“Well,” Meng Ting’s eyes slightly curved when he heard this, and he pulled the hands they held into his arms, and then continued to sit down. But when Ning Zhou and Xiao Huimin stopped looking at him, he immediately leaned against Yan Sui again.
Yan Sui didn’t think anything was wrong. He just adjusted his posture to make Meng Ting more comfortable, just like when they were on the plane.
Ning Zhou and Xiao Huimin turned around to see Meng Ting looking slightly sleepy but said nothing. They had known for a long time that Yan Sui and Meng Ting had a good relationship. As elders, they naturally hoped that the relationship between Yan Sui and Meng Ting could continue like this.
More than an hour later, they arrived at the Xiao family’s old house in Beicheng. Meng Ting, Yan Sui and the others got off the car one after another. There were many people near the door, but Meng Ting didn’t recognize them at all, so he didn’t speak to them. He was being held by Yan Sui. Although he felt a little uncomfortable, but he was not afraid.
Ning Zhou walked up, gently took Meng Ting’s other hand, and introduced to him a few people who had specially come out to see them.
“These are Zilu and Ziyue from your second uncle’s family. They are both older than you.”
Meng Ting nodded when he heard this, “Hello, cousin.”
Xiao Zilu was twenty-four years old, with long hair reaching her waist. She looked very gentle and elegant. Xiao Ziyue, on the other hand, wore bolder clothes. Even in such a cold weather in Beicheng, she still showed a lot of her legs. They looked at Meng Ting and Yan Sui very curiously, and so Ning Zhou introduced them to them.
“This is Nuo Nuo and Yan Sui, your brothers and brother-in-law. It’s very cold. If you have anything to say, let’s talk inside.”
After Ning Zhou introduced them to them, she didn’t intend to delay any longer. She took Meng Ting’s arm and continued walking inside. Yan Sui, who was led by Meng Ting, naturally left with him.
When Xiao Huimin got out of the car last, Xiao Zilu and Xiao Ziyue looked over. Even if they had any objections, they didn’t dare to show it. They just called someone and walked in.
“Eldest brother, second brother,” Meng Ting saw Xiao Ziang and Xiao Zimo. He immediately greeted them. Xiao Zimo often walked around Haicheng recently and would come to Yan house to see Meng Ting when he had time. Xiao Ziang was busier and only occasionally followed Ning Zhou to come over with Xiao Huimin.
However, since Meng Ting had recognized them, he would not treat them differently. In other words, so far, Ning Zhou was the only one in the Xiao family who could make people feel the difference.
“Nuo Nuo, Yan Sui, come in quickly.”
After they said hello, they walked in front to lead the way. They met many servants along the way, but most of them were not qualified to let Ning Zhou introduce them.
“Aunt Chen, are you ready with the ginger tea? Bring it up quickly. Nuo Nuo and Yan Sui both will have a bowl.” Ning Zhou was afraid that Meng Ting would catch a cold accidentally when he arrived in Beicheng for the first time because of the unfavorable weather. So, she prepared coats and also had ginger tea prepared in the kitchen before her departure.
Meng Ting looked at Ning Zhou after hearing this, then as if he was afraid that she would be anxious, he patted the back of her hand gently and said, “Thank you, mom.”
Ning Zhou was still serious one moment, but after hearing Meng Ting’s words, she was like spring flowers blooming the next moment, “Nuo Nuo, be good.”
She took Meng Ting and Yan Sui to sit on the sofa in the living room. After the ginger tea was delivered, she tasted it first, and then brought it to Meng Ting and Yan Sui.
Meng Ting and Yan Sui drank the ginger tea slowly as Ning Zhou said, and the sisters from Xiao family’s second branch also came in.
They were interested in Meng Ting, but it was Yan Sui who obviously caught their attention more. Even though they were across a city, they still knew Yan Sui’s name very well. They often heard the elders mention Yan Sui, and even the protagonist of their gossip at some banquets was all him.
But no matter how interested they were, they knew they couldn’t show it at this moment, otherwise Ning Zhou and Xiao Huimin, the main family, would never let them go, especially Xiao Huimin, this Uncle who they had been particularly wary of since they were children.
