Awakening Secret
Chapter 23 Eccentricity and Overbearing
Chapter 23 Eccentricity and Overbearing
"Li Luo, how much does little uncle give you?" Shang Yan asked her again, smiling.
97... Li Luo was embarrassed to say it, like a good grade obtained by cheating, she first asked Shang Yan: "Shang Yan, what score do you have?"
"89 points." Shang Yan told her, pulling the corners of his lips and said, "Not bad, better than I imagined."
89!Shangyan is only 89... Li Luo is even more ashamed to reveal his score.She and Shang Yan have the same level of experimentation and reporting, 8 points more for no reason, it is a naked unspoken rule... Confused, Li Luo raised her head and said, "I am also a little better than I imagined."
Shang Yan looked at her expectantly, and said firmly, "You must be taller than me."
Li Luo pursed her lips: "Yes... be better."
Shang Yan smiled, so how much is the little uncle partial?Outside the door, there were two low coughing sounds.Shang Yan and Li Luo turned their heads together and looked at Xie Yuning who was standing by the door of the study room.
Xie Yuning asked, "Have you checked all the grades?"
Shang Yan nodded, because it was the little uncle, he complained directly: "Little uncle, why don't you give me one more point, and my grade point will be blocked."
"I'm afraid you'll be proud." Xie Yuning replied to Shangyan, perfunctory beyond description, and then looked at Li Luo.
Li Luo looked back at Xie Yuning, her heart beat faster, her guilt was indescribable.
Shang Yan remembered the phone call from his mother just now, and it happened that his little uncle came over, and immediately started his own notification work, and said, "Little uncle, my mother asked you and Li Luo to come to my house for dinner tomorrow."
Xie Yuning: "... Got it." Then, without staying any longer, she turned and left.
As soon as I knew it, I agreed with Li Luo.Li Luo stood in the study room, sat down, and rolled his eyes.Did she and Xie Yuning break up or not?
Of course there is no point, what kind of breakup is a unilateral breakup!Xie Yuning sat in the office on the third floor, opened Li Luo's file, and saw a single photo of Li Luo; in the photo, a pair of extremely beautiful eyes were slightly squinted, as if looking at him through the computer screen.
What kind of girl is Li Luo?It's just which side will it be? Is it her hole card and background color?
Xie Yuning closed her eyes, the image of Li Luo crying yesterday appeared in front of her eyes, her mood was suddenly irritable, as if troubled by many things she didn't understand; for example, what kind of sadness was hidden in Li Luo that he couldn't understand?
During the lunch break, Xie Yuning also received a call from her sister.Xie Yuning was a little surprised that her sister was hesitant to speak on the phone but stopped talking. "I will definitely bring Xiao Luo here." He agreed first.
"Xiao Luo" is a unique nickname for her own girl, with a strong sense of possession.Through the radio waves, Xie Jingyi couldn't tell at all that her younger brother and Li Luo were in a relationship crisis.
Merchant, when Shang Yu came back, Xie Jingyi and her family and two aunts were ordering the fresh ingredients needed tomorrow; after explaining, Xie Jingyi raised her head and said to Shang Yu: "Tomorrow, I would like to invite Yun Ning and Li Luo to come to my house for dinner .”
Shang Yu nodded his head to show that he knew, and did not show any unnecessary emotions.For a long time, Shang Yu's attitude towards Xie's family has been that he has no attitude; no matter whether he goes to Xie's family for dinner or invites Xie's family to eat at home, Shang Yu will agree.
Even though Li Luo who was invited now is not a Xie family member.
Her husband's expression didn't show any abnormality, Xie Jingyi lowered her head and said, "I'll put hot water for you to take a bath."
"No need." Shang Yu held his wife's wrist and said, "You've been tired all day, I'll do it myself."
Xie Jingyi hummed lightly, but said nothing more.After the island city compromised, Shang Yu basically arrived home on time every day, but the husband and wife became more and more respectful to each other.Even though the problems have been clarified and clarified, the gap is getting deeper and deeper; where is the problem between the two of them?Wasn't it enough for her to step back this far?
Yesterday, Xie Jingyi saw a sentence in a marriage article reposted on WeChat, a husband and wife are a boat sailing against the current, maybe the first second is calm, and the next second there is a big wave... But how does she feel, Shang Yu seems to have always been Not on the boat of the two of them, but just standing on the shore to watch the scenery.
Shang Yu went upstairs, and Xie Jingyi also went upstairs. Instead of returning to the bedroom, she went to her son Shang Yan's bedroom.Lin Xiyin took the initiative to contact her yesterday, and the relationship between her and Xiyin is naturally not as good as before.What Xiyin did made Xie's family lose face, and she wanted to cut off contact, but yesterday Xiyin took the initiative to contact her and apologized to her, and Xie Jingyi couldn't hold back her face.
In addition to apologizing, Xiyin also told her a past story about Xiyin's dead sister and her husband.Lin Xiyin said: "Jingyi, I thought everything was a coincidence. I thought it was just a simple resemblance, so I didn't tell you. It's just that there are some things that are really strange, so I want to tell you... We have known each other for many years. No more than others."
Then, Xi Yin gave her a photo.It was an old but vivid photo of two people together. On the black velvet lawn of the villa, there stood a pair of young men and women standing side by side.The man was imposing, and his baggy brown suit couldn't hide his familiar heroic appearance. Xie Jingyi could naturally recognize that the man was her husband's young appearance.
The girl standing with her husband was pretty and beautiful, with long black hair wearing a pretty peaked cap. More than 20 years of photos, the girl is still dressed in a foreign style and eye-catching.Xie Jingyi just found it unbelievable that the girl in this photo looked so much like a person—Miss Li.
Xie Jingyi took the photo and brought it home; she felt that it was not appropriate to put it in the bedroom or the study, so she hid it in the bookshelf of her son Shangyan's bedroom, in the gap between a row of professional books.
There is endless confusion and uncertainty in my heart.When Xie Jingyi returned to the bedroom, her husband Shang Yu had already taken a shower.The man is standing on the terrace, with his right hand hanging down, and a cigarette between his fingers, flickering with sparks.
Shang Yu raised his head and took a puff. When he saw her come in, he extinguished the cigarette on the balcony railing and pinched it in the palm of his hand.In the breath, there is still a faint white smoke slowly escaping.In the surrounding air, there is also a lingering choking tobacco smell.
After catching one, Shang Yu sighed.
"Didn't you quit?" Xie Jingyi asked, "The addiction has come up again?"
Shang Yu replied with a low smile, "A little bit."
Xie Jingyi frowned, repeating the old saying: "Smoking is not good for your health."
Shang Yu tried to explain: "Only occasionally."
Xie Jingyi: "Occasionally not."
"Okay..." Shang Yu was speechless, and looked at the stars above his head with disinterestedness. It was rare to see so many stars on a winter night. Thinking about it, tomorrow should be a sunny day.
