"No thanks. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info I'll leave in a while. Zhao Qingru squinted and smiled, "Pete, I forgot to tell you yesterday that Wen Yan seems to be three months pregnant." ”
"Scared?pregnant?!"
"What? that slut is pregnant?!" Pete said at about the same time as a foreign girl.
"Okay, I've said everything I'm going to say, and the things have been delivered, so I'll go first. After Zhao Qingru threw a heavy bomb, he got up and walked towards the door of the study.
"Wait, wait, Pandora, what you said is true?!" Pete, who came back to his senses, hurriedly stepped forward to block Zhao Qingru's way. As for the eldest lady beside her, she couldn't reach it for a while.
"Pandora, Yan'er, she ...... now" Pete is now a belly of words and wants to say to Zhao Qingru, and even wants to appear by Zhou Wenyan's side immediately, asking "Why", but the words came to his lips, and he who thought he could speak well suddenly became clumsy, "Yan'er, where is she now?!I, I want to see her!"
"Pete, what about seeing you now? Your mother, the Countess, doesn't like Wen Yan. Otherwise, this foreign girl would not have appeared in your and Wen Yan's little home all the way. There's no way I'll let you meet Wen Yan before you have thoroughly figured out how to solve these problems. After all, Wen Yan can't stand the slightest stimulation and accident now. Zhao Qingru turned sideways and looked at a foreign girl who was focusing on the file bag on the desk.
"I see. Pete walked straight to the desk, reached out and picked up the file bag on the desk, opened it without hesitation, pulled out the documents inside, and after reading them at the speed of light, he cleanly tore the documents and the file bag into pieces.
"Anna, I'm sorry, I only love Yan'er alone in my life, so I will never divorce Yan'er and marry you. It doesn't matter if there are so-called children or not!"
"So...... He is flying back now?" Zhou Wenyan, who was leaning on the sofa, after listening to what Zhao Qingru said, stroked his lower abdomen and asked softly.
"Hmm. Plane at noon. Zhao Qingru put a plate of washed cherries in front of Zhou Wenyan, "You girl, you have also learned to summon people, huh?"
"Sister Qingru, I know you're the best. Faced with such accusations from her sister-in-law, Zhou Wenyan hurriedly hugged Zhao Qingru's arm, leaned her head on her body, and said coquettishly.
Zhou Wenyan naturally didn't want to divorce her Pete, what are you kidding, she finally found a prince charming she likes, and the most important prince also loves herself, so she let it go, this head is either caught by the door, or kicked by a donkey. What's more, now that she has children, is it true that her children have no father before they are born?
As for the countess or something, naturally the son had to deal with it. Even if the relatives on Pete's side, led by the Countess, are unwilling to admit Zhou Wenyan, it is an indisputable fact that Zhou Wenyan has already pulled a marriage certificate with Pete in Huaxia. The most important thing is that Pete is in a hurry to handle this certificate.
Therefore, there are some false accusations, Zhou Wenyan can ignore them once or twice, and if there are many times, he still doesn't want to be detained. What's more, these slanderers are still those self-righteous foreign devils!
In this regard, Zhao Qingru was also quite helpless, but who made her so protective. Of course, there is also consideration for herself, after all, her mother-in-law, although she is not afraid, does not want to make too much trouble.
It's just that Zhao Qingru never dreamed that because Zhou Wenyan and Pete were a little couple, they could still affect other things. During the critical period of bidding for the Olympic Games, Zhao Qingru received a phone call. The countess, who was supposed to be in Great Britain, came to Yanjing with great interest.
Of course, this countess also came to Yanjing in the form of official business under a very gorgeous name. It's not that the Countess has some rights to bid for the Olympics, but the Countess, who still has some rights, naturally has to come over to see how the city bidding for the Olympics is.
In Yanjing in 91 years, there were not as many cars as there were after the new millennium, the problem roads were not so wide, and there were not many elevated subways or anything. The traffic is not congested, but the most common thing to get on right away is the bicycle. The air is really good, there is no haze and sandstorms, but there are not many days with blue skies and white clouds.
