259 Visiting Parents
When the English-style mansion came into view, Su Siqi was not afraid, she had already arrived at the door, and it was useless to be afraid.
The iron door slowly opened, and I saw a person standing on the steps from a distance, with his hair coiled, wearing a cheongsam-like dress, with a long tasseled shawl tied on his shoulders.
At this moment, Su Siqi knew why Shen Mingru loved Mrs. Shen, her beauty was not as flamboyant and domineering as Shen Mengqing's mother, as if the years were quiet and good, which could make people feel peaceful. If Ms. Shi is a gorgeous rose with thorns, Mrs. Shen is a fragrant and elegant lily.
Su Siqi didn't expect Mrs. Shen to come outside to greet her, she was quite surprised and a little moved, she thought that she was embattled when she came over, but as soon as she entered the door, someone greeted her here, and she was immediately full of good feelings for Mrs. Shen.
After getting out of the car, Mrs. Shen greeted them with a smile: "You guys are here." She was very polite, and there was a hint of courtesy in her eyes.
Su Siqi was flattered and hurriedly greeted her: "Hello, Auntie." ”
"Miss Su, please sit inside." She gestured and led the way in.
Su Siqi followed behind, watching her walk with a graceful demeanor, noble and generous, she couldn't help but feel envious, I don't know when I will be able to cultivate to this point.
Su Siqi has seen the world, but when she walked into the hall, she was still shocked by this magnificent scene, such a high entrance hall, huge crystal chandeliers all the way over, the ceiling painted with gold and color, high floor-to-ceiling windows, one after another extended beyond her sight, looking at the corridor opposite, she was full of curiosity, I don't know how big this house is?
The interior of the house is full of European-style furniture, cream-white color, painted with gold edges, and red or blue decorations, which looks very beautiful. There is a big fireplace in the hall, imagine how pleasant it would be to burn a fire in the winter and sit on a chaise longue in front of the fireplace to read a newspaper or a novel.
Stepping on the pure wool carpet under his feet, soft and comfortable, the maid brought tea and stepped back silently. Su Siqi realized that except for Mrs. Shen, there seemed to be no one else at home.
Shen Mengqing asked, "What about Dad?" ”
Mrs. Shen replied with a smile: "He was upstairs, he felt hot just now, went up to change his clothes, and came down immediately." After a pause, he said to Su Siqi, "Miss Su, please drink tea." ”
Su Siqi took a sip of the tea, which was slightly sweet and fragrant.
"It's black tea, are you still used to drinking it?"
"It's okay," Su Siqi said politely: "I don't have a special love for tea, it's okay." ”
"Let's eat some fruit," Mrs. Shen pointed to the fruit plate on the coffee table: "It was just shipped today, and it is all fresh." ”
Su Siqi said hello, forked a piece of honeydew melon with a fruit fork and put it in her mouth, although it is not a seasonal fruit, but it is juicy and sweet, and it is very delicious.
Shen Mengqing also forked a piece of honeydew melon, put it in his mouth and chewed it, Mrs. Shen said with a smile: "You like to eat, take two back when you leave, you can't buy them in China." ”
As he was talking, Shen Mingru came down from upstairs, he was as tall as Shen Mengqing, but his face was kind, very elegant, and people were very kind at first glance.
Su Siqi hurriedly stood up and called: "Hello uncle." ”
Shen Mingru had a smile on his face and waved his hand: "Sit, you're welcome." ”
Su Siqi waited for him to sit down before daring to sit, her back was straight, her body was stiff, and she was very cautious, although Shen Mingru looked kind, but she couldn't help but be nervous, afraid that he would say something against them as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Is it the first time Miss Su has come to Bei'an?"
"No, I've been here before."
"Bei'an is very big, and there are many places to play, stay a few more days, and let Meng Qing lead you around to play."
Su Siqi glanced at Shen Mengqing, a little shy: "He is busy with work, we may not stay for long." ”
Shen Mengqing said: "It doesn't matter if you work, it's all arranged when you come out, you think about where to play, I'll take you there." ”
Su Siqi didn't want Shen Mingru to think that she was ignorant, so she said, "I don't have anything to play." ”
Shen Mengqing proposed: "Didn't you always want to go to the National Museum?" Why don't you go there and check it out. ”
Su Siqi was hesitating, and Mrs. Shen interjected: "The National Museum is indeed worth seeing, Miss Su is rare to visit, let's go and see it." ”
Su Siqi had no choice but to nod: "That's fine." ”
Shen Mingru took a sip of tea and looked at her: "Where is Miss Su from?" ”
"Yuxiang in the south of the Yangtze River."
"Oh, what do mom and dad do?"
"Dad used to be a technician at the Agricultural Machinery Institute, but now he is retired." I don't know why, she didn't mention her mother.
Shen Mingru asked, "What about Mom?" ”
"Mom has been gone for a long time."
Shen Mingru looked apologetic: "I'm sorry, I don't know ......"
"It doesn't matter, uncle," Su Siqi said busily, "I've gotten used to it for so many years. ”
"Your father raised you alone?"
"Yes." Speaking of her father, Su Siqi is quite proud: "I have the best father in the world. ”
Shen Ruming nodded: "Your father is great," and asked again: "I heard that you are studying Chinese?" ”
"Yes, I studied Chinese," Su Siqi said with a smile, "but after graduation, I did sales and did not apply what I learned." ”
"How many years have you been working?"