Xie Jingyi stood next to Shang Yu, suddenly smiled, and pretended to be casual about a secret of another family: "Does Lao Du know that the family brought in a son two days ago, and it is said that Lao Du gave birth to a son outside... ..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Jingyi regretted it, it was really an embarrassing and sarcastic chat topic.
Sure enough, Shang Yu laughed twice, seemed to understand the meaning of her topic, and said to her clearly and bluntly: "Don't worry, I don't have an illegitimate child outside, and Shang Yan is my only son."
Xie Jingyi: "..."
Shang Yu went back to the bedroom.
Xie Jingyi looked at Shang Yu's back who was about to rest, and turned to look at the vast night.There are no illegitimate children, so what about illegitimate daughters?
On the other side, Li Luo was lying on a rocking chair on the terrace, crossing his legs, thinking about going to Shang Yan's house for dinner tomorrow.Originally, she really wanted to have a relationship with Xie Jingyi, but now she has broken up with Xie Yuning, and she doesn't want to continue to add any affection; lest she will be confused sometimes.
But at this juncture, Xie Jingyi invited her to a restaurant for dinner...
The next day, the weather was clear and clear, a rare warm sunny day in winter.Then ended today, and ended the research and study tasks of Qinghuai Institute of Biochemistry.Staying in the research institute for the last day, he naturally couldn't be in a bad mood.
Li Luo wore a new set of clothes bought online. The top was a shiny dark blue velvet jacket, which was very fancy. It was paired with neat black trousers and khaki fringed boots, which looked energetic and good-looking.People who have died once are still so stinky, Li Luo laughed at himself in his heart, and raised his eyebrows in the mirror: Is it stinky, or do you want to appear beautiful in Xie Yuning's eyes?
Is there a difference?Even if she broke up, she still couldn't die of coquettishness.
As a result, she was dressed so beautifully, and the last day she stayed in the biochemical laboratory was cleaning.There are no experimental tasks, and there is no need to write experimental reports and data analysis, just clean up and clean the study room used by the two together with Shang Yan.
Li Luo tidied up two boxes and took them back. They were all things she had used. Faced with the items to be taken away, she felt inexplicably depressed.
"Professor, I figured it out. I think it's better to follow your footsteps than the person who pursues you..."
What she said to Xie Yuning in the past is also vivid in my ears, but now I think of it as a joke.Li Luo pursed her lips, went up to the third floor, and returned Qing Huai's identification card.
There was no one in Xie Yuning's office. Li Luo put the card on the table, looked outside in a daze, and was about to turn around—"Professor..."
Xie Yuning appeared at the door of the office, wearing a lab coat that had not been taken off, and seemed to have stood there for a while.The eyes of the two met, and Xie Yuning walked in; he closed the door of the office casually.
Li Luo leaned against the table, momentarily embarrassed.
Xie Yuning walked in front of her, the distance was less than five centimeters, as long as he lowered his head slightly, they were close together; the familiar breath approached, Xie Yuning said: "Wait for me in the evening, and go to my sister's house for dinner together."
This attitude and tone is still a domineering boyfriend!Li Luo wanted to remind Xie Yuning about the breakup, but Xie Yuning had already crossed the table and sat down, sorting out a document. "Anything else to say?" he asked her.
Emboldened, Li Luo said, "Professor, that piece of paper about breaking up..." Did you see it?
"Tear it up." Xie Yuning said, raising her head, "I'll just pretend I didn't see what was said above—don't make such jokes in the future."
Li Luo blinked: "..." She was not joking.
In the evening, Li Luo and Shang Yan came to Xie Yuning's car with the box in their arms.Xie Yuning put her suitcase into the trunk, walked around the front, and said to her, "Take the co-pilot."
Li Luo coughed, how did Xie Yuning know that she didn't want to take the co-pilot...
An hour after Qinghuai Biochemical Institute arrived at Shang Yan's home, Li Luo sat in the co-pilot and planned to play a game all the way, but Xie Yuning ordered her to do things all the way until the car stopped at Shang Yan's villa.
Shang Yan's home is a mansion in a sycamore tree.
As a rich young man, Shang Yan is really the most low-key big boy she has ever seen.For the first visit, Li Luo prepared a small gift and brought it over, but when he got off the car, he found the gift in Xie Yuning's hand.Li Luo followed Xie Yuning's footsteps and stretched out his hand, wanting to return his gift.
The gift was not returned, so Xie Yuning was held by hand first; then Xie Yuning was led into the merchant, his sister's home.
Xie Jingyi was already waiting in the living room, smiling as she stepped forward; the room was well heated, and Xie Jingyi was wearing a beige cashmere sweater with white mother-of-pearl earrings, she was gentle and supple; seeing Xie Yunning holding a gift in her hand, she smiled and said: " Come to my sister's house for dinner, and what gifts should I bring?"
Xie Yuning explained: "It's from Li Luo."
Xie Jingyi took it away, her face was slightly strange, she turned her head to look at Li Luo: "Miss Li, thank you."
"It should be, thank you sister." Li Luo smiled brightly, and added a polite sentence, "It's a pleasure to come to Xie sister's house for dinner."
Looking at Li Luo, Xie Jingyi's mood became more complicated, and she put her emotions away and said, "Shang Yu will be home later, please sit down for a while."
Xie Yuning nodded, feeling even more strange.Not only was his sister abnormal today, but she also felt an indescribable estrangement and suspicion towards Li Luo.After all, this is a merchant's house, not Xie's. Xie Yuning first said to Shang Yan: "Take Li Luo to see your mother's greenhouse."
Shang Yan immediately agreed, he was worried that he would not have time to show Li Luo around his home.
Li Luo glanced at Xie Yuning, and followed Shang Yan to visit his home.In the living room, Xie Yuning said to her sister Xie Jingyi: "Sister, if you have anything, you can tell me first."
Xie Jingyi's greenhouse is at the back, and the long hut made of spruce is very beautiful.In the flower room, Li Luo watched the flowers and plants that Xie Jingyi planted and raised, and remembered Xie Yuning's description of her sister - a precious camellia in the greenhouse.
The precious camellia is more than enough than the gorgeous rose, but it lacks perseverance and self.
It can be seen that Xie Jingyi has taken good care of every plant in the greenhouse, not to mention her son Shangyan.It's just that sometimes it's not good to take care of others too much, and it's easy to forget yourself.Li Luo turned around and said to Shang Yan, "Shang Yan, you must have liked your mother more than your father when you were young."
Shang Yan blushed and nodded.Probably feeling a bit embarrassed that a boy prefers his mother, Shang Yan explained: "When I was young, I stayed with my grandparents more, and I always tended to my mother."
Li Luo nodded, expressing complete understanding.
Then, Shang Yan said to her, "I'll take you upstairs to have a look."
Li Luo: "Okay."
The second floor of the merchant villa is the living room and bedroom. Compared with the light brown exterior wall with dark red window tiles, the interior is decorated in a North American style, with dark-colored furniture mainly made of oak and birch; the whole is simple and elegant.Shang Yan said that his father was in charge of the decoration of the house, and Li Luo could imagine that such a style was indeed very Shang Yu.
