After Xia Yu and Shen Yan left, Wu Mei asked Xia Mingde, "Husband, what do you think of this Young Master Yan?"
Isn't it because Wu Mei is sensitive? She came here with so many expensive gifts on New Year's Day. Is she really just talking business with them? Their Ruyilu chain stores have opened all over the country, and they have also been actively expanding overseas markets in the past two years.
The business is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more merchants are cooperating with them. Although Wu Mei has been behind the scenes, she has also attended many big occasions with Xia Mingde.
She had never seen anyone doing business like the Shen family.
"He is a nice person. Although many people have had negative comments about him before, I have interacted with him several times and found that he is a person who does big things. My daughter should have no problem working with him." Although I have only had contact with Shen Yan Once or twice, and the time each time was not very long, but he left a very good impression on Xia Mingde.
"It's okay to work together, but what about living together?" Wu Mei asked cautiously from the side.
Xia Mingde was about to kill the fish. After listening to his wife's words, his hand slipped and the fish fell into the pool. Since the fish was alive and there was little water in the pool, it plopped twice in it and jumped to the ground.
Only then did Xia Mingde react. He hurriedly bent down, 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 impossible." Xia Mingde wiped the water droplets on the counter with a rag. He had only met Shen Yan not long ago. If he was really dating their daughter, there was no reason not to let him know. .
"Then how do you explain that 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 didn't come up with the idea out of thin air. When she thought about it, it was really weird.
Especially my daughter, she said a friend was coming over. Since Shen Yan only has an ordinary superior-subordinate relationship with her, why not just say that our president wants to be a guest at home? Why go through such a big detour
Don't tell me, what his wife said made sense. Xia Mingde didn't pay attention to it at the time. Now that his wife reminded him, he felt that Shen Yan was indeed a little strange, "If we are really dating, just let them go. Xiaoyu is such an old person, and she is her own." Is it possible that you still need to make the decision?"
"Husband, isn't that your attitude? This kid from the Shen family is about the same age as our Xiao Yu, but this kid is a playboy. Wasn't it said not long ago that his illegitimate son is already several years old?" Wu Mei didn't. Xia Mingde was open-minded. Although she did not dare to say that she was richer than the Shen family, their family's money was enough for her daughter to live a life of food and clothing without any worries.
She just wants her daughter to find someone who truly loves each other, and the two of them can live a normal life. The Shen family was a wealthy family, and it was glorious for a while, but the wealthy family had many disputes. Their daughter had been stubborn since she was a child, and she was really afraid that she would not be restrained.
"Didn't it turn out later that the child's mother was arranged by Master Mo to frame him?" Of course Xia Mingde had heard of such a sensational matter.
"That's what makes people worried. You still don't know our Xiaoyu's temper. She can't tolerate a little bit of sand in her eyes. How can a family like the Shen family be suitable for her?" Wu Mei was really worried.
"What you said is not unreasonable, but if it is true, they are indeed dating. You don't know your daughter's temper yet. If she is unhappy and doesn't come home for five years, what do you think we should do?" Xia Mingde I also have my own worries.
His worries are also Wu Mei's worries, but will their daughter regret it in the future if they let them date
Seeing that his wife was silent, Xia Mingde said, "Based on my understanding of Shen Yan, he is not as bad as the gossip magazines said. Why don't we let them try dating first?"
"If he is like his brother, won't he make us Xiaoyu sad?" Wu Mei knew about Wu Shiyu's relationship with Shen Mo. Everyone said that Shen Mo was a good man, but that was not what Wu Mei saw.
"I think this second young master is more responsible than the first young master. Since he came here without knowing that Xiao Yu is our daughter, it means that he still has feelings for Xiao Yu. Why don't we just take a look first?" Xia Mingde asked from the side. Wife's opinion.
It seems that this is the only way. No matter what, Shen Yan is a guest and they must entertain him well. The couple were busy in the kitchen.
Xia Yu and Shen Yan came back. They still had two dishes to finish. Xia Yu took Shen Yan to set off fireworks in the yard. She was really childish, with an innocent smile, and she was completely different from the office.
The fireworks ended soon. After a short period of joy, Xia Yu's eyes fell, but Shen Yan was still standing not far away from her, looking down with a half-smile, with an obvious sense of satisfaction on his face, just like before I watched an extremely wonderful play.
The two just looked at each other from a distance, until all the emotions in Xia Yu's eyes subsided, then Shen Yan came over with a cigarette in his mouth, walked up to Xia Yu, and looked at the white breath coming out of her mouth. Angry, with the tip of his nose and dark eyes exposed from the thick scarf, he suddenly pulled his lips and smiled, stamping out the cigarette.
"It's so cold, come inside!" He reached out and held her hand.
Xia Yu was a little at a loss, but before she could react, Shen Yan took her hand and walked towards the living room. After shaking it a few times, he didn't shake it off, so he had to follow him inside.
I took a deep breath, forget it, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, I'd better be calm.
I happened to meet Wu Mei in the living room. Seeing them holding hands, she didn't react much. She just smiled lightly and said, "Get ready to eat."
Mom didn't see them holding hands? Xia Yu was stunned for a while before saying, "Okay!"
