Chapter 122 "Wenxi, can you be a little dumber?"
Is this "temporary" temporary for the group, or for Shang Chen, the brother-in-law?
The siblings knew each other so well that Wenxi instantly knew the answer.
Her family will definitely overthink it, and they might even post a question about it later.
The brother and sister chatted for a while, then prepared to end the conversation.
Wen Zhou suddenly sent a message.
If you and Shang Chen have time tomorrow at noon, would you like to come home for lunch?
Wenxi had no doubts and immediately agreed.
She assumed that Wen Zhou was simply inviting her home for a family reunion dinner, and that Shang Chen was just an accompanying family member.
When Wenxi returned to the living room, Shang Chen asked, "Did you get the dumplings, brother?"
Wenxi said without changing her expression, "I got it. I'll praise your skills."
Shang Chen: "Really?"
Why would I lie to you?
I even gave you extra points.
Wenxi pondered how to spend the six hundred yuan.
She was ready for her second date with Shang Chen.
This 600 yuan was not only a generous donation from her brother, but also the result of Shang Chen's hard work, so it was well worth the money.
Shang Chen usually doesn't check his phone messages when he's at home, so he doesn't know about Wen Zhou joining the group yet.
He glanced down at his watch. "It's already ten o'clock. We should go home."
The mother-in-law said, "In your first year of marriage, the young couple should indeed stay at home so that you can live in harmony from now on."
He then instructed people to prepare things and saw Wenxi and Shang Chen off.
Watching the two figures leave, Shang Ze whispered to his second sister, Shang Mu, "Sister, what do you think I should do to get my eldest brother to forgive me?"
Shang Mu suppressed a laugh and said, "There are security cameras at home."
Shang Ze: "?"
“I plan to cut out the video of you pulling on your older brother’s scarf and shouting ‘Chenchen’ separately, and keep it as a memento for the future.”
After saying that, Shang Mu couldn't help but cover her stomach and laugh.
Shang Ze: "!"
"If my brother finds out, I'll be eating dumplings for a year!"
As long as the video exists, the heavy burden of him showing off his brother's scarf will never be forgotten.
Shang Mu calmly replied, "Perhaps a few years."
Shang Ze: "..."
The mother couldn't stop laughing: "You wish! Even if you want to eat dumplings for a year, your brother doesn't have the time to make dumplings for you for a whole year."
As she spoke, the mother scolded her youngest son: "You stupid boy, don't you know how to be careful?"
"Your grandfather video chats with your brother every New Year's Eve, and you're telling us that's not allowed?"
Shang Ze said aggrievedly, "Who knew he and my sister-in-law would come back for a surprise attack?!"
Shang Mu: "You made it so obvious, only a fool wouldn't notice."
Shang Ze, with tears in his eyes, said aggrievedly: "...I'm so heartbroken. I share gossip with you all, and you all stab me in the back."
"No one spoke up for me just now."
Shang Ze turned his head and saw that his mother and sister were already laughing together.
Only his father gave him a meaningful look.
That look in his eyes was as if he were looking at a fool.
Shang Ze: "..."
After the two left the Shang family's old house, Shang Chen discovered the 'temporary family group'.
Shang Chen stared at the group name in silence for a long time before turning his head to look at Wen Xi.
He asked tactfully, "Didn't you say that my older brother praised my cooking skills?"
Wenxi turned to look at him: "Hmm?"
Shang Chen handed the phone screen to Wen Xi.
The words "Temporary Family Group" came into view.
Is this what you call satisfactory?
Temporary satisfaction?
Wenxi calmly said, "My brother probably created a temporary group first to let us get used to it, and then he'll create a proper large group later when we're more familiar with it."
Shang Chen's dark eyes stared silently at Wen Xi.
I don't believe it.
Wenxi: "..."
After Shang Chen kept up with the times, he became a little harder to fool.
However, Shang Chen was a rational person and quickly analyzed the reason.
“We got our marriage certificate in a rush and haven’t had a wedding yet, so my older brother might not approve of me.”
Wenxi blinked.
Her family is composed of kind and understanding people.
She truly is a lovely student from the University of Business.
“My brother doesn’t have high expectations. Once you two get to know each other, he’ll accept you as his brother-in-law.”
Shang Chen was a little skeptical.
He was actually a little unsure about Wen Zhou's attitude.
If Wen Zhou dislikes him, he can address the issue specifically and find ways to change Wen Zhou's opinion.
Ke Wenzhou neither disliked nor liked him, and maintained a lukewarm distance.
This left Shang Chen somewhat at a loss.
Shang Chen asked uncertainly, "Really?"
Wenxi affirmed, "Really."
She will work hard to pass the business audition.
Shang Chen asked again, "What does the red envelope above mean? Is it New Year's money?"
Wenxi reacted quickly: "I'll claim the surprise gift for you in the group chat."
Deceiving people can be addictive.
Once you've mastered it the first time, the second and third times are a piece of cake.
Wenxi took the initiative, preventing Shang Shen from asking any further questions, and asked, "Are you free tomorrow?"
Shang Chen: "Besides paying New Year's visits, there's nothing else to do."
Wenxi: "My brother invited us to have lunch at the Wen family's house."
Should we dress up for the occasion?
Wen Xi raised an eyebrow, surprised that Shang Chen was becoming more and more savvy.
He really does learn from his mistakes every time and strives to improve.
"No need, it's just home-cooked food."
Shang Chen nodded slightly.
With the temporary group incident finally over, Wenxi quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
After a while, Wenxi realized that the car was going the wrong way: "This isn't the way home, is it?"
Shang Chen: "Mm."
He sat upright in the black leather chair, saying nothing more.
The New Year in the capital was shrouded in heavy snow.
Wenxi could only vaguely see that it wasn't the way home, but she wasn't quite sure which way the car was heading.
Wenxi asked bluntly, "Are you planning to give me a New Year's surprise?"
Upon hearing this, Shang Chen's gaze fell intently on her.
"Wenxi, can't you be a little dumber?"
"No." Wen Xi's cool and delicate eyes held a hint of a smile: "She's naturally intelligent; she can't be stupid at all."
"Do you like stupid people?"
Shang Chen said with a serious expression, "No, I like smart people."
Wenxi smiled, quite satisfied with his answer.
Wen Xi backed down: "Then I'll pretend I don't know, or take back what I just said?"
Shang Chen: "...No need, you can guess what the surprise is."
"The car has been driving for so long and is getting further and further away; it must be heading to the suburbs."
"Driving to the suburbs on New Year's Eve, the surprise you prepared for me was fireworks?"
After Wenxi finished speaking, the car fell into a deathly silence.
Shang Chen: "..."
Forgot that Wenxi is a lawyer, whose specialty is case analysis.
He asked that one question out of curiosity.
