Chapter 78: The person who was just facing the sister-in-law appeared
Shen Mi hastily got dressed. followed Xi Lie downstairs, but as soon as he walked to the corner of the stairs, he looked at Xi Chongjin, who had not been seen for a long time, with a look of astonishment.
She was stunned, and suddenly remembered that she hadn't worn a hat and a wig yet, so she went bald!
For a while, the atmosphere was a little awkward.
"Grandpa, why did you come here all of a sudden?" Xi Lie glanced at Shen Mi in panic and quickly greeted him.
Wang Yue was a little stunned, "This, this is the master?" Oh my God, I don't know! ”
Xi Chongjin's face turned pale, ignoring Xi Lie's greetings, and his eyes stared at Shen Mi, who was eager to find a place to hide, and he couldn't get angry.
"Lie'er, this, what's going on!!" He stretched out his finger, pointed at Shen Mi tremblingly, and asked breathlessly.
"Grandpa, me, I burned my hair before, and I wanted to grow my hair again, so I shaved it!" Shen Mi had an idea, and casually made an excuse.
"It's rumored that my granddaughter-in-law is terminally ill, I'm just here to see it today, this, I can't believe your explanation!" Xi Chongjin's old face was pale, his eyes were sad, and he was looking at Shen Mi with an embarrassed face in disbelief.
Seeing that he was unrelenting, Shen Mi couldn't help but glance at Xi Lie for help.
"Grandpa, how could Mi'er lie to you! Look, isn't she good, where does she look like she has a terminal illness? Xi Lie tugged at the corners of his mouth, pulled Shen Mi to him, and pinched her arm with his big hand, signaling her to cheer up.
"That's right, grandpa, I'm in good spirits!" She smiled, leaned in front of Xi Chongjin, and was about to help the stiff old man to sit down on the sofa.
"Okay, why didn't you go home for so long? Grandma has been talking to you so many times! Xi Chongjin's eyes were full of suspicion, a pair of sturdy eyes swept over her several times, but he still couldn't look directly at her big bald head, and a trace of doubt lingered between his eyebrows.
"That's right, some time ago I drove out and was rear-ended, and I was a little injured, so I recuperated for a few days, and I went to the old house after I was ready!" Shen Mi smiled smartly, her big eyes were shining, even if Xi Chongjin had a big temperament, looking at her flattering appearance, she had to sigh heavily.
Seeing that the old man's doubts were finally dispelled, she also breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Xi Lie.
"Grandpa came to see me, did he? Have you eaten breakfast? I'll tell someone to cook! Shen Mi smiled and glanced at Wang Yue, Wang Yue understood, and wanted to retreat and order someone to cook.
"By the way, Sister Wang, grandpa has high blood sugar, don't have sweets and starch." She intimately admonished.
"Lie'er, I have something to tell you." Xi Chongjin said, stood up, and raised his chin at Xi Lie. Hearing this, Xi Lie patted Shen Mi's shoulder, then got up, and helped Xi Chongjin to the side hall, Shen Mi was very insightful and didn't follow, but just watched their grandfather and grandson disappear around the corner.
Xi Lie helped his old man to the side and sat down, and then sat down on the side.
"Grandpa, what are you looking for me?" He couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
Xi Chongjin frowned, as if he was thinking about some important issue.
"Grandpa?"
"Hmm. Now it's just the two of us, you can tell me the truth! Xi Chongjin raised his eyes and glanced at Xi Lie lightly.
"Grandpa, what do you mean by that?" Xi Lie blinked and asked puzzled.
Xi Chongjin snorted coldly, "The road I have traveled in my life is more than the rice you have eaten!" Want to lie to me? Say, what the hell is going on with the granddaughter-in-law! ”
Xi Lie frowned when he heard this, and glanced at the old man weakly.
"Grandpa, this ...... Mi'er, she's really fine! ”
Last time, because of Shen Mi's big belly, the old man was so angry that his blood pressure soared and he went to the hospital, and he really didn't dare to talk nonsense to let the old man suffer again.
