Chapter 387: Several families are happy and some are sad
After Xia Yu and Chen Yan left, Wu Mei asked Xia Mingde, "Husband, what do you think of this Young Master Yan?"
It’s not that Wu Mei is sensitive. She came here with so many expensive gifts on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and she is really just talking about business with them? Their Ruyikao chain store is open all over the country and has been actively expanding overseas markets in the past two years.
The business is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more businesses are working with them. Although Wu Mei has been behind the scenes, she has also attended many big occasions with Xia Mingde.
She has never seen anyone who does business like the Shen family.
"I have a good person. Although many people have had negative comments about him before, I have been in contact with him several times. He is a person who does big things. My daughter should be fine with him." Although I have only had one or two contacts with Chen Yan, and each time is not too long, he left a very good impression on Xia Mingde.
"It's okay to work together, how about living together?" Wu Mei asked carefully.
Xia Mingde was about to kill the fish, but after hearing his wife's words, his hand slipped and the fish fell into the pool. Since the fish was alive and there was no water in the pool, it thrust twice inside and jumped to the ground.
Xia Mingde reacted and quickly bent down and lowered his head, picked up the fish, put it in the pool, and then put some water into the pool, so that the fish stopped jumping out.
"This is unlikely." Xia Mingde wiped the water droplets on the counter with a rag. He had only seen Chen Yan for a while. He had no reason not to let him know if he was really dating their daughter.
"Then how do you explain? He came here on the first day of the Lunar New Year and brought so many gifts, and the whole family had gifts?" Wu Mei was not groundless. She thought that it was true that it was strange.
Especially when it comes to her daughter, she said that a friend is coming. Since Chen Yan and she are just ordinary superiors and subordinates, she said directly that our president just wants to be a guest at home, so why are you doing such a big bend?
Don’t say, my wife’s words make sense. Xia Mingde didn’t pay attention at that time. Now when his wife reminded him, he felt that Chen Yan was indeed a little strange, “If you really are dating, just follow them. Xiaoyu is so big, and it’s her own business. Could it be that you still have to make the decision?”
"Husband, you have this attitude. The Shen family's child is still as talented as ours, Xiaoyu, but this child is fickle. Didn't it be long ago that his illegitimate son is several years old?" Wu Mei was not as good as Xia Mingde's. Although she dared not say that she is richer than the Shen family, their family's money is enough for her daughter to live her life without worries about food and clothing.
She just wants her daughter to find someone she truly loves, and she can live her life in a simple way. The Shen family is rich and glorious, but the wealthy family has many troubles. Their daughter has been stubborn since childhood, and she is really afraid that she will not be restrained.
"Didn't it be said that the child's mother was arranged by Mr. Mo to frame him?" Of course, Xia Mingde also heard about such a sensation.
"That's how people worry. You don't know the temper of Xiaoyu in our family. You can't tolerate a little sand in your eyes. How can the Shen family's family suit her?" Wu Mei was really worried.
"What you said is not unreasonable, but as you said, they are indeed dating. You don't know your daughter's temper. If she is unhappy, she will come and not go home for another five years. What do you think?" Xia Mingde also had his own worries.
His worries were also what Wu Mei was worried about, but if they dating, would her daughter regret it in the future?
Seeing that his wife didn't speak, Xia Mingde said, "With my understanding of Chen Yan, he is not as unbearable as the gossip magazine says. Why would you let them date first?"
"If he was like his brother, we Xiaoyu would be sad because of our hearts?" Wu Mei knew about Wu Shiyu's dating with Chen Mo. Everyone said that Chen Mo was a good man, but Wu Mei didn't see that.
"I think these two young masters are more responsible than the eldest. Since he came here without knowing that Xiaoyu is our daughter, it means that he still has feelings for Xiaoyu. Why not just take a look first?" Xia Mingde solicited his wife's opinion aside.
It seems that this is the only way. No matter what, Chen Yan is a guest, and they must be well treated. The couple are busy in the kitchen.
Xia Yu and Chen Yan came back, and they had two dishes that they had not finished. Xia Yu took Chen Yan to set off fireworks in the yard. She was really childish and smiled innocently, which was completely different from the office.
The fireworks were soon set off, and there was a brief joy. Xia Yu's eyes fell, while Chen Yan was still standing not far away from her, looking down at her with a smile, with a clear sense of satisfaction on his face, as if he had just watched an extremely exciting drama.
The two looked at each other for a distance, until the emotions in Xia Yu's eyes subsided, Chen Yan walked over with the cigarette in his mouth and walked to Xia Yu. He looked at the white breath exhaled from her mouth, the tip of the nose and black eyes exposed from the thick scarf, and suddenly pulled his lips and smiled, trampling the cigarette out.
"It's so cold, come into the house!" He reached out and held her hand.
Xia Yu was a little helpless, but before she could react, Chen Yan held her hand and walked towards the living room. After shook it a few times, he did not shake it away, so he had to follow him inside.
I took a deep breath and forgot it, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, so I should be calmer.
I happened to meet Wu Mei in the living room. When I saw them holding hands, I didn’t react much. I just smiled faintly and said, “Prepare to have a meal.”
My mother didn't see them holding hands? Xia Yu was stunned for a while before saying, "Okay!"
