Compared with those who are submissive in front of him, and even deliberately pretend to be stupid and innocent and weak, in an attempt to arouse his desire to protect, such a woman is what he likes and appreciates, and the desire to protect is ...... He can give to a small animal, but he will never give it to a woman with ulterior motives.

The table of Western food will never be as lively as Chinese food, and the atmosphere is just right for two people. The first cold dish of foie gras appetizing, the second dish is seafood soup, and the third course is charcoal-grilled duck.

Tang Jiahong saw the waiter coming from afar, still holding a delicate white porcelain plate in her hand, she already felt a red alert in her stomach capacity, and she had a feeling that after eating this, she would not have to eat for three days.

The waiter put down the dish, it was some kind of sea fish, Tang Jiahong couldn't help but ask, "How much did you order?"

Lin Shuyan put down the knife and fork in his hand and looked at her with a smile: "It's not much, so I ordered one." ”

"One copy?" Tang Jiahong repeated, feeling that it was necessary to determine what this copy meant.

"A French dinner. ”

Tang Jiahong gasped, a set of French dinner, from the first cold dish to the last coffee, there are several kinds of wine and several desserts in the middle.

"Next time, if you want to invite me to a French meal, please tell me three days in advance," Tang Jiahong used the fork in his hand to flick the fish that he couldn't eat at all, "I'm going to open the valley for three days first, and then come back." ”

Looking at Tang Jiahong's distressed appearance, Lin Shuyan couldn't help laughing: "You are not a bandit on Weiwu Mountain, you have to be hungry for three days in advance to eat a hundred chicken feast." ”

"You still say!" Tang Jiahong's tutor since childhood is that wasting food is shameful, she slowly took a bite of the fish, the taste is indeed very good, but it is really about to reach the critical point, after a person is full, no matter what delicious food he eats, he can't taste good, in a sense, it is also a waste.

Then, Tang Jiahong heard footsteps again, and the waiter appeared again, she turned her head with a bitter face, only to find that the waiter was not holding a dish, but a slender wine bottle, and two tulip-shaped wine glasses on the tray.

The waiter placed the cups in front of Tang Jiahong and Lin Shuyan respectively, and poured the wine into the glasses elegantly and skillfully. Then he stepped back silently.

Tang Jiahong picked up the wine glass, and there was a sweet aroma wafting from the mouth of the glass, without the smell of alcohol that she was very disgusted with, she took a small sip, and the mouth was as sweet as honey.

She looked at the glass of wine in confusion: "Did you add honey to it?"

"Harry Potter" mentioned butterbeer, so this kind of ice wine is actually honey wine?

In the spirit of asking if she didn't understand, she looked at Lin Shuyan opposite: "Why is ice wine so sweet." ”

"Because it's made with ice grapes. ”

Tang Jiahong looked at Lin Shuyan, looking at his serious expression, not like he was deliberately teasing her, Tang Jiahong had a bunch of transparent grapes in his mind, hanging on the vine and shaking in the wind, it was quite beautiful to think about.

Probably seeing her confused look, Lin Shuyan added: "Don't think too much, it's ice grapes, frozen grapes, the earliest ice wine is because the farmers who grow grapes encountered an ice disaster, and the grapes on the branches that have not had time to be picked are frozen on the branches and shaken at minus ten degrees for several days, so that only extremely concentrated grape juice is left in the grapes, so it is so sweet." ”

“……”

It turned out that it was worthless at all, and the transparent grapes in Tang Jiahong's mind that were crystal clear and reflected colorful light in the sun were smashed to pieces.

It's been a long time, Tang Jiahong hasn't experienced such a pleasant meal for a long time, and Lin Shuyan can continue to talk about the topics she talked about during the banquet, and what Lin Shuyan said is also something she is interested in continuing to listen to. This kind of heart-to-heart exchange can only be experienced when eating with blessings in the past, she thought that she was probably a lala, and she would spurn those men who are full of "women should stay at home with peace of mind" and "women should not be better than men".

Now I finally determined that I am still a straight woman with a very normal orientation, and I just hate those men because of the topic, not because of gender.

