After breakfast, An Nuan went to Ye's house with Ye Jinghuai. Going to meet the parents for the first time was inevitably a little nervous, especially since she and Ye Jinghuai were in a marriage of convenience, which was clearly somewhat improper.
"My family is very easy to get along with," Ye Jinghuai seemed to see An Nuan's mood and comforted her.
An Nuan turned her head and looked at him, "Are they all easy to get along with?"
"They are all good, except..." Ye Jinghuai paused for a moment.
"Hmm?"
"Certain people." Ye Jinghuai was indifferent.
"Who?"
"You'll know when you get there." Ye Jinghuai spoke casually.
"Can't you give me some preparation in advance."
"If you prepare in advance, there won't be any surprises."
"Ye Jinghuai, what kind of surprise is this!" She really didn't want to stir up a bunch of trouble on the first day she walked in the door.
"You're so smart, I'm sure you'll know who it is at first glance."
"..."
Damn it.
One day she would be angered to death by Ye Jinghuai.
The car soon arrived at the Ye family villa.
The so-called top aristocratic family in Qingcheng really lived up to its reputation.
The villa, located halfway up the mountain, resembled a medieval manor. The expansive lawn, magnificent architecture, all made An Nuan feel a little awe-struck in that moment.
The two walked into the hall.
Everything was magnificently decorated.
In the distance, she could see the Ye family, sitting on the sofa, waiting for them.
An Nuan couldn't help taking a deep breath to herself.
She remembered when she married Gu Yan Sheng, they had lived with Gu's family. The next morning, Gu Yan Sheng took her to serve tea to his parents. His parents' arrogant manner, and Gu Yan Xuan's deliberate ridicule and contempt for her, were still vivid in her memory today.
At that time, Gu Yan Sheng's explanation to her was that his parents naturally assumed the attitude of elders in front of their juniors, otherwise they would lose face. As for Gu Yan Xuan's capriciousness, he casually said that she was still young and spoke thoughtlessly, so An Nuan shouldn't take it to heart.
And she, really believed his lies.
She had always thought Gu's parents were arrogant just because of their status as elders, and believed Gu Yan Xuan was disrespectful to her just because she was young and ignorant.
An Nuan suddenly showed a smile.
It was for her past naivety, and also to warn herself that in her rebirth, she would never wrong herself again.
At that moment, Ye Jinghuai suddenly took her hand into his palm.
"Don't let people misunderstand that we don't have good feelings for each other," Ye Jinghuai explained.
Clearly it was "Don't let people know we don't have good feelings for each other."
An Nuan muttered to herself.
Then she followed Ye Jinghuai and stopped in front of the sofa.
At that moment, the middle position on the sofa was occupied by Ye's parents, Ye Luping and Yun Yuqing. On the left sat the Ye family eldest son Ye Jingcheng and his wife Lu Jiaru. On the right sat the Ye family second son Ye Jingxuan, and a woman An Nuan didn't recognize, who should be Ye Jingxuan's girlfriend. In the corner of the sofa sat a girl holding a white plush cat. The cat and the girl were equally beautiful and pure.
"An Nuan, you're back so early. You were so tired last night, how could you not rest for a while?" Yun Yuqing immediately stood up and pulled An Nuan affectionately.
The friendliness emanating from her was not fake.
It was completely different from the feeling Ni Lan had given her back then.
Ni Lan had also acted affectionately with her in front of others, but that affection made An Nuan deeply repulsed. However, Yun Yuqing did not give her this feeling.
She smiled slightly, "I slept very well. Jinghuai and I left early last night, so I got plenty of rest. On the contrary, you were the ones who worked hard. "
"We're all family, no need to talk about who worked hard or not." Yun Yuqing was very enthusiastic, "Come, come, hurry and sit down."
"Mom, when a new daughter-in-law comes to the door, you have to ask for a red envelope first, you forgot." Eldest daughter-in-law Lu Jiaru laughingly reminded her.
"You see, I got too excited and forgot." Yun Yuqing patted her forehead and turned to a servant, "Wu Ma, bring the prepared tea to the third young master and young mistress."
"Yes, Madam." The servant replied respectfully.
Then, two servants walked over with trays, each carrying a cup of tea, and walked over to An Nuan and Ye Jinghuai respectively.
Ye Jinghuai held An Nuan's hand as the two knelt down together and served tea respectively.
After serving the tea, they received a big red envelope from the elders, in accordance with Beiwen traditions.
However, that day, Gu Wanquan and Ni Lan had deliberately played dumb. Not only did they not give a red envelope, they didn't even say a single kind word!
