The sun is sinking in the west, the moon is in the middle of the sky, and most of the noisy and blazing capital turns to the glittering side, just like the classical woman who takes off her shirt and cheongsam, changes into a black silk short skirt, and begins another round of sultry night.

Dai Minli's apartment is located in the building near Wangfujing Pedestrian Street, although it ranks among the best in the second ring of every inch of land, it can be regarded as not eye-catching in the powerful circle of the capital where dignitaries and dignitaries are everywhere, and this house is also one of the benefits provided by Dai Minli's state-owned enterprise unit, according to the length of service, the price bought a few years ago is simply called the cabbage level today!

Of course, don't think that Chen Yuanping's family is so simple and simple compared to Chen Yuanding's family, Chen Xiao knows very well that in addition to this apartment building, Dai Minli's own properties include no less than 5 high-quality houses in the Third Ring Road and Pearl City, and even several shops in the pedestrian street have her shares, even if the financial resources are far less than that of her mother Yang Huazhi, she can be regarded as a veritable noblewoman.

But due to her special status, coupled with her husband and son being away all the year round, Dai Minli, as the daughter-in-law of the Chen family, always has to follow the principle of low-key living, so as not to give people a handle, especially during this period, it is still a critical period for the Chen family to step into the ranks of wealthy families in a few years.

Since childhood, Chen Xiao has not been very close to Dai Minli because of his fear of his uncle and disgust with his cousin, Dai Minli, as an elder, although most of the time she is kind and pleasant, but the little Jiujiu in her heart has already been revealed, but because of Chen Yuanding's power, Yang Huazhi's business attainments, and Chen Dagongzi's improvement and progress, the contemptuous attitude has gradually converged a little, and the movement has gradually become more frequent.

After Chen Xiao arrived by car, she once again secretly sighed for Dai Minli's "first cut and then play", and directly tied up her daughter-in-law first, so that she was embarrassed not to come!

Nothing to be courteous or a thief, not to mention this famous saying among friends and colleagues, even if it is replaced by relatives and clansmen, it is also applicable to Dai Minli to invite herself and Su Jin so deliberately, it is far from being as simple as accompanying her birthday!

The reason for this, if it was a day earlier, Chen Xiao might not be able to guess it, but after listening to Ren Bing's bitter water in the afternoon, he would be sure that he would not be far from ten!

After taking the elevator to the floor, Chen Xiao pressed the doorbell, and not long after, when the door opened, a smiling Dai Minli appeared in front of her.

"It's coming, come in."

Dai Minli greeted people warmly, and said: "Hey, now the family wants to get together, but it's really difficult, your parents, uncle and uncle won't mention it, your aunt can't have an operation tonight, and even your cousin is still waiting in the army, if it weren't for you and Su Jin, I don't know how bleak my old woman's birthday would be......"

Chen Xiao said with a smile: "Don't you say it's a small birthday, wait for your fiftieth birthday next year, needless to mention, I will take all the state guesthouses in Diaoyutai early in the morning to congratulate you, make the scenery beautiful, and make the ladies of those compounds jealous." ”

Even if she knew that he was talking about the scene, Dai Minli still listened comfortably for a while, and said with a smile: "You, this mouth is becoming more and more clever, and the words are as beautiful as the splendid article, the aunt has lived to this age, and she is still happy to listen to it, okay, hide the words, keep it and wait to go with your daughter-in-law!" ”

"Hey, why didn't Su Jin come with you?"

"Oh, she said she was going to buy something, and she would come later."

got the invitation of the elders, how could Su Jin, who was the daughter-in-law of the Chen family, refuse, not only forcibly applied for a shift transfer to the column group, but also had to prepare gifts in a hurry, a lot of hard work and painstaking work, just to prevent Chen Xiao from making it difficult. …,

Dai Minli also knew her temporary intentions, which made the little couple a little scrambling, and she was slightly sorry in her heart, "Isn't it all explained, it's just that your family has a home-cooked meal, don't prepare any gifts, why don't you listen......"

"Su Jin and I definitely don't dare to disobey the order, but our parents' wishes, we have to bring it, otherwise we will have to be trained again!"

Chen Xiao's tongue is lotus, and the etiquette of the younger generation is not leaky.

Dai Minli had no choice but to sigh in a low voice: "Let you two children bother......

Chen Xiao smiled and said, "What about the eldest brother?" ”

"It's still in the house, you go to the living room and sit first, and you can have dinner later."

After that, Dai Minli came to the corridor and called out, and reminded Chen Xiao that she had arrived, and after a while, a response came from the bedroom, and the tone was vaguely mixed with impatience.

Chen Xiao frowned slightly, and when she met Dai Minli's embarrassed smile when she turned around, she quickly stretched out, as if she didn't take this cousin's rude behavior to heart at all.