Not knowing where Xie Yuning went, Li Luo turned his gaze, and then saw Xie Yuning and Xie Jingyi on the terrace outside the living room.The two seemed to be talking, but Li Luo didn't step forward to interrupt.
Shang Yan wanted to show Li Luo his room, but felt it was inappropriate.It was the first time Li Luo came to his house to play, so he naturally wanted to give Li Luo a good impression; thinking that Li Luo likes to play games, he said, "Do you want to play doubles? I downloaded a new game, but I haven't tried it yet."
Okay, Li Luo happily agreed.
The two returned to the living room on the first floor, and Shang Yan installed the newly bought video game on the TV—"XX Fantasy", a passionate game for two people playing doubles.Now the game is not as good as the single player that Li Luo played in the past, and the graphics and game design are becoming more and more high-tech; Li Luo has never played "XX Fantasy", watching Shangyan demonstrate the operation, blinking, it turns out that he can still play like this.
Li Luo felt that he was an ancient tomb school bumpkin who had never seen the world, and said to Shang Yan embarrassedly: "This is the first time I play this game, and I am not very good at it."
Shang Yan really didn't believe that there was any game that Li Luo couldn't play well, but he also smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll teach you."
On the large balcony of the living room on the second floor, Xie Yuning watched Li Luo go downstairs; just now she kept turning her eyes, was she looking for him?What a child, even with a lot of secrets and questions.Leaning on the balcony, Xie Yuning held the photo his sister handed him; he had already seen the photo, and it really surprised him a little.
I also understood why my sister invited him and Li Luo over for dinner today.
"Sister, what are you doubting?" Xie Yuning asked proactively, her tone was light and plain, without showing excessive surprise.
Xie Jingyi looked at the gradually darkening night, and didn't know how to speak; she didn't want to doubt Li Luo, but how could there be such a coincidence, and why were they so similar?She didn't fully believe Lin Xiyin's words, so she told her brother about it today.As for herself, she has already entered into mysteries one by one and lost her judgment.
Assuming that Li Luo is really the daughter of Shang Yu and the second Miss Lin, and deliberately approached to revenge Shang Yu and Shang Yan, how could she sit idly by?No mother wants her child to suffer any harm.Lin Xiyin said that last time at the coffee shop, Li Luo said categorically that her original lover was Shangyan...
"Sister, do you suspect that Li Luo is the legacy of her brother-in-law?" Xie Yuning directly expressed her sister's guess, and her tone was a little bit bad.
Xie Jingyi was silent.Yes, now in her mind is a dog-blood ethics movie she watched a few years ago. The abandoned daughter came back to take revenge on her father and half-brother.
Otherwise, how could Li Luo go back to China, go to the Qinghuai Institute of Biochemistry to study with Shang Yan, and now he is also cooperating with AC to develop new projects!Maybe Shang Yu already knew the truth, so he felt guilty... Xie Jingyi took a deep breath, feeling like she was going to be driven crazy by her guess.
Things are ridiculous, but all logic is sound, except Li Luo's age.However, is it normal to change a few years younger?In Xiyin's words, this matter must be thoroughly investigated.But, how does she want to check?
From the beginning to the end, Xie Yuning looked at her sister tangled and tangled, expressionless.There is no way to easily conclude things without sufficient evidence. It would be too absurd to guess based on a photo.
It's just that he really has no doubts?Suspected that Li Luo was abnormal.Yes, so he needs more accurate information to verify his guess.
"Yunning, what do you think if Li Luo is really Shang Yu's daughter?" Xie Jingyi asked Xie Yuning.
Xie Yuning took a deep breath, this possibility should be very small.
Xie Jingyi's thoughts began to fly again.If Miss Li is really Shang Yu's daughter, and she is ushered in like Lao Du, what will Shang Yan do, what will Yun Ning do?In name, if Li Luo became Shang Yan's sister, wouldn't Li Luo also become Yunning's nephew?Xie Jingyi stroked her forehead, once again being irritated by her own thoughts.
Because Shang Yu knew Miss Lin before her, Xie Jingyi didn't feel much betrayal anger this time, and even had a little sympathy for Li Luo.If Li Luo is really the daughter abandoned by Shang Yu, she is also a poor child; especially compared to Shang Yan who grew up in a complete family...
Xie Yuning knew what her sister was thinking, and guessed that her sister told him the matter because she was also worried about him and Li Luo.In fact, if Li Luo is really Shang Yu's daughter, what does it have to do with him?Could it be that Li Luo really became his niece?
Of course, there will still be some effects, such as brother-in-law will become... father-in-law.
A black car came in from the gate downstairs, Xie Yuning glanced down when her brother-in-law came back; Xie Jingyi also looked around, it was her husband Shang Yu who came back.Xie Yuning let out a sigh of relief, and said to her sister: "I'll investigate this matter. Before the matter comes out, sister don't have any doubts about Li Luo." After a pause, he added, "Promise me."
Xie Jingyi: "Okay..."
"So, where did you get this photo?" Xie Yuning looked at his sister, with unceremonious sharpness in his eyes.
Xie Jingyi: "... Xiyin gave it to me."
Xie Yuning rolled her eyes, no wonder.
Xie Jingyi was a little ashamed, and suddenly thought of one thing - the photo and diamond brooch she received last time.Facing her most trusted younger brother, Xie Jingyi brought a diamond brooch to Xie Yuning, and briefly described what happened.
Xie Yuning took the brooch, looked at it twice, and hummed.It's really unexpected that things happen one after another.
Xie Yuning put the brooch in his coat pocket, turned around and went downstairs, and Shang Yu just came in from outside; the two eyes met.The lighting in the living room was too bright, and each of them was a little bit scorching.The sofa in a corner of the living room was thumping, and Li Luo and Shang Yan were holding remote controls, playing a large-scale passionate competitive game; both of them were having fun, staring at the TV screen.
At the gate, the aunt stepped forward to pass the shoes, Shang Yu changed the shoes and entered the house; Xie Yuning put his hands in his pockets and walked down the spiral staircase slowly.The two stood together, and Shang Yu smiled and said, "Sorry, I'm late."
Xie Yuning replied politely: "Brother-in-law is busy, it's me and Li Luo who interrupted."
Shang Yu pulled his lips and smiled: "Come home for a meal, don't bother me if you have anything to do." After speaking, he glanced at the two people on the sofa, and then said to each other, "I didn't expect Li Luo and Shang Yan to play together the most. "
... This tone is really like an old father.Xie Yuning couldn't help but think of her sister's guess, if it was true, it would be terrible.Can he just want a daughter and not a father-in-law?
On the other side of the sofa, Shang Yan heard his father's voice coming back, and called back, "Dad, you're back."
It took only two seconds for Shang Yan to say hello, and Li Luo acted immediately in the game; Shang Yan called it insidious.
