Chapter 141: Thank You, Little Friend
"Tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, isn't your Chinese tradition a day for family reunions?" Wei Churan sat down next to Wei Linlin, snatched the candy in her hand, provoked the little girl to glare at her, and then peeled another one and ate it herself.
"It's okay, my father has no siblings, and we're five of us, plus you, it's lively."
Shangguan Zi recalled that when she was about to go out just now, her grandmother stopped her and asked her to invite her friends to dinner tomorrow, and she asked the same thing, but her grandmother said that there were many people.
But she always felt that there must be something else to her grandmother's reason, but she didn't say anything more, and she didn't want to ask.
Hearing this, Wei Churan looked at her daughter who was shopping for snacks, "Baby, do you want to go?" ”
Wei Linlin put down the snacks in her hand, ran to Shangguan Zi, raised her head and asked with a smile, "Sister Shangguan, is there anything delicious?" ”
"Of course." Shangguan Zi held Wei Linlin's face, "Tomorrow my grandmother will cook herself, and only on Chinese New Year's Eve in a year, she will cook, and her cooking is delicious." ”
Wei Linlin swallowed her saliva when she heard it, but her little face was very serious, "Then we'll bother." ”
The three adults present were amused by her cute appearance, and Wei Churan teased her, "Baby, then you are responsible for thinking about what gift to give?" You can't be rude. ”
Wei Linlin stretched out her hand and patted her little chest, "It's wrapped around me, but a lot of things are not here." ”
"You think about it first, and then we'll go back and get it."
When Wei Yin came, she brought a few boxes of things, what clothes, jewelry, bags and the like, she newly designed, and it was absolutely no problem to take them out as gifts, and it was the only one.
Wei Linlin nodded heavily, "Okay." ”
At noon on Chinese New Year's Eve, Long Jing got out of the car, looked at the dark and messy storefront in front of him, frowned, and looked at Xiang Ju dissatisfied, "What's going on?" ”
"I don't know, I just found out that the woman named Wei Churan opened a dessert shop here." Xiang Ju's heart was cold, "Helper, you wait a minute. ”
He didn't expect this woman to be so famous, and her information appeared on the Internet as soon as he checked it, including the information and name of this store.
After speaking, he walked to the shop on the side to ask someone, and soon came back, "Helper, that person said that this store was deliberately set on fire, and Miss Wei seems to have moved to her boyfriend's house." ”
Before Long Jing could react, a crisp voice sounded, "Uncle, our store has been burned, and you can't come to visit until the New Year." ”
Following the sound, a little girl as cute as a porcelain doll was reflected in Long Jing's sharp and cold eyes, with big black eyes, thick eyelashes blinking, tied in a high ponytail, wearing a pink sweater skirt, and a small backpack on her shoulders.
Long Jing felt a little familiar, and when he thought about it, it was the little girl in those photos.
Standing next to her was not the Wei Churan he wanted to see, but a cold face, which she also appeared in the photo.
"Thank you, little friend."
Wei Linlin waved her little hand carelessly, "You're welcome, my dessert is delicious, suitable for all ages, you must come in the future, bye." ”
After speaking, he pulled Xu Zhiling to the door of the store, "Aunt Ling, hurry up, I have to go back to call Mommy, she will be in bed, it will not be good if she is late." ”
Xu Zhiling lowered her head and smiled at Wei Linlin, but when she raised her eyes, she looked at the two people opposite, although their evil qi had been subdued, she still felt it.
They must be people on the road, it is very problematic to come to the dessert shop, and the person who set the fire has not yet been determined who it is, so Xu Zhiling's defensive eyes are not concealed at all.
Until the door is opened and the door is closed.
Xiang Ju's tone was full of appreciation, "Helper, this woman's observation is really keen, and her guard is really strong, and her skills should be very good." ”
Long Jing agreed, but he didn't care, he paid more attention to what the little girl said, and the mommy she said should be the Wei Churan he was looking for.
"Helper, do you want to send someone to follow them?"
Long Jing retracted his thoughts and said in a deep voice, "I don't care what method you use, I want to know their addresses after dinner." ”
If he didn't come home for dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve, his father would be angry.
"Yes."
"Is there any news from country Z?" Long Jing asked as he walked to the car.
Xiang Ju replied, "Ms. Chedes is going home except for the company, but she is also checking on you." ”
Long Jing got into the car, closed his eyes, and that elegant and delicate face instantly appeared in his mind, check him, is it because he is the same as him because of curiosity?
He minded the hurt look in her eyes that day, why?
Xiang Ju also stopped talking and drove away.
Xu Zhiling put the things she needed into the car parked in the backyard, put Wei Linlin in the back seat, and left through the back door.
It was only a few hundred meters away that she found that someone was following, and the other party was very skilled, separated by seven or eight cars, but Xu Zhiling still found out.
The car that was going straight immediately turned a corner, and the car followed.
Xu Zhiling began to go around in circles, "Xiao Lin, call your mommy, we will wait for her at the door of the store." ”
"Okay." Wei Linlin immediately called her mommy with her watch, but she hit again and again, and only after hitting three times was picked up, a dissatisfied voice came, "Baby, what's wrong?" ”
"Mommy, it's time for you to wake up, Aunt Ling said she won't go back to pick you up, we'll wait for you at the door of the store."
