“Chasing His Wife at the Crematorium with a Second Male Lead Rising – A Strong Female Lead’s Career-Focused Retro Revenge Story. No Forgiveness, No Looking Back!”
Because she slapped ...
Grandma Zhang smiled at her, then poured a glass of water for Nian Peng: "Yes."
Logically, she should be called grandma, but Grandma Zhang didn't mention this title. Not everyone in the Ji family can accept Nian Peng wholeheartedly, so there is really no need to call her grandma. What's more, today is Yun Shu's engagement day, not the time to deal with Nian Peng's life experience.
Zhou Meizhen couldn't eat any more. She held the chopsticks tightly in her hand and wanted to speak, but she heard Grandma Zhang remind her softly: "The child is engaged."
She was stunned for a moment, and those emotions suddenly became less intense. Xie Yunshu, who was sitting opposite her, was wearing a dark red cheongsam and had a shy smile of a bride-to-be on her face. She felt as if she had returned home.
A vague idea emerged in her mind.
After a meal lasting more than an hour, several men drank and began to discuss national affairs. Whether they were high-ranking officials or ordinary people, this was probably a common problem among men...
Commander Shen and Secretary Jiang's comments were naturally more obscure. Ji Chenggong, a businessman, did not have so many scruples. He glanced at Nian Peng at the next table and said to Xie Yunshu, "I heard from Si'an that Yunshu opened a construction company and contracted several projects. It's not easy for a girl to do this! Commander Shen, you have an amazing daughter-in-law."
Commander Shen smiled steadily, “The person Qinglian likes is naturally a good one.”
To be honest, he didn't know Xie Yunshu at all. There was no need for a father-in-law to know his daughter-in-law thoroughly. He just needed to follow his wife's steps in household affairs.
Secretary Jiang held up his wine glass and said, "My eldest nephew is not a simple person either."
The three sons of the Shen family are undoubtedly outstanding, but Shen Subai's two older brothers are different. Before this, although these three people were outstanding, their growth trajectories were all under the influence of the "Shen family".
The children of high-ranking officials all say that they don't rely on their families, but after three generations of hard work, isn't this relationship for the purpose of supporting their own children? If it weren't for the Shen family, the eldest and second oldest would never have been able to achieve their current positions.
Including Shen Subai's life before he was 27 years old, he definitely benefited from the Shen family.
But now, Shen Subai really doesn't want these things. What he is doing now has nothing to do with the Shen family. No one in the family can help him, and no one will help him.
Similarly, in other words, Shen Subai has completely broken away from the benefits brought by the Shen family, but has also gotten rid of the shackles brought by the surname Shen.
Ji Chenggong has been in the construction industry since his childhood. There are not many real estate companies in China at present. Pengcheng has attracted a lot of investment from people in Hong Kong and cities due to policy reasons. The Ji family took advantage of this opportunity to develop rapidly.
But Xie Yunshu, a young girl with no background or capital, dared to start a company directly. She was indeed courageous.
Tian Hao drank some wine, he put his arm around Shen Subai and said, “Brother Shen, you have started a family and a career, leaving your brother alone to suffer!”
From then on, he was the only one who was urged to get married, but he still hadn't had enough fun!
Shen Subai was one of the protagonists today, but he didn't drink much. He leaned back in his chair, his eyes occasionally passing over Xie Yunshu who was sitting over there. It was rare for him to smile so charmingly outside: "In this case, you should make your fake play real sooner."
Isn’t Lin Cuiping his nominal partner now?
Tian Hao sighed twice, shook his head and sighed: "I'm not serious, I just do this to deal with my parents."
Not to mention that Lin Cuiping was not his type, and there was a huge gap between him and Lin Cuiping, and his family would not allow him to marry an ordinary girl from Haicheng. He wanted to postpone it and did not really have the courage to rebel against his family for the woman.
Having said that, Tian Hao's eyes involuntarily turned to the next table. Lin Cuiping was eating meat with her mouth full, her cheeks bulging, and her big eyes were full of enjoyment of the food. She looked like a mouse.
She also had her hair permed today. Unlike Xie Yunshu's glamorous beauty, she also had her own charm. She couldn't be said to be very beautiful, but her whole body was radiant.
Tian Hao smiled inwardly. This woman was much cuter when she was eating than when she was talking.
Shen Subai hummed: "Think about it carefully and don't regret it."
Tian Hao is playful by nature, and because he can't settle down, he uses Lin Cuiping as a shield. But how can emotions be controlled at will?
When the dinner was over, Zhou Meizhen didn't want to leave. She looked at Grandma Zhang expectantly and said, "Can I come to your house and sit for a while?"
"Of course, let's go have a cup of tea." Grandma Zhang was old after all, and she looked a little tired. She held Nian Peng's hand and said, "Can you help me receive the guests later?"
Zhang Nianpeng nodded sensibly: "Okay, grandma, but I haven't given my aunt a gift for her engagement today."
He called Xie Yunshu "Auntie", and Zhou Meizhen watched him solemnly give Xie Yunshu a painting.
There are an old man, a young boy and a girl with big eyes. Although the painting is not vivid, I can recognize that it is Xie Yunshu.
Zhou Meizhen stood at the entrance of the hotel. The girl with big eyes in the painting was so pretty that she cried silently...
The excitement gradually faded away. Commander Shen drank some wine and patted his son on the shoulder before leaving: "Before the wedding, take Yunshu to see your grandfather."
After saying this, he looked at Xie Yunshu with a gentle gaze: "If Su Bai does anything wrong, you can tell me at any time and I will deal with him."
Xie Yunshu knew Commander Shen’s identity, and he was a little reserved: “He’s very good.”
Su Qinglian was still drunk. She held Li Fenlan's hand tightly and said, "Fenlan, let's sleep together tonight. I haven't worn the sweater you knitted yet. I don't want to go back to Jingbei. I want to collect meal tickets with you in the cafeteria..."
Commander Shen couldn't maintain the expression on his face. He whispered, "Qinglian, come back with me to rest first."
"What are you saying?" Su Qinglian frowned and looked at him: "Whose old man are you? How dare you control me?"
Commander Shen bit: "You are drunk."
"I didn't!" Su Qinglian glared at him, and saw Xie Yunshu smiled again: "It's better to have a female wife."
She laughed for a long time, hugged Xie Yunshu in her arms, and whispered in her ear: "Daughter-in-law, I'll tell you a secret. Tian Hao and Xiaobai have been flirting with each other. If I hadn't cut the Gordian knot..."
Before she finished her words, Shen Subai immediately covered her mouth and stuffed her into Commander Shen’s arms: “Dad, take my mother back.”
Su Qinglian didn't struggle this time. Before getting in the car, she glanced at Shen Subai with a warning: "Be nice to my daughter-in-law, or I will definitely break Tian Hao's legs!"
Tian Hao widened his eyes innocently. Was Aunt Lian so dissatisfied with him?
Before he could ask anything, Lin Cuiping had already pulled him towards the bus stop: "Don't play dumb, I've finished my work, it's time for you to follow me to the tube building to show off."
Li Fenlan, Aunt Zhao, and Grandma Zhang also went back, and Zhou Meizhen followed them to the tube building to drink tea. Soon, the newly engaged couple were left alone...
"I didn't hear it wrong this time." Xie Yunshu was very sure. She sat in Shen Subai's car with a strange look on her face and a weird tone: "Aunt Lian said that you and Tian Hao..."
Flirting?!