Seeing the scene of "siblings" getting along happily, Xie Jingyi who went downstairs was full of sadness.Before the dinner was served, Shang Yu and Xie Yuning watched Li Luo and Shang Yan play games together.After all, being a guest at someone else's house, Li Luo put down the remote control of the game and greeted Shang Yu.A very polite Uncle Shang.
Shang Yu had long been used to Li Luo saying "Uncle Shang" to him, and responded with a smile in his eyes, and said to Li Luo: "If you have time, come to the house to play more, and play games with Shang Yan... It's not bad."
These words and this tone... Xie Jingyi's temples standing next to her bulged.For some things, once there is a guess, it is even more to rely on the guess.Xie Jingyi guessed that what Shang Yu said to Li Luo was for the purpose of leading him into the house to cultivate feelings for him in the future?
Xie Yuning still had one hand in his coat pocket, holding a velvet box with a diamond brooch in his hand. I wonder which stranger would be so generous?Provide information and give expensive gifts to the other party.He knew only one person.
Suddenly being knocked on the head, Li Luo turned his head to look at Xie Yuning who beat her, raised his eyelids and asked: "Professor..." Well, why did you beat her!
Xie Yuning was still indifferent: "Wash your hands and eat."
Li Luo: "Oh..." stood up resentfully.
I said in my heart that it was really terrible, not only did I fail to break up successfully, but I was also physically and mentally destroyed by Xie Yunning.Li Luo walked out of the sofa and asked Xie Jingyi: "Sister Xie, I want to borrow the bathroom."
"Yes." Xie Jingyi agreed, trying to smile naturally, "Come with me."
Words and thoughts are the most difficult to hide, even if her younger brother told her not to doubt Li Luo, Xie Jingyi still asked when they were washing their hands in the bathroom together: "Miss Li, I heard Yunning say that your parents..."
"I was adopted." Li Luo replied, smiling at Xie Jingyi.Wiping the hand cream that Xie Jingyi handed over with both hands, she sniffed it, it smelled very light.It is said that AC has a product specially developed for Xie Jingyi, I don’t know if it is this one; the taste is as light as chrysanthemum, which is really suitable for Xie Jingyi’s temperament.After using up the hand cream, Li Luo thanked Xie Jingyi again.
"You're welcome..." Xie Jingyi inhaled lightly, looking at Li Luo's young and pretty face, her heart was sour and astringent and full of twists and turns.She has always longed to have a daughter, but she never expected that God would satisfy her in this way...
Think about it seriously, if Li Luo doesn't hurt Shang Yan, and Shang Yu wants to recognize Li Luo back, she should agree.Of course, if Shang Yu met the dead Second Miss Lin after getting married, Xie Jingyi would not be able to accept the existence of Li Luo.
Women, that's how they care about the order of time.
The merchant's dinner is naturally very rich.
At the American-style long table, Li Luo and Xie Yuning sat on one side, and the hostesses Xie Jingyi and Shang Yu sat opposite.Shang Yan and his aunt served the meal together, sat down at the other end, and said with a smile, "It's been a long time since I ate at home."
"You can still laugh." Xie Jingyi teased her son, "My family is in the local area, and I haven't seen you come back to eat a few times in a semester. You are not like Li Luo who came from abroad..." Xie Jingyi stopped because she felt that With sarcasm.
However, Li Luo, who didn't know it, couldn't hear it at all, and heyed happily.
Shang Yan replied, "Didn't I just go on vacation?"
Xie Jingyi shook her head, smiled at Li Luo, and gave Li Luo a dish, a famous Jiangzhou dish.She said to Li Luo: "I heard from Yunning that you like Jiangzhou cuisine. I specially asked Aunt Li to cook it. Try it and see if it suits your taste?"
Li Luo glanced at Xie Yuning, it turned out that it was not accidental that Jiangzhou cuisine appeared on the merchant's dining table.
Jiangzhou cuisine... Shang Yu glanced at the Jiangzhou cuisine in front of Li Luo, and asked his wife, "Aunt Li still cooks Jiangzhou cuisine?"
Xie Jingyi returned to Shang Yu: "Learn now and do it now."
Shang Yu smiled, tasted the same, and said in praise: "It tastes good, I can make more of it in the future."
Xie Jingyi: "..." Why do more?She began to think about her husband taking Li Luo home.
God.Xie Yuning leaned back on the dining chair, thinking that for tonight's meal, only Shang Yan could eat without thinking.
"Li Luo, eat more." Xie Jingyi said to Li Luo again.The whole attitude has lost the estrangement when entering the door, and returned to the original kindness and liking.
"Yunning, eat more too." Xie Jingyi also said to her younger brother.
"Oh." Xie Yuning responded and raised her eyelids.It's over... Although his sister is soft-hearted and easily entangled in things, she is not a hypocritical person. There is only one possibility for her sudden return of enthusiasm for Li Luo: You don't really want him to turn his girlfriend into a niece, do you?Thinking about it this way, Xie Yuning really didn't want to eat a bite of rice.Big loss!
The merchant's dinner is over, and it is already 8 o'clock at night.The garden outside was shrouded in night and light and shadows were dancing. The restaurant and the garden were separated by a large floor-to-ceiling glass, and the searchlights in the flower bed were lit; two nearby shrubs were trembling, because the wind was blowing outside.
But sitting in a warm restaurant, you can't feel the cold of any winter night.
Without any lingering and family talk, Xie Yuning pulled Li Luo up and said goodbye to his sister and Shang Yu: "It's getting late, Li Luo and I will go back first."
Xie Jingyi agreed: "Okay."
Shang Yan looked at the wall clock in the restaurant, is it late?
Some people didn't want to stay for a long time, and Shang Yu didn't force them to stay. He stood up and said, "Be careful on the road, remember to come and eat more."
Xie Yuning accepted this courtesy and exhortation, and said to Shang Yu: "Brother-in-law stay here."
"Okay." Shang Yu nodded.
Li Luo also said goodbye to Xie Jingyi and Shang Yan, put on his coat, and followed Xie Yuning out of the store; due to the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor, he was shivering head-on.
Today, in order to finally look good at Xie Yuning's place, she obviously wore less clothes.
There was an extra coat on her body, and Xie Yuning put the coat he brought out on her body.Li Luo folded her arms, and it became much warmer; wearing Xie Yuning's coat, she lowered her head silently all the way.
Xie Yuning didn't say anything until she came to the car, opened the passenger door, and said to her, "Get in the car."
Li Luo got into the car with a dull head, put his right hand in Xie Yuning's coat pocket, and suddenly touched a square box, what is it?Seeming to know what she touched, Xie Yuning reached out to her: "Give me what's in your pocket, it's very important, don't lose it."
Very important?Li Luo took out a pink box, but the long-lost girlish heart overcame IQ: Is there a diamond ring inside?Is Xie Yuning going to propose to her? OMG, how can she reject Xie Yunning, a domineering crab...
No matter what, she handed the box to Xie Yuning first, Xie Yuning glanced at her, and reached out to take the box back.Li Luo glanced at the box again, how familiar is this box?Instantly his hands stiffened.
This pink box is her own... But why is this box here with Xie Yuning?
