Xiao Huizi and He Xiaoer

Chapter 23: Ordinary Relationship

Xu Zhihui thought, I don’t think I should compete with her.

At this time, everyone in the room turned their attention to Xu Zhihui. When they entered the room, Xu Zhihui and Mei Wanxia followed behind, and the little guy Sun Bingqian kept holding her hand.

The three most beautiful women in the room were gathered together, making it hard not to look at them. Sun Xiaofei winked at He Zhijing. He Zhijing got rid of Dong Shiwan's entanglement and walked to Xu Zhihui.

"Ahem, this is Miss Xu Zhihui." He Zhijing introduced, "I...my friend."

The whole family didn't know about He Zhijing's blind date. Sun Xiaofei didn't tell anyone except her eldest brother He Zhizun and Lan Ying.

When He Zhijing took the initiative to introduce this female friend, everyone in the family was surprised. It was hard to imagine that the second brother of the He family was insulated from women. No one had ever seen or heard of this female friend of his.

Xu Zhihui stepped forward generously and took the initiative to introduce herself, greeting everyone politely, "Grandpa, grandma, uncle, aunt, brothers and sisters, hello, I am Xu Zhihui."

"Okay, hello..." Everyone responded with a smile.

Everyone looked at Xu Zhihui again. On the one hand, they were amazed at how beautiful this girl was, with her graceful figure and elegant manner. On the other hand, although she had a good temperament, her outfit of jeans, a T-shirt and a thin windbreaker was very ordinary, and she didn't look like a rich girl from an upper-class society.

"Miss Xu?" Aunt He Li asked, "Is this the Xu family from the Progress Group?"

Although He Li was asking her nephew, her eyes were on Xu Zhihui. If she was the daughter of Xu's family from the Progressive Group, then it would be perfect for her, and she would be very supportive. There would be no need to help the eldest daughter of the Dong family to pursue He Zhijing in the future.

He Zhijing replied: “No.”

Dong Shiwan stood aside, feeling very uncomfortable, with a stiff smile on her face. Having known He Zhijing for so many years, he has never introduced any girl as a friend. He would only say this is so-and-so, and would never say this is my friend.

Now, this woman who came out of nowhere actually wanted to compete with her for He Zhijing. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth. Although this woman was very beautiful, her family background was not good. Besides, she was not bad looking either. She and He Zhijing were a good match.

No, she couldn't let this happen.

Dong Shiwan couldn't help but stand up and ask, "Miss Xu is Zhijing's friend?"

"Yes, that's right." Xu Zhihui nodded in acknowledgement.

"Why haven't I seen you before? When did you meet? What kind of friends are you and him?" Dong Shiwan asked a little annoyed.

Everyone smelled some gunpowder. The whole family knew that Dong Shiwan was pursuing the second brother of the He family, and everyone was used to it. However, her question was also what everyone wanted to know, so they all looked at Xu Zhihui.

He Zhijing also wanted to hear Xu Zhihui's answer. She admitted without hesitation that they were friends, which made He Zhijing feel comfortable.

"I've never seen you before, so what's so strange about that?" Xu Zhihui said leisurely, smiled, and spread her hands. "I just met him a while ago, and our relationship is just ordinary. I came here to see my aunt. But, Miss Dong, the longer you know each other, the better your relationship will be. That's not necessarily the case."

Ordinary? Our blind date is still ordinary?

He Zhijing's face darkened when he heard this. He was very upset about the definition of "ordinary". Xu Zhihui saw He Zhijing's dark face and ignored him, talking to herself.

She thinks their current relationship is just ordinary. Is that wrong?

Most of the people in the room were laughing. Although they heard her say that she had an ordinary relationship with the second brother of the He family, everyone was a wise person and understood. Being able to come with the second brother to visit her mother, how ordinary could this relationship be?

Sun Xiaofei smiled slightly. This girl's mouth was sweet when she was sweet, and she was also very sharp when she was scolding people. I couldn't help but like her a little more.

Dong Shiwan felt that she was implying something, and sneered, "Don't worry, Miss Xu. Zhijing and I have known each other since childhood, and we have a very good relationship. It is not something that a friend like you who has only known each other for a few days can compare to. Don't try to destroy our relationship."

"Hehe..." Xu Zhihui laughed out of anger.

"Ms. Dong, please don't use the word destruction. It's inappropriate. If something is fictitious, how can it be destroyed? There is really no comparison between you and me. He and I have an ordinary relationship, which is definitely not as good as yours. If you want to prove how good your relationship is, then I don't mind seeing it."

