Chapter 60 Adopted Brother

"Mingxia, Nuannuan, do you know each other?"

Chu Mingxia nodded upon hearing Zhao Yalan's question and replied.

“I met Nuannuan before at Beijing University.”

Zhao Yalan was delighted to hear this and took their hands in hers.

"That's good. Since you know each other, I'll entrust Nuannuan to you. Nuannuan is a guest, Mingxia, please take good care of her."

Zhao Yalan pushed Su Nuannuan in front of Chu Mingxia.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. Nuannuan is my friend, and I will definitely take good care of her."

Chu Mingxia assured Zhao Yalan.

Seeing this, Zhao Yalan felt relieved. There were quite a few guests today, and only Aunt Min was the housekeeper. Zhao Yalan was worried that Aunt Min wouldn't be able to handle everything, so she wanted to go and help her out.

Zhao Yalan was initially worried that Su Nuannuan would be too reserved on her own. Now that she knows that Su Nuannuan knows Mingxia, Zhao Yalan is relieved.

After handing Su Nuannuan over to Chu Mingxia, he left first.

"Nuan Nuan, how did you meet my sister-in-law?"

Chu Mingxia was simply curious. Her sister-in-law, despite her seemingly kind exterior, was actually quite difficult to approach. Let alone someone she'd taken home.

Su Nuannuan felt there was nothing to hide, so she recounted how she and Zhao Yalan met on the train. She also mentioned the matter of treating Xu Heyi's son.

Chu Mingxia's mouth dropped open as she looked at Su Nuannuan with adoration.

"So that's why Uncle Xu came today."

Chu Mingzhou, who was standing next to her, also looked at Su Nuannuan.

The three of them were talking in the courtyard, which quickly attracted the attention of the people in the main house.

"Mingxia and Mingzhou are back, come in quickly."

Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingxia, who were talking, heard a crisp voice coming from inside the room.

"Nuan Nuan, that's my mom. Come on, I'll introduce you to her."

After saying that, he pulled Su Nuannuan towards the main house.

Su Nuannuan did not struggle and obediently followed Chu Mingxia.

Chu Mingzhou, watching from behind, frowned as the frail girl was pulled along by her older sister. Finally, he spoke.

"Mingxia, slow down."

Chu Mingxia and Su Nuannuan, who were walking ahead, both stopped in their tracks. Su Nuannuan hadn't expected Chu Mingzhou to speak. He gave off an impression of being aloof and taciturn, and Su Nuannuan had prepared herself for him to remain silent the entire time.

Chu Mingxia was annoyed by how Chu Mingzhou addressed her. She was clearly born two hours earlier than Chu Mingzhou, but he had never called her "sister" from childhood to adulthood. When they were little, he called her "little sister"; when they grew up and learned she was born before him, he called her Mingxia.

“Mingzhou, you should call me sister.”

Chu Mingzhou glanced at Chu Mingxia indifferently, his eyes clearly conveying: No way.

As the older twin, Chu Mingxia immediately understood the meaning in Chu Mingzhou's eyes and stomped her foot in annoyance. However, she still slowed down her pace.

Su Nuannuan, who was originally going to jog to keep up with Chu Mingxia, no longer needed to rush.

She stole a glance at Chu Mingzhou. Clearly, Chu Mingzhou had asked Chu Mingxia to slow down because of her.

He's a handsome young man who seems cold on the outside but is warm on the inside.

Su Nuannuan sighed inwardly, and couldn't help but feel a sense of goodwill towards this aloof boy.

The three entered the main room, where Su Nuannuan saw Xu Heyi and his family. A man and a woman were also with them.

The woman appeared to be in her forties, with short, shoulder-length hair. She wore a crisp Lenin suit and looked remarkably energetic. The man sitting next to her looked to be about the same age, wearing thin-rimmed silver glasses and a Zhongshan suit. He possessed a refined and gentle demeanor, resembling a knowledgeable scholar.

