The day after Guan Yunyun's return to Shanghai was a sunny day. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info she worked all morning in a very good mood, and after lunch, stretching, she suddenly remembered Xu Yunfeng's younger brother who had not been in touch for a long time, so she sent him a text message. Five minutes later, Xu Yunfeng called her back and asked her to come out for afternoon tea that day.

When I came to the tea restaurant as promised, I saw Xu Yunfeng dressed in black and tired, looking a little gloomy compared to the dinner meeting a year ago.

"Xiaoyun, how is this Spring Festival?"

"Be safe and happy, what about you?"

"I, ah, live the same every day - seeing people everywhere, eating and drinking, not doing anything serious."

"Huh? Why don't I see you grow meat after eating and drinking every day...... What are you going to do for the New Year? Isn't it just playing. ”

"Play also depends on how to play, and eating depends on who you eat with. You're not in Shanghai, I really don't know who to find for dinner. ”

"Okay, Xu Gongzi, you are a talented and talented person, don't make fun of my sister and me." Guan Yunyun teased him sarcastically.

"Xiaoyun, you are a fair lady and very smart, how dare I make fun of you, son?" Xu Yunfeng smiled slightly and said, "I just want to find you out for tea and chat." ”

"Do you have something on your mind?" Guan Yunyun asked him bluntly.

"Do I want to chase you?" Xu Yunfeng replied straightforwardly.

"Nonsense, it's not like it at all - you must have something else."

"Why do you have to think that?" Xu Yunfeng asked with a complicated expression.

Guan Yunyun thought for a moment and replied, "The intuition of a thirty-year-old woman. ”

Just as he was about to leave after checking out, Xu Yunfeng suddenly brought up an invitation: "By the way, this Saturday is my birthday, I will hold a dinner party at home, do you have time to come?" ”

"Saturday? Okay, I wish you a happy birthday in advance! By the way, what birthday gift do you want? ”

"Don't send it, it's too troublesome. Remember that you don't need to give gifts, you just need to come over. ”

"That's not good......"

"I really don't need to, I'm not used to receiving gifts. By the way, the dinner starts at 5 p.m. on Saturday at the Hongqiao side. I'll send you a text message with the time and place in advance. ”

"Oh, okay. See you then, Soon-to-be. ”

"Mm-hmm, see you on Saturday."

Back at home, Guan Yunyun pondered why he couldn't eat and drink for nothing with a white face and empty stomach, and he needed to express his congratulations more or less, so he picked up a paintbrush, ripped open a canvas, and painted seriously.

At the same time, Ji Wei was temporarily saying goodbye to her resentful mother and helpless father at the airport. The parents still have a few small shops in Chengdu and a piece of land to take care of, and they plan to come back to her to settle accounts after a while.

After Ji Wei gave her father a deep hug, she waved goodbye to the angry backs of the two great gods.

Then, she breathed a deep sigh of relief that the focus of her life could finally be shifted back to work.

rushed back to the company non-stop, and as soon as Ji Wei stepped into the company's door, a WeChat message was pushed. This news is not from Kevin, Feng Yu, Chen Xiaotian, nor from Stegg or Johnny, but from Alexander-

[Hi, how are you?] 】

[I'm fine. Hello, what's the matter? 】

[Remember the last time I said that I asked you to dinner after I came back from Hangzhou? 】

[Well, remember.] 】

[I've been very busy since I came back, and you're often not online, so it took so long to have a chance to make an appointment with you. Why don't I treat you to dinner this Saturday night, are you free? 】

Ji Wei thought for a minute, and felt that there was really nothing wrong, so she replied: [What time is it at night? 】

[6:30 At a Japanese restaurant bar on the side street behind Ryunomu, it is a restaurant called Torian.] Alexander then sent a webpage in English, which contained detailed information about the restaurant.

[Okay, I'll see you then.] 】

[Well, I'll see you then.; -)】

Closing the dialog box, Ji Wei opened the web and searched for Alexander's resume, and spent fifteen minutes poring through his profile—she didn't want to lose a potential partner at the dinner table on Saturday.

Saturday is here in a flash.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Guan Yunyun took a taxi and arrived outside Xu Yunfeng's house on time.

Standing outside the double-opened iron gate of this luxurious villa compound, she hesitantly sent a text message to Xu Yunfeng, telling him that she had arrived. After a while, Xu Yunfeng personally came out to open the door for her and led her inside. They walked through the front porch and atrium paved by small bridges and water platforms, and walked along the side passage paved with red and black stone slabs by the pool all the way to the main house, and as soon as they entered the hall on the first floor, Guan Yunyun immediately regretted coming.

There were dozens or twenty people gathered in a pile in the room, only four or five people looked about her age, the others were all at the level of her mother and uncle, and a few children were playing around in the room. Looking at the only few young people in the room, they were all dressed appropriately and capably, one of them, Xu Xiaoxiao, was wearing a Chanel suit, sitting on the big black backrest sofa, and the moment she saw Guan Yunyun stepping into the room, a look of surprise flew over her face. On the other hand, Guan Yunyun is wearing a small floral dress today, with a big green hat and a thick knitted sweater (there are two huge coarse pompoms hanging from the brim), as well as a pair of sports cloth shoes on her feet that she painted so vividly that she can no longer distinguish her original face, and the large flower canvas bag and plastic painting tube in her hand...... She seems to be a little too casual and casual.

Xu Yunfeng led Xiaoyun to the sofa to greet Xu Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, this is Xiaoyun, do you remember?" I asked her over to play. ”

"Oh, remember." Xu Xiaoxiao didn't raise her eyes to say hello.

"Hello, Xiaoxiao, long time no see, how are you doing?" Guan Yunyun smiled at Xu Xiaoxiao.

