Chapter Eighty-Five: Hot Springs Tour (I)
The next morning, Yan Bin and Le Yao came out of the room one after another, they sat in the living room, and when Chen's mother put the breakfast on the table one by one, Le Yao looked around and couldn't help but shake her head.
"Mother Chen, haven't your godfather and godmother gotten up yet?" She took a piece of toast and asked.
"Yes, miss, I guess Mr. and Mrs. are still resting, right?"
Chen's mother's tone was very ordinary, and she seemed to be accustomed to such a scene.
Le Yao didn't speak, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and according to past practice, it's time to go to relatives. But......
"Bin, are you going out today?"
Yan Bin drank a glass of juice, looked at her, and asked, "Something?" ”
"No, I'm trying to say that there may be relatives coming to the house again today......"
Before she could finish her words, she was cut off by Yan Bin.
"That's not your relative, what are you doing so actively?"
There was mockery in his tone, and even the look in his eyes was contemptuous.
"I'm not positive, it's just that every time someone comes to the house, you go out, so what will the elders think?"
She is completely thinking about the problem from his standpoint, and in Yan Bin's eyes, she has long been equated with a scheming woman.
"As long as they can get a piece of the money every year, they won't say much else."
If it is someone else's family, it is very common for relatives to walk around each other during the New Year, but their Yan family is different, because the "Yan family" is Yan Shaolin in charge, and those who are suspected of nepotism are relying on his father to live, so naturally they will run very diligently during the New Year's holidays, and they can only be angry at his disrespect in their hearts.
"No matter how you say that you are also relatives, you will make it difficult for godfathers and godmothers to do this......"
Without parents and other relatives and friends, Le Yao's dependence on family affection is naturally greater than Yan Bin's.
"Put away your overflowing compassion!" He frowned.
"Bin ......"
Before Le Yao could say something, she saw Yan Shaolin and Yan Gui Yalan walking down from upstairs. Perhaps because she was too tired, Yan Gui Yalan's walking posture seemed a little weird.
"Why did you get up so early?" She pulled up her collar and smiled.
Originally, Le Yao and Yan Bin hadn't thought much of the strangeness of their elders, but Yan Gui Yalan's action was a bit suspicious of wanting to cover up.
"Godmother, Mama Chen's breakfast made today is very delicious!"
Without asking anything, Le Yao smiled charmingly at her.
"Really? Then I'll try it too. ”
Speaking of delicious food, Yan Gui Yalan came to her senses, but the soreness in her whole body made her frown, and she looked at the initiator with displeasure. On the contrary, Yan Shaolin acted as if he was fine, only those eyes revealed his smug smile.
"Mom, you should drink more milk this morning."
This is the first time that his son has shown such concern for himself, Yan Gui Yalan was stunned for a moment, and then full of emotion.
"Bin, you're such a good boy!"
Unexpectedly, his next words moved her.
"I'm worried that you're physically exhausted, and my dad will be distressed again."
Although this is a bit vague, the clear-eyed people can understand what she means when they hear it, and the smiling appearance of Le Yao, Chen Ma and Yan Shaolin fully illustrates this point.
"Stinky boy! What nonsense? She scolded lightly, her whole face as red as a boiled shrimp.
"Hahaha......"
Everyone couldn't hold back any longer, and laughter echoed in the living room.
"It's all you, I was teased by my son!"
Yan Gui Yalan looked at her husband with condemnation in her eyes, but the shyness that was not lost to the little woman completely captured his heart.
"Wife, you are so beautiful!"
The man sitting next to her couldn't resist his urge and stepped forward to give her a kiss.
"I said you two husband and wife, can you come out in the morning to stimulate people?"
Yan Bin rolled his eyes without curiosity, the biggest shortcoming of a pair of loving parents is to endure their fancy show of affection anytime and anywhere.
"You're not single!" The two husbands and wives turned their heads and said in unison.
Inexplicably affected by the "war", Le Yao's face was a little embarrassed.
"Godfather, godmother, if you don't eat breakfast again, it'll be cold." She changed the subject and said.
Knowing that her goddaughter was shy, Yan Gui Yalan immediately took out a red envelope from her pajama pocket and handed it to her.
"Xiao Yao, this is the New Year's money given to you by your godmother, you have to keep it well!" She laughed.
Being reminded by his wife like this, Yan Shaolin also remembered what he had prepared, and he also handed Le Yao a red envelope.
