After the meal, everyone was speculating on the relationship between the Xia family and the Dong family. Jiang An couldn't wait to call Dong Qingyuan into his room.
"If you have anything to say, please ask quickly. I'm still waiting to reminisce with Xia Yu." Dong Qingyuan seemed very troubled. She had never been interested in business. If Jiang An hadn't been treated both softly and hard this time, she would definitely not have brought him here.
Even when she came, she had her words first. She didn't interrupt when Jiang An was talking to her grandfather, and it didn't matter whether it was successful or not.
Jiang An had promised before that as long as she brought him here, wasn't it obvious? Even if Dong Qingyuan brings his son-in-law home, the old man will give the land to others even if he only has a grandson.
But since Xia Yu came over, Mr. Dong's love for her was no less than that of Dong Qingyuan, coupled with the Shen family's status in the business world. And Jiang An also clearly saw Mr. Dong's appreciation for Shen Yan.
That look was the look a grandfather looked at his grandson-in-law. Looking at himself, he no longer felt that way. What kind of person Jiang An was, he immediately sensed a crisis.
"From your tone, Xia Yu is very familiar with you. Why haven't I heard you mention her before?" He was about to ask Xia Yu, but Dong Qingyuan took the initiative to mention her, and Jiang An naturally followed suit.
"You didn't ask, and I didn't know you two knew each other. Why did you mention her?" Dong Qingyuan answered simply.
A simple sentence made Jiang An get angry. Just now at the dinner table, two of them, grandfather and grandson, called each other a granddaughter and a younger sister. After all, he is also her boyfriend. Since all the parents have met, he should know the basic situation of her family.
Feeling angry but unable to let it out, Jiang An could only smile and say, "No, I only knew your mother was the only child of the Dong family before. This time I came here just to meet your grandpa. How should I prepare the gifts for Xia Yu's family?" ?”
"That's what you mean. If their family doesn't live here, you don't have to prepare." Dong Qingyuan said carelessly.
"The way you sound, your two families are very close. I mean, even though we didn't meet each other this time, if we meet next time, we will always visit. There should be a standard, right?" Jiang An remained calm. continued to ask.
"Just follow what my parents said." Dong Qingyuan saw that he was still serious and wanted to laugh, but she was afraid that he would be angry and held it back.
This standard is a bit high. Jiang An was immediately shocked: "If it's not Qingyuan, what is the relationship between Xia Yu's family and your family?"
Isn’t that what you want to ask? Just ask directly if you don't want to. It's such a big roundabout way to say it out loud.
"Xia Yu's father is my grandfather's student. The relationship between the two of them can be traced back to when my grandfather was still a middle school teacher. Xia Yu's father is very good at studying, and my grandfather also thinks highly of him. He is very important to cultivate. . Later, my grandfather took his students to participate in the Mathematical Olympiad competition. There was a car accident during the process, and my grandfather was seriously injured and fell into a coma. Xia Yu’s father just carried him for dozens of miles on the mountain road and sent my grandfather to the hospital, and my grandfather saved his life. "
Mentioning that incident, Mr. Dong still laments that if it weren't for Xia Yu's father, he would probably be dead. Therefore, the Dong family all regarded Xia Yu's father as their benefactor.
It turns out that this is the case. Jiang An has heard people often talk about Dong Lao's friendship and friendship before. Xia Yu's father has saved his life and has a teacher-student relationship. It is normal for him to take care of the Xia family.
There is such a big tree as Mr. Dong. Just now Dong Qingyuan said that Xia Yu’s father used to be both good in character and academics. With Mr. Dong’s support, his current position must be quite high. No wonder she dared to challenge Zeng Mina, a second-generation official!
"Then, where is Uncle Xia's job? You know I have business all over the country. I'll visit him when I have time." Jiang An's title changed unconsciously.
"It's really hard for you to meet him. Recently, Uncle Xia is obsessed with folk snacks. He is searching for delicious food all over the country and plans to compile a food encyclopedia." Dong Qingyuan also heard this from her mother.
"Qingyuan, why do I hear what you mean? Uncle Xia looks like a chef!" Jiang An looked at Dong Qingyuan in confusion.
"Uncle Xia is a chef. After he graduated from college, my grandfather already worked in the Municipal Party Committee of S City, so he recommended him to the municipal party committee leaders. Just as Xia Yu's grandfather was seriously ill, he had to return to his hometown to inherit his father's business and become a chef. Got the chef!”
"Be a chef?" What a great opportunity it is to join the municipal party committee. Doesn't he want to be a chef
"I heard that their family's cooking skills are passed down from generation to generation. Xia Yu's grandfather is very stubborn and insists that Xia Yu's father learn cooking from him." Because of this matter, Mr. Dong almost fell out with Xia Yu's grandfather. But after talking to Xia Yu's father, I respected his choice.
Although Xia Yu's father failed to follow Mr. Dong, their relationship has always been very good and they often get together.
What a life-saving grace, and for so many years, the Xia family has never asked Mr. Dong for anything. This was the first time Xia Yu came here to speak. It was hard to say whether Mr. Dong would give the land to Dong Qingyuan or Xia Yu.
Jiang An unconsciously excluded Liu Hai and the others.
At this time, Liu Hai was also trying his best to find out the relationship between Xia Yu and the Dong family. Before coming, he had already found out through the relationship that Mr. Dong did not like Jiang An, and had repeatedly opposed their interactions in front of Dong Qingyuan's parents.
