Chapter 590 A Heart-Touching Meeting
"Shen Yumo wants to have dinner with me... with me?" Fang Yuqing's voice trembled when she heard the news.
For Cheng Xuyuan, she wanted to have more contact with Xiao An'an.
No matter what, Xiao Anan is Cheng Xuyuan's son.
It is only right for her to go and see him.
But now, we not only meet, but also sit down and have a meal together.
But after being surprised, she smiled and said, "Let's have a meal together, Xuyuan. I think we should find a more upscale place for this meal."
For Cheng Xuyuan, he had no opinion on where to eat the meal.
As long as there is no quarreling scene.
He did not expect Shen Yumo and Fang Yuqing to put aside their prejudices and become friends, but in his heart, he still hoped that the two would not become enemies.
Just when Cheng Xuyuan was about to agree, Fang Yuqing said, "It's not good to be too high-end. If so, Shen Yumo will think I'm showing off on purpose."
Cheng Xuyuan was speechless for a while, but he still smiled and said, "Okay, I'll choose a restaurant that's neither too high nor too low, and we'll have a good meal."
"Okay, I'll come find you tomorrow morning."
"Come with me to the mall. I'll pick out a gift for An An."
"After all, this is the first time I've met him, too."
Cheng Xuyuan naturally would not refuse Fang Yuqing's request.
However, Fang Yuqing's next words made Cheng Xuyuan really not know how to respond.
"Xuyuan, do you think I should buy something for Sister Yumo?"
Hearing this question, Cheng Xuyuan really had a headache.
If I say I will buy it, it seems a little wrong. But if I say I won’t buy it, it also seems a little wrong.
After hesitating for a while, Cheng Xuyuan said to Fang Yuqing: "Yuqing, please think about this first."
"I think it doesn't really matter whether you buy it or not."
Fang Yuqing hesitated for a moment after hearing Cheng Xuyuan's answer and said, "Then think about it carefully and we'll decide when we meet tomorrow."
Fang Yuqing talked about this meeting for seven or eight minutes.
During these seven or eight minutes, most of the time she talked about was about how her meeting with Shen Yumo should be.
Hearing these words, Cheng Xuyuan knew that Fang Yuqing attached great importance to this meeting with Shen Yumo and was also quite worried.
Although he really wanted to comfort Fang Yuqing, for a moment, he didn't know how to comfort her.
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Xuyuan pondered over his decision and a doubt arose in his mind, that is, whether it was right or wrong for him to facilitate this meeting.
Although Cheng Xuyuan felt vaguely that he had done a good job, he inexplicably felt a little uneasy in his heart.
The next morning, Cheng Xuyuan began to think about where to eat.
Many restaurants nowadays basically don’t have private rooms. Even if you are entertaining guests, you can only sit in the hall to eat.
Just as Cheng Xuyuan was thinking, Fang Yuqing had already driven over.
Fang Yuqing, dressed in light green clothes, looked carefully prepared. Not only did she look beautiful and elegant, but she also gave people a feeling of youth and vigor.
"Have you booked a place to eat?" Fang Yuqing asked anxiously as soon as they met.
Cheng Xuyuan said: "I haven't decided where to eat yet, why don't we think about which restaurant is more suitable..."
Before Cheng Xuyuan finished speaking, Fang Yuqing said solemnly: "Xuyuan, I thought about it yesterday. Xiao Anan is too young. If we eat outside, it will be too much for the child."
Hearing Fang Yuqing say this, Cheng Xuyuan nodded slightly.
For children, eating out is definitely not as good as eating at home.
When Fang Yuqing saw that Cheng Xuyuan agreed with what she said, the smile on her face widened a little.
She said in a deep voice: "So I thought, why don't we have the meal at home."
"My brother has a friend who is the chef of Haiwanju. He happens to be on vacation today, so my brother asked him to help us cook a meal."
Fang Yuqing said with a smile: "We just need to prepare the ingredients for cooking."
Cheng Xuyuan's kitchen has also been well decorated.
