Blackening starts from the golden years

Chapter 237 Zhong Xiaoqin’s Marriage
In the evening, Gu Jia's house.

Looking at Xu Huanshan who was sitting on the sofa a little unhappy, Gu Jia brought two glasses of red wine and said with a smile:
"Husband, do we have to celebrate today?"

Xu Huanshan said nothing. He took a glass of red wine from Gu Jia's hand, clinked the glass with her, and then drank silently.

Seeing him like this, Gu Jia sat down next to him. She smiled and comforted:
"Husband, I know you are a little unhappy today, but after all, we have won such a big order, which can relieve the pressure on the company now, right?"

Hearing this, Xu Huanshan took a sip of red wine and sighed:

"Ever since I lost the deal with Lao Wan, I've actually been blaming myself. The company was almost unsustainable, so when you first told me that you wanted to take over the deal with Paradise, I didn't even dare to think about it. , it turned out to be successful, and it was so simple. I prepared my previous works and design drafts, thinking that you should at least take a look at the design plans and compare the drafts. In the end, people said that as long as you have the qualification to discharge, it will be fine. You said this What's it called?"

After hearing what Xu Huanshan said, Gu Jia smiled and said:
"I didn't expect it to be that simple, but that's a good thing, right?"

"Yes, it's a good thing."

Xu Huanshan smiled and said:

"Anyway, our family is on the right track now. Our son is in kindergarten, and the company has received such a big order. Wife, shouldn't you go back to the company to help me?"

"I don't want to go back to the company."

"why?"

Looking at Gu Jia, Xu Huanshan said:
"Then we agreed before we had the baby that a stay-at-home wife is temporary."

"I'll tell you the truth."

Looking at Xu Huanshan, Gu Jia looked a little excited and said:

"Now I want to specialize in the field of wives. Maybe I can find new opportunities in this way. Those wives, their families do not only do one business, but all walks of life. I feel that our family should be like this, too. If you only engage in the fireworks business, your ability to resist risks is still too low. I know that I am not the same type of person as those ladies, but they have the resources our family needs. As long as they miss a little, it will be enough for our family. If I hadn't moved into this building and met Mrs. Wang, how could such a good thing have happened?"

Looking at Gu Jia, who was full of excitement, Xu Huanshan's face looked a little unpleasant, and he said in a deep voice:
"It's the most dangerous idea if you have this idea. How can you not be affected if you hang out with that group of people for a long time? When I came into contact with them today, I think they are particularly hypocritical. If Mr. Yu cheats while playing ball, he is not in the same league as us. People."

Gu Jia couldn't listen to what Xu Huanshan said now. She smiled and said:

"The most important thing is, we got this deal, right?"

Xu Huanshan could not refute Gu Jia's words. At this time, Gu Jia continued:

"Are you right? There is a big gap between me and them? It's just because the gap is so big that I won't be affected, because I can't reach it. Are you right?"

Looking at Gu Jia, who had already made up his mind, Xu Huanshan couldn't help but sigh softly and asked:
"Have you already figured out what to do?"

"Well, let me tell you."

Looking at Xu Huanshan, Gu Jia said excitedly:
"There is an afternoon tea in the wife's circle, which is actually an information exchange meeting. All the news about business opportunities gathers there, so I have to think carefully about what I should do."

Looking at the very excited Gu Jia, Xu Huanshan began to become silent.

……

The next morning, Zhong Xiaoqin's house.

Early in the morning, Zhong’s mother came to the door. The person who opened the door was Zhong Xiaoqin. Seeing her mother, Zhong Xiaoqin couldn’t help but said:
"Mom, why did you come right here without saying hello?"

"I go to my own daughter's house, what do I say hello?"

Mother Zhong smiled and said, while she was talking, she walked into the house, and Zhong Xiaoqin followed her and shouted loudly:

"Chen Yu, my mother is here."

