Chapter 320 From Intercontinental Hotel to Four Seasons Hotel
Chapter 320 From Intercontinental Hotel to Four Seasons Hotel
After arriving at the Intercontinental Hotel and parking the car, Yuan Xudong took Jiang Xiaoguo and her mother into the restaurant, chose a seat in the back row by the window and sat down to order. They each ordered a few of their favorite dishes and desserts, and were waiting.
During the meal, Yuan Xudong handed the gift that had been prepared to Jiang Xiaoguo’s mother and said with a smile:
"Mom, this is the first time I see you today. I don't know what you like, so I just bought some gadgets. I hope you like it!"
"Look at you kid, you are so polite. We meet whenever we meet. Why are you preparing all this?"
It's not strange to give gifts to many people. Although Jiang Xiaoguo and her mother don't care much whether Yuan Xudong has prepared a gift, or whether the gift he prepared is a valuable item, since he has prepared a gift, naturally the more attentive he is, the more likely he is to give a gift.
They put a lot of thought into it, and because of this, when Jiang’s mother took the gift with a smile, opened the rather delicate packaging box in front of Yuan Xudong and Jiang Xiaoguo, and saw two jade bracelets as green as jade inside, her
Although his expression was 30% reproachful, 70% like it:
"Look at you kid, I can't accept such an expensive gift!"
Seeing her mother's refusal, Jiang Xiaoguo, who was sitting next to her, rolled her eyes and said with a smile:
"Yes, my mother can't accept such an expensive gift!"
After saying that, she took the jewelry box containing the jade bracelet on the table to herself and said with a protective smile:
"Mom, let me collect it for you. Such a beautiful bracelet looks better if I wear it!"
Seeing her daughter protecting the jewelry box containing the jade bracelet with both hands like an old hen protecting her chicks, Mother Jiang glared at her with some dissatisfaction and said reproachfully:
"You heartless girl, Mom is getting older, so it won't look good wearing it, right?"
"Where is it?"
After returning the jade bracelet to his mother, Jiang Xiaoguo moved to her side along with the chair, hugged her arm and rocked it coquettishly:
"Mom, I was joking with you, can you just forgive me?"
"Get off!"
Pushing away her sobbing daughter, Mother Jiang couldn't help but give her a fond look and said:
"Speak carefully, I'm going to get goosebumps!"
"No!"
With that said, Jiang Xiaoguo leaned against her mother again, holding her arms and shaking her, and said coquettishly like a little girl who hadn't grown up yet:
"Mom, I miss you so much!"
"You kid!"
There was nothing she could do with the ginger fruit. Mother Jiang held her in her arms and stroked her hair, with eyes full of adoration. She looked at Yuan Xudong and said seriously:
"Xiao Yuan, I accept your kindness. You can take the gift back. It's not appropriate for me to wear such an expensive thing!"
"Mom, do you think there's anything inappropriate about what you said?"
Seeing that Mother Jiang was serious, Yuan Xudong also smiled and said seriously:
"You are just such a precious daughter, Xiaoguo. Since Xiaoguo and I are together, then we are a family. Why are we so clearly separated?"
After that, without waiting for Mother Jiang to agree or refute, Yuan Xudong changed his voice and said:
"Of course, I also have selfish motives. Doesn't Xiaoguo still agree to marry me? Then I must please you first. Otherwise, if Xiaoguo runs away one day, I will cry to death.
Do you think this is true?"
"Yuan Xudong, what are you talking about?"
Seeing Yuan Xudong talking nonsense to his mother again and not doing anything right, Jiang Xiaoguo immediately glared at him and said angrily:
"Who ran away?"
"You ran away!"
Boldly blinking at Jiang Xiaoguo, Yuan Xudong looked at Jiang's mother and said aggrievedly:
"Mom, look at Xiaoguo, she's scaring me again!"
