Rebirth begins with rejecting Qingmei

Chapter 1125: You're not in love with your mother, are you?

After the door opened, Ning Wanqiu and Gu Pandi were standing outside.

Xiao Youran greeted with a smile: "Aunt Ning, Aunt Gu, you are here..."

Ning Wanqiu nodded but said nothing.

She walked straight into the house.

Gu Pandi was still immersed in the conversation just now. She didn't react at all and just walked into the house with her head down.

Xiao Youran greeted them, but one of them responded coldly and the other simply ignored her.

Xiao Youran couldn't help feeling aggrieved.

When did she offend Aunt Gu?
And Aunt Ning.

Could it be that Aunt Ning knew that she lied to her last night?

Xiao Youran was very worried, but she couldn't ask Ning Wanqiu directly.

She could only quietly comfort herself in her heart, telling herself not to scare herself, as maybe it was not what she thought.

Ning Wanqiu entered the house and went straight to the kitchen.

Under normal circumstances, Gu Pandi might also go to the kitchen to help.

Because she was worried today, she walked to the sofa and sat down unconsciously.

When Xu Xiuwen saw Gu Pandi's expression, he had a bad feeling.

Because Xiao Youran and Jiang Ruoyu were right next to him, he couldn't ask directly and could only pretend not to know.

After closing the door, Xiao Youran returned and sat down next to Xu Xiuwen.

She took Xu Xiuwen's arm and leaned towards him.

Gu Pandi caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of her eye, but her expression did not change much.

Xiao Youran raised his head and whispered: "Xiao Xu~"

"what happened?"

Xu Xiuwen keenly noticed Qingmei's emotional changes.

Xiao Youran pouted and lowered her voice, "I just greeted Aunt Gu, but she ignored me. Did I make her unhappy in some way?"

Xu Xiuwen was stunned and subconsciously glanced at Gu Pandi who was sitting on the other side.

"Probably not."

"Then why..."

"Maybe Aunt Gu is in a bad mood because of something else?"

"Really?"

"Believe me."

Apart from emotionally, Xiao Youran has an almost blind trust in Xu Xiuwen.

"I believe you."

Xu Xiuwen reached out and touched the girl's hair to express his praise.

Xiao Youran also enjoyed his intimate behavior.

After Xu Xiuwen's "guidance", Xiao Youran came to his senses.

She turned to look at Gu Pandi across from her and said, "Aunt Gu, let me go get you a cup of tea."

Gu Pandi was stunned for a moment, then shook her head: "No need."

There was a pause.

"I'm going to the bathroom."

After she finished speaking, she stood up and walked towards the bathroom.

After Gu Pandi left.

Xiao Youran asked Jiang Ruoyu again: "Sister Xiaoyu, do you want some tea?"

Jiang Ruoyu also shook her head: "No, Sister Youran, I'm not thirsty. I'll go see my mother."

As a daughter, she naturally could not fail to notice her mother's emotions.

She was a little worried, so she decided to follow and ask.

In the blink of an eye.

Only Xu Xiuwen and Xiao Youran were left in the living room.

Xiao Youran expressed another worry in his mind.

"Xiao Xu, Aunt Ning's attitude was so cold just now. Will she know that I lied to her?"

Xu Xiuwen thought: Why should I know? My mother never believed it.

He didn't say this to Xiao Youran, but comforted her softly, "My mother is not angry with you, she is angry with me. Don't think too much, relax."

"Is that so?"

"Don't you believe your husband's words?"

Xiao Youran was stunned, and then her cheeks turned red.

She said angrily, "This is my home, don't shout, what if someone hears you?"

Xu Xiuwen smiled and said, "If you heard it, then so be it. At worst, I can propose to you right there and then and ask Aunt Zhang to marry you to me."

Xiao Youran's heart beat faster when he heard this.

She was actually a little moved.

After calming down, Xiao Youran noticed the smile in Xu Xiuwen's eyes and reacted instantly.

Xu Xiuwen was teasing her again.

Xiao Youran immediately put on a look of disdain and said angrily, "Don't mess around, I won't marry you."

"Okay, then when you want to get married, I'll discuss it with Aunt Zhang."

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."

soon.

Zhang Ruosu cooked the last dish.

She brought the dishes to the table and said to everyone, "Okay, come and eat."

Everyone headed towards the dining table.

The final seating arrangement was that at 10 o'clock was Ning Wanqiu's seat, and in clockwise order, they were Zhang Ruosu, Gu Pandi, Jiang Ruoyu, Xiao Youran and Xu Xiuwen.

Xu Xiuwen and Gu Pandi were right opposite each other.

After everyone sat down, Zhang Ruoshu suddenly suggested: "Everyone is here today, how about drinking some red wine. A friend just gave me a bottle of red wine, I'll open it and let everyone taste it."

Gu Pandi and her daughter didn't say anything.

Xu Xiuwen and Xiao Youran didn't say anything either.

Zhang Ruoshu was already ready to get up and get the red wine.

Ning Wanqiu suddenly spoke up: "Sister Zhang, don't drink at noon! Besides, there are children here."

