Mo Xuanyi's family filed in. Wu Yuting and Zuo Changlu welcomed them with a smile, while Bai Yunduo and Zuo Xiaonian followed by their sides.
"Is this Xuanyi? This child is so beautiful … Is this Brother Mu … and Sister-in-law? Come, come, come, come sit in the room. "
Mo Xuanyi's family had an inexplicable feeling. The man and woman in front of them had a graceful bearing, and they exuded a sense of closeness from the inside out. There was not the slightest bit of arrogance to speak of, and it was a peaceful feeling that came from the bottom of their hearts. A feeling of goodwill that came from the bottom of their hearts suddenly surged up.
After exchanging a few words with each other, it was as if they were brothers who had been separated from each other for eighty years in the chaos of war.
Zuo Zhanglu and Wu Yuting were the top powerhouses of this era. While they were comprehending the Mortal Dust Incarnation, they were able to restrain their imposing manner and become indifferent.
They were no different from Father and Mother Zuo who were ordinary people in Phoenix City in the past. They were completely different from the so-called "amiable and approachable" people of the upper echelons. They were truly ordinary people.
With their countless years of experience in the world, the Mu couple instantly felt as if the people in front of them were their own brothers.
(After their daughter returned, Mu Congjun and his wife changed their daughter's name to "Mu Xuanyi". For the sake of familiarity in the book, I still used "Mo Xuanyi".)
Then, without any superfluous words, under the witness of everyone, Mo Xuanyi and Zuo Xiaonian kowtowed to their parents. The two sisters gave each other gifts, and the two parents gave their adopted daughters gifts. After a very simple process, the ceremony was completed.
After that, Zuo Xiaoduo, Li Chenglong, and the others gave their gifts to congratulate the two sisters on becoming sworn sisters …
The whole process was simple, but it did not lose its grandeur. It was simple and there were no complications.
It made people feel that everything was so logical and natural, as natural as flowing water and floating clouds ….
Then, everyone went to the hall and sat around a large table. Everyone took their seats.
The food had already been prepared, and they just had to take it out from their spatial rings.
Four jugs of wine were opened at the same time, and the aroma of the wine filled the air …
The four elders sat at the top. Bai Yunduo accompanied by Wu Yuting, Zuo Xiaonian and Mo Xuanyi sat below them, and then Zuo Xiaoduo and his brothers sat in four rows.
"Let the family feast begin. Today is an authentic family feast, everyone. Enjoy yourselves, there's no need to be restrained, hahaha..." Zuo Changlu seemed very happy.
Mo's parents were were even happier.
Mu even felt a little emotional.
The Zuo couple's foundation had been destroyed, and they were already crippled. According to his daughter, although the Zuo couple were ordinary people, their son and daughter were not ordinary. They were outstanding talents of the younger generation. If his daughter could become friends with them, she would naturally benefit a lot in the future.
Strictly speaking, this oath of brotherhood was still a social climb for the family. However, the Zuo couple was extremely amiable and sincere towards the two of them. It made the two of them feel as if they were bathed in the spring breeze. They couldn't help but speak a lot of heartfelt words. When they spoke emotionally, tears streamed down their faces.
Wu Yuting let out a long sigh.
This … was really the most pitiful thing in the world …
Until they sat down …
You Xian, who had been frozen for a long time, woke up from his daze. I … Why did I do nothing from the beginning to the end?
No one stopped me, but … Why didn't I find a chance to show my face from the beginning to the end? I didn't have a chance to speak, I didn't have a chance to go forward, I didn't have a chance to give gifts, I didn't have a chance to give my blessings …
What's going on?
I'm not that stupid of a person ….
It wasn't until everyone picked up their chopsticks and ate a few mouthfuls that You Xian realized …
He had become an invisible person!
Is my sense of existence that insignificant?
How can this be?
So he quickly put on a smile and said, "Xuan Yi, Zuo … Uncle, Auntie …"
Zuo Changlu frowned slightly, and looked at You Xian. He was a little hesitant and puzzled as he asked, "This … This young man is …?"
Wu Yuting also frowned, "I've never seen him before."
Mo Xuan Yi's parents smiled and said, "This is Xuan Yi's … Well, he's her boyfriend. Xiao You is a good young man. He's very hardworking, and his family background is not bad. "
Zuo Changlu's expression immediately turned better, and he smiled, "So he's Xuan Yi's boyfriend …"
Mo Xuan Yi didn't know why, but she raised her head and said, "He's not yet."
As soon as she said that, she was stunned.
Why did I say that?
Zuo Changlu smiled and said amiably, "Sit down, young man."
He turned to Mu Congjun and his wife and said, "Well, brothers of the Mu family, we're a family now. I'm a few years older than you, and I've experienced more things. I don't know if I should say something."
"Brother Zuo, you're too polite. We're a family. If there's anything you shouldn't say, just say it."
"Yes, Brother Zuo is Xuan Yi's adoptive father. If you have any opinions about her, just say it. She's your daughter."
