Chapter 41: Look at the Sea
The cold wind whistled across the open fields, leaving behind a bleak patch of seeds, buried deep in the snow, silently waiting for the arrival of the next spring.
The lights of the Xie family's old house were bright, Xie Wangshu made a bold statement to show off the exquisite cooking skills he had exercised outside, and he just occupied the kitchen, she was holding a processed chicken in her hand, and a knife in the other hand, hesitating how to go under the knife, after a stalemate of five seconds, she cut it down together, and the chicken body and neck were successfully separated.
Jiang Yuqing leaned against the kitchen door with her arms crossed, watching her hurriedly show off her cooking skills, until Xie Wangshu pulled his cuffs, "Why can't this chicken be put down?" β
He lowered his eyes and looked at the whole chicken that had been dismantled, the corners of his mouth twitched, pursed his lower lip, and said hesitantly: "You cut it so well." β
He picked up the knife and reconstructed the chicken that had been chopped into eight pieces, and just as they were tidying up the kitchen, there was a crisp sound of high heels in the hallway, Shen Chulan carried a few gifts, and looked at An Yi with a smile, "Auntie, there were some things delayed a year ago, I didn't have time to see you, so I won't bother today." β
An Yi was a little surprised when she saw her coming, took the gift she was carrying, and led her to the living room to sit, "Where, there are many children in the family these days, and I haven't had time to ask you." β
Shen Chulan sat down in the living room with her, chatting with her lively, An Yi smiled and looked at Xie Jinchuan who was playing with his mobile phone with his head bowed on the side, since he entered the old mansion in the morning, he looked like no one was close to him, and at this moment he didn't even care about the most basic etiquette.
Shen Chulan also noticed that Xie Jinchuan was wrong, "Jinchuan, what's wrong?" β
An Yi sneered, full of disgust for her son, "Don't worry about him, his wife won't let him go to work in the morning, he's having a temper, what a big person." β
"You haven't been back to China for the first two years, so you haven't seen fog yet."
After the words fell, An Yi took out her mobile phone, smiled and found out the family photo taken before, enlarged her fingers on the screen, and deliberately took out Yu Wu separately and pointed it to Shen Chulan, "Isn't Wu Wu very beautiful?" β
Shen Chulan maintained a stiff smile on her face, and had to nod her head to accompany her, after all, she suddenly came to visit first, "Yes, Mr. Yu is a famous face in the entertainment industry." β
"Chu Lan knows Wuwu?"
The expression on Shen Chulan's face almost cracked, his fingers trembled slightly, and he curled up in the palm of his hand to control his almost collapsed emotions, "The last time my aunt went to the crew to be a dance instructor, I was a crew with Yu Wu. β
An Yi suddenly realized, with some hindsight, "Look at me, my memory is not good when I am old." β
The two chatted for a long time, An Yi hadn't seen her for two years, and kindly left her for lunch, leaving her sitting cramped in the living room and Xie Jinchuan who was still bowing his head and typing on the side, his eyebrows were sometimes frowning and sometimes stretching, and sometimes his eyes were bent up, with a smile, thinking that he should be chatting with Yu Wu.
Xie Wangshu was carried out of the kitchen by Jiang Yuqing unbearably, she still held a plate of cut fruit in her hand, shook into the living room, and found Shen Chulan for the first time, her eyes narrowed, and the person who came was not good.
"Why are you here?"
Shen Chulan followed the voice and looked over, Xie Wangshu held the fruit plate in one hand and the cherries in the other, squinting, her eyes were full of defense, she hid the bitterness in her heart, "I didn't take time out a year ago, I happened to be free today, come and see my uncle and aunt." β
She nodded and threw the fruit bowl on the small table next to Xie Jinchuan, "Then you've seen it too, you can go." β
Shen Chulan's fingertips pinched into her palms, and the sharp pain couldn't stop her emotions from collapsing, she took two deep breaths, "It's okay to go, but before we go, can we talk about it?" β
Xie Wangshu sneered, and Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Xie Jinchuan extinguishing the phone, raising his cold and ruthless eyes to look over, "What are you talking about?" β
The cold wind howled through the back garden, which was still full of flowers, Xie Jinchuan stood in front of the lake, holding a bag of fish food in his hand, twisting it at will, and spilling it into the fish pond at a constant temperature, and the koi fish wagged their tails and scrambled to grab the food floating in the water from a distance.
Shen Chulan stood behind him one step away and looked at him quietly, "Jin Chuan, I was fascinated by it for a while, and I made a ...... I already know that your wife is wrong, can you get Jiang Yuqing to withdraw the ban? β
The cold wind lifted the broken hair in front of his forehead, fluttered twice, and put it on the side, revealing delicate eyebrows and eyes, following the perspective of his bowed head, with a high nose bridge and a superior side face.
He stood and didn't speak, and the atmosphere was deadlocked, "Mr. Xie, can I just ask you for the love of the past twelve years?" β
Xie Jinchuan sneered, and he indifferently pronounced the end of her luck mentality, "You should go to my father for your affection, after all, he sponsored you to complete your studies until now." β
Shen Chulan smiled bitterly, she used to naively think that she at least had the same love as she met Xie Jinchuan when she was young, but now she is completely dead.
Twelve years ago, she was accidentally bumped into by Xie Gui due to livelihood difficulties, and for the next seven years, she grew up under the sponsorship of the Xie family, and after graduating from high school, she was arranged by Xie Gui to study abroad with Xie Jinchuan, but when she was still naΓ―ve and fantasized about what sparks the two could make abroad, Xie Jinchuan had moved directly out of the apartment arranged by Xie Gui, and the two were already far from each other, and it was very difficult to see each other on weekdays, but Han Yu would be entrusted by Xie Gui to come and see her, Xie Jinchuan had never taken the initiative to see her in the six years abroad.
After graduating from the bachelor's degree, with her superior appearance conditions, Shen Chulan caught the east wind of Tianyue Entertainment and jumped all the way to the first-line coffee position.
Now she wants more and more.
Xie Jinchuan took the hand that sprinkled the fish food, threw the fish food on the stone table on the side, and turned his head to look at her, "Miss Shen, whether it was in the past or now, I will only have such a wife as Yu Wu, she has a bad temper, she was wronged at home when she was a child, and her temperament was reckless, if there is a place where Miss Shen collided, Xie apologized to you on her behalf." If not, I still hope that Miss Shen will not disturb my wife's interest in breaking into the entertainment industry. β
Shen Chulan listened to him take a bite of Miss Shen, with a clear attitude and boundaries, she let go of the fleshy and bloody palm, put away the wry smile on her face, and wiped the tears left at the corners of her eyes, "It's because I was disrespectful to Mrs. Xie before, and I will personally apologize in the future." β
Xie Jinchuan hummed, the delicately dressed female star in front of him with firm eyes and the cowardly girl who behaved timidly when Xie Guigang funded it twelve years ago no longer coincide.
"My father will be back later, he hasn't seen you in a few years, if you are fine, you can wait for him in the living room."
Shen Chulan was a little stunned, and he had already left from her, with a long and jade body, upright and dignified.
In the quiet carriage, Xie Jinchuan held his mobile phone in his fingers and chatted intermittently with the girl on the other side of the video, "Do you want to see the sea?" β
Yu Wu's fingers unconsciously held the chopsticks and poked the rice, and he was a little surprised to hear his words, "But it's so cold on the beach in winter." β
"Go?"
"Go ahead."
