94. Once it flew up the branches, it became a golden phoenix
Back at Jane's house, Jian Ling found that Jane. Christine's attitude was unusually kind, as soon as he saw Jian Ling, he was busy shushing and asking for warmth: "You came back suddenly this time, and you don't know how to say it in advance, so that I can send someone to pick you up." Running so far back home, are you hungry? I'll let the kitchen cook something delicious for you. ”
After speaking, regardless of Jian Ling's expressionless and cold face, he immediately asked Angela to call her and asked her to go to the kitchen to arrange dinner in person, and it was best to make her best vanilla cream pancake for Jian Ling to taste.
Strangely, Angela didn't protest either, and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner as Christine wanted.
Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief.
Jian Ling saw all this in his eyes, did not say much, and followed their meaning in silence.
Dinner was Chinese, the dishes were quite hearty, and of course, the vanilla cream pancake that Christine had specially ordered was also on the table.
Christine sat in the first place as usual, and Jian Ling, who had always sat at the end, was called by him to sit down on the first seat on the right this time. Angela sat opposite her, her makeup was exquisite, although her expression was not as enthusiastic as Christine's, she was always smiling, and all her hostility towards Jian Ling in the past had disappeared, and she really looked like a gentle and generous stepmother.
Not only that, but even the other three sisters were quiet, neither sneering at Jian Ling, nor deliberately coquettish with their parents in front of Jian Ling.
Tsk, what a harmonious family scene.
Jian Ling picked up the chopsticks, put a piece of crispy meat in his mouth and tasted it, the meat was quite fresh, but unfortunately it was fried a little too much, and there was a faint bitterness after the entrance, which was much worse than Xia's craftsmanship.
Although the taste was not palatable, Jian Ling did not have the habit of wasting food, and still quietly ate the whole piece of crispy meat slowly.
Seeing that she was eating seriously, Christine remembered the ancient Chinese custom that at the dinner table, the elders would often bring vegetables to the younger ones to show their love.
Although he didn't quite understand how this seemingly impolite and unhygienic behavior came about, he still picked up his chopsticks and put a piece of pancake in her bowl, and said with a smile: "The last time I ate Western food, I saw that you didn't use your knife and fork much, so I guess I didn't like it." This time, I specially asked the chef to find some Chinese recipes and made such a few dishes, especially this vanilla cream pancake, but Angela's specialty dish, you can eat it and see if it suits your appetite? ”
Jian Ling looked at the pancakes on the plate, added them up with chopsticks, and lowered his head to take a small bite.
At this time, Angela, who was sitting opposite, couldn't help but fix her eyes on her, as if she was very concerned about the taste of the pancakes. Although Angela has long been mentally prepared to be damaged by this girl, this pancake is her specialty dish after all, and she has not cooked for a long time.
Unexpectedly, Jian Ling didn't hurt her, but just took a sip of vanilla tea lightly: "It's okay." ”
There are no more words, although it has not been damaged, Angela still can't help but feel resentful - I want my dignified countess to cook for you in person, not only are you not grateful to Dade, but you put on such a lofty face?! If she hadn't been warned by Christine beforehand, she would have slapped the table and trained people.
Jian Ling naturally didn't know Angela's mental activity at this time, and after dinner quietly, she was about to get up and leave, but was stopped by Christine: "Don't rush back to the room first, our family hasn't said a few thoughtful words in a long time, come, go to the living room and sit for a while, Morris, go make a pot of black tea." ”
Facing his father's rare concern, Jian Ling nodded kindly and sat on the leather sofa in the living room with their family.
The delicate white porcelain gold-rimmed intarsia teacup, which contained fragrant black tea, Jian Ling quietly drank it slowly, waiting for them to take the initiative to speak.
Sure enough, after a few casual words, Christine finally got to the point she cared about the most: "I saw you on TV a few days ago, because of that talk show, you have now become the object of many people's conversations, and you are a celebrity." You can achieve where you are today, and our family is proud of you. ”
Jian Ling smiled faintly: "Really? Thank you. ”
Four words, not particularly indifferent, but made Christine, who was full of words, unable to find the words that could be continued, and in the end, he could only cough dryly twice: "I also watched that talk show, and I specially asked people to record it, which can be regarded as a memorial for your achievements." ”
"Oh."
Angela, who was silent for a moment and had been silent, finally couldn't help but interject and asked straight to the point: "Is it true that you publicly admitted your **** relationship with General Xia on TV?" ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Christine gave her an eventful look, and then quickly turned her gaze back to Jian Ling, and explained with a smile: "Don't worry too much, we are not particularly gossipy people, just because this is your life's event, as your parents, we should know, lest you suffer losses outside." ”
Jian Ling put down the teacup: "Thank you for your concern, in fact, this is also the purpose of my coming back this time." ”
Hearing this, Christine's eyes changed slightly, with a hint of expectation: "If you say anything, it's all a family, and we will definitely not hurt you." ”
"Natsu and I are planning to re-engage."
