Xie Xia looked at the r in front of him and pleasantly smiled at him before saying to Wen Gui, "I actually wanted to buy so sandalwood oil and cream for you, Master Wen, but Sister Xifeng had spoken a lot about you. She told that despite being a father and grandfather, you look really young and beautiful. So, I thought that buying those things would only humiliate ."
"And," he chortled before adding, "I have to say that I agree, because you look even younger than I thought. It's a good thing that I didn't bring those useless things or else I would have ruined my image in front of you."
Mo Qiang and her husbands turned to look at Mo Xifeng, who fervently shook her head and said, "I didn't… there was no ti to—" She stopped speaking but everyone understood what she was trying to say.
Their first eting took place in such a rickety manner; how could it be possible for Mo Xifeng to talk about Wen Gui? And if she really did talk about her daddy during that ti, Mo Qiang would have really taken her to the hospital for the sake of getting her daddy issues tested.
She turned to look at her husbands and sighed heavily before saying to them, "I am afraid that your positions are going to be pushed even further down."
No wonder Xie Xia was able to take Mo Xifeng down. This r was really smart. Look at that smooth tongue of his; even Wen Gui, who always had complaints regarding his sons-in-law, was blushing and looked quite satisfied with this new perspective son-in-law of his.
It was because this r knew how to investigate and slowly advance.
Mo Qiang was not far off the mark, as Wen Gui was indeed quite satisfied with Xie Xia. He looked at the r who was praising him and then simperingly smiled before saying to him, "Oh, there you really know how to joke."
"I am not joking, Master Wen," Xie Xia spoke in a serious tone. "I an, look at you. You don't have even a single pore on your skin at your age. If I can maintain myself this well when I am around your age, I will thank the heavens for being so kind to ."
"Aren't you really sweet?" Wen Gui looked really flattered as he stepped aside and said to Xie Xia, "Co on in; the weather is getting colder and warm yourself up a little."
"Would you look at that?" Mo Qiang comnted. "He cleared the first step in a matter of five minutes. Wow. I have to say that I am impressed."
She turned to look at Mo Xifeng and remarked, "You really picked up a gem."
Mo Xifeng didn't know if her sister was teasing her or was genuinely praising her. She looked at the r who was chatting with her daddy as if the two of them were long-lost buddies and had no idea what to feel.
Her sister was right; this r was quite a gem.
Yin Fu and the other two, however, had a sense of crisis while looking at the r who had won over Wen Gui's heart with just his words. They had to admit that Xie Xia was really slick with his words, as he seed to have won the heart of their father-in-law in just a matter of seconds.
"Madam Mo," Xie Xia paused and greeted Mo Yan with a sweet smile on his face and because the r was really polite and careful with his words and even took great efforts to bring and choose gifts for them, there was nothing that Mo Yan could say to him.
She could only look at the smiling r and turn to look at Mo Xifeng with a look of horror on her face. What kind of r did she bring ho? How was she supposed to say anything to him?
It was an old saying that one shouldn't slap a smiling face, so what was she supposed to do with Xie Xia?
Mo Xifeng smiled at her mother; she too had no idea what to say about Xie Xia. The more she looked at him, the more she realised that this r had been eyeing her for a long ti.
Though it was quite touching, Mo Xifeng still felt a bit terrified of him.
Of course, Mo Qiang was an exception to this situation.
She looked at the gift that Xie Xia had brought for her and raised her head before saying to him in a calm voice, "You are really wise and sharp, Mister Xie. To think that you bought such good and suitable gifts for our family without any mistakes."
The r actually brought her an egg of a mutated turkey. She had to admit that she was quite impressed by this r, because even those who had nurous connections couldn't get their hands on this rare treasure.
Xie Xia, of course, understood the underlying aning of Mo Qiang's words but he was not bothered by her taunts. He continued to smile and said to her in a casual voice, "Well, giving gifts that suit the taste of the receiver is proper manner. The director of the orphanage who raised taught that I need to be caring and careful when gifting others."
Though neither Mo Qiang nor Xie Xia said a single rude word, Mo Xifeng suddenly felt sparks flying all over the room, as if sothing had exploded.
"Alright, Mister Xie," Wen Gui looked at Xie Xia and said to him, "You should sit down as well; after all, we need to discuss the matters between you and Xifeng."
Though Wen Gui was quite pleased with the r, he still wanted to test him lest Mo Xifeng brought another Li Li ho.
Xie Xia nodded and then took a seat that was right in front of Mo Yan and Wen Gui. His back was straight and he was looking at the two of them without the slightest hint of worry or fear in his eyes.
When Wen Gui saw the confidence in his eyes, he nodded satisfactorily before saying, "So, Mister Xie. Why do you wish to marry our daughter? Is it because of what happened between the two of you?"
