Quick Wear: Reversing Life

Chapter 258: Escape from the Mountains (39)

Li Yanshu's heart, which had been somewhat relieved, was lifted up again by his mother's words.

Chen Xianhua didn't expect Yu Xi to understand so well. He originally wanted to call off the marriage since it was only a verbal agreement between the two families.

Li Yanshu looked at Xiaocao unconsciously.

There are only three girls in the Chen family. The only ones of the right age are Chen Jiahui and Xiaocao.

Xiaocao didn't expect that she would be involved in this matter, and she looked a little confused.

Before Chen Xianhua could speak, Yu Xi's expression changed subtly.

She admires Xiaocao, but she really needs to consider whether she can be her daughter-in-law.

Although birth is not a child's choice, Yu Xi felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Originally, the husband and Chen Shanshan were engaged. Now that Chen Jiahui doesn't want to marry, does she have to be replaced by Xiaocao?

She felt sorry for what happened to Chen Shanshan, but that didn't mean she had to sacrifice her own son to make up for it.

Chen Jiahui was a child Yu Xi had watched grow up, but Xiaocao wasn't! Although Yu Xi had seen her efforts over the years and knew she was indeed excellent, this wasn't Yu Xi's requirement for choosing a daughter-in-law.

Chen Jiahui is simple-minded and lively, and is suitable for Li Yanshu's quiet personality.

But Xiaocao is quieter than Li Yanshu and has a colder personality. If she marries Li Yanshu, will the relationship between the couple be good?

Li Yunhang didn't have any hesitations. After hearing his wife's words, he asked directly, "Should we change it to Xiaocao?"

Li Yanshu's expression paused.

Xiaocao said, "Auntie, you misunderstood. Grandpa meant that free love is popular nowadays, and Brother Yanshu probably wouldn't want to be forced to be tied to me or Jiahui. The Li and Chen families have a good relationship, so there's no need to rely on marriage to prove it."

Li Yanshu looked at her in a daze.

Xiao Cao also looked at Li Yanshu and smiled slightly: "Isn't that right, Brother Yanshu?"

Li Yanshu didn't say anything, but Yu Xi noticed something was wrong with his son at a glance.

...

On the way back, Yu Xi looked at the silent Li Yanshu and asked after some thought, "Do you like grass?"

Li Yanshu, who had originally closed his eyes to rest, opened his eyes upon hearing this.

Yu Xi said, "I may not understand others, but I know you. You like grass."

Li Yanshu didn't say anything.

He himself doesn't know.

Li Yanshu has never liked anyone, never experienced the legendary first love, and never felt any heartbeats or palpitations.

He knew from a very young age that his future wife would probably be Chen Jiahui. His understanding of this matter was only limited to the fact itself, and his heart was calm.

But just now, I thought about what it would be like to marry Xiaocao...

It seemed like he would feel a little happy.

Is this love?

"You like the grass, but the grass doesn't like you at first glance," said Yu Xi.

"why?"

Li Yanshu asked.

"If Xiaocao liked you, she wouldn't react like that."

Li Yanshu was silent.

Yes, if Xiaocao liked him, her expression wouldn’t be that dull.

Xiaocao has always been a very goal-oriented person and will never waste energy on things that he is not interested in.

Yu Xi said, "Forget it. This marriage contract is cancelled. You and Jia Hui are not destined to be together."

Li Yanshu said, "I only ever treated Jiahui as my younger sister."

Before tonight, he had been thinking about how to tell his parents about what happened between him and Chen Jiahui.

It didn’t matter before, but now that he has someone he likes, Li Yanshu is unwilling to compromise.

But he didn't expect that Chen Jiahui had already made a fuss before he could open his mouth.

"Then there's no possibility for you and Xiaocao." Yu Xi interrupted his thoughts without mercy.

"What if the grass likes me too?" Li Yanshu asked, "What if the grass likes me too?"

"You are not suitable."

"What's inappropriate?"

Yu Xi paused and said, "She's too sharp. You can't suppress her."

-

When she went home for New Year's Day, Wu Mengchuan came to deliver information to Xiaocao. Chen Jiahui was swinging on the swing with Xiaohua in the garden. When she saw Wu Mengchuan, she immediately got up from the swing and walked to Xiaocao.

"The mission information is all in there." Wu Mengchuan handed Xiaocao a USB flash drive.

"And this, my sister asked me to give it to you." Then he took out a small gift box from his pocket.

Wu Menghe went to Australia to participate in a competition some time ago. He bought a kangaroo egg key pendant for Xiaocao and sent it back to China, asking Wu Mengchuan to help pass it on.

"..."

Although I don't really want to.

Wu Menghe likes to buy these kind of strange things.

Wu Mengchuan didn't know what Wu Menghe bought, so he handed it to Xiaocao and prepared to leave.

Chen Jiahui said, "Xiaocao, please invite someone in for a cup of tea."

She looked at Wu Mengchuan. After not seeing him for so many years, his face looked sharper than before, with blue stubble on his chin, and a more decadent and cold temperament.

Chen Jiahui had already spoken, Xiaocao glanced at her and asked, "Menghe is not at home, why don't you come to my house for lunch?"

The elders of the Wu family are busy with work and rarely eat lunch at home.

Wu Mengchuan wanted to refuse, but Chen Jiahui was very excited: "Yes, yes, come in and have lunch."

Wu Mengchuan was carried into Luyuan like this.

Chen Xianhua was watching TV with Chen Shanshan in the living room. When he saw Wu Mengchuan, his eyebrows raised in surprise.

Wu Mengchuan knew Chen Xianhua, but he really didn't know that Xiaocao and Chen Xianhua were related.

Xiao Cao said, "Grandpa, this is my senior, Wu Mengchuan."

Wu Mengchuan's originally lazy body straightened up instantly and he greeted Chen Xianhua.

Is Chen Xianhua Xiaocao's grandfather? He only has one daughter, and didn't she disappear many years ago?

"Ah, the children of the Wu family, what a coincidence, they are studying the same major." Chen Xianhua said.

"Well, he and I are in the same project team now." Xiaocao said, pouring a glass of water for Wu Mengchuan.

"Brother Mengchuan, do you like playing games? Do you want to go upstairs to play some games?" Chen Jiahui asked, "It's still half an hour before dinner time."

Xiao Cao looked at Wu Mengchuan and said, "You guys go up and play. I'll take a look at the information in the USB drive first."

There is indeed an audio-visual room on the second floor of Luyuan, which is equipped with a full range of electronic equipment, but Xiaocao rarely uses it. He only occasionally watches movies with Xiaohua.

Although Wu Mengchuan usually plays games, he always plays horror puzzle games alone.

Especially now that he is with a girl he doesn’t know well, Wu Mengchuan feels a little uninterested.

Wu Mengchuan left the room under the pretext of going to the bathroom.

Xiaocao's room was next to the audio-visual room. When Wu Mengchuan came back from the bathroom, he saw Xiaocao sitting at the desk next to the balcony reading a book.

Her room and Wu Menghe's room are both decorated in the same neutral tones, clean and tidy, and smell fragrant.

The sunlight shone on her from the open balcony door, outlining a golden edge on her profile.

Although the winter in S City is not cold, a slight cold wind still blows in through the open balcony door.

Wu Mengchuan leaned against the door frame and asked lazily, "Have you read the information?"

Xiaocao turned and looked at him.

Wu Mengchuan walked in and found that the book she was reading was a programming book.

"Are you still studying so hard during the holidays?"