After Chu Mingxia came in, she began to introduce Su Nuannuan to the two of them. "Dad, Mom, her name is Su Nuannuan. She is a friend of Sister Yalan and a student at Beijing University."

The two people were Chu Mingxia and Chu Mingzhou's parents, Chu Wenzhu and Ji Lan. Before Su Nuannuan arrived, Zhao Yalan had already told them about Su Nuannuan and knew about the two of them saving people on the train.

Both of them had a good impression of such a righteous and courageous person. Ji Lan, in particular, felt an even stronger liking for Su Nuannuan when she met her.

"What a beautiful little girl."

Su Nuannuan was dressed very beautifully, small and delicate, looking like a fine porcelain doll. Moreover, this doll had dimples when she smiled, instantly winning Ji Lan's heart.

Feeling Ji Lan's enthusiasm towards her, Su Nuannuan smiled generously.

"Hello, uncles and aunts. These are some local specialties I brought. I hope you won't mind them."

After saying that, he handed the two bags of pastries and the wooden box he was carrying to Ji Lan.

"You're still a student, why are you giving me a gift?"

Upon seeing Su Nuannuan's gift, Ji Lan immediately became unhappy. It wasn't that she was angry with Su Nuannuan herself, but rather that she felt bad about making a student like Su Nuannuan spend money on her.

Knowing what kind of personality her mother had, Chu Mingxia immediately chimed in.

"Mom, Nuannuan has already brought everything. If you feel bad about it, please give her some extra things when she goes back later."

Chu Wenzhu also spoke up.

"Yes, Ah Lan, don't feel guilty."

Like Ji Lan, Chu Wenzhu didn't want Su Nuannuan to spend money. Zhao Yalan had told her that the girl came from Heilongjiang Province, where life was very difficult. While they wouldn't starve, they certainly didn't have much money.

After being comforted by her husband and daughter, Ji Lan greeted Su Nuannuan warmly again.

"Nuan Nuan, just call me Aunt Ji. You don't need to bring anything when you come to my house in the future."

Su Nuannuan knew that Ji Lan was sincere, so she nodded with a smile.

"Aunt Ji, I understand. It's just that it's not appropriate to come empty-handed since it's my first visit."

Chu Mingzhou's eyes fell on the carved wooden box that Su Nuannuan had brought over, a hint of curiosity in them.

After Xu Heyi and the others got to know each other, they stepped forward and greeted him with smiles.

"Comrade Su, do you still remember us?"

Su Nuannuan nodded.

Last time, due to time constraints, Xu Heyi only met Su Nuannuan once. This time, he was finally able to properly thank this young woman. He could still remember the fear he felt that day when he was about to lose his son. If Su Nuannuan and Zhao Yalan hadn't arrived later, his son might really have been gone.

Thinking of this, Xu Heyi's eyes reddened. He blinked and pulled his son behind him closer.

"Comrade Su, this is my son, Xu Xiaotian. Without you, he wouldn't be standing here today. Xiaotian, quickly kneel down and kowtow."

Xu Xiaotian was very obedient. After Xu Heyi finished speaking, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Su Nuannuan.

Su Nuannuan was surprised that Xu Heyi would make his son kneel down before her, and she hurriedly helped Xu Xiaotian up.

"Uncle, please don't do this, I'm scared."

Seeing Su Nuannuan's helpless expression, a smile flashed in Chu Mingzhou's eyes.

In the end, Ji Lan couldn't stand it anymore and rescued Su Nuannuan.

However, Xu Heyi's family genuinely wanted to thank Su Nuannuan. Chu Wenzhu then suggested that Xu Xiaotian recognize Su Nuannuan as his older sister, a suggestion that caught the attention of Xu Heyi's family.

With this title, they could legitimately take care of Su Nuannuan. Chu Wenzhu felt that Su Nuannuan, a young girl, was all alone in Beijing. With Xu Heyi's family by her side, she could find help when she encountered difficulties.

Finally, before Su Nuannuan could even react, she found herself with a godson.