The sweetness of ice wine has not been in the mouth for a long time, although Tang Xihong has a good amount of alcohol on weekdays, but she never likes to drink, for work, she has to drink when she goes out to socialize, and when she gathers in the company, she never touches a drop, which makes many colleagues puzzled and asks her why she can't drink it. She explained that drinking alcohol is like drinking Chinese medicine for her, and when she has to drink it, she can endure it and go down, and in order to negotiate business, she has to drink the medicine that should be drunk, since she is her own person, so why do you have to pinch your nose and pour it down.

Tang Jiahong never thought that there would be a kind of wine in the world that could make her take the initiative to drink a second glass, and she was a little embarrassed after a few glasses in a row: "I, usually not like this, I don't drink a drop except for work." ”

Lin Shuyan just looked at her with a smile, and didn't make any special reaction to her explanation, Tang Jiahong seemed to feel that such an explanation was too pale, and she forcibly added: "Really, if you don't believe it, you can ask my former colleagues." After saying that, even I felt quite ridiculous, and I couldn't help it.

No, it's too embarrassing, I have to find something else, Tang Jiahong looked at Lin Shuyan: "The matter of Luguan Group, it's over here?"

"You don't know enough about your ex-mother-in-law. Lin Shuyan shook his head meaningfully.

Tang Jiahong was puzzled: "Director Chen personally came forward, and you also promised to reconcile, what else can't be done?"

Lin Shuyan slowly took a sip of the ice wine in his hand, and put the cup between the two: "This is the Luguan Group." ”

Then he picked up the cup in front of Tang Jiahong, put it down, the two cups touched together, Tang Jiahong had more wine in the cup, Lin Shuyan said: "This is Ruicheng Group, now it seems that we have a great advantage, but ......"

Lin Shuyan took the wine bottle on the side again, poured his cup full of eight points, and the water line exceeded Tang Jiahong's wine glass: "Now, the situation is different." ”

"Are you saying that there is still a force behind them that will support them?" Tang Jiahong has already understood the Ruicheng Group and the Lin Group behind it since he took over the work, and knows that ordinary forces cannot easily shake them, "Can they still move to the Morgan consortium or the Rockefeller consortium? It can't be to invite those local tyrants from the oil-producing countries in the Middle East, right?"

"If only that were the case. Lin Shuyan shook his head, "The Lin family has such a big business, if outsiders want to shake it, even if it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, as long as the Lin family's brand has not fallen, it can immediately stand up from the ruins, but the cracks generated inside will collapse the entire group." ”

Of course, Tang Jiahong understands the truth, but the Lin family's external image has always been very positive, will it also engage in house fights like a certain gambling king?

"It can't be that Old Man Lin married the wife of the fourth room, and the four rooms are fighting for the family property, right? But if they really finish playing with the family, then they won't be able to get anything, so why bother to turn their elbows out?"

The corners of Lin Shuyan's mouth hooked up a sneer: "There are always some people who think that they are very smart and can control the overall situation with one hand, and there have never been many such people in history, the Tang Dynasty who borrowed the soldiers to relieve the Anshi Rebellion, Lian Liao to resist Jin, and Lian Jin to resist the Yuan, as well as the fools who borrowed Qing soldiers to destroy Li Zicheng, all of them thought that they were talented and could put the wolves introduced from outside on their heads and let them be at their mercy." ”

It seems that there are grievances and hatreds that cannot be shaken off anywhere, Tang Jiahong looked at Lin Shuyan and smiled without saying a word.

Lin Shuyan elegantly wiped the corners of his mouth: "Don't worry, your family background is very ordinary, and they won't treat you as an imaginary enemy." I'll take care of all the troubles, and when it's all over, you can go back to your normal life. ”

Back to normal life?

Tang Jiahong picked up the wine glass in front of him, looked at the pale golden liquor, and as it shook, strings of tiny bubbles appeared, slowly rising to the surface from the bottom of the glass.

A barely visible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and Tang Jiahong drank all the champagne in the glass.

When I returned to the Lin family's mansion, I heard a news, the cousin Yaohui, who changed his girlfriend faster than changing clothes, thought that he would be at least forty years old, but he didn't expect to get married quickly, and it is said that he was married to Fengzi, the girl in the photo, although the dress she wore was loose, but her belly was already clearly prominent, and her appearance looked very gentle, which was not the same temperament as Yaohui's glamorous and flamboyant girlfriends in the past.

