Xiao Huizi and He Xiaoer

Xu Qianrou spoke first: "Mom and Dad, she is from our Xu family, her name is Xu Zhihui, I told you about her last time."

Hearing this, the Xu family members stepped forward.

Old Master Xu laughed and said, "Great! Maybe my grandfather's grandfather is from the same clan as your family. You are really pretty, little girl. You are prettier than a granddaughter like me who has a manly head."

It was obvious that Mr. Xu was talking about Xu Qianrou.

"Grandpa," Xu Qianrou glared at him in pretended anger, "How can I be a man? This is called having personality. I also have long hair, okay?"

Mr. Xu continued to laugh: "Now you look like you're going to hit someone. I'm scared, I'm scared."

Xu Qianrou grumbled, "Old naughty boy, I'm not going to pay attention to you anymore."

Xu Zhihui also laughed. As old people get older, they seem to become younger and younger, while some young people, on the contrary, become more and more tired as they grow older.

Xu Chengwen's expression changed from surprise to a smile, and he looked extremely kind. He said to Xu Zhihui: "Girl, welcome. When I first saw you, it was like seeing my own daughter. We are all family members, and we will often visit each other in the future. Hey, the two sisters Qianrou and Duomei are very nice people. You two can be friends."

"Uncle, Sister Qianrou and I are already friends. It's just that I met the Second Miss for the first time tonight."

"Girl, how old are you?" Xu Chengwen asked.

"I'm 26," Xu Zhihui said with a smile, "I just had my birthday two days ago. It's November 11th, just two days away from the second young lady's birthday."

"Four?"

Hearing this, the Xu brothers and their spouses looked at her, sized her up for a moment, and then said, "That's a real coincidence. This is fate."

Tonight is Xuan Duomei’s 25th birthday, exactly one year younger than Xu Zhihui.

"Sister Hui," Xuanyuemei called her affectionately, "You are one year older than me. From now on, I will call you Sister Hui."

"Of course," Xu Zhihui said with a smile, "Second Miss, happy birthday."

Xu Zhihui took out a palm-sized box from her pocket and handed it to her, saying, "This is our first meeting, and I don't know what birthday present to give you. This is a wooden doll I carved in my free time. I hope you like it."

"Thank you, Sister Hui. You are amazing. You can even carve."

Xuanyuemei happily accepted the gift and went forward to hug Xu Zhihui.

Mrs. Xu Qin Shujun said nothing and just kept looking at Xu Zhihui.

She looked left and right, then up and down for a while, then lowered her head, sighed, and murmured, her voice so low that outsiders could not hear, "This girl is so beautiful. If my little daughter were still alive, she would be like her now."

The Xu family and the He family are the two most powerful families in Guangcheng, so Xu Zhihui naturally compared Mrs. Xu and Mrs. He.

The two have very different temperaments.

Mrs. Xu looked a few years younger than Mrs. He. She was a classical beauty with long, curved eyebrows and an oval face as delicate as a painting. It was hard to see any signs of aging on her face.

Mrs. He is graceful and elegant, a typical wealthy lady.

For a moment, Xu Zhihui felt that Mrs. Xu was similar to her mother in several ways. They were about the same age and had similar temperaments. They were both smart and virtuous women. The key was that her mother was also beautiful.

Xu Shan would occasionally tease that Xu Zhihui was slightly inferior to her mother. Xu's mother would then say, "No, it's obviously our daughter who is prettier."

At this moment, Xu Zhihui and Qin Shujun looked at each other.

Xu Zhihui saw that Mrs. Xu looked a little strange, and wondered what she was upset about. Out of politeness, Xu Zhihui greeted her: "Mrs. Xu, are you okay?"

Qin Shujun came to her senses and realized that she had been rude. She stepped forward, took Xu Zhihui's hand, and said warmly, "Miss, I'm sorry, I lost my composure. I just thought of something. I definitely didn't mean to neglect you. I like you very much. Call me auntie, don't be so formal."

