Chapter 4: The Aunt Comes to Show Off

For a long time, Xia Nanxi retreated two steps, feeling a little embarrassed. “Th-thank you.”

Zhan Chengyan handed her the backpack in his hand. “What year are you in?”

“First year of graduate school.”

Zhan Chengyan was a little surprised. At 20 years old, she must have skipped a grade.

“Study hard and try not to have conflicts with your classmates.”

Xia Nanxi nodded obediently. “Okay!”

“I heard that Saturday is Grandpa Xia’s 80th birthday. I’ll go visit him then.”

Xia Nanxi nodded again. “Okay.”

“I still have things to do at the company. I won’t walk you back. Be careful on your way.”

“Okay, bye!”

Xia Nanxi turned and ran towards the subway station like she was escaping, and it took two bottles of mineral water before she could catch her breath.

Her first meeting with her husband was at the police station. There was no one more embarrassed than her in the world!

But her cheap husband was really handsome. He was even more handsome than the hottest star in the entertainment industry. She didn’t lose out.

By the time Xia Nanxi got home, it was almost 1 pm, and there weren’t many customers left at the bun shop.

Her mother, Xu Xiufen, was chatting with her aunt, Cai Guixiang.

Cai Guixiang usually looked down on them, but today she was surprisingly smiling.

“Aunt, what good news did you encounter? You’re so happy.”

Cai Guixiang turned around and saw Xia Nanxi, her smile widening. She even uncharacteristically held her hand affectionately.

“Xixi is back from school, right? This good news of mine, I have to thank you for it. Back then, you married the poor boy from the Zhan family instead of your cousin. Today, your cousin can get engaged to the son of “Xilai Hotel”!

Look, these are all sent by my son-in-law, Wang Jianzhou. Abalone, bird’s nest, lingzhi mushrooms, ginseng… a whole truckload! I can’t finish it all, so I brought some for you and your mom.”

Xia Nanxi chuckled awkwardly. “Hehehe… thank you, Aunt.”

Her grandfather and Zhan Chengyan’s grandfather were old comrades-in-arms. When they were young, they promised that their families would become in-laws.

But her grandfather had two sons, and Zhan Chengyan’s grandfather had one son. Unfortunately, they agreed that their grandchildren would marry each other in the future.

Later, due to work assignments, her grandfather came to the city, and Zhan Chengyan’s grandfather went to the countryside. They didn’t contact each other for decades, and they thought that this matter would be forgotten.

Who knew that half a year ago, Zhan Chengyan’s grandfather suddenly contacted her grandfather. They hadn’t seen each other for many years, and they were both very excited. They immediately brought up the marriage.

According to the order of seniority, it should have been her cousin, Xia Zilin, who married into the Zhan family, but Xia Zilin disliked the fact that the Zhan family was from the countryside.

Coincidentally, when Zhan Chengyan’s grandfather came that day, he was wearing old Tang-style clothes. Xia Zilin rolled her eyes on the spot and refused to marry.

Xia Nanxi wasn’t interested in love and marriage, and she was afraid that her grandfather would be embarrassed, so she agreed to marry into the Zhan family.

Unexpectedly, Xia Zilin, who was arrogant and proud, actually found a rich man. Her aunt was clearly here to show off.

Cai Guixiang continued, with a heavy heart, “Our Linlin is going to enjoy a good life. It’s just that poor Xixi, you’ve been married for half a year, and you haven’t even seen the face of that poor boy from the Zhan family. I heard he has three older brothers. In the future, you won’t be able to rely on your in-laws for either manpower or money.

Oh, what am I thinking! Your in-laws are all country people. Maybe they’ll need you to support them. Our Linlin is blessed. Before she even got married, her mother-in-law bought her a BMW and gave her a dowry of 500,000 yuan. The 160-square-meter wedding house is about to start renovation. Linlin married well, and I, her mother, can finally rest assured.”
