Chapter 192: Hello, second brother-in-law
Invite Shen Yumo to dinner?
That's absolutely fine.
However, following Fang Yuqing to invite Shen Yumo to dinner was a bit of a pain in the ass.
Cheng Xuyuan glanced at Zhang Dening, who was standing beside him with a smile on his face, and felt helpless.
Big sister, you don't know what's going on, why are you joining in the fun? But looking at Fang Yuqing, who looked calm but a little uneasy, Cheng Xuyuan sighed.
He is not a person who is indecisive and has no decisiveness.
As the saying goes, a short pain is better than a long pain! Moreover, between himself and Shen Yumo, Cheng Xuyuan can pat his chest and guarantee that he is absolutely selfless and broad-minded, so why should he admit defeat in this situation?
Intentionally avoiding or hiding something will make people think that you have something to hide.
"Okay, since Yuqing said she'd like to treat us to a meal, let's go to the Changzheng Canteen!"
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "It's really too far from here to the city."
"I'm not like you, Editor Zhang, who wanders around in the name of work. I'm a student and I have to go to school."
"If you want to eat something good, we'll talk about it later."
"Or we can go to the school cafeteria. I heard that the chefs have used all their best skills to entertain you guests."
Zhang Dening glanced at Zou Yanlai and the others who were walking out after chatting, and shook his head, saying, "I'd better go have dinner in two years."
"I'll eat at the Long March Canteen with you today."
"But I want to order the food myself."
Cheng Xuyuan waved his hand and said, "Okay, it's settled."
As Zhang Dening left, Fang Yuqing's eyes fell on Cheng Xuyuan. She explained a little uneasily: "Xuyuan, it was me...I who suggested inviting them to dinner."
After Fang Yuqing said this, she looked straight at Cheng Xuyuan.
Cheng Xuyuan felt a little helpless, but he also understood Fang Yuqing.
After all, my boyfriend has an ex-wife, and her ex-wife is so beautiful.
The most important thing is that my boyfriend and his ex-wife have not yet obtained their divorce certificate, and there is still some overlap in their work.
In this case, if you don't think too much, it will only prove that this woman doesn't value you that much.
"It would be nice to have a meal with you. I'll introduce you to each other so you can get to know each other." Cheng Xuyuan said calmly, "It would save people from saying they trust me but being jealous in their hearts and accidentally breaking my promise if I say something wrong."
"Who are you talking about!"
Fang Yuqing seemed to have been hit on by Cheng Xuyuan's words, her face turned red, and she scolded in a low voice.
Fang Yuqing has made up her mind about this matter.
But she was also afraid of Cheng Xuyuan's other reactions, and was afraid that she would end up making things worse in this matter.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Xuyuan understood his approach in this matter and even made a few jokes.
Such an attitude made her reflect on herself secretly. She thought that she had indeed acted without consulting Shen Yumo and the others before inviting them to dinner.
While the two were talking, Liu Xinwu came over.
"Xuyuan, your report this time was very good. Although I am no longer young, I still feel excited when I listen to it."
Liu Xinwu said: "Unite and revitalize China. This is our responsibility!"
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "I just said some of the things that were on my mind. I just said what I felt."
"Xuyuan, this is a good point."
"Let's find some time to have a good chat. By the way, have you finished writing the manuscript for me? When can you give it to me?"
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Liu Xinwu who was walking over, and thoughts flashed through his mind. It was really embarrassing for him to go out to eat with Fang Yuqing, Shen Yumo and others alone!
Otherwise, let’s call Lao Liu over, at least the meal can go on.
Thinking of this, Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "I'll give it to you after dinner."
"By the way, Zhang Dening wanted to rip me off because I didn't give them the manuscript, so she asked me to treat them to a meal at the Changzheng Hotel."
"Lao Liu, why don't we go together?"
Liu Xinwu glanced at the guests who were talking and said, "Okay, I just don't feel like drinking today, so I'll hide from you for a while."
"To celebrate the completion of your new work, I'll treat you to this meal."
Asking Lao Liu to be a light bulb is enough to make him uncomfortable, but Cheng Xuyuan can't do anything to let Lao Liu pay the bill.
He smiled and said, "Lao Liu, Zhang Dening ripped me off for this meal."
"If you paid the bill, she would definitely rip me off if she wasn't satisfied."
"Let me do it. If you invite us later, it will just be the two of us. Don't invite her."
Liu Xinwu nodded and said, "That's fine."
Just as the two were talking, Zhang Dening came back.
Behind her, not only was there Shen Yumo, but there was also someone Cheng Xuyuan had never expected: Li Yufei! How did she follow him?
Zhang Dening, do you think my place is not messy enough? Although he and Li Yufei, Cheng Xuyuan also had an open mind and had no other thoughts.
But getting drunk and writing a song called "A Flowering Tree" and then giving it to someone else, this kind of ambiguous thing also made Cheng Xuyuan feel ashamed! "Xuyuan, this is Yu Mo's sister, and she is also your classmate. We are having dinner together, so I called her over as well." Zhang Dening said, "You don't know each other, do you?"
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "How could I not know him?"
"It just so happens that I have an appointment with Lao Liu as well, let's go together."
Liu Xinwu looked at Shen Yumo and others standing together, feeling a sense of emotion in his heart. He wondered if this kid Cheng Xuyuan had some kind of magic that always attracted a group of beautiful girls to circle around him. Moreover, judging from their relationship, it seemed that they were quite passionate.
