Chapter 18: A Delicate Atmosphere
Xu Hanfeng naturally felt Shi Xiaonian's alienation, but he didn't say anything, just walked quietly with Shi Xiaonian.
The morning tea house is still a little far from SF Primary School, and along the way, the two people are silent. Shi Xiaonian lowered his head and walked, Xu Hanfeng suddenly stopped, he leaned sideways, Shi Xiaonian wondered why he didn't go, so he looked up and stared at him in surprise.
"Why do I think you're upset?"
"Why should I be happy?" Shi Xiaonian asked rhetorically.
“…… That's right, too. Xu Hanfeng didn't expect Shi Xiaonian to answer like this, he smiled sarcastically, turned around and took two more steps, he seemed unwilling to ask again.
"Miss Shi, housekeeper...... Are you going to have a parent-teacher conference?"
"Maybe. Shi Xiaonian replied vaguely, and then shot back: "Then can I also ask, Mr. Xu has children, why do you want to harm the women of good families?"
Xu Hanfeng choked for a moment, and then stared at Shi Xiaonian in astonishment: "Who told you that I have a child?"
"If Mr. Xu doesn't have children, then what kind of parent-teacher meeting did you come to hold today, are you here to make soy sauce?"
Shi Xiaonian looked at Xu Hanfeng defiantly.
"You misunderstood me about this, it was my cousin's child. ”
Xu Hanfeng explained with a smile, with a sincere face.
"What?!"
This answer was unexpected by Shi Xiaonian.
At the same time, the director's office of SF Primary School.
The door was closed, and on top of a sofa chair, a black figure was holding a phone and whispering something......
"Okay, good, good, Mrs. Jane, I know what to do, it's just that this money ......"
The man paused, and a cold voice came out of the microphone opposite: "I will hit your card with money." ”
"It's still Madame's refreshment. The man grinned, and he put the microphone down. At the bottom right of the corner of his mouth, a black mole stands out.
……
Cantonese morning tea room.
The glass door was pushed open.
The hall is decorated with long white tables, the walls are painted in a pale sky blue, and the large golden window frames are matched to make it look high-end and pleasing to the eye.
Milky white lights, pouring down silently, illuminate the entire hall.
Shi Xiaonian looked at this high-end restaurant, and she carefully looked at everything in the room.
The beige curtains are tied with tassel buttons, the glass windows are wiped clean and dusty, and the carpet on the floor is clean without a trace of dust.
Beige floral tablecloths lay down on the long table, and plates and bowls were arranged in a staggered order. In the middle of them, there is a rattan log-colored flower basket from time to time. In the basket of flowers, there is a cotton sateen of beige flowers, and in it are silver knives and forks.
Shi Xiaonian retracted her gaze, and she looked at Xu Hanfeng. Xu Hanfeng beckoned to a certain place in the hall, and then took Shi Xiaonian's hand and walked in that direction.
Approaching and looking forward, Shi Xiaonian knew who Xu Hanfeng was beckoning to, and it turned out to be Jin Suya. For Jin Suya to appear here, Shi Xiaonian was not surprised.
She was just a little curious that Jin Suya would have a child...... It's incredible.
"Miss Shi, what a coincidence. ”
Jin Suya greeted Shi Xiaonian, Shi Xiaonian smiled, and just as they were greeting each other, a tall figure suddenly walked slowly from the corner of the inner hall of the morning tea house.
The moment Shi Xiaonian saw the figure, his back suddenly stiffened a little.
Shi Xiaonian didn't expect Jian Hao to be here, she sat stiffly in her seat, looking at Jian Hao blankly.
Jian Hao's gaze swept over Shi Xiaonian's face, and then he moved away quietly and sat down beside Shi Xiaonian.
Delicate snacks were served one after another, and in the corner near the counter, the pianist played elegant music and the violinist played a cheerful melody. The guests in the room bowed their heads and whispered to each other, and from time to time they cast their eyes in the direction of the pianist and violinist.
Shi Xiaonian pretended to look around casually.
Costume champagne.
Glimpses of light.
On such occasions, she was slightly uncomfortable.
Jian Hao was chatting with Jin Suya in a low voice, and Shi Xiaonian didn't care about the content of their conversation at all. Xu Hanfeng sat opposite her, and his eyes never took off her. Shi Xiaonian didn't like to be watched like this, so she went to the bathroom for some reason.
Shi Xiaonian stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom, she looked at herself in the mirror, her beautiful face and a famous brand, she looked so dazzling under the light. This is unfamiliar to Shi Xiaonian, and she can't even recognize the person in the mirror as herself.
She turned on the faucet and wanted to wash her face with water in her hand as usual, but she paused after receiving the water, she smiled bitterly, spread her fingers, and let the water in her hand slowly swim down.
"Miss Shi, are you alright?"
At some point, Kim So-ah walked in from the entrance. She looked at Shi Xiaonian in surprise. Shi Xiaonian hurriedly raised her head, she looked at Jin Suya, and there was a hint of panic in her eyes.
"I'm fine, Miss Kim, thank you for your concern. ”
"Thank you, I don't have to, after all, you're my cousin's girlfriend, so you don't have to be so restrained. ”
Jin Suya's smile became more and more dazzling under the light, and Shi Xiaonian seemed to see in a trance that under Jin Suya's gentle smile, there was a faint hint of mockery.
She turned around to leave, but heard Jin Suya say slowly: "Miss Shi, kindly remind you, sometimes, as a man, you still can't be too greedy, stepping on two boats, in the end, the boat will only be destroyed and people will die." ”
Shi Xiaonian was not stupid, of course she could understand the meaning of Jin Suya's words. She felt a surge of anger in her chest, but even so, what could she argue with?
She has nothing, in terms of appearance, family background, and background, she is not worthy of Jin Suya's shoes.
The reality is so cruel, Shi Xiaonian is very clear about his position.
She stubbornly raised her standard professional smile, but she couldn't help but redden.
There was a sour feeling that easily attacked her soul. The corners of her eyes, her nose, and her heart seemed to be pulling her whole body, and Shi Xiaonian felt aggrieved and sad.
She didn't want to fight with Jin Suya for anything, she also knew that she and Jian Hao were people from two worlds at all. I don't know why, whenever she bumps into Jian Hao making an intimate move towards Jin Suya, there is a slight throbbing pain in her heart.
Obviously she was so sad in her heart, obviously tears were already rolling in her eyes, but she still had to pretend to be casual and return to the table, with a faint, stiff smile, at Jian Hao and Xu Hanfeng.
She didn't like it, but she couldn't help herself.
No one noticed her abnormality, as if none of this had happened, and the surroundings were still staggered, and the sound of the piano and violin were mixed together, drowning out the sad breath on Shi Xiaonian's body.
