Chapter 178, Shen Yixiao: The son of a famous writer! (Subscribe)
Zhou Yamin frowned.
This brat is obviously digging a hole for himself.
Although the technique of setting a trap was not very advanced, it was still a very crude conspiracy. As a mother, it was difficult for her to deny it.
After all, my daughter is an adult and now a college student, so it is difficult for me to be too strict with her.
But Zhou Yamin is a judge, and she has encountered all kinds of cunning suspects, so she has not fallen into the trap dug by Shen Yixiao.
The question is difficult to answer, but it is actually very simple.
Just change the subject.
"Do your family members know that you are coming to the capital?"
Zhou Yamin asked, looking into Shen Yixiao’s eyes.
“Yes.”
Shen Yixiao nodded.
"What do your parents do for a living?"
"Of course, you don't have to answer this question."
Zhou Yamin seemed to give Shen Yixiao two options, but she clearly wanted to find out the family situation of this boy who had a special relationship with her daughter.
If Shen Yixiao is willing to share openly, it means that her family conditions are probably good.
On the contrary, it is very likely that the family conditions are not good and there is some inferiority complex.
Judging from Shen Yixiao’s previous description of the reason for his breakup with his girlfriend, it was most likely because his family conditions were not good.
Otherwise, his girlfriend who got out of someone else's Porsche probably wouldn't have abandoned him.
“My dad is a writer.”
Yesterday, Shen Yixiao did not reveal his family situation to Lin Yufei and Kong Xiaoyi. Even when his father was mentioned, he pretended not to know him.
Because of the situation yesterday, he felt a little embarrassed.
But the situation is different now. Shen Yixiao can probably guess Zhou Yamin's intention of asking about her family conditions.
It was obvious that Lin Yufei came from a well-off family, so even if she wanted to find a boyfriend, her parents would never let her find a poor boy.
At least they have to be a good match, which is very important.
Therefore, Shen Yixiao no longer planned to hide the fact that he was the son of the famous writer Shen Qiushan.
"writer?"
Zhou Yamin was a little surprised. Everyone is familiar with this profession, but it is not very common in reality.
The writer still gives people a very mysterious feeling.
Lin Yufei and Kong Xiaoyi were naturally very surprised. Shen Yixiao talked to them about many things last night, but he never mentioned that his father was a writer.
"Can you tell me about your father's work?"
After a brief moment of daze, Zhou Yamin asked again.
"My dad's book is quite popular recently. It's called The Three-Body Civilization."
Shen Yixiao responded calmly, trying his best to act as if he didn't really care.
But I am very proud in my heart: my father is the winner of the Nebula Award, the only one in China.
"The Three-Body Civilization" was officially released on the market for only one day, and it has already sold over 200,000 copies. I just want to ask you, is this amazing?
Just as he expected.
After hearing the name "The Three-Body Civilization", Zhou Yamin, who had always had a calm expression, suddenly showed a look of shock.
"The Three-Body Civilization", which was officially launched yesterday, has taken the Internet by storm. As it is a Nebula Award-winning work, it can be said that it has set off a reading craze.
At present, the interpretation of this book is very popular on the Internet, and even has a large number of self-media bloggers.
"Your father is actually Shen Qiushan?"
"Why didn't you tell me yesterday?"
Last night, when Shen Yixiao said that he was from Sanjiang University, Lin Yufei mentioned Shen Qiushan. At that time, Shen Yixiao did not mention that he was the other party's son.
"I felt like I was embarrassing my dad, so I didn't tell him."
Shen Yixiao shrugged and said, “My dad is also a famous writer, but I am so embarrassed.”
"You're hiding well enough!"
Kong Xiaoyi sighed, and then said, "I didn't expect it yesterday. I remember the news reported that your family all went to Sanjiang University!"
"yes."
"My sister studied journalism."
"My dad is in the School of Electronic Information."
Shen Yi just finished joking.
The waiter knocked on the door and pushed in a food cart to serve the food. Soon the table was filled with sumptuous dishes.
"Eat first."
"Xiao Shen, is this your first time in Beijing?"
“Try this roast duck.”
Zhou Yamin's attitude towards Shen Yixiao has obviously improved.
It cannot be said that she is a snob, it can only be said that it is human nature.
When you were a child, other people’s attitude towards you depended on whether your parents were awesome.
When you grow up, other people's attitude towards you depends on whether you are awesome.
When you get old, other people's attitude towards you will depend on whether your children are awesome.
That's human nature.
Most people are no exception.
If Shen Yixiao was just a poor boy, Zhou Yamin would not belittle him, but she would not be enthusiastic about him either. It is very likely that this meal would be the last time they met.
And now Shen Yixiao is the son of a famous writer, so Zhou Yamin has certainly read the news about Shen Qiushan.
He is the first and currently the only winner of the Nebula Award in the country, and the prize money alone is worth tens of millions.
Plus, with the book being so popular, the income must be very lucrative.
It can be said that Shen Qiushan is both famous and advantageous.
A typical example of fame and fortune.
If I really become a relative of such a famous writer, both parties can be considered a good match.
Zhou Yamin herself is a judge in a certain court, and her husband, Lin Yufei's father, is a partner in a famous domestic law firm and a well-known lawyer.