"Do you have to ask me?" Xi Chongjin was displeased.
"Grandpa, it's really okay now, Mi'er will be fine in the future, don't worry about this." Xi Lie explained worriedly.
"Then tell me if it's true that my granddaughter-in-law is sick! Are those rumors on the Internet true? "Xi Chongjin is unrelenting.
In desperation, Xi Lie nodded, "But it will be able to operate soon, and it will be fine after the operation." But grandpa, I wonder where you heard all this? ”
"Relatives and friends are almost bursting on the phone! Fortunately, no one at home said much, otherwise it would reach your grandmother's ears, but something would happen again! Xi Chongjin said, sighing heavily, "Really? Will it be fine if the surgery is done? ”
"Well, if you don't believe me, you can ask Uncle Yang."
"It's also a bitter granddaughter-in-law, you should take good care of her during this time! I'll go back first! Xi Chongjin said, standing up tremblingly, "By the way, what's going on over there in Jinxuan?" Nothing happened. ”
Xi Lie then stood up, and quickly supported him, "I don't know yet." Grandpa, when Mi'er's surgery is done, I have something I want to tell you about. ”
Xi Chongjin nodded worriedly, and walked slowly to the living room, Shen Mi was staring at him with blinking eyes, and glanced at Xi Lie uncertainly.
"Grandpa is leaving." Xi Lie said.
"Skipping breakfast? It's almost ready. Shen Mi asked in a low voice.
Xi Chongjin shook his head, "Don't eat, you have to go back, you guys rest, I'm leaving." ”
After sending the old man away, Shen Mi pinched Xi Lie worriedly, "Why is Grandpa's expression like this?" Did you say it all? ”
"Grandpa knows it, you can't hide it, anyway, you're about to have surgery, and you'll be a healthy granddaughter-in-law in the future, don't worry." Xi Lie patted her shoulder, the autumn wind outside today was even worse, blowing Shen Mi's head was cool and cold, she shrunk her neck, glared at Xi Lie angrily, and went back to the room irritably.
When it was about to have breakfast, Jason and Chen Ming came back from exercising outside, and when they saw Shen Mi, they smiled and respectfully called their sister-in-law.
"Yo, here comes the guest!" Jason raised an eyebrow in delight and raised his chin as he rushed to the door. Shen Mi saw that it was Xi Yingyue, who he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Sister-in-law." She screamed.
Xi Yingyue's eyebrows were tired, and when she saw them, she just waved her hand and sat down on the side with a big grin.
"Everything?"
"Sister-in-law came just in time, let's have breakfast together!" Shen Mi smiled and welcomed her into the restaurant, Xi Yingyue looked at her head for a long time with a pair of eyes, and finally smiled and didn't speak.
The most excited is Jason.
"Long time no see, sister-in-law, you don't ask me out for a drink, I play with this group of old men every day, and I have to eat dog food at every turn!" As soon as Xi Yingyue sat down, Jason came to the side and began to complain.
Xi Lie glanced at him faintly, and finally sat down on the other side of Xi Yingyue helplessly, and pulled a chair for Shen Mi.
"It's not bad, it's better than the one before. It's quite far by car. Xi Yingyue blinked and said to Xi Lie.
"In order to let Mi'er concentrate on recuperation, plus there are many people in the family, it is just right here." Xi Lie replied.
"By the way, leave a room for my sister-in-law!" Jason said coldly, "It's good that my sister-in-law can come and live often." ”
immediately received several disgusted glances, so he had to shut up stupidly.
"Is there any decanting soup?" Shadow Moon glanced at the nutritious meal in front of her and frowned impatiently.
Xi Lie's eyes flashed, "Sister-in-law, did you go to drink for another night?" ”
"Idle is idle." Xi Yingyue raised her eyebrows, and said lightly, which made Xi Lie unhappy for a while.
"When people reach middle age, they have nothing to pursue, of course, happiness is the most important!" Jason smiled doggedly and threw a wink at Xi Yingyue, "Sister-in-law, there aren't many people like me who understand you, right?" ”
Xi Yingyue lazily raised her eyebrows and took a noncommittal sip of hot milk.
