"Just when my sister and my brother-in-law went to propose marriage for me a few days ago."

Xiang Li was not happy at all, so he listened to Zhou Nuo's question and simply said.

Zhou Nuo looked at his son with unhappiness, then looked at Xiang Nuan with a little disgusted, and finally sneered again, looking up at Li Xiaoruan: "Why did my daughter and her son-in-law come to propose marriage to their younger brother and even do such a thing?"

"Auntie didn't know. I happened to be at home at that time. When I met Mr. Huo when I met Mr. Huo, Mao Tui recommended himself. Auntie should not think that I am good-looking and think that I am useless. In fact, I was also in Ling before..."

"Ling? Did you do it with Ling Yun before?"

Zhou Nuo glanced at her and asked coldly.

Li Xiaoruan was suddenly stunned. Zhou Nuo called the president of Ling, and he actually called him his name.

Xiang Nuan and Xiang Li were also a little confused, but Xiang Pingyuan lowered his head and said nothing.

Shan Xiaobei's father asked tentatively: "My mother-in-law also knows Ling's people."

"Unfortunately, my grandfather's surname is Ling."

Zhou Nuo said something without caring, and then looked at Xiang Nuan: "Why don't you tell me about this kind of thing? No matter how much I don't like you, can you still be ridden by someone for your brother?"

Xiang Nuan...

"So too. Haven't you always protected your sister tightly? What's wrong with this time? For the sake of your marriage, even the sister who almost died for you?"

Zhou Nuo suddenly stood up.

Xiang Li was a little confused, but then stood up. Shan Xiaobei was naturally a little scared and stood with her.

"We have already chosen the wedding date. It's on the 18th of next month. If your family thinks it's OK, we will do it. If we think we are going to be more keen on the family, it's better not to get married!"

After Zhou Nuo said that, he turned around and picked up his coat and put it on his arm, raised his legs and left.

"Sorry, she has always been outspoken, I'll go and take a look."

Xiang Pingyuan saw Zhou Nuo leaving, and looked very anxious, put down his glass and left.

Shan Xiaobei's parents were a little confused. Shan's mother couldn't help laughing and asked in a low voice: "What's the matter?"

"It was agreed that our two families would come to talk about our marriage. I also want to ask, what is the matter? Come on, and I'm still dressed like this. Is this kind of occasion suitable? We don't need a drink girl here."

Xiang Li said this and turned around and left.

Li Xiaoruan also stood up, and suddenly her face turned red and white. What a drinker?

"I'm leaving too. Anyway, I'll only marry Xiang Li in my life. You like to agree or not. At worst, we can live without a name and be able to raise the child even after giving birth."

Shan Xiaobei followed Xiang Li with tears in her eyes.

Everything that happened in this meal today was beyond Xiang Nuan and Huo Che's expectations. In fact, it was probably beyond everyone's expectations, except Zhou Nuo.

Xiang Nuan was not surprised that Zhou Nuo could do such a thing. She had that kind of temperament. What she was confused about was that Zhou Nuo was for her.

Xiang Nuan himself couldn't accept the enemy who had been in his 20-year-old suddenly became like this.

"Mr. Huo, Mr. Huo, what's going on, what do you think?"

Shan Xiaobei's mother suddenly became anxious and couldn't laugh or cry, so she had to complain to her husband and wife who had not spoken.

"It's nothing big, it's just that there are too many people to get rid of the fun. I won't do this next time!"

Huo Che said briefly, leaned against the chair, habitually grabbed one of the people next to him and played with it. Xiang Nuan looked down at him. He was pinching her ring finger, which hurt like a heart-to-heart connection.

"Is it me the person who Mr. Huo said a lot? But I don't think there is anything inappropriate. If you want to say that the most inappropriate person here should be Xiang Li. He spoke so badly at a young age. He actually compared me to a drink-in-law, he..."

