Rewind to that cold, rainy night a week later......
Mandala Manor. (hua. marshmallow.)
At the end of July, the faint autumn mood has arrived, especially on such a dark and rainy night, the cold wind with a damp chill invades everyone's nerves.
Xia Yanxin is afraid of the cold, she can't stand the clammy and cold air the most, and she doesn't like the heating made by the air conditioner, it's too dry...... So the retro-style fireplace in the hall has begun to burn, because it is burning fine smokeless pine, so the living room is still filled with a faint smell of pine.
Under the warm fire, Xia Yanxin held a copy of "Earl of Mount Gidu" in her hand, and while drinking flower tea, she chatted with Long Chenxi about the past and the story of their time on Sakura Island. Shen Bingqing sat quietly on the other side of the sofa, the sound of the firewood burning mixed with the rustling of rain outside, she listened with her ears sideways, but her mind was still worried about her sister who had not returned.
In fact, it was a very warm night, and the warm light of the fire gave people a sense of tranquility, and Lan Xi and other servants also stood far away, and would go to the fireplace from time to time to turn it over to make the pine wood burn more fully.
"Your daddy hasn't come back yet...... It's been three days!" Xia Yanxin couldn't stand it anymore after all, and closed the book in her hand.
Long Chenxi looked into the darkness, "Don't worry! He'll be back! You should rest assured that he's doing things! ”
"Hey, your grandmother is really, she's a lot old, and she's so obsessed with power...... Someday, your daddy will be ruined by her. ”
Long Chenxi smiled gently, "Grandmother is also sixty years old, and she can't do it for many years." I think it's all Daddy's own intention to do all these things!"
Xia Yanxin was stunned for a moment, then shook her head with a smile, "He's so old, what kind of politics is he playing!"
"I don't think there's anything wrong with Daddy going into politics, and it's good to be a vice president, secretary of state, or something. Anyway, our Long family is already in the business world, so we might as well develop in the political world, maybe there will be bigger surprises. And my grandmother has been in power for so many years, and she also has her own staff and snobbery, which is very beneficial to us......"
Seeing Long Chenxi calmly and eloquently, and speaking in all aspects, Xia Yanxin was very shocked, is this still the little boy who used to stick to himself every day? He seems to have just graduated yesterday, why did he suddenly grow into a big man?
Long Chenxi in front of him was wearing beige trousers, a casual suit with white and gray, his hair was well-groomed and handsome, and with this gentle face, he looked like a very mature and attractive young man...... Yes, he grew up, since when did he start to change?
She remembered that when he came back from graduating from the Holy Temple, he was still a little boy, and when he first came to the PAC Foundation as an intern, he was always timid and cautious. txt eBook Download/
I often encounter troubles at work, and after work, I will quietly talk to her and discuss with her...... Perhaps it was because he had a strong and domineering father that he had to be very cautious, for fear that something would go wrong and he would be severely reprimanded by his father.
I don't know since when, he stopped talking to her about work, he took care of his career smoothly, like a fish in water, he also handled his life in an orderly manner, and even began to open up new fields.
She thought about it seriously, and it seemed that since he took over as the global chief CEO of the PAC consortium, he has finally become a real man to be proud of.
Yes, she and Long Yutian are both old, and her son is rising rapidly......
"What? Think I'm not right?"
Looking at Xia Yanxin stunned for a long time, Long Chenxi smiled slightly.
"No, I just didn't find out that you were so interested in politics!"
"Hehe, I'm interested in new areas, but I used to spend most of my energy on research on the PAC consortium. Now, I've been in charge of the PAC consortium for more than a year, and I'm basically free to do it. And then I found a lot of flaws, some of the emerging areas are controlled by politicians, and we can't intervene. That's why I think this way. Money, we've earned enough. We need to work on something new. ”
Xia Yanxin finally nodded approvingly, "Hmm...... I don't limit your future. But your daddy is getting older, and I don't want him to go on any more adventures!"
"Don't worry, I'll send someone to my grandmother tomorrow...... However, I do have a Jianyì. It doesn't seem good that you've been refusing to see your grandmother for so many years, and you haven't even spoken guò. If I have the chance, I hope that our family can happily sit down and talk......"
Xia Yanxin actually didn't have a good impression of this mother-in-law who had never met before, and I heard Long Yutian say that his mother Zhu Lina betrayed her husband and married an officer. After the officer's death, she remarried a powerful politician...... For her, this mother-in-law is too strong, and she is so young to be able to give up her children, this is a woman without love and responsibility, who only pursues the right to the top. She didn't like such a woman, so she never intended to please her.
