At this moment, a gentle and puzzled question came from inside the house: "Cassia, who's here?"

The person who spoke was Lou Jueming's mother Jiang Zhi. Her voice came from the living room, with a bit of concern.

Lou Jueming turned around, facing the house, raised his voice a little, and said with a meaningful smile: "Mom, we need an extra set of bowls and chopsticks."

The living room was originally bustling with activity, with people sitting around chatting or playing with their pets, laughter and joy rising and falling.

Hearing what Lou Jueming said, coupled with the slightly playful yet strange smile on his face, everyone instantly understood, as if they had guessed something.

In an instant, the entire living room seemed to be hit by a bomb, and people and horses were thrown to the ground in an instant.

Jiang Zhi was stunned for a moment, then reacted. A hint of surprise and panic flashed in his eyes. He hurriedly started to greet everyone: "Hurry up, clean up the living room quickly and don't make a mess."

As she spoke, she deftly tidied up the magazines and pillows scattered on the sofa.

Even Lou Chuanqiong, Lou's father, who was originally sitting leisurely on the sofa, was hurriedly rushed down by her: "Don't just stand there, quickly clear the table. Oh, and take out the coconut cake you bought today. For tea, quickly get a new cup..."

As she walked quickly towards the kitchen, she turned back and reminded, "By the way, move a chair over to the dining table and prepare another set of dishes and chopsticks. Jiyun, why didn't you tell me in advance?"

While everyone was busy and flustered, Su Banxia had already followed Lou Jiyun into the house.

The Lou family's living room was crowded and bustling. This sudden scene made Su Banxia a little overwhelmed for a moment, and her brain seemed to freeze in an instant, leaving her with a blank.

She opened her mouth and wanted to greet everyone, but the familiar names she used to call seemed to be blown away by the wind and she couldn't remember them at all. She could only put on a slightly stiff smile on her face, with a hint of awkwardness and nervousness in her eyes.

"Mom and Dad, this is..." Lou Jiyun was about to introduce when he was interrupted anxiously by his mother Jiang Zhi.

Jiang Zhi's face was full of smiles, her eyes full of affection for Su Banxia. She waved her hand enthusiastically: "Don't just stand there, sit down quickly."

As she spoke, she looked up and down at the beautiful little girl in front of her, feeling extremely satisfied.

Su Banxia looked cute and pretty, and standing next to her son, they looked so perfect together.

She seemed a little embarrassed and looked quite reserved. Jiang Zhi knew that this was normal, after all, it was her first time visiting.

However, Su Banxia's behavior was graceful and neither humble nor arrogant, but she did look a little familiar.

When Su Banxia was a child, she came to the Lou family with her parents and brother, but that was when she was very young. This was the first time she visited the Lou family after growing up.

Her face flushed slightly, and she looked at Lou Jiyun's parents shyly. She handed over the gift in her hands with both hands and said softly, "Auntie, this is something I bought for you and uncle."

"You're too polite. Jiyun, you're such an ignorant child. Why do you need her to bring all these? Just come here..." Jiang Zhi said angrily, but her face was filled with an unconcealable smile.

She was naturally very happy that the little girl was so sensible and polite. As she spoke, she kept winking at her son, her eyes full of urging, indicating that he should quickly ask his girlfriend to sit down.

"Please sit down." In front of everyone, Lou Jiyun gently took Su Banxia's hand, his movements gentle but firm.

He led her into the living room, stopped by the sofa, and motioned for her to sit down.

But Su Banxia didn't feel comfortable sitting down. All the people in the living room were standing and staring at her, as if they were observing some rare animal.

No one was seated yet, so she didn't dare to sit down rashly. She just shook her head slightly, her eyes full of anxiety and hesitation.

"Have some tea, we'll be eating soon." Jiang Zhi walked over with a cup of tea and a smile on her face, her eyes unconsciously revealing some kindness towards her daughter-in-law.

"Auntie, I'm sorry for interrupting you so suddenly." Su Banxia lowered her head slightly, her eyes filled with apology. She could tell that Lou Jiyun hadn't informed the family beforehand, and this sudden visit made her feel a little guilty.

"It's okay. It's Jiyun's fault for not telling us in advance. I don't know if the dishes will suit your taste." Jiang Zhi smiled and waved his hand, his eyes full of kindness and warmth.

When we met for the first time, everyone was very polite.

