Chapter 830: Showing affection, irritating Yun Qian (Part 1)
On the way here, Xie Dingyuan briefly explained to Jiang Fuyue the relationship between Xie Yunqian and the Xie family.
Nominally speaking, she was the eighth daughter of the Xie family, only two months older than Xie Dingyuan.
But in fact, she is not the old lady's biological daughter, and has nothing to do with the old man. She is just the daughter of an old friend.
Because her parents died unexpectedly and she had no close relatives to rely on, Fu Wanxiu felt pity for her when she saw that she had lost her father at such a young age. She brought her back to the Xie family and changed her name to "Yun Qian" after the generation name of the first seven daughters.
She was raised in the Xie family and grew up in the Xie family. The old man and the old lady treated her as their own daughter and never showed favoritism.
Because they were of similar age, she and Xie Dingyuan played well together before the age of six, but after the age of six, Xie Dingyuan showed amazing talents in all aspects, and he was also willing to spend more time studying, researching, thinking and exploring.
Apart from being a little prettier, Xie Yunqian had no advantage in terms of IQ, let alone an outstanding talent like Xie Dingyuan, so the gap between the two quickly widened.
Xie Dingyuan was busy learning functions and doing experiments, while she was still holding a doll and playing hide-and-seek.
We didn't meet often enough to begin with, and soon we ran out of common topics.
As she grew older, Xie Yunqian became more and more beautiful and bright. She followed the old lady to various public occasions and gradually became well-known in the circle.
However, during his long study career, Xie Dingyuan gradually fell in love with being alone. He did not like the hustle and bustle, nor did he like to show up in public. His mind and eyes were filled with his subjects, research, and papers.
In fact, he didn't have a deep impression of Xie Yunqian.
Compared to the other sisters who are caring and attentive, Xie Yunqian doesn't seem to like calling herself a "sister".
She preferred to talk to him about some... well... less interesting topics, such as where a new restaurant opened, when a new movie was released, which star was dating which star, etc.
Although Xie Dingyuan was not interested, he still had the most basic courtesy and respect for his family. He put down his phone, did the experiment while waiting for her to finish, and then called his assistant to help him book a restaurant table and buy movie tickets for Xie Yunqian. Oh, and by the way, he also got an autographed photo of the two dating stars.
Oh, and by the way, I also prepared the same gifts for the other seven sisters.
He is very fair.
Jiang Fuyue had a weird expression for two seconds: "......?" To be honest, the straightness of this straight man almost broke her waist.
People say that restaurants, talking about movies, and gossiping are not meant for you to do these things.
Xie Dingyuan: "Why do you look like that? Did I do something wrong?"
Jiang Fuyue said seriously: "No, you did very well."
"I thought so, but after that, she stopped looking for me."
“…”If it were me, I wouldn’t look for you either.
"Then what?"
Xie Dingyuan looked puzzled: "What then?"
"You're done with her?"
"What else could it be? She married and moved to Country M three years ago and has lost contact with her family ever since. The old lady rarely mentions her anymore."
I almost forgot about this person... Why did she suddenly call to invite him and Yueyue to dinner?
Although he had his doubts, due to their relationship and the fact that Xie Yunqian happened to be in NY, it seemed unreasonable not to have a meal with him, so Xie Dingyuan finally agreed.
But this did not disrupt the plan. He set the meeting time in the afternoon, and in the morning he took Jiang Fuyue to see the church, listen to hymns, and feed the pigeons as originally planned.
…
The wind chimes in front of the coffee shop made a crisp sound when they were hit.
Xie Dingyuan glanced around, then took Jiang Fuyue's hand and walked to a seat by the window.
The coffee cup next to Xie Yunqian was almost empty, which showed that he had been waiting for a long time.
"A Yuan..." The woman's eyes were dazed for a moment, and then a smile spread across her lips. "I haven't seen you for three years. You're still the same as before, not much has changed."
Xie Dingyuan looked at her carefully for a few seconds, then said: "You look stronger than before."
puff--
Jiang Fuyue almost couldn't hold it in.
solid?
Bro, are you serious?
Xie Yunqian on the opposite side looked stunned, and for a moment, he was choked.
"Is that so?" Then, she brushed her long hair awkwardly, her smile froze in embarrassment.
But Xie Dingyuan didn't notice at all and replied seriously, "Yes."
Xie Yunqian: “…”
Jiang Fuyue: “…”
In fact, Xie Dingyuan is not completely lacking in emotional intelligence. He even knows to use the word "strong" instead of "fat".
And he didn't lie. Xie Yunqian did look a little fatter and darker than when he was in China. Taken together, doesn't he look strong?
