Regarding the relationship between the Xu family and the Lin family, Yu Fan also did some research before accompanying Lin Ning. The Xu family is considered a scholarly family. Although the Xu family is much younger than Lin, he is still considered a veteran in the party. During the Cultural Revolution, the old man of the Xu family was persecuted and almost lost his life. In the end, it was Mr. Lin who saved the life. Only then did the two families get engaged. But I didn't expect that it would end up like this. Since then, the relationship between the two families has become estranged. Mr. Lin has always insisted on raising Lin Ning personally. In addition to Lin Ning's own relationship, it is more because of his own inner guilt.
Lin Ning was a little scared and a little looking forward to going to the Xu family. Yu Fan was still clear about this. The memory of her mother was already very vague in Lin Ning's heart. The appearance of the Xu family was tantamount to opening up the world. It is human nature to want to understand the memories in her heart. But the Xu family is very strange to her after all. It is natural to be a little scared.
To be honest, Lin Ning didn't know anything about the Xu family. For a while after she became sensible, she also deliberately tried to understand and inadvertently tested Mr. Lin's attitude. Mr. Lin encouraged her to go. Contact. But the silent sigh after speaking made her very hesitant. In addition, the Xu family did not take the initiative to contact her, so the matter was settled.
Seeing Lin Ning's nervousness at the moment, Yu Fan smiled and held her hand. He looked at her with encouragement. "Don't be nervous. I have everything." Lin Ning glanced at him and smiled very reluctantly. This kind of Although she was very touched by these words, it was impossible to make her relax. Only she, the client, could understand the feeling.
As soon as he got off the car, Yu Fan saw Xu Chaoyang, a member of the Xu family. It could be said that Yu Fan didn't know any of them. Only Xu Chaoyang was familiar to him. Lin Dongfang mentioned Xu Chaoyang specifically. It was not without other meanings. But it's strange to say that since Lin Dongfang mentioned this matter, he never said anything to him again. It was as if Lin Ning went to recognize his relatives and had nothing to do with him.
The same is true for the Xu family. In several contacts with Xu Chaoyang, Lin Dongfang was not mentioned at all. It was as if there was no such person. The strange situation made Yu Fan puzzled for a while. After thinking about it, he was a little confused. Mingwu. It seems that he still underestimated the attitude of the Xu family towards Lin Dongfang. After a wry smile, Yu Fan also strengthened his understanding. In this matter, he was determined not to mention Lin Dongfang.
Smiling and shaking hands with Yu Fan, Xu Chaoyang's eyes quickly turned to Lin Ning. Perhaps it was due to blood connection. Lin Ning also lost his usual cleverness. But he also lost the same spirit as when he was in the car. He was nervous, but his face was calm. His eyes looking at Xu Chaoyang were very clear. Yu Fan was puzzled for a while, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seems that he really doesn't understand women. This... this is too fickle. Bar.
Xu Chaoyang looked at Lin Ning. There was a flash of admiration in his eyes. He was not surprised at every change. This is the mentality that people in the Xu family should have. "It's Xiao Ning. I'm your uncle." Lin Ning hasn't spoken yet. Yu Fan was stunned when he heard this. Uncle, he had never inquired about the relationship between the two. He originally thought that Xu Chaoyang was not too old. He was only a few years older than himself. There shouldn't be too much difference in this generation. He was far away. I didn't expect him to be Lin Ning's elder. So, I wouldn't have to call him...little uncle in the future.
"Hello, uncle. I am Lin Ning." Lin Ning's expression was still very calm, with a slightly reserved smile. This way of meeting made Yu Fan very surprised and not used to it. Logically speaking, this kind of recognition Aren't kissing scenes generally very sensational? How can I make myself feel like a diplomatic scene?
Yu Fan felt weird. Xu Chaoyang took it for granted. He smiled slightly and glanced at the slight bulge in Lin Ning's abdomen. He looked at Yu Fan and said with a smile: "It's windy here. Xiao Ning is pregnant now. Let's just Don’t stand here anymore. Don’t be too polite as a family.”
