Before Chen Yuncheng went out, he took out the new clothes that Ning Junyan had given him and put them on. After changing his clothes, he still stood in front of the mirror and looked carefully for a long time. Jun Yan go out together.
Originally, Chen Yuncheng wanted to go to a nearby shopping mall to buy a New Year's gift for Ning Junyan's parents, but Ning Junyan said no, he had a gift from someone else in his car, so Chen Yuncheng would just bring it up at that time.
"Isn't it suitable?" Chen Yuncheng said.
"There's nothing inappropriate," Ning Junyan didn't discuss with him at all, and didn't plan to drive to the mall.
Chen Yuncheng had to accept it.
It was not too early for them to go out. When they drove to Ning Junyan's parents' house, it was almost eleven o'clock in the afternoon.
Ning Junyan's parents live on the outskirts of the city, which is also a villa area. Because it is still relatively new, the surrounding view is wide and the environment is good.
Chen Yuncheng was a little nervous all the way. After getting off the car, he saw a lawn in front of the villa. Maybe it was because the weather was good and the sun was shining. There was a small square table on the lawn. A few people sat beside the small square table, drinking tea chat.
One of them was Ning Junyan's mother, Shu Rong. It seemed that their guests had already arrived.
Chen Yuncheng was carrying the New Year's gift box that Ning Junyan gave him. He didn't know how much the gift box was worth, but the packaging was very beautiful.
Ning Junyan walked beside him and walked with him along the stone path on the lawn.
A guest saw Ning Junyan and the others first, and said to Shu Rong, "Your son is back."
Shu Rong turned her head with a smile on her face, and the moment her eyes touched Chen Yuncheng, her smile became visibly stiff, then she stood up and approached Ning Junyan and the others with a natural expression.
"You're back?" Shu Rong asked.
Ning Junyan nodded.
Chen Yuncheng smiled and said to Shu Rong, "Auntie, Happy New Year." He handed the gift box in his hand to Shu Rong.
Shu Rong looked down at the gift box, but did not immediately reach out.
Ning Junyan took the gift box in Chen Yuncheng's hand first, and handed it to Shu Rong: "Yuncheng is here to give you New Year's greetings."
Shu Rong raised her hand and said with a smile, "That's very polite."
She didn't say much, and led Ning Junyan and the others to greet a few guests.
"Uncle Zhang and Aunt Xia, you both know each other," Shu Rong introduced to Ning Junyan.
Zhang Chong and Xia Wenjuan, the couple, Ning Junyan, know each other. They have been doing business with Shu Rong, and Shu Rong's plastic surgery hospital is jointly opened with them.
Then Shu Rong continued to introduce: "This is Boss Yu. You should meet for the first time. That is Boss Yu's daughter, Yu Mingli, who just came back from studying abroad."
Ning Junyan just nodded.
Shu Rong took Ning Junyan's arm and said, "This is my son Junyan, who works in the hospital." After speaking, she saw that everyone else's eyes fell on Chen Yuncheng, and she said, "This is Junyan's. friend."
Chen Yuncheng didn't speak. Ever since he saw the guests of the Ning family, his eyes have been on the Boss Yu.
Boss Yu sat on the white chair, raised his head to see Chen Yuncheng, and smiled politely at him.
Chen Yuncheng couldn't laugh. He had met this Boss Yu a few times, but he was deeply impressed. This person was the Boss Yu who said he would take Guan Anlin to do business together, but later put Guan Anlin in prison for two years, Chen Yuncheng. Remember his name is Yu Jie.
Zhang Chong stood up and greeted Ning Junyan and the others to sit down.
Ning Junyan noticed that something was wrong with Chen Yuncheng, lightly touched the back of Chen Yuncheng's hand, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Chen Yuncheng shook his head, looked away from Yu Jie, and said, "It's nothing."
After sitting down, Ning Junyan asked Shu Rong, "Where's my dad?"