"I heard your fifth uncle say, I've already checked it, it's a boy. When Old Madam Lin said this, her tone tried to remain calm and calm, but her eyes kept aiming at Tang Jiahong's stomach, and the corners of her mouth drooped uncontrollably, which was an expression of loss.

Looking at Mrs. Lin's expression, Tang Jiahong was also a little unbearable, she secretly glanced at Lin Shuyan, who didn't look at her, just took her hand and squeezed it comfortingly, he said: "Don't worry, what should come will always come, if it doesn't belong to him, even if you rush in advance, you will be disqualified." ”

Old Madam Lin sighed: "I know, I just want to remind you, Shuyan, you are already thirty-three years old, and when I was your age, you were already ten years old." ”

Lin Shuyan smiled: "Yes, I have been sabotaging in the school for three days, so that you have to go to the school from time to time to apologize and lose money, and you also promised to sponsor a lot of things in the school, and I don't know how many unequal treaties I signed to keep my school status." ”

"It's good if you know!" Thinking of Lin Shuyan's rebellious period, whether he was in his mother's house or in his mother-in-law's house, or in the shopping mall, among celebrities, he has never felt frustrated, but this son has made her worry for ten years, starting from the age of seven or eight when dogs are disgusted, others are almost thirteen or fourteen years old, and he actually dragged it to the age when he was about to go to college.

"At that time, I was already looking for a university that only collected money and didn't look at grades, which one could say that it was not a shame, and I also thought about whether I wanted to donate an entire new campus to Stanford and beg them to accept you. Thinking of that unbearable past, Mrs. Lin sighed. “”

"Didn't you get in, Mom, don't talk about it. Lin Shuyan was unexpectedly a little impatient, but Tang Jiahong was very interested, the seemingly perfect man in front of him thought that he was really an angel and could easily do anything, but he didn't expect that there would be such a time.

She asked with interest, "Then how did he go to school?"

If I remember correctly, Lin Shuyan still graduated from Harvard, and they all said that American universities are wide in and strict out, but they will not collect any garbage and goods in the school.

Mrs. Lin was also happy to share Lin Shuyan's past with her, ignoring Lin Shuyan's eyes at all, and continued to chat with Tang Jiahong: "The SAT in the United States, that is, the college entrance examination in the United States, is a little different from China, China can only take the test once a year, and the United States can take the test five times a year, and when admitted, it is not only to look at the scores, but also to look at the participation and results of some community activities and school activities. ”

Tang Jiahong suddenly felt that he had been reading books seriously for more than ten years, and he was crushed in front of Lin Shuyan and was embarrassed, this kind of plot of "Hot Girls at the Bottom" really happened to the man in front of him?

"Alas, hard work in the face of talent is really not worth mentioning. "She was very lost.

Lin Shuyan didn't comfort her, but just said lightly: "You won't want to open this talent." ”

She waited for Lin Shuyan to continue, but Lin Shuyan didn't speak again, but Mrs. Lin picked up the conversation again: "What's the use of having talent and not working hard, although the talent is not good, but if you are willing to work hard, the ending must be much better than that of a person who is talented and does not work hard." ”

Being comforted by Mrs. Lin like this, Tang Jiahong laughed a little embarrassed, feeling like a child who was having a temper with an adult, and then, Mrs. Lin's words made her calm down: "One of you is talented, the other is hard-working, what good genes, if you give birth to a child, you must work hard and be smart!"

cough, it turned out to be a fancy birth, Tang Jiahong pinched Lin Shuyan with his backhand, Lin Shuyan pretended to be confused: "Mom is telling you, why are you pinching me?"

was exposed by him so mercilessly, Tang Jiahong's face turned even redder: "I hate it, what are you talking about!"

Mrs. Lin looked at the affectionate appearance of the young couple, and her heart was still relatively comforted, as long as the relationship was good, didn't the child still want it?

Lin Shuyan was hit at the beginning, he didn't mention it in front of himself as a mother, but he was as careful as her, he still noticed his son's abnormality, and also sent someone to investigate what happened, in the first two or three years, Lin Shuyan was still in college, and many girls of different nationalities showed love to him, he ignored it, she felt that it would take time to get out of that shadow, and she didn't pay special attention to anything, but when Lin Shuyan graduated and returned to China, he was just dedicated to work.