Family. Yu Fan rolled his eyes in his heart for a while. It seemed that the two people's understanding of the word family was very different. Although he thought so in his heart, he still nodded with a slight smile on his face.
Yu Fan only had a deeper understanding of Xu Chaoyang's so-called family after entering the Xu family. Together with Xu Chaoyang, Lin Ning has four uncles. Xu Chaoyang is the youngest. Fortunately, the other three are all Much older than Yu Fan. Otherwise, he would probably be even more depressed.
After all, they are a family. After the initial estrangement and unfamiliarity, Lin Ning became familiar with them very quickly. Especially after several aunts looked at Lin Ning with red eyes, this strange feeling was swept away. Coupled with the introductions of other sisters, younger sisters, older brothers, and younger brothers, Lin Ning's eyes quickly turned red. This scene gave Yu Fan, who brought Lin Ning here, a feeling of acknowledgment. I hugged my head and cried. Yu Fan on the side couldn't help but think a little heartlessly.
"Hello. I am Xu Chaoping, Xiao Ning's uncle." When Lin Ning was surrounded by the affection of the women of the Xu family, the men of the Xu family also began to greet Yu Fan. Xu Chaoping was about the same age as Lin Dongfang. His body was slightly She is a little fat. She is dressed very formally and her hair is combed meticulously. Since she is quite tall, she does not look bloated.
"Hello, uncle. I am Yu Fan. You can just call me Xiaofan." At this time, Yu Fan did not dare to be careless. He felt a little nervous for no reason.
Smiling and nodding. Xu Chaoping looked at Yu Fan. "Haha. Xiaofan, don't be too nervous. We will be a family from now on. If you have anything to do, you can come to me at the ministry." Xu Chaoping is the deputy minister of the Ministry of Finance. Yu Fan had known about it before he came. Hearing this, he nodded quickly.
"Xiao Ning is exactly the same as her mother when she was a child. Alas..." Holding Yu Fan's hand, Xu Chaoping looked at Lin Ning, who was surrounded by a group of women. He seemed to have thought of something, and sighed with a slightly sad expression. The tone said.
Yu Fan was stunned when he heard this. He didn't understand what Xu Chaoping meant by saying this. He looked at Lin Ning. He didn't know what to say, but he heard a soft hum in his ears. He turned around and saw the elder of the Xu family. Erxu Chaolin had a gloomy look on his face and was muttering in his heart.
"I wasn't optimistic about that guy Lin Dongfang back then. If you had listened to me back then..." Before he could finish his words, Xu Chaoguo, the third son of the Xu family, interrupted softly. "Second brother, why are you talking about this now? It's been a long time ago." Xu Chaolin snorted lightly. He glanced at Xu Chaoguo. He didn't say anything. He just turned around and glared at Yu Fan. It was obvious that the mention of Lin Dongfang made him think of something. Something. He turned his anger on Yu Fan.
Sure enough, he still didn't escape the disaster that affected the fish pond. Yu Fan smiled bitterly in his heart. He had been mentally prepared before coming. After all, he was Lin Dongfang's son-in-law. The Xu family didn't care if Lin Dongfang was the son-in-law. He was chosen for whatever reason. In short, it was right to attribute him to Lin Dongfang's group. It was just that Xu Chaolin came so suddenly. Regardless of whether he was mentally prepared or not, he was still a little embarrassed.
"Don't worry, Xiaofan." He patted Yu Fan on the shoulder. This time it was the boss Xu Chaoping who spoke. "Back then, Chaolin had the best relationship with Xiao Ning and her mother. So..." He didn't finish his words. Yu Fan quickly stood up and said: "It's okay. Uncle. As a junior, I can understand the second uncle's mood."
Yu Fan is not a fool. At this time, he is determined to be the doormat. He quickly positions himself in the position of a junior. This meaning is actually very clear. No matter how deep the conflict between you and Lin Dongfang is, I am still a Junior, your headquarters is too embarrassed to embarrass me. This kind of official routine. At this time, he took it out regardless of it. Xu Chaoping couldn't help but look at him and laugh.