Although it is not used much, it has everything it needs.
If you invite a chef to come and cook, you can definitely give it your all.
Cheng Xuyuan never expected that Fang Yuqing actually invited the chef from Haiwanju.
This is also a solution.
He hesitated for a moment and said, "I haven't bought any groceries yet. Shall we go buy some?"
“I just don’t know what dishes people are making and what ingredients they need.”
When Fang Yuqing saw that Cheng Xuyuan agreed with her opinion, a smile immediately appeared on her face.
She smiled and said, "Don't worry, my brother has already made an appointment with them, and they will bring the materials."
"We just have to pay the bill last."
At this point, Fang Yuqing took Cheng Xuyuan's hand and said, "I thought about it all night yesterday, but I still don't know what to buy for Xiao An'an."
"Come with me to the supermarket."
Cheng Xuyuan naturally would not refuse Fang Yuqing's request.
It was still early, so he said, "Let's go to the Friendship Store and see what's good to buy."
As the two were talking, they drove towards the Friendship Store.
Just as the two of them were setting off, Shen Yumo in the Overseas Chinese Apartment was listening to his mother Li Xueling's nagging.
"Yumo, what's there for you and Fang Yuqing to meet?"
"I tell you, if you see her, you will only make yourself unhappy."
"If you ask me, you'd better not meet this kind of person."
Listening to her mother's words, Shen Yumo forced a smile and said, "Mom, no matter what, she will be Xiao An'an's stepmother in the future."
"Even though we don't live together, I can't hide it if he wants to meet me."
"Besides, it's no big deal to meet up."
Li Xueling looked at her daughter who didn't care, sighed and said, "Yumo, it's easy for you to say this now, but you will know how hard it is when the time comes."
"They are the future husband and wife, and you and Cheng Xuyuan are a divorced couple."
"You will feel better if you see them as a family."
"Xiao An An will feel better."
Shen Yumo's heart trembled, although she tried to comfort herself, the divorce was proposed by her family.
When facing Fang Yuqing, I should be very calm.
But at this moment, her mother's words still made her feel a little uncomfortable.
There is only one reason why she did this, and that is that Cheng Xuyuan is simply too outstanding.
It is precisely because of Cheng Xuyuan's excellence that...
Throwing the thought in his mind aside, Shen Yumo said, "Mom, things have come to this point, please don't say anything."
"Can I still say I don't want to see you anymore?"
"Wouldn't that just make people look down on you?"
Shen Yumo did not say who this family was, but Li Xueling, as the mother, automatically thought of Fang Yuqing as this family.
Thoughts flashed through her mind, and she felt that what her daughter said made sense.
Under the current circumstances, if we don't meet, it seems that there will be no benefit other than hurting my daughter's face further.
After hesitating for a while, she said to Shen Yumo: "Yumo, go by yourself, I'm still a little worried."
"How about this, I'll let your sister-in-law go with you."
Although Li Xueling did not say which sister-in-law should go with her, after hearing his mother's decision, Shen Yumo felt that his mother was a little unreliable.
For this kind of thing, whether it was the eldest sister-in-law or the second sister-in-law Ma Xiaoli, it would not be a big deal! She looked at her mother and said, "Mom, why don't you let them go? Why don't you just follow me?"
Li Xueling was speechless when she heard her daughter's sarcastic words.
She knew that her daughter said this out of anger, but for some reason, her heart was moved.
If I go with them, neither Cheng Xuyuan nor Fang Yuqing would dare to do anything to their daughter and nephew? But if I go alone...
Looking at his hesitant mother, Shen Yumo quickly waved his hands and said, "Mom, if you go over there, it will be a disgrace to our family."
"I'm telling you, no matter what time it is, you don't need to get involved in this kind of thing!"
Li Xueling agreed with her daughter's words.
Although she felt sorry for her daughter, she also knew that if she went with him, her daughter would become a laughing stock in the eyes of others.
After hesitating for a moment, she said in a deep voice: "Yu Mo, I can't go over there."
