In the Xu family, everyone was sitting around the dining table. Song Ji-hyo was sitting beside Xu Zhixuan. Today was Xu Zhixuan's birthday. To him, there were no surprises, only calmness. However, this was what Xu Zhixuan longed for. No one could understand the confusion brought to him by his rebirth.
Don't think that being reborn was a good thing. Just like what was written in novels, after being reborn, Xu Zhixuan had been searching for his own existence in this world. He went to China to search for traces of his previous life, but to no avail. He longed for kinship, but he rejected it from the bottom of his heart. Otherwise, the only people that Xu Zhixuan truly accepted were Xu Zhiyong's family and Xu Minhao's family.
"Today is Mr. Xu Zhixuan's 33rd birthday. Let's toast to him being one year older!" This kind of livening up the atmosphere could only be left to Xu Haiying. Among the younger generation, Xu Xian was not good with words. Xu Renying's face was full of unwillingness. If Xu Minhao was not present, it would probably be another war of words.
Xu Zhixuan rolled his eyes at Xu Haiying and laughed. "What do you mean by one year older? I'm still very young, okay?" He would not admit that he was old. At most, he was mature. If 33 was considered old, then what was your father?
"Hey, have you not heard of 'a man passes the thirtieth day of noon'?"
Hearing Xu Haiying's sudden Mandarin sentence, everyone was surprised. Xu Zhixuan looked at Xu Haiying calmly and asked, "Don't you know what I learned? How dare you speak Mandarin in front of me? "He also did not know how Xu Haiying knew this Chinese proverb.
"You're looking down on me!" Xu Haiying raised her head proudly and said proudly. "I learned it before."
Xu Haiying's answer surprised Xu Minhao and Xu Renying. They lived under the same roof as Xu Haiying and didn't know when Xu Haiying started learning Chinese. But they were still quite happy. After all, China's culture was very popular in Korea. Basically, if one wanted to understand Chinese culture, the prerequisite was to learn Chinese.
"Then do you know what it means to pass noon after thirty days?" This was not because Xu Zhixuan wanted to test Xu Haiying, but because he was a little surprised. If she really knew the meaning of this saying, then Xu Haiying must have studied it carefully.
Other than Xu Xian, who had fallen in love with Chinese culture under Xu Zhixuan's teachings, she was more familiar with Mandarin and Chinese characters. When Girls' Generation went to China, she was basically the spokesperson. She had shocked the fans of China's Generation. Now that she heard that her sister also knew Mandarin, her attention was drawn to her.
Xu Haiying smiled proudly and replied, "Of course I know it. I learned it from a China exchange student! Isn't it just getting married after thirty? Brother, when are you going to marry Zhixiao and Jinni? "
"This child, is Zhixiao for you to call her that? You should call her Second Sister-in-law! "
Xu Haiying was obviously too proud. In Xu Minhao's eyes, she was talking nonsense. Since Xu Zhixuan had already admitted his relationship with Song Ji-hyo and had met her parents, then they were family. There was a reason to confirm their relationship as soon as possible.
"It's okay, Uncle!" Song Ji-hyo stepped in at the right time to protect Xu Haiying. For Song Ji-hyo's sake, Xu Minhao did not continue to pursue the matter. He asked, "Zhixiao, Uncle is experienced. When are you and Zhixuan getting married?"
In his opinion, since they had already made their relationship public, and both of them were not young anymore, it was time to prepare for their marriage. Lim Eun-jung saw that Xu Minhao was being a little too hasty, so she said, "How about this, Zhixiao? Why don't we ask Uncle and Auntie to come out and meet them? What do you think?"
Xu Zhixuan did not want to put Song Ji-hyo in a difficult position. He felt that his family had the intention of forcing Song Ji-hyo to marry him. He quickly interrupted, "Sister-in-law, Uncle, my relationship with Zhixiao has just been made public. The news is still hot. If we arrange to meet Zhixiao's family at this time, wouldn't it be a little too hasty?"
"You can't say that. The sooner you settle the relationship, the more relieved we will be!" Xu Zhiyong said. He had the same thoughts as Xu Minhao on this point. The future generations of the Xu family all depended on Xu Zhixuan. Although Song Ji-hyo was not old, she was not young either. She was just 30 years old. It was not a good thing to continue taking off her clothes.
Xu Zhixuan wanted to continue to refute, but Song Ji-hyo grabbed his hand. She smiled and said, "Okay, I will listen to Big Brother, Sister-in-law, and Uncle. After a while, I will ask my parents to come out and meet them!" After Xu Zhixuan had made their relationship public, she had thought it through. In fact, she was quite anxious in her heart. After all, there were too many beautiful women in the entertainment industry. Marriage might bring her a sense of security.
"Yes, that's right. However, what Zhixuan said is not unreasonable. Let's do it this way. Let's get engaged first, then choose a good day and arrange the marriage. This way, it won't seem rushed!" Xu Minhao was satisfied. Xu Zhiyong and Lim Eun-jung were also satisfied. Anyway, they knew from Lim Eun-jung that Xu Zhixuan and Song Ji-hyo had already been intimate.
Xu Zhixuan suddenly frowned and then relaxed. However, Xu Renying, who had been paying attention to him, saw it and asked, "You frowned. Are you not satisfied? If you have any dissatisfaction, say it. My dad is not a dictator! "After that, she raised her eyebrows and looked at Xu Zhixuan.
