The scene was silent for a while.

After a while, I saw a servant knocking on the door, saying that a woman who claimed to be Xiao Wei's mother was knocking on the door.

Hearing this, Zhan Xiaocheng turned his head to look at Xiao Wei, and smiled coldly: "No wonder Xiao Yiling wants to kill you so much, as expected, you are a ruthless character."

"Where is it, you and I are both from a wealthy family, so you must have some means of protecting yourself, otherwise how can you survive in a wealthy family?"

Xiao Xi let out a breath, and his mood became stable.

Zhan Xiaocheng couldn't help but pay attention to Xiao Wei, but just ordered the servant to let Xiao Wei's mother come in.

Both Wen Mingyue and Hua Ruoxue stared at Xiao Wei angrily. Obviously, they hated this scheming girl who wanted to marry into the Zhan family.

Xiao Wei felt such hostile gazes, but she didn't care.

As long as she convinces Zhan Xiaocheng, as long as Zhan Xiaocheng nods, what are Wen Mingyue and Hua Ruoxue?
But they are all grasshoppers after autumn, and they can't jump for a few days.

Not long after, there were footsteps outside, and then the door was pushed open, and a thin woman came in.

This woman seemed to have been carefully maintained, but it seemed that she hadn't maintained it well, so the face was a bit weird, stiff and distorted.

Seeing the blood on Xiao Xi's face, the woman didn't even frown, or even change her mood.

She went straight to Wen Mingyue, nodded and smiled at her.

"Hi, old lady, my name is Xu Yan, and I'm Xiao Wei's mother. I received a notice from Xiao Wei just now that she came to Zhan's house as a guest. No, I'm afraid that this child doesn't understand the rules and make a joke, so I just said Hurry over here."

Having said that, she looked at Xiao Wei.

"Looking at her posture, she made a mistake, right?"

Wen Mingyue didn't speak, but Xu Yan said to herself: "Since she made a mistake, it's normal to be punished. I understand, I understand. The rules of our wealthy family should be stricter, and we can't just because she is the future of Xiaocheng. wife breaks the rules."

Look, this was spoken smoothly, and in a few words, the so-called marriage contract was mentioned again.

"I heard, what token do you have in your hand? And it's a token that none of our Zhan family can refuse?"

Wen Mingyue finally spoke, eyes full of boredom.

Both the mother and daughter are not good at dealing with each other, especially this Xu Yan, who is so cruel that she doesn't change face when facing her blood-stained daughter, it's hard to deal with.

Hearing this, Xu Yan looked at Xiao Wei.

"What? Didn't you show Mr. Zhan the engagement contract?"

Xiao Xi pointed to the pile of scraps of paper on the ground and said, "No, they didn't believe it, so they tore it up."

"Yes, I don't believe this matter. After all, it happened many years ago. After all, the person who made the contract back then is no longer alive. When I hear this suddenly, who can be mentally prepared and understand, I understand. "

Xu Yan said with a smile, the expression on her face was always calm.

She glared at Xiao Wei again and said, "You're an idiot too, can't you explain it clearly before taking out the contract? If I didn't have a token in my hand, you wouldn't be able to explain clearly even if you had a hundred mouths!"

Xiao Xi opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.

"There's no need to act here, just take out any tokens you have."

Zhan Xiaocheng didn't have the patience to watch Xu Yan's mother and daughter act, it was already midnight, and he had to get up early tomorrow morning to go to Feng's house to send his son and daughter to kindergarten!

Hearing this, Xu Yan smiled and said, "Sure enough, he is a well-known figure in Beicheng, and he is straightforward in his work!"

She looked at Zhan Xiaocheng and said: "Xiao Wei will marry you in the future, and you will probably eat him to death. Hey, but I have always been open-minded and will not interfere with the marriage of children. As long as she wants, I will No comment."

"Xu Yan!"

Hua Ruoxue snapped, "Why are you so sure that my son will marry your daughter? I can tell you today that I, the mother, will be the first to disagree with this marriage!"

"is it?"

Xu Yan looked at Hua Ruoxue and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that this marriage is not up to you, nor is it up to you, the mistress of the Zhan family who just entered the door. After all, it is up to the previous generation. As the younger generation, Only obedience."

After finishing speaking, Xu Yan lowered her head and took out a small box from her bag.

The small box is an antique sandalwood box, the workmanship and carving are very exquisite, and there is an opal inlaid on it, which looks very old.

Just seeing the box, Wen Mingyue's expression changed.

She was very familiar with that sandalwood box, there was one on the dressing table in her bedroom, it turned out that the sandalwood box was a pair!
Many years ago, a lost...

Xu Yan glanced at Wen Mingyue, she smiled, walked up to her and opened the sandalwood box.

"The things inside here must be familiar to you, old lady, right?"

Wen Mingyue followed Xu Yan's hand and looked down. When she saw the wood carving in the box that was mottled with time, her eyes widened.

"This... where did you find this!"

Hua Ruoxue and Zhan Xiaocheng also looked, they looked at the exquisite and lifelike wooden statue, and they both looked at Wen Mingyue at the same time.

"Grandma, do you know this thing?"

Zhan Xiaocheng frowned and looked at the wooden statue. It was a statue of a man with a somewhat... familiar face.

"The old lady must know this thing, after all, this is a work carved by you, isn't it?"

Xu Yan smiled, her eyes were extraordinarily calm.

These words shocked Hua Ruoxue even more.

"Nonsense! The old lady doesn't know how to carve wood at all, how can there be a work carved by herself, and it happens to be in your hands?"

Xu Yan raised her eyebrows and said: "Really? But when the old man of the Zhan family gave this token to my father-in-law, he made a special trip to say that it was carved by his wife himself. A pair, this is a male statue, and the Zhan family also has a female statue." Like, it's in your hands, old lady."

Having said that, Xu Yan looked at Wen Mingyue.

"I'm not wrong, am I?"

After a long time, Wen Mingyue finally raised her head. She looked at Zhan Xiaocheng and Hua Ruoxue, and nodded with difficulty.

"This statue was indeed carved by myself. When I got engaged, I carved a pair of little people by myself as a dowry."

Staring at the puppet in Xu Yan's hand, Wen Mingyue's voice was slightly hoarse.

"The little figure in her hand is one of them. This is my token of love for your grandfather."

Hearing this, Hua Ruoxue's face changed slightly.

"Then why is such a precious thing in their hands?"

Wen Mingyue also looked at Xu Yan, her voice hoarse: "I also want to know, why is this little puppet in your hands?"

"Of course it's an engagement token given by the old man of the Zhan family. When he negotiated with my father-in-law about the two marriages, in order to express his sincerity, he specially left the things he carried with him and left a piece of marriage contract. There is no way for the family to deny it."

Xu Yan said slowly, her tone full of complacency.

Zhan Xiaocheng stood up, said with a sneer: "Then what if we just don't recognize this so-called engagement? What can you do?"

Xu Yan smiled and pointed to the necklace around her neck.

"I happen to know a few journalist friends. They have heard all the content of our conversation just now. If there is no accident, the topic of marriage between the Zhan family and the Xiao family has already rushed to the hot search."
