Chapter 68: Du Ruosheng's Family
Jian Xiu didn't speak, Shen Yan thought that he wouldn't answer himself, but he didn't expect that after being silent for a long time, he replied, "Because we have been married for so long before we came to see him...... I am very unfilial. β
This answer is a bit too bland, completely different from what Shen Yan imagined, but I don't know if it's an illusion, I always feel that Jian Xiu just now seems too heavy, the kind of heaviness that bears a lot of sin.
Shen Yan was a little puzzled in her heart, but obviously Jian Xiu didn't want to say it deeply, so she didn't ask any more questions.
When the two returned to the car, Shen Yan felt that her whole body was a little frozen, she was in the city before, and she had just come out of the crew, she didn't wear any thick clothes at all, but she didn't expect to run to the wilderness and move outside for nearly an hour, but now that the air conditioner is turned on, the hot and cold are so hot, don't mention the taste.
Especially the position of the knees, it was sore and swollen, and it was uncomfortable, but Shen Yan saw that Jian Xiu was always worried, and she didn't say anything.
After that, Jian Xiu drove for more than 20 minutes and stopped in a village.
It's not exactly a village, this side belongs to the suburbs of City B, and it has not been fully developed, but there are still some high-rise buildings, but the place where Jian Xiu stopped is a bungalow.
Because the road inside was very narrow, the car was parked outside, and then the two of them got out of the car and walked inside, following Jian Xiu for more than a hundred meters, Jian Xiu stopped in front of an inconspicuous bungalow, this house looks quite old, especially compared to the three-story small bungalow next door.
Shen Yan thought while following Jian Xiu to the courtyard, the three-story small bungalow next door is probably Du Ruosheng's house, her parents are reluctant to leave their hometown, but Du Ruosheng will definitely improve the environment for them, so look at the small bungalow that is so abrupt here, it is still next door to Jian Xiu's house, it must be Du Ruosheng's house.
It's just that...... Shen Yan frowned slightly, a little puzzled in his heart, Jian Xiu is not short of money now, why didn't he repair his house? Could it be that she guessed wrong? Jian Xiu's mother doesn't live here?
When he entered the house, Shen Yan was even more sure, the house was full of dust, and it looked like he hadn't lived in it for a few years, Shen Yan was a little stunned for a while, Jian Xiu's mother was not in her hometown, she didn't live with Jian Xiu, and she didn't die, so where did she go? She couldn't help but look at Jian Xiu beside her, and secretly thought in her heart that she had thought that she knew Jian Xiu very well, but now she realized that she didn't know anything about him except Jian Xiu......
Jian Xiu stopped at the door and whispered to Shen Yan, "Wait for me here." β
"Oh." Shen Yan obediently responded, stood in place and didn't move, even if her knees were still uncomfortable, she didn't make a fuss, not that she wanted to pretend to be well-behaved in front of Jian Xiu, but she could feel that since yesterday, Jian Xiu's whole person seemed very low, maybe his father's death day made him sad, or maybe he returned to his hometown with too much emotion, in short, he was not in a good mood, and it seemed too unkind to raise the bar with him at this time.
Jian Xiu walked around the room, he looked very carefully, it seemed that every corner of the room was not spared, it seemed that he should be reminiscing about the old timeβmaybe recalling the time when his father was still there when the family was happy.
He looked a little heavy inexplicably, as if every step was an extremely heavy burden, Shen Yan was really puzzled, what was he in his heart? Why did she feel as if he had a heavy secret in his heart?
About ten minutes or so, Jian Xiu actually took out a jade pendant from a drawer, it was very simple in the shape of a water droplet, and it was not big, but the color of this jade looked very good, Shen Yan didn't understand jade, but he also felt that the green of this pendant was very heavy, and it didn't look cheap.
Jian Xiu took the jade pendant in his hand and stood there staring at it for a long time, before he walked over to her, spread the jade pendant in the palm of his hand and stretched it out in front of her, "For you." β
Shen Yan was really a little surprised at this moment, isn't this an heirloom or something? But why give it to her? Although they are currently fathers, they are just inseparable, although she once didn't want to admit it, but she has always had the understanding that her marriage with Jian Xiu could not come to the end.
So she looked at this jade pendant and looked a little hesitant, and didn't reach out to pick it up for a while.
Jian Xiu waited for a while, and saw that she had never moved, so she pursed her lips and explained, "This is left by my mother, since you are still my wife now, keep it for me first." β
Shen Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, and heard what he meant from Jian Xiu's words, and now he is still his wife, which means that it may not be in the future, so he will keep it for him first, in fact, it is temporary, right? In this way, Shen Yan didn't have any psychological burden, so he raised his hand and took the jade pendant from his hand.
"Okay, tell me when you want it." Shen Yan stuffed the jade pendant into his bag.
Jian Xiu's lips moved, but she didn't say anything to let her wear on her body.
"Let's go."