Xie Yunqian forced herself to keep smiling, not wanting to continue the conversation at all. Her gaze naturally fell on Jiang Fuyue, who was holding hands with Xie Dingyuan.
young--
This was her first impression of this woman, no, to be more precise, the girl.
Her black hair is like a waterfall, her skin is as white as porcelain, and her peach blossom eyes seem to be able to speak. She is bright and beautiful, and her youth is invincible. These are the unique gifts given by age.
When she and Xie Dingyuan stand together, they are really a good match, whether in terms of height, appearance, or their achievements in their professional fields.
Xie Yunqian was in a complicated mood. For a moment, jealousy, resentment, inferiority and resentment, all kinds of emotions surged into his mind.
She clenched her teeth, and her originally pretty face suddenly tensed.
At the same time, Jiang Fuyue was also looking at her.
The woman was wearing a classic little black dress from C brand. The simple and neat style outlined her beautiful figure. A corset at the waist elongated her legs. Her long curly chestnut hair was draped behind her, and she wore diamond earrings with the double C logo on her ears.
Although the makeup is not heavy, it is definitely not light. The eyeliner is raised and the lip color is matte red, which matches the black dress perfectly.
The words "exquisite" and "fashionable" are written all over her from head to toe, and she looks like a typical urban girl in TV dramas.
She is still beautiful, but unfortunately, the top of her head is not full enough, which causes the curly hair to almost stick to her neck, not fluffy enough, and looks cumbersome.
Her skin color is not white, and it is difficult to catch people's attention immediately against the backdrop of a black dress.
She is about 1.65 meters tall, but her calves are too short and her waist is too long. To put it bluntly, her proportions are not good.
Beauty lies in the bones, not in the skin.
Jiang Fuyue not only has a beautiful face, but also has extremely superior bone structure.
Xie Yunqian may only have good looks, but his bone structure cannot stand scrutiny at all.
Taken separately, both of them are considered "beautiful".
But when put together, the difference is immediately apparent.
"Come, please sit down and have something to drink?" Xie Yunqian greeted with a smile, then turned the topic to Jiang Fuyue, "Ayuan, would you like to introduce yourself?"
Xie Dingyuan: "My girlfriend, Jiang Fuyue." As he said that, he put their holding hands on the table.
Don't be too showy.
Although Xie Yunqian had prepared the answer, after all, Xie Yunshu had said everything that should and should not be said, she was still hurt by the man's blunt and unconcealed frankness.
Jiang Fuyue just smiled and cooperated.
Men love to show off, and she is not shy about it.
When she met Xie Yunqian's gaze, she smiled back without dodging or dodging, looking completely innocent and naive.
Then, Xie Dingyuan turned to Jiang Fuyue and introduced her, "This is my eighth sister, Xie Yunqian."
"Hello, sister."
Eighth Sister...
This address completely wiped out the smile Xie Yunqian was trying to maintain.
In the past, he never called her "sister", but now he calls her "eighth sister"?
"I saw the report on the Lasker Awards ceremony yesterday. I didn't expect you were all in NY. We're all family, so we should get together."
"Yeah." Xie Dingyuan nodded.
Jiang Fuyue also followed suit obediently.
Xie Yunqian: "..." What kind of silly, innocent thing is this? All it has is a face, but no brains?
So angry!
She forgot that Jiang Fuyue was the winner of this year's Lasker Basic Medical Research Award, or maybe she didn't forget, but just chose to ignore it.
"Are mom and dad okay? Where are your sisters?"
Xie Dingyuan: "They are all pretty good."
He thought for a moment and added, "If you want to know the specific situation, you can call them separately to ask."
Xie Yunqian almost couldn't hold back the smile he had just brought out.
What does this mean?
Are you mocking her for not contacting her family in all these years?
God knows, Xie Dingyuan was really just giving her advice, nothing more.
"Let's see what to drink..."
Xie Yunqian handed over the menu.
Xie Dingyuan waved his hand and said to the waiter, "Two glasses of warm water, thank you."
"A Yuan, here are tea and iced American coffee..."
"No need, I'll just drink some warm water with her." He said, looking helplessly at the girl beside him.
Jiang Fuyue blinked and gave a sweet smile.
She woke up with a stomachache this morning and went to the bathroom to see that relatives were visiting.
After taking a painkiller, she was almost healed, but Xie Dingyuan refused to let her touch cold water or drink beverages like coffee or tea.
In order not to tempt Jiang Fuyue, he simply didn't touch her himself.
Xie Yunqian watched the two of them exchange glances without paying attention to anyone else.
I'm so angry!
Midnight update.
