Twenty-four and five-four. housekeeping
Wanlan stopped talking, she was now a victim, and there was someone who could not be controlled by Mrs. Chen to help her out, of course she was happy to hide behind, be silent or cry, and play a pitiful weakling.
Chen Qi didn't dare to contradict Mrs. Chen, so he just kept his head and got angry, but Chen Ji kept a calm face, and only after Mrs. Chen finished speaking, did he say, "Mom, Jacqueline is going back to the United States." ”
Mrs. Chen was taken aback: "It's only been a few days, why do you suddenly want to go back? Do you think we didn't entertain well? I said at the beginning that it would be better to let Oman call the shots." ”
"Okay, Mom," Chen Ji said, "Ask Su Man to accompany you back to dinner, and Yuan Chu and I will buy Jacqueline a ticket back to China." ”
"Don't go, don't go," said Mrs. Chen, and went to Rajqueline's hand, "Take it for two more days, and ask Yuan Chu to take you around, and it's not too late to go back when you've had enough." ”
Jacqueline didn't know what Mrs. Chen was talking about, she shook off Mrs. Chen's outstretched hand and screamed, "Take your hand away!"
Chen Qiyi stopped Mrs. Chen: "Mom...... She has important business at home, and she can't wait, so she must go back immediately. ”
Mrs. Chen was taken aback by Jacqueline's movements, took two steps back, and hurriedly reassured her, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm not trying to hurt you." ”
Wanlan watched this scene with cold eyes, she seemed to have suddenly become a bystander outside the stage, everything on the stage, all kinds of people, etc. had nothing to do with her, and there was a sound of metal colliding in the sky, mixed into the noisy voice, which made her feel a pain in her brain and wanted to leave immediately.
Lixia came down from the upstairs lightly, walked to her side carefully, and said in her ear, "Madam, the second master is calling." ”
Wanlan's spirit shook suddenly, only to find that the metal collision sound was not an illusion, but a phone ringing, she whispered behind Chen Ji, "I'll go up to answer the phone", turned around and went upstairs.
Sure enough, it was Xie Huaichang calling, and his voice was quite pleasant: "Sister, what are you doing?"
Wanlan replied tiredly: "Quarrel." ”
She paused for a moment, and then corrected: "Watching people quarrel?"
Xie Huaichang's excited tone fell: "What's the matter?"
"Parents are short, in front of the house and behind the house, you are not interested in knowing. Wanlan said, "Why did you call suddenly, what's wrong?"
Xie Huaichang's voice floated again: "You must not have thought of who I just met." ”
Wanlan didn't have the heart to guess, but Xie Huaichang didn't have any intention of asking her to guess, so he took the initiative to say without waiting for her to ask: "It's Mr. Sun, I had dinner with Mr. Sun Wen just now." ”
Wanlan was surprised: "Sun Wen is in Shanghai?"
Xie Huaichang said: "He is going to Beijing to discuss the state of the country with Duan Zhiquan and them...... Sister, Mr. Sun is running a military academy in the south, and he wrote a letter of recommendation to me, asking me to go to the south to find a person named Jiang Zhongzheng and ask him to arrange for me to go to the military academy as a substitute teacher. ”
Wanlan hesitated a little, because she knew that Cao Kun had just been defeated by Duan Qirui, and Wu Peifu, who followed him, and Duan Qirui and Feng Yuxiang, who invited Sun Wen to the north, did not deal with each other.
"Are you going south?" Wanlan asked, "What about Yunru? Isn't she in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?"
"She went south with me," Xie Huaichang said, "and she was impressed by Mr. Sun's demeanor." ”
Wanlan held the earpiece and hesitated for a moment, then lowered her voice and said, "Then what about your sister-in-law?"
Xie Huaichang was silent: "I called you just to talk about this matter, Sister, is it inconvenient for you to come over now? It's better for you to come by yourself, this matter has nothing to do with Brother Yuji, I don't want to involve him." ”
Wanlan couldn't ask for it, she didn't want to stay in this house for a minute, and immediately said, "I'll go over immediately." ”
She walked downstairs again, downstairs was still arguing, Jacqueline had already shown an obviously unhappy expression, Chen Ji and Chen Qi's expressions were very embarrassed, she didn't know what she had posted, and she was not interested in knowing, so she only said to Chen Ji: "I'm going out, Mr. Sun Wensun is in Shanghai." ”
Chen Ji grabbed her and looked very surprised: "Could it be that Sun Wen wants to see you?"
"He met with Ning Yin, Ning Yin called and told me to see him now," Wanlan deliberately did not explain who the "he" she wanted to see was, but said, "You stay at home, I will ask the driver to take me there." ”
Jacqueline found out that she was going out and hurriedly followed: "Please, take me with you, you just have to send me to the place where you bought the ferry ticket." ”
Wanlan glanced at Chen Qi and replied to her gently, "Where's your luggage?"
"I don't want it," Jacqueline said, "I just want to get out of here." ”
Chen Qi called Jacqueline's name, his tone was quite annoyed, he should have felt that his face could not be hung up.
Wanlan stopped him with her eyes, and then held Jacqueline's hand: "You calm down, come with me first, okay? I'll take you to a place, you stay there for the night, I'll ask the girl to pack up your salute tomorrow, and then take you to buy a ferry ticket." ”
Jacqueline thought for a moment and nodded aggrievedly: "Can you guarantee it?"
