Chapter 17: The Birthday Feast
This time, Su Xiyan patted her head as if she had just woken up from a dream, "I actually forgot ......"
Shen Mochen squinted at the little woman next to him, his peach blossom eyes were full of disdain, and his words were very sarcastic.
"You forgot? You are really a busy person now, you can even forget your grandmother's 70th birthday, and after a while, will you forget that I am your husband? ”
Su Xiyan didn't want to listen to his cynicism here, she was full of regret now, she didn't even prepare a gift, and she didn't know if it was too late to buy it now.
"Zhou Rang, stop the car in front, I'll go buy a gift for grandma."
Zhou Rang smiled a little embarrassedly, "The president has prepared everything, and the gifts are ready, so you can sit with peace of mind, madam." ”
Of course Su Xiyan was unwilling, "He is him, I am me, they are all a heart, I want to personally pick a gift for grandma and park." ”
She looked at Zhou Rang with stubborn eyes, Zhou Rang had no choice but to look at Shen Mochen for help, after all, Shen Mochen was his boss, and he could only listen to what Shen Mochen said.
Shen Mochen stared at Su Xiyan with a dark face, "Su Xiyan, do you like to go against me so much?" ”
Su Xiyan turned her head to look at him helplessly, "I'm not against you, I just want to buy a gift for my grandmother in person, that's all, if you think too much, I can't help it." ”
Su Xiyan was also speechless for him, and he didn't know what he had in his head all day long, the whole person was like a paranoid, unreasonable!
Suddenly, a strong force dragged her into Shen Mochen's arms, and Su Xiyan screamed in fright.
Shen Mochen imprisoned her in his arms, and looked down condescendingly at the panicked appearance of the woman in his arms.
"Then explain to me, why did you ask Zhou Rang for Jiang Xingchen's phone number? Are you already hungry and thirsty like this? Even my friends are ready to do it? ”
Su Xiyan lay on Shen Mochen's lap in shock, looking at Shen Mochen with wide eyes, her pink lips opened slightly because of fright, and her beautiful little face was full of frightened expressions.
After listening to what Shen Mochen said, the panic in her eyes was gradually replaced by an unbelievable look, she didn't expect Shen Mochen to say such a thing, she really couldn't believe it.
"Shen Mochen! What kind of person am I in your heart? Have you always thought I was a watery poplar woman? ”
"Or else?"
Shen Mochen didn't think about it and asked directly.
Su Xiyan struggled to escape from his arms, "Shen Mochen, I don't want to talk nonsense with people like you, if you want to know what I am doing with Jiang Xingchen's phone, you can ask him directly, instead of running here to question me, if you are really good brothers, you can go directly and ask him what's wrong?" You're too scared to ask. ”
Shen Mochen didn't expect this woman to be so sharp-toothed, he looked at Su Xiyan's eyes even more unkindly, clenched his back molars tightly, and his cheeks trembled slightly because of anger.
"You, like Jiang Xingchen, are not a good thing, open the door, I want to get off!"
Su Xiyan pushed the cart door hard, and kicked it directly in anger.
Although Shen Mochen didn't understand what she meant, but in this situation, they still had something to do, and he didn't want to worry about anything more with this woman, so he could only relax first.
"Stop, let her go, you only have twenty minutes, as soon as the time passes, you will go to the old house by yourself, and when the time comes, it will be a fool of you, and it will be your grandmother's person who loses it."
"Wait for me for twenty minutes, and I'll be back."
With that, Su Xiyan pushed the car door and got out of the car.
She actually hadn't thought about what to buy for Zhou Xueshan in her heart, after all, she didn't have much money in her wallet, Zhou Xueshan's food and clothing were all of the best, and there was no shortage of other things around her.
But no matter how you say it, it's always a heart.
Thinking while walking, Su Xiyan unconsciously walked to the door of a jewelry store and looked at the logo on it, which can be regarded as a relatively low-key and niche brand, but the grade is also extremely high.
After thinking about it, Su Xiyan still walked in with steps.
"Hello, miss, what do you need?"
Su Xiyan walked to the counter and carefully looked at the delicate tidying up in the window, "I want to pick up the pieces and give them to the old man for his birthday." ”
"Do you wish the elderly a birthday? Then this one, a set of newly designed cleaning up our home, you see, full of dissatisfaction. ”
The cabinet sister on the side smiled and picked out a set of jewelry from inside.
A necklace and a pair of earrings, matching, are inlaid with jadeite and jade stones of full color.
The color is full of turquoise, and the bright light shines on it, as if it is about to pour out of the water.
Su Xiyan was also very satisfied with this set, she had already thought of Zhou Xueshan's appearance when she wore it, it was definitely very suitable for her.
She looked at the price of the tag on it, it was a bit out of her budget, her savings were running out, and if she bought this set of jewelry, her wallet would really be empty.
"Hello, can this set of jewelry be discounted? Can I get a discount? ”
"Miss, the price of our family is already very favorable, and our brand is also very famous, it is not lost to the L family and the K family, if you send this set of jewelry to the old man, she will definitely like it."
Su Xiyan was also very satisfied with this set of jewelry, but the price was a little dissuading her.
She just wanted to shake her head, thinking that she would go shopping again and see if there was anything more suitable.
But suddenly remembered that Shen Mochen said that he would only give her twenty minutes, and now that more than half of the time has passed, it will be too late if she doesn't hurry up.
