"These are all for me?" Naturally, I won't ask such stupid questions. According to the extravagant behavior of the Huo family, this is nothing at all.
"It's said that your birthday, young grandmother, is coming to celebrate. I hope it won't disturb you." Shen Ruoci smiles and looks at my mother-in-law and me.
"There are so many people, isn't it late?" My mother-in-law is still happy to say.
What can I say now that she has let go?
"Welcome, sister Shen." I said.
Shen Ruoci seems to be relieved. Then he looks for his bag and takes out a small box with exquisite packaging.
"I didn't prepare any decent birthday gifts, so I chose this when I went shopping with them. I don't know if my little grandmother likes it or not." She said with a smile.
"Just come. Why do you have to bring a present?" I used the common polite words, then took the small box in her hand, opened it, and there was a group of jewelry lying in the box.
The bright red color and complex design, although beautiful, give people a sense of burden.
I always prefer simple things. I really can't enjoy this gift. But I still accepted it. It's a favor of others.
"Do you like it?" Seeing that I put things away, Shen asked.
"Yes, it looks good." I replied politely.
"It's because last time, young grandma, you said that a set of jewelry in the apartment was missing. I think it might be because I threw it away when I was cleaning up, so I bought it specially to make amends with you." I just found out that Shen Ruoci's eyes were full of meaning.
Is she reminding me that my husband gave her an apartment without my knowledge?
"Make amends or something," I said with a silent smile. "It's not something precious. Just throw it away. I don't know where sister Shen lives, but I'm still satisfied? "
"Satisfied, of course!" Shen Ruoci said with a smile, "Qingchuan is ready for everything. I don't even have to pay the property fee."
If she's here to find fault, why does she suffer?
I saw a bad look in Shen Ruoci's eyes, but I was soon pressed down by her. It's just that her topic is obviously not everyone's favorite. Everyone is looking at us.
I have never been good at having a positive conflict with others. If this topic goes on, it is estimated that the atmosphere will be even worse. But this woman seems to like talking about this topic very much. Whenever I don't want to talk, she takes the initiative to say something more.
If I can, I really want to put this woman aside.
"I'd like to know where you two went this noon rather than those without nutrition. My brother has given me all the preparation work. It's really hard." Huo Yining said.
So, with the younger brother of the elite, Huo Qingchuan can finally trust others to do things.
Huo Yining at the moment with some Yuyu Shenghui's eyes looking at us two, that eyes frank, but seems to be able to see clearly in front of everything.
"Went to the restaurant you recommended last time," Huo Qingchuan first answered Huo Yining's question, and then looked at his younger brother helplessly, "at least they are Huo family members, do some work to make you aggrieved."
"I'm just a part-time worker!" Huo Yining is reluctant.
Huo Qingchuan choked by his younger brother's childishness, wisely chose to shut up.
"Tell me, is my sister-in-law satisfied with the lunch date that I got in exchange for my labor?" He let go of his brother and turned to me.
Then everyone looked at me, even Yan Yan also looked at me.
The feeling of being watched is really not good, "satisfied, the cake is delicious, and the food is also delicious." I said.
But my answer obviously can't satisfy everyone, I have seen the expression of breaking the casserole to ask the end from their faces.
"We don't care whether the food is delicious or not, whether the decoration is high-end or not. We just want to know the details of your two falling in love." Huo Yining said.
Hello, little brother-in-law, even if the people present are mostly adults, they don't have to be so blatant. Yan Yan has learned a lot of things that she shouldn't, so please forgive her.
"That restaurant is very romantic," Shen Ruoci added. "I think the young grandmother must be very happy."
Fortunately, happiness has nothing to do with you. I took a look at Shen Ruoci. Since I knew her purpose, I had no good impression on women.
"Dad, Dad," Yan Yan climbed to Huo Qingchuan's knee and looked up at the man, "did you give mom a gift?"
The whole room was filled with sighs.
Yes, I got blessings from my family and even my rival. You are still there, having a romantic lunch, but it doesn't mean that you can be a husband.
I looked at Huo Qingchuan and wanted to see how he would prevaricate for himself.