Seeing that Yuan Xudong dared to frame her and scare him in front of her mother, with her mother by her side to support her, Jiang Xiaoguo suddenly became bolder. She narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Yuan Xudong and threatened:
"Yuan Xudong, are you seeking death?"
"Okay, you two, stop making trouble!"
Seeing Yuan Xudong flirting with her daughter and the two of them having a good relationship, Jiang's mother felt relieved and did not continue to refuse Yuan Xudong's gifts. She stood up from the chair and said:
"You two chat first while I go to the bathroom!"
Seeing that his mother was going to the bathroom, Jiang Xiaoguo also stood up from the chair and said:
"Mom, let me go with you!"
"No, you chat with Xiao Yuan!"
"Okay, the bathroom is over there, just go over and ask the waiter!"
"Okay, you guys chat first, I'll be back in a minute!"
"Hmm~~"
After watching Jiang's mother leave the restaurant and waiting for her to disappear into the corner, Yuan Xudong suddenly stood up from his seat, then walked to Jiang Xiaoguo and sat down next to him, "hehe" and said with a smile:
"Jiang Xiaoguo, you have become a lot more courageous!"
"Yuan Xudong, what do you want to do?"
Seeing Yuan Xudong keep approaching him, Jiang Xiaoguo protected his chest with both hands, kept leaning back, and said with "fear" on his face:
"If you dare to bully me, I will tell my mother!"
"Then tell me!"
Seeing Jiang Xiaoguo cooperate with him so much, Yuan Xudong's interest greatly increased. He sat next to Jiang Xiaoguo, held her in his arms and said with a smile:
"Don't go back tonight, just stay in the hotel!"
"don't want!"
Seeing Yuan Xudong speak so openly, Jiang Xiaoguo's face became hot, she blushed a little and whispered shyly:
"I promised Shi Shi that I would go back and bring her baked sweet potatoes!"
"Roasted sweet potato?"
Looking at the blushing and shy Jiang Xiaoguo, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"Xiaoguo, you are my roasted sweet potato tonight. You are not allowed to go anywhere. After dinner, please book a room for mom first, and then the two of us can book another room, okay?"
"don't want!"
Looking at Yuan Xudong who was trying to trick him again, Jiang Xiaoguo shook his head slightly and said with a blushing face:
"I'm going back to school to stay. I have to go to bed early tonight. I have to get up early tomorrow to meet important clients with Sister Xiaorong!"
"A very important customer?"
"Hmm~~"
"Have you made an appointment where to meet?"
“Well, at the Four Seasons Hotel!”
Seeing that Yuan Xudong suddenly became concerned about his work situation at Pulling Capital, Jiang Xiaoguo couldn't help but look up at him and said:
"What do you want to do?"
"What do you think?"
After kissing Jiang Xiaoguo's cheek, Yuan Xudong looked at her clear and bright eyes with a hint of shyness and smiled:
"We're going to stay at the Four Seasons Hotel tonight. You don't have to get up so early tomorrow morning. You can go meet clients with your sister Rong as soon as you get downstairs, okay?"
"don't want!"
Looking at Jiang Xiaoguo, who looked shy and said no, but slightly raised the corners of his mouth, with a charming face, Yuan Xudong naturally knew the elegant meaning after hearing the string song, so he made the final decision for Jiang Xiaoguo who wanted to be reserved:
"Okay, it's settled, you have to agree even if you don't agree!"
"Hate!"
Jiang Xiaoguo rolled her eyes at Yuan Xudong and said shyly. Seeing her like this, Yuan Xudong secretly mourned for Luo Yan. Poor Shitou, it seems that she won't have to eat the roasted sweet potatoes tonight. After all, the person who wants to buy her roasted sweet potatoes is
It's going to be someone's roasted sweet potato. Whether it's eaten raw or peeled depends on someone's wish.
After the two of them chatted for a while, the waiter brought them meals and drinks. Since they had to drive back, Yuan Xudong didn't order wine, but just ordered a few glasses of fruit juice. After Jiang Xiaoguo's mother came back from the bathroom, the three of them started to raise their glasses.
