64: Chapter 64 Xu Wei's Classmate
After speaking, the two followed the Waiter inside.
The Waiter, walking in front, pointed toward a window seat on the right and said,
"Handsome Guy and Beautiful Lady, it's that little Handsome Guy, right!"
Following the direction the Waiter was pointing, Xu Wei was a bit surprised.
"Yes."
"Alright, just scan the QR code with your phone to order later."
"I know, I've been here before."
"That's fine, I won't disturb you any further."
After the Waiter left.
The two continued walking toward the window seat.
Seeing his sister and brother-in-law arrive, Xu Jun said to the young girl beside him,
"Qing He, the person my sister is holding is my brother-in-law. I've told you about him before; just address him as I do later."
Although Ye Qinghe was a bit puzzled as to how Sister Weiwei could have a boyfriend after only being away for a few days,
she wasn't foolish enough to ask such a question in front of the man himself.
Seeing the two arrive, Xu Jun quickly pulled his girlfriend up to stand.
"Sister, Brother-in-law."
Ye Qinghe followed her boyfriend and called out,
"Hello, Sister. Hello, Brother-in-law."
Li Luo looked at the young girl and thought she was quite pretty.
It made sense; after all, Wei Wei's brother was quite handsome, and an average-looking girl wouldn't have the courage to pursue him.
Xu Wei, however, spoke up directly.
"Qing He, aren't you working today?"
"I am working, but A Jun told me that you and Brother-in-law were coming back today, so I took some time off."
Hearing this, Xu Wei glared at her brother.
"Why did you bother Qing He while she was working? That's so inconsiderate!"
Xu Jun felt a bit embarrassed after being scolded by his sister.
Seeing her boyfriend like this, Qing He quickly said to Xu Wei,
"Sister, don't blame A Jun. I came over on my own initiative. Besides, the factory isn't busy right now, so it's fine."
Seeing that Qing He had said so, Xu Wei didn't say anything more.
"Husband, this is my brother's girlfriend. How is she? She's quite pretty, right!"
Li Luo nodded.
"She is indeed quite nice."
Upon hearing her sister and brother-in-law praise her beauty, Ye Qinghe quickly smiled.
"Thank you, Sister and Brother-in-law, for the compliment. Please, take a seat!"
After the two sat down, Xu Wei took out her phone to start ordering.
After ordering what she wanted to eat,
"Husband, is there anything you want to eat? Do you want to order yourself, or should I order for you?"
"You can order for me. Just order a few extra portions of beef tripe; order whatever else you think is good."
Xu Wei's eyes lit up.
"Husband, do you like beef tripe too? It's always my favorite when eating hot pot."
"It's just that one plate is too little, only a few pieces. It's never enough to eat, and it's ridiculously expensive."
That was the truth; the beef tripe in hot pot restaurants is just a few pieces on top with ice underneath.
When Li Luo used to go to buffets, the beef tripe was like it was free; the Waiter would bring it out in basins.
He really couldn't understand why it was so expensive, or how it differed from the hot pot restaurant's version.
After Xu Wei finished, she handed the phone to her brother.
"You order some things you like to eat."
Xiao Jun took the phone, looked at it, and said with some confusion,
"Sister, didn't you order too much? There are only four of us!"
"It's not too much. Your sister's two classmates are in the restroom. Why else would I have ordered so much!"
Xu Jun suddenly understood. He followed up by ordering a few more dishes and handed the phone back. He had already ordered for his girlfriend, so she didn't even need to look.
After Xu Wei placed the order,
and was just about to put her phone away,
Buzz! Buzz!
She picked up her phone and took a look.
"Yuqing Baby: Ni Zi, are you up yet? Come over for a meal."
"Wei Wei: Darling, I've returned to my hometown. I'll be back in a few days. I left in such a rush that I didn't tell you; I'm sorry."
"Yuqing Baby: It's okay. How is your mom doing now?"
"Wei Wei: It's not a major problem anymore. She'll have surgery in a couple of days."
"Yuqing Baby: That's good. You can breathe a sigh of relief now. Did you go back by yourself?"
"Wei Wei: No, my husband came with me."
"Yuqing Baby: Wow, already calling him husband? It seems Li Luo has trained you quite well!"
"Wei Wei: No way, I'm shy."
"Yuqing Baby: Alright, since you're in your hometown, I won't disturb you. Remember to let me know when you get back."
"Wei Wei: Okay Darling, bye-bye."
"Yuqing Baby: Bye-bye."
Li Luo saw her constantly looking down at her phone sending messages and asked curiously,
"Who is it? You're chatting so intently."
Xu Wei picked up her phone and waved it.
"Your Old Classmate invited me over for a meal. I told her I was in my hometown, and she said to let her know when I get back."
Li Luo heard this and added,
"Next time we go back, we'll go out for a big meal together."
"Okay, Husband."
Li Luo saw that the Waiter had started serving the food, so he looked at her and said,
"Wei Wei, aren't your classmates done yet?"
Xu Wei looked back a few times, then stood up and waved her hand.
"Xiao Nan, Ruoni, over here."
After saying that, she sat down and smiled at him.
"Aren't they here now?"
After the two arrived and sat down, Xu Wei introduced them to her two classmates.
"Xiao Nan, Ruoni, this is my brother Xu Jun and his girlfriend Ye Qinghe."
Xu Jun and Ye Qinghe called out,
"Hello, Sisters."
The Two Women also politely replied,
"Hello to you too."
After all, since they were here for a free meal, they still needed to maintain basic manners.
Once the hot pot base began to boil, they all started swishing various meats and vegetables.
Xu Wei had just finished blanching two pieces of beef tripe, blew on them to cool them down a bit, and held them to his mouth.
"Husband, taste this and see how it is."
The other four, especially Xu Jun and Ye Qinghe, seeing her like this, thought to themselves: Is my sister really this obedient in front of this man?
As for her two Old Classmates, they thought it was only natural; who wouldn't treat such a rich man like a treasure?
Li Luo chewed a few times; the taste was indeed quite good.
"It's alright. You should eat too! I'm not some Young Master."
Xu Wei smiled upon hearing this and didn't say anything.
She still placed most of the cooked food into Li Luo's bowl.
Halfway through the meal, Gu Xiaonan initiated the conversation.
"Wei Wei, are you in the Jiangning now?"
Xu Wei was stunned.
"How did you know?"
"I saw that your husband's temporary license plate was from the Jiangning, so I guessed you must be in the Jiangning."
Xu Wei suddenly realized.
"Yes, we've been in the Jiangning the whole time, and we only just came back today."
Zhang Ruoni thought for a moment and said,
"Wei Wei, I heard from some classmates that your mom is sick, is that right?"
After speaking, she was afraid she might be misunderstood, so she quickly explained,
"I'm just a bit curious! I don't mean anything else by it. If you don't want to talk about it, just pretend I didn't ask."
Xu Wei smiled lightly.
"It's fine, there's nothing that can't be said. My mom is indeed sick, but she's getting better. I came back with my husband these past few days just to help handle my mom's medical situation."
The Two Women looked at each other, and Gu Xiaonan said with pleasant surprise,
"That's really great. It's a huge blessing that your mother is recovering."
Xu Wei also said with a face full of smiles,
"Yes, all of this is thanks to my husband."
The two tacitly understood not to continue asking; it was best to let such matters rest at that point.
"Wei Wei, let's add you on WeChat; we'll pull you into the classmate group chat later."
"They were just saying a couple of days ago that they planned to have a get-together for the classmates still in the Location within the next few days. You can come if you have time then!"
