At 7:35 p.m., a dark black BMW 7 Series parked in front of Jiang's house. It was Yuan Xudong and Zhu Suosuo who had arrived late. They got out of the BMW and walked towards Jiang's house carrying large and small packages of gifts.
Bungalow.
The door was completely open. Before entering the house, Yuan Xudong and Zhu Suosuo felt a tense atmosphere in the air, just like the calm before the storm, which was depressing.
Seeing Yuan Xudong entering the house with Zhu Suosuo, Jiang Pengfei quickly stood up from the sofa, opened his arms to greet him, and joked with a smile on his face:
"Mr. Yuan, welcome!"
Yuan Xudong placed the gift on the coffee table in the living room, then hugged Jiang Pengfei who was walking towards him, and said modestly:
"Uncle, I am not Mr. Yuan. You should call me Xiao Yuan. It sounds more cordial."
Seeing that young heroes like Yuan Xudong were respectful and polite to him, Jiang Pengfei became more and more dissatisfied with Zhang Anren, who looked shabby. It was a pity that his daughter was not sensible. Yuan Xudong had already come together with Zhu Suosuo. He secretly felt pity in his heart, but his face was filled with regret.
He said with a smile:
"Xiao Yuan, Suo Suo, I heard from Nan Sun that you two are together?"
Seeing everyone in the Jiang family looking at him, knowing that they were waiting for his explanation, Yuan Xudong quickly said:
"After I left last time, I talked with Nansun. She told me that the person she likes is Zhang Anren. My pursuit will only cause her trouble and pain. If I really like her, please don't
After getting involved in her life, I thought about it seriously. If you really love someone, as long as the other person is happy, it doesn't necessarily mean having the other person!"
Having said this, he looked at Zhu Suosuo beside him and said affectionately:
"After I decided to give up pursuing Nansun, I felt that my heart was full of confusion and pain, so I went out to drink, and by chance, I rescued Suosuo from a liar.
She is a simple and kind-hearted girl. Seeing that I was in such pain and grateful for my life-saving grace, she drank with me and got hungover. Unexpectedly, I did something I shouldn't have done.
From the moment I woke up, I secretly decided to let go of Nansun and wish her her own happiness. I can only be responsible for Suosuo for the rest of my life!"
Seeing the growing danger in the blushing Zhu Suosuo's eyes, and her loving little hands twisting the soft flesh around her waist, Yuan Xudong quickly changed the subject:
"Everything in the world is unpredictable. I didn't expect Nansun and Suosuo to be as close as sisters. Don't worry, since Nansun is Suosuo's good sister, she is also my sister-in-law of Yuan Xudong. She is such a kind-hearted sister-in-law. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, just
Tell me and I won’t just sit back and ignore it!”
Hearing Yuan Xudong's nonsense explanation, Jiang Nansun opened his eyes and was about to expose his lies. Yuan Xudong, who had been paying attention to her for a long time, quickly showed the gifts he and Zhu Suosuo bought to distract her before she could speak.
"This is a little thought from Suosuo and I. Thank you for taking care of her since childhood. I hope everyone likes it!"
After that, Yuan Xudong and Zhu Suosuo distributed the gifts they bought to everyone in the Jiang family. Yuan Xudong's gifts were exactly the same as Zhang Anren's. They were relatively ordinary accessories and nutritional supplements, while Zhu Suosuo's gifts were valuable luxuries.
Everyone in the Jiang family just thought that Yuan Xudong deliberately borrowed Zhu Suosuo's hand to give him expensive gifts, and that he and Zhang Anren bought the same cheap items to take care of each other's face.
Thinking of this, Jiang Pengfei picked up a scarf given by Yuan Xudong and wrapped it around his neck. His face was full of joy, and he said with some meaning:
"Giving gifts is all about your heart. As the saying goes, the more valuable the gift, the better. It is not a gift given to outsiders by entrusting others to do things. You should do it according to your own financial situation!"
Having said this, he looked at Yuan Xudong who was smiling and asked deliberately:
"Xiao Yuan, how much did you spend on these things?"
