"Let's meet the Qi family first! Now the Shang family is in urgent need of a huge sum of money. The Qi family is so famous in the political circles. It depends on whether they can get government funding. No one outside is willing to lend money to the Shang family now."
After saying this, Shang Mingsen had a look of embarrassment on his face. Now he only had this way. If this marriage could be established, it would be of great benefit to the Shang family.
At this time, Zhao Nongyue sneered: "So you had this plan in mind, and thought you sincerely welcomed her back."
Shang Mingsen frowned: "What you said, of course I sincerely welcome her back. Think about it, the house is as quiet as a temple now, and it will be impossible without children."
Zhao Nongyue gave him a cold look, "Those are your children, not mine."
Shang Mingsen's old face suddenly became wrinkled, "Yue'er, didn't I agree at the beginning that you would regard them as your own children?"
Zhao Nongyue snorted coldly, "I want to treat them as my biological children, but when I see them, I think of your disloyalty to me. Shang Mingsen, why do you want me to treat them as my biological children?"
Shang Wan was upstairs, and Shang Mingsen was worried that she would suddenly come down and hear what had happened. He hurriedly hugged Zhao Nongyue and comforted him: "Yue'er, you know that I haven't done anything since I had Tianyi, right?
It's your business, and you can't do it. Can you bear to cut off the Shang family's incense?"
When Zhao Nongyue heard this, she pushed Shang Mingsen away coldly, with contempt on her face: "Shang Mingsen, in fact, you are a selfish person. You have an excuse for everything. I shouldn't have married him more than 20 years ago.
you."
After saying that, she turned around and walked upstairs. Her infertility was also caused by the man in front of her, but now he used it as an excuse to cheat. He is really a heartless and unjust person.
"Yue'er, you can blame me all you want, but you have to go tonight." Shang Mingsen's words stopped Zhao Nongyue from moving, but he did not turn around, but said coldly.
"This is the last time I agree to your request. Don't think that I will help you with anything in the future."
The decisiveness of these words made Shang Mingsen sigh deeply. The topic that had been taboo for many years was now revealed when Shang Wan came back, and the relationship between him and her became even more rigid.
*****
Shang Wan walked into the room where he had lived. He was greeted by a dry, musty smell that had not been lived in for a long time, but it was clean and not stained with a trace of dust.
No matter how good a house is, it will deteriorate if no one lives in it.
It is still decorated in a girlish style, and the things inside are the same as when she left. Even the layout has not changed.
Chibi Maruko-chan's bedsheets, quilt cover, and pillowcases are all faded, like old newspapers that have been sealed up, with a yellowish tint.
On the desk is her favorite Chibi Maruko-chan, and next to it is a photo she took when she was in college, with a green smile, simple but happy.
There are also her books on the desk, classics, comics, romance novels...
Nothing has changed, it is still the same. Sitting by the bed, it seems that she has returned to five years ago. The beauty of the past is like a picture frame, one by one, passing by in front of her eyes.
It wasn't until Shang Mingsen called her that she walked out of the room and followed Shang Mingsen and Zhao Nongyue to the Hilton Hotel for dinner.
Before leaving, she secretly called Shao Luan Sheng and told him that she was eating at home and would not go back to eat with him. Shao Luan Sheng also had entertainment in the evening, so he didn't care and just told her to come back early.
.
But when Shang Wan walked into the box and saw Qi Zhengnan's family, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning, with a blank look on his face.
"Lao Qi, I'm sorry, we're late." Shang Mingsen greeted with a smile on his face.
"It's not too late. The time is just right. We arrived early." Qi Chenghan stood up and said with a smile.
Shang Wan, who was standing behind, had no intention of listening to their polite words and looked straight at Qi Zhengnan. Qi Zhengnan also shrugged at her, expressing his helplessness.
"Ah Wan, greetings to Uncle Qi and his family." Shang Mingsen's loud voice from the front drew her eyes back, with a smile on his face.
"Uncle Qi, hello, aunt."
"Okay, Wan, I haven't seen you for a long time, and she looks like this."
Shang Wan had no choice but to respond with a silly smile. To be honest, she didn't know that her father mentioned going out to eat, but he came here to eat with the Qi family?
After exchanging polite words, Shang Wan sat next to Qi Zhengnan. Seeing the elders talking about their topics, she approached Qi Zhengnan and asked in a low voice.
"Why are you back?"
The corner of Qi Zhengnan's mouth moved: "I was called back by my father for a blind date, and I didn't expect to meet you. It's really unexpected."
Shang Wan was stunned, "What did you say? Blind date?"
Qi Zhengnan raised his eyebrows: "You can't see that the elders mean this, right?"
She wrinkled her little face and muttered: "But my dad said I came out to eat."
There was an imperceptible smile in Qi Zhengnan's eyes, "Your father may be worried about whether you will come, so he doesn't dare to say it openly! However, I am very happy that the relationship between you and your family has been repaired."
She sighed: "I just went home today, and they are doing this. I really don't know what to say?"
"Parents love each other, so don't blame your dad."
"By the way, why can't you make calls on your cell phone?"
At this point, Shang Wan realized that she had forgotten to tell him, so he could only smile and say, "I'm sorry, I changed my number and didn't notify you for a while."