It's not that Zhong Xiaoqin doesn't want her mother to come to her home, but Chen Yu doesn't want to, and he always quarrels with Zhong Xiaoqin because of this.

Hearing Zhong Xiaoqin's shout, Chen Yu walked out of the fish room carrying the bait bucket. Although he felt unhappy in his heart, on the surface he still looked at Zhong's mother and smiled:
"Mom, why are you here?"

"Hurry, come with me quickly, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up."

Mother Zhong smiled happily. Seeing her like this, Zhong Xiaoqin and Chen Yu were a little confused.

"What are you doing?"

"Where are you going?"

"Hey, where else are you going?"

Looking at Chen Yu, Mother Zhong said happily:
"Don't worry, Xiaoqin is pregnant. Hurry up and go to the hospital to set up a file. I think you shouldn't hide it from me. Where is the medical insurance card?"

Hearing what Zhong's mother said, Chen Yu couldn't help but look at Zhong Xiaoqin and asked:
"Did you tell mom?"

"No."

Zhong Xiaoqin opened her eyes slightly and replied. Zhong's mother looked for Zhong Xiaoqin's medical insurance card in the cabinet and smiled:
"It wasn't Xiaoqin who told me, it was your mother who called me and told me. I thought it was your first time and you were inexperienced, so you have to listen to me and find your medical insurance card. Let's go to the hospital quickly. Now, there’s a lot to do in arranging beds.”

"okay."

Zhong Xiaoqin glanced at Chen Yu and saw that his face looked a little unhappy.

Chen Yu didn't want this child, but he didn't dare to tell his mother-in-law directly. He could only wink at Zhong Xiaoqin, trying to get her to say she didn't want the child. Obviously, he didn't know that there was something wrong with his approach. Otherwise, why wouldn't he dare to tell Zhong Xiaoqin's mother himself?
He doesn't want this child, and he wants to put all the blame on Zhong Xiaoqin. It can only be said that Chen Yu is quite selfish. He wants Zhong Xiaoqin to abort the child, but he doesn't want to bear a negative image himself. How can such a cheap thing be done?

"Chen Yu, hurry up and change your clothes. Why are you going out now?"

Mother Zhong smiled and said, Zhong Xiaoqin didn't say that she didn't want children, so Chen Yu could only smile and said:

"I understand, Mom, just wait for me for a while."

"Hurry up, Chen Yu, I'm telling you, Xiaoqin is pregnant. You can't make her angry again in the future."

"know."

Chen Yu put down the bait bucket and walked into the bedroom to change clothes as if he was half-dead. Seeing him like this, Zhong Xiaoqin became angry. Mother Zhong didn't think it was anything. In her eyes, her son-in-law has always been like this, a bit gloomy, except He was not motivated to do anything about tinkering with fish, his son-in-law was not very reliable, and she was worried that her daughter could not take care of her, so she often came over to cook and clean the house. The two families were not far apart, so it was not a problem.

"Xiaoqin, the same goes for your child. Why didn't you tell your mother about such a big pregnancy?"

"I haven't had time to say it yet, hehe~~"

Zhong Xiaoqin smiled stupidly and said, with parents who love her so much, Chen Yu is nothing, and he wants her to keep a distance from her parents. Only a fool listens to him. Her husband can not want her, but how can she not want her parents?

"You don't feel any discomfort physically, do you?"

"No, I'm fine. Mom, thank you for raising me to this age."

"What did you say?"

Looking at Zhong Xiaoqin who was smiling silly, Mother Zhong said cheerfully:
"You are my daughter. Isn't it my duty to raise you?"

"Yeah, thank you, mom."

With that said, Zhong Xiaoqin hugged her mother and acted coquettishly.

"Mom, I will take care of you from now on."

"Okay, my good daughter will support me."

"I still have to support my dad."

"Okay, your father has a pension, which will be used to support my grandchildren."

"Isn't that too cheap for Chen Yu?"