"This child, what nonsense are you talking about? Zhixuan, do you have any opinion?" Xu Minhao first taught Xu Renying a lesson, then asked Xu Zhixuan.
Xu Zhixuan first glared at Xu Renying. This girl, if I don't teach her a lesson for three days, she will become a troublemaker. Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, especially Song Ji-hyo, who suddenly tightened her grip on his hand, he explained with a smile, "No, I don't have any opinion. I can't wait to marry Zhixiao as soon as possible. It's just that I suddenly thought of something."
"What? Will it affect it? "
As an elder, they would always care about their children. When they heard that something could make Xu Zhixuan feel embarrassed, Xu Minhao and the others all looked at Xu Zhixuan with concern. This made him very happy. Afraid that they would misunderstand, he explained again, "It's not a big deal. It's just that Choi Ho-woon came to me today and said that Jackie Chan has a movie for me!"
"What? Jackie Chan? "
The one who asked was Xu Zhiyong. For the others, Xu Minhao was obsessed with Bruce Lee, Lim Eun-jung, and other women. He also did not like to watch action movies. He only knew that Jackie Chan was an international superstar, so he was not as surprised as Xu Zhiyong.
"You said that you want to star in Jackie Chan's movie? Are you serious? "
Xu Zhixuan broke away from Xu Zhiyong's clutches. He did not know that his old-fashioned and rational brother was also a fan of celebrities. But when he thought about Jackie Chan's age, he realized that Jackie Chan was young, and it was the peak of Hong Kong's movie industry. There were many people who were obsessed with Hong Kong celebrities. Yoo Jae-seok's idol was his brother, Leslie Cheung.
"Yes, but I haven't replied yet!" After all, although he knew that Jackie Chan's movie could help him enter the China market, he still needed to be reserved. It was not too late to reply after a few days. After all, Xu Zhixuan was in Korea now, and he was also a big shot.
Xu Zhiyong slammed the table and said excitedly: "What's there to think about? Say yes. I will be a fool if I don't say yes. This is Jackie Chan's movie. Oh, remember to get an autographed photo for me. Also, where are the DVDs that I memorized?" After saying that, he got ready to get up and look for the DVDs that he collected when he was young.
Xu Zhixuan quickly stopped him. What a joke. Didn't you see Lim Eun-jung's face turning black? Also, there was no rush. After agreeing to many conditions, Xu Zhiyong was finally appeased. But when Xu Zhixuan saw Lim Eun-jung's unfriendly expression, he could only pray in his heart that his brother would have good luck tonight.
"Come, come, come. Let's not talk about these. Let's eat first!" Xu Minhao also had eyes. Lim Eun-jung, this eldest daughter-in-law, was good in everything, but she liked to control Xu Zhiyong. He still remembered when they were dating, his younger brother told him that Xu Zhiyong was too cowardly and would definitely be a coward in the future. It seemed that what he said was true.
In fact, Lim Eun-jung was not really angry. Her character was a little traditional, and she valued etiquette. When she saw Xu Zhiyong was so agitated that he almost knocked over the plate in front of the elders, she was a little annoyed. But when she heard her uncle's words, she went with the flow and smiled again. It was as if the gloomy Lim Eun-jung did not appear.
After dinner, the three men walked to the courtyard and smoked. The women were busy in the house, talking and laughing.
"What do you think?"
Xu Zhiyong was the first to speak. He just saw that Xu Zhixuan had objections. It was only because Song Ji-hyo took the initiative to agree that he did not continue to refuse.
"What do you mean by what I think?"
Xu Zhixuan did not understand what he was referring to.
Xu Minhao squatted and squinted. Seeing that Xu Zhixuan did not understand, he reminded him, "Zhiyong is referring to why you refused just now."
"I just want Zhixiao to think that our family is forcing her to do something!"
When Xu Zhixuan said that, Xu Zhiyong and Xu Minhao did not understand. Wasn't it just to settle the marriage as soon as possible? How did it become forcing? Which family's elders did not do this? Why did Xu Zhixuan not understand?
"Brother, Uncle, you don't understand!" Seeing that Xu Zhiyong and Song Ji-hyo's expressions became ugly, Xu Zhixuan knew that he had said something wrong. He quickly explained, "Zhixiao is afraid that after marriage, we will ask her to leave the entertainment industry and let her stay at home to take care of her husband and children."
"Isn't that normal?"
In their understanding, when a female celebrity got married, of course she would have to leave the entertainment industry. This was a very normal thing. Even if they did not understand the industry, they had seen pigs run. Didn't many female celebrities get married like this and stay at home to take care of their husband and children?
"This …" Xu Zhixuan was in a difficult position. Could it be that he could tell that Song Ji-hyo did not want to leave the entertainment industry and wanted to continue being an actress? Wouldn't that make Song Ji-hyo feel uncomfortable in front of Big Brother and Uncle? After thinking for a while, he said, "Here's what I think. Zhixiao and I are both on the rise in our careers. Going public with our relationship is different from getting married. I have already told Zhixiao that once we have children, we will get married immediately!"
"You mean you don't want to …"
Xu Zhixuan quickly shook his head and said, "There is an engagement. There is no rush to get married. We will talk about it when we have children. Big Brother and Uncle, please understand!"
"Okay, let's do that!"
Xu Zhiyong and Xu Minhao looked at each other and nodded. They wanted children. Whether they got married or not didn't matter!
