Chapter 167: Childhood sweethearts
There were so many people in the restaurant, but Shu Micheng still noticed Tang Xianya sitting by the window at a glance.
Unlike the women with heavy makeup that Shu Micheng had seen before, Tang Xian's elegant makeup and short hair with a shawl made her look downright and generous. A lotus-colored suit, plus a coat with high shoulder pads, set off her snow-white skin, without any sense of disobedience.
Look at her face again.
Tang Xianya is not a beauty, her facial features are put together, but they only make people feel very comfortable, and they are not amazing. However, her face is full of competence and elegance that makes people can't take their eyes off it. She has an outstanding temperament, so even if she just sits there quietly, people can't help but sneak a sideways look.
Shu Micheng walked forward with Mu Yuexi in her arms, and at this time, Tang Xianya also saw them, stood up from the chair, and waved and smiled at Mu Yuexi.
When she laughs, she shows her neat white teeth and her eyes narrowed slightly. She hugged and greeted Mu Yuexi, enthusiastic, but extremely natural. Such Tang Xianya made Shu Micheng feel uncomfortable in his heart.
"This is my sister-in-law, right? I'm sorry, I haven't seen Brother Yue Xi for a long time, and I have ignored you. Tang Xianya let go of Mu Yuexi, and then turned her head to look at Shu Micheng, with apologies on her face, but greeted Shu Micheng dignified and generously.
"It's okay." Shu Micheng's expression was indifferent, she naturally didn't care about that hug, what she cared about was the woman in front of her.
"Let me introduce, this is my wife Shu Micheng," Mu Yuexi stood aside and smiled, grabbed Shu Micheng's shoulders, and then continued to Shu Micheng, "She is Tang Xianya, we grew up together, have been living abroad, and have just returned to China. ”
Growing up together?
Is it a childhood sweetheart?
Although Shu Micheng greeted Tang Xianya with a smile, she was still thinking crankily in her heart. She is a copywriter, and in her works, there will often be this kind of 'childhood sweetheart' storyline, and she can even experience the mellow of their feelings.
And when Tang Xianya heard the name Shu Micheng, she felt a little familiar. But with such a beautiful face, Tang Xianyashuang was very sure that it was the first time they had met.
"Looking for oranges? What a name. Moreover, people are also beautiful, Brother Yuexi, you have a good eye. Tang Xianya praised Shu Micheng, but she didn't flatter, it sounded like she was sincere.
Mu Yue smiled proudly.
"Miss Tang is too polite." Shu Micheng is not good at 'touting' each other with people, so he only responds politely.
"Sit," Tang Xianya greeted Shu Micheng, but it seemed that Shu Micheng looked like an outsider, and Tang Xianya didn't seem to care, "Mi Cheng, don't call me Miss Tang, just call me Xianya just like Brother Yuexi." By the way, I can call you orange seeker, right? ”
That sentence 'sister-in-law' was made for Mu Yuexi to see, if she really kept shouting like this, Tang Xianya would scold herself to death in her heart.
"Absolutely." Shu Micheng replied, turning her head to look at Mu Yuexi.
He couldn't interject in the conversation between women, so he just lowered his head and ordered.
"Well, that sounds kind, doesn't it?" Tang Xianya was not pretentious in her gestures, and when she spoke, her eyes were also very sincere, "I didn't know the news of your marriage before I came back, so I hurriedly chose a gift for you yesterday, and I hope you don't dislike it." ”
As she spoke, Tang Xianya took out a delicate box from her bag and put it in front of Shu Micheng.
Even if it wasn't opened, Shu Micheng knew that it was a watch inside. Because the brand is so conspicuous and shiny LOGO is on the outside of the box.
"No, it's too expensive for me to take. But thank you very much for your kindness. Shu Micheng thought to herself, is this a common trait of their rich people, whether they are familiar or not, they spend money on gifts first?
"How can this be considered precious? I have known Brother Yue Xi for so many years, and we are closer than my brother and sister. Your marriage is a happy event, and I give you a gift to be happy. Tang Xianya smiled, these few words made Shu Micheng have no reason to refuse.
Shu Micheng didn't want to accept this watch, not to mention whether it was expensive or not, but she felt that she and Tang Xianya were really not so good. So, she set her sights on Mu Yuexi, hoping that he could help.
"Take it." It's just that after Mu Yuexi glanced at the watch, he said these three words lightly.
Shu Micheng opened her mouth and looked at Tang Xianya with some embarrassment.
"It's just that I'm sorry, I didn't say who I met before I came, so I didn't prepare any gifts." Shu Micheng sighed secretly in her heart, the gift in her hand made her feel a little heavy.
"It doesn't matter. I will stay for a long time when I return to China this time, and we will exchange courtesies. Tang Xianya's words are really comfortable to listen to, on the one hand, she gave a gift to please Mu Yuexi, but on the other hand, it didn't make Shu Micheng feel embarrassed.
Whether it is EQ or IQ, Shu Micheng feels that Tang Xianya is extremely not simple. It's just that she didn't show favor to Mu Yue like other women, nor did she exclude Shu Micheng.
She is like a strange flower among thousands of women, never competing for beauty, but secretly blooming. She has her own noble and elegant, and she also has a beautiful temperament that does not eat or fireworks. Whether it was talking to Mu Yuexi or joking with Shu Micheng, she was calm and calm.
In short, when Shu Micheng attaches so much importance to another woman, it has already proved that her sense of crisis is not groundless.
"Brother Yuexi, how is my aunt now? Are you okay? Tang Xianya began to chat with Mu Yuexi.
"It's good. She thinks of you a lot. Mu Yuexi would smile at Tang Xianya and tell her about her family.
"I'm also thinking about my aunt's body. After so many years, I miss her very much. By the way, since I went abroad, I have never eaten such delicious fish as my aunt, and now that I think about it, I am hungry. Tang Xianya's words seemed to be just homely, but Shu Micheng was uncomfortable hearing it.
"My mom doesn't cook much now, but if you go, she won't let anyone else do it."
"Well, I think so. Also, do you remember the apple tree we used to steal and eat back then......"
Next, it was the time for Mu Yuexi and Tang Xianya to catch up, and Shu Micheng sat quietly on the side. It's not that she's disappointed, it's that she can't interject at all.
She also kept telling herself in her heart that Mu Yuexi just regarded Tang Xianya as a friend, they hadn't seen each other for many years, and it was normal for them to meet now and say something interesting in the past. As for the sour feeling in her heart, she only deliberately hid it and pretended that everything was normal.
It's just that Shu Micheng forgot that sometimes self-deception doesn't solve anything.
"Ah, look at me, I just care about talking to you, and I'm not happy to look for oranges." Just as Shu Micheng was thinking about these things in her heart, Tang Xianya suddenly spoke.
Tang Xianya's joke made Shu Micheng retract his thoughts, but his face did not show an inner struggle.