Zuo Zhanglu chuckled and said, "Come to think of it, it's not easy for parents like us. You see, we've raised such a little thing from a little meatball that didn't know anything. But, we've raised it all the way to this day … What can we not worry about? Sigh … "
Wu Yuting said, "Do you still remember these two little debt collectors? When they were young, they didn't know anything. It was me who raised them …"
"Pfft …"
Li Chenglong almost choked on his wine.
The dozen or so people gave Zuo Xiaoduo a thumbs up at the same time. The food was really good.
But when Mo Xuan Yi's parents heard this, they felt very sympathetic. This topic had always been a common topic for all parents. Suddenly, the conversation became more and more emotional.
"Now that the child has grown up, we're old …"
Zuo Changlu sighed. "But I'm starting to worry about their marriage. I'm afraid that they'll meet the wrong person, that they'll be bullied, that they'll be let down, that they'll … Sigh, it's really worrying my heart. In the past, I heard that when a child was 100 years old, he would worry for 99 years. I thought it was just an exaggeration. Now that it's happening to me, it's the most realistic portrayal …"
Mo Xuan Yi's father's hand trembled. He picked up the wine and drank it in one gulp. His eyes were red. "Brother Zuo … You've really said what's in my heart. Tell me, as parents, when can we stop worrying?"
Zuo Zhanglu let out a long sigh. His gaze was fixed on the wine in his cup as he softly said from the bottom of his heart, "… Perhaps, we will have to wait until the day we close our eyes … and then we won't have to worry anymore."
As soon as he said this, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
Immediately, the four elders let out a soft sigh and drank their wine in one gulp.
The others also had their own thoughts. They lamented that they couldn't be filial in front of their parents. It was really unfilial.
"Compared to the two of you, the two of us can be said to have less to worry about."
Zuo Changlu smiled and said, "Xiao Nian, this girl was brought back from outside. It was raining at the time, and the girl in the swaddling clothes was like a wet kitten. She was just one month old …"
Wu Yuting smiled and said, "Who would have thought that the wet kitten from back then would grow up to become a great beauty and even mesmerized my son. Such a good daughter was actually taken advantage of by that stinky brat of mine …"
Zuo Xiaonian's eyes turned red. She was grateful and shy. She stomped her feet and twisted her waist as she pouted and said, "Mom!"
Zuo Changlu also looked at his daughter dotingly and said, "But now, I, Zuo Changlu, not only have a son and a daughter, but also a good son-in-law. It's one less thing to worry about …"
Mo Xuanyi's parents were very envious.
Looking at the pair of children, they were like pearls in the dew. Moreover, they were childhood sweethearts, grew up together, and knew each other very well. Wasn't that a good son and a good son-in-law? Their future happiness was already foreseeable.
This situation was indeed very satisfying for the parents. They couldn't be more relieved …
As a human being, when he thought about himself, he couldn't help but think about his own worries …
The difference in status between Xuanyi and the young master of the You family … seemed to be too big …
What would happen if they spent the rest of their lives together in the future?
The moment he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a hundred knots of worry in his heart.
After a while, they said sincerely, "I'm so envious … of the two of you …"
Wu Yuting smiled and said, "I think Xuanyi's … hmm, this chubby boy looks quite mature …"
Mo Xuanyi's mother didn't know why, but she suddenly felt uncomfortable. She couldn't help but hold Wu Yuting's hand and said helplessly, "Sister-in-law, you don't know … this child is a good child, but … his family doesn't match ours. His parents … aren't very satisfied with our family …"
Wu Yuting frowned and said, "What kind of family is this? How dare they be dissatisfied with our family?"
"This child is from the prestigious You family in Shang Jing. It's the family that Heavenly King You came from … sigh … how can we, as commoners, be worthy of them …"
Bai Yunduo, who was standing at the side, watched as the topic went smoothly under the guidance of her master and mistress. She subconsciously held her forehead with her hand and hurriedly ate a mouthful of food to calm herself down.
Brother You, it's not that I don't want to help you … it's just that your family's prejudice is too serious and too outdated. Plus, you've been arrogant for too many years. I really don't have any intention of gloating …
"The family that Heavenly King You came from …"
Zuo Changlu said thoughtfully, "… Then, it's indeed a little different from our family."
"Isn't that so …"
Wu Yuting pursed her lips.
"That's right. I thought it was some big family with great ambitions … So it's the You family …"
Zuo Changlu frowned and said, "How can such a small family be worthy of our daughter …"
"And he's so insensible …" Wu Yuting said.
"In-law, sister-in-law, you really have to think about this carefully. This child is a good child, but his family is too lowly … His taste is really bad …"
"This concerns the child's marriage … You have to think about it carefully. You can't be bewitched with flowery words," Wu Yuting said gracefully.
"Xuan Yi is so smart. She's like a fairy who has turned into a human being. How can she be betrothed to a poor family like the You Clan?"
"The two of you, your standards for choosing a son-in-law are too low," Wu Yuting said.
"Why don't we just forget about this marriage?" Zuo Changlu made the final decision.
