Chapter 77 Don't you know how likable you are?
Shen Zhiye had some impression of Lu Ting.
Being honest and straightforward, without any ulterior motives, is a disadvantage in the business world.
Therefore, even if Lu's goods were delivered to him, he could only make ends meet.
His wife is quite shrewd; she uses the guise of socializing to get these things done.
Their shrewdness is unsettling.
He walked past Lan Xinyan, and his daughter looked sullen; he understood.
He said to the housekeeper, "Have someone take the things back. Do the same thing as before. Not just anyone can deliver things to our children."
Yan Buyu remained silent, feeling extremely awkward.
She has kept a low profile at school for the past two years, and her brother can only take her to school next door.
She was afraid that others would find out she belonged to the Shen family.
Firstly, she was afraid of bringing shame to her family, and secondly, she was afraid that someone would try to curry favor with Uncle Shen through her.
This is also a major reason why she doesn't like to go out to parties with her family.
But the unexpected happened so suddenly; the thing she least wanted to see still happened.
She felt that she had caused trouble for her family.
As I was looking down and playing with my fingers, a plump, pink peach suddenly appeared in front of me.
Looking up, I saw Shen Yanzhou's gentle smile.
He sat down next to Yan Buyu, placed the peach in her hand, and handed her a tissue. "Don't overthink it. This kind of thing happens all the time. You'll get used to it."
His attitude was gentle, his speech slow and deliberate, calm and steady, which could soothe anxieties.
He nodded silently and lowered his head to eat the peach.
“Uncle Shen, my dad knows I’m coming today, so I asked him to bring you two bottles of wine. He just bought them at the auction. Please have a taste.” Si Jingxu changed the subject. “He’s been saying lately that he wants to play ball with you.”
Shen Zhiye became interested. "He contacted me when I was abroad. The golf clubs he ordered arrived, and he was showing them off to me. I have to ask him to let me try them out tomorrow."
“Aunt Lan, I have a friend from France. Their company has just released a new line of perfumes, and I brought two sets with me. Could you please take a look?” He looked at Lan Xinyan, paused after saying this, glanced at the lovely peach, and continued, “My little sister has a set too, just for fun.”
Lan Xinyan was somewhat surprised.
She and Si Jingxu only exchanged nods and greetings when they met.
Even on the few times he came to our home, he would only chat with Shen Zhiye for a while before leaving.
Now they're sending gifts everywhere.
However, she didn't live the life of a wealthy lady for so many years for nothing.
She smiled gently and generously, "Then thank you very much. I was just saying that I wanted to choose a few perfumes for Buyu to try, and your gift is just what I wanted."
He finished eating the peach without saying a word and then wiped his mouth with a tissue.
Lan Xinyan turned her head to look at her, "No words, thank you, Young Master Si."
"Thank you, Brother Jingxu," Yan Buyu said.
A moment of confusion and bewilderment flashed in Lan Xinyan's eyes.
They've started calling Jingxu "brother"?
Qi Feng smiled and started the conversation, "My mom was so happy to hear you were back. She talked about it for ages last time when it was three against one."
Lan Xinyan smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll make an appointment with your mother tomorrow and give her a chance to get revenge."
"That's great, I'll help you make the arrangements."
As soon as Qi Feng finished speaking, Long Yu, who had been quiet for a while, spoke up, "Hey, why does my little sister look thinner than before?"
All eyes in the room were on Yan Buyu.
She froze for a moment.
I'm not really suited to being mentioned in this kind of situation.
When Lan Xinyan returned this time, she found that her child had lost two pounds.
But now there are many people, and her daughter is socially anxious.
"It's alright, Bu Yu has always been like this." She didn't want to focus too much on her daughter, as the child would feel awkward.
Long Yu said that because she genuinely cared for Yan Buyu.
However, he forgot that Lan Xinyan and Shen Zhiye were unaware of his maternal love for his younger sister.
After saying that, he realized he had been a bit rude and felt embarrassed.
“Do you think everyone is like you, wanting to eat three bowls of rice in one meal? These days, young girls all like to be slim,” He Run said to Lan Xinyan with a half-smile. “My sister bought a dress the other day that was a little tight, and she didn’t eat anything for two days and actually lost some weight, but she didn’t even ask someone to alter the clothes.”
Long Yu looked at He Run gratefully; in crucial moments, it's always the old buddy who comes through.
Lan Xinyan also exchanged a few polite words in return.
After a lively meal, Shen Zhiye and Lan Xinyan went upstairs to rest.
These kids weren't here for them in the first place; time should be given to the younger generation.
The children can't play freely when they're around.
After observing for a while, Shen Yunqi realized that Shen Laoda could take good care of his younger sister. He gave her a few instructions and then went back to his room to play games.
“Silent Sister,” He Run called to Yan Buyu, “my sister’s birthday is next week. Why don’t you and your older brother come and play together?”
Just as she was about to politely decline, Si Jingxu spoke up, "Qin Nianke is coming too."
After thinking for a moment, Yan Buyu said, "Okay, then what does your sister like? I'll prepare a gift for her."
He Run clicked his tongue. "My sister likes handsome men."
Without saying a word, she subconsciously glanced at Si Jingxu. This man is quite handsome, isn't he?
Si Jingxu raised her eyebrows slightly; she probably thought she was beautiful.
Yes, there's nothing wrong with your aesthetic sense.
Long Yu chimed in: "His sister liked to write sentimental poems; when she was pursuing handsome men, she would write one a day."
He Run glanced at him and said, "Have you forgotten how I helped you out of that situation? You ungrateful idiot."
Qi Feng looked at Yan Buyu with unusual seriousness, his face pleading, "Little sister, you really have to go, I've already told Xiaoxiao."
"Ah... okay." He replied without saying a word.
“Then I’ll discuss with Nian and the others what gift to give them,” Yan Buyu stood up. “Big brother, I haven’t fed the fish yet today, I’ll go check.”
Shen Yanzhou smiled and nodded, "Go ahead."
Yan Buyu happily sprinkled fish food, and the fish huddled together joyfully, wagging their tails and scrambling to swallow the food with their mouths wide open.
"Did Little Fatty Yellow steal Little Black's fish food again?"
A hand wearing a silver ring reached out from the side.
She took some fish food from the box in her hand and gracefully tossed it into the pond.
His fingers were beautiful, and his movements were not as rough as mine. Even when feeding the fish, he was so elegant and graceful.
"No today. Little Black is growing well lately and has outgrown Little Fatty Yellow." I didn't expect him to remember what I said before.
They're quite thoughtful.
“Don’t worry too much about the Lu family,” Si Jingxu said, standing beside Yan Buyu. “Everyone in the house is annoyed by gifts every day. Uncle Shen and Aunt Lan are used to it.”
“But,” Yan Buyu tilted his head slightly, his tone uncertain, “I’m afraid I’ll make things difficult for them.”
“Shu Buyu,” Si Jingxu called to her, “Are you afraid that Uncle Shen and Yanzhou will blame you for causing trouble?”
Silence.
Si Jingxu raised his hand and ruffled her hair, his tone tinged with helplessness, "Don't you know how likable you are?"
Who is Shen Zhiye? Even his father said he is a master at weighing pros and cons.
He knew better than anyone who to contact and who to cut ties with.
"But he checked your expression first before deciding whether to keep or discard the gift. Your feelings were his primary concern."
Si Jingxu spoke in a low, slow voice.
In the quiet night, with a silent heart, I walked to a more open area.
