CHAPTER XXXV

After taking the thread-bound book, Lu Shengnan looked at it and became excited: "It turned out to be the "Stone Record" annotated by Yan Zhai?"

Grandma laughed: "I know you will like it, the old man has collected more than a dozen editions of "The Story of the Stone" and "Dream of Red Mansions", and my favorite is this set; ”

"Grandma, it's too precious, I can't take it. Lu Shengnan knew the value of this set of books, so he hurriedly excused himself.

"Give it to you and take it, the old man is gone, few people like this kind of book now, and the old man will be very happy to give it to someone who can understand it; come, look at this, this is your grandfather who ordered it to me when my grandmother was young, and now my grandmother is old, I don't need it, so I will give it to you." ”

The old man opened the dark blue velvet box, and a set of retro-designed gold bead jewelry came into view, a necklace, a pair of earrings, a ring, and a bracelet, each gold bead was the size of a small thumb, inlaid with platinum and fine diamonds; Lu Shengnan hurriedly pushed it in front of the old man: "Grandma, this is given to you by your grandfather, carrying your grandfather's deep affection for you, I can't accept it." ”

The old man insisted on giving it to her, saying that this set of gold bead jewelry was very picky about skin color, and he was old, and he didn't look good when he wore it, but Shengnan's fair skin would definitely look good when he wore it; Lu Shengnan resolutely refused, and finally couldn't resist the old man's kindness and only accepted the set of thread-bound books.

When the old man put away the set of jewelry and just sat down, Li Ruhan and Ye Yun also went upstairs, and a few people sat in the flower hall and chatted a few more words, and the grandmother was a little tired and said that she wanted to sleep for a while and let them go out to play, without accompanying herself.

Ye Yun immediately asked them to go to their own house to play, took Li Ruhan's arm and said that his parents also miss him, he went to pay New Year's greetings to the second elder, and he could also look at some articles and drawings that he had sorted out abroad, and give himself some suggestions; Li Ruhan looked at Lu Shengnan and said Let's go together, let the uncle and aunt also meet their girlfriends, Lu Shengnan didn't speak Ye Yun screamed happily, and was busy urging them to pack up their things.

"Ruhan, you and Miss Ye go, it's rare for me to come to the capital once, and it's the Spring Festival holiday, so I should go to my teacher to pay a New Year's greeting. Lu Shengnan didn't want to show his reluctance in front of Ye Yun, so he politely excused himself.

"Since Sister Shengnan still has something to do, go and get busy, Brother Ruhan, you promised me. ”

Li Ruhan asked her with thick eyebrows: "Shengnan, why don't we come out of Uncle Ye's house and I will accompany you to the teacher's house, okay?"

Of course Lu Shengnan didn't want to go to Ye Yun's house, she didn't know what Li Ruhan thought, maybe he broke up with Ye Yun's sister back then and didn't affect the relationship between their two families, so he could go to Ye Yun's house as usual, but he couldn't think of taking himself to her house and not talking about Ye Yun's rejection, that is, how Ye Yun's family would treat him, after all, Li Ruhan was almost their son-in-law, and now Ye Yun's love is so clear, what mood should they use to receive their current girlfriend.

The most important thing is that Lu Shengnan himself doesn't want to go at all, she is only Li Ruhan's girlfriend now, and she is not engaged, and she has mustered up the courage to come to visit his grandmother to meet his family friends or something, she thinks that it is not necessary at all now, she is not willing to perform with a false face.

Li Ruhan was a little displeased, obviously he hadn't heard her talk about the trip to the teacher's New Year's greetings, and now she must have some reason for insisting like this, but he didn't know what the reason was, and he thought that he wanted to lead her to pass her away and hand her over to his family as soon as possible;

Coming out of the old-fashioned villa area, Lu Shengnan called a taxi and asked the master to drive to a nearby coffee shop, went in, ordered a cup of coffee, took out his mobile phone, dialed Zhao Mohan's phone, asked him if there was nothing to do, and invited him to come over for coffee and chat, Zhao Mohan teased on the other end of the phone how she was willing to part with her eldest brother, how did she remember to call herself, Lu Shengnan ignored his laughter, and only said to let him come over quickly.

Lu Shengnan always felt that everyone had their own secrets, so she never asked Li Ruhan about her past, but today she wanted to know, the opponents had appeared, she couldn't passively back down, she always had to know something to deal with.

Zhao Mohan arrived quickly, did not go upstairs, called her downstairs, said that he would take her to a place with few people, so as to save the trouble of being recognized by others; Lu Shengnan went downstairs with his bag, and was teased by him a few words when he got in the car, because she didn't talk much about something in her heart, Zhao Mohan finally realized that something was wrong, drove quietly, and peeked at her from the rearview mirror from time to time.

The car drove into a very high-end garden villa area on the outskirts of the city and stopped in front of a single-family villa behind, Zhao Mohan found the remote control and pressed it, and after the garage door was opened, he drove in directly after the garage door was closed before getting out of the car, Lu Shengnan also followed, and said while leading her upstairs: "Shengnan, this is my eldest brother's house, he rarely comes over, I took the key with him to live for a while; ”

As he spoke, he arrived at the living room on the ground floor, the beige gauze curtain covered the window, the afternoon sun was lazily projected in, coupled with the light-colored American decoration style in the room, so that Lu Shengnan relaxed for no reason, sat on the light gray-blue sofa and watched Zhao Mohan busy receiving water and making coffee.

"Well, do you still like this house? I guess you'll live here when you and my eldest brother get married. Zhao Mohan came over with coffee and put it in front of her to tease her.

"It seems too early to say this, and besides, I'm used to life in H City, and this house shouldn't have much to do with me. ”

"Did something happen to you and my big brother?"

"Ye Wan, do you know each other?"

Zhao Mohan, who was lying on the opposite side, sat up straight all of a sudden, frowned and asked her, "Have you seen her?"

"I only saw Ye Wan at my grandmother's house. ”

"Was the eldest brother pulled away by her?"

"Otherwise, how could I have come out to find you myself?"

Zhao Mohan looked at Lu Shengnan, who had an indifferent face, and asked her, "My eldest brother is still so indulgent to that stinky girl?"

"I don't know how they used to get along, but that's what I see today. ”

"You see that stinky girl's mind?"

Lu Shengnan put down the coffee cup and smiled: "What do you say?"