"Xiao Yao, this is the pocket money given to you by your godfather, you can only use what you want to buy, don't save it, just say if it's not enough, huh?"
For this goddaughter, the Yan couple can be said to love in every way, if they are unaware people, they still think that Le Yao is their biological one!
Le Yao looked at these two red envelopes, she was embarrassed to ask for them, especially since Yan Bin hadn't ...... yet
"Godmother, I'm an adult, I can't collect this New Year's money......"
"What adulthood is not adult? In our eyes, even if you are adults, you are still our children! ”
In the final analysis, it is just one sentence: the red envelopes sent out will never be allowed to be returned!
"But, ...... him"
"Oh, he, you don't have to worry about it." It was Yan Shaolin who spoke this time, and he still knew a lot about his son's temper. "This kid can already make his own money, so he doesn't need this."
"Uh......"
Le Yao was completely dumbfounded: is there really such a big difference between son and daughter in their eyes? Not to mention, she is not biological......
"Since my parents have given it to you, what are you hesitating about? Hypocrisy! He scoffed.
"Yan Bin, how did you speak early in the morning? It's still the New Year! Begging for it, huh? ”
Hearing that her daughter was being bullied, Yan Gui Yalan became angry, Yan Shaolin, who was sitting next to her, patted her hand gently, and also looked at her son with condemning eyes.
"For the New Year, don't talk about unhappy words!"
He knew that although his son was in love with Le Yao, his attitude towards her had always been hot and cold.
After taking the last sip of juice, he stood up.
"I'm done, you use it slowly."
"Stop!"
Stopping his son who was about to go out, the smile on Yan Gui Yalan's face disappeared in an instant.
"Mother, what else do you have to do?" He turned, lifted the corners of his lips, and asked.
"Are you going to go out for the New Year today? Later, when the relatives come, they want us to make excuses for you? ”
Hearing his mother's displeased voice, Yan Bin immediately sneered.
"My dear mother, don't you know that they don't really want to come to see us, do you?"
What he hates most in his life is vanity and wrongdoing, in the mall, this is an inescapable social interaction, but in private, he will not tolerate it much.
"Bin, it's just a superficial effort." Yan Shaolin frowned.
"If they really ask, you will say that I went out to work hard for their dividends, and I believe that in this way, those relatives will not have complaints." He laughed, only those eyes flowed with a cold gaze.
Hearing this, Yan Shaolin and Yan Gui Yalan were speechless, because such a thing had happened before, and the elders blamed him for not knowing the etiquette because Yan Bin was not at home, and then as soon as he said that it was because of the company's affairs, those elders suddenly changed their faces, saying that men still have a career, and it doesn't matter if they are greeted or not, the speed of changing faces is definitely the fastest in the world!
"Can I go now?" He asked.
Yan Shaolin waved his hand and signaled that his son could leave.
"Husband......"
Yan Gui Yalan looked at her husband with a slightly sad face, in fact, she didn't want to deal with these snobbish relatives in her husband's family, but she couldn't leave as chic as her son.
"Godfather, godmother, I have a proposal." Le Yao raised her head and whispered.
"What proposal?" Yan Shaolin asked.
"Why don't we go out for a walk today?"
Hanging out?
Yan Shaolin and Yan Gui Yalan looked at each other, obviously not expecting her to make such a proposal.
"I think that if we stay at home, we will definitely not be able to avoid guests, so let's just go out, so that even if others come, we will not be rude!" She analyzed.
Yan Shaolin thought about it and felt that his daughter's proposal was really good.
"Wife, why don't we just go out for a walk together as Xiao Yao said?"
Seeing her husband's slightly excited eyes, Yan Gui Yalan wanted to agree, but the question was: This is the New Year, the big shopping malls are closed, where can they go? Besides, what if Bin comes back and there is no one?
"Now that it's closed outside, where are we going to play?" She frowned.
"Godmother, don't you think winter is a good time to soak in hot springs?" She blinked and smiled.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Yan Gui Yalan's eyes radiated with fine light!
"Oh! Husband, let's go soak in the hot springs, shall we? ”
I've always said that the family wants to go out to the hot springs together, but there is always something that can't get out, but now it's okay, this Spring Festival is a good opportunity!
"Well, yes, I'll call Secretary Qin right now and ask her to book tickets for us."
