098: To each his own heart

So when Shen Jialan was discussing the contract with the female PD, the saleswoman who insulted Shen Jialan with her nostrils in the 4S store had been personally dismissed by her boss.

And when Shen Jialan talked about good things and took a taxi home, and was about to go upstairs in front of the corridor of her community, a middle-aged man wearing a British-style housekeeper uniform, his hair combed meticulously, and he was full of aristocratic housekeeper etiquette, and the middle-aged man who had been waiting there for a long time stretched out his hand and stopped her: "Miss Jialan." ”

The other party replaced her with a respectful voice, and the originally straight back bent slightly when he saw her.

"Butler Xi." Shen Jialan looked at the person standing in front of her, and was not much surprised, but a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. It doesn't seem too intimate, but it's not strange either.

At least, as soon as she clearly called out the other party's name, the face of Steward Xi, who was originally serious and serious, suddenly showed a little excitement: "I thought that after so many years, Miss Jialan didn't remember me for a long time, I didn't expect you to remember." ”

Hearing this, Shen Jialan just bent her eyes, but did not speak.

She has always had a good memory, and everyone who was a child remembers it all.

Not to mention, eight years ago, Steward Xi accompanied Xi Yan to appear in front of him.

Seeing that Shen Jialan was just smiling and not speaking, Steward Xi couldn't help but realize his gaffe, and immediately restrained his excitement: "I'm sorry, Miss Jialan, it's me who lost my temper." ”

Shen Jialan didn't care about Steward Xi's gaffe.

In fact, when I was a child, my parents were not there, except for Aunt Zhang, the one who spent the most time with her was Steward Xi.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Steward Xi is half of her father.

But after all, after so many years of separation, there is not much intimacy left when he was a child, so even if he still remembers the memories of his childhood, Shen Jialan has no way to fall into his arms and be coquettish like he did when he was a child.

"Is there something wrong with Steward Xi coming over?"

Steward Xi is in charge of the housekeeping of the Xi Mansion and generally does not appear outside.

So for him to appear in front of him, Shen Jialan was more or less curious about the purpose of his appearance.

After all, as early as eight years ago, she had already made it clear that it would be considered that Xi Jialan was dead, and she would not return to the Xi family.

Hearing this, Steward Xi showed a standard and extremely respectful expression: "Mr. knows that you are looking at the car, and you have not met a suitable one, so let me send you a car over." ”

As he spoke, he beckoned to the side.

Immediately, a few people in suits walked in a row with car keys.

"Car?" It's just something that happened in the morning, hearing this, Shen Jialan couldn't help frowning.

"Yes." Steward Xi replied, "I don't know what type of car Miss Jialan likes, so I prepared a few more." ”

Following his words, those in suits held the car keys in their hands and presented them in front of Shen Jialan.

Almost all of them are car keys for luxury cars such as Ferrari, Maybach, Porsche, Maserati, etc.

In such a humble community, there is such a group of obviously out of place people doing such things...... Shen Jialan can only be glad that it is still the working time of many people, and there are not too many people.

"No, I don't need a car, you can bring them back." Shen Jialan refused without thinking about it: "I said it, I am no longer the Xi family, so naturally I will not use anything from the Xi family again." ”

Regarding Shen Jialan's refusal, Steward Xi seemed very insistent: "This is Mr.'s order, I have to follow it, and you know that if I don't deliver it, Mr. will definitely blame me." ”

"You know, my husband is the head of the house, and I can't help but do what he tells me." As he spoke, he glanced up at the building behind Shen Jialan very vaguely: "And I don't think you want to stay here because of this, if Mr. Shen sees it, I'm afraid he will think too much about it then." ”

There is no doubt that Steward Xi is the one who knows best how to make Shen Jialan compromise.

Just two simple sentences, so that Shen Jialan no longer had no way to refuse.

If she doesn't accept it, Steward Xi won't leave at all.

Steward Xi doesn't leave, the longer he stays here, the greater the chance of being seen by Father Shen.

Shen Jialan didn't want Shen's father to think too much, so she finally compromised.

She glanced at the car keys worth tens of millions held in the hands of those people, and finally shook her head: "These cars are too expensive, I don't want them." ”

Shen Jialan is not hypocritical, according to her current income, she can't afford to buy this kind of luxury car at all. Driving this kind of car out, there is always a feeling of nondescript driving a luxury car by a poor person.

Probably had already anticipated Shen Jialan's thoughts, so Steward Xi didn't even move his eyebrows.

He just raised his hand, and immediately another group of people came over with the car keys: "Miss Jialan can choose slowly." ”

The implication is that there is still the next batch that this batch does not like.

Shen Jialan was so speechless that she didn't know what to say.

