Chapter 55: The Fan Family Dinner
Because of Su Xiaoyan's gatekeeping, this news seems to be unintentional, but it is from the perspective of Li Tianyi. After the news broadcast that night, there were also good deeds in the WeChat circle of friends who deliberately intercepted the clip of Fan Chengze saving the troublemakers, with the words "rich second generation bravely saving migrant workers", which was widely forwarded. Fan Chengze asked Su Xiaoyan what to do because of this, but she was calm and said that she would sink in a few days and ignore it. There were also some magazines that made appointments for Fan Chengze to interview, but they all made him resign. What made him even more depressed was that it seemed that suddenly many people knew him.
One day after work, he was going to walk a few steps to the dessert shop opposite to buy a cake for Sissi before driving. After walking a few steps, he felt that someone had been following him, so he turned to look.
The woman looked like she was in her 50s, and her face was also delicate, and when she saw him turn around, she was a little embarrassed and said, "You are the little boss who saved the migrant workers, right?" β
Fan Chengze hummed helplessly, then turned around and left. The woman followed, looked at him carefully, and continued, "It's very dangerous, don't do such a dangerous thing in the future." You see, you are a small boss of a large group, why do you need to go in person. What if I drag you down? That man is guilty of himself. β
Fan Chengze could only smile at her and said in a friendly way: "Auntie, human life is at stake, if I can catch him, I must catch him." β
"You've got a good heart. Your name is Fan Chengze? Be sure to pay attention to it in the future. β
"Okay, Auntie. Good bye. Fan Chengze could only speed up his pace and no longer listen to her chatter. took Su Xiaoyan to dinner, he learned a few words from her, and Su Xiaoyan joked that he had become a celebrity in K City. was already so handsome, but now he has such a good heart, and he has become an idol of middle-aged and elderly women again, and there are too many competitors.
"Then you have to cherish it." Fan Chengze looked serious and made Su Xiaoyan laugh.
Tianyi, the accident site "Splendid Real Estate", suddenly became a hot search word in Baidu. If the anniversary celebration is to make a name for itself in the circle, then this jumping incident really made "Tianyi" gain popularity among ordinary people. Fan Chengguang launched the print advertisement of the "Splendid" real estate in advance and opened a sales consultation office. Later, the special report on migrant workers' salaries and charity condolences improved Tianyi's public welfare image a lot.
For the successful resolution of this matter, Fan Weiming had a very good impression of Su Xiaoyan. also asked Fan Chengze about some of her situation, and even mentioned whether she would come to work in the group, Fan Chengze said that he could ask. Fan Chengguang smiled and didn't speak, and when the two walked out of his father's office together, Fan Chengguang suddenly asked, "Aze, what do you think of Su Xiaoyan?" Fan Chengze was stunned, exploring the purpose of Fan Chengguang's question. I only heard Fan Chengguang continue: "I may have known her earlier than you. At that time, she was going to get a divorce in H City, and because of a friend's relationship, I sent Zhao Yu to help her. It seems that the results are not bad. β
"Oh." Fan Chengze didn't say much. Zhao Yu and his brother both thought that they had known Su Xiaoyan earlier than him, and if they knew that Su Xiaoyan had an affair with him without a divorce, they might treat her even more differently.
"No matter how good it is, it's a divorced woman after all." Fan Chengze avoided the disgust in his brother's eyes. "Brother, what do you want to say?"
"It's okay to like it, but don't get it serious."
"Why?"
"You wouldn't be naΓ―ve enough to think that grandma and dad would accept such a woman. Even if Dad kept praising her for her talent just now. β
"It's my thing."
"Brother is not against you, just to remind you. Don't do these things that don't make sense. β
Fan Chengguang glanced at Fan Chengze a little distressed, the back of his departure, I don't know why in Fan Chengze's opinion, it looked a little lonely.
The New Year will be in a week.
