Chapter 516

In matters like this, he always had the upper hand.

"My mom asked me to go home; my brother is bringing his girlfriend over, so I should be back quite late today." Shu Xia had just received a notification from Jiang Ye.

It was very sudden; just two days ago, it was said that Shu Xuan's girlfriend was busy these few days and didn't have time, yet today she suddenly had time.

She had been curious about Shu Xuan's girlfriend from the very beginning.

She had time in the afternoon to go find Jiang Nannan; today Sheng An had a movie release tour, and thanks to Jiang Nannan, she had an opportunity to go to the venue.

"Mm, I have some things to do today as well."

The two of them each had things to attend to, and after breakfast ended, Shu Xia tidied up and headed out.

Qiao Muting also left half an hour after Shu Xia.

One hour later.

Shu Xia went to the supermarket and bought a lot of things that Jiang Ye and Shu Xuan liked to eat to bring back.

She came over early because she wanted to help Jiang Ye with the cooking.

Today was the first time Shu Xuan was bringing his girlfriend over, and Jiang Ye was happy, saying she would make at least ten dishes, which had a good meaning—perfection—hoping that Shu Xuan's girlfriend would have a good impression of her as a future mother-in-law.

Shu Xia did not want Jiang Ye to be too tired.

Both mother and daughter were very familiar with the kitchen, and Shu Xia's cooking skills were taught by Jiang Ye; very quickly, as the agreed-upon time approached, the two of them had finished making ten dishes.

After Shu Xia arranged the plates and bowls, she washed and cut the fruit she had bought, and also set out some small cookies that girls liked.

By the time all of this was prepared, it was time.

Following a knock at the door, Shu Xia, who was in the kitchen washing dishes, called out to Jiang Ye, "Mom, someone is knocking; it should be Brother and the others."

"Alright, I'm going to open the door!"

Having changed her clothes, Jiang Ye hurried over to open the door.

She felt more nervous about her son's girlfriend coming over than she had felt when she went to meet the children's father back in the day.

She opened the door.

Jiang Ye immediately raised a kind and charitable smile.

"Auntie," the girl called out gently.

Shu Xuan introduced his girlfriend to Jiang Ye, "Mom, this is my girlfriend, Shen Anran."

"Good, good, good. Anran, treat this place like your own home, don't be reserved at all, come in and sit," Jiang Ye said enthusiastically to Shen Anran.

As Shen Anran came in and changed into slippers, she quietly took in the state of this old house.

It was just as Shu Xuan had described.

Fortunately, it was clean and tidy enough.

There was a table full of dishes, and the coffee table was also set with fruit and cookies; it was clear that Shu Xuan's mother valued her highly.

Hearing sounds from the kitchen, she glanced over.

Shu Xuan followed Shen Anran's gaze toward the kitchen and saw the figure of Shu Xia washing dishes, saying with a smile, "That is my younger sister, Shu Xia."

Shen Anran's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and she nodded with a smile.

After Shu Xia finished washing the last bowl, she wiped her hands dry and took off her apron.

She had been washing dishes just now and couldn't come out to see Shu Xuan's girlfriend, her future sister-in-law.

Now that she was finished, she could come out to take a look.

When she walked out of the kitchen and saw Shen Anran sitting with Shu Xuan, the smile on her lips stiffened imperceptibly for a fleeting moment.

Shen Anran?
