Chapter 404: Yixue is punished
(Thank you Brother Huaxin for your cute little powder and gifts, thank you for the gifts of Xu Shao, Brother Poison, and Sister Qianyu, and thank you for the ticket support of Brother Mao Xue and Mochizuki, o (n_n) o Kaisen)
"You're only ten years old......" Yixue was helpless, the children now are maturing too fast.
Xinya pouted: "There are several pairs in our class, but I haven't found a boy who looks pleasing to the eye." β
"Okay, well, when Xinya has a crush on someone, remember to tell Brother SΓΉ, and when the time comes, my brother will invite you to eat ice cream."
"Okay!" Xinya clapped her hands happily, she liked to eat ice cream the most, and only Yixue would take her to eat it, and her parents would only say that she would gain weight after eating ice cream, and would not let her eat it.
The childish laughter of the child drove away the awkward and dreary air in the room, and it was time for dinner.
Mrs. Chen walked down from the upper floor, dressed in a brown silk cheongsam, her hair was snow-white but her face was ruddy, not angry but mighty, and the wrinkles on her face were also traces of her vicissitudes.
The appearance of Mrs. Chen made the living room quiet, and everyone stood up and looked at her respectfully, including Xiao Xinya, who also obediently snuggled in Yixue's arms.
"Everyone is here, let's eat." Mrs. Chen's simple words, calm and powerful, show the demeanor of the head of the family.
A dining table that can accommodate more than 20 people was suddenly full, Mrs. Chen sat in the chief, Chen Xi sat on her left side, Chen Xu sat on her right side, and the rest of the people sat in order according to their seniority, without the slightest deviation.
In a big family like the Chen family, meals are all based on seniority, this is a family rule, a family rule passed down from the ancestors. Even Mrs. Chen didn't dare to disobey. Chen Xi is the most powerful person in the family except for Mrs. Chen, so he sits on the left side, and Chen Xu's status in the company is second only to Chen Xi, so he sits on the right side.
The Chen family is strict, although this is an enlightened era, but there are some rules to abide by when you are born in the Chen family. This is something that everyone in the family has been cultivating since childhood, and it has been passed down from generation to generation.
The table was full of delicacies, but no one would move the chopsticks first, because Mrs. Chen had not yet spoken.
It's fine when I usually eat. But when encountering such a family banquet where the whole family gathered, the atmosphere became strict, and even those who had sneered at Chen Yixue before maintained a humble attitude and look.
Mrs. Chen looked around at everyone, and finally her eyes fell on Yi Xue, seeing that he was not shocked and indifferent, not as cautious as others, but liked it very much, she smiled slightly: "Let's eat chopsticks, the chef has made a few new dishes today." How about a taste. Xue'er, you eat more, there are a lot of things going on in the company these days, and your body is important! β
Grandmothers love their grandchildren, which is a common thing in ordinary people's homes. But this is the Chen family, and the special care of the old lady Chen aroused the jealousy of Yixue's aunt Sun Qi, she thought to herself: "This old lady only cares about Yixue, why doesn't she care about my son, who is also a grandson." Why is it so eccentric! β
Of course, she only dared to think about it, but she didn't dare to say it, the majesty of Mrs. Chen, she didn't dare to violate, on weekdays. Mrs. Chen is still quite kind, but if she hears her eating the vinegar of her precious grandson Yixue, she will definitely be furious.
The old ancestor spoke, and the others began to eat. Few people spoke during the meal, and even when they did, they only whispered praise for the deliciousness of the dishes. No loud noises. And they all eat as if they have been trained, gently, chewing slowly. I don't see anyone's chopsticks reaching out to the other side of the plate, and they all consciously only pinch the side in front of them in the plate.
If you want to drink soup, you can only use a spoon to scoop it into your own bowl, and you can't put your chopsticks into the soup bowl to stir it.
The servants are always on the side, and the food that needs to be cut with a knife and fork in the middle of the table will be cut by the servants and distributed to their bowls, they will not get up and do it themselves, they must maintain etiquette and grace at all times.
During the banquet, Mrs. Chen would ask everyone present about their work and study, and report to anyone who asked. Yixue felt that this was like a family banquet, more like a company report and a meeting...... However, he respects his grandmother very much, and has the most harmonious relationship with his grandmother, and he is the only one who dares to snuggle in his grandmother's arms and coquettish like a child, however, on this occasion, he will not, he must abide by the customs of the family and maintain due elegance and politeness.
Restrained and uncomfortable, Yixue didn't like this kind of family banquet in her heart, buried herself in eating, and planned to withdraw after eating for a while. He couldn't stand the dreary atmosphere, and he preferred to go back to his residence and cook a bowl of noodles to fill his stomach......
The Chen family is used to such a family banquet, and before they are about to finish the table, Chen Xi spoke:
"There is an important thing to say about calling you all back for dinner today...... It's about the marriage of Yixue and Yiyun. You are all elders, if you have any ideas or suitable candidates, just bring them up. Chen Xi said lightly, but these words undoubtedly brought considerable shock
When they heard this, everyone froze and couldn't help but look at each other...... Is this about to start a marriage? It's finally time to do it.