He knew the elegant meaning after hearing the song. Yuan Xudong knew what Jiang Pengfei wanted to do as soon as he heard Jiang Pengfei's tone. He would not refute Jiang Pengfei in order to protect Zhang Anren's face. The thoughts in his mind passed in a flash. Yuan Xudong pretended to be confused and said:
"I didn't know what kind of gifts I should buy, so I bought these things with Nansun. I thought that you are all a family, and Nansun must know your preferences. I don't have much money. After 20% off, it's less than two yuan.
Ten thousand dollars!”
Jiang Pengfei nodded slightly and smiled:
"My daughter is still filial. She knows that I am weak and afraid of the cold, so this scarf is just right. Xiao Yuan, you are thoughtful!"
After saying that, he glanced at Zhang Anren, who looked calm, and said in a straight tone:
"I asked you to buy stocks and just say you have no money. It's quite generous to buy these gifts. I know that you are an assistant teacher at the Shanghai School of Architecture. Your monthly salary is less than 20,000 yuan, right? Now you have bought these gifts which are beyond your normal limit.
It’s a consumption-level thing, it’s so vain, how can you make me agree to marry Nansun to you?”
If you like someone, everything you do is right; if you hate someone, everything you do is wrong. Jiang Pengfei's attitude towards Zhang Anren perfectly illustrates the true meaning of this sentence.
Seeing Zhang Anren looking embarrassed and sitting there not knowing what to say, Jiang Nansun blamed herself in her heart. She might as well let Zhang Anren buy some cheap nutritional supplements as usual. This was simply humiliating herself, and she couldn't tell Jiang Pengfei.
Saying that he added money for Zhang Anren to buy the gift would only make Jiang Pengfei even more dissatisfied with Zhang Anren.
Seeing that Jiang Nansun had no time to cause trouble for him, Yuan Xudong was secretly proud and reciprocated with courtesy. For Jiang Nansun's consideration, he looked at Jiang Pengfei who looked unhappy and advised:
"Uncle, Zhang Anren bought these gifts just to please you. It's so rare!"
Jiang Pengfei snorted coldly and said with disdain:
"My family does not lack these things. What he wants to do is not to please me, but how to make Nansun live a good life. I asked him to sell his house to buy the stock market at a low price just so that the two of them can buy a house in the city center.
Big house, so that Nan Sun can be able to "
Seeing that Jiang Pengfei wanted to ask Zhang Anren to sell his house in front of Yuan Xudong again, and fearing that he would be embarrassed in front of outsiders, Jiang's mother quickly laughed and said:
"Xiao Yuan, Pengfei, the food is ready, you can come over for dinner!"
After that, she looked at Zhang Anren and Jiang Nansun sitting on the sofa and said hello:
"Xiao Zhang, Nan Sun, you two come over quickly and sit on grandma's left side!"
As soon as she finished speaking, as if she had remembered something, she looked at Zhang Anren who was getting up from the sofa and walking over and asked:
"Xiaozhang, are you drinking?"
"Auntie, I never drink!"
Everyone sat at the table, Grandma Jiang sat at the top, Jiang Pengfei and Mother Jiang sat on her right, Jiang Nansun and Zhang Anren sat on her left, Yuan Xudong and Zhu Suosuo sat directly opposite Grandma Jiang. Eleven dishes were placed on the table.
It's hot, meaty and vegetarian, and Auntie Sun, the nanny hired by the family, continues to serve the dishes.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhang Anren took the initiative to pick up the chopsticks and pick up food for Jiang Nansun, just like how he usually took care of Jiang Nansun in the school cafeteria and said with a smile:
"Nan Sun, this is your favorite tomato scrambled egg, I'll give you some!"
Seeing everyone looking at him, Jiang Nansun quickly asked Zhang Anren to put down his chopsticks and whispered in his ear:
"When Aunt Sun has finished serving the food and grandma tells us to start eating, we won't use chopsticks again!"