In the evening, Su Xiaoyan took Xixi to Fan Chengze's apartment to cook and eat. As soon as Fan Chengze came home, he kissed and scratched Xixi, and their frolicking made this originally quiet place suddenly become very warm. However, what made Fan Chengze depressed was that no matter what Xixi asked, Su Xiaoyan would not spend the night here.
"Sissy is small, but she will tell my mother." Su Xiaoyan leaned on Fan Chengze's ear and whispered.
"When will I visit Auntie?" Fan Chengze said: "Look at your expression, every time I say this, you have this face." β
"You're so famous now, I'm afraid I'll scare my mother." Su Xiaoyan said apologetically.
"Come on, you. Too lazy to bother with you. Fan Chengze picked up Xixi and didn't say much to Su Xiaoyan, and walked straight away, leaving her to laugh wryly.
Because at the end of the year, Xiao Qiuyun often went to her grandmother's house to clean and tidy up, and she was not often at home, so she didn't care much about Su Xiaoyan's early departure and late return, and she didn't care much about eating out. Grandma and grandfather still live in an old house in the suburbs, and when they came back this time, Dad Suda said happily that the old house was said to be included in the new district and may have to be demolished.
When he came back in the evening, Xiao Qiuyun inadvertently asked Xixi: "Baby, where did you go to eat delicious food at night?" β
"Uncle's house."
"Uncle Ke Hui's house? Is it good to play with the young lady? β
"Sissy, Mom just bought a new storybook, which one should I read first?" Su Xiaoyan would pretend to take Xixi away very casually and interrupt the conversation between the two of them. She didn't say anything about the contradiction with Ke Hui, so Xiao Qiuyun didn't know. She knew in her heart that no matter whether her mother would agree or not, she didn't have the courage to tell her mother that she was dating Fan Chengze now. In two days, Fan Chengze was going to the UK to pick up her sister Fan Chengxi, and she wanted to take advantage of the time when the two were separated to think about how to tell her mother.
The smell of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger.
Because Fan Chengze was going to the UK tomorrow to pick up his sister Fan Chengxi, the Fan family held a small family banquet for her.
Fan Chengguang's wife Li Shuangrong returned to K City with her son Haohao for the New Year. What made Fan Chengze depressed was that his grandmother really invited Wang Sisi again.
Wang Sisi and sister-in-law Li Shuangrong helped their mother in the kitchen.
"You have to judge which dish is the best at night, but I won't tell you in advance who made it." Mother Chen Jun brought out a pot of braised pork. Due to the accident at the construction site, everyone was busy, and there were not so many people eating at home for a long time, and grandma looked very happy. "Everyone is so good at cooking, the men of our Fan family are all blessed!"
"Sisi, has your uncle returned to K City?" Fan Weiming asked with a smile.
"I'll be back in two days. Uncle always mentions you and tells you interesting stories about your previous construction sites. β
"Your uncle's unit at that time was going to build a new building, and everyone couldn't give it any gifts. Later, I learned that he secretly went to many construction sites to see the quality of construction. β
"yes. He said that he saw that you were scolding you because the workers were pouring less cement, so he decided to contract the building to you. Uncle, your character has always been highly respected by my uncle. β
"Where is it, Wang is a good official who really does practical things for the people."
Fan Chengze took a deep breath and glanced at Fan Chengguang, who gave him a sympathetic look. Immediately afterwards, what grandma said made Fan Chengguang's eyes more sympathetic. "Wei Ming, when the minister comes back, when will you sit down and discuss the matter of these two children when you are free. Don't delay. β
"Grandma, Sisi and I are friends, not what you think." As soon as Fan Chengze's words came out, Wang Sisi's smile froze on his face. Fan Weiming was just about to criticize Fan Chengze, but Li Shuangrong hurriedly made a round: "Grandma, now the young people's affairs are up to them, and we can't worry about it." Come on, I'll cook this fish, how about it taste? β
After eating, Fan Chengze walked to the garden outside the house to smoke, Wang Sisi looked at him from a distance inside the house, but did not dare to approach. Fan Chengguang came out and stretched out his hand to ask for a cigarette, and the brothers stood under the tree and smoked together silently.