"You're a bit too much, you actually want to be the uncle of the eldest brother?" Chen Ming sighed faintly on the side, and joked angrily.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with it! Even one day, we're still good brothers. Jason smiled and waved his hand, as if immersed in his own beautiful fantasies.
"Eat." Xi Lie frowned coldly and glanced at him.
After eating, Xi Yingyue proposed to take Shen Mi out to let off steam, Shen Mi readily agreed, and under Xi Lie's watchful eye, she changed into a warm sweater and jacket, and then was approved to follow her out.
"Sister-in-law, I've been suffocating to death for the past few days, but it's good that you're here." Shen Mi straightened the long wig Jason gave her in the mirror, and said to Xi Yingyue gratefully.
"I heard that you are going to have surgery, and Lie'er should be so worried. When your surgery is over, my sister-in-law will take you for a walk abroad, how about our handsome guy on a yacht? Xi Yingyue helped her straighten her wig, and the old god said on the ground.
Shen Mi sneered.
The foreign tour is good, the yacht is good, and the handsome guy is still forgotten. In case she provokes Xi Lie, she is not an opponent.
"Sister-in-law, where are you going to take me? Won't you see anyone again? Shen Mi saw that the car had been driving towards the city, and couldn't help muttering.
"What, sister-in-law, I have nothing else to do except take you around to see handsome guys?" Xi Yingyue pursed her lips and sneered silently.
Shen Mi shrugged his shoulders and didn't answer.
"Remember the guy who introduced you last time?"
"Who?" Shen Mi blinked and subconsciously asked.
"It's Wenwen's blind date! Gu Siyuan? ”
Shen Mi was stunned, and then reacted, the last time the three of them had eaten together, "Why are you looking for him again?" ”
"It's not me looking for him, it's people looking for me. Seeing that you are idle, I will take you to eat and drink. Xi Yingyue raised her eyebrows and said lightly.
Shen Mi sneered, she had just come out of the house with a full meal.
That's it, Xi Yingyue must have her reasons for taking her, so it's better to be respectful than to obey her fate and follow to take a look.
The two came to a café, where Gu Siyuan was already waiting.
is wearing a well-fitting dark gray suit, with a chic waistcoat inside, and the whole person is quite a handsome man.
Seeing them coming, Gu Siyuan thoughtfully wanted to beckon them to order something, but Shen Mi didn't touch the coffee much because of physical reasons, so he had to hold a glass of lemonade and drink it silently.
"I heard you're sick, but it's good that you seem to be in good spirits." Gu Siyuan saw her and smiled politely.
Shen Mi heard some surprise between the lines, so he had to pull the corners of his mouth weakly, "That, I just came out to let the wind go, I didn't mean to disturb you." ”
Gu Siyuan shook his head again and again, "It's okay if you come, I'm afraid that it will disturb your rest." ”
"Okay, let's say something, my nephew and daughter-in-law don't bother to listen to these polite words at all." Xi Yingyue's slender jade fingers tapped on the table and urged impatiently.
Gu Siyuan smiled at this time, and glanced at the two of them without saying anything.
"I'll tell you the truth, I like Miss Song a lot."
Hearing this, Shen Mi silently glanced at Xi Yingyue and found that she was also looking at her with the old god presence.
"During this time, I called her, but she didn't answer much, and she didn't reply to me when she sent text messages, I wondered if I was done playing, but I received a call from Uncle Song again."
"And then?" Xi Yingyue raised her eyebrows.
"Roughly speaking, urging me and Shuwen to settle things." Gu Siyuan said, sighing faintly, his black and white eyes darkened, "I'm very conflicted now." Thinking that my sister-in-law has a deep relationship with their family, I want to ask you: Is there something wrong with the Song family? ”
Xi Yingyue smiled when she heard this.
"If there is anything going on in the Song family, you should know better than me! Why did you ask me? Like a person, don't you have to find a way to understand her all? ”
Shen Mi pursed her lips and didn't say anything, just listened silently to the conversation between the two like a person who had nothing to do.
