Chapter Seventy-Three: Preparation
Shen Ya instructed Huang Mao to secretly follow Shen Anthral, ostensibly agreed, but he didn't dare to listen to Shen Ya, in comparison, the man who covered Shen Anthral was not easy to mess with, even Zhou Xun's brother had to give that man some face, let alone a little thug.
Huang Mao didn't take it to heart, he changed how he played, but he couldn't help but do things when he took the money, so he found his little cousin and went to follow Shen Yanrou, and gave a special order, don't worry about anything, just follow and take a photo.
The yellow-haired little cousin listened.
......
Lin Yu's salary is settled once a week, which is very humane, and Shen Yanrou just lacks this money, she saved for two weeks, plus the money she saved before, she transferred it to Wen Yan, she needs this money even more.
There are still three or four days before Yi Huaixian's birthday, and her gift is ready, I don't know if he will like it, and she doesn't have a letter in her heart.
I hope he'll like it.
On the morning of Mr. Yi Huai's day, she got up early in the morning and cooked a normal breakfast, a very ordinary breakfast, which was nothing unusual, but Yi Huai spent half an hour more than before, it was half past eight, and he hadn't gone out yet.
Shen Yurou didn't suspect anything, she asked Lin Yu for leave today, and she had to make time for this day.
Last night, Yi Huai asked her to vacate today in advance, and she had to go back to Yi's house today.
Shen Yanrou couldn't help but ask him, "Have you also taken leave today?" It's half past eight, don't you have to go to work?"
Yi Huai stared at her first, tilted his head slightly, and said, "Go later." "He's the boss, and it doesn't matter when he wants to go to work.
Shen Yanrou almost forgot, so she didn't ask again.
Yi Huai walked over first, shook her hand, and said, "It is estimated that there are a lot of people you will see at night, so you have to be mentally prepared." ”
"Is it your relative?" On his birthday, Yi Lao also held a family banquet, just tonight, it is estimated that the people who came are relatives, and there should be quite a lot of people.
"Well, if nothing else, it is. Yi Huaixian told the truth this time, and there was no element of fooling her, indeed, there should be a lot of people coming to the house tonight.
Yi Lao had been arranging this a month in advance.
After all, it was his birthday party, and the Yi family attached great importance to it.
Shen Yurou said, "Am I going too?" She wasn't sure, if it was all from his family, it wouldn't be appropriate for her to go.
She has always felt that she is an outsider to the Yi family, and since it is a family banquet of the Yi family, it is indeed inappropriate for her to appear.
Yi Huai first understood what she was worried about, and said gently: "Don't have confidence in yourself?"
"It's not, it's just that I'm afraid it's not suitable. ”
"Well, it's not appropriate. ”
“......”
"The identity of a girlfriend makes you so unconfident, then I have to reflect on my own problems. He smiled, "How about getting engaged directly?"
"......" Shen Yanrou almost choked on her own saliva, "There's no need to get engaged, so be it, it's good." ”
Her helplessness was seen by him.
They have been together for a short time, and the two sides have not yet made friends, she still has a cordon in her heart, which has been pulled up, she hides behind the cordon, he wants to step over, it takes time, not a few days and months, it probably takes a long time.
Her sense of security was lost at the moment when the Shen family didn't want her, and now Shen Anthrum is not complete.
He had to wait until she could open up to him.
Luckily, there was time.
After Yi Huai asked for a kiss first, he went out to work, leaving Shen Yanrou with a flushed face to clean up the dishes, and milk was sprinkled on the table, which was someone's masterpiece, and said that she was better than milk.
Before the evening, Shen Yanrou went out to buy a few boxes of hangover pills, the nature of his work inevitably required entertainment, and there were no hangover pills at home, she was worried that she would drink again at night, so she prepared some in advance.
At noon, the weather was very good, the sun was very warm, she turned the quilt out to dry, and began to worry about whether she needed to dress up ceremoniously at night, so as not to lose his face.
Just imagine, other girlfriends don't want to go to a family gathering and lose their boyfriend's face.
But dressing up too grandly can be counterproductive.
An afternoon was spent in the process of constant struggle, and in the end she didn't come up with a result.