But Dong Qingyuan insisted on going her own way, and Mr. Dong could not force them to separate. But he made it known that he would not use any of his connections to help Jiang An. With Liu Hai's understanding of Mr. Dong, he can do whatever he says.
As for Shen Yan, he even ignored him. As far as he knew, the Shen family and the Dong family had no close relationship. Moreover, Shen Yan's status in the Shen family was just like that. He brought Shen Mo's fiancée here just to tell Mr. Dong that the Shen family didn't attach much importance to the land. Coupled with his relationship with Mr. Dong, he got the land. It's not easy to catch him.
It happened that Xia Yu came out at this time, and Mr. Dong's unabashed doting made Liu Hai cautious.
"Xia Yu's father is just a cook of the Dong family at best. He fell in love with Mr. Dong and gave him some benefits. Letting him go back to take care of his old age can be regarded as a master and servant. His benevolence and righteousness have been exhausted. How could Mr. Dong still give Xia Yu such a huge favor? Give them the land? "The most angry person today is Zeng Mina. That little bitch Xia Yu is simply her nemesis. She can be seen everywhere.
"Oh, that would be great!" Liu Hai was not as simple as Zeng Mina thought. He had been dating Mr. Dong for many years and still didn't understand his temper.
He is very approachable to the people around him, but he always has a good grasp of his temperament. But today's attitude towards Xia Yu is exactly that of an elder towards a younger generation: "Mina, you are familiar with Yan Shao, go and inquire about the relationship between Xia Yu and Mr. Dong."
"I'm not going!" Zeng Mina became even more angry when she mentioned Shen Yan.
He didn't even say hello when he saw her, what the hell. Regardless of her status as future sister-in-law, she is still Shen Yan's classmate and childhood playmate.
There are so many relationships here, but he thinks he is transparent. Now for her to take the initiative to show her kindness to him, Shen Yan didn't even have to think about it.
"Mina, don't act like a child, listen to your Uncle Liu." Shen Mo has already talked to Zeng Ziqiang, and Zeng Ziqiang cannot accept Shen Yan's proposal.
But he also understood that Shen's shareholders could accept it. You can make money without offending the Shen family. But Zeng Ziqiang was different. He wanted more than just making money, but also the right to speak in the Shen family.
If Shen Yan's plan is passed by the board of directors, his reputation will not be improved at all. How much benefit will it bring to the Zeng family if he takes office? He couldn't let Shen Yan succeed no matter what. In order to stop Shen Yan, he did not hesitate to give two points to Liu Hai.
"Aunt Zhou, it's not like you don't know that woman Xia Yu is hateful!" Zeng Mina was indulgent, but she could also distinguish the serious from the serious. After Zhou Jiamin said a few words, she complained, but she obediently went to find Shen Yan.
But before looking for Shen Yan, she called Shen Mo and told him about Xia Yu's relationship with Mr. Dong.
Shen Mo frowned at that time. Why didn't he know that Xia Yu had such a connection with the Dong family before? If they really take over the land, his life will probably not be easy in the future.
It seems that Wu Shiyu can only come forward. Shen Mo just said lightly, "I understand" and told Zeng Mina to be careful before hanging up the phone.
What does this person mean? Zeng Minat was speechless. She wanted to chatter a few words, but Shen Mo didn't give her a chance and turned off her phone directly.
Zeng Mina stamped her feet angrily, just as Dong Qingyuan came out of Jiang'an's room and planned to go find Xia Yu. Seeing Zeng Mina and Shen Mo being petty, she comforted her and said, "Miss Zeng, maybe Mr. Mo is in a meeting now. Isn’t it convenient to answer the phone?”
Even so, is it okay to send a message? He clearly didn't answer on purpose. Thinking this in her heart, Dong Qingyuan found a step for her, and she could only get down: "He is very busy, but he must also pay attention to his health. Don't I care about him?"
Dong Qingyuan held her arm and said: "Men are like this. It's not worth getting angry about this. Where are you going, Miss Zeng? I'll accompany you!"
After all, Dong Qingyuan is also the host, and it is her duty to treat her guests as a landlord. Although now she really doesn't want to accompany her and wants to find Xia Yu.
"I'm just strolling around." After all, Dong Qingyuan is Mr. Dong's granddaughter, and Dong Qingyuan is so enthusiastic, she is embarrassed to say that she has something to do.
"Although my grandpa's place is far away from the city, it has a good environment. If Miss Zeng doesn't mind, can I take you to visit?" Zeng Mina was fine as expected, and Dong Qingyuan had to accompany her for a walk.
"You can't see the scenery here in S City. It's rare to have such a good opportunity to see it, so thank you, Miss Dong." The Dong family knows the relationship between Xia Yu and the Dong family best, and the same goes for Dong Qingyuan.
Thinking of this, Zeng Mina followed Dong Qingyuan to the garden below.
Dong Qingyuan enjoyed watching Zeng Mina's drama very much, and she also had a lot of fun chatting with her along the way. She soon regarded her as her friend, so when Zeng Mina asked about Xia Yu's relationship with the Dong family, she didn't hide it and told her everything.
And in her opinion, there was nothing to hide.
But Zeng Mina doesn't think so. Xia Yu is really the daughter of a cook. She comes from a low background, but she always puts pressure on her, a rich young lady. What does it mean
Moreover, in her opinion, Xia Yu and Dong Qingyuan have a master-servant relationship. Dong Qingyuan shows her generosity in front of people and is worthy of sisters, but she may not think so in private.
She showed disdain on the spot and blurted out: "People from such small families are really terrible, they like to climb up to the dragon and follow the phoenix."
