Eternal Painter Swordsman
181. Xu Man and Meng Rui

This woman was Lady Xu who was a good friend of her Mother and Madam Meng and behind her was a young man with a hat covering his face but even if the hat was covering his face, Xia Xinxin was still holding her breath deeply because it was not that she did not know who was behind that hat even if she was unsure but she had wild speculations related to this young man.

"Did you finally bring your son? " Task Mrs Meng.

"Of course, you always make fun of me for not daring to bring my son and finally when he came back from abroad, I dragged him here. " Say Lady Xu proudly.

"You are sisters-in-law, why should you fight each other like such a child? " Task Madam Xia casually.

In fact, regardless of their current friendship, they are all family. Since they were all brothers, Mother Xia Xinxin was still the cousin of Madam Meng's husband while Lady Xu's husband was the half-brother of Madam Meng's husband.

So actually these were still Xia Xinxin's cousins, it was just that she had never seen them in person all this time since some lived abroad. This made them become close, it was just that Xia Xinxin had some speculation.

When the young man opened his hat, how surprised Xia Xinxin was at meeting this young man even if it was in accordance with his guess. But still, this made him unable to say a word.

Even in this life though, they were still a family that would restrict them. It's just that there are things that are a bit difficult to understand, now in this life they become cousins while in the previous life they were nephews and aunts.

The person behind the hat was Zhou Man, the one who had called him and asked him to become a lover.

"Man'er, introduce yourself to your aunt and cousin. " Say Mrs Xu.

"Hello Aunty and all, I'm Xu Man. It's good to see you today. " Talk the man politely just that from the beginning to the end his gaze was still fixed on Xia Xinxin.

Then they sat face to face which made them look at each other, this of course made Xia Xinxin uncomfortable.

Xia Xinxin pushed back her body and placed her lips against her mother's ears.

"Mother, all cousins. Why should you bring me closer? " Task Xia Xinxin did not accept.

Hearing this made Madam Xia laugh which made everyone turn to them.

"What happened ?" Ask Mrs Meng.

"It turns out Xinxin doesn't know yet, she says if everything is a cousin why should be betrothed to each other. " Sia Xia replied with laughter and other people's jokes.

Xia Xinxin felt ashamed of this and patted her mother's hand while her mother continued to laugh.

"Although all of them are cousins but actually have a distant family relationship and almost no blood ties at all but since they all have a good relationship so we consider each other as cousins and come in big family events but specifically then our bloodline is not close. If you want to get married, it doesn't matter at all. " Say Mrs Xu.

"True, besides that you will not be far away and already know. This will make it easier if you marry each other. Among the three of us, there is only you one female. " Say Mrs Meng told Xia Xinxin .

This made Xia Xinxin bow her head in embarrassment as it turned out that everything was an outer cousin, before she thought that it was a close relationship. It was only fitting that not the entire extended family of his family was known to him, after seeing this possibility made Xia Xinxin understand what a large family meant.

It turns out that the relationship that is owned is broad and wide, if this is so then it is difficult to determine each other.

It was just that for Xia Xinxin, this sort of thing was taboo for her therefore she was vehemently opposed to Jiu Rui after learning that Jiu Rui was her nephew.

Not long before the door opened and showed a handsome man who had a look almost the same as Zhou Man or what is now known as Xu Man.

Seeing who entered today made Xia Xinxin's heart pause for a moment, ever since they met on that rainy night and their last phone, they never communicated with each other again.

Xia Xinxin thought that it would be the last time for her to come into contact with the young man, who would have thought that fate said another and forced her to continuously come into contact with these two people ?

Xia Xinxin herself could not say anything else and simply lowered her head deeply as if she was dizzy.

"Rui'er, you've finally come. I thought that you were going to run away and started to regret not taking you right away. " Said Mrs Meng.

"What are you talking about ? How could I not come ? I promised I would keep it, I was the one who could fulfill what I said. " Reply the young man and turned to him.

It was his other cousin again, Meng Rui.

Xia Xinxin felt suffocated just by sitting here and meeting two crazy people in one room, they did not say what to her.

But, the words on their phone that day. How could Xia Xinxin forget about it ? If he forgot about it so easily then he would have no trouble sleeping because of this.

These two people stared in a horrible way, instead of introducing themselves to the new phone instead of introducing themselves to the old.

Xu Man and Meng Rui, even their names had changed as well. This made Xia Xinxin feel somewhat restrained, especially she herself was also different surname compared to her first self.

The person whose name had not changed since long ago until now there were only two people, namely Ming Yue and the last one was..... Wang Ziqi's. This shows that fate alone supports both of them while he himself still wants to force his way in.

Xia Xinxin laughed incessantly in her heart But hide this matter deeply, if they can only be memories then let it be like that. Maybe this is the best way for the two of them not to hurt each other.

Xia Xinxin thought that she might be too selfish for wanting Ming Yue in two lives while in the first life, Ming Yue had already sacrificed her life to protect her.

