Chapter 773 What kind of person is this girl?
Nan Sheng came back to her senses, waved her hands, and smiled at Xu Jia: "Your parents are too polite."
"That's not it. It's the jadeite I saw before. My mother knew you liked it, so she asked me to bring it here." Xu Jia said it appropriately.
Nan Sheng would not take the younger generation's things.
But it is customary for peers to reciprocate, so Nan Sheng did not refuse.
Nan Sheng still knows this bit of social etiquette.
"Since we're here, let's eat together. It will be more lively with more people and won't be awkward." Nan Sheng responded.
"A lot of people? Zhou Yi brought Wen Ning back?" Xu Jia looked at Nan Sheng calmly.
Nan Sheng was surprised: "Jia Jia, do you know her name is Wen Ning?"
Xu Jia smiled and said, "I know. Zhou Yi brought him out before when we were in New York, so we've met before."
Xu Jia's words immediately piqued Nan Sheng's interest.
"Come on, tell your aunt what kind of person this girl is?" Nan Sheng took Xu Jia's hand and sat down on the sofa beside them.
Xu Jia was very open and sat on the sofa with Nan Sheng.
"If I remember correctly, her name is Wen Ning. She has a gentle personality and seems very polite. Although she is not a glamorous type, she is very likable."
"She doesn't talk much, is very quiet, and is very well-behaved. She should be a good match for Zhou Yi."
What Xu Jia said was very objective.
How could Nan Sheng be satisfied with all this?
After all, he was going to meet his future wife, so Nan Sheng wanted to know more about her to avoid any mistakes.
"Do you know where she came from?" Nan Sheng continued to ask.
"I'm not entirely sure about this, but I have a vague idea that Zhou Yi brought her to Boston to study. It seems her parents were gamblers and had squandered all their wealth. She also had a younger brother. She wasn't favored at home, and they wanted to sell her off to pay off their gambling debts. It was probably around that time that Zhou Yi met Wen Ning, and he helped her pay off her debts and brought her to Boston."
What Xu Jia said was true. She still smiled at Nan Sheng and said, "Auntie, please don't say I said it, otherwise Zhou Yi will definitely scold me to death."
Nan Sheng was really surprised. She didn't expect that Wen Ning's parents were actually gamblers.
Such gambling-addicted parents even sold their own daughter.
Nan Sheng felt an indescribable heartache for Wen Ning, but also a little uncomfortable.
Although she had no intention of finding a wife of equal status, at least she had a clean background. She was afraid that such a gambler would have the greatest impact on Zhou Yi.
Because no matter what, they are Wen Ning's parents.
Thinking about it, Nan Sheng frowned slightly and looked at Xu Jia again: "What else do you know? Tell Auntie. Auntie won't tell Zhou Yi. At least Auntie has a bottom line. Now Zhou Yi refuses to tell Auntie anything."
"I don't know much else. After all, Wen Ning and I rarely interact. The only time we did was a few days ago when Zhou Yi got into a car accident. Wen Ning called and I told him about it."
Xu Jia spoke slowly and calmly, neither hurriedly nor impatiently.
"Maybe Zhou Yi was anxious to be discharged because he was afraid Wen Ning would worry. But a broken bone isn't a big deal. Zhou Yi has experienced this a lot during training before. As long as he can handle it, it's fine. So, don't worry too much, Auntie."
Xu Jia finished speaking with a smile.
Xu Jia was smiling throughout the whole process, it was just a normal chat.
But seeing Nan Sheng's slightly furrowed brows, Xu Jia probably knew that his words had worked.
Nan Sheng is soft-hearted. As long as she is innocent, she will feel sorry for people with such a background.
But if Wen Ning affects Zhou Yi, Nan Sheng may not be happy.
After all, Zhou Yi is Nan Sheng’s son, so his mother still considers her own son as the standard.
"Okay." Nan Sheng nodded.
Xu Jia didn't say anything either.
The housekeeper had already walked in from outside: "Madam, the young master is back."
Nan Sheng nodded and then stood up.
Song Xiao walked down from the study, glanced at Xu Jia, and just nodded.
Xu Jia stood aside cleverly and called out to Song Xiao, "Hello, Uncle Song."
Song Xiao didn't say anything.
As for Xu Jia, Song Xiao can’t say that he likes her, but he can’t say that he hates her either.
She knows how to advance and retreat appropriately, like a standard socialite.
The difference between Xu Jia and other socialites is that she is not someone who just sits there and waits for food and clothes to be provided for her, but has her own career.
In this regard, it is truly impressive.
But a girl like this is also very thoughtful.
When Song Xiao came down, he basically heard what he had said to Nan Sheng before.
There is no sarcasm or slander, but it can still make people feel resentful.
Song Xiao didn't say anything in public.
Soon, the couple reached the door.
Zhou Yi took Wen Ning's hand and walked towards the Song family's gate. Wen Ning's heart beat faster with every step.
On the way, Zhou Yi talked about Nan Sheng and Song Xiao. Wen Ning could actually find out what happened between them by looking for previous reports.
She thought, probably it wouldn't be difficult to get along with him.
But Wen Ning couldn't suppress this uneasy premonition.
The closer I get, the more frightened I become.
"Relax." Zhou Yi coaxed in a low voice.
He held Wen Ning's hand tightly.
Wen Ning probably calmed down gradually under such comfort, but didn't say anything.
Soon, the two arrived at the Song family's gate, and Nan Sheng and Song Xiao were standing at the door.
When Nan Sheng saw Wen Ning, she was still smiling: "Wen Ning, Zhou Yi finally brought you back."
"Hello, Auntie." Wen Ning called politely.
The calmness on the surface cannot stop the accelerated heartbeat inside.
Nan Sheng was still smiling: "Come in quickly, the housekeeper has prepared dinner. I don't know if you like it."
"I'm not picky." Wen Ning responded.
Nan Sheng nodded, walked ahead, and chatted with Wen Ning.
Whatever Nan Sheng asked, Wen Ning answered.
There were questions and answers, and it seemed like everyone was having a great time.
Just as Zhou Yi said, there is really no need for Wen Ning to actively think of topics, Nan Sheng can always guide you to talk.
Under such circumstances, Wen Ning also relaxed slightly.
Nan Sheng only asked superficial questions and didn't get to the bottom of things.
Wen Ning handled it with ease.
But she was very clear about Wen Ning's family background, which showed that he was marrying above his station.
Even though Nan Sheng didn't mention it, Wen Ning could sense it between the lines. No one would like to have parents who gamble.
The Wen family owed quite a lot of debts back then.
Zhou Yi paid off all the debts.
Also, Wen Ning was still underage when he followed Zhou Yi, so he would always be gossiped about.
Before coming, Wen Ning actually asked Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi simply asked Wen Ning to choose what he wanted to say and leave out the things he didn't want to say vaguely.
But obviously, Wen Ning is not a lying player.
Nan Sheng was much older than Wen Ning and knew how to ask the questions she wanted.
