the xu family of lingnan
when the atmosphere was a little heavy, a man came in with a suitcase. â young master, do you still want to leave your things in the previous guest room? â
âyes.â the man nodded.
jing hanchuan raised his eyebrows.
he was preparing to stay here permanently.
xu yuanfei was also a little surprised. â brother, youâre staying here? â
âis there a problem?â
wait, arenât you very busy at the design institute? â
â you can work on the computer. second uncle was worried about you and xu yao, so he asked me to come over and take care of you. â the man said matter-of-factly.
jing hanchuan sighed helplessly.
was master xu worried about xu yuanfei and xu yao? after all, xu yao was alone and had lived at home for so long. there were so many people in the xu family, so there was no reason for him to not take care of them. he was just here to guard against him.
did she make him so worried?
âhanchuan, this is my brother, xu shunqin.â xu yuanfei had also guessed her fatherâs intention, so she forced herself to introduce him to jing hanchuan.
âhello,â he said. jing hanchuan reached out his hand calmly, his face expressionless.
âyes.â
the two men simply shook hands and tested each other, but they could not read each otherâs emotions.
â brother, you havenât eaten yet, right? come over quickly. hanchuan made dinner today. you came at the right time. â xu yuanfei livened up the atmosphere.
jing hanchuan explained after the three of them were seated.
âyufei is allergic, so the dishes are lighter. i donât know if they suit your taste.â
âitâs good,â
xu shunqin wasnât a picky person. he could only make a few simple dishes, but when he saw jing hanchuan make a table full of good dishes, he didnât hesitate to praise him.
jing hanchuan was a little surprised. he had thought that she would be a very hostile person, but he didnât expect her to be so straightforward.
however, the next topic was a little awkward ...
xu shunqin was obviously a parent, and the content of their conversation was the same:
âhow long have you been with yuanfei?â
âfour months.â
âwhat are you doing now?â
jing hanchuan was left speechless.
xu shunqin raised his eyes and looked at him. â no work? â
â i made some investments. iâm earning quite a bit. â
â as long as you can be self-sufficient, thatâs enough. have you ever planned for your future? â
jing hanchuan had never experienced the feeling of meeting a parent or being interrogated from master xu, but he had never expected to experience it from him.
â i have some plans, but i still need to ask for yuanfei and your opinions. â however, he was also a man with a clear mind, and he didnât let xu shunqin find any fault in his words.
â¦â¦
the two of them went back and forth, secretly measuring each other up.
the jing family thought that only the third master and the fu familyâs young master could fight with their sixth master like this. the xu familyâs young master was nothing like them.
elder xu had two sons, but when he handed the xu family over to master xu, it caused quite a stir.
after all, he had an eldest son, but the power was handed over to the younger son. the eldest sonâs family was exiled to jinling, thousands of miles away. it was said that the eldest sonâs family had a lot of complaints.
there were rumors that apart from the mid-autumn and new year celebrations, he rarely returned to the capital and his relationship with master xuâs family was also ordinary.
although they were far from the capital, they had taken root in jin ling and were considered famous. however, they were thousands of miles away from the capital, and jing hanchuan had never paid attention to the xu family before. it was only when he had investigated them before that he had roughly found out about the xu familyâs connections.
the eldest son of the xu family was xu shunqin. he was the direct grandson of the xu family and worked at the jin ling design institute. he was thirty years old and had yet to marry.
what surprised jing hanchuan was that he had a good relationship with xu yuanfei.
moreover, since master xu had asked him to come over, he was willing to go to the capital. it could be seen that the xu family had a good relationship in private, and the rumors outside were probably mostly fabricated.
jing hanchuan wasnât a talkative person, but he always had a way to please others.
so after a meal, xu shunqin had a good impression of him.
after the meal, the three of them sat in the living room for a while and ate some fruit.
â itâs getting late, â xu shunqin said in an extremely light voice.
it was obvious that he wanted jing hanchuan to get lost.