"This is the marriage of a family like ours, which is good for everyone."
"In a family like ours, do we still need to cling to the powerful?"
Fan Chengguang couldn't answer, and took a deep puff of cigarette.
"When, help me ask Su Xiaoyan, how is Chen Xinran now?"
"I heard that the wedding date is scheduled for the second half of next year."
"Oh, so fast."
Fan Chengguang didn't ask Fan Chengze how he knew about the relationship between the two of them, and Fan Chengze didn't explore their relationship. Between men, many things are clear in their hearts and will not explain too much. On this night, Fan Chengze seemed to walk into his brother's heart for the first time and saw the helplessness that made him strange.
On the way to send Wang Sisi away, Fan Chengze didn't say a word. Wang Sisi didn't speak, just quietly looked out the window. Before getting out of the car, Fan Chengze said lightly: "Sisi, I don't want our family to misunderstand again." β
"Hmm." Wang Sisi also got out of the car as if he was running away. The night was a little shivering, and she didn't dare to turn her head back, and rushed to the elevator door. At night, she indulged in the illusion of "Fan's quasi-daughter-in-law", and didn't have the courage to ask Fan Chengze why she couldn't accept herself, she still believed that as long as he didn't have a girlfriend, she was always the most suitable.
The next minute when Fan Chengze sent Wang Sisi out, his grandmother asked Fan Chengguang: "Does Aze have a girlfriend?" β
"Grandma, Aze has only told you everything since he was a child, how would I know." Fan Chengguang couldn't stay a little bit, Haohao kept making noise around him, which made him upset and wanted to go out for a walk.
"If not, why don't you want to be nice to Sisi?"
"He has to like it."
"You two can imagine it, and you're very particular about what you like." Li Shuangrong sarcastically said.
"Shuangrong, you can take Haohao to sleep." Mom interrupted. Li Shuangrong answered, didn't look at Fan Chengguang, and took Haohao's hand upstairs.
"Ah Guang, help grandma check, is there a woman next to Ah Ze? He is no longer on the construction site than he used to be, and there may be a lot of women pestering him. His head is not as active as yours, you have to watch it as a brother. After speaking, grandma actually glanced at her mother Chen Jun. Whether you want to watch it or not, he's your brother. β
For his grandmother's reminder, Fan Chengguang was shocked and became more and more upset, he glanced at his mother, hugged him, and said, "I will, grandma." Mom, I went out to party with friends. β
"Come back early." Mom was still sitting on the sofa, her face couldn't see joy and anger, and she said lightly.
Grandma sat on the sofa, took Chen Jun's hand, and said, "Xiaojun, this is a home, and maintaining it is a home, otherwise it will be scattered." Do you understand? β
"Mom, I know."
"Aze marrying Sisi will not do any harm to this family, it will only help Ah Guang even more. The two brothers have different hearts, and you have to understand this to be of the same mind as me. β
Chen Jun didn't answer immediately, and glanced at the family photo on the table, many things are easy to say, but difficult to do. If it is stuck in the throat, only you can understand the pain. She smiled and said, "Mom, I've always been with you." β
On the way home, Fan Chengze drove around the floor of Su Xiaoyan's house, grinded the phone, and asked her to come down.
As soon as he ran down, he picked up Su Xiaoyan and made her scream. It took a long time to let go, and before getting into the car, Su Xiaoyan seemed to see a figure flashing on the outer wall next to him, and after looking at it, he felt that he was too careful, maybe a resident of the community walked by.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm afraid my dad will see it."
"That's great, where is my uncle, I'll pay a visit."
"Got a car."
Fan Chengze turned the steering wheel with a smile and took her back to the apartment.
"Stop."
"No, I can't. Tell my mom to go out for a while. β
"How do you look like a high school student?"
"That's how you picked up girls in high school?"
"I can't talk about you. I'll clean you up later. β
