Chapter 710: Perfect!
At this moment, their gazes landed on her, causing Fang Yi to bite her lip and feel embarra.s.sed.
It was as though they were all a family and wanted to shut the door and whisper to each other while excluding her.
However, the reason why Lin Jing liked Fang Yi was that she knew when to advance and when to retreat.
Hence, even though she was indignant, she still said, “Alright, then, Brother Huai, I’ll leave first.”
After saying that, she walked out.
After working in the special department for so many years, she already had her own car. The car was parked at the entrance.
She had purposely called him Brother Huai to let the Xue family know that she and Xiang Huai had a close relations.h.i.+p.
They were childhood sweethearts!
Indeed, before she could walk out, she heard Xue Xi’s mother ask, “Xiao Xiang, do you know this lady?”
Fang Yi smiled.
Indeed, she had attracted their attention, right?
However, before she could smile, she heard Xiang Huai explain lazily, “I’m not familiar with her. She’s the daughter of my mother’s friend. She must be here to look for my mother!”
Fang Yi: “?”
Lin Jing even said, “Yes, I asked Xiao Yi to help take a look at the dishes. She’s more knowledgeable in this area.”
Fang Yi: “!!!”
She clenched her fists.
She was not a chef!
Unfortunately, with the butler watching her, she could not stay and continue eavesdropping. She could only walk out and start the car to leave.
…
After Fang Yi left, the courtyard fell silent.
Ye Li widened her eyes. After ten seconds, she was slow to react. She pointed at Lin Jing stiffly and looked at Xiang Huai. “Your mother?”
Xiang Huai touched his nose guiltily and lowered his head.
Ye Li looked at Lin Jing in disbelief and pointed at Xiang Huai. “Your son?”
Lin Jing gulped. “Erm, Ye Li, listen to my explanation!”
“…”
This scene inexplicably felt like they were catching adulterers. Xue Sheng and Old Xiang stood at the side and looked at the two women. They suddenly felt that they were a little redundant.
Xue Sheng coughed.
Old Xiang also rubbed his nose.
After the two of them did it at the same time, they looked at each other. For some unknown reason, they suddenly felt that they were in the same boat.
Xue Sheng instantly stopped being nervous. Old Xiang also put down his dignity as a high-level figure. The two of them smiled at each other and Old Xiang said, “Lin Jing has been nervous for many days because of this matter. I’m just afraid that her best friend will fall out with her.”
Xue Sheng also smiled. “Ye Li has always been puzzled at home. The two of them are best friends, so why do they have to have a family meal together? It’s as though they’re sitting down to discuss the wedding date.”
Xiang Huai: “?”
Weren’t they here to discuss the wedding date?
Just as he thought this, he heard his father-in-law say, “So we misunderstood. Since Xiao Xiang has such a relations.h.i.+p, our families should indeed sit down and get to know each other.”
Xiang Huai: “…”
Even if he’s a dog, he is still a father-in-law.
When he first entered, Xue Sheng was the most reserved person. In front of Old Xiang, he was also the most humble. However, now that things were different, he suddenly turned on people.
They were originally here to discuss the wedding date. After all, the little kid was already 19 years old! In a few months, she would be 20 years old and could get married!
However, Xue Sheng’s words casually treated today’s meeting as “getting to know each other.”
However, Lin Jing and Old Xiang were at fault. How could they dare to say anything else?
Old Xiang stared at Xue Sheng and found this businessman interesting.
Her son was in a relations.h.i.+p and insisted on getting married.
Old Xiang would definitely pay more attention. Without even needing to investigate, the Xue family’s background was placed on the table by the a.s.sistant. He originally thought that Xue Sheng was an opportunistic businessman, but he did not expect him to be so interesting.
After seeing his son being defeated, Old Xiang was in an especially good mood. Hence, he extended his hand and held Xue Sheng’s. “Yes, we don’t mean anything else. We just want to get to know each other. Since we’re all in the capital, the two families should interact more from here on!”
Lin Jing also tugged at Ye Li’s hand with an apologetic expression. “I really didn’t lie to you on purpose. When we first met at the airport, I couldn’t help but criticize my son and badmouth him to you. At that time, I was afraid that you would have something against Xiang Huai, so I didn’t dare to acknowledge him. Ye Li, tell me, what must I do to make you forgive me? I’ll apologize to you!”
Her att.i.tude was very humble. Moreover, Ye Li was not really angry. Instead, she heaved a sigh of relief.
After all, Xue Sheng was saying last night, “I think Lin Jing’s son’s upbringing must be especially good. He’s better than Xiao Xiang. Don’t you also like her son a lot? Why don’t you let Xue Xi and Lin Jing’s son try going out?”
Ye Li had still been in a dilemma.
From the description, she did like Lin Jing’s son a lot.
However, she also liked Xiao Xiang! But it turned out that Xiao Xiang was Lin Jing’s son!
This was perfect!
Now that her best friend had become her in-law, she was no longer worried about Xixi’s future mother-in-law!
The smoke dissipated.
…
Fang Yi, who had left, had nowhere to go. In her anger, she could only return to the special department.
Just as she entered, she saw Zheng Zhi walking over with a frown and a furious expression.
Fang Yi paused and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Zheng Zhi said angrily, “Jing Fei went to that production crew. Among the group of people he brought back, there was an actress who was actually an esper! Moreover, she knows Xue Xi! She’s already been detained. She once teased me and now she’s messing with someone in the production crew. She damaged someone else’s throat. This is too much!”
Xue Xi’s friend?
Fang Yi raised an eyebrow. “What kind of punishment do you want to give?”
