"Auntie," Although she hated Zhu Zijuan's actions in her heart, Shao Yiling still politely referred to her as an aunt. Maybe she still had a little expectation for Xiang Shaojie, so she didn't want to be very stiff with Zhu Zijuan. "Where can I see you?"
"I live in the Kempinski Hotel, and the lunch here is not bad, how about we meet and eat and talk?"
Shao Yiling was in no mood to accompany Zhu Zijuan for lunch: "Auntie, lunch is not necessary, the cafe there is also good, or let's go to the cafe there for a cup of coffee."
"It's okay, I'll wait for you in the coffee shop."
Shao Yiling went to the coffee shop of the Kempinski Hotel. The coffee shop is located in the hotel lobby. A few large pillars separate the coffee shop from the entrance hall, which gives the coffee shop a certain degree of privacy. But the decoration here is a bit old, and it looks a bit old.
As soon as Shao Yiling entered the coffee shop, she saw a well-dressed and elegant lady waving at her. From her, Shao Yiling could still see the shadow of Xiang Shaojie. I think this should be Zhu Zijuan. . She walked over. After Zhu Zijuan waited for her to walk over, she stood up and smiled and shook hands with her: "Thank you for coming to meet me."
Shao Yiling didn’t mean anything when she came up: “Auntie, you’re polite. I’m here because I’m very curious about what you want to talk to me. To be honest, Mr. Xiang Shaojie and I have just tried to have a relationship with each other. Talking about the degree of marriage and marriage."
Shao Yiling came up to show that she was not cold towards Zhu Zijuan, and she told the other party directly that she and Xiang Shaojie were just beginning to associate, and it was not certain whether they were compatible with each other. Zhu Zijuan came to meet her at this time. It doesn't seem appropriate.
Zhu Zijuan smiled gracefully: "Let's sit down and talk about it first. Oh, it's almost noon. Would you like to order some coffee or snacks and talk while eating?"
Shao Yiling had to sit down, she was also a little hungry, so she ordered a croissant and a latte. After this buffer, the atmosphere between the two seemed less tense. Zhu Zijuan just smiled and said: "I know I am talking to you, it seems to be a little earlier, but there is one thing that is more special, that is, your identity is more sensitive."
Shao Yiling was shocked. Regarding her identity as the mayor of Haichuan City, she hadn't considered it at all when she decided to start a relationship with Xiang Shaojie, but she felt that she could still handle the relationship between her and Xiang Shaojie. There may be conflicts of identities.
She even feels that Xiang Shaojie's connection with Haichuan City is not close. Even if he brings the project to Haichuan this time, his more business is still elsewhere. In the near future, it will be more convenient for them to get along with each other now. As for the possibility of marriage between her and Xiang Shaojie in the future, or going further, having children or something, these seem to be far away, and she hasn't thought of this step yet.
What she didn't expect was that the first thing Zhu Zijuan came up to talk to her about was the issue of identity. She glanced at Zhu Zijuan: "Auntie, I don't understand what you mean. Xiang Shaojie and I are both adults, and both understand each other's identities. Is there any problem with this?"
"What's the problem with this?" Zhu Zijuan smiled, "Of course there is a problem. Shaojie may not know how the officials in the country live, but you should be clear about these. You think you are really suitable for it. together?"
"Auntie, don't you think it is a bit early for you to ask this? It is suitable for us to try to find out if we need to communicate, and now I can't give you any answer."
"Maybe you think I asked this question a bit early, and you even dislike me for interfering with your relationship with Shaojie, but as a mother, I know Shaojie’s personality very well. His IQ is very high, but his EQ is not good. Yes, especially since he has no experience in the relationship between men and women, he can’t identify whether others treat him sincerely or fakely. As a mother, I have to come out to protect my son from harm.”
"You mean I'm lying to your son?" Shao Yiling looked at Zhu Zijuan a little annoyed, "Should you first find out what is going on with Xiang Shaojie? It's him. I took the initiative to express my favor to me, and I promised him to try associating with him. I didn't lie to him."
"I don't have to figure this out. I believe what you are saying is true. This is mainly because Shaojie has never started a relationship with a girl before, so he lacks a true understanding of women. He doesn't know that women are especially true. It’s a beautiful woman like you, and what she presents to him is not the real face.” Zhu Zijuan did not shrink in Shao Yiling’s glares, but seemed upright, “You know what, Shaojie praised you in front of me. It's like a flower, beautiful and capable. He can hear what he says. Now you answer me, are you really as good as he said?"
