Xu Zhiwei drove to work early in the morning, and the early morning sun cast warmly on the windshield of the car.

Although Xu Zhiwei was wearing a pair of sunglasses, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

It is said that people are in good spirits when they are happy. was promoted to vice president and forgiven by his daughter.

He felt like the whole world had become a better place.

Xu Zhiwei's boss Yu is always a man who is slightly older than him, and he is so cold that people dare not approach him when he works. After putting down his work, he is a kind uncle, and he is very optimistic about Xu Zhiwei.

Mr. Yu arrived at the company half an hour earlier than Xu Zhiwei, and when he saw him coming, he was greeted into his office.

With a smile on his face, he said to Xu Zhiwei: "Congratulations on your hard work for so many years and finally getting the position of vice president." In a few years, you will be able to" Mr. Yu stopped talking, patted the swivel chair under his buttocks and continued: "Sit here." ”

Xu Zhiwei didn't think much about it, Mr. Yu has always been better to him than other colleagues in the company, and in his heart, he has regarded him as a friend.

So at this moment, he also felt that Yu was always blessed from the bottom of his heart.

Out of the general manager's office, Xu Zhiwei couldn't wait to call his friend who had eaten with him before to ask about the puppy.

His friend is also a dog lover, and takes his pet with him wherever he goes, like a son.

Xu Zhiwei didn't study the breed of dogs, so he had to call him and ask him, ready to ask him to get himself a white dog.

The phone rang twice and was picked up.

Xu Zhiwei asked him with a smile: "Lao Li, ask you something." Do you know what breed a white dog is, preferably the kind that doesn't take up an area? ”

The person on the other end of the phone asked in obvious disbelief, "Why, you're starting to like raising small animals too?" ”

Xu Zhiwei shook his head: "Hey, it's not my baby daughter who likes it." Do you have a way to get me a way? ”

"No problem, I have acquaintances who run a pet shop. When to do it? ”

"I'll look for you after work at night, and you give me the dog?"

"Okay."

Xu Zhiwei waited until a busy sound came from the phone before taking the phone off his ear.

I felt a snickering in my heart, wishing I could see my daughter's happy face when she saw the puppy now.

When he was humming a little song proudly, Mr. Yu came over and asked him, "What is so happy?" ”

"It's okay, I just asked a friend to buy me a dog."

Mr. Yu didn't ask much, and still greeted him with a smile.

Seeing that the time to go to work was approaching, colleagues stepped on the point and came to their workstations.

Mr. Yu instructed his colleague sitting opposite Xu Zhiwei to help him clean the office of the former vice president and let him move in to work.

Xu Zhiwei only cared about thanking Mr. Yu, and didn't pay attention to the dissatisfied eyes of his colleagues.

*

Finally it was time to get off work, and Xu Zhiwei clocked in and out of work for the first time in such a hurry.

Carrying a three-month-old schnauzer home.

The little one has always been quite recognizable, hiding in the cage and screaming non-stop, like a little baby who has left his mother's arms.

When he got home, Xinyi was already standing at the door to greet him. Seeing the puppy in the iron cage in his hand, he jumped and jumped with excitement.

Xu Zhiwei really hasn't seen his daughter so happy for a long time.

Ding Shengyan looked disgusted, and muttered to herself: "What kind of pet to keep in a good manner." Xu Zhiwei hurriedly pushed her with his elbow, for fear of being heard by his daughter. Ding Shengyan stopped her mouth dissatisfied.

Said lazily: "Go wash your hands and eat." ”

Xu Xinyi has been squatting on the ground to watch the puppy. Hearing this, he suddenly raised his head and said lightly at Ding Shengyan's bewitching back: "After dinner, you pack up your luggage and move out." ”

Xu Zhiwei and Ding Shengyan were stunned, and the two looked at each other. thought that Xu Xinyi would accept Ding Shengyan by the way if she forgave him, but she didn't expect that she was still wrong.

Ding Shengyan's face became very ugly, and her eyes glared at Xu Zhiwei vigorously.

Who has the final say in this family! If she doesn't tell Xu Xinyi that she has now received a marriage certificate with Xu Zhiwei, she will be forced away by this girl sooner or later!

Xu Zhiwei coughed dryly twice, leaned down and touched the puppy's head, and Schnauzer stared at him with a pair of watery eyes, looking pitiful and innocent.

"Xinyi, you see, Dad is usually busy at work, and you have to go to school again, so we don't have time to take care of this little life. It just so happens that your Aunt Ding is at home and can help feed the puppy. ”

Xu Xinyi didn't raise her head, her eyes were lowered, and her curled eyelashes flashed. There was no emotion in his tone: "I'll figure out how to deal with the puppy." Feed once in the morning before going to school and come back again at noon. ”

Xu Zhiwei sighed: "What if we all leave and the puppy gets sick?" ”

"Look, Aunt Ding is at home, she can still cook for us and take care of the puppy, isn't this a double win?"

