Chapter 8: The Family Feast
Zuo Chen arranged a driver for Song Qingran to pick her up from school.
Song Qingran took Ye Tiantian to the school gate, saw the car at the school gate at a glance, thought about it, and really didn't worry about Ye Tiantian going alone, what if the gangster came back.
So I had to persuade Ye Tiantian to get in the car with her, and then send her home.
Song Qingran brought people to the car, and as soon as he pulled the car, before he could explain to the driver, he saw the big Buddha of Zuo Chen in the back seat.
The big Buddha seemed to be a little tired, supporting his head with one hand and pressing his fingers between his eyebrows.
When he heard the sound of the car door, he turned his head to look at it, and there was a moment of confusion in his eyes.
"School?"
"Hmm." Song Qingran answered, she really didn't expect Zuo Chen to come to pick her up.
Obviously, Ye Tiantian behind him seemed to lean towards her.
Song Qingran saw that Zuo Chen was in the car, so he must have asked him instead of the driver.
Song Qingran asked: "I have a classmate who didn't come to pick her up at home, can you send her back?"
Zuo Chen chuckled, "You can make your own decisions about this kind of thing in the future, you don't need to ask me." ”
Song Qingran was relieved, and pulled Ye Tiantian to get into the car, only to find out that Ye Tiantian had buried almost her entire face behind her.
"Tilt, what's wrong?"
Ye Tiantian followed behind Song Qingran, she quietly glanced up at Zuo Chen, didn't say anything, lowered her head again, and shook her head at Song Qingran.
Song Qingran asked her to sit next to her, and the three of them sat in the back, Zuo Chen saw the girl behind her clearly, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he didn't say anything when he saw Ye Tiantian lowering his head and not daring to look at him.
Zuo Chen chuckled, "Why didn't anyone pick up Miss Ye?" ”
Ye Tiantian saw that he had already recognized him, and knew that he couldn't hide, so he raised his head generously and smiled at Zuo Chen with his standard eight teeth.
"Hello President Zuo, please send me back."
Song Qingran, "......"
What's going on?!
These two people know each other?
Her eyes turned back and forth on the two of them, neither of them had any intention of opening their mouths to explain, Song Qingran was a little depressed, but she couldn't ask in person, so she could only be speechless all the way.
Zuo Chen didn't speak again after asking that sentence, leaned on the car and closed his eyes to recuperate, Ye Tiantian glanced at Zuo Chen with some grievances, and stopped talking.
Song Qingran saw Ye Tiantian quietly stretch out his hand and write a "I'm sorry" on her hand.
Song Qingran, "......"
I'm sorry what?
She glanced at Ye Tiantian suspiciously, and the latter opened his mouth and silently uttered a few words-paralyzed face.
Obviously talking about Zuo Chen.
Song Qingran almost couldn't hold back her laughter, Ye Tiantian was scared to death by her, and subconsciously reached out to cover her mouth, but the action was too big and woke up Zuo Chen.
Ye Tiantian was silently threatened by the "facial paralysis" in her mouth again, and lowered his head a little aggrieved.
Zuo Chen looked at Song Qingran's face that was red from holding back laughter, and shook his head helplessly.
The driver stopped according to the position Ye Tiantian said, and before leaving, Ye Tiantian said goodbye to Song Qingran, and then obediently greeted Zuo Chen: "Mr. Zuo, goodbye." ”
In fact, I complained crazy in my heart, and I will never see you again!
Zuo Chen just waved his hand indifferently, and Ye Tiantian tightened his schoolbag and ran away.
Sending Ye Tilt away, Song Qingran was still a little confused, she looked at Zuo Chen, and couldn't help asking: "Do you know Tilt?" ”
Zuo Chen said: "I have met before, and I only have some business dealings with her family's business. ”
He explained in some detail, as if Song Qingran intended to inquire about something, Song Qingran hurriedly explained, "I didn't want to inquire about anything, it's just that I'm a little curious." ”
Ye Tiantian was dressed up, and he didn't look like he would know a big president like Zuo Chen.