Xu Xiaoxiao didn't respond to her cold noise, but picked up a magazine at hand and flipped through it.

"This is Xiaofeng's friend? Xiaoyun is a nice name. A lady sitting next to Xu Xiaoxiao accosted. She looks nine points similar to Xu Xiaoxiao, with delicate makeup on her face, it is difficult to see the specific age, but her temperament is extraordinary.

[This should be Xu Xiaoxiao's biological mother. Guan Yunyun felt it.

Sure enough-

"This is the second mother." Xu Yunfeng introduced: "Second mother, this is Guan Yunyun. ”

"Auntie is so ......"

"Well, good. Come here today and have a good time. There are water, wine, and drinks that you can take as much as you want, so if you need anything, just let me know. The second mother said with a gentle smile.

Subsequently, Xu Yunfeng led Xiaoyun to meet a few more cousins, aunts and uncles, as well as a few colleagues with distant relatives.

After a circle, Guan Yunyun was a little confused, and his mind began to be confused.

Taking advantage of the half-minute break, Guan Yunyun pulled Xu Yunfeng's cuffs and asked him, "What kind of dinner is this today?" ”

"It's my birthday party." Xu Yunfeng replied that geography was a matter of course.

"Why are it all your family?" Guan Yunyun asked again.

"Since I returned to China, I have had my birthday like this every time in the past two years. It turned out that I stayed abroad for too long and rarely spent time with them, so they hoped to help me with my birthday in the past few years. ”

"Family reunion...... Why didn't you see your own mother? Guan Yunyun blurted out a stupid question without thinking about it. As soon as the words came out, she regretted it.

"My mom and I divorced a long time ago, and now we've remarried in the United States. She rarely returns home, but I do find time to visit her in the United States. Xu Yunfeng took it lightly, then turned his head sincerely and said, "By the way, Xiaoyun, I have a small matter I want to ask you for help." ”

"How can it help? ......" For some reason, looking at Xu Yunfeng's shimmering eyes, Guan Yunyun suddenly felt a little chill down his spine.

"That's right, my dad recently arranged for me to have a relationship with the daughter of a friend of his, and I didn't agree, so I told him that I already had a girlfriend here in Shanghai, and I loved him very much. In addition, I promised him and his second mother to bring their girlfriends over to show them today. ”

"You...... What does that mean? ”

"I told them you were my girlfriend."

"What?!"

"Be quiet......" Xu Yunfeng hurriedly raised a finger and put it in front of her mouth: "I think so, if I told you in advance, you would definitely not come." But I also know that if you come, you'll definitely help me, right? He winked mischievously.

Just as Guan Yunyun's mind continued to stir with paste, and wondered if he was going to find a chance to slip away, a few words from the other side of the room said "It's time to eat", and everyone greeted each other and walked towards the dining room.

The long row of tables in the middle of the restaurant is beautifully arranged, with eight chairs on the left and right, plus two seats at each end, for a total of 18 seats. The man sitting at the head of the table was an old man in his sixties, and although he always had a smile on his face, his majesty and awe-inspiring air were undiminished. Guan Yunyun hadn't seen him in the hall before, guessing that he might be Xu Yunfeng's father. When Xu Yunfeng dragged her forward to introduce, he found that he had not guessed wrong, this person was Xu Yunfeng's father, Xu Yirong, chairman of AIA Group.

"Dad, this is Guan Yunyun." Xu Yunfeng grabbed Xiaoyun's wrist and walked in front of Xu Yirong, and introduced with a relaxed face, "Xiaoyun, this is my father." ”

"Xu, Uncle Xu is so ......"

Xu Yirong had a smile on his face, glanced at Guan Yunyun with very penetrating eyes, and said lightly: "Miss Li, find a seat and sit casually." ”

Guan Yunyun looked at the dining table, everyone was already seated, only the two seats on Xu Yirong's left hand were empty, and it seemed that there was no chance to sit casually. Xu Yunfeng's second mother sat next to Xu Yirong in his upper right position, while Xu Xiaoxiao sat on the right hand side of the second mother. Xu Yunfeng pulled away the chair of the second seat on Xu Yirong's left and motioned for Guan Yunyun to sit down, while he sat down close to Xu Yirong's left. When Guan Yunyun sat down, she broke out in a cold sweat nervously for some reason, and it was easy to adjust her mentality, and she raised her chin a little bit to her neck, just in time to see Xu Xiaoxiao, who was sitting opposite, and glanced at her with a look that was colder than a polar bear.

After a while, the two servants began to serve the food. They first served a glass bowl in front of everyone, which contained clear soup water with chrysanthemum petals floating in it.

Guan Yunyun looked left and right and found that everyone was chatting except for himself. Xu Yunfeng was chatting with his father about a few things about the company's business, while Xu Xiaoxiao was whispering to his mother opposite. She was the only one who sat up straight, not knowing how to put her hands and feet properly, and her eyes not knowing where to look. So, she had to stare at the bowl of soup for a long time - just as she was about to touch the spoon on the dining table, Xu Yunfeng suddenly said very softly next to her: "This is for washing your hands." ”

This move was caught by Xu Xiaoxiao, she laughed out loud, and then glanced at the second mother meaningfully.

Guan Yunyun's face was so red that it burned to his neck. She quickly and gently lowered the spoon and retracted her hand to rest obediently on her knee.

After that, Guan Yunyun didn't dare to move the chopsticks and spoons anymore, and it was always Xu Yunfeng who thoughtfully sandwiched the dishes in her bowl, and she ate these and those things in the bowl without taking a bite. She doesn't remember much about what she ate at the end of this meal.
