Shen Jianian's eyes didn't stay on her for too long, and she walked straight forward. When they passed each other, there was a distance of more than one meter between them. She heard the second lady of the Xu family sneered coldly: "Unlucky."
As he got into the car, Shen Jianian's mind suddenly flashed back to what the second young lady of the Xu family had said in the box that day.
——Did you know that my sister will return to China soon? Her things have been sent back from abroad.
The second young lady of the Xu family appeared at the airport. It was unclear whether she was traveling or picking up someone.
Shen Jianian looked at the scenery outside the window for a while, then looked away, took out his mobile phone and called Yan Qiusheng, asking which hospital Yan's mother was staying in, and then told the driver not to go home yet, but to take a detour to the hospital.
Shortly after she left, Xu Jingyi received Xu Youxuan who returned from the United States.
Among the endless crowds of people coming and going, the two sisters attracted the most attention.
Both of them are beautiful in appearance. Judging from their clothing, one is lively and vigorous, the other is gentle and elegant.
Xu Youxuan wore a long blue skirt, which reached her ankles. The silk material was elegant and flexible. The temperature was not high, so she wore a long knitted sweater outside her skirt. It was a light blue with a lower saturation. Her long straight black hair was scattered behind her, gentle and elegant.
Two tender white hands held the handle of the luggage trolley and pushed it forward. There were two large silver-gray suitcases stacked on top of each other on the trolley, giving the impression of being quiet but not weak.
Xu Jingyi held her arm, her eyes filled with excitement, and she rubbed her shoulder affectionately with her cheek: "Sister, you are finally back! I miss you so much. If you don't come back, I will fly to the United States. Looking for you!"
The housekeeper who came with Xu Jingyi took the luggage cart and followed the two ladies.
Xu Youxuan put her arms around her younger sister's shoulders and smiled with a slight dimple on her cheek: "I heard from my mother that you went to college and were away from home every day. I don't know how happy you are."
"No way!" Xu Jingyi pouted, acting coquettishly.
The two sisters walked out. Xu Jingyi's face suddenly turned ugly when she thought of the scene just now. She couldn't help complaining to Xu Youxuan: "I saw the little green tea that Brother Ji Chen kept when I first arrived at the airport. It's really enough."
"Who are you talking about?"
"I told you last time on the phone, have you forgotten?" Xu Jingyi said angrily, "Brother Ji Chen was eating with a girl in a Western restaurant and I caught him."
Xu Youxuan remembered that when her sister called her, she was busy with other things and didn't listen too carefully.
"Don't talk about her like that, she might be a serious person." Xu Youxuan stroked her sister's head and taught her softly, "It's not polite."
Xu Jingyi pursed her lips even higher, saying, "Aren't you sad? Brother Ji Chen is your fiancé! He is getting involved with other women now, where does he put you? I'm here I will fight for you."
Mentioning Fu Jichen, Xu Youxuan looked unnatural: "The two families have made countless jokes casually. Don't call me 'fiancé' anymore. People will laugh if they hear it."
Xu Jingyi's eyes widened and she touched her forehead. Why did her sister change so much after studying abroad?
"Are you still the sister I know?" Xu Jingyi murmured.
Xu Youxuan was amused by her and pinched her cheek with her hand: "Why not?"
In fact, the last time she met Fu Jichen was when she was fifteen or sixteen years old. At a family gathering between her two families, her impression of Fu Jichen was that he was cold and deep. After that, Fu Jichen went abroad to study, and the two had no chance to meet. Then she also went abroad. She was busy with her studies and rarely came back. Every time she came home during the holidays, she heard her parents mention him and how young and promising he was, but she herself had no feelings for him. , and also knew that the family intended to bring the two of them together, but they had no control over their relationship.
She has a boyfriend now, and she doesn't want to have anything to do with Fu Jichen.
But her parents didn't know yet, and she didn't dare to tell them.
Every step she took from childhood to adulthood was in accordance with the plans made by her family. They encouraged her to become one of the best ladies in the circle. She did not disappoint her elders. She has always had excellent grades and was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Understand etiquette and general knowledge.
When the upper class mentions the word "socialite", she, Xu Youxuan, must be among them.
