When it was almost time to have dinner, Shen Beier came back. Carrying a small bag, he came in from outside, and when he saw that there was only Xue Xiyu in the hall, he shouted: "Mom, my brother took that woman away, right?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Su Siqi came out of the bathroom, the two of them looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes, Xue Xiyu was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly smiled and played a round: "Miss Su, this is Meng Qing's sister, just call her Belle." ”

Su Siqi didn't hear the words in front of her, and greeted Shen Beier with a smile on her face: "Hello, Belle, I have long heard that Meng Qing has a beautiful sister, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation." ”

Shen Bei'er looked her up and down, and a trace of contempt appeared on her lips: "It's useless for you to slap my ass, I can't do anything about you and my brother." ”

Su Siqi didn't expect Shen Bei'er to be so direct, she couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and stood there with a sneering expression.

Xue Xiyu was a little helpless, she knew very well what her daughter was about her virtue, so she had to smile apologetically at Su Siqi: "Belle can't talk more than her brain, Miss Su, don't take it to heart!" ”

At the bottom of a staircase, Su Siqi immediately acted like no one was fine, "It's okay, Belle is playing with me." ”

"Who's kidding you?" Shen Bei'er pouted: "I admire you, you actually have the cheekiness to stay and eat, and you can't stand it, can't you see it?" ”

Seeing that her daughter was less and less like her more and more she talked, Xue Xiyu scolded her in a low voice: "Belle, Miss Su is a guest!" ”

"It's okay," Su Siqi smiled reluctantly, stepped aside, and avoided if she couldn't be provoked.

Shen Beier asked, "What about my dad and my brother?" ”

"They're in the study." Xue Xiyu said, "You tell them to come down to eat." ”

Shen Bei'er answered and ran upstairs quickly. Su Siqi watched her go upstairs before saying, "Auntie, shall I help?" ”

"No, you're a guest, please take a seat, then a maid can do the first."

Su Siqi saw the servants rushing out with food, and knew that she couldn't help, and it seemed inappropriate for her to help such a decent person. had to sit elegantly, she insisted on staying just to meet Shen Beier and recruit one more helper, thinking that everyone was young and should have an easy relationship, but she didn't expect that when they met, they were sharp at Mai Mang. If she is a hedgehog, then Shen Beier is a thorn!

Soon, the three people upstairs came down together, Shen Mengqing walked in front, and Shen Beier held Shen Mingru's arm, smiling. Obviously, the three of them are in the same frame, but they are two painting styles, Shen Mengqing in front looks indifferent and alienated, but Shen Mingru and Shen Beier in the back are intimate.

It wasn't until she saw her that Shen Mengqing showed a smile, walked up to her and sat down, and asked in a low voice, "Did Belle target you just now?" ”

"No," Su Siqi shook her head, "We just said hello." ”

The position of the Shen family's dinner is in order, Shen Mingru sits in the first place, Xue Xiyu and Shen Beier on the right, and Shen Mengqing and Su Siqi on the left. Shen Mingru first picked up the wine glass: "It's rare for people to be so together, let's have a toast." ”

So everyone stood up, picked up the cup and touched it gently, Su Siqi didn't know if she was too sensitive, except for Shen Mengqing and Xue Xiyu who touched the cup with her, Shen Mingru only made a false appearance, and Shen Beier didn't mean to clink glasses with her at all. Her hands were frozen in the air, a little embarrassed, but she reacted quickly and covered up the embarrassment by drinking.

When eating, it was very quiet, everyone behaved elegantly, except for Su Siqi, she also tried not to make a sound, but she felt awkward, eating is a habit, she can't eat to the fullest, she eats tastelessly.

Once it is quiet, the atmosphere becomes a little weird, Shen Mingru's face is calm, there is a kind of non-anger and majesty that has been precipitated over the years, Shen Mengqing's face is expressionless, showing a strong aura in indifference, Xue Xiyu is weak and quiet, but Shen Bei'er is rebellious, occasionally meeting her gaze, full of contempt and provocation.

Su Siqi is a smart person, so naturally she will not compete with her. But the dreary atmosphere really made her a little uncomfortable. So she picked up her wine glass and said to Shen Mingru: "Uncle, I toast you and wish you good health." ”

Shen Mingru glanced at Shen Mengqing and smiled indifferently: "Thank you." He didn't raise his glass, he took a sip.

Su Siqi smiled and said, "Uncle is free, I did it." With that, he craned his neck and poured the wine into his mouth.

Normally, on this occasion, she can always win the applause of the whole house, but this time it was different, the room was quiet, no one spoke, and no one applauded, only Shen Mengqing gently pulled her, "Sit down and eat." ”

Su Siqi was a little puzzled, shouldn't the dinner table be lively? Although there is an old saying: food is not spoken, sleep is silent. But isn't this an atmosphere depressing in the modern age?

She poured wine again, "I'll toast Auntie again!" ”

Shen Mengqing finally couldn't help it and said, "Auntie is not strong enough to drink, so let's get rid of it." His hand pressed against her leg and she didn't move.

Su Siqi felt the weight of that hand, so she knew that what she had just done should be inappropriate.

