Chapter 101 Have You Ever Seen a Thief Live with a Policeman? (1/2)

For Bai Lu to appear in the Xia family, A Miao was not at all surprised.

”We're all family members. No formalities, please!” Xia Haixin called everyone to the table.

A Miao wondered why Xia Mei was not here. And as if she saw her suspicion, Xia Wan took the initiative to say, ”Xia Mei has gone abroad. Her mother's health is not very good. They will not come back for the Spring Festival this year.”

”It is better if that girl is not here, lest she talks all the time.” Yao Lili looked at Xia Haixin with a disgusted expression. ”I didn't speak about the second brother, he can come back alone! How can he not come back for two years? People will say that we dislike him.”

Xia Haixin shot her a glare. ”Speak less.”

”Mom!” Xia wan smiled. ”Eat quickly. Don't you have an appointment to play mahjong later?”

While saying this, she kicked Yao Lili under the table.

Yao Lili gave two quick laughs and did not dare speak again.

”Xinglan, let's invite your father to dinner later!” As soon as Xia Yongqiang opened his mouth, A Miao wanted to spit on his face.

Shen Xinglan put the peeled shrimp into A Miao's bowl and said lightly, ”Yes, if Master Xia sets the time, I will inform him.”

”Youran and Xia Wan will get married this spring. I want to talk to your father about your wedding.” Xia Yongqiang knew that he would not have the opportunity to speak to Shen Xinglan after today, therefore he had to say everything he could.

A Miao gave Xia Yongqiang a blank expression. ”I haven't graduated from college yet, so I can't get married.”

”I won't let you marry immediately; after all, you are younger than Xia Wan. My opinion is there should be an engagement ceremony. The last time...”

Xia Yongqiang did not go on. Everyone here knew that the last engagement banquet was originally held for Shen Xinglan and Xia Wan.

”Hahaha! Grandpa Xia, you are really impatient.” Bai Lu, who had not spoken for a long time, said, ”It takes two people to decide to get married. What if one of them doesn't want to marry?”

She looked at Shen Xinglan and said, ”Am I right?”

”Master Xia, I agree with what you said. Our marriage can wait until A Miao has graduated, but the engagement ceremony does need to be held.” Shen Xinglan grabbed A Miao's hand. ”I don't want to wrong her!”

A Miao was very cooperative by acting a little shy...

”...” Bai Lu almost broke the chopsticks as she stabbed the fish in the bowl to pieces with a black face.

In any case, it was his younger sister. Bai Youran had to open his mouth to help out Bai Lu. ”Lulu, don't worry about it. If you have the time, you should find someone to marry!”

”I have found someone.” Bai Lu smiled and lowered her head.

From the bottom of her heart, Xia Wan really despised Bai Youran's sister, but they all had the same enemy; that is, A Miao. So this time, it was natural to help Bai Lu speak.

”Youran, don't ask in front of so many people, how embarrassing! Everyone, hurry and eat, it will get cold soon.”

Next, Xia Yongqiang kept chatting with Shen Xinglan—a wily old fox and an extremely cruel, merciless one. Nobody had gained an advantage after several rounds.

”So, does the Ji Corp really plan to invest in the reclamation project next year?”

Shen Xinglan lifted the corner of his mouth. ”I'm not sure.”

”Haha, rest assured, I'm not going to touch it. I'm just a little worried. I heard that the government is going to introduce some foreign capital. I'm afraid the bidding amount will double.”

”We'll talk about it then.” Shen Xinglan bowed his head and filled a bowl of soup for A Miao. ”Are you full?”

A Miao nodded. ”If I eat any more, I will vomit.”

Yao Lili beside her rolled her eyes and thought, ”You were really raised uneducated!”

”A Miao, you are now a wealthy housewife. You should also pay attention to how you speak.” Bai Lu could not help speaking again.

Shen Xinglan rubbed her hand. ”I like her to talk like that.”

Bai Lu had a green and white face, and in the end, regardless of the look in Bai Youran's eyes, she threw the chopsticks and left the table.

”She left?” A Miao said suddenly and loudly.

Xia Wan squeezed out a smile. ”Don't argue with her. I'll have Youran talk to her later.”

”No.” Amau shook his head. ”What I meant was, since someone has left the table, then we have to go as well.”

Shen Xinglan nodded slightly. ”It's almost over. A Miao, you make a phone call Shen I in.”

Xia Yongqiang's face was red, but it happened that he could not say anything. Bai Youran had a face full of resentment looking at Shen Xinglan. Xia Haixin wanted to say something to keep them from leaving, but saw A Miao half-smiling, so he shut up.

He was not as shameless as Xia Yongqiang who knew exactly A Miao's attitude to the Xia family but still put up with it.

”A Miao!” As she was leaving, Xia Wan chased after her.

Shen I and Shen II were about to lift Shen Xinglan into the car while A Miao held the car door open and looked at her.

”You ...” Xia Wan said with great determination, ”Be careful of Bai Lu. She has changed into another person since she came back. I think she will definitely not let you go for the sake of Shen Xinglan.”

A Miao smiled. ”These are not like the words that come out of your mouth.”

”In any case, we are bleeding half the same blood. I can't watch you suffer,” Xia Wan said as she moved back a few steps.

A Miao said nothing and turned and got in the car.

”Are you really full?” Shen Xinglan took her hand and put it on his face.

”No.” A Miao curled her lip. ”How could I eat with those people?”

Shen Xinglan kissed her hand. ”We'll go home and eat. Le Yi and Ouyang are waiting.”

”Mmm!” A Miao hugged the cushion. ”Did you hear what Xia Wan said just now?”
