Chapter 219 Madam Si's Request!
Zhou Zixiao didn't expect that Shi Sheng was also on the same flight today.
Since they all arrived in Hong Kong on the same day, they might have already met, but just didn't recognize each other.
Si Xuxia laughed and said, "I don't think so. My sister didn't arrive until a little after 5 p.m.
It's past five o'clock!
That's even more of a coincidence!
Zhou Zixiao then added, "I also arrived around 5 o'clock."
Even Si Xuxia found it somewhat coincidental.
"Really? Then maybe you really have seen them!"
Zhou Zixiao stepped forward and took Su Xuxia's arm. "Xuxia, actually I'm quite worried."
Worry?
Si Xuxia looked at Zhou Zixiao, "What are you worried about?"
"I'm worried that my sister won't like me."
Zhou Zixiao was genuinely worried.
After all, Shi Sheng was the apple of the eye of the Si family.
If Shi Sheng says anything bad about her, she's finished.
Hearing Zhou Zixiao's words, Si Xuxia chuckled, "Don't worry, my sister isn't the kind of sister who makes trouble out of nothing. She has a good personality, is beautiful, and you two will definitely get along well."
In Si Xuxia's eyes, Jiang Ning is the best younger sister in the world.
Jiang Ning's appearance also fulfilled all of Si Xuxia's fantasies about having a younger sister.
Zhou Zixiao is a good girl, so she will definitely be able to get along with Jiang Ning.
"Really?" Zhou Zixiao asked.
"of course it's true!"
Zhou Zixiao understood Si Xuxia's character and personality.
Knowing that he doesn't like making empty promises and never lies, since he said Shi Sheng has a good personality, then Shi Sheng's personality must be pretty good too.
As long as Shi Sheng is a normal person, Zhou Zixiao has nothing to worry about.
“Oh, right,” Zhou Zixiao seemed to have thought of something, “I specially brought a gift for your sister. Could you give me your opinion and see if she will like it?”
Si Xuxia was a little surprised, "You even prepared a gift for Shengbao?"
“Of course,” Zhou Zixiao said with a smile, “Your sister is my sister. Your Si family all dote on this sister, so naturally I, as her future sister-in-law, will also hold her in high esteem.”
Si Xuxia was even happier. "Thank you, Zixiao."
"What are you saying!" Zhou Zixiao scolded, then pulled Si Xuxia into the bedroom. "Come and help me take a look, otherwise, I'll be feeling really uneasy."
After entering the bedroom, Zhou Zixiao took out a gift she had prepared in advance from her suitcase.
A designer handbag worth six figures, and a luxury necklace.
The two gifts cost Zhou Zixiao over 200,000 yuan in total.
The Si family is no ordinary family.
Shi Sheng is no ordinary rich young lady. Although she was born in the countryside, she is now the only precious child of the Shi and Si families. Naturally, she cannot just buy something to fool Shi Sheng.
Looking at the gift that Zhou Zixiao had carefully prepared, Si Xuxia was somewhat moved. In Si Xuxia's opinion, this was what it meant to go the distance.
If Zhou Zixiao weren't a good girl, why would she be so thoughtful as to prepare a gift for Jiang Ning?
"Zixiao, Shengbao will be very happy if she receives the gift you carefully prepared for her."
"Really? I was worried my sister wouldn't like it."
“How could I not like her?” Si Xuxia held Zhou Zixiao’s hand. “I told you, Sheng Bao is a rare and wonderful little sister. I believe you two will get along very well.”
“Mm.” Zhou Zixiao nodded.
Si Xuxia raised her hand and glanced at the time on her wristwatch. "It's getting late, I should go back. Shengbao and Grandma are still waiting for me at home."
“Okay.” Zhou Zixiao escorted Si Xuxia to the elevator outside the door.
The elevator stopped on the basement level.
It was a little after 8 p.m.
There weren't many people at the elevator entrance.
Zhou Zixiao hugged Si Xuxia's waist and asked, "Xuxia, after I met your parents this time, will you come back to City A with me to meet my parents?"
Although many people in City A already know that she is dating Si Xuxia, many still don't believe it's true.
Because the Si family of Hong Kong is seen as an unattainable entity by many people.
The Zhou family was only considered an ordinary wealthy family in City A.
Once Si Xuxia returns to City A with him to meet his parents, all the rumors will be dispelled.
“Yes.” Si Xuxia nodded. “After my grandmother and Shengbao’s matter is settled, I will go to City A with you to visit your uncle and aunt.”
Besides attending Madam Si's birthday banquet and Jiang Ning's family reunion banquet, he also had another purpose in returning this time: to finalize his relationship with Zhou Zixiao.
Si Xuxia is a very career-oriented person.
He doesn't have much time for romance, and he's been dating Zhou Zixiao for over half a year. Once things are settled, he'll focus all his energy on his career.
Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Zhou Zixiao was extremely excited. "Okay, Xuxia, it's settled then."
It's extremely difficult for girls from inland China to marry into Hong Kong.
It's almost impossible.
But she did it.
Not only did she succeed, but Si Xuxia also respected her greatly, and in the future, she would likely make him a henpecked husband.
Zhou Zixiao became more and more excited as he thought about it.
Ding.
Just then, the elevator's announcement sounded.
Si Xuxia walked into the elevator. "I'm going back now."
"Okay," Zhou Zixiao continued, "Be careful on the road."
After Si Xuxia left, Zhou Zixiao also returned to his room.
The first thing she did upon returning to her room was to tell Wang Yue that Si Xuxia was going to go back to City A with her to meet her parents.
Upon hearing this, Wang Yue, on the other end of the phone, flashed a look of jealousy in her eyes.
Zhou Zixiao is so lucky!
I went abroad and got to know a big shot like Si Xuxia.
