Before getting off work on Friday, Shu Wan received a call from his mother Ding Xiang.

"Hey-Mom."

......On the other end of the phone, Ding Xiang was stunned for two seconds.

"Hey!"

"Oh, Wan, listen to your aunt-"

"Huh?" Frown.

"Aunt Wei, Qi Tong's mother, Ding Wei. Listen to your aunt, you live next door with Qi? ”

"Uh-huh, it's the right door." What's the situation? Is there a situation?

"That's right. Mom's friend, you haven't seen much. We have a dinner tonight. Would you like to come too? ”

"Okay."

"Huh? Oh, that dare is good, that dare is good. I'll send you the location of the hotel in a moment. ”

"Okay."

"Ah, that, that dare ......"

"Mom, if you don't have anything else, I'll hang up first. I'm still busy here. ”

"Okay, good, goodbye."

"Bye-bye."

Hanging up the phone, Shu Wan thought for two seconds, it turned out that once that word was spoken, it was not so awkward.

Ding Xiang on the other end of the phone, his face was full of joy, and he almost jumped three feet high. Her voice trembled, and she said, "Zhihua, do you know what Wan called me just now? ”

"What?"

"Mom."

"Oh-huh? It's true? Did you hear that right? ”

"Absolutely. She also called twice. ”

"Is that going to call me Daddy too?"

"Why don't you give her a call too?"

"Forget it. I don't know what irritated her......"

"Hey, hey, how are you talking? After so many years, it's time to call it. I thought I wouldn't be able to look forward to it in my life. God has eyes and told me to wait. ”

The address of the meal is set in an old restaurant in an alley.

Shu Wan drove along the navigation and finally found it.

"Isn't it hard to find? Your dad said he was going to pick you up, but you wouldn't let you. Ding Xiang was waiting at the door, and when he saw Shu Wan, he immediately came over and said.

Shu Wan looked at his mother seriously for the first time. 80% of his own appearance follows his mother. On this face, which is eight points similar to himself, the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes are already obvious, and no matter how expensive skin care products are, they can't hide it.

"It's fine. Mom, it's summer, it's hot outside, hurry up and go in. Shu Wan stepped forward, reached out to hold Ding Xiang's arm, and said.

"Okay, okay." Ding Xiang was so happy that he felt like he was in a dream. She reached out and hesitated for two seconds, then gently patted the back of Shu Wan's hand.

Enter the box. The people in the box were almost there. At the large round table of fourteen people, there were about a dozen people.

Men are talking about investment, women are talking about clothing and skincare.

"Shu Wan, come on, come on, sit on our side." As soon as I entered the door, I heard Ding Wei's voice.

Shu Wan looked up and found that Qi Tong had arrived, sitting there playing with his mobile phone.

The two looked at each other, both a little stunned.

"What are you stunned about? Move to the side and let Shu Wan sit next to me. Ding Wei said.

"Oh." Qi Tong put away his phone and gave way to the side.

"I recently went to Qi Tong and found that he ate a little more. Listen to Qi Tong, you sent it. Thank you for your hard work. Ding Wei said kindly.

Shu Wan's face was full of suspicion.

Qi Tong winked at her secretly.

Shu Wan's head is full of black lines.

There are four families here today. Shu Wan's family, the same family. In the other two, Shu Wan occasionally heard his parents mention it, one is surnamed Tong, and the other is surnamed Chen. When everyone arrived, Shu Wan sniffed out the difference in the dinner. The other two are also only children, sons, over 30 years old, unmarried.

There is also a reason why these four families can play together, because there are big problems in the family.

The son of the Tong family looks like a playboy type, and he dresses very carefully.

The son of the Chen family is just the opposite of the Tong family, people over the age of 30 dress like college students, very casual.

At the banquet, Ding Xiang kept selling himself, which embarrassed Shu Wan.

Shu Zhihua changed the topic several times, afraid that his baby daughter would turn her face and leave. To his shock, Shu Wan looked at his mother with a smile all the time.

