Soft temptation

Lou Ruan was holding hands, and the confusion in his eyes disappeared in a flash.

Although he was used to being treated coldly, it was the first time that someone held his hand firmly at such a time.

"Aunt Huang, I'm getting married." Lou Ruan stood under the dappled light, with deep and shallow glints reflected in her clear black eyes, "Today I brought my fiancé here to show my mother."

-

Xu's living room.

The freshly ground coffee was placed in front of Xie Yanli and Lou Ruan, and the mellow aroma gradually permeated.

Mrs. Xu was wearing a retro green long dress, her slightly curly long hair was draped behind her head, and her well-maintained face was indifferent. She put down the coffee in her hand and did not take a second look at the thank you banquet. On Lou Ruan, "Want to get married?"

Xu Xuze was sitting beside her, and the man who was still like a hedgehog in the police station seemed to be wilting, sitting quietly beside her, without saying a word.

The surrounding air seemed to become heavy and oppressive, making it hard to breathe.

Lou Ruan sat beside Xie Yanli, nodded lightly, "Yeah."

The woman in a long green dress glanced at Xie Yanli for no more than two seconds before she nodded again, "I've seen him before, let's get it over with."

She didn't even ask what his name was.

Xu Xuze, who kept shrinking his head and saying nothing, finally couldn't help it, frowned and shouted, "Mom!"

The woman turned her head and looked over, her hand with the huge ruby ​​ring casually brushed her hair, her well-maintained face still looked calm, "What are you doing?"

After she looked over, Xu Xuze seemed to be cowed again, lowered his head, and whispered, "At least ask him what his name is, how old he is this year, what school he graduated from, where he lives, how many people are in his family, and what job he is doing now. How is the financial situation, whether there are any debts, how is the physical condition, how long have they known each other, when do they plan to get married, where will they get married, dowry..."

As he spoke, his voice became smaller and smaller.

Mrs. Xu, who was sitting next to him, had already picked up the coffee cup she had just put down. She lowered her eyes and took a sip. Rose red lipstick was left on the coffee cup, "No need."

Xu Xuze looked at her and wondered why they didn't need it. Aren't these the most basic?

At least you need to know what's going on in the other party's family. Why don't you use such a big thing as marriage?

She didn't take a second look at Xie Yanli and Lou Ruan, but turned to look at the servant waiting at the side, "Go to my dressing table and get that red box."

"Yes, ma'am."

Sitting there, Xie Yanli's expression gradually faded.

The coffee in front of him was fragrant, but he had no desire to touch it at all.

The servant quickly took the box Mrs. Xu asked for and handed it to her.

The woman opened some old velvet boxes, took out a bank card from it, and pushed the card in front of Lou Ruan, "This is the dowry your parents left you."

The box was also pushed over, and there was a set of topaz jewelry in it. The diamonds were of good quality, but the style looked old.

"This is your mother's too, and I will return it to you now."

Xu Xuze looked at the things on the table and pursed his lips.

Lou Ruan looked at the jewelry set and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but before he could say anything, the woman opposite clapped his hands and stood up, "Go back, I won't go to the wedding, after It may take a while to go on vacation abroad for a few days."

Xu Xuze couldn't help it again: "Mom! What are you doing, it's okay to do this normally, how can you..."

"Then you go." The woman stood in front of the coffee table and sofa, looked down at Xu Xuze, and left without looking at Lou Ruan and the others.
