Chapter 652: My Mother's Family
Ou Hongxin's 70th birthday is in full swing. The banquet hall on the second floor where Mr. Ou is is brightly lit and packed with guests.
On the second floor of the Ou family's old house, next to the fountain on the large open terrace, Li Chuyue saw Xu Zhishan who had suddenly disappeared in front of her.
Li Chuyue found that Xu Zhishan looked as if she had seen a ghost. She asked Xu Zhishan the reason and was curious about Ou Jinghuan's whereabouts.
After Li Chuyue's repeated inquiries, Xu Zhishan finally reacted, quickened her pace towards Li Chuyue, and gave a brief answer.
Xu Zhishan knew that Ou Jinghuan was going to deal with those who spoke ill of Li Chuyue, but she didn't know if it was now.
And she knew clearly that her cousin didn't let her tell Li Chuyue what happened before because he was worried about Li Chuyue.
Therefore, she did not say much, and when faced with Li Chuyue's questions, she simply evaded them.
In order to prevent Li Chuyue from having wild thoughts, Xu Zhishan suppressed her heartache for Li Chuyue and suggested:
"My cousin will come to see us when he's done with his work, so let's not stay in this boring place all the time!
We also went into the banquet hall, which was more lively and the food was updated the most up-to-date.
With me here, anyone who is not brainless and knows the stakes won’t dare to do anything to you, so let’s go~”
Li Chuyue saw that Xu Zhishan didn't want to make her worry, although she knew that Ou Jinghuan and Xu Zhishan left because of her.
But the way Xu Zhishan concealed it, especially the fact that the way Xu Zhishan looked at her now was different from before, she noticed some changes.
This made her even more curious about what Ou Jinghuan and Xu Zhishan said after they left?
From the word "come down" that Xu Zhishan said just now, she could roughly guess that Ou Jinghuan was probably not on the second floor, but upstairs.
She was curious about what Ou Jinghuan was doing upstairs now. Was it her job?
Although Li Chuyue didn't want to cause trouble to Ou Jinghuan, who was already very busy, because of her own affairs.
But she also knew that she could not stop Ou Jinghuan from doing something for her.
Even if she wanted to stop him, Ou Jinghuan, who was in a bad mood, obviously didn't want to be found by her.
Therefore, Li Chuyue did not intend to ask any more questions, but directly agreed to Xu Zhishan's proposal.
She pulled Dai Jinyao and Lidina beside her and prepared to follow Xu Zhishan to the banquet hall.
"Shanshan, Chuyue?"
Suddenly, just as Li Chuyue and her group were about to walk towards the banquet hall, a woman's voice shouted from the side.
Hearing this, Li Chuyue and Xu Zhishan subconsciously looked back and found that the woman who called them was an elegant middle-aged woman.
Li Chuyue looked back and saw that the woman who called her was Ou Jinghuan's mother, and a polite smile appeared on her face.
When Xu Zhishan saw that the person calling her was her aunt, who doted on her the most besides her mother and father, a bright smile appeared on her face.
She immediately became excited, waved to Ou Jinghuan's mother Xia Shumei, and prepared to change direction and run towards Ou Jinghuan's mother.
Suddenly, she thought of something and immediately glanced sideways at Li Chuyue.
Then, she walked to Li Chuyue's side, took Li Chuyue's arm, and then walked to the left, and responded happily:
"Aunt! Long time no see!
I didn’t expect my aunt to come to the birthday party! I’m so happy!
Li Chuyue saw Xu Zhishan hurriedly pulling her towards Ou Jinghuan's mother and she smiled helplessly.
She had known that Ou Jinghuan's mother would come to the birthday party, and she had originally planned to go and say hello after seeing her today.
At this time, she saw Xu Zhishan anxious to take her to meet her parents-in-law, so she could only smile helplessly and ran after her.
After Li Chuyue was pulled to run, she immediately looked at Dai Jinyao and Lidina behind her and said:
"You guys come along too, we'll go to the banquet hall together later.
Hey! Shanshan, slow down!
Jinyao, Lidina, we need to go greet people first, please wait a moment."
After Dai Jinyao and Lidina nodded to show that they understood, Dai Jinyao discussed fashion with Lidina, and Lidina also enthusiastically shared her views.
The two of them slowly followed while chatting about clothing and fashion.
At this time, Xu Zhishan brought Li Chuyue to Xia Shumei. Xia Shumei answered Xu Zhishan's previous question in a gentle voice and said:
“I was a little bored after I came back from traveling.