The dinner was in full swing, Shu Wan picked up the wine glass and said: "In the eyes of parents, their children are naturally first-class and good, and no one can compare." My mom just praised me, half true and half exaggerated, everyone can just listen to it, you don't have to take it seriously. I would like to give you a toast. ”

After speaking, the wine in the cup was drunk.

"Heroic!" The son of the Tong family became interested in this, and praised loudly, "I'm afraid that you are better than your mother said." ”

He had heard Ding Xiang praise before, and sneered at this woman—she really didn't look bad, but that's it—which would have made him feel that this woman was generous and had no twist. Judging from his experience of picking up girls since kindergarten, such a woman will be very relaxed and happy to get along.

"It's just a normal person. Don't say that. Shu Wan waved his hand and smiled.

"Shu Wan, do you have any requirements for finding a partner?" Tong's mother spoke.

"Mom, I see what you ask. Wan'er naturally depends on fate. She doesn't look at anything, she looks at everything, in a word, she looks at the feeling. The son of the Tong family said.

He pointed to himself and said, "Let me introduce myself." My name is Tong Qibai. Because my dad was dark, and I was in my mom's womb, my name was set. Originally, it was the "prayer" of prayer, but later I felt that this word was not a good name, so I used the homonym "Qi" of "departure". As for me, I graduated from Beijing University with a bachelor's degree and studied at Oxford for my Ph.D. studies. I studied finance, and now I work at Citi, with an annual salary of millions and some investments. It's nothing compared to the tens of millions of dollars a year from my father's income, but as long as I don't spend money, I can still live a small life. ”

"You're too modest." Shu Wan smiled and said.

The son of the Chen family, who was like a stuffy gourd, actually spoke: "Shu Wan, this is the first time we have met, so I will also introduce myself." My name is Chen Jing, and I'm five years old today Chinese New Year's Eve. Listen to my mother, I'm two or three years older than you. I think that's a good age. I studied at Haida as an undergraduate, then I became a Ph.D. from Haida University, and now I am working at the graduate school of Haida University. Although we have a lot of research funds, we get paid. The transformation of technology into productivity requires a process. But once a project is successfully developed, the gains are not measured in terms of money. To benefit people is the lifelong pursuit of our researchers. As for my family, my father's business is doing well, so he doesn't have to worry about food and clothing. ”

"That's good, that's good." Shu Wan said with a smile.

Qi Tong cleared his throat and said, "Qibai, Chen Jing, what are you two doing?" It's like a blind date. ”

"Qi Tong, you shut up for me. Shu Wan, let me tell you, the four of us haven't known each other for a day or two. Qibai and Chen Jing are both good children. If I had a daughter, I would definitely choose one. If you like someone, try to talk about it. Ding Wei helped.

"Huh?" Shu Wan was stunned.

"Let's add WeChat first. With WeChat, even if you can't become lovers, you can be friends in the future. We're all developing in Wangcheng anyway, so we can take care of it in the future. Tong Qibai has a flexible mind and said.

"I'm sorry, both of you." Speak together.

He poured himself a full glass of wine, stood up and picked up his glass, and said to Ding Xiang and Shu Zhihua: "Uncle, auntie, there is something I haven't found a suitable opportunity to say. I've been talking to Shu Wan for a while. I'm sorry, but I confess to both of you. ”

He picked up his glass and drank it down. Then he poured himself a full bottle of wine, and said to the people present, "I'm sorry everyone. I didn't know that today's dinner was of this nature. Shu Wan has never attended such a dinner, and I thought she wouldn't come today. Shu Wan and I, the two of us are in love and have been together for a while. Because the two families are too familiar, we want to wait for the relationship to stabilize before making it public. This is the wine of atonement. ”

After speaking, he drank the wine in his glass again.

He poured himself another full wine, smiled and said, "Everyone holds up the wine glass, I wish Shu Wan and I to get married as soon as possible!" ”
