The Mind-Read Heiress: From Impostor to Family Favorite-Chapter 453 - 264

Chapter 453: Chapter 264

Chapter 453 -264

“What’s so sudden about it? To say it like that is to act like a stranger. Our families have been friends for generations, and you and Jingxiu are such good friends,”

When it came to her children’s friends, especially those of good character with whom one could share their heart, Su Yang was always very enthusiastic.

“There’s no time like the present, so just come over today. It happens that everyone at home is here today, and adding one more will make it even livelier. Uncle and Auntie have not seen you for such a long time; you absolutely cannot refuse.”

Ji Yuanzhou, unable to decline the hospitality, glanced at Shen Jingxiu, saw his good friend nod, and then said to Su Yang on the other end of the phone:

“Then, Aunt Su, I’ll really have the audacity to come over for a meal.”

Su Yang chuckled lightly: “That settles it, then. Auntie will wait for you guys at home. See you in a bit.”

“Auntie, see you in a bit!”

The call ended quickly and Shen Jingxiu put away his phone and picked up the car keys.

“Let’s go, everyone is at home.”

“Everyone? Your brothers and sisters?” Ji Yuanzhou instinctively thought of the figure he had seen before in the suburbs.

Shen Jingxiu gave an ‘Mm’ of confirmation, but quickly corrected himself.

“Jingcheng is not around; he’s still working in another province.”

Ji Yuanzhou raised an eyebrow: “Is he still doing that old job?”

“Mm.”

Ji Yuanzhou chuckled: “Speaking of which, your family actually seems quite harmonious. Everyone has their own hobbies, and no one is competing with you for the position of family successor.”

Shen Jingxiu asked him back: “Does your family have those issues?”

“Not really, but a few of my uncles and cousins are not the kind to sit back and relax.”

“Isn’t that all in the past now? Your eldest brother has already cleared all the hurdles long ago.”

Ji Yuanzhou nodded: “You reminded me. I need to call my brother and tell him I won’t be home for dinner tonight. I’m heading to Jingxiu’s place.”

Only then did Shen Jingxiu remember to ask: “My mom didn’t interrupt any of your original plans with her enthusiasm, did she?”

“I didn’t have any special plans. Just a simple meal with the family, anytime is fine. But an invitation from Aunt Su like this doesn’t come often.”

Shen Jingxiu chuckled: “As long as you’re willing to come, my mom will always welcome you.”

“Oh? What about you? You wouldn’t welcome me?”

“…” Shen Jingxiu was speechless, “You guess.”

While talking, Ji Yuanzhou’s call got through.

Shen Jingxiu didn’t say anything more.

“…Hello, brother. I’m just letting you know I won’t be home for dinner. I’m going to Jingxiu’s house.”

“…Yes, it’s a bit sudden, I just got off the phone with Aunt Su.”

“…Of course, but it’s too late to go back and get something now. Are you at home?”

“…That’s great, then you arrange it for me. Bring a bottle of wine, and a bunch of fresh flowers.”

“…Alright, thanks, brother. I’ll hang up now.”

Shen Jingxiu: “Actually, you just showing up would be enough, you don’t need to bring those things.”

“If it were you, would you go empty-handed to my place if our positions were swapped today?”

Shen Jingxiu: “Consider what I said retracted.”

“That’s more like it,” Ji Yuanzhou said as he stretched out his hand and put it on Shen Jingxiu’s shoulder, their camaraderie just like in their youth.

“One of these days I’ll invite you over to my place for a meal. My sister saw you that day and told my mom you’ve gotten even more handsome. You have no idea how much she wanted to introduce you to my maternal grandfather’s cousins.”

The words ‘introduce’ and ‘blind date’ now gave Shen Jingxiu a headache just hearing them.

“It sounds like that meal at your place isn’t absolutely necessary.”

Ji Yuanzhou laughed: “If only I had a younger sister, or even if my sister wasn’t married yet, that would work.”

Shen Jingxiu: “…Be careful, or your brother-in-law might break your legs.”

“Haha, it wasn’t me who said it, it was my parents. They said my sister married too early, barely chose and just got married. She should’ve married into the Shen family.”

“Not a problem, aren’t you still single? I also have unmarried cousins, introducing you to them wouldn’t be out of the question.”

“OK, let’s stop this topic right here, I shouldn’t have brought it up. Pretend like I never said anything.”

However, Ji Yuanzhou still squinted his eyes.

What was it with Shen Jingxiu? Looked down on him or what?

He himself had two sisters. If his good friend was really planning on marrying into the Shen family, shouldn’t he be recommending his own sisters?

Why was he suggesting a cousin?

But Ji Yuanzhou didn’t plan to dwell on the topic.

Quickly, they each got into their own cars.

When they arrived at the villa area, a car from the Ji family was already waiting there.

It was Ji Yuanzhou’s family driver, who had come specifically to deliver red wine and fresh flowers to Ji Yuanzhou.

These were the gifts Ji Yuanzhou intended to bring to the Shen family.

Meanwhile.