Could it....... Ming Yue blamed him for being less capable in her previous life so in this life she was together with Wang Ziqi ? This was not entirely an impossible matter but at the same time he was certain that Ming Yue would not do that.

He was also not a person who could do such a thing since he was a person who would keep his self-esteem high hence he refused to beg just out of love.

So, the conclusion was that he would not snatch Ming Yue away from his current fiancee. Xia Xinxin opened her phone silently in silence and looked for Wang Ziqi's contact.

Then left an ambiguous message to Wang Ziqi.

'It turns out we are distant cousins. It's nice to meet you. ' Xia Xinxin wrote.

There was no reply for a while that made Xia Xinxin somewhat wait, usually Wang Ziqi was an active person and always replied to messages on time but it was a bit strange to not get a reply for a long time.

Xia Xinxin finally turned off her phone and quietly sat down to listen to the conversation.

"You know, this son of mine just returned from England and completed his Masters. " Say Mrs Xu.

"What do you want to be proud of ? My son did that two years ago. " Said Mrs Meng.

"What about Xinxin ? Don't you want to go abroad ?" Ask Madam Xu.

Xia Xinxin was not offended by this and only laughed lightly listening to these actually somewhat offensive words but she was not a person that easily exploded due to the little words.

"It's a pity that I have no interest in education, I don't think education can only be obtained from formal education. It's just, I'm a bored person myself so I don't take a Masters degree. In the meantime myself, I'm already quite satisfied with being able to make quite a bit of money. Because I think in this life the most important thing is to be able to make money, eat comfortably and live casually. " Say Xia Xinxin said calmly.

This made the others speechless while Madam Xia smiled widely and clapped.

"It's true my real daughter. " Say Lady Xia.

Even if Xia Xinxin said a bit of money, it did not mean that it was really a bit true. Plus, if they are all graduates of overseas universities when taking S2.

Xia Xinxin was a graduate of an overseas university from the beginning and also earned a scholarship there in full without paying anything. Anyone acknowledged his ability, if he wanted to then who could stand in his way ?

It was clear Xia Xinxin was behind insinuating them, Xu Man had just returned and did not have any work yet and had almost nothing to produce in this life while Meng Rui had just graduated two years ago.

And just got a job as a manager at a company three months ago, with a salary of about 75 thousand Yuan per month. Compared to Xia Xinxin who made millions with just a painting, of course they could not compare to anything.

Xia Xinxin sat down casually, her head and shoulders held up straight. If anyone wants to humble himself again then just go ahead if there is an ability.

Xia Xinxin smiled widely to her aunt and cousin but what's okay to do, they simply couldn't compare to her. Even in any aspect, he was able to boast then it meant that he had sufficient ability.

Otherwise then she wouldn't have been so bold as to boast about herself while everything had become awkward after Xia Xinxin had said so.

They all laughed awkwardly and could barely say what was well anymore, they wanted to retaliate but indeed their son had yet to make any money.

In addition to seeking knowledge, finding a job is important. But they have not been able to do that and are inferior to girls who are younger than them.

Xia Xinxin raised one leg up on the other so that everyone saw that she was using a very expensive and limited brand, the same brand he used to go to the reunion.

"This month I was earning some small income, I wanted to invite Mom and the aunts to see some dresses from a recently released designer. " Said Xia Xinxin.

"Ha ha ha, how could Xinxin be so devoted to old people ? This old lady must be proud to have a daughter like you. " Mistress Meng replied awkwardly.

"How can this be considered filial ? I just want to build a good relationship with aunt, however before I myself was not close to my own family and it is good to use this opportunity. " Said Xia Xinxin.

"Then can you do it next week ?" Ask Madam Xu.

"Sadly, next week I have my own busyness. I had to go to the United States and deliver the painting and go to a friend's wedding. " Accounted Xia Xinxin.

"I heard that the one getting married is the son of a luxury brand owner ? Is that true ?" Asked Madam Meng surprised.

"True, it was him. It just so happened that she asked me to do her wedding painting and invited me to come to her wedding for a week there. Too bad, if you can then a few more weeks. " Xia Xinxin replied casually.

Everyone was speechless about this even his mother did not know that he was working for Robert, because he did not tell this.

"Let's eat first otherwise our food will get cold first. " Reply Lady Xia.

Everything became awkward because Xia Xinxin had surprised them a few times, Xia Xinxin instead did not want to give them face just that if they were given face then they would definitely not think twice about oppressing others.

Xia Xinxin hated being bullied by others especially this related to her Mother hence she would not grant forgiveness even if it was her Mother's brother.

His mother considers them friends just what kind of friends demean each other like that ? Xia Xinxin was unable to understand this and also refused to understand this kind of thing.

Maybe his mother was used to his friend's attitude like this is also possible because they have been friends for a long time then they are not too sensitive and able to accept the innuendos that are usually thrown between them but, Xia Xinxin was unfamiliar and unable to hear this kind of innuendo calmly.