"You...what are you talking about? It's all fabricated." Dong Shiwan was so angry that she stamped her feet. She turned around and said, "Zhijing...tell me..."

He Zhijing said coldly: "Dong Shiwan, my relationship with you is very ordinary, even more ordinary than ordinary. What good relationship? There has never been such a thing. It is completely false."

His words stung Dong Shiwan like a knife. They were more ordinary than ordinary, and the meaning behind his words was obviously not as good as Xu Zhihui's.

"You, why are you like this..."

Dong Shiwan was originally very thick-skinned, and she had heard such words many times. Now she was choked by Xu Zhihui, a woman, and He Zhijing did not speak for her. She was very sad, with tears in her eyes.

He Zhijing said this in public, and although it was the truth, it was indeed very hurtful, and Dong Shiwan couldn't bear it no matter how thick-skinned she was.

He Li couldn't say anything to help her, as her nephew had been like this since he was a child.

Sun Xiaofei said: "Shiwan, you are thoughtful to come and see me. I am very happy. Thank you. However, love cannot be forced. I hope you can understand."

Dong Shiwan had no choice but to nod.

At this moment, Mr. He and Mrs. He stood up from their chairs, walked up to Xu Zhihui, and asked with a smile, "You are so pretty, little girl. Your name is Zhihui, right?"

Both elderly people are nearly eighty years old. Although a little thin, they are still vigorous, walk steadily, and are very talkative.

The two daughters, He Li and He Min, were still waiting carefully by the side.

"Hello, Grandpa and Grandma," Xu Zhihui replied politely, "Yes. Zhi means knowing, Hui means wisdom."

The old man continued to ask gently: "How did you two know each other?"

"We met at dinner." Xu Zhihui said with a smile.

"Oh?" The two old men looked at each other and said with a smile, "This meal is delicious. You should eat more tonight."

Mei Wanxia quietly asked Lan Ying: "Did they really recognize each other during the meal?"

Lan Ying smiled and said, "Yes, we met at a meal."

"Eat..." She proposed the word and repeated it.

"Oh." Mei Wanxia looked at her aunt Sun Xiaofei thoughtfully, and she understood a little bit. The so-called dinner was a blind date, right? She also knew that her aunt had arranged a blind date for He Zhijing recently.

He Li, who was standing next to the old man, asked, "Miss Xu, what does your family do?"

Everyone looked at Xu Zhihui.

"My family makes desserts. We have several branches and the business is pretty good. We are also quite famous in the dessert industry in Guangcheng. My mother is also the vice president of the Guangcheng Dessert Association." Xu Zhihui said with a smile.

The old lady smiled happily, took her hand and said, "It's great to open a dessert shop. No wonder you are so sweet. You must have eaten too many desserts when you were a child. I couldn't eat them even when I wanted to when I was a child."

Xu Zhihui laughed: "Yes, grandma, I ate a lot."

Dong Shiwan, who was standing by, was jealous. It turned out that her family only ran a dessert shop, a small business. Why would He Zhijing fall in love with such a woman? What was even more jealous was that she, the eldest daughter of the Dong Group, could not compete with her.

Sun Xiaofei said, "Zhihui made some cakes. Mom and Dad, you two can try some."

"Okay, okay." The old lady was very happy.

"Zhijing, take the pastries to grandparents, uncles, aunts and aunts to try." Sun Xiaofei ordered.

He Zhijing carried the cake box and walked around distributing the cakes, giving priority to the elders. As there were too many people, the younger generations had no chance to share any, so they could only cut a piece into several portions to share.

Xu Zhihui felt a little embarrassed when she found out that there were not enough points. She never expected that there would be so many people.

Everyone praised the food after eating it, and the old lady praised Xu Zhihui even more.

He Li asked again while eating: "Miss Xu, what do you do?"

"I'm idle and unemployed at home now." Xu Zhihui said carelessly.

"Oh." He Li's expression was a little subtle. "Ms. Xu is so young and she's already at home? This isn't a good idea."

"Xiao Li, what's wrong at home?" The old lady looked at her with dissatisfaction. He Min also felt that her sister was meddling too much and touched her.

He Zhijing stepped forward and said, "Aunt, she is not unemployed, she is just resting at home for a while. She will come to He's Group to perform her duties later."

"Yeah." Mr. He nodded in agreement.

"???"

Xu Zhihui looked at him in surprise. Did he hear it right?