"As you know, my situation is not bad, and there are several families waiting for marriage before. I always felt that I had no face in making such a fuss, and my father did not allow me to practice myself like that. Gu Siyuan sighed, with deep helplessness in his eyes.
Shen Mi doesn't understand the feelings of these people very well.
She naturally doesn't understand why they like someone, but they don't tear down their faces to chase them, but they are waiting for the other to take the first step.
Feelings are originally very simple and pure things, and they think about them in a utilitarian and complex way.
"So you want me to help you inquire, what does Wenwen mean?" Xi Yingyue raised her eyebrows and quickly grasped the point of her words.
"Does it bother you?" Gu Siyuan asked politely.
"Let me see how it goes. I'll be in touch if I find out. Xi Yingyue said noncommittally, her eyes shining with an incomprehensible luster.
Shen Mi looked at her, she didn't know what medicine she was selling in her gourd, and now she didn't know that the Xi family and the Song family were in a bad situation because of Xi Lie, so it was really unexpected for her to agree like this.
"Well, thank you in advance." Gu Siyuan said and stood up leisurely, "I still have to go to the company to host a morning meeting, I have to go first." ”
Xi Yingyue waved her hand with a big grin, signaling that he could go.
Shen Mi saw people leaving in a hurry, and couldn't help but look at Xi Yingyue suspiciously.
"Sister-in-law, why do I think something weird." She muttered.
"It's not strange. That's what a businessman is. What love, love, funny. In the entire Cloud City, if there is a girl in the Xi family, it must be the object that these sons and brothers are chasing and rushing to marry. Xi Yingyue took a sip of coffee nonchalantly and looked at the pedestrians outside the floor-to-ceiling window in a daze.
"Song Shuwen said a few words last time I came to the house, and now there has been no news for more than half a month, shouldn't there really be anything?" Shen Mi thought about it, and felt extremely uncomfortable, and couldn't help but tell Xi Yingyue what happened at that time.
"I haven't moved for so long, Song Jingxuan really swallowed this breath?" Xi Yingyue was speechless, and couldn't help but laugh.
"I don't think it's possible anyway." Shen Mi shook his head.
"I'll give Wenwen a call." Xi Yingyue said, took out her mobile phone and dialed Song Shuwen's phone, which rang for a long time, but no one answered.
She didn't give up and hit another one, but it still didn't work.
"Nothing will happen, will it?" Xi Yingyue frowned and muttered.
Shen Mi also became nervous, and blinked worriedly, "Sister-in-law, don't you want to go to the Song family to have a look?" Anyway, Song Shuwen, she also called you sister-in-law......"
"It doesn't matter, I'll give Song Jingxuan a call."
After a while, the phone was connected, and Song Jingxuan's cold voice came from there.
"What about the literati? I haven't seen her for a long time, and I miss her a little. Xi Yingyue didn't have any extra nonsense, and said straight to the point.
"I'm really sorry, Wenwen is not at home, and recently went to other places." Song Jingxuan said politely.
"To the field? That's right. She didn't answer the phone, and I thought I had some kind of grudge against me! Xi Yingyue tugged at the corners of her mouth and insinuated.
"Not really, after all, you didn't do anything. Anything else? It's okay, I'm going to get busy. Song Jingxuan said and hung up the phone in a hurry.
"Don't bring your phone with you when you go to the field? I don't know if Song Jingxuan is confused, or if he thinks I can't carry a knife. Xi Yingyue was speechless with a cold face.
"What now, sister-in-law?" Speaking of which, although Song Shuwen had never been at odds with her before, she was really worried at this time.
"Don't worry, Wenwen will contact me soon. I know Song Jingxuan too well. Xi Yingyue patted her on the shoulder, and the old god said on the ground.
Although Shen Mi was a little foggy, he didn't ask any more.
"By the way, niece and daughter-in-law, I want to change the car, go, and accompany my sister-in-law to have a look." Xi Yingyue said, stood up, grabbed her arm without saying a word, and pulled her to leave.
