Chapter 719 Depressed
Jiang Xia brought Mr. Mai and others to Youyi Shanzhen Restaurant. Zhou Chenglei had already arrived and was waiting outside the door.
Seeing several cars approaching, he went to meet them.
After the group got off the car, Mr. Mai introduced Zhou Chenglei to everyone with a smile.
So they greeted each other and shook hands.
After the greetings, Zhou Chenglei said, "The private room has been booked, and the food can be served. Let's go in! Please!"
Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei accompanied Mr. Mai, while Mr. Xu and Mr. Tan walked in front.
Mai Nianshan, Tan Zhiying and Tan's mother walked in the middle.
When passing by the trash can, Tan Zhiying took off her glove socks and threw them into the bin when no one was paying attention.
The siblings Mai Jinping and Mai Xiaoan walked at the back.
Mai Xiaoan covered her nose and whispered to her brother, "Do you smell a fishy smell?"
She knew that her mother's bag was filled with several pairs of socks. Although she didn't say it, she disliked her in her heart.
Mai Jinping said calmly: "This is a restaurant, it's normal to have a fishy smell."
Mai Jinping knew what his sister wanted to say, because his grandfather had said that the couple initially made their fortune by fishing.
When my grandfather mentioned this, his tone was full of pride. He said that they were even better than he was in his time, and that the couple had a talent for business and a sharp vision.
The two siblings had never heard their grandfather praise them for their business acumen. He only praised them for their good academic performance.
My sister is feeling uncomfortable.
But you have to endure the discomfort.
Now that they were in an awkward situation, she could no longer be willful.
Others are the real rich girls.
If she continues to be so outspoken and fails to conceal her emotions, and makes Grandpa unhappy, it will be troublesome.
It seems that I need to have a good talk with my sister when I get back to the hotel!
Mai Xiaoan took Mai Jinping's arm and asked in a low voice: "Brother, do you suspect that she is fake? I suspect that she deliberately approached Grandpa."
Mai Jinping's eyes flashed, of course he had doubts.
Mai Jinping whispered, "Don't talk nonsense! If Grandpa says it is, then it is. Even if it is not, Grandpa can adopt Dad, and he can also adopt Jiang Xia. As long as Grandpa likes it, it's fine, isn't it?"
Mai Xiaoan: “…”
Can those who are adopted along the way be the same as those who are raised from childhood?
Arriving at the private room, Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei asked everyone to sit down.
While everyone was sitting down, Jiang Xia asked Zhou Chenglei, "Where are Dalin and the others?"
Zhou Chenglei: "I ordered food for them at a restaurant near the station, and they took the bus back home after eating."
Jiang Xia didn't say anything else and just made the arrangements.
Mr. Mai asked Jiang Xia to sit next to him, and Zhou Chenglei sat next to Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia sat down next to Mr. Mai.
Tan Zhiying called her daughter and son, "Jin Ping, An An, you are about the same age as Xia Xia and Cheng Lei, so you should have something to talk about. Come and sit over here."
"Okay. I was just thinking of learning from Sister Xia Xia and Brother Cheng Lei." Mai Jinping smiled and sat down next to Zhou Cheng Lei.
Mai Xiaoan was not happy, but Mai Jinping gave her a warning look.
She listened to her brother the most, so she had to follow him. Fortunately, her brother was there to protect her, otherwise she would have been fainted by the fishy smell.
She hated eating fish the most! As a result, during the meal, Mr. Mai talked about real estate, marine industry, and shipping industry in Hong Kong Island and the mainland, and Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei were able to chat for a while.
The cities and locations that Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei are optimistic about are exactly the same as those favored by Mr. Mai and Mr. Xu.
Mai Jinping could occasionally answer a few questions, but compared to what Jiang Xia said, it seemed a bit empty, as if it was taken out of a textbook.
Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei didn't say much, but each of their few sentences was to the point.
Mai Xiaoan really couldn't answer a single question.
Tan Zhiying frowned. After making this comparison, she suddenly felt that she had gone in the wrong direction in raising her two children.
It’s not enough to just have good academic performance!
