Going to Water Fairy's house for dinner had been mentioned a long time ago, but the date had only been confirmed recently.
Lu Li had met Water Fairy's grandfather before, and the two of them had a pleasant conversation, but they hadn't formally paid him a visit. Even with his low EQ, he could vaguely sense that this dinner wasn't a simple one.
This not a simple dinner was to be held at Water Fairy's grandfather's house.
A formal visit!
Lu Li had recently been collecting gifts from all over the place, asking around to see what he could use to bribe a cultured old man.
Antiques, paintings, rare treasures, whatever he could get his hands on.
When the time came, he would spread them out in front of the old man and let him pick.
Whether or not to bring his sister was a problem. After some hesitation, Su Mo decided to bring his sister. Lu Xin was a part of his life that he could not let go of. In some ways, she was even more important than Water Fairy.
"Brother, I don't want to go." Lu Xin was on the verge of tears.
"Aren't you very close to Sister Cher? Let's just go for dinner." Lu Li was also helpless.
It wasn't appropriate to leave his sister alone at home, especially when Water Fairy's grandfather said he wanted to meet Lu Xin. They would be a family in the future.
"I'm a little nervous." Lu Xin was at a loss.
"Brother is even more nervous. I'm going to meet my future wife's parents. Why are you so nervous?"
"What if I don't perform well and Sister Cher doesn't want you anymore? Wouldn't you be very pitiful?" Lu Xin expressed that she didn't want to be the scapegoat.
"Your brother is so outstanding. How could she not!"
"Hmph, you're becoming more and more narcissistic. Sister Cher will abandon you sooner or later, and then I'll marry her. Then the two of us will live shamelessly and happily ever after," Lu Xin said with a grin.
Then, her ear was grabbed by Lu Li.
"Where did you learn that from? Two girls, shamelessly and shamelessly. Next time, don't watch those messy TV shows."
After the two siblings fooled around for a while, at least the tension was gone.
She brought the gifts and walked for a few minutes to the place where Water Fairy's grandfather lived. After all, they lived in the same neighborhood.
The only difference was that the place where Lu Li and Lu Xin lived was slightly more civilian, while the single-family villa of Water Fairy's grandfather was a little too big. The main house had two floors, and the design was unique. At first glance, one could tell that it was the work of a famous designer.
What showed the status of the owner the most was the lawn in front of the house, and … the vegetable garden. It must have been designed as a garden, but was later changed to grow vegetables.
The vegetable field was lush and lush, more vibrant than the lawn.
There were a few boys playing football on the lawn. The older ones were more than ten years old, and the younger ones were only a few years old. Seeing these children, Lu Li began to wonder if he had come to the wrong house.
If he remembered correctly, he had heard from Water Fairy that there was only Water Fairy's grandfather and a nanny who had been employed for more than ten years at home.
"May I know who you are looking for? What can I do for you?"
The leader of the group was an older child who seemed to be more mature. He came up to greet them politely.
"I'm Lu Li. I'm here to visit Mr. Fan."
"Who's Mr. Fan?" A little boy next to him blinked and asked curiously.
"Mr. Fan is my grandfather. Go and tell the people inside." The mature boy first introduced himself, then took some things from Lu Xin's hands, and led Lu Li and the others inside.
Lu Li suddenly had a bad feeling. This time, it seemed like Water Fairy's grandpa's family banquet was going to be different.
After entering the door, his premonition finally became a reality.
This was a family gathering, right?
Dozens of pairs of eyes stared at him, which made him, who was sometimes not even afraid of death, feel his legs turn to jelly.
Water Fairy sat next to her grandfather. At this time, she didn't dare to look at Lu Li. She actually pretended not to know him, which was rare. Her pretty face was slightly red, and she was very embarrassed.
The Lu siblings wanted to run away.
"Hey, isn't this Lu Xin?" someone said. It was a middle-aged woman who looked very intellectual and beautiful.
"Miss … Miss Zhao …" Lu Xin looked in the direction of the voice and actually saw her class teacher.
"You … you're Lu Li's sister, right? Come, sit next to me." The female teacher then explained to the others, "My students are very hardworking, and their grades are improving very quickly. When they first came in, they were in the 20s and 30s. This time, they're already in the top three."
Then, the group of people praised her in all kinds of ways.
After all, Lu Xin was very cute, and it was no exaggeration to say that everyone liked her. Moreover, she was very hardworking in her studies, so she immediately hit the Fan family's weak spot.
"Don't hide it. Hurry up and introduce them. It'll happen sooner or later." Water Fairy's grandfather used his cane to touch his granddaughter's calf, his face full of ridicule.
"Ahem, this is Lu Li, my boyfriend. Xin Xin, his sister." Once she threw caution to the wind, Water Fairy's beauty and generosity returned to her body again. Then, she began to introduce them one by one.
"My grandfather. You've met him before."
"Grandfather!"
"This is my uncle, and this is my aunt. His sons are my eldest cousin, second cousin, and fourth cousin."
"Uncle, aunt, eldest cousin, second cousin, and fourth cousin."
"This is my second uncle, second aunt, third cousin, fifth cousin, eighth cousin, and ninth cousin."
"Third uncle, third aunt, she's Xin Xin's teacher. Sixth cousin, seventh cousin, and tenth cousin."
"Fourth uncle, fourth aunt, eleventh cousin, twelfth cousin, and thirteenth cousin are sleeping upstairs. He's only six months old."
Lu Li greeted them one by one, and soon, sweat appeared on his forehead - _ - | |.
This was such a huge family.
And he quickly came to a conclusion. Old Master Fan had four sons and a daughter. The four sons gave him thirteen grandchildren, and only the daughter gave him a granddaughter.
Unfortunately, the daughter passed away early, leaving only one granddaughter, Water Fairy.
This old man who had thirteen grandchildren only had one granddaughter!
This family only had one little princess, Water Fairy.
Therefore, he felt that so many eyes were full of scrutiny and faint hostility. Using the word 'Alexander' was no longer enough to describe his situation.
This was like growing a small cabbage on a large piece of land.
Suddenly, it was going to be eaten by a pig.
The master would definitely kill the pig, and before that, he would have to torture it in different ways.
If the pig didn't have time to dig up the cabbage, he might be spared from the death penalty, but he might not be able to see the cabbage again. The owner would drive him far away, and maybe he would be castrated before he left.
Fortunately, the Fan family was a scholarly family, so they would not be too rude.
"You're a good-looking young man," said Water Fairy's uncle. Surprisingly, he wasn't trying to make things difficult for her. However, it was a little inappropriate for an old man to judge a book by its cover like that.
