Chapter 195: Gift-giving and Returning Gifts
At night, it is rare for so many people to gather in the old house of the Han family, the lights are bright, and the long dining table that usually eats is full.
Mrs. Han changed into formal clothes, wearing a royal blue embroidered cheongsam, because of her weak body, she wore a light gray thin fleece coat outside, the silver threads were neatly combed, coiled into a bun, plus her own aristocratic temperament, sitting in the first place majestically and dignifiedly, people did not notice that she was an old man who was seriously ill.
The three members of the Ruan family sat on her left hand side with Han Hua and Han Xue couples, and on the right hand side were Han Rong and his wife Han Munian and Shi Nuannuan, and at the end sat Lin Yali, who was hard-pulled by Han Munian.
"Mu Nian, it's right for the family to sit together, why do you let Yali sit separately from us?" Han Xue was the first to object.
"There are so many people, Nuan Nuan is afraid of life, Yali and Nuan Nuan know each other, and they can also take care of each other when they sit together." Han Munian's reasons were one after another, without giving Han Xue the slightest chance to refute, "Besides, you said that you are a family, sitting at the same table, and sitting at the same place is the same, right?" I don't think my aunt should be so stingy. ”
"You!"
Although Han Xue was unhappy in her heart, if she still wanted her daughter to sit back, it would prove that she was stingy, and she didn't dare to show it in front of this unpredictable nephew, so she could only retreat, glared at Shi Nuannuan, and then sat down in her place.
Innocent was stared at by Shi Nuannuan: "......"
Everyone sat down one after another, and directly opposite Han Munian happened to be Ruan Yujie, in her opinion, this meal was like a blind date banquet between her and Han Munian, both parents were there, and as soon as she raised her eyes, she could see his handsome and impeccable handsome face, and the irritable and depressed mood of the afternoon was swept away.
At this time, her face was like a peach blossom, her gestures were full of the shyness of a little girl, and a pair of watery eyes glanced at him from time to time.
In fact, Han Munian was originally sitting in Han Rong's seat, because he had already taken over Han Rong's position and was the current president of Hana, and he was at the same level as Ruan Donglin, who had not yet completely stepped down.
But because Shi Nuannuan was present, she was the last one in order, so he naturally didn't worry about her sitting with her mother, not to mention that there was Ruan Yujie on the other side, who knew if the two of them would join hands to say something that would make her unable to eat, so he took the initiative to let Han Rong sit on the upper seat.
Han Rong didn't understand the twists and turns in his heart, but he felt that his son was modest and cautious, and he gave him enough face in front of the Ruan family, so his attitude towards Shi Nuannuan couldn't be said to be very good, at least he didn't shake his face like before.
But Zhong Minjia is different, she had already planned to give Shi Nuannuan a dismissal, and let her see that only the daughter of the Ruan family can be qualified to be with her son, but who knew that her son had changed positions with her husband before she sat down, how could this not make her angry?
Han Munian saw her calm face and pursed her lips, knowing that she must be sulking in her heart at this time, she hooked the corners of her lips and smiled silently, her handsome and noble appearance made Ruan Yujie's heart pound.
"Old Madam Han, I have heard about your name as the 'Iron Lady of Liangcheng' from my father for a long time in the early years, and it is my honor to visit Ruan today." Ruan Donglin greeted humbly.
"Mr. Ruan doesn't have to be polite, since he knows Ah Rong, he doesn't need these etiquettes." Mrs. Han advanced and retreated in a measured manner, and said with a light smile.
Ruan Donglin took out a delicate small box from his body and handed it to Mrs. Han: "A small meeting gift, not a tribute, please accept it with a smile." ”
The box is made of gold velvet, with a noble luster, Mrs. Han took it, opened it and saw that there was a huge imperial green jade lying quietly inside, the whole body was emerald green, flawless, and the price was expensive at a glance.
If it was really an ordinary dinner, who would give such a big gift as soon as they met?
Old Madam Han's heart was as clear as a mirror, her expression was still indifferent, and she put the lid of the box aside: "It's just that everyone has a meal, Mr. Ruan's meeting gift seems to be too valuable." ”
"Good jade should be worthy of your identity, this is what I specially brought from country A, I heard that it is an old thing in the last century, I have long thought about visiting you one day, old lady, you must not return it to me, if I bring it back to country A, it will be known by others, then I have no face!" Ruan Donglin joked deliberately.
Everyone smiled cooperatively.
Old Madam Han also smiled, nodded and said, "Since it is President Ruan's heart, then I will not refuse." ”
Ruan Donglin didn't have time to be happy, only to hear her continue: "I have a piece of white marble in my hand, although it is not the biggest, but it is better than good condition, if Mr. Ruan does not dislike it, he will accept it as a gift in return for this jadeite, how about it?" ”
As soon as her words fell, the faces of the four people present changed.
Before Ruan Donglin could say whether it was good or not, Old Madam Han had already ordered the servants around her to fetch it.
Ruan Donglin was able to catch the ducks on the shelves, and he really saw the courage of this "Liangcheng Iron Lady", and he couldn't refuse with an understatement, so he could only accept it with a smile.
"Then, I'll be respectful and obey my fate."
After a short time, the maid took the white marble over, and after seeing him accept it, Mrs. Han announced the start of the meal.