OMG... this time, it's real OMG...
(End of this chapter)
"Li Luo, how much does little uncle give you?" Shang Yan asked her again, smiling.
97... Li Luo was embarrassed to say it, like a good grade obtained by cheating, she first asked Shang Yan: "Shang Yan, what score do you have?"
"89 points." Shang Yan told her, pulling the corners of his lips and said, "Not bad, better than I imagined."
89!Shangyan is only 89... Li Luo is even more ashamed to reveal his score.She and Shang Yan have the same level of experimentation and reporting, 8 points more for no reason, it is a naked unspoken rule... Confused, Li Luo raised her head and said, "I am also a little better than I imagined."
Shang Yan looked at her expectantly, and said firmly, "You must be taller than me."
Li Luo pursed her lips: "Yes... be better."
Shang Yan smiled, so how much is the little uncle partial?Outside the door, there were two low coughing sounds.Shang Yan and Li Luo turned their heads together and looked at Xie Yuning who was standing by the door of the study room.
Xie Yuning asked, "Have you checked all the grades?"
Shang Yan nodded, because it was the little uncle, he complained directly: "Little uncle, why don't you give me one more point, and my grade point will be blocked."
"I'm afraid you'll be proud." Xie Yuning replied to Shangyan, perfunctory beyond description, and then looked at Li Luo.
Li Luo looked back at Xie Yuning, her heart beat faster, her guilt was indescribable.
Shang Yan remembered the phone call from his mother just now, and it happened that his little uncle came over, and immediately started his own notification work, and said, "Little uncle, my mother asked you and Li Luo to come to my house for dinner tomorrow."
Xie Yuning: "... Got it." Then, without staying any longer, she turned and left.
As soon as I knew it, I agreed with Li Luo.Li Luo stood in the study room, sat down, and rolled his eyes.Did she and Xie Yuning break up or not?
Of course there is no point, what kind of breakup is a unilateral breakup!Xie Yuning sat in the office on the third floor, opened Li Luo's file, and saw a single photo of Li Luo; in the photo, a pair of extremely beautiful eyes were slightly squinted, as if looking at him through the computer screen.
What kind of girl is Li Luo?It's just which side will it be? Is it her hole card and background color?
Xie Yuning closed her eyes, the image of Li Luo crying yesterday appeared in front of her eyes, her mood was suddenly irritable, as if troubled by many things she didn't understand; for example, what kind of sadness was hidden in Li Luo that he couldn't understand?
During the lunch break, Xie Yuning also received a call from her sister.Xie Yuning was a little surprised that her sister was hesitant to speak on the phone but stopped talking. "I will definitely bring Xiao Luo here." He agreed first.
"Xiao Luo" is a unique nickname for her own girl, with a strong sense of possession.Through the radio waves, Xie Jingyi couldn't tell at all that her younger brother and Li Luo were in a relationship crisis.
Merchant, when Shang Yu came back, Xie Jingyi and her family and two aunts were ordering the fresh ingredients needed tomorrow; after explaining, Xie Jingyi raised her head and said to Shang Yu: "Tomorrow, I would like to invite Yun Ning and Li Luo to come to my house for dinner .”
Shang Yu nodded his head to show that he knew, and did not show any unnecessary emotions.For a long time, Shang Yu's attitude towards Xie's family has been that he has no attitude; no matter whether he goes to Xie's family for dinner or invites Xie's family to eat at home, Shang Yu will agree.
Even though Li Luo who was invited now is not a Xie family member.
Her husband's expression didn't show any abnormality, Xie Jingyi lowered her head and said, "I'll put hot water for you to take a bath."
"No need." Shang Yu held his wife's wrist and said, "You've been tired all day, I'll do it myself."
Xie Jingyi hummed lightly, but said nothing more.After the island city compromised, Shang Yu basically arrived home on time every day, but the husband and wife became more and more respectful to each other.Even though the problems have been clarified and clarified, the gap is getting deeper and deeper; where is the problem between the two of them?Wasn't it enough for her to step back this far?
Yesterday, Xie Jingyi saw a sentence in a marriage article reposted on WeChat, a husband and wife are a boat sailing against the current, maybe the first second is calm, and the next second there is a big wave... But how does she feel, Shang Yu seems to have always been Not on the boat of the two of them, but just standing on the shore to watch the scenery.
Shang Yu went upstairs, and Xie Jingyi also went upstairs. Instead of returning to the bedroom, she went to her son Shang Yan's bedroom.Lin Xiyin took the initiative to contact her yesterday, and the relationship between her and Xiyin is naturally not as good as before.What Xiyin did made Xie's family lose face, and she wanted to cut off contact, but yesterday Xiyin took the initiative to contact her and apologized to her, and Xie Jingyi couldn't hold back her face.
In addition to apologizing, Xiyin also told her a past story about Xiyin's dead sister and her husband.Lin Xiyin said: "Jingyi, I thought everything was a coincidence. I thought it was just a simple resemblance, so I didn't tell you. It's just that there are some things that are really strange, so I want to tell you... We have known each other for many years. No more than others."
Then, Xi Yin gave her a photo.It was an old but vivid photo of two people together. On the black velvet lawn of the villa, there stood a pair of young men and women standing side by side.The man was imposing, and his baggy brown suit couldn't hide his familiar heroic appearance. Xie Jingyi could naturally recognize that the man was her husband's young appearance.
The girl standing with her husband was pretty and beautiful, with long black hair wearing a pretty peaked cap. More than 20 years of photos, the girl is still dressed in a foreign style and eye-catching.Xie Jingyi just found it unbelievable that the girl in this photo looked so much like a person—Miss Li.
Xie Jingyi took the photo and brought it home; she felt that it was not appropriate to put it in the bedroom or the study, so she hid it in the bookshelf of her son Shangyan's bedroom, in the gap between a row of professional books.
There is endless confusion and uncertainty in my heart.When Xie Jingyi returned to the bedroom, her husband Shang Yu had already taken a shower.The man is standing on the terrace, with his right hand hanging down, and a cigarette between his fingers, flickering with sparks.
Shang Yu raised his head and took a puff. When he saw her come in, he extinguished the cigarette on the balcony railing and pinched it in the palm of his hand.In the breath, there is still a faint white smoke slowly escaping.In the surrounding air, there is also a lingering choking tobacco smell.
After catching one, Shang Yu sighed.
"Didn't you quit?" Xie Jingyi asked, "The addiction has come up again?"
Shang Yu replied with a low smile, "A little bit."
Xie Jingyi frowned, repeating the old saying: "Smoking is not good for your health."
Shang Yu tried to explain: "Only occasionally."
Xie Jingyi: "Occasionally not."
"Okay..." Shang Yu was speechless, and looked at the stars above his head with disinterestedness. It was rare to see so many stars on a winter night. Thinking about it, tomorrow should be a sunny day.
Xie Jingyi stood next to Shang Yu, suddenly smiled, and pretended to be casual about a secret of another family: "Does Lao Du know that the family brought in a son two days ago, and it is said that Lao Du gave birth to a son outside... ..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Jingyi regretted it, it was really an embarrassing and sarcastic chat topic.