"He compared you to a drinkie, and he was as good as his mother, and he always spoke out loudly. This time he only called you a drinkie, and your outfit was not suitable for today's family gatherings."

Originally, she was unhappy when Li Xiaoruan dressed like this to seduce his husband. Then, she heard Li Xiaoruan say that her brother was ignorant and refused even more. She directly retorted with the airs of her elder sister.

Because Huo Che is there, Li Xiaoruan always has some concerns, so she can only grit her teeth and endure it for a moment.

"I think I'll let it go today. My wife has a bad stomach and can't eat late. I'll take her upstairs to order a portion alone. You three are free."

Huo Che said, holding Xiang Nuan's hand and stood up, looking down at Nuan, Xiang Nuan also stood up with a bag. The two of them left as soon as they said they could, leaving only Shan Xiaobei's parents and Li Xiaoruan.

Shan Xiaobei's parents looked at each other, and were speechless. Originally, their family was at the forefront, but Xiang family was obviously superior to their Shan family, but now such a fuss has become their Shan family's inferiority.

"Uncle, aunt! I..."

"So too, what occasion is this today? Family banquet, who do you dress like this for to show it? And if you don't know anything about Ling Yun, do you think others don't know?"

Such a thing happened in such a big hotel, especially Ling Yun did not leave any face for her. When they saw people, Ling Yun would just talk about what happened that night.

"By the way, husband, what does Zhou Nuo mean when her grandfather's surname is Ling?"

"If I guessed correctly, I guess her mother was Ling Rongfang, the eldest lady from the Ling family who was popular in the literary and artistic world back then."

"What? Why hasn't you ever heard someone mention such a big thing?"

Shan Xiaobei's mother was a little confused.

"Hmph! Who is Xiang Pingyuan? Will he marry any casual women? The lean camel is bigger than a horse. Humph, it really responds to this sentence. I am afraid that the Xiang family cannot underestimate it."

Originally, they thought that the glorious era of the Xiang family had ended, and Xiang Nuan had a bad relationship with the Xiang family, so their Shan family was full of airs. However, the Xiang family actually said that Xiang Nuan would go to propose marriage to Xiang Li, not to mention how many gifts they gave. Just because Xiang Nuan and Huo Che and his wife arrived at the Shan family together, Shan Xiaobei's father actually felt that he had muttered to Xiang Pingyuan. Today, Zhou Nuo said that her grandfather's surname was Ling, so he didn't dare to underestimate him.

"What should we do with our Xiaobei's marriage?"

"I didn't hear Mr. Huo say that I'll choose another day, but I'm afraid Mr. Huo won't be there again. Then it will be our negotiations with the Xiang couple."

Shan Xiaobei's father always seems to be planning steadily.

Li Xiaoruan listened next to her, for some reason, and felt very aggrieved. Why did the Xiang family's thin camels be bigger than horses? And their Li family is also a scholarly family. What is she not as good as Xiang Nuan, a woman who loves to show off? Xiang Nuan was so arrogant just now, and she was so angry when she thought about it.

"Didn't we Xiaobei have to marry the boy from the Xiang family? Didn't our uncle and aunt always say that Xiang Li's work is unstable and has no future?"

Li Xiaoruan thought about it and immediately reminded her enthusiastically.

"Don't young people nowadays play games? Your uncle even went out to inquire. It is said that he has more hope than some industries that look very solemn, let alone Huo Che as a guarantee."

This time, Shan Xiaobei's mother suddenly became very interested in Xiang Li's career again.

Li Xiaoruan was a little surprised and turned to look at Shan Xiaobei's father again: "Uncle, do you think so too?"

"Well! Someone said a while ago that although the Xiang family has collapsed, the family still has some financial resources, and I don't believe it, but today it seems that it may not be true. If they really have some financial resources, Xiang Li is the only son in the family, and Xiang Nuan values ​​him quite well. If we Xiaobei gets married, we should be considered to be unable to suffer a loss."

"But you're always married!"

