C40 A tricky mother-in-law
This was the first time Xia Lei saw Ning Yuanhai and Zhang Hui Lan. Ning Yuanhai looked very similar to Ning Yuanshan, who was also in his fifties. Zhang Hui Lan still looked relatively young. She looked to be at most in her forties, and didn’t look old in the slightest. She was very similar to Serenity. Even though she was a bit older, she was definitely a beauty of an older age. She was the type with a face, a face, a body, and a temperament.
“I didn’t expect Sister Ning’s mother to be so young. When she reached her mother’s age, she should look like this as well, right?” A strange thought emerged in Xia Lei’s heart.
“Dad, mom, second uncle, Xia Lei is here.” Quiet said.
In fact, there was no need for a calm introduction. From the moment Xia Lei entered the private room, the gazes of Ning Yuanhai and Zhang Hui Lan had landed on Xia Lei’s body. They looked from head to toe, then from the bottom of their feet to the top of his head. Just by the small detail of how Jing Jing was holding Xia Lei’s hand, they could already guess Xia Lei’s identity.
The peaceful parents stared at them as if they were interrogating a convict. Xia Lei suddenly became nervous and stood in a daze, not knowing what to do next.
She nudged Xia Lei’s waist with her elbow and urged him in a small voice: “What are you waiting for, hurry up.”
Only now did Xia Lei regain his senses, and he immediately walked over. “Hello uncles, Auntie, Uncle Liu, hello. Sorry for being late, I’ve made you all wait.”
Ning Yuanhai said, “Young man, the concept of time is very important.”
Zhang Hui Lan also said, “Yeah, you were late the first time we met.”
Xia Lei wanted to explain, but he was unable to. He had expected that this matter would not be easily resolved and would be very difficult. However, he hadn’t expected that it would be so difficult. From the very beginning, his tranquil parents had already set a barrier for him.
Quiet And Steadfast chimed in, “Thunder was busy buying presents for you, that’s why he was late. Stop talking.”
Xia Lei then handed the gift over, “Uncle, Auntie, it’s a small gesture, please accept it.”
Ning Yuanhai took the gift and glanced at it, but Zhang Hui Lan didn’t even look at it before putting it down on the table. The two of them seemed to have discussed this long ago, not giving Xia Lei a good look. They wanted to use this method to test Xia Lei’s temper.
Xia Lei sighed in his heart, “Hurry up and start eating, and then, leave this place. In the future, even if Sister Ning were to put a knife to my neck, I would not act with her like this anymore. ”
At this time, Ning Yuanshan walked towards the door of the private room, and said while walking: “You two continue chatting, I’m going to urge the kitchen to serve dishes. “Seriously, he’s still not serving the dishes even at this time? His speed is way too slow.”
Xia Lei looked at the entrance of the private room and thought, “Will a five-star hotel have such a problem? Don’t lie to me, didn’t you guys tell the kitchen this morning to delay serving the dishes? ”
Ning Yuanhai looked at Xia Lei with a rather intimate gaze. It wasn’t hard to tell that he was quite satisfied with Xia Lei’s sunny and handsome appearance.
“Mhmm, cough.” Zhang Hui Lan inexplicably coughed, and then said: “Xia Lei, when did you and my family’s Jing Zi get to know each other?”
“Half a year ago, we met in a bookstore,” she said. I like to read books, and he loves to read books. ”
“Shut up, it’s not like I’m asking you.” Zhang Huilan stared at Serenity.
Quiet And Steadfast also shut his mouth. She looked to be very afraid of Zhang Hui Lan, and Zhang Hui Lan seemed to be the person at the helm of her family.
Xia Lei braced himself and said: “Un, yes, we met half a year ago, at a bookstore.”
“Which bookstore?”
Xia Lei thought for a moment, “Xinhua, Xinhua Bookstore.”