Sure enough, Shang Yu laughed twice, seemed to understand the meaning of her topic, and said to her clearly and bluntly: "Don't worry, I don't have an illegitimate child outside, and Shang Yan is my only son."
Xie Jingyi: "..."
Shang Yu went back to the bedroom.
Xie Jingyi looked at Shang Yu's back who was about to rest, and turned to look at the vast night.There are no illegitimate children, so what about illegitimate daughters?
On the other side, Li Luo was lying on a rocking chair on the terrace, crossing his legs, thinking about going to Shang Yan's house for dinner tomorrow.Originally, she really wanted to have a relationship with Xie Jingyi, but now she has broken up with Xie Yuning, and she doesn't want to continue to add any affection; lest she will be confused sometimes.
But at this juncture, Xie Jingyi invited her to a restaurant for dinner...
The next day, the weather was clear and clear, a rare warm sunny day in winter.Then ended today, and ended the research and study tasks of Qinghuai Institute of Biochemistry.Staying in the research institute for the last day, he naturally couldn't be in a bad mood.
Li Luo wore a new set of clothes bought online. The top was a shiny dark blue velvet jacket, which was very fancy. It was paired with neat black trousers and khaki fringed boots, which looked energetic and good-looking.People who have died once are still so stinky, Li Luo laughed at himself in his heart, and raised his eyebrows in the mirror: Is it stinky, or do you want to appear beautiful in Xie Yuning's eyes?
Is there a difference?Even if she broke up, she still couldn't die of coquettishness.
As a result, she was dressed so beautifully, and the last day she stayed in the biochemical laboratory was cleaning.There are no experimental tasks, and there is no need to write experimental reports and data analysis, just clean up and clean the study room used by the two together with Shang Yan.
Li Luo tidied up two boxes and took them back. They were all things she had used. Faced with the items to be taken away, she felt inexplicably depressed.
"Professor, I figured it out. I think it's better to follow your footsteps than the person who pursues you..."
What she said to Xie Yuning in the past is also vivid in my ears, but now I think of it as a joke.Li Luo pursed her lips, went up to the third floor, and returned Qing Huai's identification card.
There was no one in Xie Yuning's office. Li Luo put the card on the table, looked outside in a daze, and was about to turn around—"Professor..."
Xie Yuning appeared at the door of the office, wearing a lab coat that had not been taken off, and seemed to have stood there for a while.The eyes of the two met, and Xie Yuning walked in; he closed the door of the office casually.
Li Luo leaned against the table, momentarily embarrassed.
Xie Yuning walked in front of her, the distance was less than five centimeters, as long as he lowered his head slightly, they were close together; the familiar breath approached, Xie Yuning said: "Wait for me in the evening, and go to my sister's house for dinner together."
This attitude and tone is still a domineering boyfriend!Li Luo wanted to remind Xie Yuning about the breakup, but Xie Yuning had already crossed the table and sat down, sorting out a document. "Anything else to say?" he asked her.
Emboldened, Li Luo said, "Professor, that piece of paper about breaking up..." Did you see it?
"Tear it up." Xie Yuning said, raising her head, "I'll just pretend I didn't see what was said above—don't make such jokes in the future."
Li Luo blinked: "..." She was not joking.
In the evening, Li Luo and Shang Yan came to Xie Yuning's car with the box in their arms.Xie Yuning put her suitcase into the trunk, walked around the front, and said to her, "Take the co-pilot."
Li Luo coughed, how did Xie Yuning know that she didn't want to take the co-pilot...
An hour after Qinghuai Biochemical Institute arrived at Shang Yan's home, Li Luo sat in the co-pilot and planned to play a game all the way, but Xie Yuning ordered her to do things all the way until the car stopped at Shang Yan's villa.
Shang Yan's home is a mansion in a sycamore tree.
As a rich young man, Shang Yan is really the most low-key big boy she has ever seen.For the first visit, Li Luo prepared a small gift and brought it over, but when he got off the car, he found the gift in Xie Yuning's hand.Li Luo followed Xie Yuning's footsteps and stretched out his hand, wanting to return his gift.
The gift was not returned, so Xie Yuning was held by hand first; then Xie Yuning was led into the merchant, his sister's home.
Xie Jingyi was already waiting in the living room, smiling as she stepped forward; the room was well heated, and Xie Jingyi was wearing a beige cashmere sweater with white mother-of-pearl earrings, she was gentle and supple; seeing Xie Yunning holding a gift in her hand, she smiled and said: " Come to my sister's house for dinner, and what gifts should I bring?"
Xie Yuning explained: "It's from Li Luo."
Xie Jingyi took it away, her face was slightly strange, she turned her head to look at Li Luo: "Miss Li, thank you."
"It should be, thank you sister." Li Luo smiled brightly, and added a polite sentence, "It's a pleasure to come to Xie sister's house for dinner."
Looking at Li Luo, Xie Jingyi's mood became more complicated, and she put her emotions away and said, "Shang Yu will be home later, please sit down for a while."
Xie Yuning nodded, feeling even more strange.Not only was his sister abnormal today, but she also felt an indescribable estrangement and suspicion towards Li Luo.After all, this is a merchant's house, not Xie's. Xie Yuning first said to Shang Yan: "Take Li Luo to see your mother's greenhouse."
Shang Yan immediately agreed, he was worried that he would not have time to show Li Luo around his home.
Li Luo glanced at Xie Yuning, and followed Shang Yan to visit his home.In the living room, Xie Yuning said to her sister Xie Jingyi: "Sister, if you have anything, you can tell me first."
Xie Jingyi's greenhouse is at the back, and the long hut made of spruce is very beautiful.In the flower room, Li Luo watched the flowers and plants that Xie Jingyi planted and raised, and remembered Xie Yuning's description of her sister - a precious camellia in the greenhouse.
The precious camellia is more than enough than the gorgeous rose, but it lacks perseverance and self.
It can be seen that Xie Jingyi has taken good care of every plant in the greenhouse, not to mention her son Shangyan.It's just that sometimes it's not good to take care of others too much, and it's easy to forget yourself.Li Luo turned around and said to Shang Yan, "Shang Yan, you must have liked your mother more than your father when you were young."
Shang Yan blushed and nodded.Probably feeling a bit embarrassed that a boy prefers his mother, Shang Yan explained: "When I was young, I stayed with my grandparents more, and I always tended to my mother."
Li Luo nodded, expressing complete understanding.
Then, Shang Yan said to her, "I'll take you upstairs to have a look."
Li Luo: "Okay."
The second floor of the merchant villa is the living room and bedroom. Compared with the light brown exterior wall with dark red window tiles, the interior is decorated in a North American style, with dark-colored furniture mainly made of oak and birch; the whole is simple and elegant.Shang Yan said that his father was in charge of the decoration of the house, and Li Luo could imagine that such a style was indeed very Shang Yu.
