Chapter 171: Arranged Marriage in the Republic of China (9)
When An Nan was invited by Zhan Zhizhou to the cocktail party held at their house, she did not refuse, she went as promised.
It is very strange that Mrs. Zhan was not dissatisfied when she saw her, but had a gentle attitude, and talked to her about school, as if she admired her very much.
An Nan thought that after she knew that she and Zhan Zhizhou fell in love, she would think that she was a scheming woman who admired vanity and tried to climb the major general's position, but she didn't expect her to be open-minded and understand righteousness......
If she knew that Mrs. Zhan only regarded her as her son's future concubine, then she probably wouldn't feel that Mrs. Zhan was open-minded.
But she didn't know, so the influence on Mrs. Zhan was good.
"Mrs. Zhan, who is this young lady? Why don't you tell us about it? A plump lady in her thirties walked over, looked An Nan up and down inquiringly, and asked.
Mrs. Zhan smiled and introduced unabashedly: "This is my son's life-saving benefactor, Miss An Nan'an, the previous battle Zhizhou was very difficult, and I almost couldn't come back, if An Nan didn't happen to pass by and save Zhizhou, then I would really be a white-haired person to a black-haired person." ”
Hearing that Mrs. Zhan was protecting An Nan in and out of her words, the lady said meaningfully to Mrs. Zhan: "I heard that the young general recently talked about a new girlfriend, could it be this Miss An?" I wonder when we will be able to drink the wedding wine of Miss An and Major General Zhan? ”
She obviously knew about An Nan and Zhan Zhizhou for a long time.
Mrs. Zhan didn't expect her to expose the relationship between An Nan and her son so clearly, and also hinted that her son would marry An Nan as his wife, and the smile on her face suddenly faded a lot.
Although Mrs. Zhan likes An Nan very much and is satisfied with her becoming her son's woman, she doesn't intend to make her a woman, so she and her son can fall in love and talk openly, but they can't say it on this formal occasion, otherwise it will save the face of her son's future wife, and one of the young ladies present this time may be her daughter-in-law.
Now this lady directly said that she wanted to drink An Nan and Zhan Zhizhou's wedding wine, that is, she was deliberately looking for the fun of the Zhan family and stirring up the future marriage of the Zhan family.
Of course, Mrs. Zhan didn't like it, she said vaguely: "I will invite you to drink when I have the opportunity." ”
Then he pulled An Nan and left.
The lady looked at An Nan's back with deep meaning, shook her head, and sneered, of course she knew that it was impossible for Major General Zhan to marry a woman like An Nan, even if An Nan had excellent medical skills and was still a university teacher, but a family like the Zhan family must be married to someone who is in the right family.
An Nan didn't care about the inquiring eyes of the ladies and ladies present, as well as the mockery and disdain in the open and secret, she wouldn't marry Zhan Zhizhou, and she didn't need to engage in lady diplomacy, so what did it matter if they liked them or not?
It's just a group of canaries who are willing to be kept in captivity, but they are still willing to be like food, proud of it, and look down on people who are independent and have real talents.
However, those contemptuous eyes, when Zhan Zhizhou took the initiative to invite her to dance, turned into vague jealousy, resentment and dissatisfaction.
"I guess there's your ex-girlfriend among those young ladies who are glaring at me, look, they're about to burst into flames." An Nan approached Zhan Zhizhou's chest and said jokingly.
Zhan Zhizhou listened to her words, reflexively looked in the direction she indicated, and sure enough, he saw a few young ladies who didn't have time to hide their fierce eyes......
They didn't expect to look at Shangzhan Zhizhou, and immediately changed to a surprised or flattering smile, but before the previous jealous face could be removed, these two expressions were mixed together, and they became nondescript and ugly.
Zhan Zhizhou only glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze, spicy eyes, it is better to look at the woman in his arms and wash his eyes.
"Do you care? It's a pity that they are jealous no matter how jealous they are, I am not theirs anymore, I am yours now. Zhan Zhizhou lowered his head, his thin lips approached An Nan's ear, and said ambiguously, his voice was low and sexy, obviously deliberately exuding his hormones.
An Nan cooperated with his rhythm, lightly stepped on the dance steps, smiled at him charmingly and enchantingly, and said: "Yes, you are mine now, let them be a little more jealous, I like the way they hate me but can't kill me, it's very interesting." ”
"What a bad woman......" Zhan Zhizhou chuckled, and rubbed the hand on An Nan's waist slightly.
"Where are you bad? You're the bad man. An Nan said coquettishly, putting her hands around his neck, "It's you who hurt their hearts, but it's me who they hate, you let me carry the black pot for you, do you think you're bad enough?" ”
Zhan Zhizhou listened to her words and was stunned for a moment, yes, it was obvious that he didn't like them anymore, so he broke up with them, but why should they be jealous and resentful of a latecomer? It wasn't Annan who caused their relationship to break up.
What is the rationale of blaming an innocent person instead of blaming the culprit?
Zhan Zhizhou used to think that it was a romantic affair for those young ladies to fight for themselves, and even enjoyed them fighting each other for their attention, for the girlfriend he was dating, why did he turn a blind eye to such a deformed and weird causal relationship?
An Nan's words shocked Zhan Zhizhou's heart, and he suddenly entered a state of philosophical thinking from a flirtatious state.
An Nan felt his distraction, and didn't know the shock caused by his words in his heart, he just thought that he was thinking about something else, so he also restrained his behavior and didn't bother him out of voice.
After a while, Zhan Zhizhou came to his senses from his contemplation and asked, "Did someone bully you?" ”
With such an abrupt question, An Nan couldn't understand for a moment what he meant by bullying, so he looked at him suspiciously.
"You came to the drinking party, and someone targeted you and mocked you?" Zhan Zhizhou made it clearer.
An Nan looked at him in surprise, she didn't expect him to think of this problem, she was a little relieved, it seemed that this person was not so scumbag, but she didn't mean to sue, she just said lightly: "It's all small things, I don't pay attention to it." ”
Zhan Zhizhou's eyes darkened, and he said, "That's it." ”
He pulled Annan off the dance floor and began to take her to greet the celebrities in the political and business circles, and solemnly introduced her to them.
He introduced An Nan to those people with such fanfare, just to show that he attaches great importance to An Nan, and An Nan has his support behind him, and he is also showing them that his attitude towards An Nan in the future should be respectful and equal.
An Nan felt a little funny about his actions, he didn't understand that the more he expressed his attention to her so clearly, the more others looked down on her?
In the eyes of others, they will only think that she has good means, and Major General Zhan will be so fascinated that she will be treated as a top hat, so he will "pamper" her so much.
Even if they expressed their respect for themselves, it was only on the surface, in front of Zhan Zhizhou, and when they turned around, it was still impossible to treat An Nan as an equal person, Zhan Zhizhou still thought too simply.
After all, only if you have the strength to match them, can you get their attention and respect, rather than relying on a man's "favor".