As for the necessary hardware facilities for the Olympic Games, it is more just a blueprint plan......
In fact, none of this is important, the important thing is that the countess is picking bones in the eggs and deliberately came to find fault. Even if it's okay, you can find something wrong. What's more, it's really just a framework.
On this day, the countess found someone to bring a message to Zhao Qingru.
Zhao Qingru hesitated for a long time, but in the end, he still agreed on the same page, and he was indeed a little curious about what kind of medicine was sold in the Countess's gourd.
But don't be what she guessed......
Xu is a matter of habit, although Zhao Qingru agreed to meet the countess, he did not let the other party choose a place, but directly chose Gu Xiaowu's territory, in a certain tea club. Zhao Qingru has also lived in Yanjing for more than ten years, even if she doesn't walk around in this city on weekdays, she is more familiar than the countess who has just arrived in Yanjing.
The most important point is that in a relatively familiar place, it is more reassuring.
When the countess arrived, Zhao Qingru had actually just arrived in the private room to "listen to Zhuxuan" not long ago. Punctuality is a characteristic of the old-fashioned countess.
Zhao Qingru had actually met the countess before this. A few years ago, when the prince married his beloved princess, at her Angle's wedding banquet, she saw each other from afar and did not talk.
After that, that is, two days ago, the countess came to Yanjing in the name of official business, and Zhao Qingru, as a member of the "Olympic Bid Office", followed the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and could be regarded as the staff in charge of reception.
Both times it was a long distance and a quick meeting. At this moment, the first impression really made Zhao Qingru, who had seen a lot of scenes, instinctively a little worried.
is like facing the old-fashioned director of discipline when he was a child, for fear that she will catch a little mistake, and then he will be criticized and beaten. I just don't know if her sister-in-law, when Zhou Wenyan first faced her mother-in-law, the etiquette of the previous special training was used.
Zhao Qingru got up while walking, walked slowly to the countess, and then gave a standard Western-style kiss salute.
"Good day, Countess. Zhao Qingru's English pronunciation is standard British English, which inadvertently adds a lot of impression points.
"Hello, Pandora. ”
Because it was almost noon, after sitting down, I chatted politely for a long time, and then began to order. Zhao Qingru couldn't figure out what the countess wanted to eat for a while. To be honest, the food in Great Britain is relatively bad in the whole Western cuisine, and there is really no way to compete with Chinese food.
"I wonder if the Countess can compare her favorite food?"
"Don't you have a saying in Huaxia that says, 'The guest is as the host goes'. Pandora, you decide. ”
"Does the Countess have any food that she taboos or doesn't like?"
"No, Pandora, you can arrange whatever you want. ”
Zhao Qingru thought about it, and then asked the waiter on the side if there was fresh seafood in the hall. In the end, Zhao Qingru ordered a Beijing-style roast duck, braised sea cucumber with green onions, Yunying beef, Jinling grass, grilled pine mushrooms, Yunsi tofu soup, whitebait scrambled eggs and salt-and-pepper shrimp balls......
Considering that there are only two people, Zhao Qingru and the countess, the amount of dessert is small, basically one bite at a time. But even so, after the various dishes were placed on the table, the countess was slightly surprised.
"Ma'am, I don't know what you like to eat. These are just ordinary desserts, you can try something to suit your taste. ”
In fact, Zhao Qingru still really wants to order a "Stargazy pie", which is the legendary British dark cuisine "looking up at the starry sky", also known as "death without blinding".
In Zhao Qingru's opinion, it is a similar pizza, with some upright small fish (head) added on it. As for the taste...... It's called a dark dish, and it's famous, so it's a lot of ecstasy.
Although the Countess had heard of the breadth and profundity of Chinese cuisine for a long time, she had invited Chinese cooks to cook so-called Chinese cuisine when she was at home. Now I saw the dishes on the table full of colors and aromas, and at the same time, I was a little surprised and a little dissatisfied.
Hmph, I can't see that the little girl in front of me is showing off without a trace, is this ridiculing me that I can't see people in British cuisine?
The Countess did not show this displeasure on her face, and in fact her poker face was happy or angry, but there was really not much difference in it.
