Chapter 57 Peeling the Crab

At a quarter past eight, the moon hangs over the branches of the sweet-scented osmanthus tree.

The elders of the Chen family came together.

Xuan Zhi adjusted the camera, ready to help Chen Xinyu and Grandma Chen take a group photo in front of the osmanthus tree, but at the moment the shutter was pressed, several elders who stepped into the vertical flower gate were also framed in the camera lens.

Liang Yue walked in the front with Chen Moliang on her arm, while Zhang Lianyi and Chen Huaiting were behind.

After that, it was Chen Xinyu, Chen Jiase's parents, and other elders.

Seeing Chen Jingpei's parents, Xuan Zhi felt somewhat nervous, and tried to focus on Liang Yue and Chen Moliang as much as possible, and when they approached, he politely greeted them: "Hello, Uncle Chen, and Teacher Liang."

When she was 15 years old, she came to Feicheng, and when she met Chen Yunze's parents for the first time, Chen Yunze taught her to call them this way.

Liang Yue was gentle and dignified, and she didn't hide her love for Xuan Zhi at all. As soon as she walked over, she held Xuan Zhi's head first, and said with pity: "My good girl, why did you lose weight again? Did you not eat well on time? If If you let Aze know, you will feel distressed. You must eat more later."

"Okay, Teacher Liang." Xuan Zhi nodded obediently.In response to the words, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Chen Jingpei coming out of the chess and card room.

At this time, Chen Huaiting, who was standing behind Chen Moliang, became furious immediately, and just missed poking his finger on the bridge of Chen Jingpei's nose, "You bastard, you still have the face to come over for dinner!"

Yesterday, it was supposed to be the day of engagement with the Wen family, but a few days ago Chen Jingpei blatantly refuted the rumors on the TV station, and the city was full of uproar.

Moreover, just now Wen Jinlang called, saying that Wen Shanni has been eating or drinking these days, and the doctor diagnosed her as suffering from mild depression. If this continues, she may have a tendency to commit suicide.

Wen Jinlang also said that he hoped that within three days, the Chen family could come up with a proper solution, otherwise, Mrs. Wen might announce the marriage token of the Chen family, and the Chen family would be thoroughly recognized among the famous families. Losing prestige will also affect the future career of the Chen family's heirs.

Wen Jinlang finally said: "We have been classmates for decades, and we have experienced so many trials and hardships together, so our relationship is self-evident. But what Ah Pei did this time is really too much. Even if he doesn't like Shanni, You can't leave no room for it. Shanny is always a girl with a thin skin, and she can't stand such a big public opinion and criticism. I'm just such a daughter, Huai Ting."

The last sentence seems very weak.

Chen Huaiting once witnessed him kneeling on the frozen Changling Mountain, holding the portrait of his daughter Wen Xixi smiling innocently, and crying heartbreakingly, saying: "Huai Ting, our family Xixi is too delicate. I won't be your daughter-in-law. We will never be in-laws."

At that time, his eyes turned red all of a sudden, and he promised: "Xixi is already my daughter-in-law. I will enter her into the Chen family tree. If Ah Pei wants to get married in the future, I will let him and Xixi's spiritual position The wedding first. Xixi will always be the daughter-in-law of our Chen family, and will always be Ah Pei's wife. We will always be in-laws."

Later, when Mrs. Wen found out about this, she teased Wen Jinlang to make Chen Huaiting agree to transfer the marriage token to Wen Shanni...

Chen Huaiting didn't really want to force Chen Jingpei to marry Wen Shanni, but in that situation at the time, he always felt that it would be a pity if the Chen and Wen families couldn't get married.

That's why today's situation is created.

"Aren't you going to sever the father-son relationship with me! How come you have the face! You bastard!" Chen Huaiting cursed angrily.

Grandma Chen felt sorry for her grandson, so she put on an old face and said displeasedly: "Bastards, you are born too! If you hadn't messed up the mandarin ducks yourself, you wouldn't have made such a mess! You can only count and scold my grandson, but never reflect on whether you have done anything wrong!"

"If I also asked you to marry someone you don't like, would you be willing?" Grandma Chen asked soulfully, "I let you be an official, but I don't want you to put on the airs of an official all day long to bully your own son." !"

"Let me tell you, Huai Ting, since Ah Pei doesn't like this marriage, then I will quit. I don't believe that old lady of the Wen family dares to buy and sell by force!"

"People get divorced when they get married, and my grandson and her granddaughter are just engaged to a child marriage, and they haven't even written off their characters. She can rely on the marriage tokens handed down by our ancestors. How! Those are just play tricks, if she is rare, I can give her two more tomorrow, I really don’t believe in evil!"

The more Grandma Chen talked, the more annoyed she became. Originally, she didn't want to take care of these housework anymore, but Chen Jingpei had always resisted this marriage, so she had to stand up and support him.

Zhang Lianyi saw that her mother-in-law was very angry, so she quickly comforted her and persuaded Chen Huaiting, "Okay Huaiting, today is a big holiday, let's not make mom angry, what's the matter, let's talk about it tomorrow, okay?" ?”

She has always been submissive to Chen Huaiting.

Chen Huaiting had no choice but to restrain his anger and not scold Chen Jingpei for the time being.

Liang Yue smoothed things over at the right time, "Okay, let's eat quickly. Don't starve our Zhizhi to death. Look at this child, he was so scared that his palms were sweating just now. Second Uncle, you really want to be so violent." Change it, don't scare away my future daughter-in-law someday."

"Hahahahaha." As soon as these words came out, Chen Moliang first laughed heartily, and the other elders also laughed heartily.

The atmosphere gradually became harmonious.

Xuan Zhi finally breathed a sigh of relief, wiped his wet and sticky palms, and really broke into a cold sweat for Chen Jingpei.

But he dared not go to see Chen Jingpei blatantly.

It wasn't until Liang Yue asked her to sit at the elders' table to eat together that she was able to sit beside Chen Jingpei and eat crabs openly.

Chen Huaiting might never have imagined that the woman his son wanted to have sex with was sitting directly opposite him without any scruples.

"Apei, help Auntie peel a few more crabs for Zhizhi to eat." Liang Yue said without any scruples.

Chen Jingpei was worrying that he didn't have a suitable reason to feed Xuan Zhi. It happened that Liang Yueshen assisted him, so he didn't need to restrain himself. Her bowl, "Eat more."

"Oh... okay, thank you." Xuan Zhi's ears were red, and he buried his head obediently, eating, eating, eating...

While eating, Zhang Lianyi, who was sitting opposite, suddenly said to Chen Huaiting: "Huaiting, do you think that Zhizhi's eyebrows and eyes are quite similar to Beibei?"

Holding the wine glass, Chen Huaiting paused, glanced at Xuan Zhi, but didn't see any similarities, so he said, "Don't talk nonsense, they don't look alike at all."

"But I think..." Zhang Lianyi stopped talking, and then took a closer look. Whether it was the elegant and quiet inadvertent raised eyebrows, or the obedient contentment of the beautiful little mouth slightly curled up, there was nothing alike in it. Extremely……

No, it's not so much like Beibei, it's more like another little shadow...! ! !
The fleeting thought shook his heart, and Zhang Lianyi couldn't help but ask, "Yuzhi, how old are you this year? Is your family from Feicheng?"