Xu Xinyi thought for a while and looked up at Ding Shengyan, who was busy at the dining table. Putting aside his prejudice against her, what Dad said is not unreasonable.

When Xu Zhiwei saw that his daughter did not refute, he knew that there was hope.

"Shall we wash our hands and eat first?"

Xu Xinyi took a piece of braised pork from the plate in front of her, put it in her mouth and chewed it. It tastes exactly like a restaurant! But in front of the people she hates, how could she show that this meal is with her appetite? Isn't it to raise the morale of others and destroy your own prestige?

Xu Zhiwei also took a mouthful of food into his mouth, and praised the deliciousness with a thumbs up, and Ding Shengyan laughed when he heard the praise.

"If you think it's delicious, I'll make it for you often."

Xu Zhiwei stabbed her with his elbow again, instigating Ding Shengyan to pick up vegetables for her daughter, Ding Shengyan refused, the two squeezed their eyebrows for a while, and Ding Shengyan reluctantly sandwiched a piece of fish and sent it to her bowl.

Xu Xinyi's hand froze in place, if she ate the food she gave herself, it meant that she acquiesced to her. In the end, I put the chopsticks on the edge of the bowl and didn't eat them.

Suddenly felt that this meal was a little unsavory, she put down the dishes and chopsticks and looked at her, there was no emotion in her eyes, moved her lips, and said coldly: "You don't have to please me so much, it's impossible to make me accept you, I can remember what you said to me last night." ”

Xu Zhiwei's chopsticks to pick up vegetables stopped in mid-air, tilted his head sideways, and looked at Ding Shengyan with a puzzled face.

"What did you say to Xinyi last night?"

"I" Ding Shengyan stammered, not knowing how to speak. She just said something angry because her son was driven away by her, how could she sue the wicked person first, although she also thought about it that way, if Xu Xinyi had been targeting her and making her unable to stay in this house, of course she would not be so angry.

"She said this home is hers!" Xu Xinyi said next, and looked at Xu Zhiwei again: "Dad, whose family do you say this family belongs to?" ”

As soon as Xu Zhiwei heard this, he swallowed the food that had not yet been swallowed in his mouth.

This question is too acute, he suddenly feels as if he has married two wives, the eldest wife is not used to the second wife, and the two wives want to confirm their important position in his heart in order to compete for favor.

He scratched at his head, his slightly wrinkled face stiffening.

Xu Xinyi and Ding Shengyan didn't eat either, they looked at him directly, waiting for his answer.

Ding Shengyan clasped her hands in front of her chest, with a slight anger in her eyes. After all, she and Xu Zhiwei are also legal wives, no matter how much Xu Xinyi hates her, this family is also her own. It's not her turn yet! If one day someone had to leave this house, it wouldn't be her!

Xu Zhiwei knows that some things can't be avoided, although after a day's work, when he comes home, he also hopes to have a hot meal and have a happy atmosphere.

But after all, Ding Shengyan is Xinyi's stepmother, and in Xinyi's eyes, there may only be Yuting as a mother. It's normal not to be able to accept her all at once now. As long as I have more patience to be a peacemaker, maybe Er Xinyi will accept her.

I just got my daughter's understanding yesterday, and I must follow my daughter's thoughts, and Ding Shengyan can explain it herself.

Xu Zhiwei smiled at Xu Xinyi, and the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes were folded into thin lines. Although I am older, and I have worked hard in the past few years, my gray hair and wrinkles have also grown. But his heroic appearance when he was young has not diminished much because of time, on the contrary, he looks more mature and stable. There is a charm unique to middle-aged men.

He took a piece of Coke chicken wings from the plate and sent it to Xu Xinyi's bowl, and said in a low but extremely gentle voice: "Xinyi, Dad told you before, no matter what, this home will always be yours." ”

Xu Xinyi obviously got a satisfactory answer, and looked at the good-looking woman sitting opposite her proudly and chuckled, a little ironic.

When he and Zhao Bin were caught kissing in a bar by their father before, Ding Shengyan also looked at him with such smug eyes.

She's just treating her in the way of others.

Ding Shengyan sat there with an embarrassed expression, but if she showed it, wouldn't she have the upper hand, and how could she stay in this house in the future? You know, she has to be the mistress of this house.

She didn't speak, there was still a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, and she slowly sent the rice to her mouth, eating extremely elegantly, as if the table was full of delicacies, and she needed to taste it carefully to taste the taste. This action, this demeanor, is simply the same as Shen Chenchen.

Shen Chenchen? That's right!

Xu Xinyi almost forgot that this woman was Shen Chenchen's mother!

Her eyes flickered, for fear that the woman opposite her would see through her thoughts. So she picked up the bowl and ate the piece of Coke chicken wings that her father had given her with white rice.

Put down the dishes and chopsticks and run to see the schnauzer.

Ding Shengyan restrained her smile and looked at Xu Zhiwei, who was eating with relish beside her. A nameless fire unconsciously ignited in my heart.
