Chapter 418: Master Moves
The old man really wants to say that he has no shortage of people to accompany him to play chess.
If the two of the Xia family hadn't come back for that matter at this sensitive time, it would have been a good opponent to play chess.
But now, it's different.
Playing chess together again, the state of mind is different.
However, it is still difficult to say this explicitly.
"Yes, multiple people play chess. But you can't play this game of chess with three people. ”
Seeing that the old man's words were about to turn a corner, Chu Hancheng pulled him back in time.
"Three people can't play chess, so they can play mahjong alone."
Jiang Yingyue sat next to Mr. Chu and couldn't help but call for Mr. Chu.
Why is Mr. Chu so witty?
God plays mahjong, the old man clearly just doesn't want to play chess with the old man Xia.
"Hancheng is right, we can still make an appointment with an old friend to play mahjong."
Xia Mu also quickly changed the topic.
They did come back this time for another purpose, but they couldn't tell the old man so clearly, right?
"Well, it's still pretty good to go back to China for retirement."
"It's good to come back to retire, but can you rest assured that Xia Xia will be abroad? Didn't you two go abroad just for him? ”
At such a sensitive time, Xia Xue didn't want her parents to say anything about coming back to support the elderly.
When they come back to retire, they might as well be outside. At least, peace of mind.
Anyway, it's not that far abroad, so it's very convenient to go if you want to.
"That's right, we really can't let go of Xia Xia, her mother also has her own job now, and she's very busy."
Thinking that his eldest grandson had no one to take care of him abroad, the second elder felt distressed again.
Obviously, the two families were sitting together chatting, but Jiang Yingyue could always hear what was being said. However, she and Chu Hancheng are juniors, so try not to open your mouth if you can. After all, the old man of the Chu family is not an ordinary person.
Verbal war or something, not to mention anything else, the old man is also difficult to have an opponent.
When it was almost half past five, the maid came over and said that it was time to eat.
Xia Xue asked everyone's opinions, and after asking, she ordered the kitchen to set the meal.
The chef here in Xia Xue invited a very good level, and the dinner was rich and delicious.
Jiang Yingyue and Chu Hancheng have already eaten here, and they still want to understand the tastes here.
Dinner, too, can be regarded as something to look forward to.
"Xia Bei really didn't have to say anything about the chef's skills that Xia Bei helped me find this time, I found that I seem to have gained weight recently."
After Xia Xue arranged everyone in their positions, she personally took the wine decanter and poured wine for everyone.
Jiang Yingyue wanted to help, but Xia Xue pressed her back to her seat.
"What about you, just sit here and eat today, I specially ordered the kitchen, stewed health soup, and you can drink more in a while."
Xia Xue poured wine and said to Jiang Yingyue.
Jiang Yingyue nodded with a smile and waited for Xia Xue to sit down after pouring wine for everyone.
"Let's all raise a glass together, today is a day of reunion. In the future, there will always be happy and beautiful days, and there will always be days of reunion and family sharing. ”
Xia Xue is the host today, and the opening toast is what she said.
Then everyone raised their glasses, and the red wine glasses clinked together to make a crisp 'bell' sound, and they happily said, "Cheers." ”
The wine in the cup was drunk, and then the maid waited for the wine to be poured by the side.
In fact, this meal was not particularly important, the important thing was that the Xia family had to pass on a message to the Chu family through this matter.
Now, the news has arrived.
However, the quality of the dinner was really good. The old couple of the Xia family stay abroad all the year round, and when they come back to eat such delicious Chinese food, they are full of praise from beginning to end.
A meal, which can be regarded as a very comfortable meal. Eating out at noon, it's not so delicious.
For a moment, Xia Mu felt as if she had another excuse to stay here for two more days.
After dinner, Xia Xue spoke again: "Dinner is a little greasy, I have a good Ming Qian Longjing here, can we drink another cup of tea?" I'll soak it myself. ”
Saying that, Xia Xue also added that she would make tea by herself.
Xia Xue is still very cultivated in tea art, for so many years, the old man of the Chu family has been drinking tea at home, even if he takes a bowl to brew, he has to let Xia Xue get it himself.
Xia Xue has a very good grasp of tea and water temperature, so much so that the tea brewed is more delicious than others.
"Okay, take out your good tea, it's just right to have a drink now."
The old man also thought the dinner was delicious, and before he knew it, he had eaten a little too much.
Xia Xue nodded and smiled and invited everyone back to the living room.
In fact, after eating for more than an hour, it was already dark outside. It's time to go back to our respective homes. However, Xia Xue obviously didn't want the people from the Chu family to leave.
Although it was getting late outside, I knew that everyone would not rest when they went home so early.
If the people here leave, Xia Xue herself has no excuse not to talk to her parents for a while.
Anyway, it's better to get along with people, so that she can avoid topics she doesn't want to hear.