Shen Mengqing finally couldn't help but interject: "Dad, are you checking your household registration?" ”
Shen Mingru laughed: "Dad asks a few more words, you are annoyed?" ”
Su Siqi hurriedly said, "It's okay, uncle is chatting with me." ”
"Meng Qing, you are not as sensible as Miss Su." Shen Mingru paused for a moment and said, "That's it, Miss Su is here for the first time, let your aunt lead her around for a visit, let's sit here and have a cup of tea, you haven't come back for so long, chat with your father." ”
Su Siqi is 100% obedient here, and as soon as she heard Shen Mingru say this, she immediately stood up and said to Mrs. Shen, "Then it's troublesome Auntie." ”
Mrs. Shen smiled just right, stood up and gathered her shawl: "You're welcome, Miss Su, it's rare that the weather is good, I'll take you to the garden for a walk." ”
Shen Mengqing was not at ease, and dragged Su Siqi's hand: "Or I'll accompany you later." ”
Shen Mingru coughed: "Meng Qing, what else is there to worry about in your own family, will your aunt eat Miss Su?" ”
Su Siqi was very embarrassed, hurriedly shook Shen Mengqing's hand away, and looked at him with disgust: "You can chat with your uncle, and I will go out for a walk with my aunt." After speaking, he took the initiative to go over and hold Mrs. Shen's arm: "Auntie, let's go." ”
Mrs. Shen glanced at Shen Mengqing, still smiling: "Don't worry, Miss Su handed it over to me, I can't lose it." ”
A joke diluted the embarrassing atmosphere, Su Siqi walked out of the door with Mrs. Shen in her arms, the spring sun is not fruitful, but the light is abundant, raise your eyes to see, the blue sky, the white clouds are long, it is a rare sunny weather.
Mrs. Shen pointed not far away and said, "Look, that's my garden, and every morning and evening, I stay there." ”
Although Mrs. Shen was completely untraceable, Su Siqi could still notice that Mrs. Shen pulled her arm out of her hand by pointing in the direction. That enthusiasm and diligence probably came to Shen Mengqing. I still remember that just after the New Year, she hid outside the gate and peeked, and when Shen Mengqing brought his childhood sweetheart back, Mrs. Shen's attitude was obviously different, she smiled lovingly, and hugged Wen Ruoyan warmly.
There is a difference in the end, but Su Siqi didn't take it to heart, the Shen Wen family is a world friend, and they have a very good relationship, and the relationship is naturally not ordinary, what does she compare with Wen Ruoyan?
But this visit was completely different from what she had imagined. Shen Mingru was clearly opposed to her being with Shen Mengqing, and entrusted an assistant to talk to her that year. But as soon as they met, the Shen family and his wife were very polite to her, and they didn't mean to despise her in their words, nor did they mention her and Shen Mengqing, what does this mean? She couldn't understand it, could it be that after four years, Shen Mingru had already figured it out, so Shen Mengqing took her home.
The room was very quiet, and Shen Mengqing didn't hear his father speak for a while, so he spoke: "Dad, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”
"Meng Qing, Dad really doesn't know what you think? Knowing that I don't agree with your relationship, why do you want to bring it back, isn't it embarrassing to each other? ”
"Embarrassing?" Shen Mengqing chuckled: "I think the atmosphere is very good!" ”
"I made it clear on the phone that I don't want to bring her to my house, and if you want us to meet, just make an appointment for a cup of tea."
"How can I meet my future daughter-in-law outside?" Shen Mengqing put down the cup and lit a cigarette: "This is not in accordance with the rules." ”
Shen Mingru's face was slightly gloomy: "Don't mess around, our Shen family won't admit her." ”
"Don't admit her, you asked so much just now?"
"Meng Qing," Shen Mingru persuaded with good words: "You listen to your father's advice, this girl is not suitable for you, you used to say that I was arbitrary, and I vetoed her without seeing anyone, but now that I see it, it is still the same sentence." She's not a good fit for you. ”
"She has been with me, not with you, only I know if it is suitable or not."
"I was against it four years ago, and I am even more against it four years later, you know that thing, Miss Su doesn't know now, if she knows in the future, what will she think in her heart? Won't there be a gap in your mother's heart? Meng Qing, she can't be a family with us. ”
"That incident, I will find a suitable opportunity to tell her, anyway, sooner or later, I can't hide it," Shen Mengqing puffed out a puff of smoke, "But that incident will not affect the relationship between us, nor will it affect my determination to marry her." ”
"Shen Mengqing!" Shen Ruming was a little annoyed, in fact, he has cultivated himself in recent years, and it is rare to get angry, only this son can make him angry. When he received the notarial certificate of renunciation of inheritance that year, he was really angry, it wasn't for those two quick-acting heart-saving pills, and he almost died. But now, the son is still stubborn and obsessive. Putting aside the concept of opening a brother, even if the Shen family has a big business and does not need to rely on marriage to grow his momentum, but the incident four years ago has already made him feel like a stalk, and then marrying Su Siqi back, dangling in front of his eyes every day, reminding him all the time, can this family still have a peaceful life?
