The next morning, the carriage soon arrived at Fang's house.
Although Xiao Bing had been here several times and even lived here for a year when he was young, this time he came with a different identity.
The Fang family's villa, which actually occupies a small area of land, is a three-story small building with a classical elegance. From afar, one can see the purple gauze curtains on the balcony and windows fluttering in the morning breeze.
When she arrived at the gate, Meng Qianqian had already come out to greet her. She slowed down her pace when she reached the gate, opened the door and let the car in slowly. Fang Xin drove inside but didn't go straight to the garage or open the car door.
Xiao Bing got off the car, smiling brightly like a spring breeze, with a white bow tie on her chest. At this time, she was a bit shy and lowered her head, calling out: "Mom!"
Meng Qianqian couldn't help but smile as soon as she saw the eighteen beauties, and when she heard that one word "mom", she laughed so hard her eyes were closed.
"We're all family now, come on in!"
Fang Xinye got out of the car. At this time, the two cars behind opened up, and the secretary and driver took out the four-color gifts.
Of course, this is not an engagement, if it were an engagement, then it wouldn't be just a simple ceremony like this, that would be a grand union of two families. But for now, it's just to take a look, and it's enough to formally meet as her son's girlfriend.
As soon as the next person went inside, they passed through the door and entered the inner hall, then walked through another inner door.
Inside the inner gate was a small parlor, where two men were playing chess. Upon hearing the sound, they both looked up, and Xiao Bing smiled slightly as he walked forward: "Dad!"
Although he had mentally prepared himself the day before, this one word "Dad" still shocked Fang Xin's father, Fang Jing Tian, and he hastily got up: "Ah, why didn't you let me come out to welcome him?"
"Dad, come and pick me up. How can I bear it." The second voice, Xiao Bing immediately adapted, laughing and saying.
Traditionally, who should come to welcome the bride? Shouldn't it be the bride who greets them?
Just then, the cat from Fang's house meowed and pounced on its master's feet. Fang Xin picked it up, holding it in mid-air, stroking it a few times.
"Sit down!" Meng Qianqian hastily said.
The person playing chess with Fang Jing Tian, looked about thirty years old, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, had a pale complexion, and sat there with an air of arrogance, but at this time, he was also intimidated by Xiao Bing's beauty, and his eyes flashed with a few unusual colors.
The secretary and driver then presented a four-color gift box. Then they quietly retreated, this was no longer a place where outsiders could intervene.
The four-color gift box was originally used when the emperor's girlfriend visited for the first time, so Fang's parents didn't decline. At this time, they specially invited a servant (or a relative if there were no servants) to bring tea, and Xiao Bing took a sip before putting it down. Meng Qianqian immediately took out a jade bracelet and personally put it on Xiao Bing. This was a return gift in the etiquette, usually indicating that the man's parents were satisfied, not an actual object, but a gift of money - specially taken from the bank to give as a gift, with its own rules.
The beauty stretched out her hand, slender and white like jade, wearing a jade bangle that made it even more radiant. At this time, Xiao Bing glanced at Fang Yan with a sideways glance, her pretty face flushed with red clouds, her eyes shining brightly, and her gaze flowing back and forth, almost hooking out Fang Xin's soul.
The place where she sat, happened to have sunlight shining on her, and a faint glow enveloped her skin. Although Fang Xiner was a man of the world, when faced with such a beautiful girl who seemed almost like a heavenly maiden, he couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder in his heart. The air also carried a hint of an unusual, subtle fragrance.
"Who is this?" At this time, the shocked man finally spoke up, staring at Xiao Bing without blinking, as if he had already been captivated by her beauty.
Xiao Bing turned her head politely but coldly and didn't say a word.
Meng Qianqian smiled and said: "Assistant Fang, this is my son's girlfriend Xiao Bing."
Xiao Bing? The name sounds familiar, and the face looks somewhat familiar too. That person looked puzzled, stretched out his hand: "Hello, Miss Xiao, I am Fang Shi Group's Di Yi."
"Nice to meet you, I'm Xiao Bing." Xiao Bing just slightly nodded and immediately pulled her hand back, then her gaze flowed, turning on Fang Xin's face for a moment, before speaking to Meng Tian Tian: "Mom, why isn't my sister here?"
