Chapter 12: A Family Gathering
In the past, when Zhang Moer was a little girl, the first thing she did when she was taken home by the nanny every day was to ask her mother and father if they had come home, but in the process of growing up, such a situation was really a minority.
Now, Zhang Mo'er is no longer looking forward to this, but is a little nervous because they called home to eat together today.
"Dad." Zhang Mo'er handed the bag to the maid and sat down a little crampedly.
When I walked in, I saw that Zhang Hong's novice hand was a company's report, and it was worthy of him, and he would not let go of even such a little time.
Zhang Mo'er and Zhang Hongxin actually don't have anything to say, of course, it's the same with Le Yanlan, their husband and wife are typical work-types, and Zhang Mo'er can't understand the communication between them.
"Why don't you see her?" Zhang Hongxin looked a little reluctant to speak, but he still asked.
Zhang Mo'er's face stiffened for a while, she knew that Zhang Hongxin was asking about wheat, and every time they mentioned wheat, their expressions would always be strange.
"Wheat went to kindergarten."
Zhang Hongxin didn't ask anything after hearing this, just nodded dispensably.
Zhang Mo'er really couldn't stand such an embarrassing atmosphere, she thought about it and had to tell her parents about it sooner or later anyway, so it was better to see what their attitude was.
She pinched the corner of her skirt and looked at Zhang Hongxin: "Dad, I want to tell you something." ”
Zhang Hongxin also cheered, although he didn't communicate much with his daughter, but now his daughter asked him to say something important, and he also took his attention away from his work.
"What's the matter?" He nudged the eye that was on his nose.
"That's it, I'm moving to Chuangxing now, just two wheat with me." Zhang Mo'er just said this in the end, although she wanted to talk about the dissolution of the marriage contract with Qian Zifeng, but she couldn't say anything to Zhang Hongxin's eyes.
"Huh? I mean, how come a few of your servants have come back? It was Le Yanlan who had just come downstairs who replied, she finally wore casual clothes once, and the lighter clothes made her look less strict.
But the expressionlessness on Le Yanlan's face shows that she is not like other noble ladies who wait at home every day for her children and husband to come back, this is a face that is often facing subordinates and partners, and there is no warmth.
Zhang Mo'er stood up: "Mom." ”
At this time, Le Yanlan frowned: "Why are you so nervous?" Just to ask you to come back for a meal, so afraid of us? ”
Everyone could see Zhang Mo'er's nervousness, Zhang Hongxin didn't say anything, but Le Yanlan said it directly.
"No, no." The last time I met them was at the engagement banquet with Qian Zifeng, and at that time, she quarreled with them because of whether to bring wheat to them, and in the end she compromised.
However, she didn't see them again after that, and Zhang Mo'er didn't like her parents' attitude towards wheat.
How could Le Yanlan not see Zhang Mo'er's duplicity, and their parents also saw this daughter clearly, and knew what kind of character she was, so they didn't care.
"Alright, it's time to eat, let's go to the restaurant."
She didn't say anything more, which made Zhang Mo'er breathe a sigh of relief.
It's been a long time since a family of three has been together for a long time, and even Zhang Mo'er, who has always been full of thoughts, was moved by such a warm moment, and her attitude towards Zhang Hongxin and Le Yanlan was better.
The Zhang family has no tradition of not being able to speak at the dinner table, watching Zhang Mo'er gradually let go of her nervousness, and began to change back to that somewhat squeamish daughter. The expression on Zhang Hongxin's face was a little relaxed, and he gave her a dry look at Shangle Yanlan's eyes.
Le Yanlan smiled, she knew that her daughter was sulking at them, but she felt that there was nothing, how to coax the innocent Zhang Mo'er She had her own way.
"By the way, Mo'er, we're going to have a banquet in a few days, do you want me to prepare a dress for you?" Le Yanlan wiped the corners of her mouth and talked about the recent arrangement.
Zhang Mo'er nodded, she had always listened to Le Yanlan's arrangement, and it was indispensable to participate in this kind of banquet in high society. Therefore, Zhang Mo'er didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it, but she really hadn't participated in this kind of banquet for a long time.
"Well, that's good. It's been a long time since you've been socially out, and you're going to come out and connect with your old best friends. Le Yanlan directly decided on Zhang Mo'er's task, she naturally didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Zhang Mo'er was stunned for a moment, and when she heard Le Yanlan talk about this, she felt as if she was far away from her previous life.
"Speaking of banquets, I remember that the engagement banquet between you and Qian Zifeng before was just a meal for our two families, no, we have to hold it once at that time." Le Yanlan saw that Zhang Mo'er had no intention of objecting, and said more energetically.
The purpose of this family reunion is also to let Zhang Mo'er return to her previous life, after all, as the eldest lady of the Zhang family, Zhang Mo'er should not be too far away from the social circle of Los Angeles.
In the past few years, it was because Zhang Mai's incident affected Zhang Mo'er's body, so she was not forced to go to any banquets, but since she was already well, she couldn't be the same as before.
Very early, Le Yanlan and Zhang Hongxin knew that Zhang Mo'er did not have the ability to run a business, and began to want to find a capable son-in-law. But I didn't expect Zhang Mai's accident, in Le Yanlan's opinion, it was this existence that changed the plans she made for her daughter.
However, Zhang Mo'er was reluctant to leave Zhang Mai and left her by her side to raise her.
Fortunately, there was a Qian Zifeng, although Qian Zifeng's family was not as good as the Zhang family, if Le Yanlan didn't look down on Qian Zifeng before, but her daughter decided that they would follow her.
Qian Zifeng really wanted to learn, so Le Yanlan and Zhang Hongxin gave Qian Zifeng a chance to cultivate his ability to take over the Zhang family in the future.
When Qian Zifeng takes over the Zhang family, his daughter will also do a good job of socializing his wife for Qian Zifeng. This is also Le Yanlan's minimum requirement for Zhang Moer, so she must return to the social circle.
Le Yanlan's tone was very sure, and Zhang Mo'er knew that she had already begun to prepare as soon as she heard it.
"Mom, I'll go to the banquet, but let's talk about the engagement banquet with Qian Zifeng after a while, um... Qian Zifeng is not... Already out of the country? Zhang Mo'er was a little scared, she didn't know how to tell them that she wanted to break the marriage.
She doesn't want to get married anymore for the sake of wheat, but how can she tell her parents? I am not capable enough, and I can't support the Zhang family, which has disappointed my parents very much, and I don't want to find a husband who calls them their hearts, they will definitely send the wheat away.
Zhang Mo'er thought that if they knew the attitude they would have after their decision, they would already be afraid.
