Chapter 357: Chapter 357: Not Resistant to Meeting Parents

Meixi had not really entered the room; she just waited by the door, but she could hear everything inside clearly. She knew the relationship between the two couldn’t be mended, so she didn’t bother to join the commotion.

When Xi Wanfen hurried out this time, she was not crying anymore.

Not only was she not crying, but there was also a sense of relief in her.

"Sister Su, you’re right. In this world, it’s true that no one can love someone forever. The harsh reality is that things move on seamlessly, and only in novels and movies do people wait forever."

Meixi, with a smile, asked: "How long do you expect him to wait for you? Should he wait until you’re no longer sad to have a girlfriend? That wouldn’t be fair to him, would it?"

"That’s true. But I guess I’ll still be sad for a while, and after some time, I’ll be fine."

"I believe you," Meixi said with a smile.

"Sister Su, shall I take you home first?" asked Xi Wanfen.

Meixi thought for a moment: "Your home is closer from here, so maybe I’ll just go to your place first and then take a taxi."

Xi Wanfen immediately grasped the key point and agreed to the suggestion.

Her sister would first visit her home; that meant she probably didn’t object to meeting their parents!

Xi Wanfen’s mood suddenly improved immensely, and she took the opportunity to make a call to Li Shirui: "Mom, sister will come over to our house in a bit."

Meixi smiled and didn’t object to her making that call.

...

Xiao Fen had just driven the car back into the yard when she saw Li Shirui coming out as well.

Xiao Fen knew well who her mother came out to welcome; she never received such a reception no matter how late she came home.

As expected, after a short while, her mother walked to the passenger side and waved at Meixi in the car, saying, "Xiao Xi, Auntie just made some lung-nourishing soup. You and Xiao Fen had hotpot tonight, so you can drink a bit more."

Meixi got out of the car, wrapped her coat tighter, and nodded to Li Shirui.

Everything was just so naturally affectionate.

Actually, as long as she didn’t resist, Li Shirui would always be kind to her.

Meixi entered the living room, and Li Shirui served her the soup, also bringing out the best fruits in the house for Meixi to eat.

Meixi ate a bit as well.

For a moment, no one knew what to say, but it was clear that Li Shirui was pleased, and Meixi could feel that someone cared about her.

Time really flies; in the blink of an eye, another year is about to pass.

"This weekend, I’d like to invite you to my new place for a get-together," Meixi said.

She had mentioned it last time she came, and this time she was confirming it.

Li Shirui immediately agreed: "Sure, your dad and I will come. It’s just that Xiao Fen might have to work."

Xiao Fen lamented: "Yes, I have to be on duty this weekend."

Meixi said: "It’s alright, next weekend I will invite some young friends over, and you should be free then, right?"

"I am, and even if I’m not, I will be. I’ll swap shifts with a colleague," Xiao Fen said happily.

Li Shirui looked at Xiao Fen. This morning when she left for work, she still looked so downhearted. She didn’t expect that after going out with Meixi, her spirits would lift.

Thus, it’s best for a girl to have a sister or a younger sister, someone to help out when things happen.

...

After Meixi left, Li Shirui remained happy for a long time. She even specifically went to Xiao Fen’s room to ask carefully: "What did you and your sister talk about tonight? You both seem to be in such a good mood."

Xiao Fen was organizing the clothes she had gotten back from Liang Zhanbai, and while she was putting them away, she said: "Sister said that neither of us is to blame, it’s just that fate wasn’t on our side. Besides, Zhan Bai has a new girlfriend now, a doctor from our hospital. I think they are a better match."

Li Shirui asked: "Just like that, you’ve come to terms with it?"

"What else can I do? No one can keep waiting in the same place for someone else."

"Your sister went to fetch the stuff with you?"

"Yeah, she said if we got into a fight, she would come in and help me, but we didn’t argue. There is nothing worth fighting over. Letting him off is also letting myself off the hook."

Li Shirui now refers to "your sister" constantly, clearly regarding Su Meixi as the only sister Xiao Fen has.

...

Su Meixi hosted a gathering over the weekend, inviting some close sisters-in-law from the old residential compound.

Xi Huarong had something come up and couldn’t make it; he said he would choose another time to visit.

After all, it’s a daughter’s family; he wasn’t worried about lacking opportunities.

The sisters-in-law now all knew about the relationship between Li Shirui and Su Meixi, and they kept praising Su Meixi, saying how she looked really pretty and resembled her birth mother.

It was a warm and lively gathering, and the day passed by quickly.

Seeing Su Meixi and her husband bustle about, hosting everyone for the entire day, Li Shirui felt embarrassed to stay any longer, so when the sisters-in-law left, she also took her leave.

However, two days later, she came back, saying that since Xi Huarong couldn’t make it over the weekend, she felt a bit guilty and wanted to bring over some gifts.

So Su Meixi entertained them again.

Gu Wei wasn’t home that day; it was just her alone.

Once Xi Huarong arrived, the atmosphere in the living room seemed to get serious.

In truth, even though Su Meixi grew up by Xi Huarong’s side, she still felt intimidated by him, such was the strength of his presence.

So she brewed some tea and handed it to Xi Huarong with both hands.

Xi Huarong took the tea, had a sip, and then slowly started, "Xiao Xi, in a little while, your mom and I plan to visit your grandparents back in our hometown. You should come with us."

Su Meixi was startled for a moment.

People in officialdom talk like this, never speaking too clearly but still making their point understood.

If she agreed, it would signify her willingness to return to the Xi Family, to be the daughter of the Xi Family.

"I... My schedule is quite packed lately; I’m not sure if I’ll have the time." Su Meixi made an excuse.

Right now, she just didn’t reject interacting with them, but visiting the grandparents... better not.

"There’s no rush. Let us know when you’re free," Xi Huarong said.

"Hmm." Su Meixi felt a complicated mix of emotions, unsure whether she was doing the right thing.

After sitting for half an hour, Xi Huarong and Li Shirui left. Xi Huarong gifted her a new tea set. Though Su Meixi didn’t know much about tea sets, she was, after all, the daughter-in-law of the Gu Family and had seen fine things before. She could tell at a glance that this tea set was high-end, and it would surely add prestige when entertaining guests.

She sat on the sofa in a daze for a long time, until Gu Wei came back.

Gu Wei asked, "Did we have visitors just now?"

"It was the parents from the Xi Family," Su Meixi replied.

"The tea set was a gift from them?"

"Yeah."

"Really nice," Gu Wei said sincerely.

"Let’s not talk about them. How was your day?"

"Are you asking about the treatment? The doctor said the effectiveness still needs to be tested in practice."

"Tested how?"

"They said I should now have the capability to get my wife pregnant."

Su Meixi’s face flushed red.