"I promise," Wan Lan patted the back of her hand and said to Chen Qi in Chinese, "I took her away first and arranged her on George's side." ”
Chen Qi was displeased: "Sister-in-law, why should she be like this, she can stay here." ”
"Yuan Chu," Wan Lan sighed softly, "If Jacqueline is the one you are going to marry, then ......"
In front of Mrs. Chen, she suddenly changed to English: "Then why can't you be nice to her?"
Mrs. Chen shouted, "Where are you going to take her? ”
She actually rushed over and wanted to snatch Jacqueline away from Wanlan: "You go by yourself, don't stay in our house." ”
Wanlan turned around to look at Mrs. Chen in surprise, even Su Man was startled, and hurriedly went over to stop her: "Mom, what are you talking about, Mrs. is not wrong...... Even if your wife is at fault, you can't get rid of her like that. ”
"She has been married to our family for so many years, isn't it wrong enough?" Mrs. Chen said angrily, "It was I who was blind back then, and I actually married such a wicked woman to Yuji, why, now you still want to disturb Huang Yuanchu's marriage?"
Chen Ji really couldn't listen to it, he raised his voice sharply in the midst of a woman's screaming and thin voice, and shouted: "Shut up for me!"
Wanlan was not afraid of him, and nodded to Chen Ji after Mrs. Chen calmed down: "I'll go first." ”
Chen Ji also nodded: "Ask the driver to send you, be careful, if it's late, just wait over there, I'll pick you up." ”
He was expressing his position with Mrs. Chen, and at the same time, he took a very clever step towards Wanlan, right between Mrs. Chen and her, separating them.
Wanlan understood the meaning of his action, so she smiled at him, with all kinds of tenderness in her eyes: "I'll come back tomorrow morning, and I'm going to calm her emotions." ”
"She" refers to Jacqueline, who was obviously frightened by the farce just now, and is hiding behind Wanlan at this time, holding her arms tightly in the crook of her arm.
Chen Ji glanced at Jacqueline, knowing that his wishful thinking had been broken, and Jacqueline would inevitably break off with Chen Qi after returning to China, and never communicate again.
Wanlan comforted him softly: "Don't be discouraged, Yuji, there is no endless road, my friend Deling is also in the United States, she may be able to introduce some friends to us." ”
Chen Ji smiled at her: "Be careful on the road." ”
Wanlan walked down from the door, the car stopped at the door, she just went down the stairs, and she hurriedly turned around as if she remembered something, and whispered a word to the girl, the girl ran to the living room, and said, "Lixia, Mrs. asked you to bring her the rouge box on her dressing table." ”
Lixia had not dared to go downstairs until now, and when he heard this, he immediately jumped down the stairs like a frightened rabbit and went to the gate.
Mrs. Chen's face turned white: "It's not like words...... It's not like that!"
Chen Ji pinched his eyebrows and sighed: "Mother...... Do you want to eat at home, or go to a restaurant?
Mrs. Chen glared at him fiercely: "What do you eat? What else do you eat? I'm going to be full of anger, I have led this family like this, and I haven't even continued to burn incense, and I have married a wicked woman as the eldest daughter-in-law, and I will go down to the ground in the future, what face do I have to meet your father?"
Chen Ji couldn't bear it: "Mom, you remember how Pingkang didn't have it." ”
Mrs. Chen never expected that he would say this, and she was immediately dumbfounded. Chen Ji didn't want to pursue more in this matter-Wanlan didn't say anything anymore, what else could he do but be happy?
Mrs. Chen's face turned red and she cried: "Are you complaining about me?" Okay, you are also complaining about me now, I, a mother, don't have a heart on your brother, and now you are complaining about me because of an outsider...... Then what else do I have to say, Oman, you pack your things, let's go back to Yangzhou. ”
Su Man glanced at Chen Ji, responded continuously, took two steps up to support Mrs. Chen, and accompanied her to move out in trembling steps.
Chen Ji was really relieved, and actually said: "It's too late today, I'll send someone to send my mother back to Yangzhou tomorrow morning." ”
Mrs. Chen and Su Man were at a close acquittal, never expecting that Chen Ji would push the boat down the river. Chen Qi stood in front of his mother and brother like a stuffy gourd, without any ideas and not daring to have ideas.
"Eat at home. Chen Ji said, "I can't talk about anything tonight." ”
Jacqueline complains to Wanlan on the road, accusing her of being cowardly and not understanding why she allows others to dictate her and her husband's lives. Wanlan didn't know how to explain it to her, so she could only fool her vaguely: "That's my husband's mother, she just cares about her son." ”
Xie Huaichang was waiting for her in the house, and Wei Yunru also used the oven in the kitchen to bake strange-shaped bread. One of them had studied at a British ** school, and the other had just graduated from the English department, and each had a fluent English, which made Jacqueline feel a lot more comfortable.
Xie Huaichang's face became more and more terrifying the more he listened, and finally he stood up abruptly and said angrily: "Why do you never say a word to your family? The old thing deceives people too much! The day she came, I wondered why that girl was called a brother and sister with Chen Yuji, and it turned out that she was a drunkard who didn't mean to drink. ”
"Okay, Ning Yin," Wanlan waved his hand to reassure him, "This is my family matter, don't interfere." ”