In the future, such a big company will be waiting for them to inherit.
Seeing that the couple seemed very familiar with Hong Kong Island, Mr. Xu smiled and asked, "Have you been to Hong Kong Island?"
Jiang Xia shook his head: "No, I just heard about it from my friends."
When Mr. Tan saw that his grandson was outdone by Jiang Xia, he changed the subject and talked about the stock market.
There is no stock exchange in the country yet, so the two of them probably can’t answer this topic, right?
As a result, Jiang Xia was able to say a few words, and she also didn't talk much, but her analysis of several stocks was definitely professional! Old Xu asked curiously: "Did Xia Xia buy stocks in Hong Kong Island?"
Jiang Xia nodded: "I bought it before, and asked someone to help me buy it."
Tan Zhiying: "Oh, which one did you buy?"
Tan Zhiying also traded stocks. The market has been very bad recently, but she was well-informed and sold her stocks long ago, making a lot of money! This is what she is most proud of! Even her father-in-law praised her for buying at a good time and selling in time.
Jiang Xia said it out.
Tan Zhiying laughed and said, "What a coincidence! I bought the same one as you. But it's fallen a lot now. When did you buy it? Have you sold it yet?"
"Throw it away." Jiang Xia reported two more points.
Tan Zhiying: “…”
Old Xu's eyes widened: "So you bought at the lowest point and sold at the highest point! Even better than Zhiying! This is the real buying high and selling low! Master! Master!"
Tan Zhiying: “…”
…
The meal lasted until 3:00 p.m., which made the whole family depressed! There was not enough time to go out to sea, so we had to wait until tomorrow.
When the group was leaving the restaurant, Mr. Mai accidentally saw the hand socks in the trash can, and Zhou Chenglei also saw it.
Tan Zhiying was walking behind Mr. Mai and saw it. Mr. Mai saw it!
she:"……"
If I had known this earlier, I wouldn’t have thrown it away so quickly!
After leaving the restaurant, Jiang Xia made an appointment with them to meet tomorrow, sent them back to the community and then went home.
Mr. Mai has a house here.
In the evening, after taking a bath, Jiang Xia sat on the bed and played with the children, coaxing them to sleep, while Zhou Chenglei took a bath in the bathroom.
The younger sister somehow took out the peace locket hanging around her neck and put it in her mouth. Jiang Xia pulled her hand down, waved it, and taught her: "You can't put this kind of thing in your mouth, understand?"
This peace locket was bought by Zhou's father for his three children, one for each of them. He said that the jade can ensure safety and calm nerves.
My sister just looked at my mother, listened to her carefully, and responded randomly, but she actually didn't understand anything.
When Jiang Xia saw this, she took off the peace locket hanging around her neck and pretended to put it in her mouth, pretending to choke. The children didn't understand and thought their mother was teasing them, so they all giggled.
Then Jiang Xia pretended to fall beside them, motionless.
She fell beside her sister, because her sister put everything in her mouth.
The younger sister thought her mother was playing with her, so she turned over and touched her mother's face with her pink little hands, shouting at her to continue playing. However, she didn't know how to do it very well, so her movements looked like she was grabbing, and she kept babbling and asking her mother to continue.
The older brother and younger brother also turned their heads to look at their mother.
As a result, Jiang Xia didn't move.
The younger sister grabbed her mother with her little hands for a long time, but her mother didn't react. It was never like this before. She pouted her mouth and started crying.
Jiang Xia had been watching secretly and immediately pretended to cough.
When the younger sister saw her mother move, she continued to cry and reached out to pull her mother.
Jiang Xia sat up and coughed for a while, then pretended to spit out the peace locket.
Then he said to the three children, "Look! You can't put it in your mouth, you know? Otherwise you will choke, understand?"
The three children all looked at their mother talking to them, but whether they understood or not, only they themselves knew.
Zhou Chenglei was taking a shower in the bathroom. Hearing the child crying, he quickly turned off the shower, put on his clothes and came out: "What's wrong?"
"It's okay. I taught them not to eat anything randomly. I pretended to choke on my food and scared my sister."
Zhou Chenglei: “…”
