“These are all my old classmates. When they heard I was in the provincial capital, they all rushed over to see me!”
After saying this, Su Baihe’s face was full of excitement, while Zhang Xiulan began sizing up Xu Fei.
“So this is the future son-in-law you mentioned? He’s quite handsome, but I wonder about his family background…”
Hearing the other party bring up the same old topic again, Xu Fei sighed inwardly, thinking how shameless these people were. He was just pretending to be a boyfriend, and now he was being referred to as the future son-in-law.
But on the other hand, he found it all quite troublesome and quickly interrupted.
“Aunties, you haven’t eaten yet, right? I’ve already made arrangements. Follow me!”
As they walked, Wang Zhixian deliberately held onto Xu Fei, and the two of them slowed down.
“When did you make arrangements?”
“I had no choice!”
“What should we do then?”
“Don’t worry, I’ve got it covered!”
Originally, Xu Fei had planned to take everyone to a hotel for dinner, but he immediately noticed Zhang Xiulan, who loved to nitpick and cause trouble.
To silence the crowd and to satisfy Wang Zhixian’s mother, he decided to change the location.
Otherwise, if this woman ruined the atmosphere, all the efforts Xu Fei and Wang Zhixian had made earlier would be wasted!
Since there were so many people, Xu Fei also called an additional taxi, and the group continued on their way.
“Driver, take us to Jinheyuan!”
Somehow, the taxi ended up carrying Su Baihe and her classmates.
“Jinheyuan? Ma’am, are you from out of town? Without a prior reservation, you can’t get into Jinheyuan!”
After the driver said this, Zhang Xiulan quickly chimed in.
“Oh, right, right! I remember Jinheyuan. My son-in-law took me there once last year. Even the cheapest table requires a reservation at least half a month in advance!”
“Baihe, you’re not going to make us wait there, are you?”
Seeing everyone’s questions, Su Baihe’s face turned red.
“Driver, hurry up and follow that Audi in front!”
Xu Fei, driving the Audi, soon arrived near Jinheyuan.
As soon as he parked, he saw a security guard walking out of a pavilion across the street.
“Sir, the parking here is full!”
Hearing this, Xu Fei was momentarily stunned, then smiled.
“I’m not here to park; I’m here to eat!”
To his surprise, the security guard also smiled.
“To eat? That’s even more impossible. Reservations here are booked until next month. Do you have a reservation?”
“No.”
Xu Fei answered honestly.
“Then please turn back. Don’t waste your time; it’s quite hot today!”
By now, Su Baihe and Zhang Xiulan had gotten out of the taxi. Seeing Xu Fei standing there without moving, they came over to ask.
“What’s wrong, Xiaofei? Is there a problem?”
Su Baihe spoke politely, after all, Xu Fei might be her future son-in-law. However, Zhang Xiulan was different.
“Baihe, don’t try to act tough. If it’s not working out, just change the location, and maybe have your daughter find a new boyfriend while you’re at it!”
In truth, even if Zhang Xiulan hadn’t said it out loud, Xu Fei could already sense her thoughts.