Not only did they start dating, but they also reached the point of discussing marriage.
Although she was quite jealous inside, Wang Yue still smiled and said, "Really? Congratulations, Zixiao."
"Thank you," Zhou Zixiao continued, "After things are settled between me and Xu Xia, I'll introduce you to Xu Xia's other brothers. I heard from Xu Xia that currently only he and Si Xudong have partners in the Si family; the other brothers are all single."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yue was very excited, "Thank you, Zixiao."
She had been lying low by Zhou Zixiao's side for so long, and finally her reward had come.
--
After leaving the hotel, Si Xuxia went directly to the Si family's old residence by car.
Although it's almost 11 p.m., the Si family home is still brightly lit and bustling with activity.
The living room was filled with laughter.
Jiang Ning was sitting on the sofa chatting with Madam Si and her two aunts.
It's unclear what Jiang Ning said, but it made Old Madam Si laugh so happily that her eyes narrowed into slits.
Even Zhao Yunong, who doesn't usually laugh, burst out laughing.
Xue Yingxiang peeled an orange and handed it to Jiang Ning, saying, "Shengbao, you're simply the life of the party in our family!"
Zhao Yunong nodded, "That's right. As soon as Shengbao came, I felt like there were ten more people in our family."
If Jiang Ning weren't the only granddaughter in the Shi family, Zhao Yunong would really want to keep her in Hong Kong.
But Jiang Ning is not only the precious darling of the Si family.
It was also the lifeblood of Old Madam Shi.
Madam Si held her granddaughter's hand, her eyes filled with loving affection.
She couldn't even imagine how gratified her daughter would be if she were still alive and could see all this.
Looking at the harmonious scene in the living room, Si Xuxia's eyes were full of smiles. She took a few steps forward and said, "Grandma, Aunt, Second Aunt, Shengbao, I'm back."
Upon hearing Si Xuxia's voice, everyone looked up.
Jiang Ning stood up from the sofa and walked to Si Xuxia. "Sixth Brother!"
"Sheng Bao!"
As if by magic, Si Xuxia pulled out a little fox doll wearing a pink dress from behind her back, "Look what Sixth Brother brought you."
"It's Nini!" Jiang Ning took the fox plush toy with both hands. "I like this. Thank you, Sixth Brother."
Nini is the main character in a popular animated series.
It is very popular among young people.
Si Xuxia genuinely treated Jiang Ning, her younger sister, like a child, and doted on her.
"And this too." Si Xuxia handed Jiang Ning another gift box, which contained some jewelry.
"Sixth brother, I also have a gift for you. Wait for me a moment."
After saying that, Jiang Ning ran upstairs to her room.
Jiang Ning's room was next to Madam Si's.
A standard princess room decoration.
The color scheme is predominantly pink and white.
She has a very girlish heart; her wardrobe is full of new clothes with tags still on, and her dressing table is covered with unopened skincare products.
These were all arranged by Zhao Yunong and Xue Yingxiang.
Although Jiang Ning doesn't live in Hong Kong often, her sisters-in-law still carefully decorated Jiang Ning's private bedroom, and someone regularly cleans it for her.
After receiving the items, Jiang Ning hurriedly went downstairs.
"Sixth brother, this is for you."
Si Xuxia took the box and asked curiously, "Shengbao, what's inside?"
"Open it and take a look," Jiang Ning said.
Si Xuxia opened the box.
Inside the box lay two emerald cufflinks, elegant and sophisticated, perfectly suited for a successful man like Si Xuxia.
Jiang Ning then asked, "Does Sixth Brother like it?"
"I like it, of course I like it!" Si Xuxia picked up the cufflinks and was about to put them on her cuff when she asked, "Shengbao, how did you know that Sixth Brother was missing a pair of cufflinks?"
Si Xuxia was not lying.
He did want to buy a pair of cufflinks recently, but he was too busy with work and it got delayed.
Moreover, the cufflinks that Jiang Ning gave him were exactly to his liking; he really liked them.
Madam Si smiled and said, "This is the magic of blood ties!"
It is true that family members can understand each other.
At first.
The night before her daughter and son-in-law's family had their accident, Madam Si was so anxious that she couldn't sleep. Later, she realized that it was the feeling of being bound by blood.
After saying that, Madam Si looked at Si Xuxia and continued, "Xuxia, I heard from your aunt and second aunt that you're going to start dating soon and even bring your date home?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yunong, Xue Yingxiang, and Jiang Ning all looked at Si Xuxia with curiosity.
In fact, Si Xuxia's family didn't know much about his relationship; they only knew the basic information.
“Yes, Grandma,” Si Xuxia nodded, “I plan to take her home the day after tomorrow.”
Madam Si then asked, "By the way, what's the little girl's name?"
“Zhou Zixiao,” Si Xuxia replied.
Zhou Zixiao.
Somehow.
Upon hearing the name, Jiang Ning suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.
just like......
Where have I heard that before?
Madam Si then asked, "Is she from City A?"
Si Xuxia nodded, "That's right, Zixiao is a native of City A."
Madam Si smiled and said, "City A is good, City A is quite nice, it's a place with outstanding people and beautiful scenery."
Madam Si really likes City A.
Because her granddaughter grew up in City A, she felt that City A had good feng shui, which is why her granddaughter was raised to be so lively and beautiful.
At this point, Madam Si paused, then changed the subject, "But Xuxia, as you know, Grandma has never been prejudiced by social status. As long as you two truly love each other, Grandma will not interfere with your relationship."
"But the premise of not breaking up the couple is that the girl's family background must be clean and upright. Also, her character and personality must be up to standard. After all, our Si family is a prominent family in Hong Kong. You can't marry a troublemaker who can't stand up to scrutiny."