Li Xiaoruan said again.

"Marrying is a bit of a marriage, but in this way, our Shan family is superior to the Xiang family. Even if that kid Xiang Li is doing well in the future, we are not trying to find out about the money and power of others, right?"

Shan Xiaobei's father thought about it and felt more and more that this marriage was worthy of his study.

Li Xiaoruan unexpectedly, Shan Xiaobei's father suddenly changed his mind and felt even more uncomfortable. He asked his aunt again: "Do you think so too?"

"Your uncle is the one who decides the family, and I listen to him."

Shan Xiaobei's mother said, accidentally glanced at her niece's legs, frowned unconsciously, and whispered: "Xiao Ruan, attending such a family gathering in the future is considered a family gathering. Don't wear it so open anymore."

Li Xiaoruan...

When Shan Xiaobei's father left, he whispered to Shan Xiaobei's mother: "I have business work in the afternoon, so I won't leave with you two. You should talk to her on the way back. It doesn't matter if she wants to work in Huo, but if something happens to the heat, our family will not care about it. Besides, you are not allowed to ask her to attend such gatherings in the future."

Although Shan Xiaobei's father's voice was not loud, Shan Xiaobei's mother was a sensible person and nodded.

"It doesn't matter if she smells bad. What about our daughter? Now she is sturdy with a big belly. Do you really want to be a single mother? I think Xiang Li has a lot of affection for his sister. Xiao Ruan has caused trouble with his sister. Think about it, it's better to have our daughter?"

Shan Xiaobei's mother didn't care much about it, but when she heard about her daughter, she immediately nodded: "I understand, you go and do your business, I'll talk to her later."

Li Xiaoruan is her niece and has always been close to her. In fact, Shan Xiaobei's mother has always taken Li Xiaoruan as her daughter, but if she is really compared to her daughter, she will always be a bit worse than her relationship.

When Shan Xiaobei's father's car left first, Li Xiaoruan took his aunt back and said, "Auntie, don't listen to my uncle's everything. What if it ruins our Xiaobei's happiness? I saw that the Xiang family is not as good as he thought. What kind of lean camels are bigger than horses? If the Xiang family really has some family background, Xiang Li will do so hard? He is so laughing!"

"What you said is not unreasonable, but you think about Xiao Ruan, what if Xiang Li really wants to make a name for himself and want to have a future?"

Mama Shan asked back.

"What future can he have? Don't he rely on the help of the Huo family?"

Li Xiaoruan asked again.

Shan’s mother was not very happy, but she couldn’t argue with her niece. She always felt that Xiang Li should still be a little promising, right? Her daughter wouldn’t have such a lack of vision, just like a fool?

"Xiang Li has a good wife, and if she becomes an actor, she may be able to make some money."

Li Xiaoruan said again, in fact, Li Xiaoruan really likes Xiang Li in her heart, and she thinks that this person's skin is so beautiful. It's a pity that he is not strong enough. Otherwise, how many women would have to pounce on him? How could there be something about Shan Xiaobei? It's just a stubborn silly girl.

"Xiao Ruan, why is he your brother-in-law too? You are not allowed to say that to him in the future?"

Mother Shan didn't like it and reminded her in a nice voice.

Li Xiaoruan looked back and then immediately raised her hand and gently grabbed her hand, responding with a smile: "Okay! I've heard from my aunt, I'm here to compete for favor with me. I'm not allowed to talk about him, I don't say anything, I'll listen to you."

She has always been very good at coaxing her elders.

Shan’s mother was happy to hear that she was so sensible, but she didn’t know what she was thinking.

——

Huo Che and Xiang Nuan set up a table upstairs alone. When they were serving, Xiang Nuan answered Xiang Li's call. Zhou Nuan said a few words to her on the phone. Xiang Nuan hung up the phone and sat back, sighing helplessly.

"Why are you unhappy?"

Huo Che asked and poured her a cup of tea.
