Chapter 57: The Storm is Coming
When Mrs. Wu and Xu Ming rushed to the door of the restaurant where they had dinner in advance, they met Xu Lie, who also came in advance. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Mrs. Wu smiled and wanted to say hello, but Xu Ming dragged Mrs. Wu behind him.
"Okay, my wife and I came to prepare it in advance, and we will arrange this year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner." No need for your help. Xu Ming said unceremoniously.
Mrs. Wu didn't know that Xu Ming rushed to see Xu Lie as soon as he learned that Xu Lie had asked Grandma Xu to investigate Mrs. Wu's net worth. The two quarreled for a long time, and finally broke up.
In fact, it is not so much a quarrel as Xu Ming's unilateral accusation. Xu Lie only said: "I'm all for your good." After a sentence, he stopped making a sound, and let Xu Ming accuse and complain there.
In fact, it's no wonder that Xu Ming is annoyed, Xu Lie and Xu Ming are only three years apart, they have grown up together since they were children, and they are by Grandma Xu's side, and the relationship between the two is the best among the brothers. Xu Lie's father, who is Xu Ming's fourth uncle, has the best relationship with Xu Ming's father.
Xu Ming has always trusted and relied on Xu Lie the most, so when he went to Wujia Village, he was relieved that the company he created was managed by Xu Lie. And Xu Lie has never interfered in his emotional affairs, they are like-minded and maintain a respectful distance from each other. But Xu Lie didn't know why he was so nosy this time. And this idle thing was originally the person he shouldn't be in care of.
"I came early to tell you something. There are two of us, alone. Xu Lie said to Xu Ming expressionlessly.
Since Mrs. Wu saw Xu Lie for the first time, there was very little change in expression on his face, and occasionally chuckled, that is, the corners of his mouth grinned, and he couldn't see any change in his expression.
"I've already said what I should have said, and I don't want to talk to you anymore. If the company has something to do, go to the company and say. Xu Ming ignored Xu Lie, grabbed Mrs. Wu's wrist and walked straight into the hotel.
Mrs. Wu bowed her head and smiled apologetically at Xu Ming, which was regarded as a greeting.
The interior of the hotel is extremely luxurious, with various colors of European crystal chandeliers overhead, pure white high-grade marble floors underfoot, and expensive European-style tapestries on the walls all around. The beautiful welcome lady at the door smiled and led Xu Ming and Mrs. Wu to a private room on the second floor.
Mrs. Wu carefully looked at the decoration in the private room, the same European style, the decoration and layout of the room were similar to Xu Ming's home. It's just more tapestries and carpets. Mrs. Wu naturally didn't like these layouts, and she was dazzled, and suddenly thought that such a decoration would be too troublesome to clean.
There is only one thing that Mrs. Wu likes very much, the chandelier light in this room is a warm pale yellow. The whole room glows warmly with pale yellow lighting. It's not like the blinding incandescent light out there, which she doesn't like. And the lighting in this room reminded her of her own small house in Wujia Village, which was very warm.
"Why, they knew you as soon as you came?" Mrs. Wu looked at the welcome lady who walked out politely and asked Xu Ming.
"Oh, this is Grandma's shop." Xu Ming said casually, just like this five-star hotel and a small stall on the wholesale street. No, for their Xu family, this is just a small stall. Mrs. Wu only knew that they were rich people, but she didn't know what kind of rich people they were.
Eighty percent of the houses on the most prosperous and lively commercial street in this urban area belong to his Xu family. The names of the Xu brothers are also well-known here. Except for Xu Ming, who is low-key and unsociable, the other sons and grandsons of the Xu family are popular figures on news TV.
These Martial Ladies don't know or don't understand, and even if they do, they won't mind. After all, all she knows and cares about is the man in front of her who regards her as a treasure.
"Oh, I said." Since Mrs. Wu left her own one-acre and two-part land in Wujia Village, she has entered Xu Ming's circle. Naturally, all I have seen are places of luxury and money. In addition, she herself is not very clear about the concept of wealth, so she did not express much emotion.
She doesn't know much about Xu Ming's city, and she has never been to other cities to explore and understand, so she is not very clear about Xu Ming's concept of wealth. She stupidly thought in her heart that in the city where Xu Ming lived, probably everyone lived like Xu Ming. Just like the people in their samurai village, although there is also a difference between the rich and the poor, the standard of living is almost the same.
"Well, how's the environment? Do you still like it? Xu Ming looked at Mrs. Wu, who was looking around, and asked.
"It's okay, it's just that these tapestries and carpets are too stuffy, if there were no such things, the house would be simpler and neater." Mrs. Wu said with a smile.
Xu Ming chuckled, her perspective was always so different. All the tapestries in this shop are pure handicrafts, and Grandma Xu spent a lot of money to order them to be airlifted from a famous European craftsman's shop. Grandma Xu didn't know how precious it was, she actually said that it was messy and cumbersome.
