Chapter 379 Comparison
Seeing that Mr. Jiang didn't say anything, Shi Shuihua thought that he was jealous, so she pretended to be modest and said, "In fact, my grandsons are not that outstanding. They are still inferior to many people. Don't take it too seriously, cousin. Oh, by the way, I heard that Haoming's daughter came back from the countryside. Where is she? She must be shy and afraid to go out and see people, right? But it's true that children from small places are not as outstanding as those from big cities. I understand that they are a little cowardly!"
Old Master Jiang was so furious that he almost exploded, but he was the host today, and he couldn't get angry in front of so many relatives and friends, so he could only swallow his anger.
Just when he was feeling extremely depressed, he saw his daughter-in-law Hao Mengjiao coming in, and he quickly waved to her to come over.
When Hao Mengjiao saw Shi Shuihua sitting next to her, she immediately understood why her father-in-law's face was so dark.
So I smiled and walked over to say hello: "Hello, cousin, it's been such a long time since we last met. You look much more energetic."
Shi Shuihua smiled happily and was in a good mood. She replied, "Good. I am in a good mood, so I am naturally healthy. My son and daughter-in-law are doing well in their jobs, and my grandchildren are also doing well. They are all very promising. I am satisfied. By the way, I heard that your daughter came back from the countryside. Why don't you see her?"
Seeing that she was always looking for Xirou, Hao Mengjiao knew what she was thinking. She obviously wanted to show off her grandchildren, but had no one to serve as a foil, so she wanted to let her daughter come out for comparison.
Hao Mengjiao was waiting for her to do this, and said with a smile: "Cousin, please sit down first. I will go over and call my daughter. She is at her adoptive parents' house in the villa next door."
After saying that, he walked over quickly.
When Shi Shuihua heard that Xirou's adoptive parents actually lived in the villa next door, her face immediately turned pale. She couldn't hold it in for a long time and said unhappily, "Cousin, I'm not saying anything bad about you. Although the adoptive parents have raised your granddaughter, you can't let them ask for repayment. You're a country boy, and you bought them such an expensive villa to live in. Be careful that they're eyeing your property."
When the other relatives heard this, they immediately sneered at the behavior of Xirou's adoptive parents, showing a look of disgust, and also tried to persuade Grandpa Jiang.
Soon, Xirou became an illiterate, greedy country girl in their mouths.
Shi Shuihua would often bring up her grandchildren, with her pride and pride clearly visible on her face.
Although Chen Kai had never met Xi Rou, after hearing everyone's discussion, he suddenly felt more contempt for this cousin he had never met. He thought that he would definitely try to persuade her when he saw her later.
When Chen Xin heard that Xi Rou was found in the countryside, an image of a dark and fat country girl came to his mind. No wonder she was not seen when he entered the house. He must have known that she was ugly and did not dare to come out to see people.
Old Master Jiang listened to everyone's discussion and his face turned so dark that ink seemed to be dripping out.
Just when he was about to refute, Xi Rou, holding Xi Yunzhou, floated in like a fairy.
She had a delicate face, fair skin, smiling eyes, and was wearing the most popular skirt and high heels. She walked with an elegant posture and attracted everyone's attention as soon as she entered the door.
The cute baby in a small suit in her arms is like a pendant on her body. Not only does it not make people feel any sense of incongruity, it also feels quite warm.
Chen Kai's eyes widened like cow eyes. Whose girl is this? She is so pretty. He has never seen such a beautiful girl in his life.
Chen Xin was feeling bored just now, but when he saw Xirou come in, his eyes suddenly brightened up and his eyes were fixed on Xirou.
Oh my goodness, if I were as pretty as this girl, I would have been famous a long time ago!
Shi Shuihua thought Xi Rou was someone's daughter-in-law, and said with a smile: "Whose daughter-in-law is this? She is so pretty. What a pity, she got married and had a child."
Relatives also expressed their regret, asking how such a beautiful girl, who didn't look that young, could get married and have children.
Xirou didn't know what everyone was thinking, so she walked up to Grandpa Jiang and said with a smile, "Grandpa, Mom said, you're looking for me?"
The moment Mr. Jiang saw his granddaughter, his gloomy mood disappeared and he said happily: "Yes, yes, come and meet our Chen family's relatives. This is your great aunt, this is your cousin Chen Kai, and your cousin Chen Xin. And this is..."
Xirou smiled and greeted generously: "Hello, cousin, aunt! Hello, cousins! ......"
Shi Shuihua was extremely shocked when she heard Xirou calling her cousin aunt. This girl turned out to be the granddaughter of the Jiang family. She was so beautiful!
When Chen Kai learned that this was Jiang's cousin, he actually felt a little disappointed.
He is 24 years old and has never had a boyfriend. It’s not that there are no girls who like him, but that his standards are too high and he feels that ordinary girls are not worthy of such an outstanding person like him.
When he saw Xirou just now, his heart was moved and he even thought about striking up a conversation with her, but he never expected that this pretty girl was actually the country girl they had just despised.
He took one look at the impeccably beautiful Xirou and felt a pity in his heart. If she was so beautiful and had some education, she wouldn't have married and had children so early. It was such a waste of a gift!
It's just a vase. My great uncle seems to treasure it so much. I don't know what's so happy about it.
Chen Xin originally thought Xi Rou was ugly, but now seeing how beautiful she was, she was surprised and said, "Is this my cousin? She's so beautiful!"
Everyone agreed and praised Xirou for her beauty.
Shi Shuihua disagreed and said in a sour tone: "What's the use of being pretty? People still need to study more. Unlike us Kaikai, who graduated from university and is still working in a research institute."
When Xirou heard that Chen Kai worked in a research institute, she had more respect for her cousin and looked at him a few more times. However, this admiration only lasted for 2 seconds and was quickly worn away by Chen Kai's words.
"Cousin, you look only 17 or 8 years old this year, right? How come you got married and had children at such a young age? Have you been to school? Maybe you came from the countryside and don't know the importance of knowledge, but now that you have been found, you still have to read more books, otherwise you will be laughed at for being illiterate. The Jiang family is a big family, and as a daughter of the Jiang family, you can't bring shame to the Jiang family!" Chen Kai advised meaningfully.
Xirou's smile froze on her face: What the hell? You actually look down on me?
"Yes, in order to dress beautifully, you also need to have ink in your head!" Chen Xin agreed.
Xi Rou rolled her eyes at the two of them. She simply didn't want to talk to such people, but they had already said that she had brought discredit to the Jiang family. If she didn't say something, she would really be treated as a soft persimmon.
"Thank you for your teaching, cousin. Xirou is 18 years old this year. She is very pretty and everyone likes her very much. My cousin is right, knowledge is really important. My adoptive parents have paid great attention to my training in this area since I was young. Although I haven't read much, I haven't read less than others. I am currently studying at Peking University and will be a junior in September this year!" Xirou said with a smile.
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Oh my God, this beautiful girl is actually a student of Peking University. She is truly a child of the Jiang family. She is beautiful and also very good at studying.