While drinking and eating, during the meal, Jiang's mother and Yuan Xudong chatted about some family matters. Yuan Xudong also briefly talked about some situations at home. It turns out that Yuan Xudong and Jiang Xiaoguo are both children of single-parent families, and they have been together since childhood.
I lost my father and was raised by my mother single-handedly. I went through elementary school, junior high school, high school, university, and now I am starting to enter the society. The difficulties during this period are really difficult to describe.
The difference is that Yuan Xudong's father died in an accident, but Jiang Xiaoguo's father had another woman outside, and then went to start a new family with another woman, leaving her and her mother behind.
Yuan Xudong looked down upon such a man who failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a husband or father. He was considered a scumbag and had lost his wife and children without any financial help.
There was no money for alimony, so the mother and daughter had a hard time getting by. Of course, they were not estranged from each other. After all, he was Jiang Xiaoguo's biological father. Yuan Xudong wouldn't say much. He was just responsible for listening.
And judging from what Jiang Xiaoguo means, she hasn't forgotten her father. Although she hates him on the surface, it's hard to explain in her heart. It's similar to Yuan Xudong. She grew up in a single-parent family and he never mentioned it.
My own father didn't look at his old photos or touch the things he left behind. When his father died, he was still in elementary school. After so many years, people around him thought that a child had long forgotten him.
Who is his father and what he looks like, but only Yuan Xudong himself knows that if some things are not said, it does not mean they have been forgotten. He still remembers the last time he saw his father, the unpleasant conversation between them, his father's appearance, and
There is my father’s long-used mobile phone number, etc.
Of course, these have become part of his memory. Occasionally, he will be a little nostalgic and sad, but it cannot be said to be sad. After all, so many years have passed, and the past has long been engraved in his memories, no matter how strong the emotions were at the time.
, as time goes by, years, more than ten years, decades, until a lifetime is about to end, that’s it, everything will eventually be annihilated in the long river of time, making circles of ripples.
, until it finally calmed down completely, leaving a piece of loess for future generations to look at and say a few words on during festivals.
After eating, Yuan Xudong proposed to book a room for Jiang Xiaoguo's mother at the Intercontinental Hotel for a few days. However, Jiang's mother really disagreed, so Yuan Xudong drove her back to the guest house near the school. When she returned to the guest house, Yuan Xudong and
Jiang Xiaoguo chatted with her for a while, then drove to the Four Seasons Hotel and asked for a luxurious suite. Under Yuan Xudong's instructions, Jiang Xiaoguo took a shower and changed into a pure white bathrobe with a tie in the middle.
A belt that can make the whole piece of clothing fall to the ground with just a tug.
Looking at Jiang Xiaoguo who was not very interested, Yuan Xudong took her wrist and walked to the bedside to sit down, caressed her face with his right hand, looked into her eyes and smiled softly:
"What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?"
"No!"
Shaking his head slightly and glancing at Yuan Xudong, Jiang Xiaoguo stretched out his hand to hold down his right hand that was touching her face and said with a forced smile:
"When I think about what happened when I was a child, I feel a little weird. Time flies so fast. At that time, I was looking forward to growing up quickly. Looking back now, it feels like it was yesterday. In the blink of an eye, everything really happened.
's grown up!"
"Isn't it bad to grow up?"
Looking at Jiang Xiaoguo who suddenly felt a little emotional, Yuan Xudong touched her face and hair, with a smirk on his lips and said:
"When you grow up, you can make money and live, you can eat the food you like, you can play the games you like, and most importantly, you can do the things you like with the people you like, don't you like it?"
"rogue!"
Giving Yuan Xudong a blank look, Jiang Xiaoguo pouted and whispered:
"I don't like it, I'm not in the mood right now!"
"What don't you like?"