Only when it comes to love, she doesn't want to follow their wishes and marry a man she doesn't love, be trapped in a big house, and be a puppet for her husband and child for the rest of her life.
If there is a woman around Fu Jichen, it will be a good thing for her.
Returning to the Xu family villa, Xu Youxuan greeted all the elders in the family one by one, dragged her tired body upstairs, and rested in the boudoir that had been tidied up.
After she took a shower, she sat on the bed and made a video call to her boyfriend.
Her boyfriend, four years older than her, works as an engineer at an American car manufacturing company. After she graduated, she followed her family's request and returned to China. In order to prevent this relationship from turning into a foreign relationship, he changed his career plan and planned to return to China for development.
Three days ago, he submitted his resignation application to the company. It would take a certain amount of time to hand over the job, so he did not come back with her.
His resume is very good, and he has received several offers before he returns to China.
"I just got home and I'm resting in the room now. Well, I'm a little tired from the long flight, but it's okay. When will you come back? Have you booked your flight ticket..."
Xu Youxuan had a sweet and happy smile on her face. When Xu Jingyi opened the door and came in, she was frightened and put her phone upside down on the sheets in a panic.
Seeing that the person who came in was her sister, not her mother, she breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Close the door." Xu Youxuan covered her chest, her heart beating very fast, and she was a little shocked.
Xu Jingyi closed the door in a daze, holding food in her hand: "Mom asked you to eat something before going to bed." She looked at her sister's guilty look and asked hesitantly, "I just seemed to hear you talking to someone. Men speak.”
Before the video call was hung up, a man's voice came from the mobile phone at this moment: "Youxuan, what's wrong? Is the signal not good?"
Xu Youxuan picked up the mobile phone on the bed, adjusted the angle and pointed it at her face, pursed her lips and smiled: "It's okay, it's my sister who came over suddenly. Let's talk next time."
Listening to the man gently calling her sister "Youxuan", Xu Jingyi walked over slowly and put the food on the bedside table. With a confused expression on her face, she looked at her sister and asked, "Who is he? "
That kind of intimate tone couldn't be that of ordinary friends.
Seeing that he couldn't hide it from her, Xu Youxuan simply admitted it generously: "He is my boyfriend who is working as a diplomat in China. I will introduce him to you when he returns to China."
Xu Jingyi was frightened by her words: "You said you had a boyfriend?!"
"Don't tell mom for now, I will find a way to have a good talk with her." Xu Youxuan pursed her lips and said carefully, "I don't want to marry Fu Jichen."
"Mom will not agree." Xu Jingyi's features wrinkled together, and now she began to worry about her, "Even if your mother feels sorry for you and is willing to stand by your side, don't forget that you still have your father and grandparents. Grandpa yesterday In the afternoon, I drank tea and listened to a play with the old man from the Fu family, and we talked about you and Brother Ji Chen. When grandpa came back, he said that the two families would sit together to discuss the engagement date and banquet preparations another day. "
Xu Youxuan's expression was dull.
It turned out that after confirming the date for her return to China, the family was already preparing for the marriage of the Fu and Xu families.
Although she was a party involved, in their eyes, she was just a person who needed to be notified.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Jia Nian came out of the hospital after visiting the patient and took the car back to Yunding Palace Garden.
On the way, I received a call from Bai Changxia.
"Jianian, Pei Che's father passed away. Just now, the hospital issued a death notice."
Shen Jia Nian was in a daze after hearing this. Although she had known for a long time that Pei Fengnan would die soon, when she actually heard the news, she still found it difficult to accept it.
Now only Zhou Ruo is left in the Pei family, a lonely and helpless woman.
Suddenly, the car suddenly stopped on the side of the road. Shen Jia Nian was carried forward by the inertia, and his body almost hit the back of the seat in front. He heard the driver yelling: "If you dare to block the car, you will risk your life!"
Shen Jianian raised his head, brushed the hair from his face, and saw through the windshield that the person blocking the car was his uncle, Yin Chengde, whom he had not seen for a long time.
He was wearing a dark brown jacket with a gray sweater underneath. He had thick hair on his temples and a few more wrinkles on his face. He looked much older than before.
Yin Chengde walked to the car window and clapped his hands: "Jianian, I know you are in the car. I have something to ask you."
