Chapter 106: What Are You Doing So Late?
It is precisely because the development of the Lin family is getting worse and worse that Lin Yunsi wants to marry to help the Lin family.
The development of the Lin family is not good, so it is more difficult for a man to marry a woman with a high family, but it is easier for a woman to marry someone with better conditions.
It's a pity that the Lin family is prosperous and weak, and there are few girls of Lin Yunsi's generation, among which Lin Yajing has the best conditions, which is also the reason why the Lin family spoils her.
The Lin family, whose family is too high, does not dare to have extravagant expectations, after all, they are not as whimsical as the people of Chen Xiaowei's family, they are still a little self-aware after all.
So at first, Lin Yunsi hit the idea on the heads of Shen Yifeng and Gu Shengze, but he didn't expect to achieve Xu Jingyu by mistake in the end, which is even better.
It's not that the strength of the Xu family is stronger than the Gu family, but that the Xu family is a well-known favorite woman, and he feels that if Lin Yajing marries into the Xu family, she shouldn't suffer any grievances.
Song Yanjue still had the initial prejudice against the Xu family, "The reputation of the Xu family is so bad, is my cousin sure that Miss Lin will not be bullied after marrying in?"
Gu Shengze didn't dare to pack the ticket, but just guessed, "Xu is always known for loving his wife and daughter, and several young masters of the Xu family have been exposed to it since childhood, so they should also be a good husband." ”
Song Yanjue shook his head, "That's not necessarily, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has always been difficult, Miss Lin is an outsider after all, if there is any contradiction, then they must be standing on their own family, right?"
Gu Shengze had a better impression of Cheng Ying, "Mrs. Xu is a reasonable person, so she wouldn't treat Miss Lin like this, I thought that the Xu family had calculated that I was hiding it from her." ”
Song Yanjue looked at him thoughtfully, "Since I divorced Xu Anhao, my cousin seems to have changed his opinion of her and the Xu family, he used to be so disgusted, but now he actually says good things for them." ”
Gu Shengze worked hard to whitewash Xu Anhao and the Xu family, "Because Xu Anhao himself has changed, he is no longer annoying, and the Xu family's attitude towards me has also changed, so why should I hold on to the past?"
Shen Yifeng saw that he was dedicated to speaking for the Xu family, and the guess that once came to mind, he pretended to jokingly ask, "Aze, don't you like Xu Anhao?"
Gu Shengze had already decided to pursue Xu Anhao and strive to remarry her, so naturally he had to break Shen Xinyi's thoughts, and admitted calmly, "Yes, I like her!"
Song Yanjue's eyes widened in surprise, "Cousin, how can you like her? Even if she changes, Xu Anhao is still Xu Anhao, Xin Yi or Qing Zhuan, which one is not better than her?"
Gu Shengze shook his head, "It's not that whoever is good I have to like, but it depends on who my heart moves, just like I think Chen Xiaowei is not good, but you will still choose her!"
Song Yanjue was blocked and had nothing to say, he knew a lot of women with better conditions than Chen Xiaowei, and there were many who were interesting to him, but he still chose Chen Xiaowei.
This is love, a feeling that the heart can't help itself!
Because of Lin Yajing's relationship, Lin Yunsi has more contact with the Xu family than Shen Yifeng and Song Yanjue, so he naturally knows them better, and feels good about them.
So he also spoke for the Xu family, "The Xu family is actually not as bad as everyone says, they are just more protective, they are very good to their family, and they are good friends." ”
Song Yanjue wrinkled his nose, "It seems that Brother Yun Si has been completely bought by the Xu family, after all, he is also a person who is about to get married, so he has to stutter." ”
Lin Yunsi snorted, "Yanjue, how did you speak?"
Lin Yunsi disagreed, "He's right, I really want to confront the Xu family, and even our entire Lin family has to confront them, because they can really help us!"
Shen Yifeng didn't say anything more, the answer he wanted had already been obtained, what else was there to say, since Gu Shengze admitted that he liked Xu Anhao, then Shen Xinyi really had no chance.
Gu Shengze is a very thoughtful person, even his family can't control him, what can he do as an outsider? Do you still have to calculate him like the Xu family did at the beginning?
