Shancai Rebirth: My Choice

Chapter 173 Ximen Family Dinner

Lei's hand that was originally swiping on the phone screen stopped, and after hesitating for a moment, he said: "Ximen, how do you usually make girls happy?"

Simon was a little bit incredulous, like, was he asking him how to coax a girl?

"I just, ..." Simon originally wanted to talk about his experience in pursuing girls, but suddenly he remembered that the methods he used to pursue girls were just buying things, and his attitude towards them was just playful, which didn't seem to be anything special.

"Forget it, I can't answer this question for you. Those little tricks I used don't work on Shanlai." Ximen spread his hands innocently.

The methods he used to coax other girls were always the same. No matter what he bought, Shanlai seemed to have no shortage of it, and she even had better ones.

His eyes darkened, and he said nothing more.

"But, Lei, you and Shanlai have a very good relationship, and she doesn't seem like the kind of girl who would make trouble for no reason. Why do you care about this?" Ximen leaned on the sofa, opened his phone and started to look at the messages sent by friends in the phone list. When he swiped to Xiaoyou's column, his finger paused and continued to swipe down.

"Yes, Shanlai is so considerate. She is destined to be a princess but has no princess syndrome. She is a breath of fresh air among the daughters of wealthy families. You should be secretly happy to have a girlfriend who is well-matched with you." Mei Zuo came over at some point, heard their conversation, and interjected.

"Yes." Ximen supported his head with his hands and looked at the class. "You guys are fine. Your family backgrounds are well matched and you two like each other. Unlike us." Ximen smiled bitterly and turned to look at Meizuo next to him.

"We don't even know what our future spouse looks like, let alone getting to know each other in advance and developing feelings together." Misaku shrugged and ran a hand through her hair.

It suddenly dawned on him that, yes, he was the luckiest one among the four.

The other three people are still unsure about their future and are not even sure what kind of person the other person who will accompany them will be.

He is different. If everything goes well, they should be able to get engaged after her coming-of-age ceremony.

After being enlightened by Ximen Meizuo's words, Lei's mood instantly brightened up, "You are right." Lei smiled, reached out to pick up a piece of cake and took a bite.

Only he and Shanlai knew the current situation between them, and how to get along was a matter between the two of them. However, there was one thing he was sure of, and that was that he would be with her until the end.

Simon was puzzled by Lei's sudden happiness. Didn't he just ask him with a depressed look on his face how to make girls happy?

Why did he suddenly act as if he didn't care that much about the question just now?

I don't understand.

"Anyway, you two are boyfriend and girlfriend. No matter what, you definitely know her better than us. If you don't know her very well, that's your problem." Simon clapped his hands and pointed at Lei, then turned around and high-fived Meizuo.

"Yeah." Misaku crossed his arms and looked at Lei, nodding silently.

He paused in eating for a moment, and suddenly felt that what Simon said made sense.

"Thank you, Simon." Lei clenched his fist and stretched it out, and Simon also stretched out his fist and bumped it with him.

"Nothing, it's my duty." Simon seemed very generous and didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

My good brother Ati is a pure boy who doesn't talk much.

They are good brothers who grew up together. They all know that his favorite girl in the past was Jing, although they don’t know what happened between Lei and Jing that caused Lei to give up Jing.

Whatever decision he makes is his own business. Apart from helping him analyze the situation when he is confused and supporting him to do what he wants to do when necessary, they don't seem to be able to help him in any other way.

"I heard from my father that Shanlai might hold a coming-of-age ceremony in a while. At that time, famous people from all walks of life in Country K will be present. There must be someone who is interested in her status as the heir of the Deng He family and wants to marry into the Deng He family."

"Hey, before that, shouldn't you try to put your engagement date on the agenda? It would be even better if you could propose it at Shanlai's coming-of-age ceremony." Ximen blinked, picked up the cup beside him and took a sip of juice, smiling maliciously.

Lei smiled a little embarrassedly and reached out to touch his nose. Actually, what Ximen said was not unreasonable. He should really try hard to put their engagement on the agenda first, mainly because he didn't know what kind of changes would happen later.

It is always better to plan ahead than to fix things after they happen.

"It's good that you have this intention. Your future father-in-law and mother-in-law will be here soon. You should think carefully about how to leave a good impression on them." With that, Ximen ran away.

Mei Zuo saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he followed Ximen out. The two of them leaned over the door and stuck their heads out. Then they pointed at him in unison, "Watch out for his performance."

After saying this, the two of them ran away jokingly.

Soon night falls.

Gradually more and more people came to Ximen's house, and the other three members of f4 were forced to open the business and stand with Ximen to entertain the guests.

Although it was just a small reception, quite a few people came, most of whom were people who supported Simon Lang's election today.

"Oh my God, wasn't it said to be just a small reception? Why are there so many people here?" Mei Zuo couldn't help but say in Ximen's ear.

"Well, I don't know either." Ximen answered Meizuo's question in a low voice.

He doesn't know? How is that possible?

He had seen the guest list before, so of course he knew who was coming and how long it would take to entertain them. However, he seemed a little weak to entertain them all by himself, so he asked them to come along.

When Shan Lai and the Deng He couple appeared in their sight, the four of them became serious. It was fine for them to be polite to others, but they could not just be polite to the Deng He couple. They had to be respectful again and again, because they were the guests of honor of the Ximen family today.

"Hello, Uncle Denghe." Simon was the first to step forward and greeted them with a smile.

Deng Heyin looked at Ximen and answered him politely, "Hello, Ximen, thank you for your hard work in entertaining the guests."

"It's not hard. Actually, I should thank you for what happened today." Ximen waved to the servant who was holding champagne not far away, picked up two glasses and handed one to Deng Heyin, "Uncle Deng He, this glass is a toast to you. Let me drink it first." Ximen drank the champagne in the glass.

Deng Heyin was still a little surprised at Ximen's strong social skills, but he quickly reacted and raised his glass to drink it all.
