Chapter 35: The Su Family Gathering

*

The four seasons alternate, the days in September gradually became shorter, the nights gradually lengthened, and when Meng Xuan and Shang Xiaoyu arrived, there were already stars in the sky.

Wang Ma was waiting at the door early in the morning, and when she saw Meng Xuan, she immediately greeted her with a smile. She secretly looked at Shang Xiaoyu and couldn't stop stealing fun.

"The eldest young master has already arrived, in the study." Wang Ma said.

Meng Xuan replied that he understood, and then took Shang Xiaoyu's hand and entered the door, Shang Xiaoyu took a deep breath again and again, Meng Xuan looked at her with a smile, and then tightened her hand to make her feel at ease.

It should be a good recuperation, and Meng Shuhua's complexion looks very good. She was wearing a purple knitted sweater, her hair was coiled up and she looked extravagant, and she had long since lost the sickness of the previous days.

As soon as she saw Shang Xiaoyu, Meng Shuhua was very satisfied, holding her hand and chatting non-stop.

"Are there any siblings in the family?" Meng Shuhua asked.

"I have a younger sister." When he said this, Su Yize and Su's father, Su Jianye, happened to come down from the second floor.

Su Jianye and Su Yize are simply carved out of a mold, especially when they both wear glasses, but Su Yize's polite temperament looks more than Su's father, and Su Jianye looks more majestic than everyone.

"This is Xiao Yu, Yi Ze and Xiao Xuan both mentioned you to me." Su Jianye had a smile on his face, and he looked a little approachable.

Shang Xiaoyu got up and greeted Su's father politely, Su Jianye seemed to be more satisfied with this girl who seemed to be well-behaved and sensible.

Meng Shuhua dragged Meng Xuan to the kitchen in the name of helping, but the dinner party in the restaurant had already been prepared by Wang's mother, and she was just waiting for Su Jianye to give an order to start the meal, so the little Jiujiu Meng Xuan in her mother's heart naturally knew it.

"You have a girlfriend, what about the blind date with Tian Yi arranged for you before, people from the outside world have always taken her as your fiancΓ©e." Meng Shuhua whispered.

Meng Xuan pursed his lips and said, "That's not what you did on purpose, let the two of us eat and participate in a drinking party or something at every turn, then can others not misunderstand, besides, Tian Yi likes my brother, and she has a good relationship with Shang Xiaoyu." ”

"They know?" Meng Shuhua questioned.

"Yes, she knows about the relationship between the two of us." Meng Xuan explained, "Instead of wasting time on me, it's better to match my brother." ”

Meng Shuhua looked embarrassed and said: "You don't know, can I be the master of your brother's marriage, Tian Yi is still a very good girl, it seems that she has no fate to marry in." She sighed, "Tian Yi is fine." Meng Shuhua patted Meng Xuan's head, "Forget it, Shang Xiaoyu is not bad, I can rest assured that you can settle down." Hurry up and quit that policeman, your father's company won't let you go. ”

"Stop, don't say that." Meng Xuan immediately ended the topic, like a doorbell ringing in time for rain, Meng Xuan ran to open the door.

"It's too late." Meng Xuan said to Tian Yi.

Tian Yi ignored him, walked straight to Meng Shuhua who came out of the kitchen, and handed her the cake in his hand with a bright smile: "Auntie, congratulations on your recovery and discharge." ”

"Tian Yi has a heart."

The movement outside attracted the attention of the few people in the living room, and several people came over one after another. Shang Xiaoyu saw that Tian Yi had sent a cake to Meng Shuhua, and before she came, she clearly said that she would pick out a few gifts and bring them, but Meng Xuan said that she didn't let her buy it if she didn't need it, which made her embarrassed now.

Meng Xuan leaned against the door frame to take in the changes in Shang Xiaoyu's expression, and said, "Mom, let Xiao Yu draw you a portrait after eating in a while, haven't you always wanted to find someone to paint for you before, she is professional." ”

Shang Xiaoyu looked stunned, this was too unexpected.

"Really? That's great. Meng Shuhua said happily.

Shang Xiaoyu smiled bitterly, turned his face and grinned at Meng Xuan. The co-author asked her to come empty-handed for this, but she was not prepared at all, and if she didn't draw it well, it wouldn't be a slap in the face.

But......

"I'm sorry, Aunt Meng, I don't paint portraits. But if there's anything you want me to draw, I'll do my best to paint it. ”

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, no one expected that Shang Xiaoyu would open his mouth to refuse, and suddenly dismissed Meng Xuan's face, not to mention it, and made Meng Shuhua a little unable to get off the stage.

Shang Xiaoyu clenched her fists a little nervously, she naturally knew that it was rude for her to refuse, Meng Xuan would say this for her good, but she really couldn't agree to this request.

Since she woke up from a car accident, she had seen so many lives and deaths, and it was a kind of memorial to the dead she knew, and she chose to draw them. Over time, she got used to painting only portraits of people she saw who were dying.

If she painted Meng Shuhua this time, it would be nothing in the eyes of others, but in her own heart, it would be somewhat unlucky. Therefore, this painting must not be painted.

