Old Mrs. Shen was chatting with several daughters-in-law of the Shen family, and there was also a circle of people outside who wanted to have relations with the Shen family.
As soon as Mrs. Shen saw Lin Xiangwan across the crowd, she immediately waved to her, "Xiaowan, come here and sit next to me. Only if you sit here can Shen Shijun honestly talk to me for a while. If I can't see you, this chair
It was like nails growing out of him, and he couldn't stay even for a moment."
As soon as Old Mrs. Shen finished speaking, several wives around her started laughing, but they laughed, but no one dared to tease Shen Shijun like this.
After so many years, the Shen family knew more or less about Shen Shijun's crush on Lin Xiangwan, and also knew that Luo Hua was ruthless. However, except for Mrs. Shen, even Shen Shijun's parents rarely mentioned this matter. The Shen family
The eldest son and grandson, although he looks like a very gentle person on the surface, always with a kind smile on his face, in fact, he has a very bad temper and a good memory. If he was resented by him, maybe he would not have it at that time.
Something happens, but there will definitely be no good fruit in the future.
Shen Shijun had a cousin who did not believe in this evil. She felt that it was a bit unfair that her cousin's big tree was planted in Lin Xiangwan's flower pot. She thought that Shen Shijun had been deceived by Lin Xiangwan, so when Shen Shijun returned to China
At the family dinner, she tried her best to find out from nowhere the bloody news that Lin Xiangwan's previous name was Ye Xiangwan, and that he had an affair with Chu Di.
They came out and presented them together to Shen Shijun.
Shen Shijun didn't even blink when he saw those things. He just said, cousin, you are interested, so he took the matter over. The silly girl thought that she was in front of her cousin, but she didn't expect that she
It has been struck by thunder.
As a result, a year and a half later, my cousin was going to JHU for further studies. All she needed was a letter of recommendation. Shen Shijun asked Shen Shijun for help. Shen Shijun thought that my cousin was too young and lacked determination. She was afraid that she would go astray when she came to the United States alone.
You just didn't write her a letter of recommendation.
Once this incident was over, everyone in the Shen family knew that the eldest son and grandson, whom everyone loved, had white skin and a red heart, and a belly as black as ink.
You can mention any embarrassing things he has ever done in front of him, but you must not slander Lin Xiangwan, otherwise...
Kill without mercy.
Lin Xiangwan sat quietly next to Mrs. Shen, while Shen Shijun stood next to her. He took the coat that had been equipped for a long time from the hand of the servant next to him and put it on Lin Xiangwan's shoulders. He saw that her wrist was stuck by the bracelet.
With a red seal, Shen Shijun's eyes flashed with pity.
"Brother, why are you looking for me? Senior brother is obviously looking for a fat sheep for you." Lin Xiangwan was always well-behaved in front of Mrs. Shen. She raised her arm and swiped through the circle of guests and asked thiefly, "Look here.
There are so many fat-brained ones, which one should we operate on?"
Mrs. Shen just smiled and asked her, "What do you think?"
Anyway, it was just to make the old lady happy. Lin Xiangwan didn't care and pointed casually, "That's him..."
"Hello, Mrs. Shen. My name is Chu Di, and I am the president of the Chu family. This is the first time we have met. Please take care of me." The man approached like a ghost at some point, and Lin Xiangwan's finger was pointed at his chest.
, His eyes are deep and dark, making it difficult for people to see clearly what he is thinking. Anyone who meets his eyes will feel a chill in their heart.
Lin Xiangwan didn't expect such a coincidence. She retracted her fingers in embarrassment and turned her head to one side, pretending not to recognize him. Shen Shijun's face immediately became serious. The old lady looked at the two of them thoughtfully for three times before smiling and saying,
"Everyone here is a guest. Mr. Chu, please help yourself. Old lady, I am old and in poor health, so I won't greet you."
It was obvious that an eviction order had been issued. Chu Di had been hanging around in the mall for so long, how could he not hear it? But not only did he not leave, he took a step closer and said, "Chu Di is a junior and can sit at the same table as Mrs. Shen."
It's Chu's honor, I wonder if the old lady can give me some face?"
Although this method of hitting a snake with a stick is shameful, it is the most effective move for a big family like the Shen family that has the best reputation and is inconvenient to quarrel with outsiders. Chu Di used the rogue attitude
Even if he refused to leave, Mrs. Shen couldn't let the bodyguards take him out. Although the two families didn't have much time to be friends, the Chu family was still a very prestigious large company in H city, so she could only helplessly go to the house.
The person next to me winked and said, "Hurry up and move a chair for Mr. Chu. Mr. Chu is willing to accompany me, an old lady, and I'm very happy. I'm just afraid that you will feel bored."
The VIP box where Old Mrs. Shen is located is already filled with various foreign guests and relatives of the Shen family. Another chair can only be placed in the corner of the box, which is still some distance away from Old Mrs. Shen.
, a little further away from Lin Xiangwan, Chu Di quickly glanced at the corner of his eyes, and then said, "Since I am talking to the old lady, I naturally have to sit next to the old lady. If there is no one in this seat,
…”
"Do you want to sit here?" Others gasped when they saw Chu Di sitting on a gold-rimmed rosewood chair next to Mrs. Shen. Only Lin Xiangwan asked with a half-smile.