She had no choice but to be ruthless, took out the card from her bag in distress, and handed it to the counter lady tremblingly, "Swipe the card, I'm in a hurry, hurry up." ”
"Okay, wait a minute, I'll wrap it up for you."
Looking at the neat movements of the counter lady when she swiped the card, Su Xiyan's heart was dripping blood, now it's okay, she can only drink the northwest wind.
"Miss, this is the invoice, you take it, the jewelry has been packed for you."
Su Xiyan took the bag from the cabinet sister, took out her mobile phone and looked at the time, there were only a few minutes left before twenty minutes, and she hurriedly ran out.
In the car, Shen Mochen also quietly looked at the watch in his hand, looked at the minute hand, and the second hand rotated in circles.
The long eyelashes obscured the look in his eyes, making it difficult to see what he was thinking.
Seeing that twenty minutes were about to arrive, Shen Mochen raised his head, looked out of the car window, and saw Su Xiyan running hard at a glance.
"Whew, it's okay, it's time to catch up."
"Twenty minutes, good, Zhou Rang, drive."
Su Xiyan looked at the person next to her angrily, if she wasn't afraid of delaying her grandmother's birthday, she wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to him for twenty minutes.
It's like a monkey!
Along the way, Su Xiyan sat tightly against the car door on her side, far away from Shen Mochen, holding the jewelry in her arms tightly with both hands.
After arriving at the Shen family's old house, Shen Mochen asked Zhou Rang to drive the car into the back door, not through the front door.
Su Xiyan also felt that it was better to enter through the back door, after all, the front door should be full of guests who had already arrived, and it was not good for her to appear in front of everyone.
The car slowly stopped, and Su Xiyan came out of the back door with a paper bag.
The housekeeper had been waiting at the back door for a long time at this time, and after seeing the figures of Shen Mochen and Su Xiyan, he hurriedly greeted him.
"Young master, young lady, you are here, the old lady has been waiting for a long time."
Su Xiyan was very annoyed, she blamed her, she accidentally forgot her grandmother's birthday, and wasted so much time.
"Where's Grandma?"
"The old lady is on the second floor, ouch, young lady, why didn't you change your dress? Fortunately, fortunately, the young master had the foresight to help me prepare a set of evening dresses for you, hurry up and change into them! ”
Su Xiyan lowered her head embarrassedly, feeling even more guilty, blaming her for causing so much trouble to everyone.
"Wait a minute, where's Grandma? I gave the gift to my grandmother and went to change it. ”
Seeing that Su Xiyan was so insistent, the housekeeper could only reluctantly agree, "Okay, young lady, you can follow me." ”
Shen Mochen also walked in.
After going up to the second floor, the housekeeper took Su Xiyan to find Zhou Xueshan.
"Xiyan, are you here? Why didn't you change your clothes? ”
Su Xiyan hurriedly handed the paper bag he was carrying to Zhou Xueshan, "Grandma, I'm sorry, I've been so busy lately that I forgot about your seventieth birthday, this is the gift I picked for you, see if you like it or not." ”
Zhou Xueshan looked at the well-behaved person in front of him with satisfaction, and smiled on his wrinkled face.
"You kid, come on, what else do you bring, you and Mo Chen can prepare a gift, and one for each person, they are all rusty."
Although he said that, Zhou Xueshan still happily accepted Su Xiyan's gift, opened it and looked at it, which was completely in line with his taste.
"It's so good-looking, Xiyan, your vision is really good, come, put it on for grandma."
Su Xiyan was much more relieved to see her so satisfied, "Grandma, it's good if you're satisfied, come, I'll put it on for you." ”
As she spoke, Su Xiyan took a step forward and carefully picked up the earrings in the jewelry box, intending to put them on for her.
But suddenly, a cold swishing voice interjected, "Grandma, after all, this is your seventieth birthday party, why don't you wear the one around your neck, it's more noble." ”
As soon as Shen Mo's words fell, the smile on Su Xiyan's face froze, did he think that the gift she picked couldn't be put on the table? Or do you dislike her and can't get on the stage?
Zhou Xueshan saw Su Xiyan's movements paused in mid-air, and glared at Shen Mochen, who shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
"Grandma, why don't you wear this set on you, I also think this set on your body is more compatible with your clothes today, this set of mine, you keep it for your usual wear, I'll go to the housekeeper to change clothes first."
After speaking, Su Xiyan put the earrings in his hand back into the jewelry box, covered the box, quickly turned around, and walked out with the housekeeper.
Waiting for the door to be closed again, Zhou Xueshan looked at the person in front of him, and couldn't help but glance at Shen Mochen, "Listen to what you just said, if you say this, Xiyan will be sad in her heart, do you know?" ”
Shen Mochen sat down on the sofa with a pale, "I'm telling the truth, and she doesn't admit it herself, besides, what's the matter with me that woman being upset?" ”
Zhou Xueshan looked at him angrily, and there was a sense of hatred for iron and steel.
"Mo Chen, I didn't say you, Xiyan is a good girl, it's okay for you to live a good life with others, don't always make things difficult for other girls."
Shen Mochen had heard this set of rhetoric hundreds of times, if not thousands, but hundreds of times, he frowned impatiently, and he didn't know what kind of ecstasy soup that woman had poured into his grandmother, so he just stuffed that woman into himself, and let him live a good life with her.
