Shao Taotao burst into chuckles spontaneously, hearing what Qiao Xuan said. She felt more relaxed as well.
She nodded at Qiao Xuan and answered with a small okay.
The two girls did not make a big move of it, but Yuezheng Ting happened to see that.
Yuezheng Ting not only needed to pretend that she were elegant, but also tried to find some topics to start the conversation. The whole thing was very tiring!
Moreover, Xie Jingrong seemed quite uninterested, and did not seem to have any intention of speaking with her. To top it, her Third Brother disliked her even more.
That made Yuezheng Ting feel rather annoyed. It was quite embarrassing as well.
Since Xie Jingrong did not want to speak with her, and she could not continue to pester him, she glanced at Qiao Xuan and Shao Taotao. “Mrs. Shao, you are on a good term with Ms. Shao. Where are you from? I have never seen you before?!”
Qiao Xuan smiled. “We are just running some small business outside the city. It is quite normal that you have never seen us before, Lady Yuezheng.”
Yuezheng Ting chuckled, and threw a look at Yuezheng Xiao. “You are demeaning yourself, Mrs. Shao. My Third Brother is a very picky person. Ordinary business people do not impress him, let alone be his friends.”
Yuezheng Ting felt increasingly confused.
Her Third Brother was a very picky person and only a few people had managed to become his friends.
If Shao Yunduan were alone here, she might have understood what happened. But Qiao Xuan was a woman and she was here with her brother-in-law and sister-in-law. It looked so strange.
How important did her Third Brother consider the whole family to be? He was treating the whole family to such a huge lunch.
Qiao Xuan continued making up some stories.
At the same time, she showed a surprised look. “That is really nice of Young Master Yuezheng! Well, when Young Master Yuezheng passed by our village, it happened to be raining very heavily. So, he sought shelter under our roof and had a wonderful chat with my husband. We came to the town today and ran into them again, so…”
Yuezheng Xiao let out a sigh of relief upon hearing what Qiao Xuan said.
He immediately reacted. “Mrs. Shao, you are very friendly. You treated us well the other day, and now it is my turn.”
Yuezheng Ting smiled and nodded, losing the interest of speaking with them any more.
She understood that this family did not seem to have the chance of becoming her Third Brother’s friends. Well, they were just being polite with each other.
The long lunch was finally finished, and Shao Yunduan waved them goodbye, leaving with Qiao Xuan and his brother and sister.
Yuezheng Xiao did not have a very happy and easy family either.
Yuezheng Xiao lowered his head slightly in an apologetic way, and did not get up to walk them out.
They had just left when Yuezheng Xiao said to Yuezheng Ting, “You can go home now. I and Brother Xie have other affairs to deal with.
Yuezheng Ting smiled bashfully. “Third Brother, where are you going, take me along too!”
It was okay for women and men to go out together with family accompanying them.
But Yuezheng Xiao did not have any interest in taking her along. He smiled and said, “Girls should not go where we are going.”
Yuezheng Ting got startled, and her face reddened. She could not insiste upon following along. So, she had to pretend as if she knew nothing and smiled. “I… I will go home first, I am leaving now.”
Having said that, she left with her maid.
Yuezheng Xiao let out a sigh of relief and smiled at Xie Jingrong.. “Honestly, Brother Xie, when are you getting married? Don’t be so picky! Just get engaged and marry as soon as possible!”