Zhang Ruoshu didn't listen to her directly.

She glanced at the others, asking what they thought.

Xu Xiuwen didn't dare to disobey Ning Wanqiu at this time, so he agreed: "Yes, Aunt Zhang, I also don't think it's necessary to open a bottle of red wine, just drink some drinks."

Zhang Ruoshu's eyes skipped over Xiao Youran and Jiang Ruoyu, looked at Gu Pandi, and asked, "Pandi, do we want to drink something?"

Gu Pandi shook her head and said, "Forget it."

Seeing that no one wanted to drink, Zhang Ruoshu had to give up drinking.

She felt confused and a little depressed, so her beautiful eyebrows were frowned.

After seeing this scene, Xu Xiuwen changed his mind again.

"Aunt Zhang, let me drink with you."

Zhang Ruoshu's eyes suddenly lit up.

She was afraid that Ning Wanqiu would not let her, so she said impatiently, "I'll go get the wine."

Ning Wanqiu was surprised and couldn't help but glare at Xu Xiuwen.

Seeing that Zhang Ruoshu had already stood up to get the wine, he swallowed his words.

Zhang Ruoshu brought the red wine and the corkscrew, and then went on to get the glass for the red wine.

When I came back with the glass, I saw that Xu Xiuwen had already opened the red wine.

She suddenly made a request.

"Xiao Xu, don't sit over there. Come sit next to me."

Zhang Ruoshu and Ning Wanqiu were sitting next to each other, with no room in between.

But there was still an empty seat between her and Gu Pandi.

Xu Xiuwen did not agree or refuse immediately.

He glanced at Ning Wanqiu first.

Ning Wanqiu was also caught off guard by Zhang Ruoshu's words.

Feeling Xu Xiuwen's gaze, she gave him a warning look.

It seems she is not allowed.

Xu Xiuwen also understood the reason.

Naturally, I didn't want to see him sitting with Gu Pandi.

Thinking of Aunt Gu, Xu Xiuwen couldn't help but look over.

Although Gu Pandi didn't seem to be paying attention, she couldn't help but secretly peek. When their eyes met, Xu Xiuwen saw a hint of expectation in her eyes.

Xu Xiuwen finally looked at Xiao Youran beside him.

Qingmei's eyes also showed reluctance.

But she was powerless and could not get a word in.

She could only hope that Xu Xiuwen would refuse himself.

But he thought about it for a second and nodded, "Okay."

He stood up from his chair and walked between Aunt Zhang and Aunt Gu.

When Ning Wanqiu saw this scene, her breathing quickened.

Xiao Youran also pouted in frustration.

As Xu Xiuwen sat down, everyone started to eat lunch.

Zhang Ruoshu was just about to pour herself a drink.

Xu Xiuwen took the lead and poured red wine into both of their glasses.

Zhang Ruoshu immediately cast an admiring look at him.

Although Xu Xiuwen, this little bastard, is a bit unbridled at times, he has good vision.

Xu Xiuwen had no idea what Zhang Ruosu was thinking.

He picked up the wine glass and said to Zhang Ruoshu: "Aunt Zhang, you have worked so hard to prepare such a sumptuous lunch. I toast you with the first glass of wine. I wish you to be forever young, beautiful and charming."

Xu Xiuwen's blessing made Zhang Ruoshu so happy that she couldn't close her legs, no, she couldn't close her mouth.

She smiled happily with her lips pursed.

"Just because of what you said, I have to finish it."

Xu Xiuwen poured almost a quarter of the red wine into the glass.

After Zhang Ruoshu finished speaking, she picked up the wine glass in front of her and drank it all.

After finishing the red wine in the glass, Zhang Ruosu licked the wine off her lips with her tongue, still unsatisfied.

This scene was particularly tempting in Xu Xiuwen's eyes.

He didn't dare to think too much and drank the red wine in the glass.

After drinking, Xu Xiuwen picked up the bottle and poured wine for himself and Aunt Zhang again.

Suddenly I felt a strong murderous aura.

Xu Xiuwen locked onto Ning Wanqiu accurately.

There was a cold look in the latter's eyes.

Xu Xiuwen's heart trembled, and the speed of pouring the wine slowed down.

Finally he poured a small amount of wine into the glass.

Zhang Ruoshu couldn't help but say, "Xiao Xu, why did you only pour this little wine? Pour some more."

Xu Xiuwen laughed dryly, "Aunt Zhang, drinking too quickly is not good for your health. Let's drink slowly and savor it more."

After hearing this, Aunt Zhang said no more.

Xu Xiuwen felt that the coldness in Ning Wanqiu's eyes had eased a little, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought for a moment, then suddenly raised his glass and said to Ning Wanqiu, "Mom, this second glass is for you. Thank you for your care and dedication for so long. I will always remember it in my heart."

After hearing Xu Xiuwen's words, everyone put down their chopsticks and looked over.

Ning Wanqiu was also slightly stunned.

When she came back to her senses, her eyes and expression softened.