"Okay, I get it now!"
Seeing Zhang Anren put down his chopsticks with a stern look on his face, Grandma Jiang smiled and said:
"Xiao Zhang, Aunt Sun cooks Huaiyang cuisine. I don't know if it suits your taste?"
Zhang Anren glanced at the table full of delicious Huaiyang dishes and felt that the Jiang family still valued him. Thinking of this, he smiled and said as humbly and politely as ever:
"Grandma, I eat very casually. You don't have to cook such a large table of dishes just for me!"
Grandma Jiang laughed twice and explained:
"Only a lion head was added, nothing else was added!"
"This is how our family usually eats. Grandma likes the Huaiyang cuisine cooked by Aunt Sun the most!"
"oh!"
Zhang Anren nodded clearly and his expression calmed down.
"The dishes are here, this is the last dish!"
Aunt Sun picked up the last stir-fried dish from the tray and placed it on the table, then placed a pot of hot wine in front of Jiang Nansun and said:
"Miss, this is your wine!"
After that, she took the remaining empty tray and was about to leave the table and go to the kitchen to eat alone. Suddenly, Grandma Jiang's displeased voice sounded behind her:
"Xiao Sun, are there no round plates? What does it look like to use a long fish plate for cooking?"
"I'm dizzy. Look, grandma has told me many times. I forgot about it this time. I'll change it!"
While Aunt Sun explained a few words awkwardly, she removed the long plate of stir-fry dishes from the dining table and walked back to the kitchen to replace it with a round plate for stir-fry dishes.
Seeing Zhang Anren looking at her, Jiang Nansun thought that the other party was going to ask about her grandma's request to change the plate, so she complained in a low voice:
"Grandma is poor and particular!"
"That was not what I meant!"
Zhang Anren shook his head slightly, then looked at the hot wine in front of Jiang Nansun and said:
"Nan Sun, don't you not drink?"
It turned out that this was what he wanted to ask. Worried that Zhang Anren would misunderstand that he liked drinking, Jiang Nansun quickly explained:
"Eat drunken crabs and drink some hot rice wine to relieve the cold. Grandma drinks it every day!"
"Then let me drink some too!"
Seeing that everyone had a cup of hot rice wine in front of them, but there was nothing in front of him, Zhang Anren said something to Jiang Nansun, then stood up and looked towards the kitchen and shouted:
"Auntie, could you please give me another glass of hot rice wine?"
"okay!"
"Thank you, aunt!"
Seeing Zhang Anren sit down, Grandma Jiang looked at the well-behaved Yuan Xudong and Zhu Suosuo and said with a smile:
"Susuo, you have been Nansun's friend since childhood, and you are also half a granddaughter who grew up under my nose. Grandma is so happy for you that you can find an outstanding boy like Xiao Yuan!"
This can be regarded as a good match sent by God. God will use it to make up for the grievances and misfortunes you have suffered since childhood. For girls, finding a man you can rely on for a lifetime is the real top priority!"
Hearing Grandma Jiang blessing herself like this, Zhu Suosuo quickly said coquettishly:
"Thank you grandma, you are so kind to me!"
Grandma Jiang nodded slightly, then looked at Yuan Xudong aside and said:
"Xiao Yuan, grandma is also here to bless you. Suosuo is a good girl with a kind heart. You must cherish her and protect her for the rest of her life, just like Pengfei's father. He has made me have food and clothing for my whole life!
Grandma is a woman from the old times. She has kept the rules her whole life. Now that she is so old, she lives in the memory of the past every day. These rules are my insistence and cannot be changed even if I want to. I hope you young people can
Understand old people like me!”
Hearing this, Yuan Xudong naturally smiled and said:
"Grandma, don't worry, I will definitely cherish the lock. She can't run away even if she wants to. As for the rules grandma said, as the saying goes, there is nothing without rules. I like people who abide by the rules, just like grandma.
people!"
Hearing what Yuan Xudong said, Grandma Jiang nodded with a smile, then looked at Zhang Anren on her left and said:
