One hundred and sixty-one chapters
Cheng Nan was slightly stunned, even if he was dumb, he could hear that Lan Tianxing didn't take their sister and brother seriously, and the Rose King turned a blind eye to Cheng Xinlan and didn't respect her as a future wife.
He still knows Lan Tianxing's character very well, so he doesn't want to do it thanklessly, but he can't stop the Cheng family's verbal criticism, so he can only reluctantly take this trip.
"Sister Mei, I've heard of the name for a long time!" Cheng Xinlan bowed slightly to the Rose King, and asked with a smile, "Can you take the liberty of asking, Tianxing him... Who did you go for a walk? ”。
The question is very acute, since the Rose King does not recognize her identity as a 'lady', and she cannot so easily identify with other women to replace herself, otherwise wouldn't it be meaningless for her to come back at this time?
"It's his business who Tianxing wants to accompany and who he is with, and outsiders are not suitable to ask more!" The Rose King praised Cheng Xinlan, but he just smiled faintly, "I'm just an old mother, and I don't know what big or small names are." If you are not in a hurry, you can wait slowly, and the banquet will start at eight o'clock, and you can just stay for a meal...".
These words seem to be that Cheng Nan's sisters and brothers are here to eat, and the Cheng family has no face and status here at all. Even if Cheng Xinlan can't be the young lady of the Lan family, at least she still has the identity of the eldest lady of the Cheng family, how can she say that she shouldn't be damaged like this, right?
Cheng Nan just had a wry smile on his face when he heard it, and he didn't have half a sentence that he wanted to argue or vent his dissatisfaction. With such a character, after encountering problems, he will first examine whether he is wrong, instead of putting the responsibility on others and complaining, of course, he will not say anything to intensify the conflict at this time.
Cheng Xinlan couldn't help frowning when she looked at Cheng Nan's cowardly expression, and reminded the Rose King, "Sister Mei, the Cheng family and the Lan family have been friends for generations, and Tianxing and I have also been childhood sweethearts since childhood, even if they are just friends... He should also meet with me and explain our affairs to me, okay? ”。
"Well, that's what I said..."The Rose King agreed with this proposal, and instructed Yongliu, "Go and look for the eldest young master in the garden, and if you find it, say that a friend has come to visit him and his wife, and let him come back to meet him...".
"Yes!" When Yongliu turned around and walked out of the hall, she glanced at Cheng Xinlan twice, and no one could bear such a snarky attitude of the Rose King under normal circumstances. This eldest lady of the Cheng family can still fight so calmly, and it seems that she is by no means as weak and deceitful as she appears on the surface.
Lan Tianxing really gave the Rose King a lot of face, and entered the living room ten minutes later. But it didn't come alone, but came in with Leng Chenmeng hand in hand, and it seemed that he was still chatting when he entered the door. His tender gaze stopped at Chenmeng, and that kind of tenderness only existed for her, and everything else seemed to be completely ignored.
"Young Master! Oh... Madam..."Cheng Nan consciously stood up and said hello, and introduced, "This is my sister, she... It's back...".
"Oh, I heard that..."Lan Tianxing was also slightly stunned when he saw Cheng Xinlan, this eldest lady of the Cheng family has changed a lot compared to when she disappeared fifteen years ago. Lan Xin once said that they would meet, and also said that Lan Tianxing might change his mind after meeting, and it seems that this proposal has a basis to be found.
Cheng Xinlan was standing there half-shyly and half-bowed at this time, with a slight smile on a very beautiful face, very gorgeous and moving.
There are many beauties in the world, or light as the wind swinging green willows, or as gorgeous as the national color and heavenly fragrance, and the swallow is thin and fat, but there are not many beauties who can be compared with the cold dust dream. And Cheng Xinlan in front of her stood in front of Chenmeng, and did not turn into dust in an instant.
But what surprised Tianxing was not her amazing beauty, but that she looked so much like one of his old friends before. It's just that the story has been sealed by a long memory, leaving only a vague impression.
Men are amorous and lustful, even if they can't completely snatch Lan Tianxing back with this unparalleled beauty, and they can be the same as Leng Chenmeng, they can always be Mrs. Lan, this grasp Cheng Xinlan is still confident.
Seeing Lan Tianxing's expression, the Rose King deliberately said 'um' twice, and reminded, "Young Master, do you want to have a cup of tea before chatting with your friends?" ”。
"Okay... What about Madame's 'green snail'? Are you ready, it can't be too cold or too hot..."Lan Tianxing carefully helped Chenmeng to sit down on the rattan chair, and didn't forget to tell Yongliu, "Have the roses been released?" Just one flower, two ladies will taste bitter...".
What a man who loves his wife! Cheng Xinlan listened to a very strange smile on her face, and then took the cup in Yongliu's hand and handed it to Lan Tianxing, and said with a smile, "Tianxing, I'm back!" ”。
Lan Tianxing is a 'god' in the eyes of the clansmen, and he should be accompanied by a gentle and touching woman like Cheng Xinlan, and at this time, Leng Chenmeng's haggard and stupid appearance can no longer compete with her, and she has won without suspense in this battle for her husband.
Chenmeng leaned on the back of the chair and looked at Cheng Xinlan curiously, probably thinking that she was very beautiful and even smiled at her.
Lan Tianxing was originally coaxing Chenmeng to drink tea tenderly and sweetly, but when he turned to look at Cheng Xinlan, the smile on his face faded a lot, and he reminded very untactfully, "My wife is afraid of seeing people, Miss Cheng, please sit down...".
'Miss Cheng'? That's a very raw title!
Cheng Xinlan stood awkwardly with the cup, and the smile on her face stiffened a little, but she quickly said very gently, "I have also heard about Madame's illness, and I will stay with you to take care of her." Madame will be fine soon...".
This comforting sentence is very good, not only does not blame Lan Tianxing for not keeping the marriage contract and empathizing with him, but also takes the initiative to take care of Chenmeng to share his worries, such a virtuous and virtuous, tolerant and generous woman is indeed very suitable to be the patriarch's wife of the Lan clan.
Although Cheng Nan felt that it was not appropriate to say these things now, there was no reason to refute it, if Lan Tianxing was moved by Cheng Xinlan's beauty, this was also a good opportunity to change the status quo, he could abide by the marriage contract and marry Cheng Xinlan to live, and then give Leng Chenmeng a false title of Mrs. Lan as a comfort, which is also a good way to have the best of both worlds.
"Miss Cheng is really virtuous..."The Rose King said lukewarmly, "Master Lan, you... What a blessing! ”。
Lan Tianxing didn't admit it at all, and then said with a smile, "Wife, are you jealous again?" Meng'er is young and needs to be taken care of, and it's normal for me to love her a little more, but don't worry, our family is still in your hands, and it's up to you who lets you go! Just don't kick me out...".
This sentence is not just not euphemistic but more straightforward, and the Rose King is quite satisfied and sneered, "Coax me again?" But even if you have a conscience, you haven't forgotten my yellow-faced woman...".
"How dare you? Beauty can't be provoked..."Lan Tianxing replied with a slight point, "Who dares to offend Sister Mei, you don't know how to die!" ”。
This sentence is not only straightforward, but also a reminder, why is Lan Tianxing so reluctant to Cheng Xinlan instead of having a little heartbeat? Even if the marriage contract between them is annulled, he should have some basic respect for the guests, right?
Chenmeng just took a sip of tea, probably felt hot, and spit it out directly, Tianxing took a tissue to wipe her and coaxed her in a soft voice like no one next to her, "I don't like this, how about replacing it with 'Fog Hidden Red Sleeves'?" Do you still put roses, and which color do you want? ”。
Cheng Nan could only stand up awkwardly and wanted to say goodbye when he saw this scene, the young master was very busy, busy taking care of his wife, and had no time to meet guests for the time being, so he didn't want to be bored here.
"Young Master, we are still..."Cheng Nan just said half a sentence, Cheng Xinlan couldn't help but be a little angry when she was snubbed like this, "Anan, our Cheng clan is so insignificant in the eyes of Young Master Lan, in this case, why did Dad Lan decide on this in the first place?" ”。
Fifteen years ago, Cheng Nan was only nine years old, how did he know why, it was very obvious that this question was not asking him.
Fifteen years ago, Cheng Xinlan was ten years old, and Lan Tianxing was only fifteen years old, and they were all children according to their age. These decisions are made between fathers that are not consulted with them, let alone made according to their wishes.
"Oh... I..."Cheng Nan was asked, and hesitated twice before answering, "I... I don't know? The new brother can't tell the story of the previous generation. Besides, after so many years, those pedantic ideas should have been changed a long time ago...".
Cheng Xinlan didn't wait for his personal opinion to finish, Liu Mei frowned and asked Lan Tianxing very unhappily, "Young Master Lan, do you think so too?" ”。