And why are you here? Your mother and her family just went to celebrate Mr. Ou’s birthday. Aren’t you going with them?
Hearing this, Xu Zhishan giggled, and she tightened her grip on Li Chuyue's hand slightly, revealing a somewhat mischievous look, and replied:
"If I go with my mother and father, I'll have to listen to them chatting with others along the way.
The most important thing is that I have to accompany Chu Yue, who is visiting the Ou family for the first time. I am now Chu Yue's family member, and I can't let anyone bully her!"
When Li Chuyue heard Xu Zhishan actually talking about her in-laws in front of Ou Jinghuan, her eyes widened instantly.
Usually, Xu Zhishan can joke in any way she wants, and Li Chuyue, who can't stop Xu Zhishan from talking nonsense, can only smile helplessly in the end.
However, she never expected that Xu Zhishan would joke like this in front of Ou Jinghuan's mother, and she couldn't laugh for a while.
Li Chuyue was worried that Ou Jinghuan’s mother would misunderstand her after hearing what she had just said.
She might have made Xu Zhishan believe privately that she was the one Ou Jinghuan would marry next.
So, she secretly pulled Xu Zhishan's hand, lowered her voice and reminded her in Xu Zhishan's ear:
"Shanshan, stop talking nonsense!"
Hearing this, Xu Zhishan let go of Li Chuyue's arm, and instead hugged Li Chuyue's shoulders, whose face was blushing, and said with a smile:
"Hahaha, it's okay, my aunt is a very nice person. I mentioned you to her before you were with my cousin.
You don’t know how excited your aunt was at that time, hahaha, she kept urging me to match you and your cousin.
Besides, my aunt said she wanted to be your family member even before I did! Aunt, am I right? "
When Li Chuyue heard Xu Zhishan's words, she was stunned at first. She was very nervous and looked up at Ou Jinghuan's mother.
Ou Jinghuan's mother Xia Shumei kept looking at Li Chuyue. When Li Chuyue looked up at her, she narrowed her eyes slightly.
Then, Xia Shumei followed Xu Zhishan's words, smiled gently, nodded and admitted:
"That's right, here, we are your family, you don't have to be afraid or worried."
Li Chuyue and Xia Shumei's eyes met, and she saw that Xia Shumei was staring at her and smiling, and her smile seemed very loving.
Especially, she felt even more embarrassed when she heard Xia Shumei's answer without any hesitation.
Li Chuyue recalled that when she first met Ou Jinghuan's mother in the Qingyue Bay mansion, Ou Jinghuan's mother looked at her and smiled like this.
At that time, she did hear Ou Jinghuan's mother say that Xu Zhishan had been mentioned to her before.
At that time, she thought that Ou Jinghuan's mother's "mentioned" was just a casual remark.
Li Chuyue didn't expect that what Xu Zhishan and Ou Jinghuan's mother said in private was to recognize her as one of their own.
She was particularly touched, especially since she had lost her mother, grandmother and grandfather at an early age, and it had been a long time since she felt the love of her relatives again.
She felt mixed emotions, but what she felt more was the love and support of her family, which made her feel warm inside.
Li Chuyue entered the Ou family and after meeting Ou Jinghuan's mother, she felt the strong nervousness of meeting the parents for the first time.
But after hearing what Xu Zhishan and Ou Jinghuan's mother said, and seeing the particularly sincere look in Ou Jinghuan's mother's eyes when she looked at her.
The nervousness she had just felt instantly reduced, although she was still a little nervous.
But the smile on her face also became much more natural, and it was all joy from the heart.
At this time, Li Chuyue faced the approval of Xu Zhishan and Ou Jinghuan's mother. She blushed and was slightly shy. She responded:
"Thank you, Auntie and Shanshan. I will be with Jinghuan wholeheartedly and take our relationship seriously."
When Xia Shumei heard what Li Chuyue said, she snatched Li Chuyue from Xu Zhishan.
She took Li Chuyue's arm and said with a hint of anger and expectation:
"We are treating you well, what does that stupid boy have to do with it?
I tell you, the most important thing for a woman is to be happy! As for men, if they can't bear to see you unhappy, just dump them!
But... Jinghuan makes you angry. If you don't want Jinghuan, then come and be my daughter!
I've always envied my sister for giving birth to such an interesting and lovely daughter like Shanshan. Your daughter has finally fulfilled my dream of having a daughter!"
