lure her into deep

Chapter 18 Never Give Up
The old house of the Cen family is not close to Dongyao.There were two more traffic jams on the road. By the time Cen Jia arrived, it was almost lunch time.

What she didn't expect was that Shen Xu and his father Shen Ronghua were also there.Together with Mr. Cen and Cen Jun, four men from three generations, old, middle and young, are sitting in the tea room on the first floor chatting happily.

Cen Jia greeted the guests first.Then he walked to Mr. Cen, sat next to him on the armrest of the sofa, and put his arms around the old man's shoulders affectionately: "Grandpa, have you missed me recently?"

Mr. Cen feigned anger: "You girl, how can you sit down in front of guests?"

Cen Jia pouted, hugged his shoulders and shook him gently: "Then tell me if you miss me!"

Although Mr. Cen doesn't pay much attention to girls, he is always happy to have such a beautiful granddaughter to coax him.

"Okay, okay, think about it!" His tone was impatient, but his expression was helpful.Then he smiled at Shen Ronghua and Shen Xu and his son, "I can't help it, I won't grow up."

"I would also like to have a granddaughter who acts like a spoiled child with me." Shen Ronghua sighed with envy, "I just don't know when my son will be able to gain some momentum and let me become a grandfather as soon as possible." After speaking, he glanced with disgust. Shen Xu glanced at him.

"Dad..." Shen Xu made a gesture of surrender, but he paid attention to Xiang Cen Jia out of the corner of his eye, and then almost couldn't help laughing.

He found that Cen Jia was currently in a lawsuit with Cen Jun, looking like a kindergarten kid trying to fight for candy.Both funny and cute.

Of course, Cen Jia didn't know how she looked in Shen Xu's eyes at the moment. She didn't even know that the other party was paying attention to her.

But she knew that Cen Jun had always disliked her asking for favors and being obedient in front of her elders, so she insisted on showing him off, which disgusted him to death.She still couldn't stand the fact that he was such a big man, and he was secretly complaining about him and doing dirty tricks all day long!
Let's see who can disgust who!
With Cen Jia joining in, the atmosphere was even more lively than before.

After several people sat for a while, the butler came to ask if dinner was ready.Mr. Cen nodded to him, and then asked the Shen family and his son to take a seat.

After arriving at the dinner table, Cen Jia became quiet and well-behaved.She ate her food elegantly, and from time to time, she would add food to Mr. Cen's food.

But the words of several people did not fall into my ears at all, although there was not much useful information.

The Shen family father and son came to apologize for terminating their cooperation.Cen Jia actually doesn’t fully understand Cen’s business.

The Cen family started out in the film and television media industry, but after three generations of development to this day, it has long been impossible to make money just by holding on to that one-third of an acre.She knew that the Cen family had some business dealings with the Shen family, but she didn't know which cooperation the Shen family had terminated.Will it have any impact on her?

After all, every time Cen's business was unstable or he wanted to expand his territory, Mr. Cen would want to sell his daughter.

The meal didn't take long, but it was a great time for both host and guest.

After the meal, the Shen family chatted for a while and the father and son said goodbye. Mr. Cen went upstairs to take a lunch break.He had a bad heart condition in the past few years and followed the doctor's advice to develop the habit of taking a nap.Cen Jia and Cen Jun were left looking at each other disgustedly, so they went back to their rooms.

Cen Jia knew that Cen Jun would not leave. Firstly, she was wary of her putting eye drops on him in front of the old man, and secondly, she wanted to wait and see his jokes.Although he must have miscalculated this time.

But waiting always makes people anxious. Cen Jia knew that Mr. Cen had asked her to come back for something, so she couldn't help but think about it.Even the daily tasks of the game are done somewhat absentmindedly.

At the same time, Shen Xu was anxious...

Shen Ronghua brought a driver today, and the father and son sat in the back seat together.

Almost as soon as the black business car drove out of the Cen family's old house, he said slowly: "Cen Hong'an, this daughter, is getting more and more beautiful as she becomes more sophisticated."

How could Shen Xu not hear the profound meaning in his father's words?His mind suddenly moved, and he joked unintentionally: "She is quite beautiful. According to our family's current conditions, I'm afraid you won't be able to have such a beautiful granddaughter. You can only rely on your daughter-in-law to improve your genes."

Shen Ronghua sighed secretly, thinking that was really what he wanted.He felt that his son's eyes were always glancing at the little girl from time to time.Thinking of this, he couldn't help but gloat: "Ha... when the little girl chased you, you didn't catch a cold. Now you want to chase her back?"

Shen Xu chuckled, a little self-deprecating: "I was young at that time and didn't know what I was thinking."

Shen Ronghua raised his eyebrows: "Do you know now?"

Shen Xu turned his head with a serious look in his eyes: "I know, it shouldn't be too late."

Shen Ronghua's expression gradually became serious: "I don't care whether you understand your thoughts or not, but Miao Lin definitely can't."

In fact, Cen Jia is not the daughter-in-law he likes.

There is only one seedling in the Shen family, so what Shen Xu needs is a wife who can fight side by side.Rather than a watered flower that needs constant care.

That girl Cen Jia is squeamish and pretentious, and her IQ is not outstanding.The biggest advantage is beauty, but the easiest thing for people of their class to obtain is the beauty that is superficial.

Although she had taken good care of Dongyao in the past six months, which was beyond his expectation.But some people are like this, able to grow rapidly in times of adversity.But once the crisis is resolved, they will be greedy for comfort and not enterprising.

But knowing a son is better than a father.The more he openly opposed, the greater Shen Xu's backlash.It's better to treat it cold first.

"Miao Lin and I are done." After a long silence, Shen Xu said quietly.He turned his head and looked out the window, but his heart sank slightly.

A son also understands his father.Shen Xu knew that although his father did not say it clearly, he disapproved of him and Cen Jia being together.

But so what?

The little girl who missed it once.Even if the whole world is against it, he will never give up on her again.

…………

Mr. Cen's nap was not long, only half an hour.

He called Cen Jia to the study, but he didn't make any detours with her. He went straight to the point and said, "Let's talk about it. What do you think about Xu Han?"

Of course there is no need to hide this kind of thing from Mr. Cen.Omitting all the parts related to Zhou Heng, Cen Jia told the story exactly.

Mr. Cen did not show any surprise.After listening, he was silent for a few seconds. He did not make any comments or instructions on the matter, but suddenly asked: "Jiajia, what do you think of Shen Xu?"

Cen Jia's scalp felt numb, and the alarm suddenly sounded.

She tried her best to behave naturally, without belittling or praising: "It's just... not bad. Anyway, compared with Hu Kaiwen and others, he is considered a young and promising person in the circle."

Mr. Cen raised his eyes to look at her. There were incomprehensible emotions in his cloudy eyes. "You also think he is young and promising?"

Cen Jia felt her smile stiffening: "I'm just seeking truth from facts."

Mr. Cen said "Yeah" and delivered a fatal blow: "I remember Cen Jun said that you liked him when you were in school. Do you still like him now?"
