The woman in front of her is not only beautiful but also has a good temperament, wearing a water blue pullover sweater on the upper body and a gray pencil skirt on the lower body, standing tall and capable.
Although she was well maintained, it could be seen that she was a little old, and her eyebrows and eyes were similar to those of Xu Chen's. Kai Yuan speculated that she might be his mother or sister.
So this is not his other love nest.
Kai Yuan was a little embarrassed because she guessed wrong, and was angry with herself.
She is jealous!
Damn, she's actually jealous!
"Thank you, but I'm sorry, I just..."
"I heard that you sent A-Chen to the hospital." Mother Xu interrupted her lightly, not letting her refusal come out. "Thank you very much, if it weren't for you, my son might have died of illness at home."
"No, I am..."
Mother Xu stepped forward and took her hand.
"I hope you don't think my craftsmanship is poor."
"Oh, of course not, but..."
"I knew you were coming. To thank you, I cooked two extra dishes. A-Chen didn't know my intentions and you can blame me for saying that. He can't eat vegetables, why should I cook vegetables? Tell me, does this child have a conscience?"
She cooked two dishes especially for her?
Isn't this... just not giving her room to refuse?
Even if Kai Yuan can be hard on the Xu Chen, why would dhe be so embarrassed to reject her elders?
Seeing that Kai Yuan didn't refuse again, Mother Xu pushed the boat in and pulled the person in.
The Xu family's house is a building within a building. The interior decoration is simple and elegant, the building materials are meticulous and noble, and every piece of furniture is exquisite, even better than that of Xu Chen's.
Kai Yuan speculated that 80% of Xu Chen's family were from wealthy families, and Xu Chen was three generations of wealthy families with amazing assets.
They are people from another world.
She thought, even if Xu Chen really liked her, she couldn't be their daughter-in-law based on her family background.
Thinking like this, she can't help but feel fortunate that she left early and didn't waste a lot of her youth.
Mother Xu brought Kai Yuan to the dining room.
In the dining room, there is a long table that can accommodate ten to twelve people. In the center of the table are potted flowers made of lilies, white phalaenopsis, hydrangea, giant wheel wandai orchid.
Mother Xu noticed her gaze and smiled, "I arranged this myself, is it okay?"
"It's beautiful." She nodded.
"If I hadn't become a lawyer, I would have become a flower designer. I think when I retire, I plan to open a flower shop to fulfill my childhood wish." Mother Xu asked with a smile, "Do you like flowers?"
"Yes."
"Then do you want to go to class with me?" Mother Xu warmly invited.
"Uh..." Going to class with Xu Chen's mother?
"Mom, you're taking an advanced course, how can you ask someone to go?" Xu Chen sat down on the dining chair.
"How do you know that she can't take advanced courses?" Mother Xu favored her son.
"She never learned flower arrangement."
"Haven't you?" Mother Xu asked Kai Yuan.
"No." Kai Yuan shook her head.
"Otherwise, you can take the begginer course."
"I... I may not have the time," Kai Yuan said with a look of embarrassment. "I'm sorry."
His mother was so strange and too warm, right?
Is it just because she sent Xu Chen to the hospital?
"Is that so." Mother Xu showed a look of regret. "By the way, sit down quickly. I forgot to ask you to sit while I was talking."
Mother Xu helped her pull the chair, and Kai Yuan thanked her and sat down.
"Because A-Chen's stomach is uncomfortable, we'll eat porridge, do you mind?"
"No, I don't mind."
"That's good."
During the meal, Kai Yuan was always worried about whether Mother Xu would ask her about her relationship with Xu Chen, her family background, etc., but she didn't ask any of these questions, but talked about herself and Xu Chen. She ingeniously guided Kai Yuan to talk about her own affairs.
This meal was not as awkward and lengthy as Kai Yuan imagined, on the contrary, it was quite enjoyable.
After the meal, Mother Xu made tea again and brought out a small snack for Kai Yuan to eat.
It was nearly nine o'clock when Mother Xu let them go back.
"Kai Yuan, I'll trouble you to take A-Chen back."
Mother Xu cautiously put the car key she brought back into her palm again.
"You're welcome to drop by."
"Thank you, drive carefully."
After they left, Mother Xu tidied up the house, and her husband came back at about half past eleven.
While tidying up her husband's suit, Mother Xu said in a casual tone, "I saw the girl that A-Chen like today and ate with her."
"He brought his girlfriend back to see you?" While he was not at home?
Father Xu was silent on the surface but he was jealous in his heart.
"Not a girlfriend yet..." Mother Xu briefly talked about Xu Chen's illness.
Father Xu was silent for a while.
"How about that girl?"
"Ordinary girl." Mother Xu smiled slightly: "But she is frank and upright, and has good conduct."
"You just don't want to say that she's like Cinderella!"
"No, you are wrong." Mother Xu covered her mouth and chuckled, "She doesn't care about your son at all, and," she sighed. "She didn't want to flatter me either. I think I don't have any hope of being someone's mother-in-law."
"Ah?" Father Xu turned his head in surprise.
