Chapter 129: Seeing Parents, Seeing Relatives
This dinner lasted for more than half an hour.
Under Xu Xuejing's close gaze, Chen Jianhua reluctantly drank half a glass of white wine and then ate a large bowl of rice.
After Chen Wen finished eating, he excused himself to play with his little niece and hurriedly escaped from the dinner table to prevent his father from nagging him again after finishing the meal.
Just as he was leading his little niece and letting her wander on the ground to practice walking, Chen Wen's phone vibrated.
After picking up his little niece and sitting on the sofa, Chen Wen took out his mobile phone, opened WeChat, and saw the message from Jiang Qiuyi.
My dear little girlfriend: I’m here~ I’ll be there in ten minutes.
Chen Wen: Say you are almost there and I will come out to pick you up.
My dear little girlfriend: Okay~
Just when Chen Wen was replying to Jiang Qiuyi, his little niece sitting in his arms was also staring at the screen of his mobile phone. She suddenly pointed at a few words in the upper left corner of the screen and laughed happily:
"Kiss...kiss~"
"Ahem..." Chen Wen put away his phone in embarrassment. He didn't expect that his little niece, who was just over one year old, could already read.
Some time ago, he was thinking about changing his nickname.
But now, he has gradually gotten used to it and is too lazy to change it.
At the dinner table, the three men continued to chat after eating. The three women chatted with them for a while, and then were greeted by Xu Xuejing to the sofa.
Ding Zeyu was also brought over and curiously poked his little cousin's pink face.
Chen Shu snatched her little niece from Chen Wen's hand and kissed her several times. She smiled at her son and said, "Look at how well-behaved your cousin is. She's not as naughty as you."
Ding Zeyu stood aside and curled his lips, thinking that if you give me your phone, I will definitely be better behaved than anyone else.
At this time, Chen Wen received Jiang Qiuyi's message on WeChat, and immediately got up from the sofa and walked outside the villa.
"What are you going to do? Are you going out today?" Xu Xuejing asked in confusion.
"Go pick someone up and be right back."
Watching Chen Wen walk out the door, his sister-in-law asked curiously: "Who is he picking up?"
"No one." Chen Shu rolled her eyes, "He went to pick up his little girlfriend. He doesn't have many other friends."
Xu Xuejing covered her mouth and laughed: "It just so happens that you guys also meet me. I like this child Qiuqiu very much."
The women in the room immediately chatted about interesting stories about Chen Wen and Jiang Qiuyi, mainly to educate Chen Gong's wife.
Outside the villa, Chen Wen walked through the small garden in the front courtyard and walked all the way to the iron gate.
As soon as he walked out of the gate, he saw Jiang Qiuyi walking around the corner not far away.
Under the streetlight, Jiang Qiuyi wore a long-sleeved shirt with black sleeves tonight, and the familiar cropped pants underneath. The sleeves were rolled up to the elbow, revealing a fair forearm.
Because both hands were carrying something, Jiang Qiuyi only quickened his pace after seeing Chen Wen.
Chen Wen walked up to her and reached out to take something in her hand, and Jiang Qiuyi got into his arms.
Holding the girl who was like a kitten and clingier than his little niece, Chen Wen touched her long hair that had gradually grown to her waist and asked, "Why did you bring something here?"
"Isn't your dad back? He just gave me something." Jiang Qiuyi raised his head, rested his chin on Chen Wen's chest, and looked at him with bright eyes.
Chen Wen lowered his head and asked for it gently for a while, then released his arms around Jiang Qiuyi, took her hand and walked towards the villa.
While passing by the garden, Chen Wen recalled his previous experience of being fed dog food during meals. After thinking about it, he moved his hand that was holding Jiang Qiuyi's little hand and intertwined their fingers with hers.
Jiang Qiuyi glanced at him sideways, and then snickered: "You are becoming more and more proactive~"
Chen Wen said nothing and led her to the door.
When putting on his slippers, Jiang Qiuyi was suddenly startled. He saw so many pairs of unfamiliar shoes at the door, obviously they had just been changed into, and couldn't help but ask: "Is there a guest at your house?"
"No."
Indeed, they are not guests, they are all family members.
"Then why so many shoes?"
"Both my brother's and my sister's families are here."
When Chen Wen saw that she had changed into slippers, he continued to lead her into the house.
But when Jiang Qiuyi heard Chen Wen's words, he suddenly panicked, and his steps subconsciously slowed down: "Wait a minute... so... your father, mother, sister, brother-in-law, brother-in-law, and sister-in-law are all in the house?"
"yes."
"Why didn't you tell me in advance?" When Jiang Qiuyi thought of that scene, his face suddenly turned red, and he stopped where he was, not daring to walk toward the living room.
"What's wrong?" Chen Wen turned to look at her in confusion, "It's not like I've never seen him before."
"It's different..." Jiang Qiuyi was a little confused, "I wasn't even mentally prepared...such a big battle suddenly..."
"You told me earlier, I will definitely bring more things over..."
"It's so embarrassing now..."
"It's okay." Chen Wen held her hand and led her inside, "They just finished eating and they're not all sitting together, so don't be nervous."
"Say hello and we'll go upstairs."
"At most, dad will ask you a few questions, and you can just deal with it casually."
Jiang Qiu rolled her eyes at him: "How can there be anyone like you?"
However, by the time Chen Wen said this, she had almost completed her mental preparation. She was held by Chen Wen's hand and walked into the living room step by step.
As soon as I walked into the living room, the voices inside suddenly stopped and the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
Feeling the gazes from all around, Jiang Qiuyi tensed up, and the palms intertwined with Chen Wen began to sweat.
Chen Wen led her to the dining table first, where Chen Jianhua was chatting with Chen Wen's brother-in-law and Chen Gong about work matters.
At this time, the three people stopped and looked at the two young people walking over with a smile.
The brother-in-law has always been low-key and calm, looking at the two of them with a gentle smile and nodding.
Chen Gong sat in a much more casual posture, with one arm resting on the back of the chair next to him. He looked at the two of them with a smile. When he saw their interlocked hands, he secretly gave Chen Wen a thumbs up.
Chen Jianhua, who was sitting in the main seat, was also smiling. He had not seen the little girl from the Jiang family for several months, and now that he saw her again, he felt a little emotional.
Unexpectedly, the little girl I had met a few times during the Chinese New Year would be taken over by my own pig in the blink of an eye.
I don’t know how Jiang Limin felt when he found out.
All in all, Chen Jianhua is quite happy.
At least you don't have to worry about Chen Wen, a boy with the same virtues as his elder brother, who didn't get married until he was thirty.
"Hello Uncle Chen, hello eldest brother, and hello brother-in-law."
Jiang Qiuyi squeezed Chen Wen's hand tightly and bowed slightly to say hello to the three of them.
Then she took the bag from Chen Wen, took out a box of tea, handed it to the table in front of Chen Jianhua, and said obediently:
"Uncle Chen, this is the special tea given out by my dad in school. He specially divided half of it out. Please try it when you have time."
When Jiang Qiuyi said this, he remembered the painful expression on his father's face when he saw her pouring tea when he went out. He couldn't help lowering his head and pursed his lips and smiled.