Forget it, she doesn't know how to dress up, so be it, naturally.
In fact, it is not only her who has concerns in this regard, but also Yi Huaixian, but this is just a family banquet, they are all relatives who know each other, and they don't need to be too grand, but this time some relatives came back from abroad, and they came back, probably depending on who his girlfriend was.
It's decent, it's not grand and it doesn't look frivolous.
It's not that he thinks Shen Anthrou is bad, but he feels that after all, it is the first time they meet, and he needs to leave an impression on those people, so that this group of relatives feels that he values Shen Anthral, otherwise, something similar to Xu Jia may happen.
He didn't want to put a lot of pressure on Shen Yanrou because of his own reasons, which she shouldn't have shouldered.
He Yong immediately understood, so he prepared a set of clothes and sent them back to Yatingju in person.
He was afraid that Shen Yurou would misunderstand what the boss meant, and specially explained, saying that she was afraid that she would be nervous, so she prepared another set of clothes for her to choose from, and she just wore the clothes she liked to wear.
How could Shen Yanrou not understand Yi Huaixian's intentions, she understood what she meant in an instant.
Even He Yong himself guessed it, the smile on his lips never disappeared, and he said to Shen Yanrou: "Miss Shen, look at it, the boss has helped you think about it, if I were you, I would have promised it a long time ago." ”
The word "pledge" is easy to think about.
He said: "You try it, if you don't like it, I'll change it for you." ”
"No need, this set is fine, I'm sorry for you. ”
"You're welcome, that's what I'm supposed to do. He said, "Since it's okay, I'll leave first, I'll deliver the clothes, you can try it slowly, and call me if you have any questions." ”
He used to leave quickly.
Shen Yanrou took the clothes and put them on the sofa, as if she was sighing with admiration, Yi Huai even helped her think about it first, and didn't let her worry, which shows how much he cares about her.
If she hadn't met Yi Huaixian, would the girl he could fancy today be a different scene?
And to be liked by him, I probably don't know how many good deeds I have done in my previous life.
She could only think like this, although she thought so, she was a little emotional and happy.
She was glad that she could meet Yi Huaixian when she had nothing, if it weren't for him, she didn't know if she would have survived to this day.
Soon in the evening, Yi Huai called first and asked her if she was ready, if she needed him to go upstairs to pick her up, or wait for her downstairs.
She said she was all right and went downstairs immediately.
On the way back to the Yi house, she carefully adjusted her mood, and she might have to see the Yi family's relatives later, including Yi Junyi and Xu Jia, who should be there, thinking of this, she inevitably became nervous.
Tension is inevitable and takes time to adjust.
Shen Yurou got into the car, and then noticed that what she was wearing and what Yi Huaixian was wearing tonight seemed to be a series, that is, the so-called couple clothes?
She was also dressed by Yi Huai first, his vision is very good, the preparation is very suitable for her, not too exaggerated, very comfortable dress, low-key and slightly luxurious.
Even the clothes, the way he looks at them is enviable.
However, the price of this outfit should not be low.
Shen Yanrou felt as if she owed him one more time.
These accounts have accumulated, and she is afraid that she will not be able to pay them off.
Before arriving at Yi's house, Yi Huai first noticed her tense mood and asked gently, "What's wrong?"
"No, there isn't. She was duplicitous and wanted to save a little face for herself.
However, it is not necessary.
Yi Huaixian didn't feel embarrassed that she was nervous.
"Don't want to tell me?"
"Well, I'll admit to being a little nervous. ”
"Isn't there me? It's okay if you're nervous. ”
Shen Yanrou laughed helplessly and said, "If I say the wrong thing and do the wrong thing, doesn't it matter?"
"Yes, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you get into trouble, I hope you will be willful and arrogant, and treat me as a backer, if I don't help you, you can beg me, and it's interesting to think about it. He was not shy about speaking his heart.
Shen Yanrou was completely silent.
There's something wicked about this person, but doesn't it matter if she plays this role?
Could it be that he is too lonely and helpless and needs some stimulation?
Well, even if he was willing to be that mediocre backer, she didn't dare to be pampered.