“It’s been half a year and you’ve been hiding it from us all this time.” Zhang Hui Lan looked a little angry: “Xia Lei, do you think that we two elders don’t exist, or do you just want to play with our family’s Jingzi? You are not acting like a responsible man. ”
Xia Lei’s scalp was already starting to tingle. He braced himself and said, “Sorry, Aunt, I definitely did not think of that. I ?”
Zhang Hui Lan interrupted Xia Lei: “How old are you?”
“Twenty-five.”
“Where are my parents?”
“My mother passed away early, and my father… No more. “Only my sister and I are left at home. My sister is going to Beijing University and will be leaving for there in a few days.” Xia Lei simply explained the situation in one go, in case Zhang Hui Lan continued to ask.
Zhang Hui Lan revealed an almost imperceptible smile at the corner of her mouth. She and Ning Yuan Hai looked at each other and exchanged a look. It wasn’t hard to tell that she was quite satisfied with Xia Lei’s age, appearance, temperament, family member status, and other conditions.
“Where’s Second Uncle? Why hasn’t he returned yet?” Why aren’t you eating yet? ” “I’m hungry,” Serenity urged.
“No rules.” Zhang Huilan stared at Serenity again.
Quiet followed and closed his mouth again.
Zhang Hui Lan’s gaze fell on Xia Lei’s body again, as if she could see through his heart: “Xia Lei, do you have a room?”
Xia Lei said a little awkwardly: “I do, my parents left them, but they’re very small, only seventy-five square meters.”
Zhang Huilan continued, “It’s indeed too small. If we were to marry Jingzi, how can we live in such a small house with you two and your sister? It would be even more crowded if you take your child with you in the future. “You have to work hard to earn money. Buying another big house would cost at least 150 square meters.”
Xia Lei, “…”
“Where’s the car?” Have you bought a car yet? ”
Xia Lei shook his head, “No.”
“That won’t do. You have to buy a car worth at least 500,000 yuan, preferably a seven-seater SUV. From now on, we can all go out and sit down.”
Xia Lei, “I don’t have the money to buy a car right now ?”
Xia Lei had not finished speaking when Serenity secretly stepped on his foot. Xia Lei then closed his mouth, feeling extremely awkward.
The small movements of the two could not escape Zhang Hui Lan’s eyes, her eyebrows instantly wrinkled: “Oh yes, Xia Lei, what is your education?”
Xia Lei replied without thinking, “High school.”
“High school?” Zhang Hui Lan’s frown deepened, “Why are you only a high school student?”
Ning Yuanhai also frowned, he was obviously dissatisfied with Xia Lei’s education as well.
Zhang Huilan’s tone and Ning Yuanhai’s gaze made Xia Lei feel a little uncomfortable, but when he thought that this was in coordination with a quiet act, he endured it and maintained the respect he should have for his elders, “Auntie, I also want to go to university, but if I want to go to university, my sister has no one to take care of me. But I don’t regret it. ”
Zhang Hui Lan and Ning Yuan Hai looked at each other, the two seemed to be hesitating. The old couple were satisfied with Xia Lei’s other conditions, but not with his education.
“Our Jingzi is a doctoral student. The two of you have a huge cultural difference. You can get along with each other now, but getting married is a lifetime’s work. Are you sure you can get used to this cultural difference?” Zhang Hui Lan no longer looked at Xia Lei as intimate as before.
Xia Lei didn’t know how to answer this question, because he had never thought of living a peaceful life.
Zhang Hui Lan continued, “And your child, from a genetic standpoint, our family’s Jingzi’s gene is the best gene, and yours…”
“Mom, what are you talking about?” Quiet And Steadfast blushed, unhappy. Xia Lei had come to help her, but did not expect her mother to make things difficult for Xia Lei.
Just as Ning Yuanshan walked in awkwardly, he laughed: “The dishes are almost served.”
