A car accident, our family of three crossed

Although Ruan Zhen never cared about other people's comments on her appearance, who would not be happy when people said she was good-looking or beautiful?

When she heard Yangyang say that her and Xie Yuxi's child would be better looking, she seemed to be filled with pink bubbles.

Song Ning felt as if he had passively eaten a mouthful of dog food.

While we were still chatting happily, someone came over.

"Miss Ruan, Madam Hang, lunch is ready. The master has sent a servant to invite you two to come and have dinner."

The two men then noticed that it was already time for lunch. They stopped chatting, stood up and followed the visitor to eat.

The lunch table was lively with the presence of the chatterbox Ruan Zhen.

Her focus was all on Xie Yuxi, and she talked about Xie Yuxi the whole time.

"Xie Yuxi, where did you hire this chef from? The dishes are really delicious. You should try them too."

Without any hesitation, she added the dish that she had tasted and found delicious to Xie Yuxi's bowl.

"This dish is also good, it's delicious, you should try it too."

"Hmm! This soup is also very good, Xie Yuxi, I'll pour you a bowl! Let it cool before drinking, be careful of the heat."

Hang Shuheng and Song Ning just looked at them, one of them patiently adding dishes and soup to the other's meal, while the other seemed a little helpless but happy to do it.

Usually they are the ones who show off their love in front of others, but now it is the other way around, and it is their turn to eat other people's love.

Song Ning supported her chin and watched with great interest. Such a good-looking person, even having a love relationship is a pleasure to watch!

Xie Yuxi ate the food and drank the soup in the bowl slowly and leisurely, without a trace of disgust.

When she raised her eyes, she met the teasing gazes of Hang Shuheng and his wife. She felt almost not embarrassed at all and was calm and composed.

The couple looked at each other. Was this still the Xie Yuxi they knew? After not seeing him for several months, it seemed that nothing had changed, yet it seemed that everything had changed.

Ruan Zhen had been paying attention to Xie Yuxi, following his gaze, and only then did he realize that he had neglected others.

She quickly greeted them, "Sister Song, Mr. Hang, you should try it too. This chef's cooking skills are really good."

"Okay, Sister Ruan, we will take care of ourselves, you don't have to worry."

After Song Ning finished speaking, she symbolically picked up a piece of food for her man and child.

"Come, eat quickly, let's try the cooking skills of Master Xie's chef."

Xie Yuxi knew that Song Ning was teasing him, so he smiled slightly and said, "Of course, I can't compare to Master Song's craftsmanship."

"Hey! Thank you for your compliment, sir."

"Master Song is being modest."

The lunch was eaten in a lively atmosphere with Ruan Zhen's jokes and Xie Yuxi and Hang Shuheng praising each other.

Xie Yuxi had some business matters to discuss with Song Ning in detail, so after lunch, the family of three did not rush to leave.

Speaking of business, Song Ning also has some ideas of his own. It's time for the perfume and fragrance they collaborated on to be launched in Beijing.

Ever since she sent those products to the ladies of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, they have urged her more than once to open a shop in the capital.

The second wife was the richest and most generous. She waved her hand and generously placed a land deed in front of her, wanting to give it to her so that she could start her business quickly.

She had to spend a lot of time and effort to persuade the second wife to take back the land deed.

After all, this is a business in cooperation with others, so she naturally would not go it alone without saying anything.

Besides, he has limited capable people under his command. It is not difficult to open a shop in a big capital like Beijing, but the difficulty lies in not having a strong backing. He is afraid that he will not be able to control people in the future.

If nothing unexpected happens, Xie Yuxi should stay in the capital after the Spring Examination. With him around, she will have nothing to worry about.

"If you don't have a suitable shop, I have one here."

Before Song Ning went out today, he deliberately brought with him the deed to the shop in Cheng'en Marquis Mansion that he had bought before.

Given the conflict between her and the Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion, if she were to run the shop on her own, no matter what business she did, she would probably be in trouble with the Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion in the future.

Xie Yuxi is different. The status of the Xie family in the capital cannot be shaken by the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion. Even if he is unwilling, he can only accept it.

Xie Yu took the deed and looked at it. The location was okay. "I'm afraid this shop is not cheap, right?"

"Fortunately."

Song Ning laughed. She did not hide the true situation of the shop and explained to Xie Yuxi the conflict between herself and the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion.

He also told everyone about the jokes that the Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion had caused in the capital recently, and the reasons and consequences of why he bought the shop. He did not hide a single thing.

"If you can use this shop, you can take it. If not, it's fine to leave it idle for the time being."

Since there was a ready-made shop, Xie Yuxi naturally had no reason to refuse. This saved him the trouble of setting up another shop.

"The Marquis Cheng'en Mansion is nothing to be afraid of." He accepted the deed calmly. "It's not a bad thing that Zhou Ting and the others can take this opportunity to leave the Marquis Cheng'en Mansion. However, I'm afraid their reputation will be affected in the future."

Who said no!

This incident is a double-edged sword. Even if you are clearly the victim, you still cannot escape being used as a topic of criticism.

Fortunately, Zhou Ru is not the kind of girl who would kill herself over some gossip, and she is open-minded.

In the afternoon, the family of three left Xie Yuxi's teahouse under Ruan Zhen's reluctant gaze.

"Sister Song, which street do you live on? I'll come to your house tomorrow to bother you."

"Xiuying Street in the west of the city, you are welcome to come and visit us often."

Song Ning smiled and left her an address, then turned around and got on the carriage and left.

Ruan Zhen hasn't been back to Beijing for many years and has almost no friends in the capital. It's rare to meet someone he can talk to, and they have to part so soon.

She watched the carriage go away, and only looked away when it was out of her sight.

"Xie Yuxi, let's go visit the Hang family tomorrow!"

Xie Yuxi did not agree to her, but said calmly: "You should go back to the Ruan Mansion. I will send someone to take you back later."

They returned to Beijing from Yuanzhou Prefecture together. It had been two days since they returned to the capital, and Ruan Zhen had stayed in the teahouse for two days, with no intention of returning to the Ruan Mansion.

When she heard Xie Yuxi say that he would send her back, she immediately pouted.

"Why should I rush back? My parents haven't even arrived in Beijing yet! Do you have the heart to send me into a wolf's den to fight alone?"

The Ruan family is now headed by her second uncle. Although her grandmother is still alive, she is not her biological grandmother. She is the mistress of the family who was promoted from a concubine after her grandmother passed away.

The old lady has been brooding over the fact that she was inferior to the wife for decades.
