Chapter 63: Jealousy
This proposal startled Shi Xiaoai.
She finally understood why she had always felt that Grandma Lu had a sense of familiarity.
It turned out that he saw the shadow of the doudou in her.
This is what it will look like decades later. It's not bad to think about, happy old lady.
"Grandma, don't scare people. Fan Yunchen helped Shi Xiaoai out of the siege, "Where do you call people to a family gathering when you meet for the first time." It's not that you don't know how many people there are today, and how much novelty my aunts and aunts have. ”
Hearing her say this, Shi Xiaoai didn't dare to go, so she could only euphemistically excuse herself: "Thank you, Grandma Lu." Or next time I'll treat you to dinner. I know that there is a good mutton in Dongcheng, and when it is winter, let's go together. ”
"Okay, that's settled. You leave me a phone first. Grandma Lu opened her backpack and flipped through her phone, but she didn't find it, so she asked Grandpa Fan in the front row, "Where is my phone?"
Grandpa Fan's backpack was still on his shoulders, and he was wearing a seat belt, so it was not easy to take it off.
"Grandma, don't worry. I'll ask Miss Shi for it later, and I'll give it to you, okay. Fan Yunchen stopped his grandfather's dangerous attempt to loosen his seat belt.
"That's right. It's better for you young people to leave the phone. Grandma Lu nodded and agreed.
Soon, Shi Xiaoai noticed that the car had driven to the vicinity of her home.
"Find a place to put me down. Shi Xiaoai said to Fan Yunchen.
"Eh, how can this work? Chenchen, you send us back first, and then send Xiao Ai home. Grandma Lu arranged.
"No, no. My house is not far from here. It's not good to delay your dinner. Shi Xiaoai resigned again and again.
"What's the delay, isn't it just a meal, I've eaten it for decades, and these people are tired of watching it. ”
Thinking of how much his grandmother attached importance to the weekly family dinner on weekdays, Fan Yunchen couldn't help but laugh secretly.
A sense of ritual, life needs a sense of ritual!
In the tone set by grandma, the elders are preparing every week, whether at home or in the restaurant, they try to ensure that the color and flavor are complete.
Today, my cousin also specially prepared a bouquet of fiery red roses, just to make grandma smile.
Now it seems that what grandma needs is a granddaughter-in-law or granddaughter-in-law, and even more so a great-grandchild.
Who calls his generation all sons, and they are all single at the moment.
Today, I realized how much my grandmother dislikes these people.
The car drove directly to the garage.
Shi Xiaoai followed Fan Yunchen to send the two old men to the elevator, and was about to say goodbye, when Fan Yunchen said, "Grandma, I'll take a leave." At noon, I invited Miss Shi to dinner, so I didn't participate in the dinner. ”
Shi Xiaoai looked at this classmate who did not play cards according to common sense in surprise.
"No problem. Enjoy your meal. Grandma Lu readily agreed, completely forgetting the rules she had set: in principle, no one should be absent from the family dinner.
Grandpa Fan felt that the development of the plot was a little biased, although this was his own grandson, but thinking about meeting the young junior on the mountain, he was a little unbearable, and muttered: "This...... That ......"
Grandma Lu quickly chose the floor, pressed the closing button, shook her hand at Shi Xiaoai with a smile, and instructed Fan Yunchen: "Have a good meal, the money is not enough for grandma to reimburse." ”
"Not so well. The moment the elevator door closed, Grandpa Fan finally spoke his heart.
"What's so bad? Fair play. Grandma Lu said.
"I know you're anxious about your children's marriage, but it's also up to their parents to worry about, and you and I can't interfere. ”
"What's the matter? When Chenchen's mother married my son, I didn't object at all. Now why is she against my grandson's free love? ”
Where is this, Grandpa Fan knows that this is nonsense, but he has never won his wife in a quarrel in his life.
For the sake of the peace of his life, he consciously chose to shut up.
Besides, the junior on the mountain today is not a person who will give up easily.
Xiao Ai saw the awkwardness of that person, and she could feel it. Obviously, the two of them have a deep relationship.
This time, Grandpa Fan felt that his wife would definitely be disappointed, and he was inexplicably a little excited in his heart.
Outside the elevator door, Shi Xiaoai crossed her hands on her hips and tilted her head to stare at Fan Yunchen.
"Do you want to call your boyfriend?" Fan Yunchen said with a smile, "When we separated, the way he looked at my car, I even suspected that he would drive behind."
