Chapter 1839 Engagement (four more)
After Yang Liu finished speaking, she and Ruan Fengmian bowed deeply to the old man.
Old Master Xi hurriedly helped the two of them up.
"You two children, why are you still so honest. My old lady and your mother, Qiu Yu, were handkerchiefs before she was alive. I should help you. Get up, get up."
Ruan Fengmian and Yang Liu straightened up.
Old Master Xi looked at the two of them carefully, and saw that their eyes were bright, their complexions were full, and there was a look of relief in their eyes.
"It seems that you have had a good life these years. You can rest assured that Qiu Yuquan knows you. Bai Nian... no, no, it's called Fengmian now, right?"
Ruan Fengmian nodded: "Yes, Mr. Xi. My surname is now Ruan, and my name is Fengmian. Xiaoyan is now called Yangliu. Mr. Xi, let me introduce you to my current parents."
Ruan Fengmian said, helping Grandpa Ruan and Grandma Ruan standing behind him.
"Mom and Dad, this is Mr. Xi I mentioned to you before. Mr. Xi, this is my parents, and this." He helped Nie Beilou over, "You should know this, Xiao Qi's master , Mr. Beilou."
Xi Jiu had already introduced the Ruan family to his family, so although Mr. Xi had never met them, he was very familiar with them.
He smiled and bowed his hands to the elders of the Ruan family. His tone was friendly and natural: "I have heard from Lao Jiu that Xiao Qi has a pair of loving grandparents, and I am finally lucky enough to meet you today. Brother Ruan, brother and sister, I It can be regarded as expecting you to come.”
The second elder of the Ruan family was very apprehensive before coming. The status of the old man of the Xi family is too high, and they are afraid that the other party's aura is too strong, they can't bear it, and they will embarrass Ruan Qi.
But I didn't expect that the high-ranking and powerful Mr. Xi would be so kind.
Grandpa Ruan and Grandma Ruan's hanging heart finally fell back. The two smiled and exchanged greetings with Mr. Xi. Afterwards, Mr. Xi looked past Ruan Fengmian and looked at Nie Beilou beside him.
"Mr. Beilou."
Mr. Xi put away his smile, and bowed respectfully towards Nie Beilou, "Twenty years ago, thanks to Mr. Beilou's rescue, my son Xiao Ran was saved. The kindness and virtue that Xi has always remembered , dare not forget."
Back then, Xi Xiaoran was highly poisoned and became obsessed, and was in danger several times. If it weren't for Nie Beilou's timely action to save his life, Xi Xiaoran would have been turned into a smear of loess long ago, and there would be no family reunion like today.
Old Master Xi has always been very grateful to Nie Beilou, and when he finally met him, he directly abandoned his noble status and humbly bowed to his benefactor.
Nie Beilou immediately stopped him.
"In terms of age, you are older than me. In terms of seniority, you are Xi Xiaozi's grandfather, and I am Xiao Qi's master. Today we only talk about family affection regardless of kindness. I cannot accept this gift. Xi boy, come here and help your grandfather. "
Xi Jiu didn't dare to disobey Nie Beilou's words, and obediently supported her grandfather.
Old man Xi gave him a hard look.
Why has this grandson never been so obedient in front of him?
Isn't the brat's double standard a bit too much?
Old man Xi complained speechlessly, then he raised his head and waved to Xi Xiaoran and the others who were following behind.
"Brother Ruan, younger siblings, Mr. Beilou, these are my two ineffective sons and daughters, Xi Xiaoran and Xi Xiaoyun. This is my daughter-in-law, Duan Wei."
The two sides exchanged pleasantries again. Especially Xi Xiaoran and Duan Wei, who were so enthusiastic that they were inconceivably enthusiastic. They were afraid that their son's marriage would be messed up if they were not thoughtful.
Fortunately, both of them are good-tempered people, but after a while, everyone became one.
Amidst a burst of chatting and laughing, a group of people went down to the private room led by the waiter.
Exquisite and expensive dishes were served like water. There were only a dozen people in Ruan Xi's family, but Xi's family ordered a large table full of dishes.
"I don't know what you like to eat, so I ordered all the signature dishes of this hotel. Don't be restrained, let's chat while eating. By the way, Xiao Qi, this is the seafood soup you have been talking about before, eat it quickly. "
Old Master Xi brought a cup of seafood soup to Ruan Qi with a smile, his loving face, he looked like Ruan Qi's own grandfather, not her boyfriend's.
The Ruan family did not expect that the Xi family could even remember what Ruan Qi likes to eat, so they couldn't help feeling more at ease about this marriage.
Everyone chatted while eating.
The two families didn't talk about marriage right away, but chatted about some family issues, which can be regarded as explaining to each other about their family background and the composition of their respective family members.
Adults can't talk to children, so Ruan Qi simply buried her head in eating hard, while Xi Jiu wore disposable gloves and peeled crabs for her.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door of the box room.
Everyone's chatting voice stopped.
"Who? Waiter? Who of you ordered again?" Mr. Xi asked.
Xi Xiaoran shook his head in puzzlement: "No, the dishes are all served. Dad, talk to me, I'll go and have a look."
Xi Xiaoran took off the napkin, got up and walked to the door of the box.
He opened the door, and a hearty laughter sounded outside the door.
"The waiter really didn't lie to me, you are really in this hotel!"
Xi Xiaoran looked at the person unexpectedly: "Lao Jiang? Why are you here? Why is Bo Ye also here?"
It was Bo Ye and his uncle Jiang Yan who came.
The two may have just returned from the army, both wearing dark green uniforms. There was still some dust on Bo Ye's uniform, it seemed that he had just gone through a field training.
"There is an activity in the army today, so I will pay for it myself to invite everyone to come here for a meal. When I came up, I happened to meet the hotel manager, and he said that your family is here today."
The relationship between Jiang Yan and Xi Xiaoran is the same as that of Xi Jiubo. They are good brothers who grew up wearing a pair of pants. The hotel manager of the Imperial Capital Hotel knew that the two were close, so he told Jiang Yan about the Xi family's dinner.
Jiang Yan felt that something was wrong when he heard that the Xi family and even Mr. Xi had been mobilized. Out of politeness and curiosity, he took his nephew Bo Ye to the dining room of Xi's family.
Jiang Yan glanced into the box: "I heard that Mr. Xi is here too. Is there any holiday in your family today? Why are you all dispatched? Where is Mr. Xi? Let me say hello to him."
Jiang Yan said, about to enter the house.
Xi Xiaoran hurriedly stopped him.
"Wait a minute. Today is my family's meeting with the parents of Xiaoqi's family. What should you do if you rush in with such a vicious look and scare the old people?"
When Jiang Yan heard this, his tiger eyes widened.
"Parents meeting?!" He said in shock, "Are you going to get engaged?"
Xi Xiaoran nodded: "Yes. Get engaged first, and then get married when Xiaoqi reaches the legal age."
Jiang Yan's eyes suddenly turned green.
He turned his head and stared at his nephew Bo Ye for a while, raised his hand, and slapped his head with a 'slap'.