"But it's still okay for your sister to go with you."
"She is a classmate of Fang Yuqing and knows Cheng Xuyuan."
"Besides, if you go this way, you'll need someone to help you take care of the child."
"Yu Fei is quite suitable."
Shen Yumo felt a headache. She tried every way to persuade Li Xueling several times, but all in vain.
Li Xueling seemed to have been convinced by herself and felt that it was a good choice for Li Yufei to follow Shen Yumo.
Faced with his mother's insistence, Shen Yumo hesitated for a moment before saying to his mother, "Mom, you can let Yufei take it over."
"But when Yu Fei goes there, she must listen to me."
"If she doesn't listen to me and talks nonsense, I will just kick her out."
Li Xueling knew Shen Yumo's temper, and agreeing to let Li Yufei go was already the biggest concession.
And this time she asked Li Yufei to go with her not to cause trouble for Cheng Xuyuan and Fang Yuqing.
She just wanted to prevent Shen Yumo from suffering any loss or injustice.
She believed that with her little daughter around, she would not suffer any loss even if she listened to Shen Yumo in everything.
"Okay, I'll make Yu Fei listen to you."
After the two of them had agreed, they called Li Yufei over.
Li Yufei, who was originally lying in bed and taking a nap, immediately became energetic when she heard that she was going to have dinner with Fang Yuqing with Shen Yumo.
"Sister, don't worry, I will definitely take care of this matter for you."
"Mom, I will never let my sister suffer any injustice as long as I am here."
"If my sister has been wronged, you can ask me."
Hearing Li Yufei's assurance, a slight smile appeared on Li Xueling's face.
She patted Li Yufei's shoulder and said, "I feel relieved when you are here."
"I'm telling you, if Cheng Xuyuan and Fang Yuqing make your sister suffer, don't let them get away with it. I'll take responsibility for anything that happens."
Her mother's words made Li Yufei more energetic.
Shen Yumo said to Li Yufei: "Okay, let's just go out for a meal. It's not as complicated as you think."
"Li Yufei, let me tell you, you must listen to me this time."
"If you do anything during this meal, don't blame me for being rude."
Hearing her sister's warning, Li Yufei hurriedly said, "Sister, don't worry, I will absolutely listen to you."
"Of course, this is based on the premise that they dare not bully you."
Shen Yumo felt a little scared when he saw his mother still giving him instructions.
She hurriedly said, "Mom, it's already nine o'clock."
"Yu Fei and I have to leave, otherwise we will miss this bus."
Li Xueling waved her hand and said, "Don't worry about the ride."
"I've already told your second brother that he will come pick you up in a little while in the car that his company just bought."
"Just wait at home."
When Shen Yumo heard that his second brother was coming to pick him up in a car, he felt anxious.
She really didn't want to tell too many people about her dinner at Cheng Xuyuan's place.
But she was a little helpless about her mother's decision.
What's more, it is still winter now. If you can take a car, it will be safer than waiting for a bus in the cold wind.
Little An An is also more comfortable.
"Okay, thanks, Mom." Shen Yumo thanked his mother as his mind raced.
Li Xueling waved her hand and said, "We are all family, what are you thanking me for?"
"I can't let my daughter down."
In just over ten minutes, Shen Yulin drove over in an 80% new car.
After saying hello to Li Xueling, the car started quickly with Shen Yumo and the other two.
When the car left the Overseas Chinese Apartment, Shen Yumo said to Shen Yulin: "Brother, I'm sorry to bother you again with this matter today."
"What's the problem? Your problem is our family's problem." Shen Yulin said while driving: "Yumo, just be honest during this meal."
"We don't owe him Cheng Xuyuan or anything, so you don't have to worry too much."
Hearing Shen Yulin say this, Shen Yumo felt a little warm in his heart.
After all, these are all my relatives here.
Shen Yulin also knew that it was not appropriate to say too much to Shen Yumo now, so he immediately turned his conversation to Li Yufei.
"Yu Fei, I'll leave your second sister to you this time. If you can do it beautifully, I'll treat you to a good meal when I come back."
