Chapter 2091 Today's President Shi is Extra Gentle
At this moment, Yan Hao was welcoming and seeing off guests with a smile on his face.
Cheng Xiaoyu knew that he was not feeling well. She could tell from his red eyes that he probably hadn't slept for two days and had secretly shed tears many times.
But how could he laugh now?
If it were Cheng Xiaoyu, she would probably cry endlessly.
When I thought about it, I remembered that my parents would also leave one day, and the sadness came back.
When she started crying, her mother said to her, "Stop crying. Your eyes are swollen and it doesn't look good."
Cheng Xiaoyu felt even more aggrieved.
Isn't that what a funeral is all about?
If you don’t cry, should you laugh?
Others can laugh, but she can't.
At this time, the father wanted to take the mother to greet friends. The mother nodded again and asked Shi Chenyuan to help persuade them, and then followed her father.
She sighed depressedly and looked at Shi Chenyuan.
Shi Chenyuan's expression was calm and solemn.
Cheng Xiaoyu thought this was great and nodded in appreciation, thinking silently in his heart, this is how things should always be in my family!
Shi Chenyuan glanced at her and said, "Which one do you want to eat? I'll help you pick it up."
Shi Zong actually thought that she looked at him like that because she wanted to eat...
Cheng Xiaoyu was extremely helpless, "That's not what I meant..."
"What is that?"
"Why are they all laughing..." Cheng Xiaoyu said angrily.
Shi Chenyuan still picked up a piece of her favorite short ribs for her: "Because only children will show their emotions on their faces."
After saying that, he quickly wiped away the tears from her face.
Cheng Xiaoyu looked at the people around her again. Is this true? Are they all hiding their true emotions?
She imagined everyone's face covered with a mask.
So what's the expression underneath this mask?
When they shed tears, are they really sad, or is it necessary because of the situation?
When they laugh, are they truly happy, or are they trying to hide their inner sadness?
"What are you thinking about?" Shi Chenyuan tapped her brow, "You've become like an old lady."
“I think it’s better to be a kid.”
He smiled and said, "You can be a kid around me, so don't think too much and just eat."
Cheng Xiaoyu glanced at Shi Chenyuan again and quietly took his hand under the table.
Mr. Shi is especially gentle today.
…
When the banquet was almost over, Shi Chenyuan met his business partner and went over to greet him.
Cheng Xiaoyu followed his parents to greet his uncles and aunts.
Those were her parents’ old classmates. Whenever they met as children, they would tease her.
So many years have passed, and her uncles and aunts have grown old. They no longer tease her when they see her, but instead start to care about her marriage. Some even ask when she and Yan Hao will have their wedding...
This is embarrassing.
Yan Hao happened to be nearby and quickly explained that they were not in a romantic relationship and that his uncle and aunt had misunderstood.
The uncles and aunts looked puzzled. One of them glanced at Xiaoyu and Yanhao's faces and said, "Hiss, that's not right. I've seen you two holding hands while shopping, and it's been several times. Aren't you at the stage of discussing marriage?"
Yan Hao smiled, but there was a look of loneliness on his face that was hard to hide.
Cheng Xiaoyu was about to explain, but her father spoke to the uncles and aunts, "Alright, stop gossiping! Our Xiaoyu is already married, and our son-in-law is over there. Don't say such things anymore."
All the relatives and friends looked in the direction of their father's finger and praised Xiaoyu for being so talented to have found such a handsome partner.
One of the aunts said, "From what you said, our Xiaoyu is not bad either!"
Everyone agreed and the parents laughed too.
At this moment, an aunt suddenly exclaimed: "Wow, this can't be the CEO of the Times Group? I think I've seen him on TV!"
The old father's face suddenly showed some pride, as if to say, finally someone has good eyesight!
"That's right, the one you saw on TV is my son-in-law," said my father.
This really set off a fire among all the friends and family. There were all kinds of praise, surprise and gossip. Cheng Xiaoyu scratched his ears, feeling that the situation was getting a little heated and he couldn't hold it anymore.
Fortunately, my parents are both social experts and they managed to control the chaotic situation with just a few words.
Then the aunt who had recognized Shi Chenyuan asked, "Xiao Yu, such a powerful man, it's not easy to catch him, right?"
Cheng Xiaoyu hissed and scratched his head. What should I say?
Even someone as eloquent as Cheng Xiaoyu was at a loss when facing the old lady.
So the old mother came online and said in a more proud tone that the son-in-law was indeed good, but it was he who pursued my Xiaoyu in the beginning!
Cheng Xiaoyu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
I understand, I understand. Her parents brought her and Shi Chenyuan here because they were a little vain.
But she could understand it. At least it showed that her parents were very satisfied with Shi Chenyuan and were at ease with her marriage, right?
This is exactly what she wanted to see.
She was here accompanying her parents, entertaining the gossip of those uncles and aunts.
Yan Hao found an excuse to leave. He sat down at an empty table, rubbed his aching temples, and took a short rest.
At a round table not far away, a woman in a black windbreaker followed his back silently.
After he sat down, the woman took out her phone, opened the dialog box, and typed a line of words: "Are you sad because your mother passed away, or because you couldn't get her?"
However, she did not send this message.
She put her phone in her handbag, stood up and left the banquet hall.
…
Finally, the banquet ended and the guests left.
Cheng Xiaoyu left with her parents and Shi Chenyuan, and Yan Hao accompanied them to the hotel gate.
The parents were sent back by the car arranged by Yan Hao, while Cheng Xiaoyu got into Shi Chenyuan's car.
She waved goodbye to Yan Hao as if he were an old friend, and asked him to go home and rest early.
Yan Hao smiled and nodded, saying to be careful on the road.
Then she rolled up the window and the car slowly drove out of the parking lot.
Yan Hao also returned to the banquet hall. Seeing his body swaying slightly when he turned around, Cheng Xiaoyu felt very uncomfortable. She wanted to reach out to help him and say, "Brother Yanhao, don't be sad. My parents will be your parents from now on."
But times have changed. How can I still innocently call Yan Hao "Brother"? How can I still say "My parents are your parents"?
Yan Hao walked away. She knew that although he had sent the guests away, he still had follow-up matters to deal with. This was not the time for him to be sad and cry.
He had to hold on a little longer.
Suddenly I felt a lot of pity for him.
She can still continue to be a little kid around Mr. Shi, but what about Yan Hao?
He seemed to have skipped his childhood and had been like this since he was young. Everything was proper, like an adult. He was tired but had to force himself to stay alive. He had no choice.
At this moment, Cheng Xiaoyu completely forgave Yan Hao for his previous betrayal.
That thing was dirty, but it was probably the craziest and most daring thing he had ever done. At least it was crazy for himself, even if it came at the cost of hurting her...
At this time, the car also drove out of the hotel gate.
When Cheng Xiaoyu took her cell phone out of her bag, she suddenly touched the bracelet.
"Oh! I forgot about this!" She took out the bracelet and said to Shi Chenyuan beside her: "Stop the car, I'll go give it back to him."