"What, I said the wrong thing? Why are you laughing at me? But I like the foggy lights. Mrs. Wu continued to pace and look at the layout in the private room, all kinds of strange handicrafts and decorations, which made people dizzy.
"What's this?" Mrs. Wu pointed to a jade tiger sculpture with simple and clear lines and asked Xu Mingdao.
"This is the zodiac sculpture given to him by his grandfather on Grandma Xu's 60th birthday. Hetian jade, rare. ”
"Oh. Pretty. Mrs. Wu praised on her lips, but she couldn't help muttering in her heart. What jade, gold, silver, how can anyone favor these things? In the end, it's just piles of stones and metal, and there is no hot food and warm clothes.
Look at the ironed crisp little suit without a trace of lines on his body, how uncomfortable it is. What is more comfortable than a small cardigan made by yourself with a small cotton vest? And these five or six centimeter-high heels on the feet, it's really restrictive. If you wear such a suit to work on the ground, you must not exhaust yourself to death, Mrs. Wu thought.
However, Xu Ming said that wearing this is the most suitable for today's occasion, simple and generous.
But Mrs. Wu always felt that what Xu Ming said was unreasonable. Family banquet family banquet, as the name suggests, is a banquet like at home, it is not how comfortable it is. Do you still use such a hard job of dressing up with your family? It's so tiring. The family banquet she can understand is that the family gets together to eat, laugh and laugh, and as for dressing, it is the least important thing to care about.
But he always has his reasoning for arranging, she doesn't know the customs and customs here, so she has to obey Xu Ming's arrangement.
Besides, Xu Ming's arrangement to give Mrs. Wu is not all because she doesn't like it, what she loves most is the bottle of perfume that Xu Ming gave her. The fragrance sprayed on the clothes is fresh and lasting, and it is very popular with Mrs. Wu.
In the past, she thought that the most fragrant was the small purple unknown flowers that bloomed at night in front of her house, but now she realized that there were really things that were more fragrant than the small flowers. I love it so much!
"Well, your phone is ringing." Xu Ming said to Mrs. Wu. It was Xu Mingxin who gave her a smartphone, on which she could learn literacy and idioms, and it took her a lot of effort to learn to use it. But it's really convenient to use, you can also buy things on it, and you can also watch movies and listen to music.
In the past, Xu Ming also gave Mrs. Wu a smartphone, but it was forgotten at home, and there are still a lot of prenatal music that Mrs. Wu likes.
"Who is looking for me, is it my family?" Mrs. Wu happily picked it up, not many people knew about this new mobile phone number, she had only told Lin Yue and her brother.
"I'm Brother Xu!" It was Xu Lie's voice that came from there.
"Don't speak, listen to me. You can't let Xu Ming know that I'm calling you, if Xu Ming is by your side now, you can find a way to go a little farther. Xu Lie said.
Mrs. Wu glanced at Xu Ming, who was discussing the dishes and the location of her family with the service staff, quietly moved to the bathroom, and whispered, "Say it." ”
"Xu Ming doesn't see me and doesn't answer my phone, I know he blames me. However, there were some things I had to do. Now, you take Xu Ming and leave immediately, you can't attend this party. Let's go. You have to figure it out. Mrs. Wu could hear that Xu Lie over there was very nervous. Although I didn't know much about him, there must have been something important about how nervous he was so unsmiling. However, she couldn't tell exactly what was going on, and she didn't want to trust him.
"I'll go talk to Xu Ming, and now, I'll only listen to his opinion. We said yes. Be honest with each other and don't hide from each other. Mrs. Wu said seriously.
"I'll tell him what I need to say, but for now, you guys leave first. I'm doing this for your own good. You don't want to live happily with Xu Ming in the future. ”
Xu Lie tried to persuade Mrs. Wu, trying to use his momentum to suppress Mrs. Wu to obey him. So the tone is a little tough, judging by Xu Ming's emotional experience, women are the masters who can open a dyeing workshop if they give her three points of color. If you're stronger, they'll give in. What's more, it's an ignorant woman like Mrs. Wu who came out of a poor ravine.
"I'm sorry, I don't think it's polite for you to talk to me like that. You'd better talk to Xu Ming yourself, I'm sorry. Also, I respect you and will not tell Xu Ming about your call. After Mrs. Wu finished speaking, she hung up Xu Ming's phone.
Xu Lie on the other side of the phone was stunned for a while, although he only had one side, he also knew that although this village woman was ignorant, she was not a person who did not know how to be polite and thorough. And this kind of thoughtful person is generally cautious and cautious, and will never take any risks. And now that he has made a clear warning, the other party can still ignore it, is it wrong to judge himself?
"Well, I've ordered all the dishes, but we both prefer light and sweet tastes, do you see any of your favorite dishes? I specially asked someone to invite a master from the north to come over. Xu Ming looked at Mrs. Wu who came out of the bathroom and said.
"If you don't have a favorite food, you can order whatever you want. It's just that you know grandma's taste better, order more of what her old people love to eat. Mrs. Wu instructed.
