He is paranoid and warm

"Aunt Xiao." Sheng Shushu greeted politely, "Uncle."

Then he looked at Xiao Yu who was busy with his mailbox on the sofa, "Uncle."

Madam Xiao was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. "You are still so polite, kid! Go wash your hands and get ready for dinner."

The atmosphere at the table seemed good.

Sheng Shushu expressed his opinion in front of everyone at the dinner table.

"Aunt Xiao, I have considered getting engaged to Xiao Qingzhou."

She deliberately left out the second half of the sentence.

Mrs. Xiao was stunned for several seconds, probably because she didn't expect her to be so straightforward. She originally thought she was just coming over for a meal.

Several people from the Xiao family were obviously surprised and delighted.

But before Madam Xiao could express her joy, Xiao Qingzhou had already poured cold water on the atmosphere at the table:

"I disagree."

He even added, "I will never agree to this in my life, Mom. I don't have that kind of feeling towards her."

"Relationships are cultivated. You will never meet another girl as good as Xiaoshu in your life."

After saying that, Madam Xiao suddenly waved over there, "Changyi, bring the things I prepared for Xiaoshu."

It's a set of imperial green.

Sheng Shushu knew about this thing. The jewelry boxes were precious treasures from the imperial palace of the last century. They were priceless and had been passed down from generation to generation among the wives of the Xiao family.

Mrs. Xiao couldn't wait to finish her meal to get such a valuable item, which shows how much she cares about this matter.

It was also obvious that he was just showing his attitude to Xiao Qingzhou.

Xiao Qingzhou glanced at her and said, "Mom, don't be so exaggerated. I, the person involved, absolutely do not agree. Do you really plan to have another child and marry her?"

Madam Xiao glanced at him. His opinion was not important. No matter what, two generations of elders were still there. Couldn't they discipline him alone?

Sheng Shushu is not such a fool, so she certainly would not accept the imperial green set.

“Aunt Xiao, I can’t take this thing now.”

Wang Cixin also said lightly, "Auntie is either asking you to take it now, or asking you to help keep it for a while."

Sheng Shushu said firmly, "Wait a moment, I will talk to you about the details of the engagement, and then you can make a decision."

Wang Ci Xin heard something different in these words and thought of the topic that was interrupted last time.

In the end, he nodded, but he did not put away the imperial green suit, and he was determined to give it to her.

Every time Xiao Yu came to the Xiao residence, he was almost silent from beginning to end, saying less than three sentences in total, and his presence was very low.

Today too.

Only when Sheng Shushu said that she was willing to get engaged to Xiao Qingzhou did his expression change briefly.

It's no different from usual now.

Madam Xiao Wang Ci Xin and old man Xiao Qixiang were still worried that Xiao Yu would say something.

After watching him several times, I found that he ate slowly and left the table politely after finishing his meal.

When Sheng Shushu and Madam Xiao went to have a private conversation, Xiao Yu and Old Xiao even played a game of chess, and Xiao Qingzhou watched the game.

Occasionally he pricked up his ears to listen to what the two people who went to the backyard were talking about.

Of course not.

Sheng Shushu's voice was not loud to begin with, and her attitude was gentle, and from a distance, the two of them seemed very comfortable.

Only Madam Xiao felt heavy after hearing her first words.

"Aunt Xiao, I can get engaged to Xiao Qingzhou, but before that, I want to know if there is any hidden story behind my mother's death, and whether it has anything to do with my engagement."

Sheng Huanian was right about one thing. She was marrying up if she could get engaged to the Xiao family.

There is no reason to get ahead of me for no reason.

Wang Cixin looked at her and said, "Xiaoshu, your mother has passed away for so many years. The most important thing is that you live well."

What this means is that there is no need to pursue some things.

Sheng Shushu smiled, and she did not refute, but asked seemingly unrelatedly: "Aunt Xiao, you know that I am a love-brained person and have always lived a heartless life, right?"

Wang Cixin smiled, "How many people envy you for being like this, carefree."

"In fact, many men also prefer girls like you, who are happy every day and can give him emotional value outside of the workplace, business, and complicated wealthy circles."

It is very tiring to deal with all kinds of situations. It is a blessing to go home and have a partner who simply wants to make him happy.

A wealthy family like the Xiao family no longer needs a wife to assist the man in his career.

When Mrs. Xiao was young, she helped her husband. She was tired, and her husband was even more tired.

So, she wanted to find someone like Sheng Shushu for Xiao Qingzhou.

Sheng Shushu nodded, "And the reason I can be so carefree is all because of my mother's pampering."

She paused, then looked at Madam Xiao, "How could I not even figure out how she left?"

When Sheng Shushu was a child, she never felt that she lacked fatherly love. Her mother gave her everything.

Perhaps it was because she was loved too completely before she was ten years old, that she felt so lacking in love when she came to Sheng Huanian.

Only then will she yearn for family affection and try to please her relatives.

Wang Ci Xin was speechless for a moment, and no matter what she answered, it seemed cruel.

I could only sigh, "There are some things that I'm not really clear about, and it's really not convenient for me to explain it to you in detail."

"Inconvenient?" Sheng Shushu looked at her.

Wang Cixin frowned, "If I tell you this, will you marry Xiao Qingzhou?"

Sheng Shushu has made it very clear, "You tell me, and I agree."

Wang Ci was quiet for a few seconds, "I'll go talk to the old man."

Sheng Shushu was not surprised either.

For such a big thing as entering the Xiao family, the old man must have agreed, so she felt that her engagement was actually arranged by the old man.

The fight on the chessboard in the living room was silent but fierce.

Xiao Qingzhou was terrified by what he saw.

At the critical moment, seeing that my uncle had not moved, I looked at him.

Only then did I notice that he raised his eyes slightly and looked towards the backyard and the entrance.

Sheng Shushu and Madam Xiao came in.

Madam Xiao entered the living room and glanced at the chessboard. “Dad, shall we play again later?”

Xiao Yu put down the last chess piece, "Check."

When Xiao Qixiang raised his head, he heard the word "Xiao Yu", then lowered his head again and frowned.

The few escape routes he had left with great difficulty had actually been blocked by Xiao Yu long ago.

Xiao Qixiang stood up and said, "We'll continue next time."

Xiao Yu didn't respond, but just glanced blankly at Sheng Shushu.

Q: "She has to leave after the chat. She hasn't done today's paper and her weekend lesson plan is still empty."

Xiao Qixiang took two steps and turned back, "Let's all stay here tonight. It won't be a problem if we stay for another day."

Xiao Yu was slowly putting away the chessboard. Maybe he didn't hear anything, so he didn't say anything.

Mrs. Xiao sent the old man and Sheng Shushu upstairs, into the study, and then walked out.

When I turned around, I was shocked to find Xiao Yu at the stairs.

She smiled gracefully and said, "His uncle, shall I ask Changyi to clean up the room?"

Xiao Yu responded this time: "No need."

But Madam Xiao still gave the order to clean up two rooms, as they might want to live there for a long time.
