Chapter 87 Mrs. Shen finally knows how to control Xu Jialan
Xu Jialan clicked the answer button and put the phone to his ear.
Before she could speak, a voice came from the other side.
"Hello, is this Lanlan?"
Xu Jialan heard Madam Shen’s gentle voice, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly, “It’s me, Mom, what do you want to talk to me about?”
She put down her chopsticks and listened attentively to Madam Shen.
Mrs. Shen smiled and said, "No, I asked the kitchen to stew some soup today. I know you are busy and definitely don't have time to make it, so I called to ask you if you have time to go home today? And have a meal at home."
Xu Jialan was stunned.
Without waiting for her answer, Mrs. Shen said again, "Xiaochuan hasn't been back for a long time. He's in the team and can't come back. Your eldest brother is also busy and can't be seen. Mom misses you, so I came to ask you, can you come back to accompany me?"
It was very quiet in the box.
An Yuening, who was sitting next to them, heard it all clearly.
She blinked.
Isn't it rumored that this Madam Shen is a ruthless character?
When did you become a loving mother?
He speaks so gently.
Xu Jialan didn't look at her and said to Mrs. Shen on the other end of the phone, "Okay, I'll be back later."
Mrs. Shen smiled happily, “Okay, Mom is waiting for you at home, don’t worry.”
"By the way, you came back by yourself. Do you know the way? I'll ask the driver to pick you up."
Xu Jialan originally wanted to refuse.
But unfortunately she didn't drive today and she really didn't remember the way.
"That's troublesome, Mom."
"No trouble, no trouble."
After hanging up the phone, An Yuening winked and said, "Sure! I was worried that you would have problems with your mother-in-law, but I didn't expect your mother-in-law to be so nice to you."
Xu Jialan thought of Madam Shen and smiled, “I’m lucky.”
Lucky to have met him.
I was also lucky enough to meet his family.
An Yuening took a bite of meat and shook her head. "It's not luck, it's that you deserve it."
Xu Jialan glanced at her.
An Yuening picked up the Coke beside her and said, "Come, let's celebrate officially. Your secret love from childhood has finally seen the light of day. May you live a happy and fulfilling life from now on."
Xu Jialan also picked up the Coke, clinked his glass with hers, and smiled, "Thank you, you too."
…
After eating the hot pot, the two of them were so full that they couldn't eat anymore.
Xu Jialan thought about it and then took An Yuening to the mall.
When I went to the Shen family before, I was taken there by Mrs. Shen.
She didn't have the chance to buy any gift.
This time when I go back, I will buy some no matter what.
This really stumped An Yuening.
"I don't have a mother-in-law, so how do I know what gifts to buy them?"
She glanced at the people around her in confusion.
Xu Jialan also frowned.
But she still carefully selected some gifts suitable for her elders.
After paying the bill, Shen's driver called her.
Xu Jialan sent the address of the mall to the driver.
After a while, the driver arrived.
An Yuening left only after sending Xu Jialan over.
There were a pile of gift bags. The driver didn't ask any questions, nor did he let Xu Jialan do anything. He picked them up one by one and put them in the trunk.
Then he respectfully opened the back door.
"Second wife."
Xu Jialan nodded politely, "Thank you."
After she got in the car, she sent a message to Mrs. Shen.
Not long ago, Mrs. Shen sent a message to ask her if she had gotten on the bus.
After replying to the message, Xu Jialan wanted to say something to Shen Xichuan.
But thinking back to the last time he knew she went to Shen's house, he hurried back.
She thought about it, but still didn't say anything.
What if he's busy?
…
Half an hour later.
The vehicle arrived at the Shen family's old house.
Mrs. Shen was waiting at the door early.
When she saw the vehicle, she showed a rare smile on her face and walked up.
Xu Jialan got out of the car and saw Madam Shen, and smiled, “Mom.”
The driver got out of the car and took the things out of the trunk.
Mrs. Shen stepped forward and held her hand, “Hey.”
She just happened to see the bags of gifts that the driver was carrying, and a look of helplessness and heartache flashed across her eyes.
He lost both his parents at a young age, yet he was able to be so considerate and courteous.
He must have been through a lot.
"What are you bringing back home? Don't do that next time. If Xiaochuan finds out, he'll start saying bad things about me."
Mrs. Shen threw the blame on her own son without any pressure.
Xu Jialan's eyebrows were slightly lowered, and her long eyelashes cast a light shadow on her face.
She curled her lips and responded obediently, "Okay, I get it, I won't do it next time."
Madam Shen patted her head and said affectionately, "You are so good."
Then, she looked at the driver and instructed the servant beside her, "Take the things that the second wife bought in. Be careful not to mess them up."
Given the Shen family's status, there would definitely be many people coming to visit.
Naturally, some greeting gifts will also be sent.
Generally speaking, these gifts are put together.
However, these were bought by Xu Jialan, so they are naturally different.
The servants bowed their heads respectfully and replied, "Yes."
They were more cautious and carefully picked up the gifts bought by Xu Jialan and took them into the villa.
Mrs. Shen held Xu Jialan's hand and walked into the villa like a mother and daughter.
"I heard that you seem to be very busy recently."
Xu Jialan hummed softly, "A little bit."
"No wonder, you look a lot thinner." Mrs. Shen said distressedly, "You must drink a few more bowls of soup later, understand? You need to replenish yourself, otherwise when Xiaochuan comes back, he will definitely be distressed."
Mrs. Shen finally knew how to "control" Xu Jialan.
If her words don't work, just move Shen Xichuan out.
It definitely works.
I don’t know how much virtue this brat had accumulated in his previous life to have the opportunity to marry such a good wife.
Xu Jialan thought about the weight he weighed himself before going out today and was silent for a few seconds.
But she didn’t say anything, nor did she brush off Madam Shen’s kindness, and responded obediently.
"Okay, I'll definitely drink more later."
Mrs. Shen nodded with satisfaction.
…
In the villa.
Mrs. Shen asked someone to bring a bowl of soup.
Xu Jialan took the spoon obediently and drank in small sips.
Mrs. Shen sat aside with a smile.
She suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, Lanlan, what type of wedding photos do you like?"
Hearing this, Xu Jialan almost choked.
She looked up. "What?"
"Wedding photos."
Madam Shen said, "You are getting married, so of course you have to take wedding photos. The date for the wedding has not been decided yet, but your master and his wife have already picked out a few good dates. We just have to wait for that brat to come back and ask him when he is free."
She was worried that Xu Jialan would think they were not planning to have the wedding, so she quickly explained.
Xu Jialan opened his mouth and put down the spoon, "We..."
"By the way, I've already picked out a few styles, and I think they're all pretty good. After you finish your soup, we'll take a look and see which one you like. Then, Mom will go and ask someone to arrange it."
Before Xu Jialan could react, Madam Shen said bluntly.
The main reason was that she was afraid that the brat would no longer be useful.
But fortunately, Xu Jialan did not refuse and nodded obediently, "Okay."
Mrs. Shen breathed a sigh of relief.
