Chapter 18 Falling in love is in the hands of others

"And what are you going to do now?" Su Tao asked Zhou Xiaonan.

"Let's stay in a hotel today. I'll be waiting for two days to find a way to rent a house. Zhou Xiaonan replied helplessly.

"But you didn't have any luggage with you, don't you have to buy everything again when you stay in the hotel? You can live in my house today, at least the daily necessities are complete. Su Tao still strongly invited Zhou Xiaonan to her apartment.

"It's okay, there's no rush to stock up on these bits and pieces, and it's not going to be needed right away. I'm still staying in my own hotel today. Tomorrow I will go to your community to see if there is a suitable house to rent. You have a newly built community in recent years, and there are more idle houses. How about I rent a suitable apartment, preferably closer to your home? Anyway, looking at this way, I won't be able to go back for a while, and I still have to prepare for a long-term war of resistance. Zhou Xiaonan said slowly.

"Since you've said so, well." Su Tao stuck out her tongue.

Zhou Xiaonan nodded, and as he spoke, he took out his mobile phone and called the front desk of Shangri-La Hotel to book a suite for a week. Zhou Xiaonan put down his phone, and Su Tao suddenly asked, "Hey, which branch of Shangri-La Hotel did you order?" ”

"Which one? It must be the one near Central Park. It's close to the school. Zhou Xiaonan said without hesitation.

"Central Park? By the way, I know there is a book bar next to the central park, the desserts inside are delicious, and there are many cats in it, do you want to go? Su Tao asked expectantly.

"I'll stay with you if you want to go." Zhou Xiaonan said nonchalantly.

"Okay, let's go, I've got to drink hot chocolate today." Su Tao said with a smile.

"Eh, I still drink chocolate, and I'm not afraid of being fat." Zhou Xiaonan sneered cheaply.

"Yo, are you underwhelmed?" Su Tao pretended to be angry, and the two walked to the side of the road and stopped a taxi casually, driving directly in the direction of Central Park.

Shao Huan lay on the recliner by the pool and watched the sun gradually turn west, and the afterglow of the setting sun slowly sprinkled on his body. He saw the crimson sky and the dark shadows, and the smoke that spread out was the center of the scroll, which was very dreamlike.

He felt as if he had seen somewhere: if a person misses you, you will dream of her. But for such a long time, Su Ying never appeared in her dreams. She seems to have faded out of her life like this, and she disappears suddenly, just as she appeared out of nowhere. This kind of thought made Shao Huan feel a little frightened, it seemed that nothing was immortal, nothing could not be separated, no matter how many vows and mountains were made, they seemed quite powerless in the face of time and life and death, he had met many people, but in the end he could only be left with himself.

"Hey, Xiaohuan, you're quite laid-back." A handsome middle-aged man came over and said to Shao Huan, "Will you come over later?" ”

"What?" Shao Huan impatiently took off the headphones and looked at Shao Wendong, the chairman of the Shaw Group, who was gradually approaching his father.

"Listen, I'm thinking about next summer. I want you to intern at Uncle Jiang's company. I originally wanted you to come to our company, after all, it is a family business, and it is not a bad thing for you to get familiar with it early. But I think if you are in your own company, you may be more slack, it is better to go to your Uncle Jiang's company, anyway, you are not an outsider, you can still learn something. You can start by drawing up your own resume......"

"Don't go!" Shao Huan closed his eyes in annoyance. What kind of broken reason is this, when I'm a fool? Anyone can see his mind, and what will be slacking off in his own company is just a disguise. The real purpose is just to let himself or the Jiang family get in touch with each other and please Jiang Xizhen's father, Jiang Shanyue. The decoration business of the Jiang family occupies most of the market share in Yangcheng, and the Shao family cannot compete in decoration, so they want to merge and acquire Jiang's company to form a real estate-decoration assembly line service, and completely sit in a dominant position in this field. However, Jiang Shanyue is not willing to give this piece of business to others casually, and he does not believe in the later dividends promised by Shaw Brothers. Shao Wendong has always wanted to use the marriage of the Shao Jiang family to win over Jiangshanyue, and then realize the merger and acquisition of the Jiang family. Shao Huan was really fed up with his hypocritical face, and he didn't have any interest in Jiang Xizhen's little girl at all, so he was quite impatient as soon as he talked about these things.

Shao Wendong was so angry that his face turned blue and he was about to have a seizure. Zhou Xuelan, the mother who came to call Shao Huan to eat, hurriedly played a round, "Go to dinner, what are you angry with the child." Let's go, let's eat. Xiaohuan, you're also coming for dinner. ”

In the evening, at the wide dining table in the living room of the Shao family. Shao Jing went to the party, only her parents and Shao Huan, and the atmosphere was particularly embarrassing.

"I asked him to prepare for an internship at the Jiang Group for his sake, I just wanted him to cheer up about certain things......" Shao Wendong said to Zhou Xuelan while looking at Shao Huan, but Shao Huan still didn't react, and he didn't even move his eyebrows.

