In the evening, the Xu family was already sitting around the dining table to prepare for meals.

The maid at home on one side of the dining table was serving dishes and pouring wine.

Xu Xilin sat at one end of the dining table, raised his wrist to look at the time, and glanced at the empty seat.

Today is Meng Xiaobei’s first time entering the Xu family, and this meal is also a family reunion dinner in a sense.

The Xu family is a noble family in Nandu. Since the generation of grandfather, they are considered a wealthy family in Nandu.

Xu Xilin is just in his early fifties this year. He is not as rich as an ordinary person. He still has some of his youthful character, steady behavior, gentle and elegant, with his parents and strong eyes inadvertently revealing a bit of sharpness that has been immersed in the business world.

Zhao Muqing smiled to ease the atmosphere: "Xiao Bei just called me, and she is already on the way back and will arrive soon."

Xu Xilin nodded with a gentle expression, "No hurry, there is time."

His wife Zhao Minzhi glanced at the empty seat and couldn't sit still. She was holding a small cup tightly in her hand, her face gloomy.

Xu Xilin is the leader of the Xu family. As long as he doesn't speak, almost no one dares to express any dissatisfaction.

Zhao Minzhi wanted Meng Xiaobei to have a good impression in front of Xu Xilin. She reminded Meng Xiaobei more than once that she should restrain herself when she arrived at the Xu family and perform well.

But, this is the first day..., alas.

Xu Jiayin sat upright at the dining table gently. Although she was sitting, she looked like a standard lady from any angle. There was a hint of arrogance that was inconspicuously hang on the corner of her mouth that was inconsistent with her appearance and disagreement.

Xu Haoning lowered his head and flipped through his cell phone. Xu Xilin had given him a vaccination a few days ago. He naturally knew that Meng Xiaobei existed, but this poorly-known "sister" did not arouse much interest.

The people in the room had their own thoughts and didn't say much. It was not until Meng Xiaobei returned with a tired look that the atmosphere suddenly eased.

"Sorry, I'm late." Meng Xiaobei looked at everyone apologetically, and then calmly sat down in the reserved seat for himself.

The servant quickly handed over the warm wet wipes, Meng Xiaobei took them and wiped his hands.

"It's nothing. Today is special, and I'll get used to it later." Xu Xilin looked at Meng Xiaobei and showed as good affinity as possible.

Xu Jiayin secretly looked at Meng Xiaobei's face, then withdrew her gaze very plainly. The other party leaned unruly on the chair. After glanced at the people present, he never looked at her again. He fiddled with her cell phone in his hand, and a picture of Bluetooth was hanging on his ears. In his dull expression, he was about to emerge.

Xu Haoning also looked at this sister who fell from the sky slightly.

The other party lowered his eyebrows and eyes. From the angle of Xu Haoning, he happened to see her beautiful side face, her curly eyelashes drooped, and sometimes he flashed a few times as a lively as a dragonfly.

Feeling the gaze coming from his side, Meng Xiaobei slowly turned his head.

Holding a face that captivates all living beings, with dark and clear eyes, calm and indifferent, completely different from Zhao Minzhi's anxiety.

With eyes facing each other, Xu Haoning paused slightly, then curled the corners of his mouth and expressed his kindness with a smile.

It's so beautiful, I can't tell it was produced by Lei Gongling.

Zhao Minzhi keenly captured this scene and was secretly happy. Meng Xiaobei looked really unspeakable. If she could win the favor of the Xu family, her position in the Xu family would be higher in the future.

After all, no matter how outstanding Xu Jiayin is, she will still have to get married in the future.

The nanny soon served the dinner.

While having dinner, Xu Xilin looked at Meng Xiaobei, thought for a while, and said, "Xiaobei, from now on, we will be a family."

Meng Xiaobei raised her head and said nothing.

Xu Xilin looked at her and continued, "I have agreed with your grandfather and will take you to Nandu Middle School for an interview tomorrow."

"Well," Meng Xiaobei nodded, with no expression on her face. Resuming school was one of the conditions she promised her grandfather.