A middle-aged woman sitting at the end of the position was clutching chopsticks tightly, and there was a hint of nervousness between her eyebrows, she was Yixue's aunt.
My aunt loves Yixue very much, regards Yixue as her own, thinks that at the beginning, she had a beloved, but she couldn't marry him, and became a victim of the family marriage, she didn't want Yixue to repeat the mistakes of the past, she hoped that her nephew could find a beloved girl, marry home, and live happily. However, in this family, she does not have as much status as her brothers, and she does not dare to be the first to say anything.
The atmosphere of the scene sank suddenly, Chen Yixue just stretched out her chopsticks, her hand paused slightly in mid-air, and then quietly picked up a piece of green vegetables into the bowl without saying a word.
Yiyun looked at his mother Sun Qi, received a signal from his mother's eyes, and said to Chen Xi with a smile: "Uncle, when it comes to getting married, you tell me, and I will listen to your arrangements." β
Chen Xi said "um" and nodded with satisfaction, but seeing that Yixue didn't say anything, Chen Xi's eyes showed a little annoyance...... This son of his own is too individual.
"Chen Xi is right, Yixue and Yiyun should get married, if it were in another family, they would have given birth to children a long time ago, and I would have hugged my great-grandson a long time ago......" Regarding Chen Xi's issue, Mrs. Chen agreed.
When Sun Qi heard this, he hurriedly echoed: "Yes, our family hasn't had a happy event for a long time, Yixue and Yiyun have already reached the age of marriage, it's time to add great-grandchildren to your mother!" β
A middle-aged man with an ordinary-looking mustache said, "Brother, do you already have a crush?" In Haicheng, it is not easy to find a daughter who can match our family and is of marriageable age, I am afraid it is not easy to ......" This is Yixue's uncle.
"Yes, if you want to be worthy of our Chen family's daughter, you must not only be the right person, but also have both talent and appearance, and you must be able to go up to the hall and down to the kitchen...... You must have to be a lady! Sun Qi's additional sentences were immediately agreed.
"That's right, it's hard to find...... Gotta pick ...... slowly."
ββ¦β¦β
The discussion of the elders seems to be for Yixue's sake, but they all know the taste of this. Because they are all family-arranged marriages, they know how tedious and helpless this kind of marriage can be. And now, it is Chen Yixue's turn, and soon he will become a victim of the involuntary marriage of a wealthy family like them......
Yiyun responded politely, but Yixue was deaf, and there was no joy in her deep phoenix eyes.
Chen Xi pressed the impatience in her heart: "Yixue, what do you mean?" β
Yi Xue couldn't help but sneer secretly, remembering what she meant to ask him.
"I don't want to get married just yet." Chen Yi Xueyun's words of light breeze suddenly made everyone stunned and gasped......
In this family, he is the only one who dares to speak to Chen Xi like this.
Chen Xi's face darkened......
Sun Qi is a person who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, seeing Chenxi's gloomy face, she is even more happy in her heart, and puts on the posture of an elder: "Yixue, you don't want to get married, haven't you had enough?" I've heard...... You often spent time with Qin Zhuojun's sister and brought her back to your apartment...... You also have to pay attention to the impact when you are looking for a girl outside, if you are photographed by those reporters, you will have to make the headlines of the entertainment section again! β
Chen Yixue, the young master of Chen's Group, and Shen Ruhan, the editor-in-chief of Tianya Weekly, live in this ...... If this is known by reporters, it will be ironclad headlines!
The room suddenly became silent, and there was a slight sense of oppression in the condensed air, and everyone could see how ugly Chen Xi's face was at the moment.
Chen Yixue's eyebrows sank, and she glanced at her aunt, and the light burst out of her eyes was extremely cold, like a thorny blade poking at Sun Qi's body, this woman immediately buried her head in pretending to eat vegetables, and secretly cursed in her heart: This Chen Yixue's eyes are too terrible, but so what, she is the eldest aunt, and he can't be angry at her.
Sitting next to Sun Qi was her son Chen Yiyun, who nervously pulled the corner of his mother's clothes at the moment.
Sun Qi didn't speak again, but the others began to talk again.
"Yixue, you are the general manager of the company and the face of the Chen family, how can you take the girl home casually...... This...... That's a bit of a no-brainer...... Alas. β
"There are a lot of daughters outside who admire you, isn't it easy for you to want a woman, why do you take this Shen Ruhan home, she is a celebrity in Haicheng, many people know her!"
"That's it, it's better to go anywhere and don't go to home, it's the easiest to be bumped into by reporters......"
"Our Chen family is a famous family, you are together, if something else happens, you can ......"
ββ¦β¦β
Everyone was talking about it, meaning that they were accusing Yixue, fearing that his behavior would affect the reputation of the Chen family.
The real wealthy family has very strict family rules, and it is not as rumored that you can go to the hotel with anyone to open a room and take anyone home. The children of wealthy families can be attentive and can change girlfriends from time to time, but they are all in private. They pay more attention to the impact than to the infatuation with women.
Yi Xue was silent, her handsome and elegant face showed a little embarrassment, he didn't mention it to anyone about taking Ruhan home, I don't know how the eldest aunt knew. RL