If it is said that the original youth and vigor made Chen Xiao almost do not hide his disgust with Chen Ding, but after these two years of encounters, the maturity and sophistication of his mind and the familiarity of human feelings have made Chen Xiao's way of dealing with people more and more serious, especially in the past half a year in the tempering of the Central Committee of the League, as Old Man Su expected, the once infamous gentleman is transforming into a pampered and unfazed superior!

If it is because of some abrupt actions of the other party, it will make the liver angry, it will still be too naïve!

Dai Minli saw it in her eyes, although she had long been accustomed to the change of this nephew, she still couldn't suppress the surprise in her heart, and then she sighed again.

Once upon a time, Dai Minli relied on her son's excellent qualifications, and she was honored in the family or outside the family, so she mostly ignored Chen Xiao, who had a bad character, even if she criticized and preached a few words under the guise of "love", the main purpose was to achieve the purpose of setting off her son.

But time has passed, seeing that Chen Xiao has experienced the tempering in Yunjiang, shown a different mind, and gradually received the attention and support of the Chen and Su families, Dai Minli was a little uncomfortable, so she persuaded her son to come back from abroad and arrange him to enter the south/power grid, hoping that he could rise as soon as possible, give himself long ambition, and even avoid the Chen family's political inheritance being usurped.

Today's meal, she originally couldn't pull her feet down, and she was worried that her husband would know about it, but for the sake of her son's future, she decided to give it a try.

At this moment, seeing Chen Xiao's repeated respect for herself, and in connection with her son's performance, Dai Minli is snobbish and shrewd, but people are not grass and trees, and their hearts are not rocks, they are more or less always a little guilty and uneasy, and they are vaguely dissatisfied with their son: how can I read books for so many years, my knowledge of knowledge and reasoning has not improved, and my ability to be arrogant has grown, and I don't have the bearing of being a brother at all!

As soon as she thought of this, Dai Minli's tone couldn't help but become heavier, urging Chen Ding to come out quickly, while comforting Chen Xiao: "Your brother is busy with affairs these days, and he just got off the plane last night, so it is inevitable that his spirit is not very good, don't go to your heart."

"It's not that a family doesn't enter a family, their own brothers, they don't pay so much attention to it."

Chen Xiao smiled calmly, and her humble appearance made Dai Minli have mixed tastes for a while, and sighed at the impermanence of the world.

At this moment, the bedroom door opened, and Chen Ding, who had just finished washing, was late, vaguely similar to Chen Xiao's appearance, but his eyes hidden behind the thick lenses looked a little dull, and his image was biased towards twilight and aging, and he couldn't see the slightest bit of vitality. …,

After not seeing each other for several years, the two brothers did not have a strong joy when they met, and they were not even as good as ordinary friends in the market, but they only completed the ceremony of reunion with a symbolic nod and smile.

No matter how wide Chen Xiao's qi is, he will not be stupid enough to stick a hot face to a cold butt, and the posture at this end must be handled properly, otherwise it will only make people look down on him, fortunately, his city government is no longer what it used to be, and his gestures will neither cause people to be alienated nor flattering, and the just right performance is no less than those dignitaries and giants, which makes Chen Ding, who has always regarded himself very highly, suspicious, and only feels that the clan brother in front of him seems to be a little different from the impression of the past few years......

"Let's sit down first, it's my mother's birthday today, I should have picked you up in person, but I got off the plane in the early morning, I was really tired, and I lost my etiquette, don't bet on my big brother's anger."

Chen Ding patted Chen Xiao's shoulder, seemingly gentle and elegant, but the meaning of his voice seemed disapproving.

"Auntie is an elder, we should have taken the initiative, if we really let people invite three or four times, it would be a loss of etiquette."

Chen Xiao smiled tepidly, and said lightly: "Especially a young man like cousin, who is rich and rich, is even more familiar with these etiquettes, you know, the elders who play a small room let me take you as an example." ”

Chen Ding's face froze instantly, and his cheeks, which had been smiling all the year round, were a little red, but he really didn't expect that his casual ridicule would attract the other party's sharp ridicule, and the stunned gap made him unable to take the conversation for a while, and his heart was also shocked!

According to experience, he used to almost use the mentality of cat and mouse, firmly controlling the emotions of this cousin, and could easily make the other party jokingly scratch his ears and cheeks, how could he have been so suffocated, these words are clearly insinuating that he does not have the temperament of the eldest son and grandson, and even more, he doesn't even understand the minimum etiquette of the children of the family!

Subconsciously, he thought of the rumors about this cousin he had heard abroad in the past two years, and at first he thought that his family was exaggerating, or that Chen Xiao was just a little trick of pretending to be intimidated by his father's authority, and sooner or later he would relapse into the old state, but now that he was frustrated, even if he was unwilling, he was shocked that his assumptions were wrong, and even the deviation of the mistake may be far beyond his imagination!

Embarrassed and indignant, Chen Ding smiled reluctantly, and his eyes behind the lenses darkened a little.