"Of course I am not as perfect as he thought. People have such shortcomings." Shao Yiling doesn't have much confidence in refuting Zhu Zijuan. "Now we are just the beginning. He is in the process of communicating. You will find that I also have this or that kind of shortcomings."
"Do you think that under your beautiful image, can Shaojie still see your flaws?" Zhu Zijuan looked at Shao Yiling's eyes and asked, "Actually, Shaojie's father and I both worked in China. People, I know more about the style of the domestic officialdom than anyone else. I also told Shaojie about this, but Shaojie seems to have been fascinated by you, and he can’t listen to me at all. I don’t know you, because I don’t know enough to be so repulsive."
"You don't know me well enough," Shao Yiling was somewhat unwilling to say that she and Xiang Shaojie were wiped out in the bud before the relationship between her and Xiang Shaojie had begun, and said strugglingly, "Now the style of the inland politics has changed. It’s been a lot, and you can’t still look at me with old eyes."
"With old eyes," Zhu Zijuan laughed, "You are quite quibble, maybe you also rely on a good eloquence to coax Shaojie so infatuated with you? But you have no experience in dealing with Shaojie. People like me are okay, but it’s not that bright to deal with someone like me. I don’t want to talk to you too much. I will tell you two things. The first thing is that you were criticized by the Donghai Province on Tuesday and you were also criticized. What is the purpose of the party’s warning and punishment? Another thing is, what is the relationship between you and Fu Hua, the chairman of Xihai Investment who went out of Haichuan City?"
"Have you investigated me?" Shao Yiling looked at Zhu Zijuan helplessly. The two things Zhu Zijuan said hit her at the heart of her. These two things really made her difficult to explain. One thing was her. Drunk was photographed, and one incident involved the ambiguous past between her and Fu Hua. You will know these two things if you investigate them a little bit.
"Yes, I have investigated you. A family like our Xiangjia can't date any kind of woman," Zhu Zijuan said with a sneer. "The point is that these two things basically have nothing to investigate. The people I sent to Haichuan City basically knew it easily, and the people who had deeper secrets I haven't checked yet."
"It's so funny," Shao Yiling thought about her enthusiasm all morning, preparing to have dinner with Shaojie Xiang, but now she is a bit speechless by Zhu Zijuan, she really didn't expect things to develop into In this way, she really has nothing to explain for herself, and think about it, these are places that she can't stand scrutiny.
Shao Yiling shook her head, ignored Zhu Zijuan, and began to concentrate on dealing with croissants. At this time, she did not feel embarrassed by Zhu Zijuan's investigation of her, on the contrary, she felt a relaxed feeling in her heart. There was basically nothing possible between Xiang Shaojie and her, and she no longer had to quarrel between Xiang Shaojie or Fu Hua.
Unless you can meet another man who can treat her kindly like Fu Hua unconditionally, don't try to start a new relationship with such a stupid attitude as today. I'm afraid that someone will come to the door and be humiliated like today, right
After eating the croissants, Shao Yiling took another sip of coffee latte. She didn’t know if it was bitter enough in her heart or the coffee itself was not good enough. Anyway, she felt that today’s latte was as light as water, with a bitter taste. No.
She put down the coffee cup, looked at Zhu Zijuan and said with a smile: "Auntie, do I need to pay for these?"
Zhu Zijuan didn't expect that Shao Yiling would react like this, and she was somewhat shocked: "This is no longer necessary, they will be credited to the account of my room."
"Then thank you for your hospitality, I'm going back."
"But your date with Shaojie?"
Shao Yiling laughed: "I think you have achieved your goal. I don't even want to see him anymore. In fact, I am not very eager to have a relationship with your son, and there is nothing to do with you. Home means, I just want to try to start a new relationship with him, but since your resistance is so great, I don’t want to cause so many troubles, and I don’t have so much time to deal with these mother-in-law matters, so That’s it for me and your son."
Seeing Zhu Zijuan still looking at her, Shao Yiling smiled. She knew what Zhu Zijuan was thinking: "Don't worry. I won't tell him that you came to me. I will tell him that I passed by. After some consideration, I still feel that the two of us are inappropriate."
