Chapter 22: Urging Marriage
As soon as Xia Meng sat down, she received another call from Nian Xingchen, although she didn't really want to answer it now, but for the sake of Nian Xingchen taking care of himself last night, Xia Meng finally answered the phone.
"How are you, are you feeling better?"
Nian Xingchen asked with concern as soon as he came up.
Xia Meng hurriedly replied into the phone: "Well, I'm fine, I'm much better, don't worry about me." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, her colleagues on the side shouted at her.
"Xia Meng, the director asked you to come over."
"Okay, I'll go over here."
Xia Meng hurriedly responded to his colleagues.
Hearing Xia Meng's movement on the other end of the phone, Nian Xingchen hurriedly asked, "Are you going to work again?" Didn't I ask you for leave, why did you still pass? ”
"That...... I didn't have anything to do, so I came over. Needless to say, our director called me, I have to hurry over. ”
Before Nian Xingchen could speak, Xia Meng hung up the phone in a hurry, and then went to their director's office.
"Superintendent, you called me?"
Xia Meng stood nervously opposite Director Wang of the Administration Department, carefully observing her face, for fear that she would be angry with herself.
Director Wang raised his head when he heard this, and he didn't seem to be as angry as Xia Meng imagined.
"I heard you took a leave of absence today?"
"I wasn't feeling well in the morning, but now I'm better, and then I'm rushing over again."
Xia Meng hurriedly explained that this was also the excuse she had thought of for herself before coming to the company today.
"Can't you see you're quite dedicated, do you?"
Director Wang said with some contempt.
Xia Meng hurriedly said, "Thank you for the compliment." ”
At this time, Director Wang suddenly started a fire at Xia Meng.
"What do you say that I am complimenting you?"
"No, no."
"I'll tell you, I hate the kind of person who relies on relationships the most, working under me, and you have to do things according to my rules in the future, you must ask me for leave, only if I agree, you can't ask anyone else."
Seeing Director Wang's angry face, Xia Meng hurriedly responded.
"Okay, I see, it won't be like this next time."
"Alright, you can get out."
Saying that, Director Wang glanced at Xia Meng angrily again.
Xia Meng bent over her apologetically, and then hurriedly walked out.
On the other side, Nian Xingchen was a little depressed after knowing that Xia Meng went to work again, she was like that yesterday, but today she still refuses to rest at home, and he can't help but be a little worried when he thinks of this.
At this time, the housekeeper Uncle Zhang called him, and Nian Xingchen hurriedly connected.
"Young master, the old man asked you to come back today, saying that I haven't seen you for a few days."
"Okay, I see, I happen to have something to go back to."
"Okay, then I'll go talk to the old man."
"Hmm."
After saying that, he hung up the phone, he didn't teach Nian Mingyue a good lesson about yesterday's incident, and he just took advantage of the fact that he had to teach her a long lesson when he went back to the old mansion today, otherwise if she was so lawless, something big would happen.
After getting off work in the afternoon, Nian Xingchen went directly back to the old house.
As soon as she arrived at the door, Nian Mingyue was already waiting for him, and she also learned the news that Nian Xingchen would come back today, so she waited at the door early.
"Brother, you're back."
Nian Mingyue said to Nian Xingchen with a flattering face.
Nian Xingchen didn't give her a good face.
"Come with me."
After speaking, Nian Xingchen quickly walked towards his study, and Nian Mingyue obediently followed behind him.
As soon as she came to the study, Nian Mingyue hurriedly admitted her mistake to Nian Xingchen.
"Brother, I really know it's wrong, I don't dare anymore, you just forgive me this time."
"I've parked your bank card for you, you can also bring me the car keys, don't go out recently, think about it at home for me behind closed doors!"
Nian Xingchen said expressionlessly, as if he was talking to a stranger.
Nian Mingyue became even more nervous when she saw this, and hurriedly continued to apologize to him.
"Brother, I really know it's wrong, just forgive me, I promise you that I really won't dare anymore, and I will never quarrel with Lin Xueqing's girl again."
"Do you think I've forgiven you and that's it? Do you know how serious the consequences can be if this matter is exposed? You dare to drug Lin Xueqing and her friend's wine, and throw people to Beishan, in case someone has three longs and two shorts, can you afford this responsibility? You know our relationship with the Lin family, and you still trouble Lin Xueqing three times and twice, have you considered the feelings between our two families? Lawless all day, I'm really used to you! ”
Nian Xingchen unceremoniously reprimanded Nian Mingyue.
