Can You Love Me?

Mrs. Jian didn't want to face those people, so she stopped going, so Xin Ai and Jian Zechuan went there together.

When the two went there, there were already many people.

When everyone saw Jian Zechuan coming in with a graceful and beautiful young woman on his arm, they were all curious.

After all, Jian Zechuan has not brought anyone to such an occasion for nearly three years.

Everyone gathered around and came to say hello to Jian Zechuan and wanted to ask who the woman beside him was.

Jian Zechuan was very patient and vaguely proud and said to everyone who asked, "This is my wife Xin Ai."

Everyone was surprised.

If you can tell it from Jian Zechuan's mouth, it must be true. Look at the same couple rings on their hands.

But, when did these two people get married?

A bit too low-key, right?

As for the small group of people who knew about Jian Zechuan's marriage, this was also the first time they met Xin Ai.

Su Xiaoling saw Xin Ai and ran over quickly: "Xin Ai, you two have arrived."

Since Xin Ai got married quickly and lived with Jian Zechuan's family, the two of them rarely saw each other.

And Su Xiaoling has a lot of troubles here.

The two can only chat frequently on WeChat.

Xin Ai looked around: "We are not late, there are many people here today."

"No, everyone came early."

Jian Zechuan said to Su Xiaoling, "It's time for us to see your grandpa."

"Let's go, I'll take you there."

Xin Ai asked Su Xiaoling in a low voice: "Where is Chu Jingzhi..."

Su Xiaoling blushed: "I don't know, I'll be here soon..."

Xin Ai knows that when the two of them are together, they have not blocked love.

However, the two are currently secretly in love and still don't dare to make it public.

Looking at Su Xiaoling's shy look, Xin Ai knew immediately that she was a little woman who was trapped in love and couldn't extricate herself.

Xin Ai planned to secretly chat with Su Xiaoling later while everyone was busy.

Ask them what's going on now, they can't keep sneaking around like this, right?

After meeting Mr. Chu, Jian Zechuan gave the gift to Mr. Chu, then introduced Xin Ai to Mr. Chu, and talked with him for a while. When the next person who came to pay homage to his birthday came, Jian Zechuan left with Xin Ai.

After the birthday banquet officially started, there were more people in the banquet hall.

After all, it's the 80th birthday, and the Chu family is doing a big job this time.

Relatives of the Chu family, friends from the Chu family, former colleagues and subordinates of Mr. Chu, most of the people who came here had unusual status...

This was Xin Ai's first time to attend such a big birthday banquet. Not long after following Jian Zechuan, the corners of his mouth almost froze with laughter.

Everyone came to say hello to Jian Zechuan and then asked her a question.

After a while, Xin Ai's cheeks felt a little sour, so she secretly said to Jian Zechuan: "I'll go aside and find Xiao Ling to be lazy for a while. Can you deal with it yourself first?"

Jian Zechuan smiled and squeezed her hand: "Go and have a rest."

He knew that Xin Ai couldn't hold it any longer. Moreover, she wore a pair of high heels today and her feet might not be able to bear it after standing for a long time.

Xin Ai smiled at Jian Zechuan, then let go of her and ran to find Su Xiaoling.

The two of them nestled in a secluded corner and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Su Xiaoling complained to Xin Ai: "Let me tell you, I actually hate this kind of situation the most. Our family's identity is a bit embarrassing... Even now, Chu Jingzhi's sister doesn't look down upon my mother or me when she sees her."

Xin Ai can understand Su Xiaoling.

His grandmother married Mr. Chu, and they had a sunset wedding. The Chu family was quite powerful in the Ming Dynasty. Everyone in the Chu family must have felt that Su Xiaoling's grandmother was greedy for their family's money and power, and naturally she was even more dissatisfied with the stepmother's daughter and her family. How nice it would be.

But for an occasion like this, it’s impossible not to come.

Therefore, after Su Xiaoling came, she had no familiar friends. When others knew her identity, they would show that strange smile.

Xin Ai comforted Su Xiaoling: "It doesn't matter, just be patient and it will pass. This kind of occasion will pass quickly after we have been together for so many years."

Su Xiaoling held Xin Ai's arm: "But now that you are here, I feel relaxed. Finally, I have someone to talk to. Have you seen Chu Jingzhi's cousins? They make all kinds of sarcastic remarks to me every time they see me." Irony... I really can’t stand them, if my mother hadn’t always told me not to cause trouble when we came here, I would have beaten them up.”

Xin Ai sighed, it seemed that Su Xiaoling's life was not easy in the past.

A relationship like this is indeed a bit complicated.

After the two chatted for a while, Xin Ai asked Su Xiaoling in a low voice: "You and Chu Jingzhi, you two are... that..."

Su Xiaoling sighed: "Now... let's just live like this!"

Xin Ai was a little anxious: "Then you can't always be like this, right? When does sneaking happen? Besides... there is no airtight wall. If someone exposes you, wouldn't it be even more difficult for you two?"

Su Xiaoling held her face: "I know it too. I wanted to tell my mother and grandma several times, but every time I opened my mouth, I didn't dare. I was afraid that our family, which is not very stable to begin with, would If Chu Jingzhi and I get into trouble again... ugh..."

Su Xiaoling sighed again, shook her head, and didn't want to talk anymore.

Xin Ai could understand Su Xiaoling's concerns, "I know your difficulties, but I don't want you to be hurt. Either you tell me about this, or you wait for others to expose it to you. Although the harm of both is not small, the former I feel better."

This complicated situation in Su Xiaoling's family is indeed difficult to handle.

Although her grandmother and Mr. Chu were very harmonious and loving, the children and close relatives below were not friendly to the old lady and her daughter's family.

If something happens again at this time, Su Xiaoling and Chu Jingzhi will be hurt.

One can imagine how much attack the old lady will receive.

At that time, the criticism Chu Jingzhi received was far less than what Su Xiaoling received.

Su Xiaoling must be the one being pointed out by Qian Fu.

"Let's take a look. I'll go back and discuss it with Chu Jingzhi. His dad...over there, he goes to talk to my grandma and my parents. I'll talk to them..."

Su Xiaoling sighed again: "Tell me, why is it so difficult to fall in love?"

Xin Ai patted her shoulder: "It's not that falling in love is difficult, it's the person you fall in love with, but don't be too discouraged. Maybe, after you talk about it, the situation is not as bad as you think."

She pointed to Jian Zechuan in the distance: "Just think about what Jian Zechuan and I were like before. Now... isn't it pretty good?"

Su Xiaoling smiled: "That's true. I was worried about you originally, but I didn't expect that you would get along so well now."

Xin Ai looked at Jian Zechuan with a smile on his face. Yes, she actually didn't expect it to happen so soon.

She thought that it might take a long time for her and Jian Zechuan.
