Miss, you are my future wife

Chapter 180 The Missy's Family Banquet II
With Luo Yunxuan's personal support, Shen Jie limped down the stairs and came to the restaurant.

Shen Hongsheng was wearing a dining scarf and was at the top of the list.Luo Yunxuan helped Shen Jie to sit on his right, and then she sat opposite to Shen Jie.Seated on Luo Yunxuan's left was Johns wearing gold-rimmed glasses.With such a long table and so many dishes, only these four people are enjoying it.

Two waiters stood at the long table, one on the left and the other on the right.They were wearing black suits, white shirts and black ties, well-tailored, shirts buttoned and ties neatly knotted, shiny uppers reflecting the light, silver plates and cutlery in their hands, Always ready to serve.

Their existence is very low-key, as if they have been hidden in the whole environment, their movements are very smooth and skillful, their expressions are serious and focused, and they scan the four people on the table from time to time to catch their needs at any time.

As Shen Hongsheng picked up the tableware at hand, the meal of several people began in silence.Shen Jie lowered her head aggrievedly, peeking at her father's face out of the corner of her eyes, while Shen Hongsheng pretended not to notice.

Miss Shen, who was always confident, calm, elegant, and powerful, showed her side like a little lamb that she would only show in front of Shen Hongsheng.

Shen Hongsheng finally spoke: "Did you miss the food at home these days when you were out?"

Shen Jie squeezed out a smile: "I brought money, you can buy whatever you like, and there are still many delicious things in Shanghai."

Luo Yunxuan said, "Taste is only one aspect of eating. In this day and age, people don't lack nutrition. The key is to be clean and hygienic. After all, diseases come from the mouth."

Shen Jie could only nod repeatedly: "Yes, yes."

Shen Hongsheng continued: "For this person, it is a good thing to have the ability to endure hardships. Our family is not a prince or aristocrat, and we cannot afford Princess Pea."

Shen Jie frowned and retorted in a low voice: "I'm not the princess and the pea. The youth hostel is already good, and I don't have to worry about sleeping in the bridge hole."

She thought of the dilapidated bridge hole that went in and out of the "Hall of All".

Luo Yunxuan smiled and said: "Yes, yes, our little Jie is not the princess of the pea. Xiaojie can live alone in a place like a youth hostel where fish and dragons are mixed up, and she can be said to be neither steamed nor cooked. , It won’t be hammered, it won’t explode after frying, and it’s a copper pea.”

"It's hard to go from extravagance to frugality," Shen Hongsheng put a large piece of barbecue on Shen Jie's plate: "I think back then, our family was just an ordinary small family with no living conditions, but in 73 I When I was in Lingnan, I frowned when I entered the house arranged by my fellow villagers."

Shen Jie was secretly relieved when Shen Hongsheng began to tell about his experience of going to the mountains and going to the countryside to join the team and settle down.The girl's mind was wandering, but on the surface she looked very focused and interested in listening.

"Okay," Shen Hongsheng sighed, and stopped the meeting of remembering bitterness and thinking sweetly: "If you are really like your Aunt Luo said, it will be fine if you are a copper pea. I am afraid that you will not only be a princess, but also a princess." Mermaid princess, only bubbles left in the end."

"Old Shen, don't talk nonsense," Luo Yunxuan scolded Shen Hongsheng, and then said with a smile: "How could Xiaojie fall in love with that kind of ungrateful man, not even a prince. Don't you think so?"

"Of course," Shen Jie quickly answered, "The Xiao Yao you met was the one I tried to annoy Zhang Zhengkai the other day by making a fool of myself. We don't have any special relationship."

Sorry, dog, stopgap, stopgap.Shen Jie secretly apologized to Xiao Yao in her heart.

"Who did you learn this heresy from?!" Shen Hongsheng suddenly slapped his palm on the table, causing Shen Jie to shrink her neck in fright, and Luo Yunxuan also closed her mouth tightly.

"I know I was wrong," Shen Jie muttered, "But Zhang Zhengkai..."

Shen Hongsheng calmed down and said, "I know you don't like that kid Zhengkai very much. He's younger than you, and he's extremely immature. I said in the message I sent you that this matter can be discussed—don't think that, I said that to trick you back, and I didn't go back on my word."

"Okay." Shen Jie was really happy when she heard this.

"But no matter how you and Zhengkai choose in the future, there is nothing wrong with their children. No matter who you are engaged to, it's okay to have fun. There is still a bottom line. I have repeatedly emphasized the bottom line to you. When you are outside, you have to remember that you represent our Shen family and the face of our Shen family. If you continue to play this kind of nonsense and leave home without warning, or do something that makes people laugh at us, I will I will be very, very disappointed in you."

Shen Jie probably understood the weight of "very, very disappointed", nodded again and said, "Dad, I understand."

Let's take a step by step.

Shen Hong let out a long breath, leaned back on the high chair, and looked at Luo Yunxuan.

Luo Yunxuan understood: "You should take a good rest today. You have been wasting a lot of time recently. Johns has already arranged four tutors for you. In the next month, you should make up for the missed homework and don't go around. Ran."