Chen Yan's lips curled up a beautiful curve. Is this acquiescent? The heart that had been worried for a few hours suddenly fell down and hurriedly said, "Auntie, I'll help you."
"No, you can drink with your Uncle Xia first and let Xiaoyu help me." Wu Mei smiled at Chen Yan, then waved to Xia Yu, "Come here to serve me with the food."
"Oh!" Xia Yu agreed, and went to the kitchen with her mother, stood behind her for a while before saying, "I didn't mean to hide it from you, I really didn't find a chance to tell you."
"You are not young anymore. As long as you think it's appropriate, what else can mom say?" Wu Mei saw that her daughter was a little at a loss, turned around and took her hand and smiled.
"Mom, are you agreeing?" Xia Yu couldn't believe it. Why was she so easy to talk to? Is the person in front of her his mother?
"Look at you're so happy. It seems that you really like the child of the Shen family." Wu Mei patted her hands.
"I'm that obvious?"
“It’s quite obvious.”
Xia Yu laughed when she was teased by her mother, "Mom, you don't know. He was worried for the afternoon, afraid that you would not agree."
"Haha, the second son of the Shen family will also be worried?" Wu Mei shook her head.
Xia Yu said this awkwardly, "Mom, how did you speak? Are I a bad daughter?"
Wu Mei also smiled, "How come my daughter is bad? It is his blessing to marry my daughter. Okay, let's serve the food."
It seems that my husband is right. When my daughter is grown up, she will decide her own affairs.
Xia Yu followed her mother and let out a long sigh. It seemed that her parents had really changed and no longer treated her as a child like before.
This is a good thing, and it was something Xia Yu had dreamed of before. Now her dream has finally come true, but she finally felt empty in her heart and seemed to be a little nostalgic for the past.
Compared with the happy atmosphere of the Xia family, Zhou Yan's mood was much worse. Taking advantage of the Chinese New Year, his grandfather started nagging again. In desperation, he had to go out to get some breath.
It was cold and there were not many pedestrians on the street. Zhou Yan walked alone and unconsciously turned to the neighborhood where Wanru lived. When he appeared and was about to leave, he seemed to go back from outside to see him.
"Zhou Yan, why are you here?" It seems quite surprising.
Zhou Yan also wanted to know why he came here. He shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands and said, "Come and see you, are you welcome?"
Look at yourself? It seems that I really don’t believe it, but since I met and said so again, it’s not easy for him to stand outside during the New Year.
"Welcome, why don't you?" It's like taking Zhou Yan to her home.
The house was cleaned up in an orderly manner and it was very warm. She probably didn't turn off the air conditioner when she went downstairs just now, but even so, it still seemed a little deserted. After all, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year.
She seems to be alone too.
Zhou Yan rubbed his cold fingers again, "Do you have anything to eat?"
"What?" As if he wanted to kneel down, the dignified Dr. Zhou ran to his subordinates' home for the New Year to eat. Who would believe it if he said it?
"Just ask if there is any?"
"No!"
"What do you eat tonight?"
"dumpling!"
Yesterday was Big Eve. She bought some dumplings and didn’t finish them. She kept them in the refrigerator. She ate this one day today.
"Then let's just dumplings."
It seemed as if I really wanted to roll my eyes at him, "No, you didn't have supper?"
"Eat, eat a little."
As soon as the job was served, my grandfather started nagging. The atmosphere was so bad that he just took a few bites casually, but he was so angry that he would definitely not say these words to Wanru.
"But I'm not full, and I'm a little hungry now." He was really honest and didn't treat himself as an outsider. He directly gave an order, "Go quickly!"
Many years later, when I think back to today, Zhou Yan felt incredible. Why did he give so naturally, is it a ghost?
It was as if she was looking at him and trying to adjust her breathing, but thinking that today was the first day of the New Year, forget it, just as a kind heart, she took off her scarf and coat and turned her head to the kitchen. Zhou Yan felt better all of a sudden. She went to the sand and sat down and waited. She turned her head and saw a trolley box standing against the wall next to her.
Soon it was like carrying a plate of hot dumplings out on the coffee table.
"Where are you going?"
"What?"
As if he didn't understand for a moment, he picked up the chopsticks and pointed to the box next to him.
It seems like answering: "City a! How many days will there be left? It's quite boring to be alone at home, so why not go out for a walk."
It's quite boring to be alone, yes, there's a little bit.
Zhou Yan didn't ask any more questions. The topic ended here. He picked up the chopsticks and ate a dumpling, his brows were obviously frowning.
"You made this dumpling?"
"No, I bought frozen dumplings at the door!"
Zhou Yan wanted to vomit but couldn't, so he could only swallow one of his mouth with his teeth, then ate two or three more, and pushed the plate aside.
"Don't eat it?"
This is incomparable to what Xia Yu made. He pulled a tissue and wiped it: "You can't eat too much at night." The implication is that you can't eat too much, as if you were too lazy to expose him. He went over and took away the plate, poured the remaining dumplings into the trash can, but when he came back, he saw Zhou Yan wandering around in the living room, as if he was looking for something.
"What are you doing?"
“Where is the remote control of the TV?”
Not planning to leave yet? It seems that he is having an argument with the old man. I don’t know how long he will stay here. Although he seems to be unwilling to see him here, it is not easy to drive people away.
