“But I don’t want to talk to them,”J iang Yuning’s tone was bitter. “Other than scientific research, our family rarely talks about anything else.”
Nian Xi was speechless. What kind of family was this. “That won’t happen. I heard from Uncle Han that in the three years you’ve been away, your parents haven’t been doing much scientific research. The projects in their hands have basically all stopped. They regret not fulfilling their responsibilities as parents. Your family rarely talk about your personal lives. Maybe your parents are like you and don’t really care about people, but you’re their biological child, so they must care about you a lot.”
Jiang Yuning lowered his eyes. He knew this since he knew how he missed his parents during the years he was away. He also felt sorry for them, but he really didn’t know how to talk to them.
“Xixi, you should come back with me.” Jiang Yuning held her hand tightly, “Not only did I go back, but also I brought a wife back. They would definitely be very happy. Not only are our bodies extremely fused, but our souls are also fused. We really don’t need to care too much about this.”
Nian Xi’s emotion was like a roller coater.
What do you mean by “souls are fused”? Is it suitable for a scientist to say things like that?
Moreover, there are people around. Is it appropriate for you to say these words?
She felt the gazes of Lei Yichen and the others on the side sweeping over, and her face burned.
Lei Yichen said with a face full of admiration, “Professor Jiang is indeed knowledgeable. He speaks in a certain way. I believe that it won’t be long before we’ll be able to attend your child’s birthday party.”
“Get lost.” Nian Xi kicked him in anger.
Jiang Yuning didn’t hear her teasing and nodded with a smile. “Okay, I’ll work hard.”
Everyone laughed.
Nian Xi was so embarrassed that she stepped on Jiang Yuning a few times. If you don’t speak, no one will treat you as mute.
Jiang Yuning looked innocent after being stepped on.
In the end, Nian Xi couldn’t resist Jiang Yuning’s persuasion and followed him back to the Jiang family.
In the car, Nian Xi took out her makeup bag and started to put one her makeup.
It was not that she was not beautiful, but she had been on the sea for the past two days and had not rested well at all. She looked rather haggard. It was her first time meeting her parents-in-law, so her image could not be too bad.
Jiang Yuning sat silently by the side and watched her put on her makeup. After she put away her makeup bag, he smiled and said, “Xixi, you’re so beautiful, just like a fairy.”
Nian Xi immediately noticed that the police officer in front of her burst into laughter.
“Shut up.” Nian Xi rolled her eyes at Jiang Yuning.
Even if he wanted to praise someone, he could be more careful in choosing his words.
Jiang Yuning silently shut his mouth and looked aggrieved. He did not know what he had done wrong. He was clearly praising her, but he was still scolded.
…
The Jiang family was located in the Western District of Beijing. About fifty minutes later, the car stopped on a small road that was filled with Qing dynasty-style buildings.
Nian Xi looked to the side and saw that the car was parked in front of a rather large courtyard house. She was secretly surprised. Although she knew that Jiang Yuning’s family was quite well-educated, she didn’t expect that they would have such a courtyard house in Beijing, where every inch of land was worth a fortune. Such a courtyard house was usually sold at a sky-high price, and no one would sell it.
She sighed. “Yuning, it looks like you guys have some family background back in the Qing dynasty.”
Jiang Yuning nodded. “I heard from my grandfather that my ancestor was an assistant minister in the imperial court when he was in Qianlong emperor ‘s reign. However, his family slowly declined later. Now, there are only a few people left, and we are the only lineage.”