Not knowing where Xie Yuning went, Li Luo turned his gaze, and then saw Xie Yuning and Xie Jingyi on the terrace outside the living room.The two seemed to be talking, but Li Luo didn't step forward to interrupt.
Shang Yan wanted to show Li Luo his room, but felt it was inappropriate.It was the first time Li Luo came to his house to play, so he naturally wanted to give Li Luo a good impression; thinking that Li Luo likes to play games, he said, "Do you want to play doubles? I downloaded a new game, but I haven't tried it yet."
Okay, Li Luo happily agreed.
The two returned to the living room on the first floor, and Shang Yan installed the newly bought video game on the TV—"XX Fantasy", a passionate game for two people playing doubles.Now the game is not as good as the single player that Li Luo played in the past, and the graphics and game design are becoming more and more high-tech; Li Luo has never played "XX Fantasy", watching Shangyan demonstrate the operation, blinking, it turns out that he can still play like this.
Li Luo felt that he was an ancient tomb school bumpkin who had never seen the world, and said to Shang Yan embarrassedly: "This is the first time I play this game, and I am not very good at it."
Shang Yan really didn't believe that there was any game that Li Luo couldn't play well, but he also smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll teach you."
On the large balcony of the living room on the second floor, Xie Yuning watched Li Luo go downstairs; just now she kept turning her eyes, was she looking for him?What a child, even with a lot of secrets and questions.Leaning on the balcony, Xie Yuning held the photo his sister handed him; he had already seen the photo, and it really surprised him a little.
I also understood why my sister invited him and Li Luo over for dinner today.
"Sister, what are you doubting?" Xie Yuning asked proactively, her tone was light and plain, without showing excessive surprise.
Xie Jingyi looked at the gradually darkening night, and didn't know how to speak; she didn't want to doubt Li Luo, but how could there be such a coincidence, and why were they so similar?She didn't fully believe Lin Xiyin's words, so she told her brother about it today.As for herself, she has already entered into mysteries one by one and lost her judgment.
Assuming that Li Luo is really the daughter of Shang Yu and the second Miss Lin, and deliberately approached to revenge Shang Yu and Shang Yan, how could she sit idly by?No mother wants her child to suffer any harm.Lin Xiyin said that last time at the coffee shop, Li Luo said categorically that her original lover was Shangyan...
"Sister, do you suspect that Li Luo is the legacy of her brother-in-law?" Xie Yuning directly expressed her sister's guess, and her tone was a little bit bad.
Xie Jingyi was silent.Yes, now in her mind is a dog-blood ethics movie she watched a few years ago. The abandoned daughter came back to take revenge on her father and half-brother.
Otherwise, how could Li Luo go back to China, go to the Qinghuai Institute of Biochemistry to study with Shang Yan, and now he is also cooperating with AC to develop new projects!Maybe Shang Yu already knew the truth, so he felt guilty... Xie Jingyi took a deep breath, feeling like she was going to be driven crazy by her guess.
Things are ridiculous, but all logic is sound, except Li Luo's age.However, is it normal to change a few years younger?In Xiyin's words, this matter must be thoroughly investigated.But, how does she want to check?
From the beginning to the end, Xie Yuning looked at her sister tangled and tangled, expressionless.There is no way to easily conclude things without sufficient evidence. It would be too absurd to guess based on a photo.
It's just that he really has no doubts?Suspected that Li Luo was abnormal.Yes, so he needs more accurate information to verify his guess.
"Yunning, what do you think if Li Luo is really Shang Yu's daughter?" Xie Jingyi asked Xie Yuning.
Xie Yuning took a deep breath, this possibility should be very small.
Xie Jingyi's thoughts began to fly again.If Miss Li is really Shang Yu's daughter, and she is ushered in like Lao Du, what will Shang Yan do, what will Yun Ning do?In name, if Li Luo became Shang Yan's sister, wouldn't Li Luo also become Yunning's nephew?Xie Jingyi stroked her forehead, once again being irritated by her own thoughts.
Because Shang Yu knew Miss Lin before her, Xie Jingyi didn't feel much betrayal anger this time, and even had a little sympathy for Li Luo.If Li Luo is really the daughter abandoned by Shang Yu, she is also a poor child; especially compared to Shang Yan who grew up in a complete family...
Xie Yuning knew what her sister was thinking, and guessed that her sister told him the matter because she was also worried about him and Li Luo.In fact, if Li Luo is really Shang Yu's daughter, what does it have to do with him?Could it be that Li Luo really became his niece?
Of course, there will still be some effects, such as brother-in-law will become... father-in-law.
A black car came in from the gate downstairs, Xie Yuning glanced down when her brother-in-law came back; Xie Jingyi also looked around, it was her husband Shang Yu who came back.Xie Yuning let out a sigh of relief, and said to her sister: "I'll investigate this matter. Before the matter comes out, sister don't have any doubts about Li Luo." After a pause, he added, "Promise me."
Xie Jingyi: "Okay..."
"So, where did you get this photo?" Xie Yuning looked at his sister, with unceremonious sharpness in his eyes.
Xie Jingyi: "... Xiyin gave it to me."
Xie Yuning rolled her eyes, no wonder.
Xie Jingyi was a little ashamed, and suddenly thought of one thing - the photo and diamond brooch she received last time.Facing her most trusted younger brother, Xie Jingyi brought a diamond brooch to Xie Yuning, and briefly described what happened.
Xie Yuning took the brooch, looked at it twice, and hummed.It's really unexpected that things happen one after another.
Xie Yuning put the brooch in his coat pocket, turned around and went downstairs, and Shang Yu just came in from outside; the two eyes met.The lighting in the living room was too bright, and each of them was a little bit scorching.The sofa in a corner of the living room was thumping, and Li Luo and Shang Yan were holding remote controls, playing a large-scale passionate competitive game; both of them were having fun, staring at the TV screen.
At the gate, the aunt stepped forward to pass the shoes, Shang Yu changed the shoes and entered the house; Xie Yuning put his hands in his pockets and walked down the spiral staircase slowly.The two stood together, and Shang Yu smiled and said, "Sorry, I'm late."
Xie Yuning replied politely: "Brother-in-law is busy, it's me and Li Luo who interrupted."
Shang Yu pulled his lips and smiled: "Come home for a meal, don't bother me if you have anything to do." After speaking, he glanced at the two people on the sofa, and then said to each other, "I didn't expect Li Luo and Shang Yan to play together the most. "
... This tone is really like an old father.Xie Yuning couldn't help but think of her sister's guess, if it was true, it would be terrible.Can he just want a daughter and not a father-in-law?
On the other side of the sofa, Shang Yan heard his father's voice coming back, and called back, "Dad, you're back."
It took only two seconds for Shang Yan to say hello, and Li Luo acted immediately in the game; Shang Yan called it insidious.
Seeing the scene of "siblings" getting along happily, Xie Jingyi who went downstairs was full of sadness.Before the dinner was served, Shang Yu and Xie Yuning watched Li Luo and Shang Yan play games together.After all, being a guest at someone else's house, Li Luo put down the remote control of the game and greeted Shang Yu.A very polite Uncle Shang.