"Understood." Shen Jie was dejected.

"You haven't passed the AP test, so your father and I haven't said anything about you, have you?" Luo Yunxuan said calmly, "If you fail the ACT test, take one more year, aren't you letting others see our Shen family's joke?"

"No, wait a minute," Shen Jie just calmed down: "What do you mean don't go out if you have nothing to do for a month? Is this going to put me under house arrest?"

"What house arrest is called foot confinement. If you do something wrong, you will always be punished by family law."

Shen Hongsheng said loudly.

"Isn't that enough?" Shen Jie shouted pointing at her face.

The girl's eyes were still a little red and swollen, there were still some tear stains in the corners of her eyes, and her lips trembled slightly.On her right cheek, there was a swollen bruise, and she could even vaguely see a... handprint?
The girl's whole body was shaking.

"Xiao Jie, don't worry," Luo Yunxuan hurriedly persuaded, "Old Shen..."

Shen Hongsheng waved his hand and said, "There's no need to persuade her anymore, you just spoiled her all the time, look, what are you spoiled for?"

"You should know that I have the habit of running every morning." Shen Jie told Shen Hongsheng.

"I remember that Johns also has the habit of jogging in the morning." Shen Hongsheng said.

"Boss," Johns pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose: "You will make my relationship with Miss worse and worse."

"One week." Luo Yunxuan insisted.

"...Three weeks." Shen Hongsheng conceded.

"Two weeks." Luo Yunxuan said.

"Sir." Johns accompanied him to remonstrate.

The door of the restaurant was knocked loudly, and then Shen Hongsheng's work assistant walked in quickly, bent down and whispered something in his ear.

Shen Hongsheng stood up: "I'm full, take your time."

Shen Jie, Luo Yunxuan and Johns stood together and sent them off respectfully.

Shen Hongsheng walked to the door of the restaurant, took the hot towel from the waiter, wiped his hands, and returned to Shen Jie's side.

He stretched out the back of his finger and touched his daughter's face.

Shen Jie shrank subconsciously, and made herself still again.

Shen Hongsheng gently stroked Shen Jie's cheek: "Does it still hurt?"

There was genuine concern in the man's eyes.

"It's much better." Shen Jie looked at the table and replied in a low voice.

"Two weeks." Finally, Shen Hongsheng said so.

He walked out of the restaurant, and the two waiters came in again.The atmosphere in the entire restaurant became relaxed and joyful with the departure of the host.

"Little Jie..." Luo Yunxuan stood up, bypassed Shen Hongsheng's position, sat next to Shen Jie, and reached out to caress the girl's shoulder.

"Thank you, Aunt Luo." Shen Jie calmed down and looked at her sister who looked a few years older than her.

"You know your father," Luo Yunxuan said, "Be good these few days, tell auntie if you have anything to say..."

--split line--

"You said, that man is still alive, yes, what do you mean?" Xiao Yao asked cautiously.

"It literally means that my biological father is still alive." Yu Luying told him succinctly: "Don't tell me, the reason I'm telling you is because... I think we are related."

"Guaranteed to rot in the stomach." Xiao Yao made a movement of zipping his mouth.

Since she emphasized "biology", it must be because she doesn't like this father very much, Xiao Yao thought.

"Don't tell sister either." Yu Luying added.

Xiao Yao's first reaction was, how much did I suffer to help you hide the secret last time?However, since it was purely her family business this time, she nodded and said, "I see."

"So..." The young man cleared his throat, and his eyes fell on the black and white photo on the altar: "This is not a sacrifice, but some kind of... a curse?"

"If you insist on understanding it this way, it's not impossible." Yu Luying said with some embarrassment.

"Your uncle said that Christians can only bless, not curse." Xiao Yao scratched his head.

"That's right, that's what my uncle told my mother." Yu Luying's eyes fell on the, uh, black and white photo of her "biological father", "Then my mother quibbled, what's wrong? I put it here for Is it not enough to repent for his prayers?"

"Pray for his repentance, right?" Xiao Yao corrected his mistake.

"Yes." Yu Luying stuck out her tongue slightly.

"However, it is useless to lie to the priest," Xiao Yao said thoughtfully, "Because God cannot be fooled."

"Yes," Yu Luying sighed, "Uncle said the same thing."

"Your scriptures say, love your enemies, in the end, how many people can do it." Xiao Yao sighed: "Ah, I'm not teasing your beliefs, I'm just lamenting—"

"I know, you don't need to be nervous." Yu Luying shook her head and said, "Few people can achieve it, but ideals are always beautiful, right?"

Xiao Yao thought for a few seconds, and said honestly, "To tell you the truth, I still prefer the kindness and hatred in the Old Testament."

"The "Old Testament" must be fulfilled in the "New Testament." Yu Luying didn't seem to want to talk about this topic: "Do you still want to do the questions?"

"Do it, do it." Xiao Yao said.

Yu Luying urged Xiao Yao to bury her head in the paper, but Xiao Yao didn't write a few questions, and she said by herself: "But... I said this, it seems that you are not very surprised? You already know?"