In the evening, after everyone dispersed, Zhong Minjia couldn't help it, stopped Mrs. Han and asked, "Mom, Mr. Ruan, he also gave you a gift, why did you give it back immediately?" He'll think it's you who have an opinion about him. ”
Old Madam Han stared at her with those chaotic but clear eyes, and looked at her empty-heartedly: "Mom, what's wrong, you...... Why do you think of me like that......"
"On the day of the family dinner, you called outsiders to come, do you think I'm really old and confused, and I can't understand what you and Ah Rong think?"
Zhong Minjia sneered: "Mom, isn't this the Ruan family's intention to move the Xianhe Group back to China?" I'm also doing this for the good ...... of the Han family."
Old Madam Han interrupted her: "Could it be that the Han family's status in Liangcheng is not high enough now?" ”
Zhong Minjia argued: "If the Ruan family can cooperate with us, then the Han family will not only be the first in the business world in Liangcheng, but also a ......."
Old Madam Han shook her head and sighed lightly: "Minjia, it's good to be self-motivated, but your obsession is too great." ”
"Mom......"
Old Madam Han waved her hand a little tiredly: "Ah Rong has already handed over the group to Mu Nian, so you don't have to worry about these things anymore." Also, Nuan Nuan is a good girl, since Mu Nian likes her, I don't want our Han family to do these unethical things. ”
Zhong Minjia looked at her rickety back, and her clenched hands revealed the unwillingness in her heart......
On the way back to the cherry blossom garden, Shi Nuannuan was still thinking about the scene at the dinner table.
Seeing her looking out the window in a daze, Han Munian reached out and rubbed her head, and quipped, "Did you eat a meal that made you stunned?" ”
"You're demented!" Shi Nuannuan worked hard to maintain her dignity and choked back.
Han Munian smiled in his eyes: "I'm talking about becoming stupid because of eating, since you think of 'dementia', that's 'dementia'." ”
Listen, he still has reason to scold himself for being demented!
Shi Nuannuan glared at him, turned his head and ignored him, causing him to chuckle.
Liu Jianguo, who was sitting in the front row, heard his hearty laughter, and sighed infinitely in his heart: his little master had never laughed like this before, but since Miss Shi appeared, his temper has changed a lot.
It's not that he was bad before, it's just that now, it's a little more humane.
Shi Nuannuan didn't know that Liu Jianguo had regarded her as a great hero to save her little master, and she was still thinking about what happened when she was eating at the old mansion at night.
Han Munian knew what she was thinking at a glance, and answered her questions very patiently: "My parents deliberately want to marry the Ruan family, so they will call them to the old mansion for dinner alone on the day of our family's dinner." ”
"Then our relationship ......"
Han Munian reached out to hold her hand and took her into his arms, Shi Nuannuan blushed and struggled twice, but his strength was no match for him, and he was firmly imprisoned in his arms.
"Don't worry, with grandma here, her old man likes you so much, your status as a girlfriend will definitely be kept." His tone was soft, and there was an inexplicable depth in his eyes.
About half an hour later, the car stopped at the gate of the cherry blossom garden, and Aunt Pei had not slept yet, so she came out to open the door for them.
"Han Shao, Miss Shi, you're back."
"Hmm." Han Munian loosened the collar of his shirt, "It's nothing, you go and rest." ”
"Okay." Aunt Pei answered, and when she was about to turn around, she remembered something, and said more, "Han Shao, the things in Miss Shi's bedroom have been moved." ”
"I see."
Shi Nuannuan was stunned for a while before she reacted, she had been forced to move in with this man during the day today!
So, how should you sleep at night?
Shi Nuannuan stood in Han Munian's bedroom, looking at the three-meter bed in the middle, and didn't even know where to step on it.
Looking at her stiff body, Han Munian smiled at the corner of his lips and deliberately asked, "Will you go wash first?" ”
"Ahh Shi Nuannuan reacted very much and took two steps back, and even stammered when she spoke, "Wash ...... What to wash......"
"Take a bath." Han Munian admired her anxious and restless expression, and her dark eyes were full of unfinished interest.
Shi Nuannuan's face turned red when he "brushed", don't turn your head and don't look at him: "You wash it first!" ”
"Okay, then I'll wash first." Han Munian glanced at her meaningfully.
Shi Nuannuan only felt that her face was about to burn - why did she feel so strange about this sentence? It seems that two people are going to ...... later.
Thinking of this, she felt that she was almost unable to breathe, and even her neck was dyed with a layer of shy pink.
Han Munian took off his shirt and went into the cloakroom to get a change of underwear, and as soon as he opened the drawer, he suddenly thought of something, hooked his lips, and closed the drawer again......
The footsteps disappeared behind the bathroom door, Shi Nuannuan turned her back to the direction of the bathroom, so she didn't notice the meaningful eyes in front of him before entering the door, she listened to the sound of gurgling water from inside, and never felt that the time waiting for the bath was so difficult.
She looked around the bedroom, which was slightly larger than the one she used to live in, and there was not much furniture in addition to it, the most conspicuous thing was the big bed in the middle, and she couldn't help but say in her heart: It is different for rich people to sleep in such a big bed alone......
--- Small Theatre---
Meng Nuan glared at someone angrily: "Honestly, why do you sleep in such a big bed alone?!" Do you want to find another leprechaun to warm your bed?! ”
President Han immediately expressed his loyalty: "Heaven and earth conscience, I have never had a woman before you!" ”
Meng Nuan pointed to the big bed and asked, "Then how do you explain this three-meter big bed?!" ”
President Han hugged her into his arms with a dead face: "Baby, that's because I've been waiting for you to appear......"
