Deliberate and affectionate

Chapter 241 The Performance Needs an Audience

Of course Father Li was happy, he was getting a headache from being annoyed by them, and he was not easy to get angry, so he just had the opportunity to change the subject.

So I didn't even open the gift, and said directly: "I like it, why don't you like what you picked?"

Li's mother was also a little upset by what her parents said, so she could change the subject at this time, and she joined in.

Taking the gift box that Lin Xi handed over, Li's mother carefully opened it and looked at it, and then she was relieved, she was afraid that it was something precious that would be broken by herself.

I kept the thing last time carefully for a long time, until I accidentally fell to the ground and found that it was not broken. Mother Li felt that she didn't need to be so careful, the more careful she was, the more likely she would fall.

So this time, after opening it and seeing that it was a headgear, Mother Li breathed a sigh of relief, she finally didn't have to worry about accidentally breaking it.

Mother Li hadn't expressed any opinion, and was about to thank her, when the unknown cousin next to her had already spoken.

"Hey, this is not an ordinary thing. Auntie, you have liked it for a long time, and you have never had a chance to buy it." The aunt she was talking about was Li's mother.

Another person also responded: "That's right, Auntie, this one is just right for you." It's as if this thing is not Li's mother's, but her mother's.

But Mother Li didn't follow their words at all and handed the things directly to her mother.

Because it was given to me by someone else, and I haven't got it in my hand to warm it up, so how can I just give it to someone else?
Besides, the person who gave the gift was still in front of him. It would be very rude for Li Mulu to pass on the gift from others directly in front of the other party.

If it's something I bought by myself, it doesn't matter if I give it to my mother, but it's a gift from someone else, so Mother Li pretends that she didn't hear the conversation between the two of them.

Putting the things away, she said with some reproach: "Come back when you come back, what kind of gift do you buy, what are you wasting that money for?"

Seeing Mother Li close the box, the two aunts were about to reach out, but Lin Xi reached out before they did.

Lin Xi reopened the gift box, took out the headdress, put it on Li's mother's head directly, and said to Li's mother: "Mom, this thing is not worth much, you can try it first to see if it fits."

Before Li's mother could refuse, Lin helped her put it on, and praised: "It's so beautiful, it's just right for you."

Mother Li raised her hand to touch it, a little curious whether it was really so good-looking: "Really?"

"Of course, if you don't believe me, ask the person next to you."

Li's mother turned to look at Li's father, Li's father nodded in agreement, and his eyes were admiring, it was really beautiful.

Then Li's mother glanced at Li Ming again, Li Ming also nodded, and said, "Yes, it matches well."

Although he didn't know much about these things, Lin Xi said that they matched well, so that was it, and there was nothing to refute.

Lin Xi handed the last gift to Lu Wen. Lu Wen was a little flattered, but he didn't expect to have it himself.

He hurriedly got up to thank him, Lin Xi said, "You're welcome, we're all family."

"Thank you sister-in-law."

This was the first time Lin Xi had heard of this address. At home, Lin Xi either heard servants call him Miss Lin or Madam, or heard his family call him by his name directly, or people in his company called him boss.

It was the first time I heard this unfamiliar name, but it was not annoying. Lin Xi expressed that he was very satisfied, and this gift was worth it.

Li Yuan never called Lin Xi's sister-in-law. Although she was her brother's wife, Li Yuan was used to it. She used to call her "Hi" and "You" directly, but later she called her by her name.

But she didn't refute when she heard Lu Wen yelling that. This is also true. Lin Xi is indeed her brother's wife, and he and she belong to the same family, so there is nothing wrong with yelling like that.

Li Yuan didn't bother with the title, but hurriedly urged him to open the gift box to see what was inside.

Their side was happy and harmonious, while the Tang family's people seemed to suddenly become deserted.

Obviously they were the ones talking just now, and the Li family didn't take much part in their conversation, and no one bothered them at the moment.

It's just that the desired audience drew their eyes away from them. Without the audience, they lost their enthusiasm for performing and became cold all of a sudden.

Seeing the Li family enjoying themselves happily, as if they didn't exist, the two old Tang family members who sat in the middle of the seat without speaking, but looked at Li's mother several times with condemning eyes, finally couldn't help it.

They looked at each other, and then Mother Li's mother coughed heavily to attract everyone's attention.

Only then did Lin Xi shift his gaze to them. Lin Xi found that since he pulled Li Ming away, Tang Yue seemed to have been hit. Although she didn't show anything, Lin Xi kept paying attention to her.

Knowing that she is absolutely in a bad mood at the moment, her skirt has been crumpled subconsciously by her.

It's just that when the Tang family talked to her, she still had that gentle and polite appearance.

The old man of the Tang family coughed, and she was satisfied when everyone's eyes turned to her.

Seeing that Lin Xi still didn't come forward to say hello to them, she was a little dissatisfied, and directly accused Li's mother: "I don't know how you teach, you don't know any rules, and you don't know how the elders say hello?" ?”

Li's mother said awkwardly: "Mom, this is not..."

She directly interrupted Li's mother, and did not let her continue to say: "What kind of person can you teach? It's not surprising, you are becoming more and more useless, people can't teach, and things don't matter. I can do it, I really don’t know how you got here in someone else’s house.”

When Li's mother was told this, she felt very shameless. It was as if her mother was deliberately trying to save her face in front of everyone, saying that even though she was old, she was still ignorant.

Lin Xi saw that although the old man of the Tang family was talking about Mother Li, but his eyes were always on himself, he walked forward and said to her, "Sorry, I didn't know you would come today, so I didn't make any preparations."

Seeing Lin Xi talking, the old Tang family immediately became dissatisfied. She said directly: "We elders are talking, why do you, a junior, interrupt? Is it your turn to speak here?"

Lin Xi said: "I'm sorry, our Li family doesn't have this rule, and no one has ever been like this... But since you don't want me to talk, why do you keep staring at me?"

Lin Xi appeared ignorant, very confused, and looked like a child who didn't understand anything.

In fact, Lin Xi didn't want to talk, but seeing their critical eyes towards Li Ming, Lin Xi couldn't help it, why should they?
