Chapter 63: Family Feast I

This year's National Day and the Mid-Autumn Festival are the same day, a day of celebration for the whole world, and a day for family reunion.

Chang An had just returned from shopping at the supermarket and was just about to open the door and enter the house when a voice stopped him.

"Chang'an?"

Chang An turned around and saw Shen Zilan's figure, she was standing at the door of Gu Li's house. Today, she is wearing a white lace dress, not as sexy and charming as when I first saw her, and today she has a kind of freshness and sweetness of the sister next door.

"Sister Zilan. Chang An called her with a smile.

The first time they met, Shen Zilan left a good impression on Chang An, she was the president of HE, a well-known listed company in Y City.

How difficult it is for a twenty-seven-eight-year-old woman to manage a company so well! However, in Chang An's opinion, she doesn't seem to have any president's stand, and every time she sees her, she is very friendly and smiling. And... There is always some emotion in his eyes that Chang An can't understand.

The moment Shen Zilan saw Chang An, he realized. No wonder Gu Li's kid was reluctant to go to her vacant apartment to live, it turned out to be for the sake of being close to the water, and moved to the opposite door of other girls' houses quietly, and he didn't look up every day...... This younger brother, finally enlightened?

I have to say that Shen Zilan is still very talented in making up plots. If you don't become the president of the company, you can change your career to become an editor.

Shen Zilan smiled and greeted Chang An. At this time, the door opened, and Gu Li came out from inside.

Shen Zilan feigned anger: "I've been ringing the doorbell for a long time, and you're only opening the door for me now?"

"I didn't hear you. Gu Li replied simply.

Shen Zilan glanced at him, and said, "Mid-Autumn Festival, why don't you go home?"

"I don't want to. ”

"I've arranged all the family banquet tonight, you have to come home with me. Shen Zilan put away the smile he had just smiled at Chang An, and turned to a serious face, finally having a bit of the majesty of a president.

"Don't go. ”

"If you don't go, forget it. Shen Zilan's eyes flickered, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, obviously she had thought of some good idea.

She turned around and said to Chang An: "Chang An, that bastard boy is not going, you can go." Originally, there weren't many people in the family, but if you go, it will be a lot more lively. ”

"Sister Zilan, it's not appropriate for me to go. "Chang An excused herself, other people's family banquets, she went as an outsider, it doesn't seem very good?

"There are not many people in the family, you are here, and it is more lively, so you don't have to excuse yourself. Shen Zilan's eyes were full of smiles.

After several invitations, Chang An had to compromise, the so-called hospitality was difficult, she finally nodded and agreed, "Then I'll put things down and change my clothes by the way." ”

"It's okay, there's no hurry, it's still early. ”

With that, Shen Zilan followed Chang An into the house. She walked over to the couch and sat down gracefully. Gu Li also walked in and sat down opposite her. Chang An made a cup of tea for each of them, turned around and went into the house to change clothes.

Shen Zilan didn't seem to feel Gu Li's existence, she drank tea by herself, and didn't speak again, until Chang An came out of the room, she moved the corners of her lips, looked at Chang An in an apricot dress, and couldn't help but praise: "It's so good-looking." ”

At that time, Gu Li was about to drink tea, his eyes raised slightly when he heard the sound, and the next second he paused, the water cup stopped in mid-air, and he was stunned.

Chang An's usual dresses tend to be casual, and occasionally change his style, which does have a feeling of brightness, which makes his heart beat a beat faster.

However, Gu Li only paused for a few seconds, his expression was as usual, and he looked cold from beginning to end, making it impossible for people to discover his little emotions at all.

However, Shen Zilan is different from ordinary people, she can sit in the position of president, her eyes are naturally vicious, she just glanced at it, and she caught Gu Li's strangeness. She pursed her lips and chuckled, but she wouldn't poke anything, and chatted with Chang An for a few words.

The time was fast, but after a little chat, the clock stopped at four o'clock. Shen Zilan got up, grabbed Chang An's arm, and pulled her out, ignoring Gu Li behind him.

The two stepped out of Chang An's house and walked towards the elevator, Chang An just wanted to say something, but was stopped by Shen Zilan. She didn't speak, just tapped Chang An between her fingers and shook her head slightly.

Chang An has always been smart, and immediately understood, silently waiting with Shen Zilan at the elevator entrance.

"Ding-" The elevator opened, and Chang An and Shen Zilan walked in together. When the elevator door was about to close, a pair of slender hands reached in, and then, the elevator door opened wide, and Gu Li walked in.

The long figure obscured part of their view. Shen Zilan lowered her eyebrows and smiled lightly, she knew that he would go. Her own brother, can she still understand?

The three of them got into the car, and the car drove all the way, and not long after, it stopped in front of a small villa.

Chang An glanced around, and I have to say that there are always some similarities in the family, even the location is so similar.