She picked up the cup of drink in front of her and said, "Just don't cause me any more trouble."

Xu Xiuwen understood the hidden meaning in her words.

He smiled and said, "Okay."

After saying that, he drank it all again.

Ning Wanqiu also drank half a cup of drink.

Xu Xiuwen toasted Zhang Ruoshu and Ning Wanqiu. Logically, he should toast Gu Pandi next.

But he didn't do that.

If he really offered wine to Gu Pandi, Ning Wanqiu would definitely think that he was smuggling ulterior motives.

Xu Xiuwen thought for a moment, poured red wine into the glasses, and said to everyone: "Let's drink this glass together. I hope everyone of us will be happy and we can continue to eat together like this in the future..."

Everyone raised their cups and drank with Xu Xiuwen.

After drinking three glasses of red wine in a row, Xu Xiuwen slowed down his drinking.

When Zhang Ruoshu asked him to drink again, Xu Xiuwen made the excuse that he was a little drunk from the red wine and said he needed to take a break.

Zhang Ruoshu was not angry when she saw this. Instead, she asked with concern, "Do you need to go to your room to rest for a while?"

Xu Xiuwen said, "No need, Aunt Zhang, I drank too fast, I'll be fine after a while."

Zhang Ruoshu did not insist either.

Halfway through lunch.

During this period, Xu Xiuwen drank a few glasses with Zhang Ruoshu.

Zhang Ruoshu drank more, her cheeks turned red, and her eyes began to become dizzy.

She had noticed long ago that Ning Wanqiu seemed to be worried about something today and was not very happy.

Under the influence of alcohol, he asked, "Wanqiu, what happened to you today?"

Ning Wanqiu said: "I'm fine."

"Don't hide it from me. Can't I tell whether you are okay or not?"

Ning Wanqiu was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly said: "I did encounter something recently."

Zhang Ruoshu said, "I knew it. Wanqiu, please tell me quickly. Maybe I can give you some advice."

Ning Wanqiu glanced at Xu Xiuwen and Gu Pandi after hearing this and said, "There is a man pursuing me recently."

Xu Xiuwen: "???"

Is there a man pursuing Ning Wanqiu?

Ning Wanqiu stopped talking at this point.

Xu Xiuwen couldn't help but ask, "Mom, you won't agree to his pursuit, right?"

His tone seemed rather urgent, giving people a very excited feeling.

Zhang Ruoshu asked directly, "There's a man pursuing Wanqiu, why are you so excited? Are you not in love with your mother?"

"Aunt Zhang, please stop talking nonsense. How could I be in love with my mother? Besides, I'm not excited at all."

Zhang Ruoshu said: "Let them tell you whether you are excited or not."

Xu Xiuwen said: "Then isn't it normal for me to be excited when my mother is being harassed?"

Zhang Ruoshu corrected his wording, "It's pursuit, not harassment."

"Isn't that different?" Xu Xiuwen muttered softly.

He realized that Zhang Ruoshu was a little drunk, so he didn't continue arguing with her.

Zhang Ruoshu was quite satisfied with Xu Xiuwen's "surrender".

She turned around and continued to ask Ning Wanqiu: "How old is that person?"

Ning Wanqiu said: "That person is younger than me."

Zhang Ruoshu asked excitedly: "Younger than you? How many years younger? What does the other person do?"

Ning Wanqiu said: "I don't know what he does, but he is more than ten years younger than me."

Xiao Youran and Jiang Ruoyu both listened very carefully.

Xu Xiuwen sensed something was wrong.

Gu Pandi also reacted in the same way.

Xu Xiuwen subconsciously looked towards Gu Pandi.

The latter just happened to look over.

The two looked at each other and instantly understood each other's thoughts.

Zhang Ruoshu asked, "A dozen years younger than you? Not bad, Wanqiu, you're still as charming as ever."

Ning Wanqiu forced a smile.

She looked at Xu Xiuwen and noticed that he was looking at Gu Pandi.

Gu Pandi was also looking at him.

Ning Wanqiu's breathing stopped for a second.

Ning Wanqiu suppressed her anger and said, "Sister Zhang, please stop laughing at me."

Zhang Ruoshu said: "Who is laughing at you... By the way, how long has he been pursuing you? Have you agreed?"

Ning Wanqiu raised her voice and said, "This is exactly what I am struggling with. He is more than ten years younger than me. I dare not agree to it, and I dare not even let anyone know. I am afraid that others will stab me in the back."

After hearing this, Zhang Ruoshu nodded in agreement, "Being so much younger is indeed a problem."

She suddenly looked at Xu Xiuwen and asked, "Xiao Xu, if Wanqiu finds you a stepfather, do you agree or object?"

Ning Wanqiu looked over immediately, her eyes filled with inexplicable meaning.

If Xu Xiuwen still doesn't understand what Ning Wanqiu means, then he is a fool.

But he was in a difficult situation.

If he had followed his original intention, Xu Xiuwen would have objected even if a man of the same age as Ning Wanqiu pursued her, let alone a man who was a dozen years younger than her.