After a while, the old god Xi Yingyue was on the spot and took her to the largest car sales center in Cloud City.
"Miss Xi, you're here." When the account manager saw her, he smiled all over his face, rubbed his little hands and greeted her.
Another woman in uniform followed up and respectfully took her bag.
"Miss Xi, you came at the right time, you just came to a supercar recently, with a cool appearance and considerable performance, there are only three cars in the entire Cloud City!" The account manager smiled and welcomed her aside, pointing to a red convertible car on the side and explaining excitedly.
"Three?" Xi Yingyue raised her eyebrows, as if she was not very satisfied.
"Yes, yes, yes, and only one is currently booked, the customer said that he came to pick up the car recently, if you start today, it will be the only one in Cloud City."
Shen Mi glanced at the price card standing on the side, and secretly counted how many zeros there were in the back, and couldn't help but be speechless.
Just when she sighed that tens of millions of cars were about to be changed, Xi Yingyue had already opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat in a chic manner.
She looked outside and felt that Xi Yingyue was indeed a good match for this kind of booming car, this car was as chic and cool as her person, and there was an atmosphere that people couldn't help but sigh with.
"Not bad." Xi Yingyue said, raising her chin at Shen Mi, "What do you think?" Niece and daughter-in-law. ”
Shen Mi nodded, if you have money, everything is good......
While the two were looking at the car, the uniform beauty just now trotted over and whispered a few words to the sales supervisor, whose expression was stunned and his face was embarrassed.
Shen Mi heard footsteps on the side, and when she turned her head, she saw a tall man with sunglasses and a peaked cap striding towards this side.
The supervisor who was smiling all over his face just now looked like a great enemy, and his face was full of embarrassment.
"I'll pick it up." The man said lightly, making the director's face even more ugly.
"Well, the money you ordered hasn't arrived yet...... the supervisor wiped the beads of sweat from his head and sneered.
"Isn't that it?" The man slowly pointed to the car Xi Yingyue was sitting in, with some unpleasant doubts in his tone.
"This, this color system ......"
The man didn't take off his sunglasses, but Shen Mi felt a chill spray out through his sunglasses, which frightened the supervisor on the side and closed his mouth stupidly.
"That's what I want." He said coldly.
"Tsk." Xi Yingyue stepped out of the car with long legs, glanced at the man sharply with phoenix eyes, and motioned to the little sister on the side to give her the bag.
She opened her purse and pulled a card out of it.
"I want it. Full amount. ”
The old man paced two steps on the ground and came to Xi Yingyue. Shen Mi looked at his tall figure and was a lot taller than the slender Xi Yingyue, and couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"I'm sorry. I've already paid the deposit. The man said slowly, with a strong sense of oppression in his tone, which made Xi Yingyue's eyes flash.
Shen Mi couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat.
Since she married into the Xi family, it was the first time she had seen someone who dared to talk to her sister-in-law head-on.
"Oh~ then ...... you mean?" Xi Yingyue raised her eyes slowly, the end of her words was slightly raised, and although there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, her eyes flashed with a little excitement.
It's probably been too long since she had an opponent, so she's a little excited?
"Money, everybody has it. You bow your head to me and apologize for your unruliness, I can buy it and give it to you. The man smiled, but there was a terrible coldness in his tone.
When has Shen Mi seen this kind of battle, she is really afraid that after a while, the two of them will get up, and there will be no grass in a radius of ten miles.
"You call me sister, I'll give you two." Xi Yingyue is not a vegetarian, and she actually started throwing money at each other in front of a few poor dogs.
"Sister-in-law, that, I'm a little tired, why don't we go back first?" Shen Mi was terrified when he watched from the sidelines, and couldn't help but interrupt.
The man paused when he heard this, obviously attracted by the sudden interjection of this thin monkey spirit who had never had a sense of existence.
He twisted his head lightly, and Shen Mi could see his thin figure in his sunglasses, with an embarrassed smile on his face.
When she was thinking about what to say again, the man hooked his lips and smiled, and said indifferently:
"Is that you?"
