In the morning, Shen Yan paid New Year's greetings to the old lady and the whole family, and told them that he had made an appointment with Xia Yu to visit her parents at Xia Yu's house. This was what the old lady had said before, so she didn't stop him. She even told Shen Yan that she wanted him to ask for Xia Yu's parents.
The second wife even prepared a generous gift for Xia Yu's family for Shen Yan to take with her, and also told Shen Yan many things to pay attention to. Although Shen Yan had had many girlfriends before, they were just contacts and had never been so formal. The second wife was worried that he would be rude in the Xia family.
The eldest wife kept sneering on her side, her son found a girl from a small family, is it worthy of such a grand ceremony? Although he looked down upon her, he still couldn't help but feel sour in his heart.
She had watched Shen Yan grow up. In the past, changing girlfriends was like changing clothes, and he had never been so serious about anyone. Now that he is so solemn and formal, it means he really wants to settle down. The mother didn't want her son to get married and have children early so that she could enjoy family happiness. Her son was two years older than Shen Yan and was his brother. Although he was engaged, he was very dissatisfied with the person he was engaged to. Not to mention going to her house, even if her children came over on their own initiative, they would ignore her.
According to his attitude, let alone getting married, the reason why he didn't break off the engagement right away was because something happened in his family. He was embarrassed to say it. After the storm passed, he was afraid that the engagement would definitely be called off.
My son's relationship is so unhappy, but other people's sons come to meet his future parents-in-law with great fanfare. This made the eldest wife, who had always been arrogant and did not take the second wife and her son seriously, feel very unhappy.
Looking at his son and then at Shen Yan, it seems that his son is better. Why is his love life so smooth? It's unfair, so unfair.
"Xiao Mo, Mina is bored at home alone. Why don't you go over and stay with her." The eldest wife couldn't be suppressed by the second room, so she also hurriedly asked the servant to go to her room to get gifts and send her son to Zeng's house. .
"Mom, didn't you ask me to give Zhou Jiamin a New Year's greeting?" Shen Mo looked at his mother helplessly. As a freshman in junior high school, he didn't want to quarrel with his mother, so he said it more tactfully, "You also know that I was busy with the Zeng family's affairs a year ago. , I have a lot of social activities on my plate. I have turned down the ones that I can push off, but I have asked Xiang Hui to take care of the ones that I can't. If I really can't push them away, I should take advantage of the Chinese New Year holiday to pay a visit. This is also the most basic courtesy. ”
The eldest lady was speechless after saying one sentence. She had to say that her son's words made sense. Who is Zhou Jiamin, how can her son pay her New Year greetings
Shen Mo didn't talk to his mother again, went back to the room and changed his clothes. When he was about to go out, he took out his mobile phone and sent a New Year blessing message to Xia Yu. Of course, Xia Yu sent it to him early in the morning.
After thinking about it, I sent one to Zeng Mina. After all, she is still his fiancée, right
When he went downstairs, Shen Yan was dragging a large suitcase and was about to leave. Shen Mo handed him a gift, "This is a little thought from my mother and I. Say hello to us."
"Thank you, brother." Shen Yan looked at the pile of gifts, shrugged his shoulders, and just took it with him.
The eldest lady just rolled her eyes, looking at the naked jealousy in the old lady's eyes, and shook her head.
In the Xia family, Xia Yu came back with her mother early in the morning. She was busy sending New Year greetings to her colleagues and friends, and then hung out in front of her parents.
Shen Yan's words have arrived. She hasn't told her parents about their relationship yet. How should she introduce him to them when he finally arrives? But she was a little embarrassed to tell her parents face to face.
"Xiao Yu, do you have something to tell us?" Her mother was dizzy due to her shaking, and asked Xia Yu to sit down next to her.
"My friend is coming over today." Xia Yu could only say.
"You already said it when you came back. Didn't you say he would arrive in the afternoon? You will pick him up in your father's car after lunch." Wu Mei said with a smile.
"Well, okay!" Xia Yu nodded. According to past practice, weren't they going to ask him who he was now? I didn’t ask that day, and I still haven’t asked in the past few days since I came back. Has my temper really changed
Xia Yu has never looked forward to her parents asking her questions like this. In the past, she always said that they had invaded her privacy, but at this moment she really wanted to beg them to invade.
But her parents just ignored her and she was really embarrassed to force her to ask. After sitting for a while, she pointed to her room upstairs, "Mom, I'll go back to my room and take a nap."
She was too embarrassed to take the initiative to tell her parents that she had something on her mind, and Xia Yu felt uncomfortable sitting in the living room. In addition, she was indeed sleepy, so she simply went back to her room to sleep and waited until Shen Yan came over.
"Go to bed. I stayed with your mother all night last night." The father said distressedly at the side. The child usually works hard, and it is rare to have a holiday to let her get enough rest.
Wu Mei watched Xia Yu go upstairs and into the room, then turned back to look at her husband and asked, "What kind of friend do you think she brought back? Look at how nervous she is."
Xia Mingde smiled and said, "I guess it's probably her new boyfriend."
Wu Mei nodded, "I think so. Who do you think she will date this time? Don't..."
"Anything is fine, as long as she likes it." Xia Mingde knew that his wife wanted to be like Chen Wenxuan, so he asked who owned the house as soon as he walked in.
Xia Mingde was very disgusted with that kind of person. However, at that time, the child was still young, and it was normal to misjudge the wrong person occasionally. Now that she has grown up a few years and matured a lot, Xia Mingde does not want to worry about these things anymore. My daughter is having trouble.
