……

Sheng Zhennan just smiled and didn't say anything, the smile at this time was different from Mrs. Sheng's aggressiveness and pressing step by step at the tea banquet, Xia Nianzhi could feel it, the sharpness at that time was harsh, bitter and ruthless, and it was frightening; At this time, Sheng Zhennan's smile was extremely faint, and there was water in his eyes, as if he was vaguely glad to have been lost and regained.

If it weren't for the two facing each other at this time, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to see it at all, Sheng Zhennan was regretting it, as for what he regretted......

The veritable daughter of the Sheng family, charming but not vulgar, innate noble, has everything, what is there to regret?

"You have a good relationship with that woman in Luchi?"

Sheng Zhennan asked suddenly, Xia Nianzhi was stunned, and only then did she realize that the Lu Chi in her mouth was Mrs. Sheng's maiden name.

If you talk about feelings, three years ago, when those things didn't happen, it was naturally excellent, even her mother felt that she and Mrs. Sheng were more like biological mother and daughter, and in the years when she went abroad to study, Mrs. Sheng went back and forth to Los Angeles to see her, and she was more diligent than her mother.

"It's not the same time it used to be."

Sheng Zhennan sighed lightly, as if she was disdainful: "She has always been a good person, otherwise she would not be able to coax my father to designate her, a fisherwoman from the countryside, to become the mother of the Sheng family, and also made a will, the son of the Sheng family's house, his mother must be Luchi." ”

It turns out that back then, there was still this story?

Xia Nianzhi listened curiously, but the words 'can be a man', in her opinion, are also an incredible ability.

Unlike her, her original congenital temper followed her mother without any gentleness at all, and the day after tomorrow, her grandfather was pampered and pampered when he was alive, and he directly intensified, arrogant and capricious, lawless; At the beginning of taking over Xia's brokerage business, so far, in the days that are not long or short, I have suffered losses and wrestled in the world.

What's more, as the housewife of the Sheng family, she doesn't have the ability to have a lotus flower with a tongue and long sleeves and is good at dancing, how can she suppress the cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods in the clan?

Thinking of this, Xia Nianzhi's secret sense, Sheng Zhennan and Mrs. Sheng, perhaps in the early years, had old grievances, and it was difficult to extinguish the fire.

"The woman in Luchi is not simple, the beauty snake is old, but her cultivation is deeper."

Sheng Zhennan brushed his black and supple hair to the side, revealing a snow-white neck, turned sideways, and his eyes were shining.

Xia Nianzhi was looked at by her infatuatedly, and there was confirmation in her heart, Sheng Zhennan did not look at her, but through her, looked at another person who was connected to her blood, as for who it was, Xia Nianzhi believed that the two of them knew it well, and it was self-evident.

"I didn't fight her back then, or rather, we all lost back then, we lost completely, pitiful, embarrassed, sad......" As soon as the words changed, Sheng Zhennan pinched Xia Nianzhi's face again, and smiled very reluctantly: "That woman's proposal, will you agree?" ”

"What?"

"Recognize her as a mother."

The end of the sound, the twelve o'clock bell, thick and melodious, Chinese New Year's Eve fireworks illuminate the night, like a thick brush on the canvas graffiti, casual and brilliant, beautiful.

Xia Nianzhi was stunned, because she saw the unbearable sadness in Sheng Zhennan's eyes, which was completely different from the sharp, arrogant and conceited Sheng Zhennan at the tea banquet.

"Yo, the sparrow flies on the branch and becomes a phoenix, but you have to hug Mrs. Sheng's thigh, and there will be benefits in the future!"

Sheng Zhennan once again became the eldest lady of the Sheng family with mean words, Xia Nianzhi was puzzled, heard the footsteps of high heels behind him, turned around to look at the place where the sound of buckles came from, and saw the person, and immediately realized in his heart.

"Nianzhi, come here, the fireworks show is more beautiful and clear."

Madame Sheng beckoned to her, looking at her gently as always.

Xia Nianzhi suddenly felt ashamed, the suspicion she had just had about Mrs. Sheng, if Mrs. Sheng knew, she would probably be sad.

If you listen to it, you will be clear, and if you believe it, you will be dark.

In the story where Sheng Zhennan seems to be wrong, there is also the possibility of a coincidental misunderstanding; Even what Sheng Zhennan said, but it was just one side, where could it be compared to the bits and pieces of memories she and Mrs. Sheng had been together for the past ten years, she really existed, cared for her, and even called her Ma's elder for a while.

"Go ahead, I don't blame you."