Alas, this world, these young people! In the eyes of many people, Zhang Dening is already pretty enough, but standing next to Shen Yumo and the other two, she is not even a little bit inferior.
These three girls are like three beautiful flowers, blooming in competition with each other.
At this time, Cheng Xuyuan greeted Li Yufei and said, "Hello, Yufei, I didn't expect that you and Shen Yumo are relatives."
Cheng Xuyuan felt a little awkward about how to address Shen Yumo.
Calling her Yu Mo seems too intimate.
Although the two people have an extremely close relationship in the legal sense.
But they had already agreed to divorce, and more importantly, when Fang Yuqing was around, calling him Yu Mo would make Fang Yuqing embarrassed.
Although calling him Editor Shen sounds formal, it gives people a feeling of being too ruthless.
Therefore, Cheng Xuyuan decided to call Shen Yumo by his surname together.
Although this still seems a bit distant, it is better than Editor Shen.
"Cheng Xuyuan, you are wrong. Li Yufei is not just Shen Yumo's relative, they are sisters."
Zhang Dening said: "It's just that one took his father's surname and the other took his mother's surname."
Hearing this, Cheng Xuyuan immediately thought of his mother-in-law, Li Xueling.
Li Yufei turned out to be Shen Yumo's biological sister, this is really...
Cheng Xuyuan, who was already feeling very uneasy, had no appetite for the meal anymore.
But Lao Liu has already been brought here, and Fang Yuqing is also here. If we don't eat this meal, how will it end? But, can we end it by eating this meal? Cheng Xuyuan's mind turned quickly, and he glanced at Shen Yumo and said, "Li Yufei, I really didn't expect that you are Shen Yumo's sister."
Shen Yumo naturally heard Cheng Xuyuan's address to him.
If they are a normal couple, once they use each other's surname when addressing each other, except for a name with only two characters, it is very likely that they are going to have a quarrel.
As a divorced couple, it seemed like there was nothing wrong with Cheng Xuyuan calling himself that.
But hearing this cold and heartless address, Shen Yumo felt a little uncomfortable.
Look at Fang Yuqing's eyes, they are almost tearing out silk, but she wants to stay away from me. You have entered into a new relationship so quickly, aren't you falling in love with someone else too quickly!
Shen Yumo thought so in her heart, but fortunately, she quickly concealed her disappointment.
Li Yufei looked at Cheng Xuyuan steadily and said, "In fact, many people would mistake us for sisters, thinking that we are not sisters. After all, our parents didn't let us have the same surname."
"Cheng Xuyuan, your speech today was very good."
"Listening to your speech makes me feel very proud."
Although Li Yufei tried her best to suppress her emotions, something still unconsciously leaked out in her expression when she spoke.
Shen Yumo looked at his sister and suddenly understood something.
She suddenly remembered that her sister had told her some time ago about a boy she liked.
At that time, my sister said that she liked him, but he already had a partner.
And according to my sister, that person is also very talented and has great literary talent.
If that's the case, then...
As thoughts flashed through his mind, Shen Yumo made a decision.
She said to Shen Yumo, "Yufei, when I came back from Chengjiazhuang last year, you went out to play."
"Otherwise, you two would have known each other a long time ago."
"Cheng Xuyuan, she is the little sister you didn't see when you came to my house last year."
Did Cheng Xuyuan go to Shen Yumo’s home last year?
What was going on? Now it was Zhang Dening's turn to be shocked.
She always felt that Shen Yumo and Cheng Xuyuan didn't know each other.
But in the current situation, the two people not only know each other, but are also very familiar with each other. This...
As he was wondering, some scenes appeared in Zhang Dening's mind.
It seemed like Shen Yumo was deliberately avoiding Cheng Xuyuan most of the time.
For example, this time when she came to Yenching University, she originally didn't want to come, but Zou Yanlai simply didn't tell her the place and asked her to come directly.
besides……
As thoughts flashed through his mind, Zhang Dening stared at Cheng Xuyuan and Shen Yumo with wide eyes, not knowing what to say at this moment.
Li Yufei also felt shocked and panicked.
Of course she knew what day Shen Yumo was talking about.
That was the day when her second brother-in-law, who came from the countryside and was said to be going to divorce her second sister, came to visit them.
At that time, everyone in the family said that his arrival was nothing to worry about.
I didn’t have to stay at home, so I went out to play with my classmates.
But I didn't expect that I missed the meeting with Cheng Xuyuan.
Otherwise, I should have known long ago that Xu Lingyun is the second brother-in-law in my family who is looked down upon by everyone.
Whether it was from her parents or her brothers, her second brother-in-law was not worthy of her second sister.
Moreover, the two of them got married due to special circumstances. My second sister even made a prenuptial agreement for my second brother-in-law, saying that they needed to cultivate their relationship for three years.
In my eyes at that time, my second brother-in-law was just a simple farmer's son.
He is a good man, but he is definitely not worthy of his second sister.
But I didn't expect that this person was Cheng Xuyuan! Now these two people, this...
While Li Yufei was thinking about it, Cheng Xuyuan said with a smile: "So she is your little sister. It's really unexpected."
"Li Yufei, let me introduce myself again. I am Cheng Xuyuan."
Li Yufei was a little overwhelmed and said, "Cheng... Second brother-in-law, ah, it should be... hello!"