Looking at the blushing Jiang Xiaoguo, Yuan Xudong said with a smile:
"Jiang Xiaoguo, I found that you have a problem with your thinking. I said you can still do what you like with the people you like. Where did you think about it? Are you thinking about lewd things?"
"you"
Seeing Yuan Xudong deliberately making fun of herself, Jiang Xiaoguo couldn't help but glare at him and said with a red face:
"Then what did you say you like to do?"
"Dance!"
"What?"
"Dance!"
"Dance?"
"Yes, just dancing!"
Looking at Jiang Xiaoguo, whose eyes were slightly wide open and full of surprise, Yuan Xudong deliberately said seriously:
"Didn't you say you wanted to dance for me tonight? Dance, I'll watch!"
"ah?"
Hearing Yuan Xudong say that he wanted to dance for him, Jiang Xiaoguo, who was just joking and didn't know how to dance at all, became angry and said:
"You big-headed idiot, I'll dance. I'm too lazy to pay attention to you. I'm going to bed. Good night!"
"do not!"
Looking at Jiang Xiaoguo who wanted to crawl under the quilt, Yuan Xudong grabbed her and said with suspicion:
"Xiaoguo, you're not bragging, are you? In fact, you don't know how to dance at all, right?"
"Yes, yes, you big-headed devil!"
Seeing Yuan Xudong expose him, Jiang Xiaoguo immediately raised his neck and said harshly:
"What if I can't dance? Isn't it okay?"
"Okay, of course, but what if you lied to me?"
Looking at Yuan Xudong, whose eyes were becoming increasingly dangerous, Jiang Xiaoguo turned away slightly and protested in a low voice with some lack of confidence:
"Then what do you want me to do?"
"What do you think?"
Looking at Jiang Xiaoguo who suddenly became very well-behaved, Yuan Xudong kissed her lips, hugged her soft body and fell on the bed. He casually pulled off the belt that tied her bathrobe, revealing a petite and exquisite rouge water jade body.
catch the eye
The next day, the sun shone in through the cracks in the curtains and sprinkled on the bed. In the bedroom full of spring light, a pleasant ringtone rang on the mobile phone. Her eyelashes trembled slightly. Jiang Xiaoguo woke up from a deep sleep. She stood up from the quilt.
Li stretched out her right hand to touch her mobile phone and took a look. At eight o'clock in the morning, she turned off the temporary alarm on her mobile phone that she had set last night. She sat up from the bed, got dressed, got out of bed, and wandered around the hotel suite.
Circle, she saw Yuan Xudong brushing his teeth in front of the sink. She walked over, hugged his chest from behind, put her head on his back, and said happily and sweetly:
"Good morning, Xiaodongzi!"
"What's wrong?"
After washing and throwing away the disposable toiletries, Yuan Xudong grabbed Jiang Xiaoguo's hands, looked at the mirror on the wall in front of the sink and smiled softly:
"Why did you suddenly become so clingy?"
"Where is it?"
Holding Yuan Xudong's chest from behind and smelling the familiar smell coming from him, Jiang Xiaoguo closed her eyes slightly and said seriously:
"Xudong, let's get married!"
"What?"
"Ouch!"
"Xudong, are you okay?"
"fine!"
Looking at Jiang Xiaoguo who suddenly changed his mind and wanted to get married, Yuan Xudong was startled. He was so excited that his feet stumbled, and he almost fell onto the sink. He supported Jiang Xiaoguo to stand, and Yuan Xudong looked into her eyes and pretended to be confused.
:
"Xiaoguo, what were you talking about just now?"
"fine!"
Staring at Yuan Xudong fiercely, Jiang Xiaoguo concealed her face and said with a reddish face:
"Today is Friday and Sunday. I want you to take me and my mother to play around. Do you have time?"
"Yes, of course!"
Seeing that Jiang Xiaoguo did not talk about getting married again, Yuan Xudong breathed a sigh of relief and smiled:
"How about going to Wutong Mountain and Shenzhen Bay Park?"