"You always want him to do those things that interest you......" Zhou Xuelan was helpless, but still chose to protect her son.

"No, whatever, he's got to do something. If he doesn't have a specific interest, he doesn't have any goals. He is still so young, can he spend the rest of his life aimlessly? Shao Wendong's tone became stern.

"I think we have to be patient with the kids. Give him a moment. Zhou Xuelan continued to round the field.

"I know your ex-girlfriend is dead, and it's understandable that you're in a bad mood. I also give you plenty of time to buffer, but that doesn't mean it's infinite. You have to keep living, you can't bring these negative emotions all the way into your life. Shao Wendong didn't mean to stop at all.

Shao Huan put down his chopsticks impatiently, "Whether my girlfriend dies or not, I won't marry Jiang Xizhen!" Even if she is the only woman left in the world, I will not marry her! ”

"You are presumptuous!" Shao Wendong was so angry that he dropped his chopsticks.

Zhou Xuelan hurriedly persuaded, "Lao Shao, if you have anything to say, what kind of anger you have." She turned to Shao Huan on the side again, "You kid, how did you talk to your father?" We just let you go to the internship, and we didn't force the Jiang family's daughter to do anything. Why are you so excited? ”

"Alright. Don't sing red face, white face. I don't know what you're thinking? It's obvious that the drunkard doesn't mean to drink. What do you keep saying about internships, but you don't actually want me to please Jiang Xizhen?! ”

"You said that the daughter of the Jiang family is not worthy of you. She is beautiful, gentle and considerate, her family can also help your career, and he has only you in his heart since he was a child. Where can't you compare to the Su Ying you liked before? What else are you not satisfied with? ”

"Since she's so good, why don't you marry her yourself! Speaking of which, she still wants to calculate her family's money, so why pretend to think about me! Shao Huan said indifferently.

"You!" Shao Wendong overturned the plate on the table in a fit of anger, picked up a chair and threw it at Shao Huan, Zhou Xuelan hurriedly went to stop it, but the chair had already flown out. Shao Huan didn't dodge, he took this blow stiffly, sneered, and turned to leave.

In the cat language book bar, Zhou Xiaonan and Su Tao held a cup of hot chocolate and sipped it in small sips. Zhou Xiaonan had several cats hanging on his body, one on his shoulder, one on his clothes, one on his lap, and even a petite little gray cat coiled on his head. Not only Su Tao, but even the boss He Zihan had to admire his good cat fate, and even wondered if he secretly hid catnip. He Zihan stood behind the bar, looked at Zhou Xiaonan, who was surrounded by cats and at a loss, from a distance, and turned his gaze to Su Tao, who was smiling on the side, clearly perceiving that she was different from her sister Su Ying. Su Ying raised her eyebrows with a bit of naivety and vicissitudes, her ambiguous smile was always incomprehensible, I don't know if under such a amorous smile, what is suppressed is gentleness or coldness, or both, Su Ying's smile is always a little charming beyond life itself; In comparison, Su Tao is so pure that she is a little bland, of course she is still beautiful, but the beauty of calm and dignified and well-mannered, from her face, in addition to the proper emotions that should be there, you can't catch any superfluous expressions, in her, there is no such cold, contradictory and messy temperament as her sister Su Ying. Even such similar faces can have such a very different temperament, interesting, really interesting.

"What? Are you with He Yang?" Zhou Xiaonan exclaimed quietly, almost shaking off all the cats.

"Shh-" Su Tao hurriedly went to cover his mouth, "Eh, you should be quiet." ”

"How can you be with him?" Zhou Xiaonan's face was full of puzzlement and doubts, "How could you fall in love with such a man?" ”

"You are really, I knew to tell you that you would be this reaction, so I hesitated for so long," Su Tao said, reaching out to hug the little gray cat on top of Zhou Xiaonan's head, afraid that Zhou Xiaonan would make such a big move and drop the kitten, but the little gray cat was obviously quite nostalgic for Zhou Xiaonan's warm head and soft hair, and the little paws hooked Zhou Xiaonan's hair, which made Zhou Xiaonan scream in pain, "Su Tao, I haven't said anything yet, are you going to retaliate against me like this?" ”

Su Tao said helplessly, "Go, go, who took revenge on you?" You tell me, why do you have to run on He Yang? What's wrong with him? ”

Zhou Xiaonan approached Su Tao and said, "Then Miss Su, can you tell me first, where is he doing?" So good that you look at it differently, and you promise it in person? ”

"He's gentle and kind, not as aggressive and inflammatory, like the others in this school, and he's always there when I need it, taking care of me and comforting me. Isn't that enough? Su Tao thought of He Yang and smiled warmly.

"Oh my God, he's not going to be stalking you, is he? How else could he always be there when you need him? ”
