Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Are you angry?
Sheng Junhao didn't expect that a junior like Chen Yuchu would be so disrespectful to him, and he felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
Sheng Jingyao's eyelashes trembled, and her face turned pale, but she still shook Sheng Junhao's hand and said in a soft voice, "Dad, I'm hungry."
"As for the Longjing tea, we'll have Brother Yuchu take it back later," Sheng Jingyao looked at Chen Yuchu shyly. "Brother Yuchu must be very busy since he just returned home. He finally managed to find some free time. Let's eat first."
No one would be indifferent to such a shy yet affectionate beauty.
If Chen Yuchu hadn't seen Sheng Jingyao slap someone twice when he was a child and then call him Brother Yuchu as if nothing had happened.
She may be beautiful, but her heart may be as cruel as a snake.
A dim light flashed across Chen Yuchu's black eyes, and he smiled faintly.
The waiter in the restaurant quickly took the tea set away, his movements smooth and silent. Someone played a pipa tune behind the screen, and the waiters brought the dishes one after another.
The pipa music ended just as the main course was served.
The people playing the pipa behind the screen slowly left the room, and behind each of them there was someone serving the dishes. The whole meal was eaten in silence.
Chen Yuchu has a prominent family background and his demeanor and appearance are both excellent in Juancheng. Sheng Junhao has long wanted to marry him to make the family more prosperous.
He glanced at Sheng Jingyao who was sitting quietly beside him, looking dignified and gentle.
Sheng Junhao has invited many industry masters to teach Sheng Jingyao, who is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has been training in modern equestrian dance since childhood.
Sheng Jingyao was also very capable and had a good reputation in the social circles of Juancheng very early on. There were countless young men of marriageable age who wanted to marry her. But I don't know what Chen Yuchu was thinking, he actually married Yan Jiu.
Although the marriage between Chen Yuchu and Yan Jiu was not completed, the Sheng family, who were familiar with the Chen family, had known about it for a long time. However, out of selfishness, Sheng Junhao and Sheng Jingyao did not spread the news.
After all, they still felt that Chen Yuchu and Yan Jiu's marriage would not last long.
After all, there is still a huge gap in status.
Yan Hongsheng runs a building materials company with an annual profit of around 10 million yuan. The building materials industry has long passed its period of huge profits, and the business is entirely taken care of by the Chen family.
There are also several storefronts that collect rent.
As for the Chen family, Chen Yuchu's mother's annual expenses alone are more than tens of millions.
Noticing Sheng Junhao's gaze, Sheng Jingyao did not turn around, but quietly looked at Chen Yuchu, whom she had not seen for three months.
The light reflected a cold glow, illuminating the man's handsome face. His jawline was sharp and clear, as unapproachable as a god on a mountain. When he lowered his eyes slightly, he concealed the chill in his pupils, giving him a sense of alienation.
As if noticing Sheng Jingyao's gaze, the dignified man raised his dark eyes and asked nonchalantly, "What are you looking at, Miss Sheng?"
This title created a distance between the two people.
Polite but distant.
A hint of displeasure flashed across Sheng Jingyao's eyes, but her drooping eyelashes quickly concealed this emotion.
She couldn't get upset with Chen Yuchu just because of a name.
From childhood to adulthood, everything she had done was to marry into the Chen family, to marry the man beside her. He still had that aloof, reserved demeanor. He wore a hand-sewn white shirt tied with a beautiful Windsor knot, revealing the shadowy lines of his muscles. The blue watch on his wrist, limited to only five pieces worldwide, was priceless, and he exuded nobility.
"Brother Yuchu, can I be your female companion at my aunt's birthday dinner?"
*
Yanjiu had lunch in the store and ordered takeout with the employees.
After staying for a while and seeing that everything was in order in the store, she went home.
Yan Jiu intuitively felt that returning to the Chen family's old house in the evening was not just for a reunion dinner.
She also remembered Chen Yuchu's words: as his wife, she had a lot to do. Later, the driver, Lao Liu, passed by the store and gave her a card and a set of pink diamond jewelry, saying they were from Chen Yuchu. At that moment, Yan Jiu glanced out the window and saw only a black car parked in the distance, its windows closed, unable to see the occupants.
Yan Jiu understood what Chen Yuchu meant. She had to prepare gifts for everyone in the Chen family and not lose his courtesy.
She went to the warehouse first, and took what was available from the warehouse. If there was nothing, she asked Yu Yinghui to purchase it. She would then pay and sign when the items were delivered to her door.
The last item was delivered at half past three.
Yan Jiu thought about it and sent a message to Chen Yuchu.
Yanjiu: [The gifts are ready.]
Chen Yuchu was in a meeting when the vibration sound suddenly rang out. He took a look at the message with a surprised expression. He had asked Secretary Gao to prepare the gifts for the Chen family tonight.
He quickly thought that it might be the black card that made Yan Jiu think that he wanted her to buy gifts.
Chen Yuchu's pupils were deep, and his fingertips touched the screen, but he did not move for a moment.
Secretary Gao was sitting below Chen Yuchu. He adjusted his sitting position slightly. Chen Yuchu noticed it immediately, put away his phone, and raised his eyes silently.
Chen Baichuan would not attend his group's meetings unless it was necessary.
But it's hard to say whether there are any of his people here.
Chen Yuchu no longer thought about the matter with Yan Jiu. This matter was too trivial for him.