Shen Bei'er burst out laughing: "I didn't expect Miss Su to drink well, I don't know what she does?" ”

"I used to be a salesman, and I often had to socialize, and I drank a lot of alcohol."

"Oh," Shen Bei'er suddenly realized: "It turns out that Miss Su used to accompany the wine?" No wonder. ”

"Belle!" Shen Mengqing's voice was not loud, but his tone was not good.

Shen Bei'er stuck out her tongue and said to Su Siqi with a smile: "I'm sorry, Miss Su, don't mind, I often don't talk more than my brain." ”

Su Siqi didn't expect her to take the initiative to apologize, but she was a little flattered, "It's okay, in fact, entertainment is to accompany the wine, and the customer is willing to sign the contract only after he has drunk the wine." ”

A slightly chilling gaze swept over her face, Su Siqi quickly shut up and didn't say anything, she felt that she was a little brainless when she spoke, after all, it was the first time she saw Shen Mengqing's parents, how could she say such inappropriate words? I don't know how complicated her job is, especially this kind of rich family, who is very taboo about this kind of thing. already looked down on her family background, if she was not innocent, it would be really useless.

Probably because Shen Mengqing's face was a little unsightly, Shen Beier didn't say anything more, and Su Siqi also kept quiet, lest she say something inappropriate, and the atmosphere began to be dull again.

There was a dessert after the meal, it was bird's nest, it was delicious, Su Siqi couldn't hold back for a while, and instigated it very loudly, everyone looked up at her, and she was so embarrassed that she was red-faced, and she couldn't wait to open a crack and get into it immediately.

Everyone else had silent expressions, only Shen Bei'er laughed out loud, and laughed very loudly.

Xue Xiyu glanced at her with disgust, and Shen Bei'er restrained a little.

Anyway, this depressing meal is finally over. When Su Siqi got up, she let out a long breath.

After the meal, Shen Mengqing took her out to walk the dog together, and out of the big iron gate, Su Siqi couldn't wait to be like Xueli, spreading her hooves and spreading joy.

She asked Shen Mengqing: "Why don't you talk when you eat at home?" ”

"You don't know what to eat, you don't know what to sleep?"

"But I'm also a guest," Su Siqi said, "I have to say something polite, have a glass of wine, and persuade the food." ”

"They don't like that."

Su Siqi looked at the big houses on both sides of the road and asked, "Is your family like this?" Or is it the same in other people's homes? Why is it so hard for rich people to eat? ”

"I don't know about other people's homes, but it's about the same," Shen Mengqing said lightly: "This is the so-called upper class, you have to abide by certain rules, we have special people to teach how to eat, how to walk, how to sit, how to stand, some rules and etiquette can not be wrong, otherwise people will be laughed at." ”

"Oh my God!" Su Siqi exclaimed: "Wouldn't that be worse than going to prison? ”

"I don't think so, everyone is like this, so I don't feel much about it."

Su Siqi touched his head: "Poor baby." ”

Shen Mengqing tilted her head and dodged her hand: "Don't touch my head." ”

"Why?" Su Siqi shouted at the top of her voice: "You always touch me, why can't I touch ......"

Before she finished speaking, her mouth was covered by Shen Mengqing, and the man glared at her angrily: "Miss Su, please tell me completely, I don't know how I am." ”

Su Siqi pursed her lips and muttered in a low voice: "Aren't you hungry?" One night ......"

The man's eyes swept over, she consciously closed her voice, and smiled shyly: "Okay, let's finish speaking, you always touch my head, why can't I touch your head?" ”

"A man's head cannot be touched."

"Why?"

"No, it's been handed down since ancient times."

"Old feudal." Su Siqi grabbed his arm and looked at the moon in the sky, "Is it that when I marry in the future, I will also learn to walk like your aunt, eat like that, and laugh like that?" ”

"You don't need to."

"Why?"

"We don't live with them."

"But you always have to be together during the New Year's holidays, and there are relatives gathering or something, there must be a lot of relatives in your family, right?"

Shen Mengqing smiled, it's not a good thing to have more relatives, a family like him is a condensed version of the internal extension struggle, around that piece of family property, intrigues, conspiracies, endlessly, the loser is sluggish, and the winning is showing off his might, but there are always people who are thieves who do not die, waiting for an opportunity to make a comeback, or seeking power and usurping power, or eating inside and out.

Since my grandfather's generation, it took a lot of hard work to win the inheritance, and when it came to my father's generation, it was naturally a lot of treachery, fighting to the death, and the power was in hand. So my father loves Aunt Xue so much, and he is only willing to give birth to one child, if it is a boy, the inheritance will be one of the two of them, and if it is a girl, he will naturally be the only one to inherit. Although his father didn't love him as much as he loved Belle, he spared no effort to cultivate him, so he dared to have a showdown with his father with the notarial deed of renunciation of inheritance.

The woman's eyes were black and shiny, with a faint hint of worry, Shen Mengqing smiled bitterly in her heart, the silly woman thought too much. It is not easy to get along with his parents and integrate into his family.

He patted her hand: "What are you afraid of, didn't you say that the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge!" ”