Zuo Chen guessed Song Qingran's doubts and took the initiative to explain, "Ye Tiantian is the eldest lady of the Ye family, Huayang and the Ye family have some business dealings, I once saw her at the banquet. ”
Zuo Chen hid the Ye family as a family member, in fact, he had the idea of marrying Ye Tiantian to him, not to mention that he refused in person, and even Ye Tiantian refused completely.
Song Qingran is still digesting this reality, she has heard of the Ye family, and she is also one of the top wealthy nobles, how can Ye Tiantian be dressed like that, and still surrounded by others?
Seeing that she didn't speak, Zuo Chen turned his head and asked, "What's wrong?" What else would you like to ask? ”
Song Qingran found that Zuo Chen seemed to have the ability to perceive people's hearts, she said: "Today, when I saw Ye Tiantian, she was surrounded by gangsters, and I rescued her, but I was worried that she would have another accident, so I took the initiative to send her home."
In this way, it can be regarded as explaining the acquaintance process between her and Ye Tiantian.
Zuo Chen didn't expect the process to be a little thrilling and complicated, and said with a smile: "In this way, I will have to match Mrs. Zuo with some bodyguards when I go out in the future, so that Mrs. Zuo can save the beauty heroically."
Song Qingran snorted slightly, "I just can't figure it out, how could she, an eldest lady, get into trouble with those people?" And...... Her address ......"
Ye Tianting's drop-off location is a little out of the village and behind the store, and he can't figure out the direction, when he first heard it, Song Qingran also asked, how can a girl live in that kind of place, Ye Tiantian said that the family is poor.
Hehe!
Little liar!
"She came back from abroad without permission, and her family doesn't know about it."
When Zuo Chen said a word, Song Qingran was shocked.
This girl is bold enough to transfer back from abroad without authorization, and hide it from her family.
Wait a minute......
She saw Zuo Chen today, and he has a connection with the Ye family......
Wouldn't that leaf tilt be exposed?!
No wonder that little girl hid vigorously when she saw Zuo Chen!
Song Qingran felt that he had ruined other people's affairs, and turned his head to look at Zuo Chen, who had a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Don't worry, I won't meddle in my affairs." ”
Song Qingran, "......"
I really know how to read minds!
Since Zuo Chen promised, Song Qingran was relieved, she said "thank you" softly, and then turned her head to look out the window.
Suddenly, I realized that this didn't seem to be the way back to Shallow Bay.
She looked at Zuo Chen suspiciously, "This is not the way home, right?" ”
"Oh, no," Zuo Chen said with a straight look as if he had just woken up from a dream, "Mrs. Zuo, tonight, we have to go back to the old house for dinner and meet our grandmother, is it okay?" ”
Song Qingran was stunned, do you want to see your parents?
When she got married, she was too impulsive, and the original steps were skipped, so that she thought that she would be fine if she got the certificate, but she neglected to meet her parents.
She has no relatives on her side, but there are still on Zuo Chen's side.
She took a deep breath, "Okay. Is there anything I need to prepare? ”
"No, don't panic, it's just that my grandmother knows that I'm married and wants to meet my granddaughter-in-law, so let me take it back for a meal."
Song Qingran was still a little nervous in his heart.
The car drove smoothly all the way to the Zuo family's old house, and when it stopped, Zuo Chen got out of the car first, then opened the car door for her and stretched out his hand to her.
Song Qingran saw that there were servants standing at the entrance of the old mansion looking this way, all of them with smiles on their faces.
Song Qingran was a little embarrassed, and he couldn't save Zuo Chen's face, so he could only stretch out his hand and go in with him with his head down.
"The young master is back, the old lady said that the young master brought the young lady back today, let us prepare a lot of delicious food, the young master will eat more later."
Aunt Zhong is the old man of the Zuo family, and Zuo Chen was taken care of by Aunt Zhong when he was young.
Zuo Chen greeted her with a smile, "Aunt Zhong's craftsmanship is my favorite, you know." ”
"Hey, if the young master likes it, it's fine."
Aunt Zhong took Zuo Chen's clothes when she entered the door, Song Qingran had been following beside her, she could feel that the Zuo family was in harmony up and down, and even loved Zuo Chen, in short, the atmosphere at home was very good.
Song Qingran smiled unconsciously.
"The young lady looks so good when she smiles."