"You can't say that. This child has been more emotional since he was a child. Can I not worry about it?" Wu Mei sighed. She had asked Shiyu before and said that Chen Wenxuan was really nothing. Over the years, he had been spending Xia Yu's salary casually. Later, when I heard that Xia Yu had lost her job, I broke up with her immediately.
If they break up, they break up. Wu Mei is eager for them to break up. But later, when she heard that Xia Yu had found a better job, she was about to reconcile. Wu Mei was terrified just thinking about such a person.
"What's the use of worrying about it? She's grown up now and has her own ideas." Xia Mingde didn't know that his wife's words made sense, but his daughter wasn't so unlucky that she happened to meet another scumbag.
"Alas, our Xiaoyu is better at reading than poetry, but she is incomparable emotionally. She first dated the child of the Shen family. Although it was said that there was no fate in the end, she soon made friends with a big star. I'm afraid good news will come out this year. "Wu Mei is very envious at this point.
"You, don't worry about it here. You'll know when people come over in a few hours." Xia Ming Debi's wife wanted to be more open-minded, "Anyway, on the first day of the new year, other people's children Now that you’re here, I’d better treat you well and wait until after the New Year to talk about anything else.”
Xia Yu slept until noon when her mother woke her up. Shen Yan said that he would come around two o'clock in the afternoon and she would drive to the airport to pick him up after dinner.
But when they arrived at the airport, they were both shocked when they met.
Xia Yu said, "Master Yan, you are moving."
Shen Yan said, “Ms.
Xia Yu heyed, "That's my dad's money, not mine."
Shen Yan also raised the corners of his lips. It was indeed a bit exaggerated, but this was indeed not his original intention. "You also know the tempers of those people in my family. I will bring what grandma has prepared. If I don't bring what others have prepared, I will probably be disappointed when I go back." Drowned in spit."
Okay, you have a point.
The two of them smiled and loaded their things into the car together.
After chatting along the way, Xia Yu quickly drove home. Shen Yan took a look and saw that this was a high-end villa area. Although the Xia family's house was not as luxurious as the Shen family's old residence, it was still more upscale than the small villa he lived in now.
This didn't surprise him, but what surprised him was Xia Yu's father.
When they arrived, the second elder thought that his future son-in-law was coming, so he was already waiting at the door to greet them.
Shen Yan was stunned for three seconds before shaking hands with Xia Mingde and said, "Happy New Year, Uncle Xia!"
"Young Master Yan? Okay, please sit down." Xia Mingde was also stunned, thinking that her daughter had brought her future son-in-law back, but she didn't expect that it was her boss who came.
Young Master Yan, the second son of the Shen family? What's he doing here? Wu Mei glanced at Xia Yu. This was somewhat different from what she thought, but she couldn't ask in front of Shen Yan.
At this time, Shen Yan finished greeting Xia's father and turned to say hello to Wu Mei, "Auntie, happy New Year!"
Seeing that they had already greeted each other and knew each other, Xia Yu was happy to skip the introduction. She opened the trunk and took out the gifts that Shen Yan had brought.
"What are you doing standing at the door? Come in and sit down!" Xia Mingde also glanced at his daughter and let Shen Yan go to the living room.
"Master Yan, please sit down." Wu Mei hurriedly served tea to Shen Yan and said politely, "My Xiaoyu caused you trouble in the company."
"No, Xia Yu did a good job." Shen Yan ventriloquised, why are these two so different? It's not that they don't agree with their daughter to date him.
Thinking of what Xia Yu said about her father's stubbornness, she couldn't help but feel guilty. Although he is the second son of the Shen family, the Xia family's craftsmanship is passed down from family to family. Xia Yu is the only daughter. His father's intention is not to let his future son-in-law marry into his family and learn cooking from him.
Everything else is easy to say, but even learning how to cook at such an old age won’t reach the level he requires. I'm afraid Xia's father thought so too, so he rejected him decisively.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was right. Shen Yan couldn't help but feel on pins and needles, sweating in the middle of winter.
"Don't give her face. I don't know my daughter's temper. You don't need to give her face, Mr. Yan. If she does something wrong, just criticize her." Xia Mingde said with a smile.
The corners of Shen Yan's lips twitched, this was completely the rhythm of treating him as his boss. No need to guess anymore, Shen Yan also knew that he had no chance at all.
Just at this time, Xia Yu came in carrying large and small bags. Hearing his father's words, he curled his lips and said, "Am I as bad as you said?"
"Dad is not saying that you are bad, but that when you make a mistake, please tell Mr. Yan not to tolerate it." When Xia Mingde heard the voice, he turned back to look at his daughter, and was startled again.
Come as soon as Mr. Yan comes. Why bring so many gifts? It's too expensive.
Everyone else also looked over, especially Shen Yan, who looked at Xia Yu with a somewhat complicated look. Her parents would definitely not agree, and they didn’t know what she meant.
Alas, why are the two of them so miserable? First, his family disagreed. The old lady finally nodded, but the Xia family disagreed again.
Wu Mei quickly stood up and helped her daughter get things, "Young Master Yan, you spend too much money."
"There are more outside." Xia Yu looked at Shen Yan and just smiled. Her mother was right, it was really expensive.
"This is a little bit of the wishes of my grandma, mother, aunt, my eldest brother, and my uncle and aunt." Shen Yan said at the side.
"You family are so polite. Is the old lady in good health? Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for almost twenty years." Xia Mingde was also stunned by the Shen family's gift.
Even though he was discussing cooperation with Shen Yan, he didn't need such a big gift.