Shang Yu had long been used to Li Luo saying "Uncle Shang" to him, and responded with a smile in his eyes, and said to Li Luo: "If you have time, come to the house to play more, and play games with Shang Yan... It's not bad."
These words and this tone... Xie Jingyi's temples standing next to her bulged.For some things, once there is a guess, it is even more to rely on the guess.Xie Jingyi guessed that what Shang Yu said to Li Luo was for the purpose of leading him into the house to cultivate feelings for him in the future?
Xie Yuning still had one hand in his coat pocket, holding a velvet box with a diamond brooch in his hand. I wonder which stranger would be so generous?Provide information and give expensive gifts to the other party.He knew only one person.
Suddenly being knocked on the head, Li Luo turned his head to look at Xie Yuning who beat her, raised his eyelids and asked: "Professor..." Well, why did you beat her!
Xie Yuning was still indifferent: "Wash your hands and eat."
Li Luo: "Oh..." stood up resentfully.
I said in my heart that it was really terrible, not only did I fail to break up successfully, but I was also physically and mentally destroyed by Xie Yunning.Li Luo walked out of the sofa and asked Xie Jingyi: "Sister Xie, I want to borrow the bathroom."
"Yes." Xie Jingyi agreed, trying to smile naturally, "Come with me."
Words and thoughts are the most difficult to hide, even if her younger brother told her not to doubt Li Luo, Xie Jingyi still asked when they were washing their hands in the bathroom together: "Miss Li, I heard Yunning say that your parents..."
"I was adopted." Li Luo replied, smiling at Xie Jingyi.Wiping the hand cream that Xie Jingyi handed over with both hands, she sniffed it, it smelled very light.It is said that AC has a product specially developed for Xie Jingyi, I don’t know if it is this one; the taste is as light as chrysanthemum, which is really suitable for Xie Jingyi’s temperament.After using up the hand cream, Li Luo thanked Xie Jingyi again.
"You're welcome..." Xie Jingyi inhaled lightly, looking at Li Luo's young and pretty face, her heart was sour and astringent and full of twists and turns.She has always longed to have a daughter, but she never expected that God would satisfy her in this way...
Think about it seriously, if Li Luo doesn't hurt Shang Yan, and Shang Yu wants to recognize Li Luo back, she should agree.Of course, if Shang Yu met the dead Second Miss Lin after getting married, Xie Jingyi would not be able to accept the existence of Li Luo.
Women, that's how they care about the order of time.
The merchant's dinner is naturally very rich.
At the American-style long table, Li Luo and Xie Yuning sat on one side, and the hostesses Xie Jingyi and Shang Yu sat opposite.Shang Yan and his aunt served the meal together, sat down at the other end, and said with a smile, "It's been a long time since I ate at home."
"You can still laugh." Xie Jingyi teased her son, "My family is in the local area, and I haven't seen you come back to eat a few times in a semester. You are not like Li Luo who came from abroad..." Xie Jingyi stopped because she felt that With sarcasm.
However, Li Luo, who didn't know it, couldn't hear it at all, and heyed happily.
Shang Yan replied, "Didn't I just go on vacation?"
Xie Jingyi shook her head, smiled at Li Luo, and gave Li Luo a dish, a famous Jiangzhou dish.She said to Li Luo: "I heard from Yunning that you like Jiangzhou cuisine. I specially asked Aunt Li to cook it. Try it and see if it suits your taste?"
Li Luo glanced at Xie Yuning, it turned out that it was not accidental that Jiangzhou cuisine appeared on the merchant's dining table.
Jiangzhou cuisine... Shang Yu glanced at the Jiangzhou cuisine in front of Li Luo, and asked his wife, "Aunt Li still cooks Jiangzhou cuisine?"
Xie Jingyi returned to Shang Yu: "Learn now and do it now."
Shang Yu smiled, tasted the same, and said in praise: "It tastes good, I can make more of it in the future."
Xie Jingyi: "..." Why do more?She began to think about her husband taking Li Luo home.
God.Xie Yuning leaned back on the dining chair, thinking that for tonight's meal, only Shang Yan could eat without thinking.
"Li Luo, eat more." Xie Jingyi said to Li Luo again.The whole attitude has lost the estrangement when entering the door, and returned to the original kindness and liking.
"Yunning, eat more too." Xie Jingyi also said to her younger brother.
"Oh." Xie Yuning responded and raised her eyelids.It's over... Although his sister is soft-hearted and easily entangled in things, she is not a hypocritical person. There is only one possibility for her sudden return of enthusiasm for Li Luo: You don't really want him to turn his girlfriend into a niece, do you?Thinking about it this way, Xie Yuning really didn't want to eat a bite of rice.Big loss!
The merchant's dinner is over, and it is already 8 o'clock at night.The garden outside was shrouded in night and light and shadows were dancing. The restaurant and the garden were separated by a large floor-to-ceiling glass, and the searchlights in the flower bed were lit; two nearby shrubs were trembling, because the wind was blowing outside.
But sitting in a warm restaurant, you can't feel the cold of any winter night.
Without any lingering and family talk, Xie Yuning pulled Li Luo up and said goodbye to his sister and Shang Yu: "It's getting late, Li Luo and I will go back first."
Xie Jingyi agreed: "Okay."
Shang Yan looked at the wall clock in the restaurant, is it late?
Some people didn't want to stay for a long time, and Shang Yu didn't force them to stay. He stood up and said, "Be careful on the road, remember to come and eat more."
Xie Yuning accepted this courtesy and exhortation, and said to Shang Yu: "Brother-in-law stay here."
"Okay." Shang Yu nodded.
Li Luo also said goodbye to Xie Jingyi and Shang Yan, put on his coat, and followed Xie Yuning out of the store; due to the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor, he was shivering head-on.
Today, in order to finally look good at Xie Yuning's place, she obviously wore less clothes.
There was an extra coat on her body, and Xie Yuning put the coat he brought out on her body.Li Luo folded her arms, and it became much warmer; wearing Xie Yuning's coat, she lowered her head silently all the way.
Xie Yuning didn't say anything until she came to the car, opened the passenger door, and said to her, "Get in the car."
Li Luo got into the car with a dull head, put his right hand in Xie Yuning's coat pocket, and suddenly touched a square box, what is it?Seeming to know what she touched, Xie Yuning reached out to her: "Give me what's in your pocket, it's very important, don't lose it."
Very important?Li Luo took out a pink box, but the long-lost girlish heart overcame IQ: Is there a diamond ring inside?Is Xie Yuning going to propose to her? OMG, how can she reject Xie Yunning, a domineering crab...
No matter what, she handed the box to Xie Yuning first, Xie Yuning glanced at her, and reached out to take the box back.Li Luo glanced at the box again, how familiar is this box?Instantly his hands stiffened.
This pink box is her own... But why is this box here with Xie Yuning?
OMG... this time, it's real OMG...