The tension in Song Qingran's heart, who was praised, was relieved, and the smile became more and more obvious.
"Aunt Zhong, where's grandma?"
"Here's it."
Zuo Chen's voice landed, and someone answered not far away, and his voice was very loud.
Song Qingran looked for prestige, and the old lady was wearing a red dress and was walking this way.
The old lady is very well maintained, her body is also very healthy, and she walks like the wind on the soles of her feet.
"You kid, you don't tell your family about such a big thing when you get married, if I don't hear the wind and ask, when are you going to hide it from me?"
The words were said to Zuo Chen, but the old lady's gaze kept rolling on Song Qingran.
Zuo Chen squeezed her hand and signaled her not to be nervous.
"Grandma, your granddaughter-in-law is thin-skinned, don't scare her."
Song Qingran was actually not so nervous anymore, the enthusiasm of the servants of the Zuo family dispelled a large part of her concerns, plus the old lady's kind face was not as terrible as she imagined.
She bowed to the old lady, "Hello grandma." ”
The attitude is neither humble nor arrogant, the eyes are clear, and the corners of the mouth are just right.
The old lady nodded with satisfaction, "Sit down quickly and let grandma see." ”
The three of them sat down on the sofa, Aunt Zhong brought some fruits and desserts up, and the old lady personally took a piece and handed it to Song Qingran, "Daughter-in-law granddaughter, try it, your Aunt Zhong's skills are good, Chen'er has liked to eat her cooking since she was a child." ”
Song Qingran took it, "Thank you, grandma." ”
The old lady turned her head and began to blame Zuo Chen, "What are you hiding such a good granddaughter-in-law, bring it over to me earlier, maybe you can bring it home sooner." ”
Song Qingran was almost choked, they were fast enough, they had known each other for less than two days, and they got married directly.
Obviously, the old lady didn't know the middle details, and Zuo Chen didn't plan to explain, but just smiled and said: "Yes, yes, yes, it's my fault, I'm busy with work, and I forgot about it."
Song Qingran naturally couldn't watch Zuo Chen take the blame, so he changed the topic with a smile.
"Grandma, I came in a hurry this time, I didn't bring you a gift, I'll make it up for you next time."
"No, no, grandma doesn't lack anything, it's just that there is no one to chat, if the granddaughter-in-law is free in the future, just accompany me and me, an old man."
"Definitely."
The three chatted for a while before dinner, and the old lady asked Song Qingran about her family situation, and Song Qingran told the truth that her parents died in an accident when she was eighteen years old, and she is now alone at home. The old lady's compassion was overflowing, and her eyes were overflowing with love when she looked at her.
When she arrived at the dinner table, she was vigorously serving her vegetables, Song Qingran couldn't bear to refuse the old lady's kindness, as long as she sandwiched it, she tried hard to eat, and her stomach was about to burst.
Zuo Chen couldn't stand it anymore, "Grandma, Qingran's year's worth of food is almost finished by you." ”
The old lady glanced at him angrily, "My daughter-in-law doesn't hurt herself, waiting for others to hurt!" You see that your daughter-in-law is thin, and it hurts to look at it. ”
Zuo Chen, "......"
Now it's okay, I forgot my grandson when I have a granddaughter-in-law, I think that at the beginning, he had grandma's love as soon as he got home, although occasionally he felt that this love was too heavy, and he would be bored, but now, he didn't want grandma to give it.
Zuo Chen completely fell out of favor now.
He smiled and shook his head, looking at the scene of the two getting along, his heart was satisfied.
After the meal, the old lady took Song Qingran upstairs and went to her room.
He took out a pear blossom wooden box from the cabinet and opened it full of expensive jewelry.
"These are grandmother's gifts to her granddaughter-in-law, you accept them."
Song Qingran looked at the contents of this box, although there were not many, but all of them were good things of great value, and a few were even antiques.
Song Qingran didn't dare to accept it, and the old lady was not happy, "Don't you like it?" The jewelry is a bit old, but it's all good......"
"No, grandma," Song Qingran interrupted her helplessly, "It's that these are too valuable, and Qingran doesn't dare to accept them." ”
"If there is anything you dare not accept, these things are prepared for Chen'er's daughter-in-law, and if he marries you, you can put it away."