Shu Rong said, "I'm still lingering upstairs. He still won't come down after all the guests have arrived. Why don't you go and call him."
Ning Junyan refused, "He will come by himself later."
Xia Wenjuan looked at Chen Yuncheng and asked Ning Junyan, "Junyan, what's your friend's name, you haven't introduced it to us yet."
Ning Junyan replied, "His name is Chen Yuncheng."
Chen Yuncheng greeted Xia Wenjuan politely.
Seeing that Xia Wenjuan was still looking at Chen Yuncheng, Shu Rong asked Yu Mingli, who was sitting opposite, abruptly, "Isn't it boring for us to chat with you young people? Does Xiaoli want to go shopping?"
Yu Mingli glanced at Ning Junyan, then at Shu Rong, and said, "Okay."
Shu Rong said to Ning Junyan, "You can go shopping with Xiaoli."
Ning Junyan didn't agree, he just asked Chen Yuncheng, "Want to go?"
Chen Yuncheng shook his head, he couldn't help but look at Yu Jie again, but Yu Jie didn't look at him, only looked at Ning Junyan with a smile on his face.
Ning Junyan said to Shu Rong, "I'm not going, I'll take Yuncheng to see my father." After speaking, he stood up, grabbed Chen Yuncheng's hand, pulled him up, and led him towards the gate of the villa.
The rest of the people seemed embarrassed. After a short silence, Shu Rong smiled and said to Yu Mingli, "Then let's go shopping after dinner. Jun Yan takes his friends to see Lao Ning first."
Yu Mingli nodded and forced a smile.
Entering the house, the busy voice of the nanny at home came from the direction of the kitchen. Several New Year's gifts, as well as fruit plates and flower arrangements were placed on the coffee table in the living room.
Ning Junyan did not take Chen Yuncheng upstairs immediately, but stopped at the entrance of the stairs and asked him, "What's wrong?"
Chen Yuncheng seemed to be distracted all the time. Hearing Ning Junyan's question, he looked up at him: "What? Didn't you say New Year's greetings to your father?"
Ning Junyan frowned, "You know that Boss Yu?"
Chen Yuncheng didn't know if he should say it at this time, he hesitated for a while and said, "I don't know, let's go upstairs first."
Ning Junyan raised his hand to clamp Chen Yuncheng's jaw, and looked at him seriously: "I don't know what you keep looking at him for?"
Chen Yuncheng pushed Ning Junyan's hand away, "What are you thinking about?"
Ning Junyan said, "Or we'll go back."
Chen Yuncheng was stunned for a moment, "Why? You came back today to spend the New Year with your parents."
Ning Junyan said, "You don't look happy."
Chen Yuncheng looked at him and smiled, "I'm not unhappy."
Ning Junyan said coldly, "You are looking at others."
"Who are you looking at?" Chen Yuncheng was inexplicable at what he said, and he reacted after a while, "You mean that Boss Yu?"
Ning Junyan's face was blank and he didn't speak.
Chen Yuncheng smiled and raised his hand to squeeze his face, "Do you think I'm crazy?"
Ning Junyan stared at him for a moment, then took his hand and continued to walk upstairs.
They met Ning Zhanghong in the study room on the second floor. Ning Zhanghong was reading and obviously didn't want to go down and chat with Shu Rong's guests.
When Ning Zhanghong saw Chen Yuncheng, his always calm face also looked a little surprised, "Are you Chen Yuncheng?"
Chen Yuncheng said, "Uncle, Happy New Year."
Ning Zhanghong nodded, "Happy New Year." He stood up from the desk, reached out and flattened the book in front of him, then walked to the window and glanced downstairs, and when he turned around, he asked Ning Junyan: " Have you seen your mother?"
Ning Junyan said, "I have seen it."
Ning Zhanghong's tone was a little nervous, "She didn't say anything?"
Ning Junyan said, "There are still guests at home, and she is busy receiving Uncle Zhang and them."