Shen Yifeng didn't want to or dare, otherwise let alone send Shen Xinyi to Mrs. Gu's position, I am afraid that my brotherhood with him for many years will be broken, this is a loss-making business!
Song Yanjue knew the Lin family's difficulties, they were in urgent need of help, and hurriedly apologized to Lin Yunsi, "I'm sorry, Brother Yunsi, I drank too much and didn't choose what to say, please forgive me." ”
Lin Yunsi smiled bitterly, "It's okay, in fact, sometimes I look down on myself, not only to sell my sister for glory, but also to lose my dignity!"
Gu Shengze stretched out his hand and patted Lin Yunsi's shoulder, "Don't talk about yourself like that, I believe that difficulties will pass, but it's a pity that our ability is limited and we can't help much." ”
Whether it was Gu Shengze, Shen Yifeng, or Song Yanjue, they had already helped the Lin family at the first time when they had difficulties, but it was not enough to solve the difficulties.
The Lin family is capital chain is broken, resulting in a series of follow-up problems, they can help in terms of funds, but there is no way to fill this bottomless pit, the Lin family must make money to make up for it.
The main industries of the Gu family, the Shen family and the Song family are different from those of the Lin family, although there is some intersection, there is no way to cooperate in large projects, but the Xu family has this industry.
As the saying goes, it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, if they can cooperate with the Xu family, have a big project to make a profit, and with some financial help from others, the Lin family can slowly get better.
Song Yanjue became more and more guilty, "Brother Yunsi, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I really don't mean that, you must not talk about yourself like this, otherwise I won't be able to forgive myself." ”
Shen Yifeng poured them full of wine, "Okay, Yunsi, Xiaojue, don't talk about it, dry this wine, this topic will end here, everyone is still good brothers!"
Gu Shengze was the first to echo, "Yifeng is right, this topic is over, don't talk about it, isn't it worth it to continue to hurt our brotherhood for many years?"
He had originally come to use alcohol to kill his sorrows, but he had to mediate other people's conflicts, and if he hurt them in his group's game, then he would have to feel guilty for the rest of his life.
Song Yanjue hurriedly picked up the wine glass and went to salute Lin Yunsi, "Brother Yunsi, I'll do it first!"
"Cheers too!" Lin Yunsi was not angry with him, but angry with himself, feeling that he was incompetent, he quickly picked up the wine glass when he saw this, and then raised his head and drank it dry.
This was the end of the matter, and they continued to drink and talk as if nothing had happened just now, and only they knew whether they paid attention to it or not.
***
Banshan Bay Villa, Xu Family.
The dinner had come to an end, and because there were guests, the people of the Xu family were very polite tonight, not as unscrupulous as usual.
However, it is not too serious, after all, the brothers and sisters of the Xu family are so familiar with Tang Yu and Tang Li, if they are too serious, they will be polite and outward, and there is no atmosphere.
Xu Jingting began to arrange after-dinner activities, "After the meal, we make tea and fruit after eating, Anbao can play chess with the third master, and Ah Li can play mahjong with us if he is interested." ”
"Mahjong? I don't, I've never played it before. "The Tang family thinks that this is gambling, and it is strictly forbidden for the clansmen to play this, but this kind of thing is not good for Tang Li to say directly.
Xu Jingting smiled, "It's okay, you can come with me, I'll teach you to play, we don't gamble, it's just pure entertainment, and we usually play with our own family." ”
"Don't gamble?" Tang Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but was also curious, "Is that fun?
Xu Jingting nodded again and again, "Of course it's fun, we will make some service coupons, such as pinching shoulders and legs, or getting game coupons, similar to Truth or Dare." ”
Tang Li was a little eager to try, "So that's the case, that sounds quite interesting." ”
The focus of the Tang family is on work, and they are usually very diligent in having dinners, but there is too little family entertainment, and they basically chat after eating, and only brain-consuming things such as playing chess are considered entertainment.
Tang Yu wants to accompany Xu Anhao to play chess, so naturally he won't participate in playing mahjong, and he can't play, if he can be with her in the future, he will learn it.
It's a service coupon again, it's a game ticket, it sounds like it's fun, and I don't know who came up with the idea, and when he learns it, he will come and win some tickets to play with.