"Why do you change your phone number so easily?" Qi Zhengnan stared at Shang Wan with his bright eyes.
She flashed a far-fetched smile: "That number is no longer working. Maybe it's because it's been used for a long time and the signal is a bit bad, so I changed it."
He gave him a look and said, "Give me your number now and I'll enter it into my phone."
"13..."
The two of them were whispering their private words, but this scene had a different meaning in the eyes of the elders.
This prompted Qi Chenghan to joke, "Look, we are indeed childhood sweethearts. We got to know each other like a young couple as soon as we met, and they forgot that we existed."
Shang Wan was suddenly embarrassed. He raised his head and gave a stiff smile: "Uncle Qi, Zheng Nan and I are like brothers and sisters. We have many topics to talk about when we meet."
Qi Chenghan laughed loudly: "Haha, I don't look like brother and sister, but more like a young couple."
Then he turned to Shang Mingsen, "Old Shang, let's see when the good things between the two of us are settled! This will save us adults from worrying all day long."
Seeing that Qi Chenghan had started talking, Shang Mingsen smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Old Qi, Wan has just come back. I don't know her thoughts yet, but I really like Zhengnan, a young and promising person."
These words are really worth four taels of gold.
Qi Zhengnan's mother answered with a look: "In my opinion, these two young people have been together for a long time. It's just that we old guys don't know it."
Shang Wan waved her hands with a blush on her face: "Aunt Qi, Zhengnan and I feel like we are just brothers and sisters. Zhengnan feels the same way. Zhengnan, please say something."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Zhengnan stepped on his foot. Qi Zhengnan was unprepared for a moment and let out a stinging sound: "Silk..."
Everyone laughed, and Qi Zhengnan's mother joked in the midst of laughter: "Ah, Wan, I'm so sorry."
The more anxious Shang Wan waved his hand: "No, it's really not."
But no matter how much she tried to clear it up, she couldn't erase the thoughts that had formed in everyone's minds.
Qi Zhengnan didn't explain, which made Shang Wan angry with him. After the meal, she only said a few words.
But the one who was even more silent was Zhao Nongyue. She almost never spoke to her, she just sat and watched everyone's expressions with cold eyes.
So the meal was lukewarm. An hour and a half later, in this atmosphere, this special blind date ended.
This was something Shang Wan never expected. She was caught on a blind date just after she came back. She felt a little frustrated. But what was even more frustrating was that after she walked out of the box, she actually met Shao Luansheng.
Shao Luansheng was walking and communicating with guests at the time. When he walked to Shang Wan's box, his face turned cold when he saw Shang Wan's family and Qi Zhengnan's family walking out of the box.
When Shang Wan saw Shao Luansheng, he was also stunned, with a confused look on his face. How could it be such a coincidence? Did he meet him here?
Seeing his changing expression, I became even more confused. He must not have misunderstood!
Shao Luansheng regained his original color in an instant and continued to communicate with the man beside him. Suddenly the man raised his face and looked at Shang Wan, with a smile on his face.
Then he said a few words to Shao Luansheng, and then walked towards Shang Wan and the others. At this time, Qi Chenghan was talking to Shang Mingsen with smiles on their faces.
"Secretary Qi, hello." The man who came over said with a smile as he walked.
Qi Chenghan raised his head, saw the man approaching, stopped and smiled, "Hello, Director Zhao."
"Secretary Qi, what a coincidence that I meet you here."
The man stretched out his hand and shook hands with Qi Chenghan.
"Director Zhao, what a coincidence."
"I was talking about a dinner party with my business friends. I didn't expect Secretary Qi to be here tonight."
"Yes, let's get together with old friends."
At this time, Shao Luan Sheng had already walked over. His eyes were always looking at Shang Wan, and Shang Wan winked at him vigorously.
"Secretary Qi, let me introduce to you. This is Mr. Shao Luansheng, the president of Wanhong Group in Hong Kong. This is a new and powerful young man! He is very promising."
"To be praised so highly by Director Zhao, he must be a good young man." Qi Chengchao said with a smile.
"Hello, Secretary Qi." Shao Luansheng stretched out his hand towards Qi Chenghan.
"Hello, Mr. Shao." Qi Chenghan shook his hand.
Such a scene made Shang Mingsen a little anxious. I just saw him looking at Wan Wan with a frightened look in his eyes. I hope he won't do anything big in front of Lao Qi.
Qi Zhengnan stood beside Shang Wan, his face colorless, his eyes scanning Shao Luansheng intentionally or unintentionally, unable to tell what he was thinking.
Shang Wan just looked helpless and looked at Shao Luansheng.
The pleasantries were over and when they were about to leave, Shao Luansheng said something.
"Ah Wan, you didn't say you would go home for dinner, why are you here?"
This sound was like dropping a stone on the calm water, causing ripples in circles, which rippled into everyone's hearts.
The atmosphere suddenly solidified. Shang Wan saw the suspicion on everyone's faces and quickly said: "Yes, I will eat here."
At this time, Shang Mingsen was worried that Shao Luansheng said something he shouldn't have said, so he responded: "Mr. Shao, Wan is working under you, please take good care of me."
There will be another update later, and today there will be an update of 10,000 words.