Of course, it's Fang Xindi's sister Fang Shixin.
Upon hearing this sentence, Fang Xin suddenly remembered that he still had a younger sister and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
"I'm going out to play with my classmates and will be back at noon. You sit down, I'll go cook some home-style dishes." Meng Qianqian said.
Xiao Bing smiled, and the feeling of spring breeze slowly rippled through the hearts of those present: "Mom, I'll go with you, no one knows a child better than their mother. I want to learn some dishes he likes!"
Meng Qianqian's mouth was stretched so wide that it couldn't close, and she didn't care about etiquette anymore. She laughed and said, "Great, let's go together."
Xiao Bing got up, and as she passed by Fang Xin's side, a strange fragrance wafted over him. A few strands of her black hair brushed against his face, sending shivers down his spine. His heart felt like it was floating on cloud nine. Watching the beauty leave, Fang Xin suddenly lost himself for an instant, but he quickly snapped back to reality. Looking at her smiling face, he couldn't help but laugh and feel a little annoyed: "We're family now, do you have to use your enchanting techniques to boost my affection towards our parents?"
That subtle fluctuation just now, although extremely obscure and almost merged in the conversation, was immediately captured by Yu Ruyi. If Fang Xin hadn't reacted quickly and suppressed Yu Ruyi's counterattack, Xiao Bing would have suffered a loss as well.
However, watching her figure follow her mother into the kitchen, leaving behind some crisp laughter, also involuntarily surged a warm current in my heart, after all, her intention was to gain recognition.
With hands clasped together and sitting upright, although the sunlight was bright, it had been filtered to a comfortable intensity and was surrounded by cool air, yet not piercing to the eyes. Fang Xin's mood gradually calmed down as he sipped his tea.
At this time, Fang Yi on the opposite side finally woke up, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
Having past life experience and being a leader, Fang Xin saw this cold intention and also sneered in his heart.
Xiao Bing's stunning beauty. When men see her, they naturally have some thoughts. Men who are used to killing and taking, even more so, will directly have the thought of snatching her away - Fang Xin is all too familiar with the thoughts and logic of those in power.
However, everything is about strength, and the Xiao family's power is still one level higher than the Fang family. Can he hurt Xiao Bing in the slightest? However, when it comes to taking action against himself, there is a possibility, but as of today, Fang Xin is not afraid either.
"I didn't expect your son to have a girlfriend like that while still in school, won't it affect his studies? During the school period, learning should be the main priority, and only after laying the foundation can he develop other things!" Fang Yi coughed slightly and said to Fang Father.
"Reading can be done anytime, but a girlfriend may not be found again later. I support my son to fall in love first and then read books, haha." Fang Jing Tian chuckled: "Let's continue the chess game, I'm going to win this round."
With a distracted mind, Fang Yi suddenly took a few steps back, his face changing in an instant. As if he had remembered something, he spilled some water from the cup in front of him: "Xiao Bing, is it Xiao Bing from the Yun Meng Xiao family?"
"Little brother, you finally understand now! It's that Xiao Bing from the Xiao family, so I support my son!"
Fang Xin had long been prepared and was carefully savoring the moment, and indeed. Upon hearing this response, Fang Yi's face changed repeatedly, shocked. Astonished, jealous, and even resentful, all of which disappeared in an instant, restoring his usual elegant demeanor. However, this did not escape Ling Jue's notice, who had already sensed something was amiss with Fang Xin.
"Unbelievable, unbelievable, I'm so impressed!" Fang Yi seemed to have no other reaction at this time, only his face turned a bit pale, and everything else returned to normal: "Having such an excellent girlfriend, why not say something about it? How did you meet her? Would the Xiao family agree?"
"There's nothing, she and I grew up together, so naturally she became my girlfriend. Dad, why has the sky turned dark again? It's another rain shower. I'll go out for a bit to see if my sister is back." Fang Xin didn't want to continue watching, so he slightly bowed his head and left.
Summer is indeed rainy, and in just three minutes, the heavy rain turned the entire city into a vast expanse of water, with a layer of water already forming on the ground. Raindrops pounded down, creating millions of crystal flowers that bloomed and vanished simultaneously, making a splashing sound.
