Marrying a powerful man: The third master is wild and untamable

Chapter 24 His interest in Shen Xiu has waned

Shen Xiuwan said in a good voice: "Jincheng, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned the Chen family's young master in front of you. I will be more careful in the future."

Fu Jincheng frowned and paused slightly while turning the newspaper.

What does Shen Xiuwan mean by this?
  It was as if he was jealous of her.

But he doesn't like her.

He changed the subject: "How are you getting along with Chen Rong?"

Shen Xiuwan didn't notice the man's alienation and said softly: "Aunt Chen likes me very much. She even invited me to her house for lunch today. She took me to visit Yanjing and Jincheng. I only found out today that Yanjing and My hometown is really different!”

She was excitedly immersed in her memories, recounting her treasures: "Aunt Chen took me to the department store to buy things. There was everything there, including clothes, perfumes, jewelry, and all kinds of foreign gadgets. I was dazzled! There was also an elevator. , Jincheng, that was my first time taking an elevator! It’s so rare, you can go from the first floor to the fifth floor without even moving! There is also a barber shop, it turns out that many girls now like to perm their hair——"

Seeing that there was no emotion on Fu Jincheng's face, she couldn't help but shut her mouth.

She is so stupid. Jincheng already despises her for not seeing the world, and she talks about these things like she's pouring beans. Doesn't this make him despise her even more?
  He had never seen or heard anything. What was new in her eyes was probably just ordinary in his eyes.

She thought about it and looked at Fu Jincheng carefully, her tone unable to conceal the flattering tone: "Jincheng, am I talking too much and annoying you?"

Fu Jincheng turned over a page of the newspaper: "No."

Shen Xiuwan breathed a sigh of relief.

She smiled lively and said: "Jincheng, I see that Aunt Chen is a very kind and easy-to-talk elder. Maybe we shouldn't deceive her. Even if we tell the truth, she should be willing to arrange for her husband to sit down and talk with you. of."

Fu Jincheng's face darkened.

He closed the newspaper and stared at Shen Xiuwan.

The darkness and coldness behind the lenses made Shen Xiuwan secretly frightened.

Her face turned pale and she straightened up subconsciously: "Jin...Jincheng...I'm sorry, I shouldn't have made my own decisions..."

Fu Jincheng was silent.

The girl who was lively and innocent just now seemed to have become a timid and restrained quail again.

But he obviously just glanced at her, why was she so afraid of him?

His interest in Shen Xiu waned.

……

Shen Xiuwan played with Chen Rong for half a month before following Fu Jincheng's instructions and inviting Chen Rong's family to see the exhibition on the pretext of holding a small embroidery exhibition.

In the Pearl Cafe, Shen Xiuwan handed the invitation to Chen Rong: "Aunt Chen, my mother thinks that embroidery is also very popular in the north, so she specially mailed dozens of embroidery pieces a few days ago and asked me to sell them. Follow me. Aunt Chen, I have seen a lot of things in the world in the past half month, and I want to attract more customers by holding exhibitions. Aunt Chen, you are my noble person, I would like to ask you and Mr. Jin to show your face and come to see My embroidery exhibition.”

"So, I can feast my eyes and see more exquisite embroidery? It's great!" She caressed the invitation card with the flower and bird patterns, "Awan, don't worry, our whole family will be able to do it by then." Come over and cheer you up."

The exhibition is located in the Zhuhuang Pavilion, half a mile away from Xiangji Temple.

The Zhuhuang Pavilion is a Chinese-style building built with Xiangfei bamboo. It is an antique building near mountains and rivers. It is famous for its vegetarian food. It is often reserved by dignitaries to discuss business or hold banquets.

Shen Xiuwan's embroidery exhibition is scheduled for weekend dusk. As the moon rises, the lights inside and outside the museum turn on. The light bulbs are covered by bamboo covers, making it look quiet and elegant.

The late autumn wind blew from the direction of Xiangji Temple, making the long night a bit chilly. Shen Xiuwan, with her hair in an elegant low bun, wearing a brand new lotus petal red long-sleeved cheongsam and an off-white thin woolen knee-length windbreaker, was greeting guests at the entrance of the Zhuhuang Pavilion.

Many of the guests were introduced by Chen Rong. They were prominent and generous, and their husbands served as high-ranking officials in the military and political yamen. Because his wife was interested and to give Chen Rong face, she accompanied them in person.

Jin Hu's car stopped not far away.

Shen Xiuwan greeted him and said with a smile: "Aunt Chen, Mr. Jin!"

Chen Rong held her hand lovingly: "My hands are a little cold, Awan, you are wearing too little."

Hearing this, Jin Yingbai immediately took off his coat: "Sister Wan, you wear my-"

"Thank you," Shen Xiuwan declined gently, "When autumn and winter come, my hands and feet get cold. I'm used to it. It's not a big deal. Aunt Chen, haven't you eaten yet? I specially prepared it in the private room upstairs. A table full of vegetarian dishes, let’s eat first and then watch the exhibition.”

Chen Rong led her to the Zhuhuang Pavilion and said: "Cold hands and feet are caused by insufficient Qi and blood. You are young and inexperienced. You don't know that we women are most afraid of lack of Qi and blood. I think the relative you are seeking refuge with may be a hope." If you can’t, tomorrow I’ll ask someone to stew some nourishing soup, and you can come to our house to drink the soup.”

Shen Xiuwan responded "Hey" obediently and followed her into the Bamboo House.

Jin Hu followed behind. He was a slightly stout middle-aged man with shiny biparted hair, his belly was bulging and his hands were clasped, looking around curiously.

Various embroideries were hung in the museum, and many guests stopped to admire them.

Although it looks lively, the surroundings are a bit too quiet.

Maybe it's because it's located on the outskirts of the city.

He thought so, still looking wary.

After all, tomorrow is the day when he and John officially sign the contract, and the Fu family boy is a powerful character. In the past six months, he has tried every means to hinder their cooperation. He has to be cautious at this critical moment.

If not for his wife's request, he would never show up at such a boring exhibition.

He motioned to the armed guards behind him to follow closely.

The elegant room is spacious, and the floor is covered with dark purple bamboo mats that can be seen through the light.

The large carved mahogany round table is filled with fine wine and delicacies, retro chandeliers hang from the roof, and the round flower window faces the Xiangji Temple halfway up the mountain, with a lonely moon hanging high on the mountain.

Shen Xiuwan warmly welcomed them to sit down, with an innocent smile that could not be concealed on her face: "I invite Aunt Chen's family to come over tonight, not only to view the exhibition, but also to boldly introduce a guest to Mr. Jin."

Jin Hu asked: "I wonder who it is?"

Shen Xiuwan turned sideways and sweetly called to the screen behind her: "Jincheng."

Jin Hu's expression suddenly changed.

The screen was slowly pushed open.

The young man who appeared behind the screen was wearing a tailor-made military and political yamen uniform. He was sitting lazily on a heavy mahogany official hat chair, with his long legs spread leisurely and his elbows resting on the armrests. He looked dignified and dignified. relaxation.

He looked directly at Jin Hu, the cold light on his lenses faded, and his narrow eyes were deep and sarcastic.

He curled his thin lips: "It's really difficult to see Commander Jin."
