Surprise! I'm pregnant with a rich heir
Chapter 16 Family Banquet
Han Miaoyun's eyebrows were raised, and she was about to start arguing. Mei Yu saw He Qiong frowning and tried to smooth things over, "Madam, we were just joking just now. We didn't say that the young master was in love. We will know the details when the young master comes."
"Okay, go in and wait first." She was tired of handling lawsuits day after day.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xi Xuanyao's car coming in from afar, so he just waited for a while.
Xi Xuanyao was wearing a grey casual outfit, and his straight long legs came to the front in a few seconds. He greeted them, "Good morning, grandma, mom, dad, and aunt."
He Qiong smiled from ear to ear, looked him up and down, and said, "Good, good, good."
The group entered the villa and sat in the living room drinking tea. Xi Xuanyao and his grandmother briefly talked about the company's situation and chatted about family matters.
Meiyu came over and asked, "Madam, is the meal ready?"
He Qiong glanced at Zhou Yan and asked, "Why didn't Yiming come?"
Zhou Yan looked embarrassed and tried to make amends for her son: "He had a social event last night and got up late. He will be here soon. I'll go to the door to see if he's here."
After he got out, he called Xi Yiming immediately and said with anger, "Where are you now? Come to the old house as soon as possible."
"I understand," Xi Yiming said calmly.
Finally, they arrived at lunch time and apologized to their elders with a smile. He Qiong didn't say much, just smiled and asked the kitchen to serve the food.
The long table was filled with rich dishes. He Qiong sighed, "Our family is too small. We can't even fill one table."
"Where is my aunt?" Xi Xuanyao asked.
"Your aunt is traveling abroad, and Zhian is studying abroad. We are the only ones left. Xuanyao, you and Yiming are old enough. When will I be able to hold my great-grandson?"
She didn't want to be the bad person either. Her children and grandchildren would have their own blessings, but she was already thirty years old and rarely seen. If she didn't mention it now, when would she mention it?
Xi Yiming swallowed the abalone in his mouth and said with a smile: "Grandma, getting married is not popular now. Who wants to get married and add shackles to themselves?"
"I think you just need someone to look after you. I don't know what you are busy with every day." Don't think she doesn't know that Yiming likes to play in private. He changes the internet celebrity anchor every once in a while. It's useless to say it several times. She is just a grandmother, and it will be annoying if she says too much.
Xi Yiming ate his food in disappointment. He didn't like coming here because his mother would scold him every time he went back.
He Qiong couldn't control Xi Yiming's carelessness, so she turned to ask Xi Xuanyao: "What about you? Is there no one you like? Our family doesn't need a marriage. As long as you like someone and he has good character, grandma won't object."
Han Miaoyun couldn't help but speak: "Although there is no need for an arranged marriage, it still makes sense to marry someone of equal status. You can't even talk to an ordinary person. I think the girl from the Shen family is pretty good. Xuanyao, why don't you meet her?" She couldn't bear to be outdone by Zhou Yan when it came to her daughter-in-law.
Seeing the war shift, Xi Yiming became inflated, "Maybe my cousin has a girlfriend. He doesn't work overtime recently and gets off work on time every day." Asking him to socialize every day may mean that he likes to have fun in private, but that doesn't mean he likes socializing.
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes turned to Xi Xuanyao, who put down his chopsticks, wiped the corners of his mouth, looked up and said, "I don't have a girlfriend. I just don't want to work overtime recently, that's all."
How could he dare to bring Ruan Yin back when the sterilization drugs were found out before? Who knows what will happen? Thinking of this, he glanced at Zhou Yan opposite him without leaving a trace.
Xi Changhong tried to smooth things over for his son, saying, "Xuan Yao has something on his mind. There's no point in us getting anxious. We just need to wait."
"Wait, wait, how long will it take?" Han Miaoyun said impatiently.
Zhou Yan gently advised: "Maybe it's not fate yet. We as parents all want our children to be happy."
Han Miaoyun became more and more angry when she saw her like this. "Sister-in-law, Xuan Yao is the head of the Xi family. He is not as idle as Yiming. Offspring are the top priority." She emphasized the word 'head of the family' especially.
The smile on Zhou Yan's face froze, and she lowered her head pretending to be aggrieved, "I'm just thinking about Xuan Yao, we can't be forced to be enemies together, right?" The hands under the table dug into the flesh, and her lowered eyes hid the resentment inside.
These words hit Han Miaoyun hard. She had liked her husband before, but when that didn't work out, she ended up marrying Xi Changhong. How shameless!
Han Miaoyun's eyebrows were raised, and his eyes seemed to be spitting fire. He was grabbed by Xi Changhong and the fire was transferred to him, "Okay, I know you..."
"Shut up" He Qiong stopped him before he could finish the words, "Look at you, don't you act like elders?" The word "you" has a meaningful meaning. Han Miaoyun has a good family background, a hot temper, and a proud personality. Zhou Yan has a weak personality and her eldest son died early. She can't help but be more tolerant of Zhou Yan.
Seeing that her mother-in-law was angry, Han Miaoyun quickly apologized: "Mom, I was wrong"
He Qiong said in a resounding voice: "Xuan Yao is the head of our Xi family, and Yiming is also my grandson. Only when everyone works together can Hui Heng do better, instead of just wasting the foundation that our ancestors have worked so hard for, which will eventually be squandered."
She knew that her eldest daughter-in-law had always believed that Chang Jin was dead and Yiming should inherit Huiheng, but after investigation, she found that Yiming was not suitable. She did not even consider her youngest son Chang Hong and directly let Xuan Yao take over this responsibility. Facts have proved that her vision was correct. Huiheng has developed steadily in recent years and its market value has increased to over 100 billion.
Xi Xuanyao nodded, "Grandma, I know"
He Qiong glanced at his grandson with relief, then turned his gaze to Xi Yiming. His eyes were wandering, and it was unknown what he was thinking. Zhou Yan twisted his arm, and he hissed in pain. Seeing everyone's gaze, he quickly said, "Got it."
After dinner, Xi Xuanyao accompanied He Qiong to the greenhouse to water the plants. The old lady liked to take care of flowers and grass when she had nothing to do. She had a greenhouse specially built in the villa. She sighed: "It's better to grow flowers. It's pleasing to the eye and won't ruin your mood."
Xi Xuanyao knew what his grandmother meant, and said with a smile: "If you like it, I will go find some rare flowers next time."
"I just like flowers that bloom well. Whether they are valuable or not is secondary. Flowers that are too valuable are all delicate." He Qiong leaned over and watered the flowers carefully.
Xi Xuanyao took the watering can handed over by his grandmother and helped her out. "That's right, you have taken good care of these flowers."
"I only come to see it occasionally. Meiyu mainly takes care of it. By the way, were you kidding me when you said you didn't have a girlfriend?"
She didn't believe what he said about not wanting to work overtime recently. This grandson worked so hard and cared so much about his work. Others might not know it, but she knew it very well.
"I can't hide it from you. She is not your girlfriend. When the time is right, I will bring her back to see you," Xi Xuanyao said.
He Qiong was delighted and her face was full of smiles, "Okay, okay, grandma will wait, please don't make me wait too long." What she was most worried about was Xuan Yao. He was almost thirty years old and had never had a girlfriend. She was afraid that he liked the same sex. Yiming had always had girlfriends, so she was not worried. She just wanted to see when he would settle down and start a family.