Su Banxia felt a little relieved when she saw that Lou Jiyun's mother was so kind.

But her eyes accidentally fell on Lou Jiyun's father, and her mood, which had just relaxed, instantly became tense again, and her heart began to beat wildly.

It seems that the father and son look very similar, but compared to Lou Jiyun, his father is more cold and intimidating.

There was no expression on Lou Chuanqiong's face, revealing a cold and indifferent temperament, especially the eyes that kept staring at her, as if he could see through her heart, which was quite scary.

Jiang Zhi also noticed this scene. It was the first time his son brought his girlfriend over, and everyone was curious. But staring at them like that would really scare people.

She frowned slightly, raised her hand and gently touched her husband's arm, with a hint of anger in her eyes.

Lou Chuanqiong frowned slightly, his brows slightly furrowed, his eyes still fixed on Su Banxia, ​​and he said softly, "She looks a little familiar."

look familiar?

Such an old-fashioned pick-up line actually popped out of Lou Chuanqiong's mouth, but he was definitely not the kind of person who would talk nonsense so frivolously. He said it looked familiar, could it be...

Have you really seen it?

Just as everyone's gaze turned to Su Banxia again and began to look her up and down, Lou Jiyun spoke slowly: "Yes, a student from my school."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was stunned for a moment, with different expressions on their faces, some were surprised, some were confused, and some were a little amused.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Lou Jiyun, as if to say, "Why don't you work hard? Why are you hooking up with students?"

This, this, this... Could it be that there has been something fishy going on for a long time?

Su Banxia lowered her head slightly, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she tugged at the corner of her clothes a little embarrassedly. Under the gaze of everyone, she felt uncomfortable all over.

Su Banxia's arrival caught everyone off guard. After a flurry of activity, everyone finally sat down at the table.

Today, the youngest son brought his girlfriend over, and Jiang Zhi was naturally the happiest one. Her face was full of smiles, her eyes narrowed into crescents, and she was busy greeting them.

Only Lou Chuanqiong was still gazing at Su Banxia thoughtfully, his eyes revealing a hint of inquiry, and he was still muttering softly, "She really looks familiar."

"What do you want to drink? Coconut milk? Coke? Or soda?" Jiang Zhi sat next to Su Banxia. Once his eyes fell on Su Banxia, ​​it was as if they were glued to her and never moved away.

As she asked enthusiastically, she reached out and gently patted the back of Su Banxia's hand. The action was so intimate that it seemed as if Su Banxia was already her own daughter.

"Auntie, you don't have to greet me." Su Banxia smiled a little stiffly, with a hint of shyness in her smile.

As a result, when I turned my head slightly, I was met with another wave of attention.

This time it was from Lou Jueming, the second young master of the Lou family. He leaned back in his chair, his hands folded across his chest, a faint smile on the corners of his mouth, his eyes full of curiosity.

Seeing this, Su Banxia nodded slightly and gave a polite smile.

"Are you my student? Are you still in school? Or have you graduated? How old are you?" Lou Jueming was obviously very concerned about this future candidate for brother-in-law, and blurted out a series of questions.

Su Banxia was slightly startled, then quickly sat up straight, cleared her throat, and answered each question seriously: "I'm still in school, just started graduate school, and I'm twenty-three years old this year."

Lou Jueming took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and continued to ask with interest: "What major are you studying?"

Su Banxia sat up slightly, folded her hands in her lap, and politely replied, "I majored in literature and have always been interested in words and culture. My name is Su Banxia, ​​which means summer. Pinellia is a traditional Chinese medicine. My parents gave me this name in the hope that I would be like it—ordinary yet uniquely valuable."

Although Su Banxia tried hard to remain calm, her slightly trembling voice still revealed her inner nervousness, and she unconsciously tugged at the corner of her clothes after she finished speaking.

At this time, Lou Chuanqiong, who had been listening quietly, had a strange look in his originally calm eyes. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Su Banxia carefully. A vague shadow gradually emerged in his mind.

This name seemed to have been heard somewhere, and it was related to the familiar Su family in his memory.

Lou Chuan Gu, the eldest brother of the Lou family, pushed his glasses up on his nose. His eyes behind the lenses were gentle and concerned. "So, what are your plans for the future? Are you going to continue your studies or are you looking for a job?"

Su Banxia thought for a moment and said seriously, "I hope to delve deeper into the field of literature. Perhaps I will engage in related research work in the future and turn my love for literature into practical results."