Meng Xuan saw her emotions, shook her hand, smiled at her to reassure her, and then said, "Then ask her to paint your garden for you, you are not the most beloved of your pots of flowers." ”

"Huh? Yes. Meng Shuhua didn't say anything, nodded and agreed.

Suddenly the mobile phone vibrated in the banquet, Su Yize looked at everyone present apologetically, and then picked up the phone and said, "What's the matter?" ”

I don't know what to say over there, Su Yize glanced at Tian Yi, and said to the other end of the phone: "Okay, I know." There was a hint of resentment and anger in his tone.

Hanging up the phone, Su Yize said helplessly: "Xue Fang's work efficiency is getting lower and lower, my car has been taken for maintenance, and I need a car tomorrow when I go to the factory, which makes it difficult for him to rent a car." ”

"Are you too demanding, I still believe in Xue Fang's ability." Su Jianye said.

Su Yize looked at Tian Yi and said, "When Xue Fang went to the car dealership, he also saw Zhang Mu, what's wrong with your car." ”

Tian Yi was obviously caught off guard, stunned for a moment, and said: "Well, there is something wrong with the car." ”

"The car should be repaired, Xue Fang said that he saw Zhang Mu at the car dealership two days ago." Su Yize said casually.

Tian Yi seemed to have something in his heart now, and said lightly: "I heard Zhang Mu say that he wanted to buy a car, and it seems that it is on the agenda." ”

Su Yize nodded and said, "If you need a recommendation, I can help him." ”

"I'm afraid Mr. Su's taste doesn't match Zhang Mu." Tian Yi laughed and teased.

"Okay, okay, let's eat, the two assistants are so energetic about the dinner at home." Su Jianye interrupted the two.

No matter how slow the banquet is, there is also an end to it, Wang Ma is cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks on the side, and Shang Xiaoyu has to go to the "examination room", and Meng Xuan behind her automatically blocks her distress signal and hides to the side to play games.

The words "Game over" on the monitor were presented in bloody red, Meng Xuan angrily took out the mobile phone that had vibrated for a long time, and wanted to scold Lao Hu when he connected it, but was preemptively attacked by the other party.

"Straight to the point!" Meng Xuan said angrily.

"The clothes examined during the autopsy have just been recovered by technology and the unknown objects that were turned over in his pants pocket have just been restored by technology, it should be a small card, but they are all soaked in the water, and they can only recover a little, you can see what it looks like." Old nonsense.

Meng Xuan clicked on the picture he received, and there were more than 90 percent blurred and soaked confetti on it, and the only thing with a little pattern was a blurred pattern in the upper left corner.

An outstretched semicircle with a faint cross in the middle.

"Little master, I haven't eaten this cake yet, do you want to cut it now?" Wang's mother came over with the cake sent by Tian Yi.

"No need, tomorrow my mother will cut it for her during afternoon tea." Meng Xuan said.

Wang Ma nodded in response, "Wait! Suddenly, he was stopped again.

Meng Xuan's eyes locked on the cake in her hand, he walked over and held up the cake and looked at it for a long time, and then compared it with the picture in his mobile phone.

"It's quite similar." Wang's mother looked at the slightly blurred lines on her mobile phone, and mistakenly thought it was an essay drawn by a child.

"yes, you think so." Meng Xuan's face was expressionless, "You go and put it away first." ”

Wang's mother took the cake to the kitchen, but Meng Xuan was still holding up her mobile phone.

Su Jianye and Su Yize were talking in the study, Meng Shuhua took Shang Xiaoyu to the balcony to sketch the potted plants she planted herself, and now Tian Yi is the only one drinking red wine in the garden and admiring the moon.

Meng Xuan took another goblet and went to the garden.

"Let's have a drink." Meng Xuan raised the wine glass in his hand.

"Didn't drink enough just now?" Tian Yi poured him wine.

Meng Xuan sat aside and asked, "You should also know about the factory fire six years ago." ”

"Didn't hear a satisfying story from my uncle?" Tian Yi asked rhetorically, as if he was still minding this matter.

Meng Xuan poured her a glass of wine and handed it to her with a big flattering smile, Tian Yi took the wine and went down the stairs, saying, "I actually know about the same as my uncle." Jiang Yang died, Jiang Yang used to be an employee of the Tian family, and he was fired for arson, that's all. ”

"Then he hasn't had any contact with the Tian family for so many years?" Meng Xuan asked.

Tian Yi shook his head.

The cold wind blew, Tian Yi shrunk his shoulders and said, "It's cold, let's go in." ”

Meng Xuan followed behind Tian Yi, but his expression was even more solemn.

If Jiang Yang didn't have anything to do with Tian, he didn't believe it, because the business card in his pocket that couldn't tell who it was Tian was printed with the logo that Tian Zhongren personally modified when Tian changed the sky six years ago.

At the same time, it also shows its ambition.

But Meng Xuan couldn't be sure whether Tian Yi was lying, or if there was really such a person he hadn't found yet.