After eating, the maid prepared tea and snacks, and then they went to the entertainment room, Xu Anhao and Tang Yu played chess, and the others set up to play mahjong.
Xu Rongda and his wife's family, Xu Jingting took Tang Li's family, Xu Jingyu and Xu Jingxuan each had one, exactly four families, and sat in four directions, east, west, north and south.
Xu Anhao was worried that the sound of mahjong would disturb Tang Yu, "Uncle, the sound of mahjong is a bit loud, why don't we play chess in another place, go to the tea room or the reception room." ”
"Okay, you can arrange it. Tang Yu did feel a little noisy, after all, in addition to the sound of mahjong machine shuffling, there was also the sound of them playing cards, all of which disturbed his thoughts.
Xu Anhao quickly took Tang Yu to the tea room, called the maid to make tea again, and prepared fruit snacks, there were only the two of them here, but it was a good environment to play chess.
Although Tang Yu has lived abroad for many years, the servants who take care of him are all sent from China, and they have actually been living a Chinese-style life, usually playing chess and practicing calligraphy when they have nothing to do.
His chess skills are very good, and when he plays chess with Old Man Tang, he will basically let him go, which is also a way to make the old man happy, so that the old man thinks that his chess skills are not good.
That night, I watched Xu Anhao play chess, Tang Yu knew that her chess skills were good, and she might be similar to him, so she didn't release the water, after all, it was not easy to meet an opponent, and not letting go was a sign of respect for her.
Xu Anhao only played for a while before he saw that his chess skills were very high, and asked him with a smile, "Uncle, when you played chess with your father, you should have deliberately let him be an old man, right?"
Tang Yu sighed faintly, "Hmm...... At first, I wanted to make his old man happy, but then I couldn't find a chance to prove myself, so I had to keep pretending to be stupid. ”
Xu An glanced at Tang Yu sympathetically, "That uncle is really hard, every time he plays chess with the old man, he has to find a way to make chess, this is a technical job." ”
Tang Yu was also helpless, "Yes, it's too obvious and easy to see, so people still don't lie, otherwise they will have to cover it up with countless lies!"
When it comes to this topic, Xu An is so kind-hearted, her identity is the biggest lie, and in order to cover up this secret, she doesn't know how many lies she has telled.
The two of them have the same chess skills, and they win or lose about the same after a few games, but the time for entertainment passes quickly, and it feels like they haven't played for long, but it's already late.
Tang Yu and Xu Anhao are just friends, and they are not confirmed as a couple, so it is naturally not good to live here, let alone Tang Li and Xu Jingting, so they have to go back.
Tang Li was reluctant to go back, tonight the people of the Xu family cooperated with Xu Jingting and deliberately released water to them, although she didn't set any lottery heads, but she won the night, and the more she played, the more excited she became.
Of course, Xu Jingting was reluctant to let Tang Li go back, and tried to keep her, "Ah Li, why don't you live in our house directly, anyway, tomorrow is Sunday, and we can continue to play." ”
"No, I have to go home and wash ......" Tang Li wanted to say take a bath, but when the words came to his lips, he realized that it was indecent to say this in front of a man, so he quickly changed his words bluntly, "Change clothes......
Xu An understood what she meant, and smiled to help her relieve her embarrassment, "It's okay, I have a lot of clothes, all new inside and out, we are about the same figure, Ah Li should be able to wear them." ”
Tang Yu felt that it was not good to live in someone else's house, it was too troublesome, so he helped refuse, "Let's go home, if Ali wants to play, you can come back tomorrow, or you can ask An An and them to go home to play." ”
Tang Li nodded again and again, "Yes, An An, a few brothers, why don't you go to our house tomorrow to play, I will let people buy mahjong machines early tomorrow morning, and you will teach my family to play mahjong." ”
Xu Jingyu apologized for refusing, "I'm sorry, Ali, I already have an appointment, and I don't have time tomorrow." ”
Xu Jingting pouted with envy and jealousy, "The eldest brother is busy falling in love with my future sister-in-law, it's already a miracle to come back so early tonight, alas...... I've run out of dog food. ”
Xu Jingyu usually wants to date Lin Yajing on weekends, and it just so happens that she has a friend who wants to sing K on her birthday, and it is inconvenient for girls to take him there, so he came back just in time to play mahjong.