Ning Zhanghong nodded to show that he understood. With his hands behind his back, he stared at the people downstairs for a while, and said to Ning Junyan, "Then go play with your friends."
Ning Jun opened the door and wanted to take Chen Yuncheng out, but Ning Zhanghong suddenly stopped him again: "You know your mother has a bad temper."
"I know," Ning Junyan said, and Chen Yuncheng left the study one after the other.
Ning Zhanghong didn't care who Ning Junyan was with, he only cared that Shu Rong would get angry because of it, so that he would not have a day of peace.
After coming out of the study, Chen Yuncheng said, "Uncle feels weird."
Ning Junyan asked him, "Why?"
Chen Yuncheng said: "I can't tell, I look a little nervous."
Ning Junyan said "um", "He has always been like this, don't worry about him."
At noon, Ning Zhanghong came downstairs and sat down at the round table with the guests.
Shu Rong opened a bottle of red wine. Ning Zhanghong didn't drink, so she drank with the guests by herself.
Chen Yuncheng noticed that Yu Jie didn't know him anymore, he didn't pay attention to him from beginning to end, and he didn't avoid his eyes on purpose, as if he was facing a complete stranger.
He listened to them chatting while eating, and only then did he know that Yu Jie met Shu Rong through Zhang Chong. He had a sum of money and wanted to cooperate with them to set up a branch of the plastic surgery hospital in the east of the city.
Shu Rong doesn't seem to know much about Yu Jie, but she is obviously more interested in Yu Jie's daughter and has been actively chatting with Yu Mingli.
When he first arrived at Ning's house, Chen Yuncheng's attention was all on Yu Jie, but now he suddenly remembered that Shu Rong's banquet today was mainly to introduce Ning Junyan and Yu Mingli.
When he realized this, Chen Yuncheng couldn't help but look at Ning Junyan.
Ning Junyan didn't know if he noticed it. Anyway, he couldn't see anything from his face. After he noticed Chen Yuncheng's gaze, he gave Chen Yuncheng a chopstick of fish and said, "Concentrate on eating."
Shu Rong tried to find common topics for Ning Junyan and Yu Mingli, and asked them about their experience of studying abroad.
Yu Mingli said that she was very hard. There was a period of time when she had to prepare a report every week, and she couldn't sleep well at night.
Shu Rong looked at Ning Junyan.
Ning Junyan said blankly, "It's nothing, I think everything is very simple and easy."
Yu Jie said with a smile: "That's because Jun Yan is smart, and Xiao Li's mind is not that good, so she has to work harder."
Shu Rong's face darkened slightly, and she looked at Ning Junyan with disapproval.
Chen Yuncheng looked at Yu Mingli and saw that although Yu Mingli was smiling, her expression was slightly embarrassed.
Yu Jie seemed to want to help his daughter, so he asked Ning Junyan, "Listen to your mother, you haven't been in a relationship for so many years?"
Ning Junyan replied politely, "Yes."
Yu Jie asked him, "Did you not meet the right one or are you asking too much?" He asked with a smile, and his tone sounded very kind.
Ning Junyan put down his chopsticks and looked at Yu Jie.
Chen Yuncheng's heart suddenly jumped, and he had a premonition that Ning Junyan might be talking nonsense. He was very nervous, and stretched out his hand to pull Ning Junyan's arm from under the table.
Ning Junyan's attention turned to Chen Yuncheng. He saw that the fish and meat that he had just brought to Chen Yuncheng had not been touched, so he asked, "Is the food delicious?"
Chen Yuncheng replied in a low voice, "No, it's delicious."
Ning Junyan raised his hand and pressed it on the back of Chen Yuncheng's neck, "Then you have a good meal." Then he turned to Yu Jie and asked, "When did Boss Yu mean? Before or now?"
Yu Jie asked with a smile, "Is there a difference?"
Ning Junyan said, "I didn't meet him before, but now I have someone I like."
