The maid nodded.
"Let him stay in the reception room first." Mrs. Shen's expression returned to her calmness, and she added as if thinking of something, "Don't let the guests see it."
"Yes, ma'am."
The maid left.
Ji Shu suddenly became nervous. He held a glass of water, and his hand was shaking unconsciously. Is he going to see Shen Chi?
*
The Shen family's villa covers a thousand hectares, and the living room is twice the size of the Ji family's entire house. The servant took Shen Chi and Ji's dad to the sofa in the living room to sit down.
"Madam will see you later."
The maid said politely.
Dad Ji didn't sit down, but raised bags of various sizes: "This is the specialty meat of the border town. I brought it here on purpose. Can I trouble you to bring it to my wife?"
The servant looked at the dirty bag, which stained the tidy floor with a layer of gray, and kindly reminded: "Madam has a cleanliness addiction."
Dad Ji looked at the ground and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, the bag was left all the way on the train, and it wasn't dirty inside."
He took out a tissue and wiped it.
"Just put it in the corner."
The servant came out of the parlour.
After the young man came in, he sat on the sofa without saying a word, wearing headphones on his head, kept his head down, never raised it.
The banquet was held very late, and they waited from three o'clock in the afternoon to twelve o'clock in the evening.
After an unknown time, no one came.
"Let's go."
The teenager stood up and said blankly, "She won't lend it to us."
"How can you say that to Mrs. Shen?" Dad Ji couldn't help but say, "she is your adoptive mother anyway, and you need to be grateful."
The boy pulled up a mocking smile.
*
"Have they left yet?"
At the end of the banquet, Mrs. Shen returned to the room to remove her makeup. No matter how well maintained, the crow's feet at the corner of her eyes would inevitably show a hint of fatigue.
"Not yet." The servant said respectfully.
Mrs. Shen shook her head: "Then let them wait."
She remembered that Shen Chi was a very cute child when she was a child. People around her said that they had never seen a child more beautiful than him. little puppy.
They settled in the northwest at that time. In order to give Shen Chi a better education, she sent Shen Chi, who had just turned seven, to the best school in Yancheng for boarding.
It was the first time that Shen Chi had left her side. The child with a small schoolbag raised her head and hugged her leg at the airport. She almost softened, but she sent it away, and she could not see each other once a month.
But Shen Chi didn't grow into what she hoped. She skipped classes in high school, fought, played games, and dyed her hair red.
Every time she was called to Yancheng by the teacher, the amber eyes of the young man always looked at her, without any guilt, she was extremely disappointed.
She was born into a privileged family, married a wonderful husband and lived an enviable life, and she did not think she would have such a child.
One day she had a DNA test and they had moved to Yancheng, and she found out that Shen Chi was not her child.
She breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. Without thinking, she asked Shen Chi to return to the border town, where he should be. She couldn't bear to let others see her failure.
She threw Shen Chi to the airport, but the red-haired boy always followed her stubbornly with red eyes. She threw Shen Chi several times and didn't throw it out. The last time she left Shen Chi at the train station and sat on the driver's car.
She thought the boy would catch up, but the boy in front of the train station didn't catch up for the first time. She sat in the car and received his call, and the boy's voice became cold and jerky: "I'll give you the money back. of."
She thought she was joking, but said indifferently, "Repay the money? Do you know how much you spent on the Shen family since you were a child? Even if you pay 1 million, it will take you 30 years to pay back 3,000 a month."
The phone was silent for a while, and she heard the boy say "OK".
She really received 3,000 yuan this month. I don't know how she earned it. She heard from Ji's family that he had stopped studying.
She shook her head. A place like the border town was like a stagnant pond, pulling people into the quagmire step by step, especially a beautiful child like Shen Chi.
They wouldn't have any episodes anyway, she took back her thoughts.
Ji Shu carefully went down the stairs, walked to the living room, and opened the door.
In his impression, Dad Ji is tall and smiling. He can take care of the breakfast stall in an orderly manner, and Dad Ji will work hard to satisfy whatever he wants.
However, in the bright light of the living room, he realized that Dad Ji was just a thin and small man, wearing work clothes that were eliminated from the factory, and sitting on the sofa could not hide his crampedness from the inside out.
He looked at Shen Chi, who was on the side. The young man lowered his head and couldn't see his face clearly. The headphones on his head were already old, and the clothes on his body also showed signs of repeated washing.
He remembered his mother's words, they really are not from the same world.
He didn't dare to resist his mother's words, and when he was about to turn around and leave, the person inside seemed to not want to wait to come out, and just bumped into it.
Dad Ji raised his head, and his voice revealed surprise: "Xiao Shu, you are here."
"got taller."
Dad Ji compared his height.