It seems like it's just in time, another car came to the door, and two girls rushed down from the car. They quickly rushed up the steps, but with this distance, both of them were already wet.
In the summer, clothes are originally thin, and when they get wet, they stick to their bodies. The two girls' figures are clearly visible. Fang Xin can't help but frown, scolding: "Why didn't you bring an umbrella on your way back? Hurry up and change your clothes in the house!"
Fang Shixin suddenly realized that there was a young man on the stairs. He took a look and immediately rushed up: "Brother, when did you come back?"
"Ah, don't get too familiar with me, I came back with Xiao Bing, you should hurry up and change into new clothes, take your friend along."
"Oh, this is my friend He Rui. Ah, Xiao Jie also came? Let's change clothes quickly and go talk to her!" Fang Shi Xin stuck out her tongue and hurriedly pulled He Rui back to her bedroom.
He Ru seemed a bit embarrassed and followed up, but turned back to look at Fang Xin again.
Actually, the heavy rain didn't last long, twenty minutes later, the rain turned small, but still drizzled down, the cool air rushed into the house, instantly making people feel refreshed. In the kitchen, there were chirping sounds everywhere, and of course, who else could make such a sound besides Fang Shi Xin?
At fourteen years old, he was still like a child. Thinking of this, Fang Xin was shocked - when did his mindset change? Fourteen years old is still a kid, after all!
The rain was quietly washing away, the sound of the wind and rain was faintly audible. Xiao Bing, wearing an apron, brought in the dishes and placed them on the small living room table. Including the guests, there were only six people, just enough to sit down.
The dishes were a total of eight dishes and two soups, and as soon as they were served, Father Fang brought the people in.
The small door was not closed, and the aroma of food wafted in from the outer hall, accompanied by the sound of sizzling and the rhythm of cooking. As he caught sight of Xiao Bing carrying dishes into the room, Fang Xin suddenly felt a warmth that seemed to emanate from within - this must be what home feels like!
After finishing the meal, she poured wine for Fang's father and mother again, which seemed like a ritual, and both of them smiled in response.
"How dare I, how could I trouble you?" It was Fang Yi's turn, but he stood up and said.
Xiao Bing just smiled politely and didn't respond to his words, since he was a guest. After a few attempts at declining, she still poured him a drink. She had seen too much of what was on his mind, and after finishing pouring, she let out a sigh of relief.
She then lowered her head and asked Fang Xin: "Will you have some ice leaf wine today?"
A gentle voice can drive someone crazy.
"Alright!" Fang Xin replied, saying so.
She smiled with pursed lips, her slender hands pouring wine for him like silk flowing into the cup until it was half full. At this point, Fang Xin took over the bottle and said: "You have some too, sit down first!"
Xiao Bing took off her apron, smoothed out her hair and sat down beside Fang Xin. She watched as he poured wine for her, their eyes locking in a romantic gaze. Especially Xiao Bing, seemed to be affected by the family dinner atmosphere, her eyes misty like water. After finishing pouring, she went to toast with Fang's parents, after toasting, Xiao Bing ignored the guests again and touched glasses with Fang Xin, each taking a sip on their own.
Watching the two being so intimate, Fang's father and mother were both very pleased. Fang Shixin was slightly unhappy, instinctively feeling that his brother had been taken away from him. He Ru didn't expect to run into this family dinner and felt a bit awkward, but also couldn't help gazing at the two with envy, her eyes shining brightly.
As for Fang Yi, the flames of jealousy in his eyes almost burned up. The Xiao family had been succeeded by women for generations, and Xiao Bing's value was truly unmatched. Even princesses might not be able to compare with her.
Even if she can't conquer a country, she can still capture a city. She's so beautiful and yet so gentle. Such an extraordinary beauty, why did this little brat get to take her away?
Sometimes, a deadly feud is formed unintentionally. Logically speaking, what relationship does Xiao Bing have with him? Not to mention girlfriend, even as friends they are not, but just by exchanging this one glance, he immediately formed a deadly feud with Fang Xin.
Some people's mentality is like this, so when there are more people, it becomes a world of its own.