The old man's side responded first, and Chu Hancheng and Jiang Yingyue naturally could only follow.
Xia Xue's craftsmanship in making tea is indeed good, and even every movement is beautiful and ornamental. Jiang Yingyue has always been the kind of coffee drinker, but when she saw Xia Xue's kung fu in front of her, she was also impressed.
"Mom, when will you teach me this hand?"
Jiang Yingyue watched Xia Xue's operation so slippery, thinking that if she could learn it. In the future, it is also very bluffing for law firms to receive the kind of big customers with backgrounds, and to show this ability.
"Okay, I have time to teach, do you have time to learn?"
Xia Xue turned her head, glanced at Jiang Yingyue crookedly, and smiled.
She is busy now, but she knows that once Jiang Yingyue is busy, she will be even busier than her.
Xia Xue's words immediately succeeded in attracting attention.
Xia Mu suddenly asked, "Yingyue, I heard that you are a divorce lawyer, and you are quite famous?" ”
"Yes, Grandma, I'm a divorce lawyer. As for fame, because of a marriage TV show, some people only know about it. ”
Jiang Yingyue is still very modest when she says this.
She is not only a little famous now, as long as the divorced people find a lawyer, and after a little inquiry, they will all come to Jiang Yingyue.
In this city, the other lawyers who also represent divorce lawsuits are about to drink the northwest wind recently. Fortunately, they are not like Jiang Yingyue, they only fight divorce lawsuits, and they also fight other lawsuits, so as not to lose their jobs.
Knowing the connection between Jiang Yingyue and Wang Chufan's law firm, other lawyers who are fighting divorce lawsuits are eager to have a good relationship with Jiang Yingyue. When I can't receive the case, I hope Jiang Yingyue can give me a piece of the pie.
If you receive the case, pray that you don't meet Jiang Yingyue.
Well, Jiang Yingyue is such a divorce lawyer in this city now.
Therefore, her own answer is really too modest.
"I remember that the Chu family has always had an unwritten family rule, that is, the wife of the head of the family is not allowed to work outside."
"My grandfather and Hancheng are very supportive of my own business, and so is my mother, who thinks that I may be a little wasteful as a young grandmother at home."
If she asked, then she wouldn't have to be modest.
is originally powerful, and there is no need to pretend.
Xia Mu nodded with a smile and said, "Well, it's also good." I used to think that the unwritten family rules of the Chu family were really excessive. This rule may have been okay decades or hundreds of years ago. But what age is this now, and women can hold up half the sky. Our Xue'er is also motivated, but it's a pity that she only comes out to work now. How many years of youth have been delayed, I think back then, our Xue'er was also a top student of a famous school. The ability and academic qualifications are very high, and there is a job invitation just after graduation. ”
When Xia's mother said this, she made it clear that she supported her daughter to become the president of the Chu Group.
No one knew that the topic had suddenly turned a corner.
Jiang Yingyue herself didn't expect it, even if the Xia family had such an idea, even if they wanted to help Xia Xue ascend to the throne, shouldn't such an idea be hidden?
Why, this is still so directly provoked in front of the old man and Chu Hancheng?
Knowing that, these two will definitely not agree to Xia Xue's ascension.
Jiang Yingyue's eyes were quietly looking at the old man of the two families, and naturally she was also looking at Xia Mu who brought the topic over.
This is the ...... Don't you have to pick it up now, right?
This is obviously something that cannot be talked about together, and it is easy to have disagreements and contradictions.
Anyway, the relationship between the two families is also in-laws, and the marriage relationship for so many years is here, is this going to be broken?
The first to break the silence was the old man of the Chu family.
He took a sip of tea, smacked it, and said, "The daughter-in-law's craftsmanship really doesn't have to be said, my mother-in-law, you can also taste it, the temperature and taste are just right." ”
It's all just right......
The topic mentioned by Xia Mu, this old man just turned around?
Avoided?
Okay, okay, anyway, don't blame them for what they're going to do next.
The second elder of the Xia family smiled and took a sip of the teacup.
What is the taste of tea, at this time, they are not in the mood to taste it. However, the old man of the Chu family is very direct here.
The topic that had been bypassed by him just now was suddenly picked up by him unexpectedly.
"My daughter-in-law is highly educated and capable, otherwise, how could my son fall in love with it back then? In-laws, mother-in-law, you said yes, right? ”
Hearing this, the two elders of the Xia family stared at each other and glanced at each other. Barely smiling, but the laugh is far-fetched.
Jiang Yingyue had learned some psychology, and looked at Chu Hancheng with some puzzlement for such a smile.
Isn't it a business marriage?
Isn't it that the relationship between husband and wife is very bad?
Where does this devotion come from?
If Chu Hancheng's father was obsessed with Xia Xue, then how could there be Ms. Gao Gao Ya and Chu Hancheng?
