally and chatted with him in a low voice.
We were still talking about work.
But it was just enough, nothing too excessive.
Just from this posture, anyone with a discerning eye could see that they had a very good understanding of each other.
Xu Jia was obviously very familiar with the Song family, and even the housekeeper knew Xu Jia very well.
We come and go often.
Wen Ning felt as if all this was for him to see.
But Wen Ning had no evidence.
This kind of discomfort is just constant internal friction.
Even Wen Ning couldn't tell anyone about it, because if he did, it would just be his own pretentiousness and fantasy.
And in such an occasion, Wen Ning still had to face everyone with a smile.
But socializing was not something Wen Ning was good at.
Such internal friction quickly exhausted Wen Ning's energy.
At the dinner table, Wen Ning became quiet.
Most of the time, Xu Jia and Nan Sheng were chatting.
Zhou Yi spoke occasionally.
Song Xiao was very quiet and remained silent throughout the whole process.
Song Yili was also talking, and it was obvious that he had a very close relationship with Xu Jia.
Unlike when he faces himself, the hard-working look on his face, he is really familiar with Xu Jia, a familiar friend since childhood.
They can talk about their childhood, college life, and even the little things after that.
Even Shen Feng was very familiar with Xu Jia.
Suddenly, Wen Ning had an illusion.
This party became a gathering of the Xu and Song families, not just himself.
I am just a by-product, dispensable.
Wen Ning became even quieter.
"I remember you like eating spring bamboo shoots." Zhou Yi suddenly said to Wen Ning.
Wen Ning looked up at Zhou Yi, who had already put the scrambled eggs with bamboo shoots into Wen Ning's bowl.
"What Auntie cooked tastes very good, try it." Zhou Yi said gently.
Wen Ning hummed and ate quietly, "It's delicious."
"Why don't you pick it up for me?" Song Yili snorted, "You only pick it up for your sister-in-law."
These words made Nan Sheng look at Song Yili.
Song Yili changed his words too quickly.
Zhou Yi remained calm: "Don't you have hands?"
"Mom, look at my brother! He wasn't like this before!" Song Yili turned around angrily and complained to Nan Sheng.
Song Xiao naturally picked up a mouthful of scrambled eggs with bamboo shoots for Song Yili.
Only then did Song Yili smile in satisfaction.
Everyone is having a great time at the dinner table.
The only one who couldn't fit in was Wen Ning.
Xu Jia can take up any topic, after all, Xu Jia knows the Song family very well.
In the end, Nan Sheng was also chatting with the Xu family, probably because Wen Ning was too bored.
It is impossible for a person to find endless topics to chat with you.
Wen Ning was used to it.
Zhou Yi was being taken away, so naturally it was impossible for him to stay with Wen Ning all the time.
After dinner, they sat in the Song family's living room, with Wen Ning quietly accompanying Zhou Yi.
But it is wrong to say that Zhou Yi did not take Wen Ning into consideration at all.
Because for every thing Wen Ning didn't know, Zhou Yi would explain it in a low voice.
Wen Ning was listening.
But behind every incident, there is the story of the Xu family.
After a long time, the discomfort became more and more obvious.
Wen Ning seemed a little silent.
"Wen Ning, why aren't you talking?" Nan Sheng looked at Wen Ning.
Wen Ning uttered an "ah" and forced a smile. "Auntie, I'm listening to you guys chatting. I'm also very interested in Zhou Yi's past."
When Nan Sheng heard that Wen Ning liked to hear about Zhou Yi's past, she smiled and told Wen Ning about it.
The atmosphere is neither good nor bad.
This atmosphere lasted until after 10 o'clock in the evening, and Wen Ning felt a little sleepy.
Because he had to go to the Song family today, Wen Ning didn't get a good rest since last night.
We have to continue to hold on here now.
"By the way, when do you plan to get married?" Nan Sheng suddenly asked Wen Ning.
Wen Ning was stunned by the question.
It seemed as if he had never mentioned this issue to Zhou Yi. For Wen Ning, this issue was too far away.
She is not even 19 years old.
So when faced with Nan Sheng's question, Wen Ning didn't know how to answer and subconsciously looked at Zhou Yi.
"Mom, it's too early to ask this question." Zhou Yi said calmly.
Nan Sheng thought about it and didn't say anything.
Xu Jia raised an eyebrow: "I thought you were against marriage."
"Nonsense." Zhou Yi sneered.
"Okay, remember to send me an invitation when you get married, and I will definitely give you a big red envelope." Xu Jia also responded smoothly.
"Okay, why would I be polite?" Zhou Yi and Xu Jia were chatting.
The topic suddenly turned to Xu Jia, and Wen Ning was ignored again.
Wen Ning was used to it, so he lived quietly.
The conversation continued until Nan Sheng felt sleepy, and Song Xiao sent everyone back.
Zhou Yi stood up and took Zhou Ning out.
Xu Jia went out with Zhou Yi and Wen Ning.
Wen Ning glanced down at his phone. It was already 12 o'clock in the evening, which was really late.
"By the way, there is something..." Xu Jia looked up at Zhou Yi.