Li Yufei said with a smile: "Don't worry, second brother, I will definitely be a qualified bodyguard this time and will never let my sister and Xiao Anan suffer any grievances."
"Then I'll wait and see." Shen Yulin said seriously.
The car drove very fast, and in the blink of an eye it arrived at the gate of the Yanjing Writers Association.
Looking at the Cultural Association compound where people had resumed work, Shen Yumo felt a little touched.
After all, I used to work here.
Now, in the blink of an eye, it has been more than a year and a half since I left here.
I don’t know when I will be able to walk into this office building again.
Although Shen Yumo's heart was filled with melancholy at this moment, she still concealed it well.
She didn't want her second brother and sister to be unhappy because of her affairs.
"Second sister, what do you think about me coming to Yanjing Arts and Literature for an internship?" Li Yufei said, looking at the gate of Yanjing Arts and Literature.
Shen Yumo glared at Li Yufei and said, "Haven't you already decided to intern at Contemporary Art? Why do you want to come to Yanjing Arts and Literature?"
"I'm telling you, our dad has already taken care of everything about you, so don't think too much about it." Before Shen Yumo could say anything, Shen Yulin educated his little sister without any politeness.
As the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father. Although Shen Yulin is not the eldest in the family, Li Yufei still has to listen to what he says.
Shen Yumo looked at Li Yufei who was not convinced and said with a smile: "Yufei, Yanjing literature and art is very good, but contemporary literature is also good."
"You can go anywhere for internship, but since Contemporary has already made its decision, don't bother."
As they were talking, the car had already arrived at the door of Cheng Xuyuan's house.
Just as they parked the car, a tricycle drove over quickly.
One person pedaled the tricycle, and another sat on the side of the tricycle, on which were placed a lot of vegetables and meat.
Among them, the most eye-catching one is a big carp placed in a basin, which looks like it weighs about five or six kilograms.
The tricycle stopped next to Shen Yulin's black car. The man on the tricycle looked at the house number and said with a smile, "Brother, this is it."
"Let's stop the car."
Seeing two people pushing the cart towards the courtyard, Shen Yumo couldn't help but ask, "Who are you looking for?"
"Let's look for Cheng Xuyuan."
"He invited us to come and cook, so we came here early in the morning." The middle-aged man in the lead looked at Shen Yumo and said, "Excuse me, who are you..."
"I'm Cheng Xuyuan's friend." Shen Yumo said with a smile.
"It seems that Mr. Cheng must have invited you to dinner this time. You are really lucky to have a friend like Mr. Cheng."
There was a hint of emotion in the middle-aged man's voice.
Li Yufei was about to speak when she was stopped by Shen Yulin.
He smiled and said, "Masters, what specialties are you going to prepare for us this time?"
Hearing Shen Yulin's question, the two of them did not hide anything and quickly introduced several dishes they were going to cook.
Although the cooking of these dishes is not too precious, they sound very delicious.
However, when they pushed open the half-open door, they found that there was no one in the courtyard.
"They invited us to dinner, but there's no one at home. This is so outrageous!" Li Yufei said in a deep voice when she saw this situation.
Shen Yumo was just about to speak when he heard the sound of a car.
As the car stopped, Cheng Xuyuan's face appeared from the car window.
He glanced at Shen Yumo, then smiled and said, "I just went out to buy some things, so I'm not at home."
"I really didn't expect you all to come so early."
As he spoke, he greeted Shen Yulin again, "Brother Yulin."
Shen Yulin nodded gently and said, "Since you are back, I will leave first."
"I have something else to do. I'll drive over to pick up Yu Mo at 1:30 pm."
Cheng Xuyuan listened to Shen Yulin's somewhat unquestionable words and said with a smile: "Brother Yulin, we are not strangers, why don't we have a meal together."
Just when Cheng Xuyuan made the invitation, Fang Yuqing had already gotten out of the car.
She hesitated for a moment and then walked towards Shen Yumo.