……

On the other side, Misia's store.

"Ms. Chen, please walk slowly. Thank you for coming."

After seeing off Ms. Chen who had customized a set of high-end jewelry, Wang Manni returned to the store. The deputy store manager applauded her and said with a smile:

"Manni, congratulations. You completed two million-dollar orders in one month. The store manager already knows about it, and she also said that she will apply for special approval from the headquarters and directly promote you to sales director."

"Thank you, thank you to the assistant store."

“And as an added bonus, a European cruise.”

The deputy store manager smiled and said:
"But I'm begging you, can you go there when you're not busy? Ask for leave and go at any time."

"Thank you, deputy store."

"Manni, congratulations."

"Congratulations."

"Thank you, thank you everyone."

Everyone congratulated Wang Manni one after another. Xida looked at the deputy store manager and said coquettishly:

"Vice store, I want to go there too."

"Eh heh~~"

The deputy store manager went back acting coquettishly, and then said with a straight face:

"work."

"Vice shop~~"

Under Xida's sad eyes, the deputy store manager twisted his hips and walked away. At this time, Nancy pinched Wang Manni's arm and said with envy:
"Manni, I'm so jealous."

"Okay, okay, why are you jealous?"

Wang Manni smiled and said:
"I'll bring you a gift then."

"You agreed."

"Ok."

At this time, a male customer walked into the store. Linda, who was jealous of Wang Manni, walked directly past Wang Manni and smiled:

"The male guest is here, please entertain him."

After watching Linda leave, Nancy whispered in Wang Manni's ear:

"I feel unbalanced. You took her supervisory position." "It's okay."

Wang Manni smiled, she was happy in her heart and was too lazy to be like Linda, a red-eyed girl.

……

At night, Yuan Xudong's home.

"All right."

Wang Manni brought two plates of celery dumplings to the table. She looked at Yuan Xudong and smiled:
"I haven't made any for a long time, so I don't know how it tastes."

“You can tell it’s delicious just by looking at it.”

Yuan Xudong smiled and said as he ate a plate of celery dumplings. Wang Manni looked at him expectantly and asked:
"what about the taste?"

"It's delicious and fragrant. I just like eating celery dumplings."

"Then eat more."

"Ok."

"Today our deputy store said..."

While Wang Manni was eating dumplings, she told Yuan Xudong the good news that she was going to be promoted to the sales manager of the Misia store and that the company would reward her with a European cruise trip.

After speaking, she looked at Yuan Xudong and asked expectantly:
"Xudong, can you accompany me on the cruise then?"

"Okay."

Looking at Wang Manni, Yuan Xudong directly agreed:

"When I come to Shanghai next time, I will go on a cruise with you."

"Next time you come to Magic City?"

Looking at Yuan Xudong, the smile on Wang Manni's face slowly faded and she asked:
"Where are you going and when will you be back?"

"I'm going back to Shenzhen to stay for a while, about ten days and a half. By the way, I'll give this to you."

Yuan Xudong placed a China Merchants Bank credit card in front of Wang Manni. Looking at the credit card, Wang Manni said unhappily:
"W-what do you mean?"

"Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to support you."

Looking at Wang Manni, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"When I'm not with you, if you encounter something urgent and need money and you can't contact me, can't this credit card be used for emergencies? In this case, I can leave with peace of mind, right? "

"But……"

"obedient."

Wang Manni wanted to say something else, but Yuan Xudong interrupted her directly:
"Hurry up and eat your dumplings. We'll have a meeting when we're done."

"What's the meeting?"

Wang Manni blushed with embarrassment. She lowered her head and ate the dumplings, and said shyly:

"Shameless~~"

……

After eating the celery dumplings, Wang Manni went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, and Yuan Xudong stood behind her to help her wash them.

"Uh-huh……"

"Manni, do you feel comfortable?"

"Well, comfortable, comfortable, um..."

"Can I help you wash the dishes?"

