"It's me who didn't do a good job, is there anything I can make up for?"

Sheng Jintian could see from the afterglow that she seemed to be really angry.

Xia Xincheng didn't answer his words, just looked at the name on the invitation, she didn't seem to know it.

She and Sheng Jintian don't have any mutual friends, if it's a classmate or teacher at school, shouldn't they give it to her directly?

Seeing that she didn't speak, Sheng Jintian took the initiative to find a word: "It's Mr. Wang's son and daughter who are engaged." ”

After he finished speaking, Xia Xincheng turned his head sharply, and he knew that this girl's brain was not good.

"They are engaged to a woman and a man, and the day they choose is the same day."

Xia Xincheng sighed: "It's the old Wang next door to the hospital." ”

"Although he is retired, he is also a very easy-going old man, you can call him sir."

The two came to a mountain villa on the outskirts of the city, where the layout was antique, and it felt like a Jiangnan mansion, and the engagement banquet was held here.

Wang Linhai's son is studying architectural design, this villa was originally a wasteland, bought it and handed it over to his son, and finally built an ancient courtyard, which has a rockery corridor, a garden lake, and some small animals in the backyard.

Sheng Jintian told her that Wang Linhai's two sons and daughters have settled overseas, and this house is for the elderly to care for the elderly, and Wang Linhai has made a will, and when he and his wife have passed away, this house will be transformed into a Chinese culture museum to inherit national culture for free.

There are two staff members at the door, a man and a woman, who can let guests in after confirming the invitation.

"Isn't it rude that I didn't prepare gifts or money for the engagement party?" Xia Xincheng thought that she was coming to participate as a female companion.

"The old gentleman explained that he does not accept any gifts and gift money, everyone just comes to get together."

Xia Xincheng nodded, no wonder Wang Linhai's prestige was so high.

There were about fifty or sixty guests, a little less than she had imagined, and with his status, there should be more people coming.

"Senior brother, you're here."

He Luobin walked over in a casual jacket, followed by a woman in her forties.

"Auntie is good, senior brother is good."

Liang Qianyun wore a dark blue cheongsam made of flannel fabric, a beige wool shawl on the outside, and a diamond necklace around her neck.

Although she is dressed very luxuriously, Liang Qianyun looks a little bookish and elegant.

"It's the first time I've seen you back home, Jintian."

"I've visited you in the house before, and it's the first time I've seen you since you weren't there."

Sheng Jintian replied politely.

Liang Qianyun glared at He Luobin sideways: "I just accompanied the master out that day and you came, and Luobin didn't say anything to you in advance, which is very rude." ”

He Luobin laughed on the side, it was because his family was not there that Sheng Jintian came, and he left after sitting for less than five minutes.

There is no way, his family is too enthusiastic, and Sheng Jintian's temperament is very bland, so he can't get along.

But his mother likes Sheng Jintian very much, and has always wanted to introduce the girl of the family to him as a girlfriend, He Luobin was once forced to be anxious, and said vaguely that Sheng Jintian may not like girls.

I thought that Liang Qianyun would break this thought, but I didn't expect her to say: "Then introduce him to a boy." ”

Later, after Sheng Jintian learned about it, he turned their home into a high-risk area, even if he pulled him over by rubbing the car, it was difficult to succeed.

Sheng Jintian and Liang Qianyun said a few polite words, and when a guest came to greet her, Sheng Jintian took Xia Xincheng to the side.

"Does Director He also know Mr. Wang?"

"The old gentleman is Aunt Liang's uncle."

"Aunt Liang looks quite young." At that time, when Sheng Jintian called her aunt, she was still a little surprised.

"Pay more attention to maintenance."

Sheng Jintian took Xia Xincheng to greet Wang Linhai and saw Dean Ouyang.

Wang Linhai's daughter-in-law is a British girl, the two of them studied at Imperial College, their son-in-law is Singaporean-Chinese, and the two graduated from Yale University. So after getting married, the son and daughter-in-law lived in London, and the daughter and son-in-law settled in Los Angeles.

Mr. Wang and his wife thought that their children were far away, so they planned to hold the engagement banquet in China.

The engagement ceremony was simple and warm, the two couples shared their feelings for each other, Wang Linhai told some interesting stories about raising children, and everyone felt the love and concern of parents for their children.

The banquet chose Chinese food, the table was a table of two to six people, Xia Xincheng and Sheng Jintian sat at a two-person table, and she found that the guests who came were arranged according to their relationship with each other, so as to avoid embarrassment with people who did not know each other.

After the meal, there is entertainment and exchange time, and there is a dinner in the evening, and the guests do not leave, in fact, most of the guests who come here are people with identity or connections, and they can make friends and meet people in need here.

I thought that Sheng Jintian would have a lot of people to socialize, but I never thought that today he was idle and took Xia Xincheng to wander around the yard.

"Doctor Sheng, do you know anyone who came today?"

"I'm not here to entertain you."

Xia Xincheng looked puzzled, Sheng Jintian walked to a pavilion on a rockery, and the two sat down.

"Do you like a yard like this?"

"Well, if it's a place to play and vacation, it feels great, but if it's a place to live, I think it's too big."

"Don't like big yards?"

"It's empty, and it's inexplicably empty in my heart." After speaking, she looked at Sheng Jintian, "I like the apartment now, if I have money in the future, can Dr. Sheng sell it to me?" ”

Sheng Jintian was a little surprised, he didn't expect Xia Xincheng to like the apartment so much, he wanted to choose a courtyard to send her, so that he was not afraid of her leaving.

He looked at the crescent lake in the courtyard and was slightly distracted.

He wanted to hide her, no matter where she was in the future, where she was home, and he would always have a home to return to.

Xia Xincheng climbed on the carved wooden fence and looked at the sky in a daze, the cool breeze blew, a thin raindrop hit, and after a while, the eaves began to drip down the intermittent waterline.

"Is it cold?" Sheng Jintian asked.

Xia Xincheng shook his head: "Fortunately, this coat is quite warm." ”

"It's almost time, let's go to the banquet hall."

The stone steps of the pavilion were already wet with rain, Sheng Jintian stretched out his hand to her, Xia Xincheng hesitated for a moment, isn't this holding hands?

No, just go down the stairs, Dr. Sheng is a very polite person, don't think about it.

She placed her hand in his palm, and the other hand-held skirt slowly walked down.

When she reached the cloister, she let go of his hand slightly, only to find that he hadn't.

The two of them held each other so gently, strolling in the ancient corridor, going up the steps around the corner, he helped Xia Xincheng to go up, He Luobin suddenly appeared, startling both of them, Xia Xincheng hurriedly withdrew his hand.

Sheng Jintian looked at He Luobin with a cold face.

He Luobin knew that the atmosphere between the two of them was not ordinary just now, and he deliberately did so: "Senior brother, I just saw the boss of BK Airlines, you pay attention." ”