The corners of Shen Yan's lips curved into a nice curve. Was this acquiescence? After worrying for several hours, my heart suddenly dropped, and I quickly said, "Auntie, let me help you."
"No, you drink with your Uncle Xia first, and let Xiao Yu help me." Wu Mei smiled at Shen Yan, and then waved to Xia Yu, "Come over and serve the food with me."
"Oh!" Xia Yu agreed, followed her mother to the kitchen, and 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're not young anymore. As long as you think it's appropriate, what else can mom say." Seeing that her daughter was a little overwhelmed, Wu Mei turned around, held her hand and smiled.
"Mom, did you agree?" Xia Yu couldn't believe it. How could she be so easy to talk to? Is the person in front of me my mother
"Look at how happy you are. It seems that you really like this child of the Shen family." Wu Mei patted her hand.
"Am I that obvious?"
"It's quite obvious."
Being teased by her mother, Xia Yu also laughed, "Mom, you don't know, he was worried all afternoon, for fear that you wouldn't agree."
"Oh, the second young master of the Shen family will also be worried?" Wu Mei shook her head.
Xia Yu heard these words awkwardly, "Mom, how do you say that? Am I bad at your daughter?"
Wu Mei also smiled, "Why is my daughter so bad? He is lucky to marry my daughter. Okay, let's serve the food."
It seems that my husband is right. As her daughter grows older, she should make her own decisions.
Xia Yu followed her mother and let out a long breath. It seems that her parents have really changed and no longer treat her as a child like before.
This is a good thing, and it is also what Xia Yu has dreamed of before. Now her dream has finally come true, but she still feels empty in her heart and seems to be 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, grandpa started nagging again. In desperation, he had no choice but to go outside to get some air.
It was cold and there were not many people on the street. Zhou Yan was walking alone and unconsciously came to the neighborhood where Wan Ru lived. When he found out, he was about to leave when he happened to see him from outside.
"Zhou Yan, why are you here?" Wan Ru was quite surprised.
Zhou Yan also wanted to know how he ended up here. He shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands and said, "Come to see you, are you welcome?"
Look at yourself? Wan Ruang really didn't believe it, but now that he had met him and he said so, it was hard for him to just stand outside during the Chinese New Year.
"Welcome, why not welcome?" Wan Ru led Zhou Yan to her home.
The room was tidy and 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 a person too.
Zhou Yan rubbed his cold fingers again, "Is there anything to eat?"
"What?" Wan Ruang almost wanted to kneel down. Dr. Zhou, a dignified doctor, came to his subordinate's house to ask for food during the Chinese New Year. Who would believe it
"Just asking if there is one?"
"No!"
"Then what did you have for dinner?"
"dumpling!"
Yesterday was New Year's Eve. She bought some dumplings that she had not finished yet and put them in the refrigerator. She will eat these all day today.
"Then dumplings."
Wan Ru really wanted to roll her eyes at him, "No, you didn't have dinner?"
"Eat, eat a little."
As soon as the rice bowl was served, grandpa started nagging. The atmosphere was so bad that he just took a few bites casually, which made him feel angry, but he would definitely not say these words to Wanru.
"But I haven't eaten enough, and now I'm a little hungry." He really confessed, and he didn't regard himself as an outsider. He directly gave the order, "Go quickly!"
Years later, when Zhou Yan recalled today, he felt incredulous. How could he order Wan Ru so naturally? Could it be that he was possessed by a ghost
Wan Ru looked at him and tried to adjust her breathing, but thinking that today was the first day of the New Year anyway, forget it, just as a kindness, she took off her scarf and coat and turned to the kitchen. Zhou Yan's mood suddenly improved again. I went to sit down on the sofa and waited. I turned around and saw a trolley box standing against the wall next to me.
Soon he came out with a plate of hot dumplings and put them on the coffee table.
"Where are you going?"
"What?"
As if he didn't understand for a moment, he picked up his chopsticks and pointed to the box next to him.
Wan Ru replied: "City A! I still have a few days off. It's boring to be at home alone, so why not go out for a walk."
It's quite boring to be alone, yes, it's a bit boring.
Zhou Yan didn't ask any more questions. The topic ended here. He picked up his chopsticks and ate a dumpling, frowning visibly.
"Did you make these dumplings?"
"No, quick-frozen dumplings, bought from the supermarket near your door!"
Zhou Yan wanted to vomit but couldn't, so he had to bite the bullet and swallowed one in his mouth, then ate two or three more and pushed the plate aside.
"Don't want to eat?"
This is simply incomparable to what Xia Yu did. He took out a tissue and wiped it: "Don't eat too much at night." The implication was that you couldn't eat too much. Wan Ruang didn't bother to expose him, so he went over to put the plate away, and with a grunt, he The remaining dumplings were poured into the trash can. When he came back, he saw Zhou Yan walking around in the living room, as if he was looking for something.
"what are you doing?"
"Where's the TV remote control?"
Not planning to leave yet? It looked like he had a quarrel with the old man. I don't know how long he will stay here. Although I really don't want him to be here, I can't drive him away.
Helpless, Wanruang had no choice but to hand him the remote control.