"No, please be gentle, um..."

……

On the other side, Zhong Xiaoqin was having dinner with colleagues in the company. A male colleague was about to get married. He asked Zhong Xiaoqin to help write an oath to be read at the wedding.

"Together we face aging, forgetfulness and..."

After listening to this oath, everyone burst into laughter and said:

"Xiaoqin, that's great. Asking you to write reports every day is just a waste of your writing skills."

"That's right, if you put this oath at the wedding, you will definitely win."

"Let me tell you, this is a man, a wedding vow, and a gunman."

"Yes."

"Ha ha……"

The atmosphere at the scene was very happy, and Zhong Xiaoqin was also very happy. At this time, a female colleague looked at Zhong Xiaoqin and asked:
"Xiaoqin, you and your husband must be very happy, otherwise how could you write such an affectionate vow?"

Others followed:
"That's right, Xiaoqin, is this your husband's wedding vow back then?"

"Definitely, definitely."

"Xiaoqin, do you think so?"

Seeing everyone looking at her, Zhong Xiaoqin smiled awkwardly and said:

"We're not having a wedding."

"why?"

"My husband felt stupid and said that the two of them were standing on the stage like monkeys."

"Oh my God, what's the point of getting married if there's no wedding?"

"That is, if there is no wedding, then why don't you still wear a wedding dress and take wedding photos?"

Looking at everyone, Zhong Xiaoqin said with a smile:
"I didn't wear a wedding dress, and I didn't take any wedding photos."

"Oh my God, how did you get married?"

"My husband and I met on a blind date. He gave me a ring, and then we went to get the certificate."

"Gone?"

"Gone."

Zhong Xiaoqin shook his head. Everyone present was speechless, and even a male colleague wailed sadly:

"Xiaoqin, why haven't I met a girlfriend as good as you? How much money will I save by getting married like this?"

Men envy Zhong Xiaoqin's husband. On the contrary, women denounce him.

"Let me tell you, if my boyfriend dares to say that he won't hold a wedding and just get a certificate, I will break up with him immediately. What does this mean? He doesn't take me seriously, right?"

"That's right, this is too perfunctory, isn't it? If you don't hold a wedding, don't wear a wedding dress, and don't take wedding photos, then why get married?"

"Weddings are all about fulfilling your women's fantasies, okay?"

"Nonsense, a wedding is a ceremony. If he doesn't even want a wedding for his wife, what would a man like him do?"

"That is, such a man either has no sense of responsibility, or his thinking is different from that of ordinary people. Is he mentally ill?"

"Xiaoqin, we are discussing the matter, not your husband. Don't mind."

"It's okay, I won't mind."

Zhong Xiaoqin said with a silly smile.

……

After eating, Zhong Xiaoqin was a little envious when she saw other female colleagues whose husbands or boyfriends came to pick them up, so she called Chen Yu.

After a while of ringing, the phone was connected, and Zhong Xiaoqin said coquettishly:

"Hey, hubby, I'm done here, can you come pick me up?"

"Are you drinking too much?"

"No, I can't drink while pregnant. I just want you to pick me up."

"I'm busy here. You can take a taxi back."

"What's the matter with you? Aren't you just packing your fish? You..."

Chen Yu hung up the phone directly. At this time, a colleague looked at Zhong Xiaoqin and said with a smile:

"Xiaoqin, come with us."

"No, my husband will be here soon, thank you."

"Then let's go first."

"Ok, bye."

"Bye, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

After everyone left one after another, Zhong Xiaoqin took a taxi home. Looking at the neon lights regressing outside the car window, she was lost in thought, recalling the past.

Her mother urged her to get married. She went on a blind date and met Chen Yu. Then he gave her a diamond ring, received a certificate, and had a casual meal. Even if the marriage was concluded, she didn't know why she wanted to marry Chen Yu because Chen Yu Yu wanted to get married, and her mother urged her to get married, and then they got married.
