Chapter 341: Confession
This tea is indeed not the best, but it is already a good tea for ordinary families, but for Master Nangong, this tea is naturally very different from what he usually drinks.
Because he was in a hurry before he came, he really didn't give Yanran too much time to think about what gifts to buy, according to Xuanmu's meaning, just eat a light meal, and no one will care too much if there are no gifts, but although Yanran is out of the town, grandma is still very strict with the etiquette of their two sisters. Especially when visiting someone else's house for the first time, you must not leave empty-handed. What's more, it's the first time to see Xuanmu's family, how can he be empty-handed?
So on the plane, I tentatively asked Xuanmu's family preferences, and learned that grandpa likes to drink tea, and she went to buy it after getting off the plane, but this tea has too much attention and doorway, and the price is divided into several levels, although I know that Nangong's grandfather usually drinks tea is the best, but this kind of tea is often tens of thousands, and not she can afford it as a salaryman.
The gift is just a heart, and if it becomes a burden, it will lose its original meaning, so the price of Yanran's gift is only within the scope of what she can afford.
But I didn't expect to encounter such an embarrassing scene, and the originally happy atmosphere instantly became depressed and low.
Master Nangong only took a sip of tea and left with a displeased face, Nangong Grandma took Yanran's hand and comforted her, coupled with Xuanmu's warm gaze, Yanran's heart somewhat relieved her nervousness, but no matter how dull people are, they can see that Grandpa Nangong doesn't seem to like her.
This was already evident when the two went to the study to say goodbye to their grandfather.
She and Xuanmu entered the study together. When he came out, there was only Xuanmu alone, and Master Nangong's original words were that he wanted to talk to Yanran.
Xuanmu didn't interfere and hesitate too much, he understood that grandpa was bound to pass Yanran's level, and he couldn't help her, but he believed that as long as grandpa understood Yanran's personality, he would naturally change his opinion of her.
In the study, only she and Grandpa Nangong were a little nervous and cramped, trying her best to maintain her best side. It's not that she's good at disguise. It's just that after all, it's Xuanmu's family, and it's the person she wants to marry, the more she wants to behave better because of the gap, and she can add more goodwill to herself.
It's just that. The silence and oppressive atmosphere of this room really overwhelmed her. Although Grandpa Nangong left her behind. didn't take the initiative to ask her, but put her aside and picked up the pen to practice calligraphy.
How can she break the embarrassment? Get up and sharpen the ink for him. Or stand by and watch, or go outside for him and bring him a cup of hot tea......
Oh ~ tea! He must have disliked her gift very much!
But if you don't do anything, just sit like this and look at each other as air, it's really inappropriate.
"That tea is too bad to eat, didn't Xuanmu tell you what kind of tea I usually drink? It's really not appropriate to give such a gift! ”
Grandpa Nangong paused slightly, and didn't look up at her, but seemed to have seen all her subtle expressions.
Although she is not as well-informed as Grandpa Nangong and has tasted countless teas, she also learned the tea ceremony when she was in Luoxi College, and in the eyes of ordinary people, the tea she bought as a gift is already expensive, although it is not the best, it is also a middle and upper product, but now it is rated as poor by Master Nangong......
I'm afraid that the inferior thing is not the tea, but the ......
"Xuanmu did tell me what kind of tea you usually like to drink, but that tea ......" Yan Ran lowered her head slightly, frowned slightly, her fingers couldn't help but twist together, she took a deep breath and continued: "It's just that tea is extremely rare, even the most famous tea shop in G City is hard to find, and you can't buy it without money." Even if...... Even if I did, with my current financial situation, I would not be able to afford it. ”
"My grandmother once told me that a gift is a heart, and as long as the heart is true enough, the person who receives the gift will naturally be able to understand it." Yanran raised her head and looked at Grandpa Nangong and said.
"That's how rude I am." Grandpa Nangong was finally willing to put down the pen and looked up at Yanran, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, with a vague smile.
"I didn't mean it that way......"
"I only heard that you were an orphan, but I don't know what school you graduated from and what is your current job?" Although the question raised by Master Nangong is sharp and hurtful, it is the minimum understanding that every family has for new members.
Family background, education, work ......
It is impossible for these Nangong masters not to know, but to say it like this, just to see how this girl will answer these embarrassing questions that may often be mentioned in the future.
Yan Ran was slightly stunned, mentioning her life experience, she only felt as if her heart had been pierced into thousands of silver needles, and she had a colic, but she had to let herself answer Grandpa Nangong's culture objectively and rationally.
She understands that the questions asked by Grandpa Nangong are normal for ordinary people, and they are not taboos that cannot be discussed, especially for the family members who will live together in the future, she should confess everything.
"I ...... It was an abandoned baby, I was adopted by my grandmother when I was 3 years old, and then my adoptive father was imprisoned for armed fighting, and my adoptive parents divorced when I was 4 years old and restarted the family, and since then I have lived with my grandmother and sister, and later ...... Then my grandmother died. Her life experience and that painful past are undoubtedly a scar on Yanran's heart, but now she has to uncover it with her own hands, which once choked her painful voice and held back tears.
"Because I was busy making ends meet and taking care of my ailing adoptive father, I took a two-year break from school, and it wasn't until last year that I graduated from D University and joined the Lin family. My adoptive father passed away last year, and now my sister and I are the only ones who depend on each other. Yan Ran's eyes were red after saying this, but she didn't shed tears, she told herself to confess her family background as calmly as possible, but obviously she was not as strong as she imagined.
"Hmm!" Grandpa Nangong nodded, without too much expression on his face, and looked at her for a while.
"How much do you know about Xuanmu's resume? Obviously, you have seen his background and family environment, and you must know what Nangong Group has developed to today. It is not an exaggeration to say that he was born with a golden key, since he was a child, whether it is the best food and use, he can speak 7 Chinese, has a fortune of 100 billion, graduated from a world-famous university, has a master's degree, and was rated as the youngest entrepreneur...... Have you examined the gap between you? You have to be with such a person, just love, how long can you go. (To be continued.) )