"It's just, won't it be too late to make an appointment now?" Yan Gui Yalan frowned.
"Huh! Wife, believe me, as long as it is where you want to go, I will do it for you! ”
This is true, Yan Shaolin's degree of doting on his wife is well-known in the shopping mall.
"Alright, I'll call Bin now and ask him to come back and pack his bags and go with us."
As she spoke, she also made a phone call with great interest. Le Yao, who was sitting next to her, looked at them all happy, and was also glad that she had made a good suggestion.
It's just that Yan Shaolin had just finished explaining the relevant matters to Secretary Qin, and a relative called him.
"Husband, what's wrong?"
Seeing her husband's frowning appearance, Yan Gui Yalan suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart: Could it be that this trip to the hot springs will also be in the hot springs?
Yan Shaolin didn't make a sound, just made a "shhhh
"Godmother......"
Le Yao obviously felt Yan Gui Yalan's suddenly low mood, and she held the other party's hand without thinking about it.
"I'm fine."
Although she couldn't hide her disappointment, she still felt that her husband's affairs were more important. After a while, Yan Shaolin hung up the phone and walked towards them.
"Husband, is there something going on in the company? Still is? ”
Looking at his wife's worried appearance, Yan Shaolin grinned.
"Didn't you say we'd go to the hot springs together? Let's go pack now, shall we? By the way, what did Bin say? Do you want to go together? ”
Yan Gui Yalan nodded and said, "He said that he would be back in half an hour, husband, ...... that phone call just now"
"Oh, it's okay, it's my little brother calling, saying that he was coming over to greet us for the New Year, but I have already pushed it off." He said lightly.
Yan Shaolin has two younger brothers, the eldest brother is not interested in business, so he is currently living abroad, and he is a professor at a university; The younger brother is ambitious, since he entered the "Yan Clan", Yan Shaolin cared about his brotherhood and gave him an idle position as a deputy manager, but he coveted a higher position.
"But that's ...... Wouldn't it be great? ”
She looked at her husband worriedly, although the younger brother was respectful to their family on the surface, however, when the old man passed the position of the president of the "Yan family" to her husband, he was the first person to jump out to express his dissatisfaction. She was always wary of this man.
"What's so bad? After I said it, he just expressed his pity, and said that it would be the same if he had the opportunity to visit again next time. Yan Shaolin said disappreciatively.
"How can he be so good at talking?"
Yan Gui Yalan's eyes were full of suspicion, that little uncle looked like he was full of calculations, who knows if he would have other conspiracies secretly......
"Wife, he's my brother anyway, and he won't do anything to be sorry for me."
Yan Shaolin looked at his wife with a smile, and always felt that she was too worried about this matter.
"Husband, as the saying goes, 'you can't have the heart to hurt people, and you can't have the heart to prevent people' Your little brother is a person with a 'criminal record', we have to guard against it!"
His wife has already said this, and no matter how much Yan Shaolin wants to pretend to be stupid, he knows what she is talking about.
"However, he has been safe and secure for so many years, I believe he will not go down the wrong path again, right?"
In fact, Yan Shaolin was not very sure of this, after all, it was his wishful thinking.
"Husband, I know you care about your brotherhood, but you also have to see if the other party is worth your attention!"
The reason why she married Yan Shaolin at the beginning was also because he was one of the few businessmen in the mall who cared about family affection, and he changed to someone else's family, and he had such an unsuccessful younger brother, but he was afraid that he would have swept the other party out of the house long ago!
"Godfather, although this is the Yan family's housework, I shouldn't talk too much, but I think what my godmother said makes sense, no matter how you say it, it's a heart-to-heart belly!" Le Yao said.
Hearing that someone was supporting her, Yan Gui Yalan suddenly became confident.
"Husband, look, even Xiao Yao agrees with my words!"
Seeing that the mother and daughter in front of him were standing on the united front, Yan Shaolin smiled dumbly.
"I see what you mean, don't worry, I'll be careful."
In the final analysis, everything he does is for the good of his family, and naturally he doesn't want his wife and children to be hurt again.
"Hey, let's talk about it, didn't we say we were going to pack our luggage? Let's go! ”
Before the words fell, Yan Gui Yalan was the first to stand up and run to the room, seeing this, Yan Shaolin and Le Yao gave each other a look.
The wife (godmother) is still so resolute!