Sheng Zhennan, who was behind him, spoke in a light tone, and when the words fell, he turned around; Xia Nianzhi didn't have the courage to turn back, and for a moment, she felt that she should feel guilty about Sheng Zhennan, and she didn't know what to do, but she took it for granted.

……

Xia Nianzhi followed Mrs. Sheng to the other side of the flower room, only to find that the flower room is a duplicate structure, the area is much larger than imagined, through the vine-wrapped ring door, it is a world, most of the Sheng family members are gathered here, lively is lively, but it can't be said, the loneliness in the depths of prosperity.

The two of them found a wicker chair and sat down, and the maid brought fruit and drinks with great discernment.

The more gorgeous the fireworks, the more lonely and lonely she becomes.

Looking away from the lonely shadow of the origin at his feet, and looking at the vine fence in the distance, Song Cheng held Sheng Zhen's arm, raised his eyes to look at him from time to time, and the happiness in his eyes was about to overflow; Even Shen Ranran, standing side by side with Lu Can, his sharp body a few hours ago was all restricted.

The fireworks were clearly extinguished, and the cheeks were dappled with light and shadow.

The light in Xia Nianzhi's eyes slowly dimmed, but when she tasted the juice, the nausea welled up, and immediately, she was relieved of all the good and bad.

She didn't have nothing, Bligh was still waiting for her at home, and the two little bastards on the other side of the ocean, although they always got into trouble and asked her to clean up, were also very troubled and willing; And soon, the little members who will be involved in her life......

As long as you hold on, as long as you hold on long enough, everything will be fine.

……

After Mrs. Sheng finished talking with a few people, she sat back next to Xia Nianzhi in the interval between the transitions, and whispered tentatively: "Nianzhi, do you remember the last time, on Marba Island, the sons of the various families who participated in the dinner?" Those are all carefully selected by Sheng Ma, and the family background and appearance are good, think about it, which one do you like, Sheng Ma will help you arrange it. ”

Xia Nianzhi was stunned: "??? ”

Mrs. Sheng patted her shoulder, stuffed a stack of photos into Xia Nianzhi's hand, and said comfortingly: "Don't be embarrassed, if your mother is still alive, at this time, she will definitely worry about your marriage." ”

Oh, it turns out that at that time, the unlucky guy she laughed at who was forced to go on a blind date was her......

Xia Nianzhi smiled embarrassedly: "Mrs. Sheng, I think I'm still young." ”

This excuse failed, Mrs. Sheng quoted scriptures and expounded that love does not distinguish between morning and evening, blocking Xia Nianzhi with nothing to say.

In the impression, Mrs. Sheng, who has never been difficult for others, is very insistent on Zhang Luo's blind date, and gently refused several times without success, Xia Nianzhi is also a little annoyed, good Chinese New Year's Eve, in order to listen to some news, she just fell into exhaustion to deal with the Sheng family's intrigues and deceit, and she simply did not live by herself.

"Mrs. Sheng, let me go back and think about it, it's not too early, it's too late, it's not safe on the road." Mrs. Sheng seemed to have something to say, Xia Nianzhi simply got up, took a thick stack of photos, and promised to go back and pick slowly. "I'll ask you for tea next time, Sheng Kwai Fong has hired a new chef, and the red velvet made is particularly good."

Step by step back, I don't know who it was, suddenly screamed, Xia Nianzhi hurriedly turned his head to look, only to see a dark Tibetan mastiff rushing up from the stairs, scurrying around in the flower room, followed by the servants who rushed up tried to catch it, not only in vain, but instead caused the scene to be messy, people turned over on their backs, and became a mess.

If this kind of scene was placed in the past, in front of Xia Nianzhi, where would it be Xiao Hei's turn to be presumptuous, go up directly and open the bow left and right, and beat the dog obediently and honestly; However, at this moment, she can't wait to burrow into a hole in the ground and hide immediately, God knows that she was bitten by a Tibetan mastiff, which is comparable to a catastrophe for her at this time.

Xia Nianzhi gave way step by step, looking for a safe position and preparing to leave the flower room, who knows, the little black Tibetan mastiff seemed to be greatly stimulated, his scarlet and bloodshot eyes stared straight at her, his nostrils were panting roughly, as if he was chasing prey, and after being tense, the Tibetan mastiff shook his tail violently without saying a word, revealing a mouth full of fangs, and pounced on her.

Hurriedly dodging, Xia Nianzhi panicked, for some reason, it was clear that the floor under his feet was still dry when he first came up, but when he was running for his life, he suddenly got wet and slippery, Xia Nianzhi didn't stand firmly, and planted the vines covered with thorns behind him.

……

"Be careful!"

"Be careful!"
