Chapter 1839 Engagement (Fourth Update)

After Yang Liu finished speaking, he and Ruan Fengmian bowed deeply to the old man.

Mr. Xi quickly helped the two of them up.

"You two kids, why are you still so honest-minded? My old lady and your mother Qiu Yu had a handkerchief before she was alive, so I should help you. Get up, get up."

Ruan Fengmian and Yang Liu straightened up.

Mr. Xi looked at the two of them carefully and saw that their eyes were bright and full of complexion, and there was a look of relief in their eyes.

"It seems that you have lived a good life these years. You can rest assured that Qiu Yuquan Xia knows it. Bai Nian... no, no, it is called Feng Mian now, right?"

Ruan Fengmian nodded: "Yes, Mr. Xi, my current surname is Ruan and my given name is Fengmian. Xiaoyan's current name is Yangliu. Mr. Xi, let me introduce to you my current father and mother."

Ruan Fengmian said, helping Grandpa Ruan and Grandma Ruan who were standing behind him.

"Mom and Dad, this is Mr. Xi who I told you before. Mr. Xi, these are my parents, and this one," he helped Nie Beilou over, "you should know this, Xiao Qi's master." , Mr. Beilou."

Xi Jiu has introduced the Ruan family to his family a long time ago, so although Mr. Xi has never met them, he is very familiar with them.

He smiled and made a hand-over salute to the two elders of the Ruan family. His tone was friendly and natural: "I have long heard that Lao Jiu said that Xiao Qi has a pair of loving grandparents. Today I finally have the honor to meet. Brother Ruan, my younger siblings, I I’ve been waiting for you to come.”

The two elders of the Ruan family were very nervous before they came. The Xi family's old man's status is too high, and they are afraid that the other party's aura is too strong and they cannot hold it, which will embarrass Ruan Qi.

But I didn't expect that the powerful Mr. Xi would be so kind.

Grandpa Ruan and Grandma Ruan’s hanging hearts finally fell back. The two smiled and exchanged greetings with Mr. Xi. After that, Mr. Xi looked past Ruan Fengmian and towards Nie Beilou beside him.

"Mr. Beilou."

Mr. Xi put away his smile and bowed respectfully to Nie Beilou, "Twenty years ago, thanks to Mr. Beilou's rescue, my son Xiao Ran's life was saved. This great kindness and kindness will always be remembered by Xi. , dare not forget.”

Back then, Xi Xiaoran was poisoned, went crazy, and was in critical danger several times. If it hadn't been for Nie Beilou's timely intervention to save his life, Xi Xiaoran would have been reduced to ashes long ago, and how could he have been reunited as a family now.

Mr. Xi had always been very grateful to Nie Beilou. When they finally met, he directly abandoned his noble status and humbly saluted 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 Xiaoqi's master. Today we only talk about family ties and not kindness. I can't accept this gift. Xi Xiaozi, come here and help your grandfather." "

Xi Jiu did not dare to disobey Nie Beilou and supported her grandfather obediently.

Mr. Xi gave him a confused look.

How come this grandson has never been so obedient in front of him?

Isn't the double standard for brats a bit excessive?

Mr. Xi complained speechlessly, then he raised his head and waved to Xi Xiaoran and the others who were following him.

"Brother Ruan, younger siblings, Mr. Beilou, these are my two useless sons and daughters, Xi Xiaoran and Xi Xiaoyun. This is my daughter-in-law, Duan Wei."

The two sides exchanged pleasantries again. Xi Xiaoran and Duan Wei, in particular, were so enthusiastic that they were afraid that if they were not careful, they would ruin their son's marriage.

Fortunately, both families are good-tempered people, and within a few moments, everyone got along well.

Amid a burst of chatter and laughter, the group of people went to the private room led by the waiter.

Exquisite and expensive dishes were served like water. The Ruan and Xi families together only had a dozen people, but the Xi family ordered a 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, everyone. Let's chat while eating. By the way, Xiao Qi, this is the seafood soup you have been talking about before, eat it quickly. "

Mr. Xi brought a cup of seafood soup to Ruan Qi with a smile. The loving look on his face made him look like Ruan Qi's biological grandfather, not her boyfriend's grandfather.

The Ruan family did not expect that the Xi family could even remember exactly what Ruan Qi liked to eat, and they couldn't help but feel more reassured about the marriage.

…

Everyone chatted while eating.

The two families did not talk about marriage as soon as they got together, but they talked about some of their parents' quarrels, which could be regarded as explaining to each other their family backgrounds and the composition of their respective family members.

The adults were talking and the children couldn't get in the way, so Ruan Qi simply immersed herself in eating, while Xi Jiu wore disposable gloves and peeled crabs for her.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the box door.

Everyone chatted for a while.

"Who is it? The waiter? Which of you has ordered again?" Mr. Xi asked.

Xi Xiaoran shook his head in confusion: "No, the dishes are all served. Dad, you guys talk, I'll go take a look."

Xi Xiaoran took off his napkin, stood 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 visitor in surprise: "Lao Jiang? Why are you here? Why are Bo also here?"

The visitors turned out to be Bo Ye and his uncle Jiang Yan.

The two of them may have just returned from the army, and they were both wearing dark green uniforms. There was still some dust on Bo Ye's uniform, and it looked like he had just experienced a field training.

"There is an event in the army today, so I will pay for everyone to come here and have a good time. When I came up, I happened to meet the hotel manager. He said that your whole 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 the same pair of pants. The hotel manager of the Imperial Hotel knew that the two families were closely related, so he told Jiang Yan about the Xi family coming to dine.

When Jiang Yan heard that the Xi family had even sent out Mr. Xi, he suddenly felt something was wrong. Out of politeness and curiosity, he took his nephew Bo to the private dining room where the Xi family ate.

Jiang Yan glanced into the box: "I heard that Mr. Xi is here too. Is there any festival in your family today? Why are you all going out? Where is Mr. Xi? I'll say hello to him."

Jiang Yan said, about to enter the house.

Xi Xiaoran quickly stopped him.

"Wait a moment. Today is a meeting between my family and the parents of Xiaoqi's family. What should I do if you rush in with such evil aura and scare the elderly?"

When Jiang Yan heard this, his eyes widened immediately.

"Parents meeting?!" he said in shock, "Are we going to get engaged?"

Xi Xiaoran nodded: "Yes. Get engaged first, and then get married when Xiao Qi reaches the legal age."

Jiang Yan's eyes suddenly turned green.

He turned around and stared at his nephew for a while, then raised his hand and slapped him on the head with a 'pop' sound.