“Grandpa is here.” Xiao Ziyue called out immediately when she saw Mr. Xiao being helped out. She hid her body, as if she was a little afraid that Mr. Xiao would notice her wearing this.
The person in the Xiao family who was more terrifying than Xiao Huimin was undoubtedly their grandfather, Mr. Xiao. If they were not really too curious about the new Meng Ting, they would not have thought of returning to their family home so early.
“Grandpa.”
“Dad…”
After various people called, it was Meng Ting and Yan Sui’s turn. Yan Sui was very straightforward. He stood up with Meng Ting and nodded slightly, “Grandpa.”
Meng Ting grabbed a spoon for drinking ginger tea and looked at Mr. Xiao with wide eyes. Mr. Xiao looked over and Meng Ting said, “Grandpa.”
But then he asked again, “Grandpa, are you here to drive me away?”
When Meng Ting asked this, Xiao Ziang and Xiao Zimo’s scalp went numb. Their little brother was good at everything, but he was too honest, which sometimes caught them off guard.
Mr. Xiao was speechless when he heard this. He really didn’t know that Meng Ting could hold a grudge so well. The two of them looked at each other and the atmosphere around them became more and more awkward.
Meng Ting didn’t feel that way, he just felt it was necessary to ask.
Mr. Xiao’s beard trembled twice. When everyone thought he was going to lose his temper, he snorted and said, “What are you rushing to do? This is your home too.”
Meng Ting blinked, but he didn’t let it go. After passing Mr. Xiao, he said, “Then I have to go back with Yan Sui tomorrow.”
“It’s up to you,” Mr. Xiao replied. But he couldn’t help but glare at Meng Ting again. Then he looked at Yan Sui, “After drinking the ginger tea, come to the study. I’ll wait for you.”
“Okay, wait a moment.”
Yan Sui responded. Mr. Xiao turned around and planned to go back to the house but was stopped by Meng Ting again.
“Grandpa, can I also come?”
Meng Ting was not afraid of what Mr. Xiao would say to Yan Sui, but it was the first time he had arrived at the Xiao house and he didn’t want to be separated from Yan Sui.
“If you don’t find it boring, just come.” Mr. Xiao responded and quickened his pace. He was really depressed by Meng Ting.
“It’s not boring. I’ll come with Yan Sui later.” Meng Ting immediately responded. After he finished talking to Mr. Xiao, he then looked at Yan Sui and the other people who were staring at him silently, and his voice became inexplicably weaker.
“Although grandpa glared at me, he didn’t chase me away and was willing to let me go to the study room…” He shook Yan Sui’s hand as he spoke, his tone a little confused, “Yan Sui, what’s wrong?”
Why was everyone looking at him, did he say something wrong?
“But grandpa is willing to let me go to the study.” If he wanted to stick to Yan Sui, he had already asked his grandpa and he didn’t say no. Was there anything wrong?
“Nothing,” Yan Sui pulled Meng Ting to sit down. He took the bowl of ginger tea to Meng Ting and waited for him to finish it before they got up to find Mr. Xiao.
Xiao Ziang personally showed them the way and sent Yan Sui and Meng Ting to Mr. Xiao’s study before he stopped.
After the door was closed, Xiao Ziang thought for a while and smiled softly.
They were a little stunned just now because they had never seen Mr. Xiao look so speechless and helpless. The once all-powerful Mr. Xiao found such a nemesis in his later years. They were afraid he himself did not expect it.
Xiao Zilu and Xiao Ziyue were equally shocked. As the head of the Yan family, it was normal for Yan Sui not to be afraid of their grandfather, but this little cousin who had been living outside was not afraid of him either and even asked such terrible questions.
Xiao Huimin and Ning Zhou sighed softly, feeling a little helpless. They did not stay in the living room for too long. They were afraid Mr. Xiao and Yan Sui’s discussion time would not be short. Xiao Huimin had something to deal with, while Ning Zhou went to keep an eye on the arrangements for the evening banquet.
