I didn't take his words seriously and didn't give him a response. A pair of eyes continued to look peacefully at the quiet greenery flowing through the window.
Yao Xudong looked at me, and then looked back ahead. I was silent, and I played a song at random.
The autumn was crisp, and the egrets were in two rows, and his car slowly drove into the high-end villa area after rounding a golf course. Most of the buildings in this neighborhood are in the Western aristocratic style, but there is only one single-family villa that stands out from the rest, taking the decoration route of a garden-style classical courtyard. This is his house, which I have never been to in my life.
"Today's meeting is at my second uncle's house, let's go back at about four or five o'clock. I'll take you to my house to rest for a while, don't you mind? "His car has not yet turned off and is parked at the gate of the compound. The doorman had respectfully pushed the door open for him, while he waited for my advice.
"You...... Parents are also at home? ”
"They are now in the family ancestral hall, and they will go directly to my second uncle later. Why do you feel like you're scared to meet your parents? ”
Yao Xudong's parents' family history is like filming "Once Upon a Time in America" with no gunfight scenes. They are all king-level rank strengths, although they don't have much contact, they weren't so polite to me in their previous life. I tried to make my smile less bleak and distracted: "I'm a little thirsty. ”
He parked the car in the garage and took me to the living room to ask my aunt to bring me a cup of warm tea.
The living room has a wall supported by floor-to-ceiling windows. You can see the scenery dyed with autumn outside the courtyard, the rockery is deep and quiet, but the wind is melodious and shakes the yellow leaves, and the withered pieces are fluttering, like butterflies falling, crushing into mud.
I never thought that his house would have such a gorgeous and poignant and elegant scenery, which made me suddenly think of the beauty of the cherry blossom country.
"I was a little surprised, I thought your home would be very modern as a whole." I'm a little weak-hearted, and the prejudice of my previous life makes me think that his family will not have such an aesthetic, and I always feel that it should be more in line with the setting of the local tyrant style inlaid with gold and silver.
The listener only regarded it as an ordinary compliment and didn't pay much attention to it. Of course, he would not have realized the change in my heart, at least for the time of this life, I was just a female classmate who had only known him for a long time and did not know him and his family history.
"I'm going to the clan ancestral hall to worship later, do you want to stay in my house or go with me? It takes about 10 minutes to walk. ”
"It's not good for me to go along, it's okay, I can stay at your house and wait for you." Yan Bi was a little annoyed, "I didn't know at first that you actually had something to do today, if I had known earlier that you were going to come back to worship and attend a family gathering, I wouldn't have asked you back today." ”
Yao Xudong also took a sip of warm tea, afraid that I would have a psychological burden because of this, "It doesn't matter if I can't come back, it doesn't matter if I go to the ancestral hall or not." Just by the way. I'm back, and if I don't go, my parents will nag me again. ”
I know that most of the locals have respect for the ancestral hall and their own family, the surname Yao is a big family, this kind of local clan with more wealth and power is more particular about this, with a first-class exquisite building materials carved beams and painted buildings, the ancestral hall built is magnificent, and the prosperous incense is a symbol of their glory to their ancestors.
Yao Xudong told the housekeeper and aunt to treat me well, and before going out, he turned back to me, "If you feel bored, call me at any time, by the way, not only do you not have my phone after knowing you for so long, but I don't even have your WeChat." Are you going to fly with me in the future? ”
"Then add a WeChat, I'll voice you if you have something." What he didn't know was that I could memorize his mobile phone number and WeChat ID once when I turned it upside down. In the past and present life, if it was at that time, I couldn't help but feel bitter in my heart.
I scanned his business card before he left satisfied.
But not long after he left, something happened that changed my imagination...... In my previous life, I didn't find out until I died......