He raised his eyes and stared at Chu Di and said, "Mr. Chu has thought about it, do you really want to sit here?"
Apart from the fact that the materials used were more refined, there was nothing special about the chair. However, looking at the faces of the others, Chu Di felt that he might have done something outrageous. If it had been in the past, he might have seen this situation.
He would still take a step back, but now being stimulated by Lin Xiangwan's contemptuous tone, he couldn't help but raise his voice and replied, "Why, you can't sit in this seat?"
"It's not that it can't be done. What's the purpose of a chair? Isn't it just for people to sit on? It's just that this position is a bit special. Apart from the chair that the old lady sits on, this one is the most noble in the entire auction house. I'm afraid it will be easy for you to sit on it.
, it will be difficult to come down. Mr. Chu, have you really thought about it?"
"A Wan, stop making trouble, this position..." Seeing that the two people were not giving in to each other, Shen Shijun was afraid that Chu Di would make things difficult for Lin Xiangwan when he knew the whole story, so he wanted to persuade Lin Xiangwan, but before he finished speaking, Chu Di
He had already taken a step and sat down firmly.
"Ms. Lin is being a bit alarmist, right? It's just a chair. I just sit on it. What's wrong?"
If Chu Di still had a glimmer of clarity, he would have discovered that Shen Shijun's words of advice just now were all sincere and not hypocritical at all. And when he sat on this chair, the entire private room and even the entire auction house,
They all stood still for a while.
It's just that all his clarity and reason were burned away by alcohol at the moment. He was squinting at Lin Xiangwan from the corner of his eyes. Chu Di's attitude was like that of a naughty playboy, just waiting to see Lin Xiangwan get into trouble.
Lin Xiangwan lowered his head and smiled, ignoring Chu Di. Instead, he turned to Mrs. Shen and said, "This chair has not been sat on for some years. I remember that I was still young at that time and my father brought me to the auction.
, told me about the origin of this chair. At that time, I was wondering if anyone would have the guts to sit on it. I also made a bet with my father... Although my father is no longer here, I can count on it today.
A wish.”
When Lin Xiangwan mentioned Ye Zhong, his whole person became much gentler. There seemed to be a little ripple in his eyes, which made Mrs. Shen's heart soften. "Your father loved collecting chess records back then. The ones he sold at the auction
Most of the chess records went into his study, do you still have those chess records?"
Lin Xiangwan slowly shook his head, "When the family business couldn't survive, we took them out, sold them, or gave them away. Those things were very difficult to maintain, and our siblings didn't know how to take care of them. Just put them in our own hands.
Rather than going to waste, it is better to entrust them to someone who can collect them properly."
Chess records are like all antiques. The older they are, the less likely they are to survive. It is harder to preserve than paintings and calligraphy, and the limited number of people who appreciate it determines its highbrow fate. Ye Zhong’s chess skills are not very good, but his love for chess records is.
It may be because he is arty or because Ye Gong loves dragons. In short, in Ye Xiangwan's impression, whenever he has nothing to do, Ye Zhong always holds a yellowed old chess book and plays the game against the chessboard.
She was still young at that time and didn't know that there were so many dirty and dirty transactions in the world. She always liked to lie on Ye Zhong's lap when he was fascinated by the chess pieces, and watch the chess pieces on the board with him.
Youzhi, occasionally when Ye Zhong comes up with a clever idea, he will pick her up excitedly and laugh warmly at her...
That was the warmest moment in her memory.
Seeing Lin Xiangwan, Mrs. Shen couldn't help but think that the Ye family was once one of the top merchants in H City, but who would have thought that the business world would be ups and downs and change rapidly, and it would be ruined in the blink of an eye, leaving only orphans and widowers, struggling to survive, and her heart immediately
Somewhat uncomfortable.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the suitcase became much gloomier. Lin Xiangwan took a breath and forced a smile, "But if my father is still alive, he is probably smiling now. He won a bet from me. I don't know what will happen."
How happy I am. Speaking of which, I really want to thank Mr. Chu. If it weren’t for you, I’m afraid this bet would have continued like this without any results.”
The calm words brought the flames of war back to Chu Di. When Chu Di heard her mention Father Ye just now, he felt depressed and uncomfortable in his heart. Now that everyone was looking at him, the uncomfortable feeling became even stronger.
Everyone is working hard in the H city shopping mall. Who doesn’t know that the Ye family’s downfall was due to the Chu family? Chu Di and Lin Xiangwan made entertainment headlines in the newspaper back then, and Lin Xiangwan later
Xiang Wan quietly left his hometown and changed his name, which added a lot of beauty and fantasy to this past incident.
It's just that Shen Shijun's cold face like a city wall and the name of the Shen family made it difficult for everyone to embarrass Lin Xiangwan, so all the curious, inquiring, and inquiring eyes fell on Chu Di alone.
Feeling like sitting on pins and needles.
Only now did Chu Di understand a little bit what Lin Xiangwan meant when he said that this chair was not easy to sit on, but he did not expect that this was just the beginning, and there would be bigger and more difficult problems later.