Now the place where Chang'an is standing is a small hill located in the east of Y City, and the villa in front of him covers a small area, and the European architectural style looks like it has been some years, but looking at this decoration, you will know that the price is not cheap.

Chang An walked into the villa, the hall was very cold, except for a young man sitting on the sofa, there was no one else. He seemed to hear the noise, turned his head, and looked at the door.

Chang An approached, and when he saw the familiar side face, a trace of surprise flashed on his face, "Zhao Jian?"

"Chang An?" he paused, then got up with a smile, obviously, he was also a little surprised by Chang An's arrival.

When the clock struck six o'clock, the butler came out of the kitchen and set a table full of them. Then Chang An saw that two figures came down from upstairs. Shen Zilan greeted them and whispered a few words in their ears.

Standing beside Shen Zilan were a man and a woman, middle-aged. Chang An probably guessed that these two should be Gu Li's parents. The middle-aged man had a cold face, exactly the same as Gu Li's appearance.

Chang An said politely: "Uncle and aunt are good." ”

The middle-aged man just nodded faintly and sat down.

And the middle-aged woman smiled and shook Chang An's hand, "Okay, good." ”

When dinner began, everyone sat down, and it was clear that the table was full of people, but there was silence during the banquet. Chang An has also adapted to such a eating pattern, and Gu Li's "food without words" may come from this.

After dinner, there was a little less seriousness on the table, a little more lively, everyone sat on the sofa and chatted, and Chang An also roughly understood some of the situation.

The amiable middle-aged woman was Gu Li's stepmother, named Wang Ya. The middle-aged man who had no expression like Gu Li and was very serious was his father, Shen Jianfei. His biological mother died when he was very young. And Zhao Jian's family, who live abroad all the year round, is a world friend with the Shen family, and he will come over today, completely under the entrustment of his family.

Aunt Wang is chatting with Zhao Jian, since he worked, he rarely came to the house as a guest, and today he came, so he took the opportunity to chat with him more, after all, she always remembered a certain "task". Chang An was dragged by Shen Zilan to chat, most of them were talking about some old things, all about Gu Li.

And the remaining two, the movements are exactly the same, the father and son each hold today's Times, watching quietly, even if they sit face to face, there is no half of a greeting. It can be seen that the relationship between the father and son is not very harmonious, but rather alienated.

"Little Jane, do you have a girlfriend?" Aunt Wang asked him.

Zhao Jian smiled and shook his head. Before stepping into the villa, he didn't know that the parents of both sides intended to match him and Shen Zilan, so they called him to the Shen family's family banquet.

And now, he can't pretend that he doesn't know, and in the casual conversation with Aunt Wang, everything is clear. He turned his head and looked in the direction of Shen Zilan, she was talking to Chang An on the side, some distance from him, and her voice was very soft, so that he couldn't really hear it, but seeing that they were talking and laughing, they should be chatting about something happy.

His eyes looked at Shen Zilan, his thoughts drifted a little far away, remembering that the two were the same age, and they grew up together, and later went to the same university, although the majors were different, they also intersected. However, it seems that the two people are too familiar, and they don't have the urge to fall in love.

Both of them are considered to be popular figures in college, Zhao Jian is handsome and handsome, has good grades, good temper, and good family background, which simply encompasses the advantages of many boys, and has become a male god in the minds of girls. And Shen Zilan is not bad, she also has good grades, a good family background, a good temper, and she is also beautiful, and there are many boys who pursue her, and she is the envy of every girl.

Although the two have never officially dating, in order to avoid those rotten peach blossoms, they pretended to be a couple for four years. Two people walk together, very compatible, like a beautiful landscape, as long as the two appear together, there will always be envious eyes around.

At that time, it was not embarrassing to pretend to be a couple, but now, the parents of both parties intend to match the two of them, but Zhao Jian is a little embarrassed.

After a long time, Zhao Jian came back to her senses and said with a gentle smile: "Aunt Wang, after saying so much, I'm a little thirsty, I like to eat rock sugar pears made by you the most, I haven't eaten them for many years." ”

"Okay, I'll do it for you. With that, Aunt Wang got up and got up.

Zhao Jian watched Aunt Wang walk into the kitchen and breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that he was still young and had no plans to find a girlfriend for the time being.

He moved his gaze back to Shen Zilan, who was still chatting with Chang An with a smile on her face. Looking at her profile, her thoughts were once again confused. Although she and him are childhood sweethearts, Zhao Jian once heard her say in person that she has someone she likes, but it is not him.

In this case, I still have to find a time to explain it clearly to my family, so as not to add some unnecessary troubles, Zhao Jian thought so, and lowered his head with a smile. It's just that even he doesn't know it, and when he thinks of those past events, his eyes are slightly lost.