Yan Jiu waited for a few minutes, but when Chen Yuchu didn't reply, he didn't pay much attention. He played with Ping An for a while, worked up a sweat, and went upstairs to take a shower.
In the misty water vapor, a pair of jade-white toes lightly tapped on the soft carpet. Yan Jiu reached out to touch a corner of the bath towel, but before she could get it in front of her, a faint woody fragrance invaded her nose.
"ah--"
Yan Jiu let out a short cry, and the bath towel had fallen to the ground. The black bath towel mixed with the white hand-woven carpet, and the colors contrasted sharply.
This is not her bath towel, but Chen Yuchu's.
Yan Jiu rubbed her eyebrows. Although she knew that the bath towels were clean and the servants would change them every day and scent them with their favorite fragrance, she still felt uncomfortable.
After changing into a bathrobe and applying body lotion, Yan Jiu sat on the stool in the cloakroom. He still felt a faint woody scent at the tip of his nose.
She carefully took out the set of pink diamonds that Chen Yuchu had sent over, and it was obvious that they were worth a fortune.
This was just a family dinner, and there was no dress code. Yan Jiu originally wanted to dress casually, and she didn't quite understand why Chen Yuchu wanted her to wear this set of pink diamonds to the family dinner.
But since we are going to the Chen family, everything must naturally be done according to his wishes.
Most of the clothes in the cloakroom were bought when she accompanied Yu Xue shopping. Chen Yuchu's grandmother also gave her some as gifts. Yan Jiu looked around and finally chose a white dress given to her by Chen Yuchu's grandmother. The cuffs and hem of the dress were decorated with lace.
Yan Jiu slowly put on the set of pink diamond jewelry, then looked in the mirror. The white dress was simple and fresh, and the wavy black hair was slightly scattered on her shoulders. She tucked her hair behind her ears, revealing her slender neck, which was adorned with pink diamonds, adding a touch of gorgeousness. She curled her lips.
There was a vibration sound on the table, it was a message from Chen Yuchu.
Chen Yuchu: [I'll pick you up at 5:30.]
Yan Jiu tapped the screen with his slender fingertips and replied, "Okay, I'm home."
At five twenty, Yan Jiu came down from upstairs in slippers, holding a pair of silver high heels in her hands. She walked slowly, and her soft slippers made no sound on the stairs. When there were still five or six steps left, Chen Yuchu, who was sitting on the sofa, raised his eyes as if he had noticed something.
Many people wanted this set of pink diamonds. After he received the call from his secretary, he was given the highest authority, which meant that he was determined to get it no matter how much the price was.
After the secretary took the photo, he took a quick look and found it was indeed beautiful and gorgeous.
Chen Yuchu had never thought about whether Yan Jiu was suitable for the job. When he saw this set of pink diamonds on Yan Jiu, he suddenly realized that gorgeous jewelry requires the right person. Yan Jiu was like a peach blossom in spring, naturally beautiful. When the wind blew, the peach petals fell all over the ground, creating a charming scene.
When Yan Jiu came closer, he felt that she might be the rippling lotus in the summer lotus pond, pure and elegant.
"Why didn't you call me when you got here?"
Yan Jiu's soft voice slowly reached his ears, and the upturned ending tone inexplicably added a bit of tenderness.
Chen Yu didn't say anything for the first half of the day until Yan Jiu stood in front of him. His Adam's apple rolled as he slowly spoke, "We agreed on half past five."
Yan Jiu didn't expect this man to be so serious. He was choked for a moment, blinked his curly eyelashes, and said nothing.
Nothing to say again.
But there was no need for them to say anything extra.
Chen Yuchu stood up. He was still wearing the suit he wore this morning. The well-tailored suit outlined his perfectly proportioned figure. He walked steadily, each step seemed to have its own rhythm, and wherever he passed, there was silence.
Yan Jiu bent down to put on her high heels and put her slippers away. Her high heels made a clear sound as they stepped on the marble floor.
Chen Yuchu withdrew his gaze indifferently. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he felt that Yan Jiu was a little angry just now, and she stepped on her high heels with a lot of force.
But maybe it's the difference in wearing heels versus flats.
After all, he really couldn't think of anything that could make Yan Jiu angry.
Yan Jiu didn't expect that Chen Yuchu really treated her as a tool. Even if she was dressed very ugly, any man with a little courtesy would politely compliment her on her beauty when he saw her wearing the jewelry he gave her.
Besides, she likes sapphires, not pink diamonds.
She realized belatedly that perhaps for Chen Yuchu, what kind of jewelry she liked was not important to him at all. What was important was her social attributes and she had to dress brightly and beautifully in social occasions.
This is what Chen Yuchu said in the morning, she is his wife.
She represented his face.
Just like for Chen Yuchu, whether Ping An was sent away or not had no effect on him.
Everything he did was a gift to her.
Yan Jiu paused, she thought she had misjudged her relationship with Chen Yuchu.
They are not two companies collaborating, so she is not qualified to discuss cooperation with Chen Yuchu.
She is more like Chen Yuchu's subordinate.
After seeing this clearly, Yan Jiu felt even more stagnant. She rubbed her eyebrows and controlled herself not to think any further.
There's no use thinking about it any further.
This is the case in the Yan family, and it is still the case in the Chen family.
Her thoughts are totally unimportant.
Chen Yuchu's gaze was fixed on the seated Yan Jiu. There was an empty seat between them, and he could smell the faint fragrance of flowers. He leaned back in his chair with his slender figure, and asked slowly and unhurriedly:
"Are you angry?"