Shen Yan buckled the baby, looked up and asked, "Are you going back?" β
"I'm going to go next door."
Next door? Isn't that Du Ruosheng's house? Shen Yan tugged at the corners of his mouth, but he almost forgot that they came back with Du Ruosheng, and if they wanted to go back, they couldn't leave her alone.
So she didn't say anything, followed Jian Xiu out of the yard and ran next door.
Presumably they guessed that Jian Xiu would come and wait, so as soon as they knocked on the door, someone came out and opened the door, and the door was opened by a middle-aged woman, estimated to be Du Ruosheng's mother, she was very happy when she saw Jian Xiu, "It's really Jian Xiu!" Come out, old man! I thought Ruosheng's girl was coaxing us! I didn't expect you to actually come! β
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a noise in the room, and then a middle-aged man came over wearing slippers, and he was equally happy when he saw Jian Xiu, "I haven't seen you for so many years, but I have really grown into a young man!" Come in, come in! β
Seeing that the two of them were so enthusiastic, Jian Xiu's face also showed some warmth, just like seeing family with kindness, "Uncle Du, Aunt Du, I haven't seen each other for a few years, but you haven't changed at all, you are still so young." β
The three of them greeted each other warmly, and Shen Yan seemed to be left aside, but she didn't care, this was Du Ruosheng's home, and she didn't expect to be warmly received, so she just changed her shoes in the back without saying a word.
And at this time, the three people who finished greeting seemed to think of her, Jian Xiu pulled her, she felt that she had changed her shoes and stood up straight beside Jian Xiu, with a professional smile on her face, Jian Xiu glanced at her, and then introduced to Du's father and Du's mother, "This is Shen Yan, my wife." β
The two of them looked at Shen Yan's body, and they were still smiling on their faces, but they didn't have the enthusiasm with Jian Xiu, "I saw you on TV, you are a Peugeot child, and you are also a good match." β
Well, this is the stage of professional business mutual support, so Shen Yan also took over the conversation very well, "Uncle Du, Aunt Du, I used to hear Jian Xiu mention you, saying that you used to take care of him a lot, and I was very grateful, but I was really busy in the past six months, and now as soon as I took the time to come out, Jian Xiu immediately took me back to see you." β
In fact, Jian Xiu never mentioned them to her, but she also knew that there must be neighbors who help each other, so there is absolutely nothing wrong with this wave of touting.
However, Jian Xiu glanced at her with some surprise, as if she didn't expect her to be so well-behaved and so polite to Du Ruosheng's parents, Shen Yan only secretly rolled her eyes at him, what does she hate Du Ruosheng has to do with her parents? People are at least polite to themselves now, she can't just throw her face as soon as she comes up, right? She's not the kind of person who scares about the heavens and the earth.
It wasn't until the four of them sat on the sofa that Du Ruosheng didn't show up, or Jian Xiu asked, and Du's mother remembered and said, "That girl said she didn't sleep well last night, so she went to make up for sleep when she came back." β
After speaking, he seemed to remember, "Ouch, I patronized and chatted with you, but I forgot, you didn't sleep well all night yesterday, and you tossed all morning, you must be sleepy, right?" I've got your room ready, so let's get some food and go to sleep! β
Jian Xiu smiled and thanked him, and Du's mother replied with a smile, "What are you being polite to your own family?" Wait a minute, I know you're coming, I'm going to cook the ravioli I packed in the morning. β
Shen Yan also thanked him with a smile, and then asked pretendly, "Do you want to call Ruosheng?" She hasn't eaten since last night. β
Mother Du waved her hand, "No, no, she came back and ate a bowl of noodles before going to sleep, just wait for the evening to get up and have dinner together." β
"Okay then." Shen Yan nodded in response, looking at Mother Du's gaze was obviously gentler, she gave herself a thumbs up in her heart, it seems that she is also very talented in learning this kind of thing by herself pretending to be a white lotus.
It was Jian Xiu, who frowned slightly, and looked at her with obvious confusion, but Shen Yan ignored her at all, and just sat there and concentrated on peeling oranges and eating them.
Du's mother went to cook, and Du's father was left here to chat with Jian Xiu, talking about what had happened in the past few years, and reminiscing about the past.
From their conversation, Shen Yan also learned some things, such as that they did take good care of Jian Xiu in the past, and they always treated Jian Xiu as their own son, and for example, they had not been in touch since Jian Xiu went to Country M three years ago, until he took the initiative to come to the door this time.
Shen Yan listened to the gossip while eating oranges, and he was also very happy, and then Dad Du finally mentioned what she was curious about, "How is your mother doing?" β
When Shen Yan heard this, his ears immediately pricked up, and then he heard Jian Xiu say, "It's still the same." Then he quietly changed the subject.
"......" Shen Yan was a little speechless, how mysterious is Jian Xiu's mother? Why doesn't Jian Xiu seem to be reluctant to mention it at all? But it doesn't feel like it's caused by a bad relationship between mother and son, so why?