Ning Yuanhai got up and dragged Ning Yuanshan to a corner of the private room to talk. Zhang Hui Lan also stood up and walked over to another corner to talk. The four Ning Family members muttered to themselves, obviously discussing about Xia Lei. Xia Lei sat there, looking very lonely. He was like a contestant on a talent show. After finishing his performance, he would wait for the judges to give him a score, give him a promotion, or even eliminate him.
A bitter smile surfaced at the corner of Xia Lei’s mouth, “This world is really realistic. Fortunately, I’m not really in love with Serenity, and being her mother’s son-in-law, I’ll be driven mad sooner or later.”
The four Ning Family clansmen were still muttering amongst themselves.
On the other side, Ning Yuanhai said to Ning Yuanshan, “Yuanshan, this won’t work. Xia Lei is just a high school student, he’s way too far away from our Jingzi. The child born in the future will not be the AA gene, but the AB gene. ”
Ning Yuanshan said: “I say brother, are you confused too? What does a degree mean? A bunch of my undergraduates, research rooms and the like, some of them are warehouse managers, some of them are writing paperwork, they can’t even compare to a hair on Xia Lei’s head. Do you know, with Xia Lei’s skills, how many people in the entire country can’t be found? ”
“Isn’t it just welding and lathe processing? So mysterious. ” Ning Yuanhai obviously did not agree with Ning Yuanshan’s point of view.
Ning Yuanshan sighed, “Ai, it’s up to you guys. If Jing Zi were my own, I would definitely raise both of my hands to support her and Xia Lei being together.”
“Actually, I’m not very opposed to it either. It’s just that Jingzi f * cking doesn’t agree, so there’s nothing I can do about it.” Ning Yuanhai said.
On the other side, Zhang Hui Lan whispered into his ear: “Daughter, how far have you guys developed?”
Her quiet face reddened slightly. “Mom, why are you asking this?”
“If Mom asks you, just say it.” Zhang Hui Lan probingly asked: “Did you go to bed?”
Quiet’s face turned even redder. “We haven’t reached that stage yet. We just held hands. Sometimes ? Also give me a kiss or something. ”
“You really didn’t go to bed?”
“Really!”
“It’s good that you don’t have one, then you can be at ease without your mother.” Zhang Hui Lan let out a sigh of relief.
Serenity stole a glance at Xia Lei, and for some reason, there was a faint sense of loss in her eyes.
Zhang Hui Lan came close to her mouth and said in her quiet ear: “Daughter, actually, Mom isn’t opposed to you freely falling in love. If this Xia Lei is very outstanding, your father and I are also willing to accept him. However, he’s just a high school student. How can a high school student be together with a doctoral student? ”
“If you don’t like it, then forget it.” Quiet said. It’s fake anyway, so it’s okay to end it this way.
“Do you remember that little boy you used to play with when you were little?”
“Who is it?”
“Your Aunt Hu’s son, Ren Wenqiang, has returned from America and earned a doctorate in business management there. As soon as he returned home, he was hired by the Wanxiang Group as the project manager for the Wind Energy Generation Project, and in the future, he would become the project manager. ”
“What does this have to do with me?”
“Of course it’s related. Wen Qiang, that child, has always liked you since you were young. As a mother, how could I not see that? Today, I met him. When he heard that you were coming, he said that he was also coming to talk to your second uncle about the wind power project. I know, he actually wants to see you. ” Saying this, Zhang Hui Lan looked at the watch in her hands, “It should be here by now, right?”
“This ? this isn’t good right?” Tranquility suddenly regretted asking Xia Lei to help her. She felt that this would cause Xia Lei to be harmed.
Zhang Huilan stared at Serenity, “What’s wrong with it? You and Wen Qiang have been friends since childhood, and you two can be considered childhood friends. If you guys fall in love with each other, then that’s a match made in heaven. In a while, you’ll treat me better, remember? ”
She never thought that things would have such a change, she wanted to leave this place with Xia Lei.
At this moment, a young man in a suit and leather shoes appeared at the door of the private room.