Jiang Zhi nodded non-stop, her face full of admiration: "This girl has ideas and ambitions, that's great."

She turned to look at Lou Jiyun, her eyes full of relief, as if saying, "You've found a good partner."

Lou Chuanqiong's fingers tapped lightly on the table, the rhythm gradually increasing. His brows furrowed tighter and tighter, his suspicion growing stronger. He asked, "From your accent, do you sound like a local?"

Su Banxia nodded slightly, but her heartbeat involuntarily quickened. Facing Lou Chuanqiong's gaze, she always felt an invisible pressure: "Yes, uncle, my family is here."

Lou Chuanqiong frowned even tighter, stroking his chin and muttering to himself: "Local..."

A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and then he looked up suddenly as if he suddenly remembered something: "Who is your father?"

Su Banxia took a deep breath and replied, "My father is Su Liuxing."

As soon as these words came out, Lou Chuanqiong's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly realized that it was the girl from the Su family. No wonder he felt familiar with her since he saw her. Now all his doubts were solved.

The entire table fell silent in an instant, and everyone was stunned, with shock written all over their faces.

Jiang Zhi's chopsticks stopped in mid-air, his eyes widened, his face full of disbelief: "Su Liuxing? She's actually his daughter!"

Lou Jueming's hand, which was originally holding the wine glass, also stopped, his mouth slightly opened in surprise, and then he laughed out loud: "Haha, Lou Jiyun, Lou Jiyun, you are really good!"

He laughed so hard he fell backwards, pointing his finger at Lou Jiyun, his smile tinged with a hint of teasing: "You're on good terms with Su Zeqi and Su Jingmo, and then you turn around and take their sister home. If they find out, won't they give you trouble?"

At this time, Lou Chuan Gu couldn't help but speak up. He smiled and teased, "Little brother, you kept silent and took the Su family's treasure home. If Su Liuxing knew about it, he would definitely come after you."

He smiled and shook his head slightly, his face full of teasing towards his brother: "Look at you, you usually look quite honest, but you did something really unexpected."

Sister-in-law Yan Lai covered her mouth and chuckled: "That's right, the two brothers of the Su family must be heartbroken now."

Her eyes sparkled with a smile, and when she looked at Su Banxia, ​​she looked even more friendly, as if she had already regarded her as her own sister: "But, our Jiyun has really good taste. Miss Su is both beautiful and sensible."

Second sister-in-law Nan Ye also agreed with a smile: "It will be different when we meet again from now on."

She reached out and gently patted Su Banxia's shoulder, her eyes full of friendliness: "We are a family from now on, so please don't hesitate to ask for anything."

"You kidnapped the precious sister of the Su brothers. Didn't they cause you any trouble?" Lou Jueming looked at his brother and asked.

Lou Jiyun glanced at his gloating second brother, looked at everyone and said, "Actually, I've already met the Su family."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes focused on him again, their eyes full of curiosity.

Lou Jiyun continued, "When Sister Banxia gave birth, I went to the hospital with her, and everyone later knew about our relationship. Uncle Su and Aunt Su were very kind. Although they were a little surprised at first, they didn't make things difficult for me. Although Zeqi and Jingmo said they wanted to observe me carefully, I could see that they also sincerely wanted Banxia to be happy, so they didn't make things difficult for me."

He turned to look at Su Banxia and gently held Su Banxia's hand.

Su Banxia couldn't help laughing, and the originally tense atmosphere instantly dissipated in the laughter of everyone.

She looked at the Lou family and gradually felt relaxed. She knew that from this moment on, she had officially become part of this warm and interesting family.

Although Lou Chuanqiong didn't laugh as loudly as the others, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile: "So it's the girl from the Su family. No wonder she looks familiar. I saw her when I was a child."

There was a touch of kindness in his eyes, and his gaze towards Su Banxia softened. "Su Liuxing is a good man. He always praises his daughter. I never thought I would be kidnapped by this kid from my family. Jiyun, you have to treat her well, understand?"

"Do you even need to say this?"

"You kid..."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Amidst laughter and joy, everyone continued to eat, and the topic gradually shifted from Su Banxia's identity to interesting things in life.

Su Banxia also completely relaxed and chatted happily with the Lou family, feeling this rare warmth and harmony. This meal was not only a simple gathering, but also a wonderful beginning for Su Banxia to integrate into the Lou family.