Yi Huaixian stopped teasing her.
After arriving at the Yi House, the parking spaces at the door are full, and the Yi House is brightly lit, and there seem to be a lot of visitors.
got out of the car, a gust of wind blew, Shen Yanrou raised her head and looked, she was indeed under pressure, this has not yet entered.
Yi Huai walked calmly first and said, "Let's go." ”
When the two of them arrived, in fact, they had almost arrived, there were quite a lot of people, all of them were relatives of the Yi family, and of course, there were some relatives who had never even met Yi Huaixian.
This time, Yi Lao held this birthday banquet for Yi Huai first, and it seemed that there was something else to announce, so he chose such a date.
Many people's eyes were on Shen Yanrou, and that look seemed to be exploring who she was, how she appeared next to Yi Huaixian, and maintained such an intimate behavior with him.
But generally those who can appear by his side are very close relationships, needless to say.
It's just that some elders took the initiative to chat with Yi Huai first, and they didn't ask Shen Yanrou during the whole process, even if she stayed by his side.
Probably because she thinks she is a wild/chicken, she can't get into the eyes of the elders, so she doesn't bother to ask.
There are some people in the Yi family who are very arrogant, and the arrogance in their bones is all shown on their faces, of course, they disdain women who don't know where they come from.
Shen Yanrou sensed that something was wrong, so she took the initiative to let go of her hand, and did not hold Yi Huaixian anymore, there was no one else, she made an excuse and said, "I want to go to the bathroom." ”
It will take some time to calm down.
Yi Huai glanced at her first and said, "Do you remember where it was?"
"Yes. ”
"Well, go ahead. ”
When Shen Yanrou turned around, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Probably the rich family is huge, and of course, there are many things.
After passing a corner of the stairs, she heard the sound of someone talking, and subconsciously slowed her pace, so she heard someone say: "Who is that woman brought by Huaixian? Why is there not a high sense of existence?"
"I don't know, no one said, is it a girlfriend? or what?"
"My girlfriend doesn't look like it, this looks too pure, how can Huai Xian like this, it looks lethal. ”
"But she was brought by Huai Xian, so she thinks it's a girlfriend, right?"
"Who knows, but I don't like her very much, at first glance, I think she is not very simple, and it seems that she has some means to let Huai Xian bring her to the family banquet. ”
“......”
There are actually not many such discussions, but Shen Yanrou heard some.
It's just that.
Yi Huaixian was also questioned by the elders and asked him who the girl next to him was just now.
Yi Huai said first: "I'll know later." ”
"It's not going to be announced, is it?"
"Probably. Yi Huaixian did not deny it.
It is indeed to be announced, it is undeniable that he brought Shen Anju back today to announce it, since Shen Anrou is his person, then announcing this to the family can be regarded as giving her a name, and she originally did not plan to announce it so soon.
However, he didn't want Shen Yanrou to suffer from gains and losses, so fortunately, he took the opportunity of the birthday banquet to announce it to his family first.
lest anyone else beat her again.
It also blocks some people's ill-intentioned thoughts.
If she returns to Yi Mansion in the future, she will be justified and strong, and she doesn't have to look at people's eyes.
Xu Jia's incident gave him a small reminder.
Soon Yi got old, on crutches, in good spirits, the housekeeper helped him to walk down slowly, and greeted a group of relatives.
Yi Huai walked up first and stood beside Yi Lao.
Yi Lao glanced at him and said, "What about anthracene?"
"Went to the bathroom. ”
"Then wait for her to come back and announce it again. ”
"Okay. Yi Huaixian was not very worried about Shen Yanrou, so he said to go find her.
Yi Lao nodded.
Today is an important day, and Yi Lao called a group of relatives back to announce this.
This was mentioned to him by Yi Huai first, and the old man almost thought about it, and then agreed, he also wanted to determine this matter as soon as possible, and there would be no more mistakes.
Although Shen Yanrou has no background, after all, this is what Yi Huai took a fancy to first, and there is no problem with her temperament, so fortunately she agreed.
Yi Lao was quite satisfied with Shen Anthrum, even if he didn't say it.