âyes, itâs getting late.â jing hanchuan knew his own limits and immediately stood up.
however, before xu yuanfei could say anything, xu shunqin had already stood up. â iâll send you off. â
xu yufei bit his lip. â brother, iâll send him. â
â there are a lot of catkins outside. your face has just recovered a little. donât go out. iâll send him off. â xu shunqinâs reasoning was also very good, and she couldnât refute it.
xu yufei pursed his lips. â then can i talk to him? â
âspeak.â
xu shunqin crossed his arms and stared at the two.
it was too awkward!
in the end, xu yufei gritted his teeth. â give me a call when you get home. â
his big brother was staring at them, but he couldnât say anything intimate. he could only watch the two of them leave one after another.
xu shunqin returned ten minutes later.
âbrother, what did you say to him?â xu yuanfei asked nervously.
âyou want to know?â
âen!â she nodded her head vigorously.
â i didnât want to tell you, â said xu shunqin, trying to suppress his laughter. he looked a little lazy when he laughed, and there was even a dimple on one side of his face.
xu yufei gritted his teeth in anxiety, but he couldnât do anything about it.
â i asked a friend to bring you some special medicine for allergies from abroad. later, you can do a skin test behind your ear. if you donât have any allergic reactions, give it a try. i heard that itâs quite effective. â
âthank you, brother.â xu yuanfei still smiled and thanked him. â iâll go upstairs and rest then. â
she was just thinking of calling jing hanchuan after she returned to her room.
xu shunqin nodded and said, â you should be more careful at home in the future. if you want to be intimate, go back to your room. â
xu yufeiâs face turned red and he quickly went back into the house.
when xu yao learned that xu shunqin was coming, he came back as soon as he was done with his overtime. he even ordered some barbecue takeaway and drank with his brother until night.
**
after jing hanchuan went back, he had someone investigate xu shunqin.
other than his name, gender, and age, he knew nothing about his preferences because he never showed his happiness on his face. he didnât even know what he liked to eat or what he would choose for his meals.
his entire body was like an iron bucket wrapped with iron sheets, airtight.
it occurred to jing hanchuan that fu chenâs sister had urged fu pei to marry into the shen family. their ancestral home was in jinling, so they might know something. he called fu chen and asked him to help investigate.
âthe xu familyâs eldest branch?â fu chen hadnât returned to the country yet.
âyes,â
âsince youâve come into contact with him, how is he?â
âi canât see through it.â
âfriend or foe?â
âi donât know,â
xu shunqin was hostile to him, but he was always praising his cooking skills. people like that were the hardest to deal with.
âdo you think he has a big influence on miss xu? or his influence in the xu family.â
âitâs very big,â jing hanchuan pursed his lips. â iâm on good terms with the xu family, and iâm deeply trusted by master xu. â
fu chenâs fingers rubbed the buddha beads in his hand. after a long while, he smiled and said,
â jing hanchuan, youâre finished. this is the toughest bone to crack in the xu family. â
master xu was always showing his emotions to him, but he liked tea and there was always a way to get close to him. someone like xu shunqin, who he couldnât see through, was the most difficult to deal with.
âyouâre teasing me?â jing hanchuan raised an eyebrow.
â iâll ask my brother-in-law to help you investigate. iâll let you know if thereâs any news. â
â¦â¦
fu chen received xu shunqinâs information the next day.
this manâs personal profile and life experience could simply be described as wonderful. he was tall, intelligent, and highly educated ...
he didnât have any special preferences, and he felt a little unconquerable.
when he had sent the information to jing hanchuan, he had said, â âfortunately, my brother-in-law is still young and insensible.â
**
on the other hand, jing hanchuan was thinking about how to get along with xu shunqin. after all, he was already in the capital, and there was no way he wouldnât show his respect.
he wanted to ask xu yao about the situation.
âmy brother is a good person. just be yourself,â the fool said.
âyour brother didnât mention me to you?â
âwhat did you mention?â
âi think your brother might not like me.â
xu yao chuckled and immediately added, â youâre not a likable person to begin with! â
this was the first time that jing hanchuan was insulted by xu yao. the young master of the xu family was happy all day. he finally got to insult jing hanchuan. it was so f * cking awesome!
years of hatred had been wiped away in a single day.
xu shunqin could tell that jing hanchuan was trying to get on his good side, but he didnât show it on his face and allowed him to do whatever he wanted. however, what jing hanchuan didnât know was ...
this brother-in-law was a very clear-minded person. on the first night they met, he spoke to master xu on the phone, â
[ he takes good care of yuanfei, is meticulous and thoughtful, and is a good person. as for his character and other things, they still need to be observed. ]
the evaluation was excellent.