"He's not my boyfriend. Shi Xiaoai emphasized again, and showed a meaningful smile, waved his hand and said, "Don't interrupt, if you want to get information from me today, you really have to invite me to a good meal." ”
Shi Xiaoai guessed her true intentions so quickly, and Fan Yunchen admired it very much: "Sure enough, I graduated from C University, and I am as smart as my grandmother." ”
"You don't have to wear a top hat. You might as well say that we're all so keen on gossip. Shi Xiaoai was very sober and refused the first wave of attacks with sugar-coated bombs.
......
Fan Yunchen guessed half right, Lin Li did drive over. However, he did not follow them behind the car, but went directly to Shi Xiaoai's house.
For a long time, the reason why Lin Li dared to adopt this method of simmering slowly to deal with the relationship between him and Shi Xiaoai was because he knew Shi Xiaoai very well.
He speculated that Shi Xiaoai should not go to Doudou and Jasmine.
After all, the former is only in love, and the latter has to stay in the hospital. At this time, causing trouble to friends is not Shi Xiaoai's style.
In addition, she doesn't like to exercise at all on weekdays, so she only finished climbing the mountain in the morning, and now she mostly chooses to go home and lie down.
But the frequent situations in the past few days made Lin Li realize that the Shi Xiaoai he knew was the senior sister and alumnus, and once the relationship between the two changed, his previous experience was a little unreliable.
There's always going to be a bit of a mistake anyway.
No, it's the same today.
Before Lin Li's car drove to the community where Shi Xiaoai lived, she saw the car she was riding in turn from another road.
Those two old men would send her home?
Lin Li originally thought that Shi Xiaoai would go down the mountain with them at most. After all, I only met today, and I can't be considered an acquaintance.
But even more surprising things are yet to come.
The car did not enter the community, but parked on the side of the road.
I saw Shi Xiaoai walking down from the passenger seat. Didn't she sit in the back row? Lin Li's heart suddenly sounded an alarm bell.
Sure enough, a young man came out of the cab. There didn't seem to be anyone else in the car.
The two of them entered a Hong Kong-style tea restaurant on the second floor of the street.
Lin Li remembered that Shi Xiaoai liked to eat this family's teriyaki chicken thigh rice.
Is this retribution?
Lin Li in the car couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to pull the car aside.
He didn't think that Shi Xiaoai was trying to take revenge on himself.
He also believes that Shi Xiaoai will never treat personal feelings casually because of his and Shen Yanni's affairs.
It's just that he really can't find a reasonable reason to explain what he sees.
The man who led the first meeting came from near home, talking and laughing, eating and drinking, which was completely beyond his understanding of Shi Xiaoai.
Well, he admitted, it's jealousy.
Thanks to his father's polishing of himself in the past few years, he didn't dare to say anything else, and Lin Li's ability to bear it improved significantly.
He took out his phone and gave Chairman Kim a call.
"Hello, Chairman Kim...... I'd like to ask you about someone. Today in the mountains, I met an old-timer who is also a graduate of the architecture department of C University, surnamed Fan, and is relatively old. His wife is also C-big, and her surname seems to be Lu ...... Oh, you know it, right...... That's great. Yes, we have a project recently and would like to hear the opinions of senior experts in the industry...... Yes, yes...... Oh, yes? That's a good fit. Can you send me a copy of the specifics? Um, um, okay, thank you. Lin Li was about to hang up the phone, but Chairman Kim mentioned another matter.
"You said Yanni...... Yes, we are, college classmates, in the same class, and we have known each other before...... Her family is not here, as far as I know, she came to the city for work...... Well, her proposal is good...... Okay, I won't bother you. Good bye. ”
President Jin of the People had already seen the undercurrent surging at the top of the mountain this morning, Lin Li, Shi Xiaoai and Shen Yanni. Although he didn't know the inside story, it didn't prevent him from being a little tempted on the phone.
Why did Lin Li suddenly inquire about Old Master Fan?
President Jin watched Shi Xiaoai follow the old lady Lu today.
The things between men and women, let's say it's complicated, but in fact, those routines are those routines. Chairman Kim guessed eight or nine and did not leave ten.
Judging from Lin Li's attitude, he still insisted on standing on Shi Xiaoai's side.
That Xiao Shen is actually not a bad person, but there should be no hope, it's a pity.