A simple sentence made the atmosphere pause for a second.
Soon, Christine showed a kind of happy smile: "That's really good, General Xia is a top figure in the Welsh Empire in terms of birth and status, and the fact that you can be together again after all these things shows that this is a good match from God." This time you have to take advantage of it and don't act as recklessly as you did last time. ”
Speaking of what happened last time, it was as if his brain had automatically formatted it, erasing all the memories of him scolding Jian Ling. In his eyes, Jian Ling's value is back...... No, it's higher than before!
Not only is she married to a good man, but she also has a military rank, and her future will be bright.
Thinking of this, Christine looked at Jian Ling's eyes becoming softer and softer, and more and more kind: "When are you going to get engaged?" Is the venue booked? Invitations or something, remember to send them out a month in advance, if you feel troublesome, you can also leave it to us to help you. The Jane family is your maiden family, no matter where you marry in the future, don't forget where your roots are, you know? ”
Jian Ling replied unhurriedly: "Don't worry, I know what my surname is, and I won't forget my roots." ”
Hearing this, Christine immediately felt relieved: "Good boy, you have to remember that we will always be a family and will always be on the same front. ”
"Well, I remember," Jian Ling paused, his eyes tired, "I'm sorry, I'm a little tired after a day's journey, if there is nothing else, I want to go back to my room and rest first." ”
"Okay, you go back to your room and rest, you can get up late tomorrow morning, and I'll have breakfast delivered to your room."
Seeing Jian Ling get up and leave upstairs, Christine took another sip of tea before getting up and going back to the room.
Thinking of Jian Ling's attitude and answer just now, he felt that he would definitely have a good dream tonight.
Watching Christine leave with a smile, Jian Mei finally couldn't help it, she put the teacup on the coffee table: "That stinky girl is really angry this time, once she flew up the branch and became a golden phoenix, relying on herself to hook up with a good man, even our whole family looked at her face and did things?!" ”
Jian Na and Jian Ni were also very unhappy, just now at the dinner table watching their father shush Jian Ling and ask for warmth, eager to put all the good dishes on the table into her bowl, the two sisters felt suffocated.
They have pressed Jian Ling for more than ten years, but they didn't expect to see Jian Ling's face one day, thinking that this kind of day will be endless in the future, they are even more angry that their internal organs are screwed together.
In the face of the annoyance of her daughters, Angela's face was also very ugly, but compared with her young and unstable daughters, she was obviously more calm as a mother: "Don't be in a hurry to lose your temper first, no matter what, Jian Ling has made a good relationship for the Jian family, and in the future, there will be a general to rely on, and the benefits of our Jian family are indispensable." But don't forget, your husband is also working in the military department, don't you want to be more confident in front of your husband in the future? ”
As soon as they heard this, the faces of the three daughters changed slightly, and although they were full of unwillingness, their faces softened a little.
Seeing that they were all calmer, Angela continued: "Anyway, Jian Ling is going to get engaged, and she will have to marry out in less than two years, and I will have the final say in this family in the future, where do you still need to look at her face again?!" ”
Jian Mei pressed the annoyance in her heart at this time, and a few cold lights flashed in her eyes: "When we get in touch with General Xia in the future, we will find a way to introduce Cousin Betty to him, I have to let that stinky girl taste the bitterness before I am willing!" ”
Betty is the daughter of the side branch of the Jane family, the same generation as Jian Mei in terms of generation, the same age as Jian Ling, and a well-known beauty. In terms of appearance alone, he is definitely on par with Jian Ling, in the past, in school, there were many boys who were jealous and fought for Betty.
Such a cousin once made Jian Mei and her two younger sisters envious and jealous for a long time, and now Jian Ling climbed the high branch, which is just a good time for her to come in handy. Jian Mei is very confident, as long as she is a man, whenever she sees Betty, she will definitely have straight eyes and will not even move.
Regarding Jian Mei's proposal, Jane Na and Jane immediately reacted as soon as their minds turned, and also seconded the proposal: "Let them go dog eats dog, let's take advantage of the fisherman!" ”
In the face of their instigation, Angela did not open her mouth to agree, but she did not directly refuse.
In this matter, we have to find a suitable opportunity, and it is definitely not as simple and easy to do as it is said.
She told her daughters to go back to bed, intending to go back and make a good count.