He glanced at Xu Chaoyang secretly. All three members of the Xu family spoke. I wonder if it was the turn of the fourth son of the Xu family. But Xu Chaoyang didn't even look at him. It was obvious in this matter. This person is not ready to speak. Think about it. How old is Xu Chaoyang? I am afraid that when Lin Ning's mother's incident happened, he was not very sensible at all. His resentment towards Lin Dongfang was not that deep. However, Who knows.
Looking at Yu Fan, who was acting a little naughty, and then at Lin Ning in the distance, Xu Chaoping couldn't help but sigh. He looked at Xu Chaolin and Xu Chaoguo, then turned to look at Xu Chaoyang, who had been silent. "Chaoyang, you Take Xiaofan to the study to meet the old man. Don't let him wait too long."
Xu Chaoyang stood up quickly and nodded. Yu Fan also stood up. He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at it like this, the Xu family had a lot of resentment towards Lin Dongfang. Sitting down again might arouse more resentment among them. Don't let all the good memories fall on Lin Dongfang's son-in-law. Thinking of this, Yu Fan couldn't help but glance at Xu Chaoping gratefully. Xu Chaoping also smiled at him and nodded.
After greeting Xu Chaolin and Xu Chaoguo, Yu Fan followed Xu Chaoyang and walked inside. After some contact, Yu Fan understood clearly. The Xu family members had a lot of resentment towards Lin Dongfang, especially Xu Chaolin. From the way he looked at him, Yu Fan could understand why Lin Dongfang had that attitude. The second one was Xu Chaoguo. Although he didn't say anything, his silence didn't mean that he had a good impression of Yu Fan. In total, it was the opposite. It was Xu Chaoping, the eldest son of the Xu family, who showed the most magnanimity.
"How is it? It doesn't feel good." Xu Chaoyang said in a low voice while looking at Yu Fan with a smile.
In the Xu family, Yu Fan was the most familiar with Xu Chaoyang. He was no longer as reserved as before. He rolled his eyes at him, looked at him with a sigh and said: "The people in your family are resentful of my father-in-law. So big. Why don't you seem to care much?"
Smiling slightly, Xu Chaoyang said: "To be honest, when my sister's incident happened, I was still very young. I also resented it when I was a child. But after so many years, everything will gradually fade away." At this point, look. He glanced at Yu Fan. "Besides, you are not your father-in-law. No matter how you settle the accounts, it will never be your fault." After saying that, he looked at Yu Fan with a slight smile.
Sighing, Yu Fan looked at Xu Chaoyang with a grateful face. These words made him feel like he had met someone who understood. Just as he was about to speak, Xu Chaoyang slowed down and said mysteriously: "How many of them are they?" Although the resentment against your father-in-law is not small, it is not the deepest. Do you want to know who in our family has the deepest resentment against your father-in-law."
Yu Fan was stunned for a moment. But he understood in a blink of an eye. He immediately looked at Xu Chaoyang nervously. Xu Chaoyang nodded and said with a smile: "Every time I mention your father-in-law, I gnash my teeth. Alas, my only daughter married into your Lin family. A good person was lost just like that. It was a big blow to the old man. Although I don’t know much about what happened back then, I can see that the old man was unhappy about marrying his sister to that year. I regret and blame myself for what happened to your family." After saying that, Xu Chaoyang's face looked sad.
At first, he was just a little nervous. But after hearing what Xu Chaoyang said, Yu Fan felt like his intestines were about to turn green. This was too deceiving. He had provoked whomever. For no reason. It's really unlucky to take such a big blame for your father-in-law and treat him like a son-in-law.
While feeling sorry for himself, Xu Chaoyang had already stopped. He raised his hand and knocked on the door. He said softly: "Dad, Xiaofan is here." There was no response for a long time. After a while, there were several coughs inside. An old man said A very energetic voice came out. "Well, let him in." Xu Chaoyang hummed softly. He looked up at Yu Fan, who looked nervous, patted his shoulder, sighed slightly, and turned around to leave. .