He is also an internet celebrity lawyer with millions of fans!
In terms of social status and family conditions, he is actually no worse than Shen Qiushan.
If we must make a comparison, Shen Qiushan's fame and his status as a Nebula Award winner are indeed incomparable to Zhou Yamin and her husband.
However, one of them is a judge and the other is a lawyer, both of whom belong to professions with very high social status and public recognition.
Therefore, in Zhou Yamin's view, they are not much worse than Shen Qiushan, and she also recognizes Shen Qiushan's status as a famous writer.
In other words, Shen Yixiao's family conditions were considered acceptable to her.
Before going to college, Zhou Yamin and her husband protected their daughter very well, taking care of her in every possible way.
Because of this, my daughter has never been in a relationship and has never had the opportunity to do so.
Now that Lin Yufei is in college, Zhou Yamin and her husband can no longer look after her as they did in junior high and high school.
The main reason is that my daughter is grown up and an adult now. It is only a matter of time before she falls in love.
But if they had to talk, Zhou Yamin still wanted to screen for her daughter. After all, as a judge, she could be said to have developed the skill of "eagle eyes and golden pupils" and could judge people very accurately.
She had a good impression of Shen Yixiao, thinking that the child was simple and naive, a little clever, but not too much.
Overall, it is quite reliable.
Shen Yixiao didn't think too much about it. After revealing his identity, he ate the roast duck happily.
This "Fresh Orange Roast Duck" is worthy of being the store's signature dish, with a taste that blends fruity and meaty aromas with rich layers of flavor.
The duck skin is roasted until crispy, the meat is tender and juicy, and it is soft and not dry.
One roll of roast duck is so delicious that it can make you dizzy!
After lunch.
Shen Yixiao took a car directly to find his best friend Wang Yunpeng.
Zhou Yamin took Lin Yufei and Kong Xiaoyi shopping.
In a women's clothing store.
While Kong Xiaoyi was trying on clothes, Zhou Yamin called her daughter aside and said seriously, "Yufei, you are already an adult. If you want to fall in love, of course your mother supports you."
"However, there is a prerequisite. Before you start dating, you must let your mother meet the other person."
"For example, take Xiao Shen today. If you really think you have a connection, you can try to get in touch with him."
Seeing her mother talking about this matter seriously, Lin Yufei felt a little shy: "Mom, I have already made it clear to you about the relationship between Shen Yixiao and me."
"We just met yesterday, so it's been less than 24 hours!"
"I know."
Zhou Yamin rarely smiled. She reached out and smoothed her daughter's hair: "I'm just expressing my attitude to you."
"You and Xiao Shen's acquaintance is quite dramatic. Don't you kids all believe in fate?"
"Of course, I won't make any decisions for you. I'll just give you some small suggestions."
Seeing that her mother really didn’t seem to be joking, nor did she seem to be tricking her, Lin Yufei blinked her beautiful eyes: “Mom, do you really think Shen Yixiao is good?”
“Not very good.”
"The young man looks innocent, so he probably doesn't have any bad intentions."
"I don't think I can do anything to hurt you."
Zhou Yamin gave her own evaluation.
“I think he’s pretty silly, too.”
"No, it should be stupid!"
"Foolish!"
Lin Yufei pouted her lips: "Maybe, she's just okay looking!"
Beijing Institute of Electronic Science and Technology.
To put it in a positive way, this is a private university.
To put it bluntly, this is a "fake" university.
It can be regarded as a "technical school" in the university. Although the name of the school sounds very impressive, the majors studied are basically electronic mechanical technology.
This kind of professional division is very pragmatic. After graduation, you can go directly to the factory to "install screws".
But after all, they are college students who have mastered certain skills, and their work is easier than that of front-line workers.
This professional setting and the employment direction after graduation determine that Beijing University of Electronic Science and Technology is a monastery with too many monks and too little meat.
Shen Yixiao stood at the school gate for a while, but didn't see many girls.
"Brother Xiao, long time no see!"
Wang Yunpeng trotted over to Shen Yixiao and gave him a big hug.
"Wow, why are you so tanned?"
If Wang Yunpeng hadn’t rushed over, Shen Yixiao wouldn’t have recognized him. This guy was so tanned that he looked like an African.
"We had military training for a full month."
"I'm exposed to the sun and wind every day. I guess my mother won't recognize me when I go home."
Wang Yunpeng shook his head and complained.
"Anyway, I didn't recognize it just now."
"I thought a big monkey came out from nowhere."
Shen Yi smiled and teased.
"Brother Xiao, you don't look like you've been heartbroken."
"I was thinking of how to comfort you, but it seems there's no need at all!"
Wang Yunpeng expressed his emotion.
However, he really was talking about something that was not related to the topic.
Although Shen Yixiao tried her best to let go of the broken heart, she even thought about starting a new relationship quickly.
But after all, it is impossible to forget everything immediately.
The word "broken heart" is like a switch that triggers painful memories for him now.
Once it is mentioned, his emotions will still be affected.
"You don't need any comfort!"
"It's been a long time since I last saw you!"
Shen Yixiao adjusted his state, then punched his best friend on the shoulder, pretending to be free and easy and said: "From today on, I am ready to be a scumbag!"
"Are there any pretty girls in school? Let me introduce you to one first!"