After Xu Xilin said this, the atmosphere at the dinner table changed somewhat subtly.

Xu Jiayin paused with the hand of the dish, turned her head and looked at Meng Xiaobei, with a smile on her face, "Nanzhong? Can she get in the key high school in the city?" Of course, she didn't dare to say this.

She had long heard of Meng Xiaobei's deeds. She had stumbled on school, skipped classes, fought, and dropped out of school. She had occupied all of them. How dare she agree to go to Nanzhong like this?

Even Lin's mother, who was standing aside and waiting, couldn't help but glance at Meng Xiaobei, and the mockery in her eyes was self-evident.

In just a moment, it was hidden and returned to normal.

Tsk, I really don’t know the world is high and there is no self-knowledge at all.

Zhao Muqing looked happy, looked at Meng Xiaobei, and signaled her to thank Xu Xilin.

Meng Xiaobei put down his chopsticks and looked at Xu Xilin, his tone was neither humble nor arrogant: "Thank you, I have thought about it, I decided to go to No. 3 Middle School."

Upon hearing this, Xu Jiayin almost spit out a mouthful of food, "No. 3 Middle School, the same school as me?"

As we all know, No. 3 Middle School is the strongest high school in Nandu. The key is no. 1. It is famously difficult to enter. The students in it are admitted to each school with the best choice. They are basically all top students. Many people can't even get in if they sharpen their heads.

Xu Haoning couldn't help but raise his head and glance at her more.

Xu Xilin looked surprised and wanted to say it was unlikely, but he still spoke gently: "The principal of Nanzhong is familiar with me, and I am sure that I can let you in. The third middle school... is difficult to say."

"I know, but I still think it's better to go to No. 3 Middle School." Meng Xiaobei still had a expressionless face and his tone was calm.

"Shu," Xu Jiayin couldn't help but laugh.

Then he covered his mouth and obediently stopped talking.

Who doesn’t know about the Xu family? Xu Jiayin is the school beauty of No. 3 Middle School and is among the top students in the third grade of high school. Her name can be found in every major exam.

Zhao Minzhi's face was stiff, Meng Xiaobei's grades were so bad that she couldn't say it. She was thankful that she could have a decent school to study, but she was still picky.

Is it so easy to get into No. 3 Middle School? Zhao Minzhi secretly scolded her for not knowing the world, but she was still anxious for her. If she hit a nail, she would turn around and beg Xu Xilin again. She would be very embarrassed and would be ridiculed by the Xu family.

Zhao Minzhi seemed to remember something, "Xiao Bei, I remember you seem to have a good painting?"

Meng Xiaobei was holding a big prawn in his hand, lowering his head and peeling the shrimp shell carefully, with a casual look and didn't raise his eyelids, as if he hadn't heard Zhao Minzhi's question just now.

Zhao Minzhi held her breath in her chest, and Xu Xilin looked over with a look.

She held back her anger and swallowed the words she was about to teach Meng Xiaobei a lesson.

Meng Xiaobei's posture was really not very particular. She leaned on the back of the chair, placed her hands on the dining table and was busy peeling shrimps. One leg was casually placed on the other leg, seven points unruly and three points arrogant.

After peeling the shrimp in his hand, Meng Xiaobei raised his eyes.

When Xu Haoning heard that Meng Xiaobei was painting well, he turned his head to look at her.

Then he heard Meng Xiaobei speak casually: "Draw?"

When she mentioned this, she stood up and leaned against the back of the chair, chuckled a few times, her voice was dull, and she was cold and a little tired, "That......, right? I can't draw."

"How could it be? Haven't you liked painting since you were a child?" Zhao Minzhi was surprised again. She really knew very little about this daughter. "I remember giving you an extra training fee every year. Teacher Ma said that you have good talent in this area..."

"Oh, I like a lot of things," Meng Xiaobei slowly pumped the shrimp thread. "I fought with Teacher Ma. After he had a concussion, the training class was closed."

A light sentence, like a bomb, was unable to react to the ground.

What a look and tone of slack.

The people at the dinner table looked at each other, and there was a strange color in the silent atmosphere.
