CHAPTER 52: CHAPTER 52: THE LEMON MONSTER

Qin Xiao possessively kissed Xiao Li’s earlobe before finally speaking, "I don’t care what reason others have to look at you, in any case, I won’t allow others to look at you for too long. You’re mine..."

Xiao Li smiled, "It turns out my dear uncle is a jealous soul!"

Qin Xiao laughed and said, "For you, I can be any kind of soul..."

Xiao Li covered her mouth, laughing straight away. After a while, she finally spoke, "Uncle, do you know how many Wen Families are there in B City?"

Qin Xiao laughed, "That depends on which type of Wen Family you’re talking about.

A family that can rival the Zhen Family is just one, which is the direct line of the Wen Family where Wen Zeyu belongs.

And sister-in-law’s mother comes from a side branch of the Wen Family, such side branches are plenty in B City, with varying statuses.

Besides these, there are many other households with the surname Wen. Why do you ask about this?"

Xiao Li pondered for a moment and said, "Because my mother is also from the Wen Family in B City, but I don’t know which one she comes from."

Qin Xiao was surprised, "Mom is also from B City?"

Qin Xiao was genuinely surprised that Wen Lan was from B City.

Because no one ever mentioned it, and when Wen Lan interacted with them usually, she would sometimes say a few phrases in the dialect of C City, so Qin Xiao had always thought Wen Lan was from C City.

Xiao Li nodded, "Yes, when I was little, I only heard mom say that grandma was from the Wen Family in B City, a scholarly family.

But mom seldom mentioned her grandma’s family, and I’ve never visited her grandma’s family since childhood, and her grandma’s family never visited C City either.

Even when mom passed away, no one from the grandma’s side came, so I don’t know which Wen Family her grandma’s family belongs to.

Actually, I’m very curious, what kind of people are in grandma’s family?

What kind of family can completely cut off contact with their daughter’s family for such a clean break...

Even though grandma’s family is like this, every time mom mentioned them, she always said grandpa and grandma were very good, and uncle was very good too.

I’m really curious what kind of people they are?

Mom used to say that I don’t look like her or dad, but I look like grandma.

Since Wen Zeyu comes from the Wen Family, and I look like his grandma, uncle, do you think it’s possible..."

Qin Xiao said, "You suspect mom is related to Wen Zeyu’s family.

I’ll investigate this. I’ll let you know when I find something."

Xiao Li nodded, "Can you investigate carefully? I’m just curious, but I don’t want any entanglements with them."

Qin Xiao laughed, "Don’t want to acknowledge them?"

Xiao Li shook her head, "It’s not that I don’t want to, but it’s unnecessary.

They haven’t had any contact with our family for so many years, regardless of the reason. It’s probably best not to contact.

Since that’s the case, let’s just maintain this state, no need to break it."

Qin Xiao nodded, "I understand, I’ll make sure the people investigating are cautious."

The two of them chatted for a while longer, then called a servant to stay with Mianmian before they went out to socialize...

When Xiao Li reappeared in the banquet hall, Wen Zeyu wasn’t staring at her all the time. No matter how much he wanted to look, it’s impolite to stare at someone else’s wife like that, so Wen Zeyu restrained himself.

As soon as Wen Xin, who was standing with Xu Fenglian, saw Xiao Li, she came over and led Xiao Li to Xu Fenglian...

Wen Xin smiled and said, "Mom, is she the one you said looks like my second aunt before?"

Xu Fenglian nodded and smiled, "Exactly."

Upon hearing this, Wen Xin held Xiao Li and carefully looked at her, "Then I need to take a closer look. Before, I’ve only heard of second aunt’s reputation, never saw the person..."

Wen Xin once followed Xu Fenglian back to the Wen Family to attend family banquets, but Bai Ruoqing rarely showed up at those banquets, only appearing during meals.

Wen Xin was a younger generation and sat with other younger members during meals, so she never saw Bai Ruoqing face to face.

Could only see her from a distance once or twice, after getting married, Wen Xin didn’t attend family banquets back at home for decades, so naturally, her impression of Bai Ruoqing wasn’t deep...

When Bai Ruoqing passed away, don’t know what her second uncle was thinking, since they didn’t hold a big ceremony, these married daughters didn’t return to attend the funeral, so Wen Xin never saw the portrait either.

With all these factors combined, Wen Xin naturally wasn’t very clear about Bai Ruoqing’s appearance, so she was very surprised just now when her mom said Xiao Li looks like Bai Ruoqing...

Xiao Li heard Wen Xin’s words, smiled faintly and said, "Aunt, you say that, but regardless of how closely you look, I’m not your incredibly talented second aunt!"

Wen Xin laughed, "You don’t need me to look carefully, you’re already more beautiful than a flower..."

The surrounding ladies all laughed upon hearing this.

Qin’s mother came over just as Wen Xin finished her last words, laughing and interrupted, "Oh, Wen Xin, I told you not to always praise Xiao Li, she’s thin-skinned, but you just won’t listen.

Grabbing every chance to praise, if you make my Xiao Li blush, I won’t agree..."

Wen Xin laughed even more, "I’ve never seen someone like you. Others can’t wait for others to praise their child, but you’re the opposite. Someone else praises, and you won’t have it, where’s the logic in that..."

After Wen Xin finished her words, the other ladies also joined in with a couple of joking comments...

For a moment, the atmosphere was exceptionally good.

Amidst laughter and cheerful chat, the banquet ended.

At the Wen Family, Wen Zeyu returned home and stood in the living room, looking at the photo hanging on the wall, gazing at his grandma who smiled so gently in the photo, and suddenly missing her a lot.

As Wen Zeyu was looking, something hit him on the back of his head. He turned to see Wen Jiliang standing behind him with a book...

No need to guess, it was Wen Jiliang who hit him with the book just now...

"Zeyu, missing grandma?" Wen Jiliang said, moving with the book to sit at the redwood tea table on the side...

Wen Zeyu nodded, then followed Wen Jiliang to sit at the table...

Wen Jiliang closed the book and put it aside, then started making tea...

Wen Zeyu watched the tea water being poured back and forth in his dad’s hands, and the rising steam made his vision a bit hazy...

Wen Zeyu said softly, "Dad, today when I went to the banquet and met my Qin second brother’s wife at the Zhen Family, she looked so much like grandma, so much so that I thought it was grandma..."

Wen Jiliang’s hand paused at the words, previously when Wen Zeyu called to say he saw grandma, Wen Jiliang thought he was joking, since this child’s temperament was quite different from most of the Wen Family, very unruly...

Now hearing him say this, there seems to be more to it...

Wen Jiliang poured the tea, handed a cup to Wen Zeyu, and then spoke, "Does she look to be especially alike?"

Wen Zeyu nodded, "Very much so, even my third aunt said she looked alike..."