Speaking of Xu Jingyu's love, Tang Li suddenly remembered, "Yes, Brother Xu is with Senior Sister Jing, it's really busy, I won't take up your time, haha......"
Tang Yu thought about his itinerary for a while, "Ah Li, your father and your brother and I have made an appointment to play golf tomorrow, and I can't learn mahjong tomorrow, why don't you wait until next week to arrange it?"
Tang Li patted his head, "Oops...... Uncle, I also remembered when you said this, I promised my mother to go to the SPA with her tomorrow, it seems that I really can't make an appointment tomorrow!"
Xu Anhao was actually reluctant to go to the Tang family, there were all elders over there, she was a little uncomfortable, "It's okay, we can make an appointment next time, there will be opportunities in the future." ”
Tang Yu nodded, "Hmm...... Then we'll go back first, I'm sorry to bother you so late. ”
"Uncle is too polite, let's send you down. Xu Anhao and his family sent Tang Yu's uncle and nephew to the yard, watched them get in the car and leave, and then turned around and went home.
As soon as Xu Anhao returned to the bedroom, the phone rang, it was Gu Shengze calling, she was slightly stunned, why did he call her so late?
As soon as the phone was connected, before Xu Anhao could say hello to Gu Shengze, his strange voice came from the other end of the phone, "Hey, Xu Anhao ......"
Listening to his obviously drunken voice, Xu Anhao's brows subconsciously furrowed, "Aze, are you drunk?"
No wonder he would call her in the middle of the night, it turned out that he had drunk too much, and he didn't know if he was out alone, or if there was a driver, or if he had already gone home.
Xu Anhao thought of so many questions from his simple words, there was no other reason than to care, and so caring about him was naturally because she liked him!
"Please come out at once, I'm outside your yard. Gu Shengze's tone was not very good, and there seemed to be a hint of unhappiness in his sourness, because he was really in a bad mood.
He drank the best, and drank the others, but he was not drunk enough to be unconscious, but his brain was more sober than when he was not drunk.
At this time, he received news from Fang Yi, saying that Tang Yu was still at Xu's house, and he didn't know if he wanted to stay overnight, so he immediately ended tonight's drinking party.
Lin Yunsi and the others were claimed by their respective drivers, and he asked Chen Bin to drive to the Banshanwan villa area and waited outside the Xu family's villa.
During the time of waiting, he thought a lot, and the most worrying thing was that Tang Yu and Xu An were talking about marriage, and he was going to live with her tonight.
Every time he thought that Xu Anhao would become Tang Yu's wife, making him completely lose the opportunity to have her, he felt a pain in his heart.
finally heard that the people of the Xu family were bidding farewell to Tang Yu's uncle and nephew in the courtyard, and then the Tang family's car came out, and finally walked away again, so he hurriedly called.
"Ah, what are you doing here so late?" Xu Anhao was surprised when he heard Gu Shengze's words, he didn't go home drunk in the middle of the night, but came to find her?
"I'll tell you when you come out, if you don't come out, I'll be here all the time!" Gu Shengze was determined to see Xu Anhao, he was afraid that if he didn't say something, he wouldn't have a chance.
Xu An looked at the time, it was already past midnight, but fortunately, she hadn't taken a shower and changed her clothes yet, but she didn't need to spend time changing clothes, so she hurriedly took her mobile phone downstairs.
When I came to the courtyard, I saw a car parked on the side of the road, and there was a person standing next to it, it was Chen Bin, and when he saw her come out, he immediately went to open the door in the back seat.
"Miss Xu, Mr. Gu is waiting for you in the car, he is a little drunk. Chen Bin has always been very respectful to Xu Anhao, but he was forced before, but now he really comes from the heart.
The wind was very strong in winter, and Xu Anhao shivered from the night wind, "Okay, thank you, it's hard work, it's windy at night, why don't you go in first to avoid the wind?"
Chen Bin shook his head, "Thank you Miss Xu for your kindness, no need, I'm still waiting for Mr. Gu here, he drank too much wine tonight, and he may vomit at any time." ”
Gu Shengze couldn't wait when he heard Xu Anhao's voice, and waited for her to come in, but she was concerned about Chen Bin, and immediately shouted unhappily, "Xu Anhao!"
