Of course, Zhu Shushu did not forget the business of her coming today.
The three of them returned to the house together, ignoring Zhou Qing who was hesitating and squirming at the side, and took the first step to grab Zhao Xuanying who was about to enter the kitchen to work, and then created a safe environment for the two of them to talk.
Zhou Qing, who was still worried about how to speak, was left alone outside the door.
After closing the kitchen door, Zhu Shushu turned around and looked at Zhao Xuanying, who was confused by her sudden move. She then quietly moved forward and started cooing in a low voice.
"How's it going now?"
"What happened?"
"That's it!"
She didn't have the nerve to clarify what she was saying, and when she saw Zhao Xuanying in front of her, she was determined to pretend to be ignorant, so she had no need to hide it anymore.
He spoke directly about the scene he witnessed that day.
"I saw it at the door. Please kiss my brother."
"..."
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Xuanying immediately froze on the spot. First she blinked her eyes in surprise, and then her eyes blinked faster and faster. At the same time, her normally normal face began to turn red.
Even though more than a week has passed since this incident, she still feels shy when others mention it.
His eyes were wandering around due to his guilty conscience, looking at the ingredients he bought from the market...
"You have to put the meat in the refrigerator quickly so it doesn't spoil by then."
She muttered to herself, and then turned around to take out the meat from the bag. However, this method of changing the subject did not fool Zhu Shushu. She quickly stretched out her hand and grabbed the other person, firmly restraining Zhao Xuanying.
At the same time, the gaze he looked at the other party became extremely firm.
The movement when speaking is still small and pitiful.
If the two of them weren't in a small kitchen, no matter what the sound of breathing, you might not be able to hear clearly what Zhu Shushu was saying at this moment.
"There is no need to hide between us. The more I know, the more I can help you make suggestions, right? Don't worry that I will talk nonsense everywhere, I am on your side!"
"Shu Shu..."
"Don't worry, apart from you and my brother, plus the three of me, no one else knows about this at all!"
"..."
"Tell me, how far have you come?"
"Yeah, it's not that far..."
Zhao Xuanying didn't know how to explain it.
Although he acted in the heat of the moment that day, he felt very inappropriate afterwards. After all, Liu Weicheng was nominally the man who had just been engaged to Lin Nianwei, and his actions were considered dirty tricks.
For such behavior, it would not be an easy task for Zhao Xuanying to speak out in detail.
He secretly glanced at Zhu Shushu's expression, and when he saw the curiosity in her eyes, he continued to talk in a low voice.
"Even if I express my feelings, he is the same as me..."
"Same as what?"
"Like it all the same..."
"I'll just say it!"
With an expression that confirmed this, Zhu Shushu seemed to have expected it. She nodded with satisfaction, then looked at the other person and continued.
"I've long thought that my brother likes you, but he never said it. Now it's fine. Since the piece of paper in front of you two is torn, things should not be a big problem in the future."
"But... Teacher Lin's side..."
"Isn't it just an engagement? I don't have a marriage certificate. Besides, my brother can definitely handle it. He's not the kind of person who is half-hearted, eating from the bowl and looking at the pot."
"Yes, also..."
Listening to Zhu Shushu's speech with such confidence in Liu Weicheng, she seemed to be inspired. Zhao Xuanying, who had been troubled by this for more than a week, also seemed to be encouraged.
Although Liu Weicheng did tell her that he would resolve this matter as soon as possible, but a week had passed and there was no trace of her.
This week, the two of them only met three times.
Originally, she wanted to take advantage of these few meetings to find out how far the progress was, but every time she saw Liu Weicheng's tired look, the words came to her lips but she couldn't say them out no matter what.
In desperation, this has been postponed until now.
Zhao Xuanying is too easy to think about others.
It was obviously a very important matter, but seeing that Liu Weicheng was exhausted from work, she couldn't effectively ask her doubts.
Another week passed with procrastination. Even though she was curious about it, she couldn't find a reason to ask.
After thinking for a moment, when she saw Zhu Shushu standing in front of her, Zhao Xuanying seemed to suddenly realize something. After some hesitation, she hurriedly asked.
"Um... Shushu, I'm just curious. Has your brother been to your house in the past week?"
"My house...well, I have been here before."
"Then... has he ever said anything about this, such as telling your parents about his relationship with Teacher Lin..."
After all, Liu Weicheng was raised by Zhu Chengjun and Hao Yufen since he was a child. From a nominal point of view, they can be regarded as his guardians.
Therefore, issues related to marriage should be discussed with the elders to some extent.
Maybe Zhu Shushu in front of me might have overheard some of the answers to the questions she didn't feel embarrassed to ask.
With this kind of luck in mind, Zhao Xuanying asked this question after hesitation.
However, this inquiry made Zhu Shushu look surprised.
After thinking about it carefully for a while, I firmly shook my head and rejected it.
"Speaking of this, I feel a little strange. Although my brother ate at home the few times he came, he went out with my dad right afterward. I didn't talk to him much, but let's not mention this for now.
Now I'm more worried about my brother's career."
After the curiosity of the gossip was over, Zhu Shushu made it clear her purpose of coming this time.
Overhearing some conversations between her parents last night made her worried about the current situation.
If, as she initially expected, there were problems with her cousin's career, then Zhao Xuanying, who was just an ordinary high school girl now, would really not be able to bring any substantial help to Liu Weicheng.
But Lin Nianwei, who has a big family and a big business, is different.
The superiority in her family allows her to give Liu Weicheng a certain amount of help in his career, and people are very realistic creatures.
Although it is not a good word to describe her parents, Zhu Shushu really feels that if Liu Weicheng's career really has problems, her parents should support Lin Nianwei more than Zhao Xuanying who has nothing.
Some.
Now there is a family of four, and his father Zhu Chengjun firmly believes that Lin Nianwei, his niece-in-law, is very outstanding.
Mother Hao Yufen is in a wavering position. Although she is very satisfied with Lin Nianwei, she also has a good impression of Zhao Xuanying from her usual chats.
There is no doubt that Zhu Shushu herself is a mother, and she firmly stands on the same front as Zhao Xuanying.
As for the younger sister Zhu Qinqin, because of her status as a wallflower and because she is young and has little say, she does not count.
From this point of view... Zhao Xuanying's current situation is not a guaranteed win. This chapter has been completed!