"Okay, just take her around!"
After looking at Yuan Xudong, Jiang Xiaoguo hesitated a little and said:
"Xudong, I want to bring my mother to live in Shenzhen in the future, do you mind?"
"Why should I mind?"
After looking at Jiang Xiaoguo, Yuan Xudong said matter-of-factly:
"Your mother only has a precious daughter like you. If you don't take care of her, who will take care of her?"
"That's great, thank you Xudong!"
Seeing that her boyfriend understood her so well, Jiang Xiaoguo, who was a little worried that he would not be willing, was overjoyed and hugged Yuan Xudong for a while. In order to reciprocate, she looked at Yuan Xudong and suggested:
"Xiao Dongzi, from now on you can bring your mother to Shenzhen to live with us, okay?"
"No need, she can't get used to living in a big city, and she doesn't know anyone around her. The small county town at home is quite nice, and is more suitable for retirement. If I have time, I can go back and see her more often!"
"ah?"
Hearing what Yuan Xudong said, Jiang Xiaoguo was slightly worried and said:
"Then will she be lonely at home alone?"
"Won't!"
Looking at Jiang Xiaoguo who seemed to have some misunderstanding, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"My mother has six biological brothers and sisters, and even more cousins. My grandparents are both physically strong. I also have a younger brother. They all live in the county. They visit each other just by walking around.
Regarding the matter of a few steps, if you are worried about her being lonely at home, why not worry about whether I will be lonely alone in Shenzhen?"
"ah?"
She didn't expect that Yuan Xudong's family would have so many relatives. Jiang Xiaoguo had always thought that he was as lonely as her own family. Thinking of this, she looked at Yuan Xudong and pouted:
"Then why didn't you say you have so many relatives in your family before? I thought you were just like me!"
"Then you didn't even ask!"
Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"The main reason is that I have many relatives and friends on my mother's side, and I also have relatives on my father's side. But later, my father died unexpectedly and received a compensation. Some of them had big faces. My mother took me and
My two younger brothers wanted to help keep the money. Later, the two families had a falling out, so we naturally stopped interacting with each other. At that time, my younger brother and I were still young and needed to study, and my mother didn’t have much to make money on her own.
She can't even write her own name, and she has to take care of my brother and me. Naturally, she can only rely on the compensation to help my brother and I go through elementary school, junior high school, high school, and now college. Of course, that sum
Money is definitely not enough.
My uncle knew a lot of people, so he lent the money to others, and then collected interest, and finally he was able to hold on until now. So, although my father passed away relatively early, I was very afraid of him when I was a child and didn't like him.
I stayed with him, but he always had a sense of responsibility. Even after he passed away, he took care of the family for more than ten years until my brother and I grew up. My mother was also great, and my relatives on my mother's side also
Very good. As for my father's side, except for grandma, who has no say, no one else will tell me. When grandma was alive, we met during the Chinese New Year. Since grandma passed away, the two parties have directly cut off contact. From now on, they will be treated as
He must be a stranger!"
After saying that, Yuan Xudong looked at Jiang Xiaoguo who was in a daze and said with a smile:
"How about it? Isn't this experience happier than yours? One last thing, please don't lend money to others. People are getting worse and worse nowadays. In the beginning, my uncle helped my family lend money to others.
Others paid it back on time. Later, the social atmosphere gradually changed. Why should I pay back the money I borrowed based on my ability? I lived in a house in the city and drove a car. If I had to pay back the money, I wouldn't have it. In the end, if it weren't for my uncle, they would keep asking for it.
Money, you may not get even a dime back. No matter how nice you say it when you borrow money, you will be in trouble when you want to pay it back. It is better not to borrow it in the first place. Of course, you have to look at it in detail.
People, if your close relatives and friends are really in trouble, you should still help if you have the ability to do so. When I say close relatives and friends, I mean feelings, not blood relations!"