Wei Churan was a little sober when she heard this, Ah Ling would not come back to pick her up for no reason, there must be a reason, either there is an emergency, or she can't go back, "Okay, I know." ”
Xu Zhiling raised her eyes and looked at Wei Linlin from the rearview mirror when she heard it, "Let's go shopping first." ”
"yes."
Xu Zhiling's car returned to the door of the store, and the people who followed immediately knew that the other party had noticed them, and left first after returning to Xiang Ju.
And Wei Churan also came, pulled the car door and sat in, "Ah Ling." ”
"Someone was following us just now."
Wei Churan's clear and clear eyes crossed the cold glow, nodded in understanding, and didn't ask any more, "Okay, let's go." ”
"Let's go." Wei Linlin applauded happily, and two pear vortices appeared on her cute and fair-skinned little face.
Wei Churan and Xu Zhiling glanced at each other in the rearview mirror, and after years of tacit understanding, they also knew what the other party wanted to express without saying something, and those people might be the ones who burned the shop.
When I came to the Shangguan family's house, I saw a Chinese-style mansion in the distance outside the walled iron gate.
The big iron gate opened, and there were flowers and plants planted on both sides of the road to enter, which were well cared for, and not all of them withered even in winter, especially the tenacious vines on the wall, which would be beautiful if it was summer.
The car stopped in front of the ancestral house, Shangguan Zi was already waiting, opened the rear seat door, untied the children's chair, and picked Wei Linlin up, "Ah Ran, Ah Ling." ”
"Sister Shangguan, why don't you call me?" Wei Linlin asked rhetorically with one hand around Shangguan Zi's neck.
"Xiao Lin, you treat it alone, special." Shangguan Zi saw such a lovely Wei Linlin, and couldn't help but kiss her white face like a bun.
Wei Linlin was immediately satisfied, and kissed her back.
Wei Churan said while taking out the gift from the back compartment, "Ah Zi, don't hold the baby, let her walk by herself." ”
"Yes, Sister Shangguan, I can go by myself."
Shangguan Zi didn't force it, put Wei Linlin down and held her hand, raised his eyes to see the gifts that Wei Churan and Xu Zhiling were carrying, not to mention more than a dozen bags, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "You guys are too exaggerated." ”
"Not exaggerating, it's rare." Wei Churan said very seriously that if she knew in advance that she was coming, she would also bring more gifts from country Z.
Shangguan Zi was speechless for a moment, "Go in." ”
The living room is still in Chinese style, and the whole set of furniture is mahogany, which is antique.
In addition to the old lady Shangguan, Mrs. Shangguan and Shangguan Yu who have been seen, there is also a middle-aged man, who does not need to guess that it is Shangguan Zi's father.
Unlike Shangguan Yu's bookish and gentle temperament, he is more aggressive, and his appearance is tougher, and time has not left too many traces on him, looking like Shangguan Yu's eldest brother.
The four people who were sitting and chatting also noticed that the guests were coming, and Shangguan Zi was the first to speak, "Grandma, Mom, Ama, they are here." ”
Wei Churan bowed slightly, "Old lady Shangguan, Mr. Shangguan, Mrs. Shangguan, hello, excuse me, this is a little bit of heart." ”
"If you have a heart, don't bother, there are many people, sit down." Old Madam Shangguan smiled and loved, and then beckoned to Wei Linlin, "Xiao Lin, we meet again, come over to grandma." ”
Wei Linlin looked at her mother, and when she saw her nodding, she walked over and said in a milky voice, "Grandma Shangguan is good." ”
"Okay, that's so cute." Old Madam Shangguan handed Wei Linlin a piece of candy, and the latter took it with a smile, "Thank you, Grandma Shangguan." ”
Shangguan Chong raised his eyes and looked at the two young women who had put down the gifts and sat down.
One is sweet and smiling, with clear and clean eyes, which is easy to make people feel good, and the other is cold and indifferent, giving people a capable feeling.
They are the good friends that my daughter has been talking about these months.
His mother and wife had seen each other before and mentioned it, saying that it was very good, and his son also praised it, which made him very curious.
Shangguan Zi introduced, "Dad, this is Wei Churan, this is Xu Zhiling." ”
"Hello uncle." Wei Churan and Xu Zhiling said in unison.
"Hello, I'm Shangguan Chong, Ah Zi's father."
Qin Yan spoke, "Ah Zi, do you want to take them to go shopping first, and I'll prepare the ingredients for making dumplings." ”
"Making dumplings?"
Wei Churan's doubts, the old lady of Shangguan opened her mouth to solve her doubts, "This is our custom in China, the meaning of reunion, Miss Wei is not from China, right?" ”
"Old lady Shangguan, it's okay to call me Aran, I'm from country Z, but my grandfather is, so I want to come to Beishi to have a look, it's very good here."
Her grandfather fell ill and died when she was three years old, and her memory of him is very vague, but she still vaguely remembers that when he was sick, he would tell himself about his hometown.
Old Madam Shangguan's eyes flashed, and she really couldn't help but ask, "Ah Ran, is your name Wei Churan?" ”