Shen Yanrou washed her face in the bathroom and was about to walk out, when she found that the door was locked from the outside, and she couldn't open it.
Xu Jia, who was standing at the door, gritted his teeth with hatred, and said in pieces: "It's impossible for me to let you get your wish, I won't let you snatch my cousin, it's all because of you that the relationship between me and my cousin is so stiff, if it weren't for you, it wouldn't be what it is today." Just let you reflect on it inside. ”
She didn't speak loudly, and she was afraid that she would be heard by Shen Yanrou inside, but she didn't say it and was unwilling.
So it's more like talking to yourself.
Shen Yanrou thought that the door was broken, so she wanted to call Yi Huaixian, but soon, the light in the bathroom was turned off, she was startled, and hurriedly turned on the flashlight, but the light was too dim to illuminate where.
She called for help, but there was no response from outside.
I can only call Yi Huai first.
Yi Huai answered first and then asked her which bathroom she was.
Shen Yanrou said: "The second floor." ”
"It's coming soon. ”
When Yi Huai arrived first, there was no one else outside the bathroom door, he saw that someone was locked outside, and he wrung his eyebrows, and his intuition was not an accident, it was deliberate.
probably deliberately couldn't get along with Shen Anthrum.
He hurriedly found a tool to pry open the door, pushed it open, and saw Shen Yanrou.
Yi Huai first saw Shen Yanrou's face softened, and didn't mention that it was not a coincidence that she was locked up in the bathroom, it was something that someone deliberately did, but fortunately she was fine.
Shen Yanrou came to her senses and said, "It's good that you came quickly." ”
"Did you get hurt somewhere?"
"No, it's good, it's all good. ”
"That's fine, let's go to the room and rest first. ”
"Leave me alone, I'm fine. Shen Yurou was afraid that if he walked away for too long, someone would look for him, so she said, "If you have something to do, go and get busy, don't worry about me, I'll go to the pantry and have a glass of water later." ”
Yi Huai didn't let her stay alone, but said, "I'll go with you." ”
His eyes were very solemn, and she said okay.
When I arrived at the pantry, I didn't expect Xu Jia to be there, she was fiddling with something, she heard the footsteps, her face was a little flustered, there was another cousin with her, this cousin was a few years younger than Yi Huaixian, and she had to call Yi Huai to be a brother first.
Xu Jia saw Shen Yanrou and immediately pulled her cousin away, and she didn't call anyone.
Yi Huai said coldly: "Don't worry about them, what do you want to drink?"
Shen Yanrou said: "Juice, I'll pour it." ”
She poured herself a glass of juice and took a sip to settle down.
Yi Huai touched her hair first and said, "Is it really okay?"
"It's okay, I just don't know why the light there suddenly broke down, I'll tell the housekeeper Uncle later." ”
"Well, I'll just talk about it later. But you, I don't even feel at ease that you're alone. ”
Shen Anthral: "Don't worry, I'm not that weak." ”
While he was talking, there were people in the pantry again, the floor of the Yi house was carpeted, and there was no sound when the high heels stepped on it, so when Shen Yanrou raised her eyes and saw a woman standing at the door without any sound, she was frightened again.
The woman was very gentle, and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I scared you, I see that you two have been talking, and I am still thinking that I will talk when you are finished." ”
The woman looked at Yi Huaixian again, waved her hand at him, and said, "Huaixian, long time no see." ”
Yi Huai glanced at it first, his eyes were cold and cold, and he nodded, which was regarded as a greeting.
"By the way, I really wanted to ask just now, who is this little sister ......"
Little sister?
Shen Yanrou frowned slightly, are you talking about herself?
At the moment, there are three people here, and it seems that they are talking about her.
Yi Huaixian's tone was calm and said, "Shen Anthral." ”
"Miss Shen, hello, I'm Chi Cerin. It's Huaixian's mother's goddaughter, but I'm not his godsister, I'm his sister. ”
Shen Yanrou was a little confused, "Hello." ”
The woman put away her hand, and the smile on her face was very gentle: "When I first came over, I seemed to hear that Grandpa Yi was looking for you, so I thought there should be something urgent......