"Auntie, what you said is serious." Xu Zhihui's nervous expression relaxed, she smiled and said frankly, "I like you, too. I have a feeling that you are quite similar to my mother in some ways."

"Really?"

Hearing this, Qin Shujun's face was as bright as a peach blossom. She said, "Then I really want to meet your mother. By the way, where do you live? How many brothers and sisters do you have?"

"Oh, sorry, you don't have to answer if you don't want to." Qin Shujun felt like she was being checked on her household registration and said apologetically.

"It doesn't matter," Xu Zhihui replied, "I live at 1400 Liyuan Road, Lichengyuan, and I am their only daughter."

"Oh, it's the old district of Guangzhou. Actually, I like the old district too. It has the unique cultural heritage of Guangzhou people." Qin Shujun asked, "Are your parents authentic locals?"

"My dad is a genuine local, but my mom is not."

Qin Shujun smiled and said, "Your home must be very interesting."

"Yes."

Xu Zhihui nodded and did not deny that the Xu family's twins had always been very interesting people.

Xu Qianrou interrupted and said, "Mom, Zhihui's family opened a dessert shop. I've always wanted to try it. How about I go with you tomorrow to try it and visit her house while we're at it."

"That's great." Qin Shujun clapped her hands happily, and then asked Xu Zhihui, "Girl, you won't bother your mother, will you?"

"No," Xu Zhihui smiled, "My mother is a very hospitable person, she will definitely welcome you. However, I happen to have guests at home these days. If you don't mind, I will tell my mother in advance."

Qin Shujun smiled and said, "Then I won't bother you anymore. Let's do it another day. There's no rush."

Manyu Mei came over and said, "Auntie, please ask me to come along when the time comes."

"Okay." Qin Shujun nodded with a smile.

He Zhijing smiled. Wherever Xiao Huizi went, she was so popular. She was loved by everyone. This business trip showed that. Now, she had met the talents of the Xu family for the first time, and they were already so familiar with each other.

Qin Shujun looked at the beautiful couple in front of her and praised sincerely: "You two are really a match made in heaven."

She whispered in Xu Zhihui's ear: "At first, my uncle and I wanted to bring Qianrou and Ajing together. Even Madam He had this plan. But they don't like each other. Only you and Ajing are a real couple. I'm happy for you."

"Thank you, Auntie," Xu Zhihui smiled sweetly, "I didn't like him at first, but later I thought he was okay, so we got together."

Qin Shujun covered her mouth and laughed.

While they were chatting for a while, guests came in one after another, including some people with high status in Guangcheng.

Xu Chengwen said, "Ah Jing, Miss Hui, please sit down for a while. I'll go greet the guests and we'll talk later."

"Well, uncle, you go ahead."

Qin Shujun took them there.

"Auntie, don't bother you, we can go there by ourselves," Xu Zhihui asked, "Don't you need to welcome the guests with uncle?"

Qin Shujun said, "No need. I can chat with you for a while, and let Uncle and Qianrou take care of welcoming the guests."

We continued chatting as we walked.

Xu Qianrou walked towards the door.

He Zhijing took two steps, turned around and called Xu Qianrou, walked over and said, "I have something to tell you."

"what's up?"

"Cheng Yue just received a message," He Zhijing subconsciously looked at the door, "Li Chuan from the Nongchao Group plans to declare his love to Duomei in public. Li Chuan is not a good person and is far from being worthy of Duomei. What do you think about this?"

"I know Li Chuan. This guy has always wanted to take advantage of others. Duomei is just an ordinary classmate of his. She has already clearly rejected him once." Xu Qianrou's eyes sternly said, "This guy is deliberately making trouble. If he does this, I will throw him out, and his father Li Nongchao as well."

He Zhijing said seriously: "If the Li family really intends to cause trouble, I will definitely support you strongly. However, will he rely on anything? That's hard to say."

"Thank you," Xu Qianrou said coldly, "I don't care who he relies on. If he dares to make trouble in front of my Xu family, I will definitely not be polite."