Over the years, Long Yutian would occasionally take Long Chenxi to meet Zhu Lina, and also mentioned asking Xia Yanxin to go with her, but Xia Yanxin refused, she really didn't like such an embarrassing scene, so she never went, and Zhu Lina never set foot in the mandala manor......
"Uh...... Son, let's talk about this matter later! By the way, Qingqing, how is your injury? Will you feel uncomfortable when it rains these days?" Xia Yanxin didn't want to discuss her mother-in-law's affairs with her son anymore, so she quickly changed the topic.
Shen Bingqing was wearing a set of sky-blue pajamas, and under her short hair that reached her ears, she had a slightly thin face, a light smile on her face, and she was also holding a medical book in her hand, and stopped after reading a few lines.
"It's okay, I'm fine, Aunt Xin! I'm strong! When I used to be at home, I would often go out for a morning jog or something......
"By the way, son! I heard that Qingqing fell from the upper floor, have you found out by now, who did it?"
Long Chenxi smiled a little guiltily, "I'm sorry! I haven't found it yet! The other party is too cunning! The bodyguards have been lurking in the place where they used to live these days, but the other party has never appeared again!"
"Alas, what are these things? Qingqing, be careful in the future! If you encounter any suspicious people, call us immediately......
"Got it, Aunt Xin, I will!"
As he was talking, a figure hurriedly ran in from the gate, her wet shoes made a crackling sound, and Lan Xi's figure greeted her first, "Hey, Miss Jie'er is back, and she's all wet!
Shen Bingqing stood up excitedly, put down the book and walked out, under the light, Shen Bingqing was busy collecting the umbrella in his hand, but he was drenched all over, like a falling chicken.
"Jie'er, why did you come back so late?"
"Oh, oh, I'm working overtime today...... It's a meeting again, I hate it, hey, I won't talk to you anymore, I'm going to change my clothes......"
Shen Yujie kicked off her shoes, looked at the other people in the living room, and came over to say hello with a smile, "Aunt Xin, Brother Kimi, good evening!"
"Jie'er! This job is so hard, do you want to change it and be Kimi's secretary! At least the working hours can be guaranteed!" Xia Yanxin felt a little sorry for her, after all, they were all Shen Xiaoman's children, and she didn't like these two children to be tired for work.
"Hehe, that sounds like a good idea, but I'm going to change my clothes!" Shen Yujie hurriedly returned to the room, Xia Yanxin shook her head with a smile, turned to Lan Qian and said, "Go prepare Jie'er's dinner......!"
"Okay, I'll go and prepare! Mrs. is better to Miss Jie'er than to our Miss Ling'er!" Lan Xi smiled.
Xia Yanxin turned her head to look at Long Chenxi, "You turn around and transfer Jie'er to you, how can you run outside like this?"
Long Chenxi sighed helplessly, "If only she could really listen to me!
"Yes, Aunt Xin, it's okay, just let Jie'er go out and break in! Anyway, she's still ......" Shen Bingqing also helped Long Chenxi play the round.
Almost half an hour later, Shen Yujie changed her clothes and walked out, but her hair was still wet, and she was talking on the phone while walking out, with a bag on her back and a sweet smile on her face...... When passing by the fireplace, he playfully waved his hand on the firelight, and after hanging up the phone, he turned around and walked towards Shen Bingqing.
"Sister, I'm going out for a while!"
"What? It's so late, where are you going? It's still raining outside!!" Shen Bingqing was anxious.
"Sister, you know...... He's waiting for me!" Shen Bingqing's wet black hair stuck to his little face, and his eyes were particularly big, and he was very cute.
"Silly girl!!Why don't you just let him come here?"
"No, he won't come!Sister, I promise not to spend the night outside, I'll be back when I get back!Promise me, good sister!" Shen Yujie begged.
"Alas, this dragon is fierce, how do you think he is becoming more and more unreliable. On such a cold day, why did he let you out!
Shen Yujie hugged her and shook her, "Sister, you also agree with our ...... relationship"
The living room of the mandala manor is very large, almost two hundred square meters, and at this time, the position where the two sisters are standing is still some distance away from Xia Yanxin's mother and son, Xia Yanxin couldn't hear their conversation, and saw their sisters muttering in a low voice, so she hurriedly called Lan Xi, "Go and take out the dinner!"
Lan Xi smiled, "Girl Jie'er, dinner is ready!
Only then did Shen Yujie throw away Shen Bingqing's hand, "I won't eat it!" Aunt Xin, Brother Kimi, I still have something to do first, good night!"
Staring at Shen Yujie's back, Shen Bingqing was in a daze......
"Qingqing...... Jie'er, is she in love?" Xia Yanxin had already guessed seventy or eighty.
