Chapter 107: What happened when I left...
Mrs. Wen's smile slowly faded and she said calmly: "Xiao Xi has just come back, this matter is not urgent."
Mrs. He hurriedly said: "Okay. I don't mean anything else. The two children are about the same age and are engaged, so it would be nice to get to know each other."
You have watched He Zhao grow up, and his appearance and character are not bad..."
Grandma interrupted her in a deep voice, her voice indistinct from emotion and anger, "Let's wait until later to discuss this matter."
Having said that, there is no point in further entanglement.
Mrs. He had no choice but to temporarily give up the idea of introducing her grandson to Ning Xi.
She was a little disappointed when she failed to achieve her goal, and most of her previous enthusiasm and energy had dissipated.
Before leaving, Mrs. He took out the ruby bracelet she had prepared and handed it to Ning Xi, "It's our first time meeting you. This is my grandma's wish."
Ning Xi was about to refuse.
"Take it."
Grandma paused and then continued: "I have already bought the pink diamond that Xintian was interested in at the last exhibition. I will have it delivered to the He family's old house later."
Hearing this, Mrs. He's last hope was shattered.
I originally thought about using the bracelet to please the He family, but who would have thought that this old sister would not leave any chance!
No matter what, after all, she is her most beloved granddaughter, so naturally she will not let go so easily.
Thinking of this, Mrs. He smiled and said, "I would like to thank you in advance on Xintian's behalf."
After seeing off the guests, grandma patted Ning Xi on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry about the engagement. This is just a verbal agreement. Don't take it to heart."
With that said, she picked up the ruby bracelet and put it on Ning Xi's wrist.
Ning Xi nodded, "Okay, I understand, grandma."
Until this moment, she didn't know how wealthy the Wen family was. For them, gems and pink diamonds were as commonplace as eating and drinking.
No wonder it was said in the news that the Wen family is the only group that can rival the Gu family...
While she was thinking wildly, her grandmother took her hand and said, "Let's go, I'll take you around the manor first."
After saying that, Mrs. Wen led Ning Xi into the sightseeing car and walked around the manor for a whole afternoon.
Unconsciously, the sky has quietly darkened.
When they returned to the villa, dinner had been prepared and the dining table was full of people.
Seeing this, Mrs. Wen walked to the main seat and sat down slowly, and Ning Xi also sat next to her.
Halfway through the meal, Mrs. Wen suddenly spoke.
"Today, the person from the He family came. He also mentioned his previous engagement, and wanted Xiao Xi to meet her grandson to cultivate their relationship."
James held the steak in his mouth and muttered incoherently:
"Engagement? Didn't Xiao Xi just get divorced..."
Before he finished speaking, Wen Mochen flew over with a knife in his eye. James' shoulders shook in fright and he almost choked on his steak.
Wen Mochen frowned slightly, "You're so good, why did you suddenly mention this matter?"
Mrs. Wen coughed slightly: "I mentioned it when I was talking. However, we have watched that boy from the He family grow up, and his character is guaranteed."
Wen Mochen couldn't figure out his niece's thoughts for a while, so he could only say calmly.
"Let's talk about it then. Let's get to know each other first. If it's not suitable, just forget it. It's just a joke engagement anyway, so it doesn't count."
After hearing this, Ning Xi quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
She had just ended an unhappy marriage and didn't want to go on a blind date so soon.
Her uncle's words reassured her a lot.
Beside her, Mother Wen was keenly aware of her daughter's little movements, patted her hand comfortingly, and said softly: "Xiao Xi, just say what you think. Everyone will follow your wishes."
Wen Mochen also responded, "Yes, if Xiao Xi doesn't want to, I will go to He's house tomorrow to make it clear."
Ning Xi didn't want to make things so awkward, so she quickly said:
"No need for uncle, but I don't really want to go on a blind date right now, so let's wait and see."
Wen Mochen nodded, "Okay, whatever you say will be whatever it is."
The topic of the engagement came to an end. James put down his knife and fork, winked at Mrs. Wen, and talked about what happened at work today.
Everyone was amused by his exaggerated description.
Only Ning Xi lowered her eyes, thoughtfully.
Right now, she had just divorced Gu Huaijing and was still pregnant with his child, so it was really not suitable for a blind date.
Let’s find a chance to break off the engagement then…
After finishing her meal, she returned to her room thoughtfully.
Opening the door, she didn't expect to see a figure inside beside her bed.
Seeing her coming back, Wen Qingqing put down the aromatherapy in her hand and said with a smile: "I brought you an aromatherapy, it will help you sleep."
Ning Xi stared at her hand closely, "Thank you...Mom."
Seeing her daughter's somewhat stiff expression, Wen Qingqing's eyes became a little lonely.
She forced herself to smile and said softly, "Then I won't disturb your rest."
After saying that, he walked quickly towards the door.
Ning Xi looked at her mother's thin back and felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
She pursed her lips slightly and said with some difficulty: "Mom, how about you sit with me for a while."
Wen Qingqing's eyes suddenly flashed with joy, "Okay, I'll accompany you."
She quickly walked to the bed and sat down, her eyes full of anticipation.
When Ning Xi saw her mother's appearance, she felt funny and her nose felt a little sore.
She suppressed the turmoil in her eyes and picked up the small objects on the table, "Mom, why did you think of sending incense?"
"I heard from your uncle that you have been overtired recently and haven't had a good rest.
This is the orange aromatherapy I brought back from France to help me sleep. I used to use it a lot when I was in the theater troupe. "
Ning Xi also became somewhat interested in the mention of the troupe, "Are you still dancing in the troupe? When will the performance be performed? Can I go and see it?"
Wen Qingqing: "Of course, I'll get you some infield tickets then."
She quietly looked at her daughter's face, which was more or less similar to her own, and couldn't help but raise her hand to touch her face.
"It would be great if mom found you earlier... If it weren't for Ning Zhiyuan, your grandpa wouldn't have had to take you away."
"What?" Ning Xi had doubts in her heart, "Didn't grandpa run away from home because of a quarrel with grandma..."
Wen Qingqing knew he had made a mistake and said quickly: "Yes, I remembered it wrong."
"But you just said..."
Before Ning Xi could finish her words, she was hurriedly interrupted by her mother, "It's getting late. You should go to bed early. Didn't your uncle say he would take you to see the new company's business tomorrow?"
After saying that, she hurriedly left the room.
Ning Xi stared blankly at the door, becoming more and more confused. What did her mother mean just now?
Who is Ning Zhiyuan...