Glancing at the keys in those people's hands, she directly ordered a BMW car key with a slightly more affordable price of one million, "That's it." ”

Seeing that Shen Jialan finally ordered the car, a smile appeared on Steward Xi's face: "The car is parked in the underground garage of the community now, does Miss Jialan need to take a look?" ”

"No need." Shen Jialan didn't bother to investigate, how did he let so many luxury cars appear in the underground parking garage of the community waiting for her. She only hopes that after she chooses a car, Steward Xi can take people away immediately, and it is best not to appear in front of her again in the future.

Steward Xi probably also saw Shen Jialan's impatience, so he didn't stay any longer, but just said to her: "Since the matter has been done, then I won't stay longer." Mr. asked me to pass on a word to you: whenever you want to go back, the door of the Xi family will always be open for you. ”

Regarding his words, Shen Jialan was silent.

Silence represents a wordless rejection.

Seeing this, Steward Xi couldn't help but smile a little wryly.

After a pause, he said in his personal name: "Miss Jialan, after so many years, sir, he has always missed you very much.

No matter how angry you are with the lord and the lady, the gentleman will always treat you differently.

If you have time, I hope you can go back and see him.

Without you, Mr. has been lonely for so many years, and people have changed a lot.

Also, I think, he would love to see you, too. ”

As he spoke, he seemed to have just discovered his transgression, and immediately apologized in shame: "I'm sorry, I overpassed." ”

Steward Xi said, bending down towards Shen Jialan.

……

Looking at the figure of Steward Xi leading people away, Shen Jialan unconsciously clenched the key in her hand.

After a long time, she let out a long breath, and slowly exhaled the depression that had grown from the appearance of Steward Xi from her chest.

Pretending that nothing had happened, Shen Jialan took the car key and went up the stairs of the stairs.

Shen Jialan opened the door, and saw Shen's father sitting on the sofa in the living room looking at the door, like a sculpture, I don't know how long I have been doing it.

Seeing Shen Jialan, he was obviously stunned for a moment, as if he was a little incredulous: "Why did you come back?" ”

He had just stood by the window and seen the butler who had invited him over that day, the men in suits and the luxury cars that had slipped away.

He thought that they were here to pick up Shen Jialan.

After all, it is absolutely impossible for such a family to let the bloodline flow out, and Shen Jialan still has to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors after all.

Although when he met him at the airport before, Shen's father had already questioned how much the other party cared about Shen Jialan. Why didn't it appear more than ten years ago, but it didn't appear until now.

However, as early as that day, Shen's father has been constantly preparing for the loss of his daughter.

And that mental preparation was finally triggered when he just saw the so-called housekeeper.

Father Shen was like a wandering ghost, without thoughts, and he didn't know how he sat on the sofa.

was full of wonders if she was going to lose her daughter, Jialan didn't know her life experience, and if she knew, would she go back.

As a result, he didn't expect to see Shen Jialan.

Father Shen first had a moment of surprise, but then there was disappointment and uneasiness!

He thought that Shen Jialan knew his life experience and chose to return to his real family, so he came up to confess to himself.

"You ......" Father Shen's voice trembled.

He wanted to ask if you had come to say goodbye to Dad, but he couldn't say anything.

He was afraid that he would not be able to hold back his selfishness after he said it, and he couldn't help but ask her to continue to be his daughter.

But Father Shen clearly knew that he couldn't be so selfish.

A family like Shen Jialan's original, if it weren't for him and Shen's mother, she would have had a completely different life that many people dream of.

He shouldn't have stopped her!

"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Shen Jialan was in a bit of a mess because of the appearance of Steward Xi.

Seeing Father Shen like this, his first reaction was that his heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that Father Shen also knows her background?

Shen Jialan guessed in her heart, but she didn't dare to ask. For fear that if he asked, Father Shen, who didn't know about it, would know.

Shen's father didn't dare to ask Shen Jialan if he came up to say goodbye to him, for fear that he would lose his daughter forever if he asked, holding that bit of luck, he shook his head: "It's okay, I'm just ...... It's just that the body is a little uncomfortable. ”

Hearing this, Shen Jialan instantly asked with a worried face: "Where is it uncomfortable, Dad, are you okay?" Do you want me to take you to the hospital? ”

But he was rejected by Shen's father with a wave of his hand: "I'm fine, I'm just a little uncomfortable, just rest for a while." By the way, didn't you say that you were going to talk to someone about work, and why did you come back so quickly? ”

Hearing Shen's father's words, Shen Jialan, who was originally worried that Shen's father knew his background, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, "Well, I'll come back after the matter is over." ”

Shen Jialan said, still looking at Shen's father with some concern and said, "Dad, are you really okay, your face looks terrible, why don't I take you to the hospital?" ”

"No, no." Hearing that Shen Jialan didn't come to say goodbye to him, Shen's father's tense heart instantly relaxed a lot, and even his face soothed a lot: "I'm really fine, I just thought of your mother, and I felt a little uncomfortable." Just rest for a while. ”

He said, leaning back on the couch.

Shen Jialan saw that his face had improved, and she also breathed a sigh of relief.

It's okay.

It's good if you don't know.
