Zhong Lan pulled Pei Xiao aside and asked in a low voice: "Tell me the truth, is there any connection between Mr. Xi and Xi Wanlai?"
My mother suddenly became smarter today. She nodded and said awkwardly: "He is the late half-brother."
"To be honest, this kid has a good character, he is polite, and it can be seen that he has a good upbringing. The most important thing is that he values you. I think he can score 90 points. From now on... Well, if you want to marry, you will always have to pay attention to him in his family.
Awkward."
Pei Xiao's face turned red: "Mom, where have you been thinking about?"
"You are not young anymore. Mom will be relieved to see you get married and have someone to take care of you."
Xi Xiangdong stood not far away, waiting for her. Every time Zhong Lan looked at her, he smiled politely, making Zhong Lan very satisfied with him.
I really didn't expect that Xi Wanlai could not subdue his mother back then. Xi Xiangdong subdued the old lady into submission within a few hours of her coming out.
Pei Xiao was about to deal with it when he suddenly heard Zhong Lan say again: "But this kind of man is too good and does everything well, but he has to be careful. Mom is someone who has been here before, so I'll give you a heads up."
"..."
Seeing Pei Xiao stunned, Zhong Lan thought she hadn't realized what he meant, so he pushed her over: "Okay, okay, I know that I am the least qualified to care about your feelings. Anyway, please remember my words.
That’s it.”
It wasn't until she got in the car that Pei Xiao came to her senses. It wasn't that she didn't understand, but she was surprised that Zhong Lan, who had suffered a series of emotional setbacks, actually realized what he had learned from experience. She couldn't help but look at Xi Xiangdong again. Could it be that even her mother could see through his appearance?
Is it actually the nature of a beast?
"What?" Xi Xiangdong couldn't help but ask as she stared at her inexplicably.
"It's okay." Pei Xiao quickly shook his head. Regardless of whether the old lady was right or not, there was only one purpose, which was to prevent her daughter from suffering any loss. After thinking about it, she looked out the window and couldn't help but say "Eh", "That's not it."
Way home, right?”
"Well, I have a place to go." Xi Xiangdong looked down at his watch and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Fortunately, there is still time."
Pei Xiao also looked at the time: "It's already ten o'clock, where are you going?"
"Are you still feeling sleepy after sleeping for so long in the afternoon?"
She stopped talking.
Xi Xiangdong smiled again: "Don't worry, it's a good place. You won't regret it if you go there."
The car ran completely opposite to the city center, and finally stopped in front of a remote and deep road. When I got out of the car, I saw only four high walls.
"What is this place?"
Xi Xiangdong had already unbuttoned his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and casually replied: "The family compound."
Pei Xiaolai had never been to Jingli before, so he asked funnyly: "Do I need to climb over the wall to enter the family compound?"
He laughed twice and twisted her nose: "Anyway, if you don't want to be arrested and taken to the police station, just follow me."
Pei Xiao turned around and was about to leave: "Then I'll leave, I won't go."
He pulled me back by the collar: "I won't let you suffer."
This place is extremely quiet. Apart from the occasional fluttering of birds, there are almost no pedestrians. I really don’t know how he thought of coming here. There is a circle of dark trees inside the wall, and there is a little flickering light inside the wall.
Pei Xiao saw him reaching out to test the thickness of the tree trunk first, and couldn't help but ask: "Are you really planning to climb the tree and climb over the wall?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a soft rustle of leaves. When she looked up, she saw that Xi Xiangdong had climbed to the edge of the tree and was already making a living. He hooked the tree trunk with one hand and came back to wave to her: "Come up.
This tree is easy to climb." Zhong Lan pulled Pei Xiao aside and asked in a low voice: "Tell me the truth, is there any connection between Mr. Xi and Xi Wanlai?"
My mother suddenly became smarter today. She nodded and said awkwardly: "He is the late half-brother."