Nian Mingyue was a little unconvinced at this time, and muttered in a low voice: "Isn't that friend of Lin Xueqing fine, why are you still so angry......
"Nian Mingyue, you haven't really realized your mistake yet, people don't have anything to do now, but if something happens, who will bear the responsibility? I see that you don't have to go out from today onwards, when you realize your mistake and come back to me! ”
As soon as she heard that she was not allowed to go out, Nian Mingyue immediately panicked.
"Brother, I don't dare, I really don't dare, don't do this, okay? I was wrong, I really know that I was wrong, you can deduct my card, you can detain my car, don't you let me go out, don't I still have to go to school? ”
"I don't want to repeat the same thing a second time! I'll help you ask for leave at school, so you can stay at home honestly! ”
After saying that, Nian Xingchen left directly.
Nian Mingyue stomped her feet angrily, but she didn't dare to say anything more, so she could only admit it silently, and the resentment towards Lin Xueqing in her heart was deeper.
After coming out of the study, Nian Xingchen went directly to the old man.
"Grandpa, you're looking for me."
At this time, the old man was feeding his beloved little fish in the fish pond in the backyard.
"Why haven't you been back for a while? Are you not going to care about me, an old man? ”
The old man said as he sprinkled bait into the fish pond.
Nian Xingchen hurriedly explained: "Grandpa, look at what you said, I've been a little busy in the company recently, and it's more convenient to live in an apartment in the city, so I haven't come here much during this time." ”
"Oh, that's right. By the way, what did you think about what I told you last time, you are not too young, it's time to start a family, I had your father when I was so old with you, you see that you don't even have a girlfriend now. ”
The old man couldn't help but complain.
The last time I talked about this matter was a few days before Nian Xingchen and Xia Meng met, and it was also here that the old man urged Nian Xingchen's lifelong events, but he was prevaricated by Nian Xingchen, of course, this time it was the same.
"I'm not in a hurry about this, after all, the times are different now, and I don't think I've reached the age where I have to start a family, don't you see that Xiu Cheng and Zhou Nan haven't started a family yet."
"Can't you let your grandfather and I hug my great-grandson earlier?"
"It's easy, if you don't mind, I'll find someone to give you one right now."
At this time, the old man turned around angrily.
"You stinky boy, how can you just find a woman and have a baby."
Nian Xingchen said helplessly: "Aren't you in a hurry?" ”
"Alright, that's it, just let it be."
"That's right."
As soon as Nian Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief, the old man looked at him again.
"I heard that Jian Rou is back?"
"Like."
At the mention of Jian Rou, the expression on Nian Xingchen's face couldn't help but sink.
Looking at his appearance, the old man continued with some worry: "You haven't forgotten her, right?" That's why you don't want to find a girlfriend anymore? ”
"Grandpa, my affair with her has long passed, it has nothing to do with her, I will naturally bring it over to see you when I meet the right one."
In fact, Nian Xingchen now thinks that he and Xia Meng are quite suitable, but they haven't known each other for a long time, and the time is not ripe enough, so they didn't mention this matter to the old man.
"I don't have a problem with you wanting to find someone you like, but this girl's family background must be innocent, and you can't find that kind of woman to come back."
"Don't worry, I know."
"Okay, that's all I have to say, you can stay and have dinner together in the evening before leaving."
"No, I still have a client to see in the evening, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it today."
Nian Xingchen hurriedly refused, he actually didn't have any customers at all, but he was still a little worried about Xia Meng, so he wanted to go back early.
Seeing this, the old man didn't force it anymore.
"Well, remember to come and see me when you're fine. Your parents left early, and you don't care much about me as a lonely old man. ”
Nian Xingchen's parents died early, when he was a teenager, his parents left one after another, the old man sent the white-haired man to the black-haired man, and he had to take care of the Nian Xingchen brothers and sisters, those days were the darkest years of Nian Xingchen's life, that is, he met Jian Rou in those years, it can be said that Jian Rou pulled him out of the abyss of pain, and then he fell in love with her incorrigibly.
"Grandpa, look at what you said, when I'm done with this time, I'll accompany you to fishing."
"Okay, that's what you said, I'll wait."
"Definitely."
Seeing that the old man finally smiled happily, Nian Xingchen's heart was also a lot happier, and then he continued: "Grandpa, if there is nothing to do, I will leave first, and the customer is still waiting for me." ”
"Alright, then you can go quickly."
Then Nian Xingchen left the old mansion.