After three rounds of dinner, the countess finally turned the topic to her appointment with Zhao Qingru.
"Pandora, aren't you curious, why do I want to meet you?"
Ah, it's finally here.
Zhao Qingru swallowed the salt-and-pepper shrimp balls in his mouth, sucked a sip of barley tea on the side, and wiped the corners of his mouth, before he said slowly: "I can vaguely guess a few points, but I can't be sure yet." ”
"Oh, then let's hear it. The Countess didn't know what she was thinking, and the little girl in front of her wouldn't have guessed.
"Before I met the countess, I could roughly guess that you were here for your son Pete and my sister-in-law Wenyan, and now ......"
"How now?"
"At least seven or eight points certain, and...... Madame also wants to make a fuss about ...... 'Yanjing's bid for the Olympic Games'. Zhao Qingru hesitated for a moment, but still said his guess, and after finishing speaking, he added an extra sentence, "I have been to Great Britain many times before. In casual conversation with Angle, she told me more than once about the Countess. Angle said that although the countess may seem a little old-fashioned, she is actually the most disciplined and follow the rules of the game. So I want to come...... They will not do such a despicable thing as 'separating public and private' or even 'blackmailing others'. ”
When Zhao Qingru said this, she kept looking at the countess who was sitting at the table opposite her. In fact, she really guessed the countess's mind.
The Countess really plans to do something about Yanjing's bid for the Olympics. Of course, at first, the Countess did not intend to do so. The main thing has to start from the beginning, after Pete learned from Zhao Qingru that his beloved Zhou Wenyan was pregnant, he flew back to Great Britain directly on a plane that afternoon.
Pete naturally came home to show his determination. In front of many elders and brothers, Pete insisted on being with Zhou Wenyan, and even gave up his inheritance rights for this. This made the countess, who was very happy to see her youngest son come home, her blood pressure soared by several percentage points at once, and she was almost fainted directly.
Unfortunately, the countess was strong and could not faint for the time being, and after finally calming down, she asked the housekeeper to find out all the relatives and friends related to her daughter-in-law, who had already cooked raw rice. Naturally, there is nothing to study about the information of the Zhou family, and there is no need to even investigate it, basically Pete has almost introduced it clearly before this.
Even if Zhou Wentao's brother and sister both graduated from college, this point actually made the countess a little satisfied, but it still couldn't change the fact that the Zhou family was an ordinary person, and even the family was still poor at the bottom. However, after Zhou Wentao married his daughter-in-law, his worth changed slightly, and he was more or less the godson adopted by Sir Zhou of Xiangjiang.
The most important thing is that this daughter-in-law is still a bit of a talent. The granddaughters of the only remaining founding generals in China, Zhao Lao's commander's family, can barely handle it.
After knowing that she didn't want to see her, she forcibly stuffed her daughter-in-law and such a sister-in-law, especially after knowing that Yanjing was preparing to apply for the Olympic Games in the new millennium, the countess even thought that she shouldn't be.
In the words of others, this is all forced by the youngest son who has a tendon in his own family and is in the wrong position.
But this kind of thing is a bit off the table. The countess hesitated before she arrived in Yanjing. When they arrived in Yanjing, after a few days of brief contact, they didn't know much about the mysterious and backward oriental country in the eyes of the countess, especially after seeing the efforts made by the top and bottom to prepare for the Olympics, they were a little moved.
It's just that...... As it stands, it seems that it still does not have the strength to host the Olympics.
"If that's the case, what should you do, little girl?"
"Madame wants to hear the truth?"
"Of course. ”
"Of course, I hope that my country will succeed in its bid for the Olympics, but according to the current situation, it may be a little bit short of developed countries. But I still believe that we can do our best. If...... I mean, if we fail in this Olympic bid, we will learn a lesson, sum up our experience, and come back next time! Because I firmly believe that we will definitely be able to hold the best session ever!"
The countess turned her head sideways to look at Zhao Qingru in front of her, and the sunlight outside the window shone through the glass. Under the sun, the little girl's big eyes, which were originally black and white, flashed with vivid light.
The best ever?