"Why should I be surprised?" Xiao Yao continued to bury his eyes on the paper, turning the pen in his hand: "Your surname is Yu, and your mother is also surnamed Yu. If only the father died, who would change the daughter's surname? Even you Mom—such an excellent woman, I don't think I would do this."

In fact, Xiao Yao was still surprised, but in order to pretend to be aggressive, he pretended to be calm.

Yu Luying's father passed away, why did she take her mother's surname? Xiao Yao actually murmured in his heart about this matter, but in order to avoid offending her, he never asked.

He thought about some possibilities, for example, Yu Luying's father is a son-in-law, but the Yu family doesn't look like a rich son; another example, Yu Luying's father is simply... a... mentioned by Tian Yun What's that word called, Turtle Man?So the daughter takes the mother's last name.

But this kind of coquettish operation of "divorcing my husband and lying about the death of the other party, and paying homage to his portrait at home", even though Xiao Yao has been watching "The Emperor of Science Fiction" since the fifth grade of elementary school, his imagination is not so rich.

"Oh." Yu Luying said.

"What's wrong with him? Did he cheat?" Xiao Yao continued to bury his head in the test paper, but couldn't bear to read a single question: "I'm just asking this question. If you think you can say it, you can say it. If you don't want to say it, let it go."

"Xiao Yao," Yu Luying put her chin on the glass plate of the dining table, "I think you have really matured a lot in the past two months."

"So what...such a sudden sentence?" Xiao Yao said.

"If you put it before, you didn't speak like this, um, for fear of offending others." Yu Luying said.

"Hey, what do you call maturity," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "It's just a frightened bird—I'm just scared by this society."

"That person didn't cheat," Yu Luying said softly, "It's just a simple divorce."

"Oh?" Xiao Yao thought to himself, how could he hate him like this?Yu Lihua is too cruel to put the other party's "portrait" on the table after divorce, and curse the other party to die early every day.

Xiao Yao recalled the happy family of three in the "Parent-Child Education Center". He saw the face of "that man" (color version), and also saw that Yu Luying was very attached to her father.

What made her refuse to even say "Dad" or "Father" now, only "biological father" and "that person"?
The boy put down his pen, raised his head, and looked quietly at the girl in front of him.Although he was full of doubts, he didn't say a word.

"Ask whatever you want," Yu Luying lowered her eyelids, "I won't even get angry."

"Then, who proposed the divorce and why?"

"Of course it's that person," Yu Luying told Xiao Yao, "In fact, he forcibly abandoned my mother. As for the reason..."

Xiao Yao quietly waited for the next sentence.

"The reason, I fucking want to know the reason too." Yu Luying said with a sad face, her lips muttering.

……

In Xiao Yao's impression, Yu Luying is a girl who can hardly speak foul language.

If Shen Jie "doesn't talk much", then Yu Luying "hardly talks".

Therefore, even if you don't read the content of this sentence, it is enough to surprise Xiao Yao.

"Then..." Xiao Yao swallowed with some difficulty: "He hasn't visited you for so many years?"

Yu Luying chuckled lightly: "If it wasn't for this black and white photo, I should have forgotten what he looks like. He has his own wife and children. Over the years, the only proof of his existence is turning around on the 1st of every month. a small amount of child support — and later on, not even that.”

"Why don't you have any? You are not yet an adult. Tell me, you are very good." Xiao Yao used the words of the imperial capital: "So, you still have younger brothers and sisters."

"I don't know, I haven't seen it, I don't care."

"... Oh." Xiao Yao said.

"Do your parents pay child support?" Yu Luying asked curiously.

"My grandma is raising me. My dad should give grandma money." Xiao Yao stretched his waist and said, "As for whether my biological mother will give it or not, that is a matter between her and my dad." , I'm too lazy to ask? Anyway, I won't get a penny."

Yu Luying pursed her lips and said with a smile: "What biology...how can you learn from me?"

"I didn't learn from you," Xiao Yao pouted and said, "That guy is worse than your father. She is serious about wearing a cuckold for my father, and there is more than one."

"Uh..." Yu Luying stretched out her hand in embarrassment, and grabbed Xiao Yao's wrist: "Tell me about your family. When I was looking at your photo album with my sister, Tian Yun and the others that day, I saw... Seeing Auntie's face, it was cut out in several photos, and we didn't have the nerve to ask..."

"Yes, I cut it off." Xiao Yao nodded.

"However, I only cut a few, and kept everything else." Yu Luying asked cautiously.

"Well, after cutting a few photos, I suddenly found it very troublesome and ridiculous," Xiao Yao nodded and said, "I just stuffed the whole photo album into the bottom of the box, who would have thought it would be dug out by your sister?"

"Ha," Yu Luying smiled, "Don't blame my sister, I actually dug it up when I was helping her find the dress."

"It doesn't matter." Xiao Yao shrugged.

"It seems that we are really the same kind of people." Yu Luying held Xiao Yao's wrist tightly, Xiao Yao responded to her, turned his wrist over, and pressed her fingers lightly with his fingers.

Their eyes meet.