But the man's action was unexpected. He turned inside the pocket of his coat, took out a small box and handed it to me.
I've never seen a box of this shape. It's a box for rings.
My heart beat fast again, and then opened the lid of the box under everyone's attention.
"Wow ~ ~" the bright ring in it made me scream.
The ring is generous and simple, but the diamond with 3 carats on it is very valuable.
Huo Qingchuan bought me such an expensive gift, which I never thought of.
"It's worthy of being a big boss. Your gift is enough for my salary for a long time." Huo Yining joked.
"I really envy my little grandmother for having a husband who loves you so much!" Shen Ruoci also said with a smile, but how do I feel that what she said is gnashing her teeth?
I gave her a polite smile, "I believe sister Shen will meet such a man in the near future."
Shen Ruoci was silent, and her beautiful face didn't seem to hang.
"What's the matter? It's the only ring in a city that Ogawa found after going to many stores. Do you like it?" Instead of my son, my mother-in-law asked me.
No woman can resist the charm of diamonds, I am also an ordinary woman, of course, like this shining baby.
I looked at Huo Qingchuan and said, "thank you. I like it very much."
The man's expression did not change much, but after all, he laughed and took the ring from my hand. "Let me help you put it on. This is my birthday present for you."
The feeling that a man rubs his fingers still makes people happy. Looking at the diamond on his fingers, which symbolizes love and commitment, I feel that my eyes seem a little wet.
Soft hearted people are also easily moved. At the moment, I seem to have completely forgotten all kinds of unpleasantness that happened before.
There are still many people here. Even if they are moved, they can't show it so clearly. I give myself hints again and again, and finally control my mood before the tears come out.
"Dinner should also be ready," mother-in-law changed the topic, "today is late birthday, there is no one else, just our family, a good get-together."
I'm in such a good mood that I don't want to worry about a non family member here.
The size of the dinner was as grand as ever. Under the leadership of my father-in-law, everyone said "Happy Birthday" to me in unison. This kind of warmth made me feel inexplicably shy.
Yan Yan is the happiest, no matter who it is, such a day of celebration will always make children feel happy.
Huo Qingchuan was next to me. He patiently helped me with a lot of delicious food. He also said that I could eat it at noon, maybe because I didn't have enough, so I had to eat more in the evening.
Although it's not pleasant to hear, I also know that he has not seen me for a long time and is joking with me.
Such a dinner can not be without the help of wine. My father-in-law was very happy and took out the wine he had collected for many years. Because I drank it at noon, I was afraid it would affect my children, so I didn't drink it again. Huo Yining also said that he couldn't drink it. Because of his popularity in Huo's family, no one forced him to drink it.
So the burden of drinking with his father-in-law fell on the rest of the people. Huo Qingchuan slowly tasted the wine, but Shen Ruoci drank it one by one, regardless of the image.
A meal ends in a pleasant environment, and it's time to see the guests off again.
Before, as long as Shen Ruoci came home as a guest, as long as she drank a little, Huo Qingchuan would take her home. Today, she drinks a little bit, so naturally there must be a flower escort.
"If not, let Ruoci stay." Looking at the flushed woman, her mother-in-law frowned and said.
Shen Ruoci opened his eyes and said nothing.
"I didn't drink. I can take sister Shen back." Huo Yining solemnly said, "last time I went to sister Shen's house, I knew the way."
"Xiaoning didn't drink either. It should be OK." Huo Qingchuan is helping.
Others are OK, Huo Qingchuan said, I obviously feel Shen Ruoci half squint eyes flashed a trace of disappointment.
In fact, I don't have much opinion on whether Shen Ruoci is staying in the Huo family. There are so many houses in the Huo family that she can't sleep with us.
"Then we'll set out," he said. Huo Yining came to support Shen Ruoci. "Sister Shen, believe me, and I promise to send you home safely."
Finally, the maids helped Shen Ruoci to Huo Yining's Land Rover, and then they left the Huo family mansion.
After they left, the family went back to the house talking and laughing.
I can feel that Shen Ruoci actually wants to stay here, but Huo Yining finds a reason to send her away. Also, these days, this younger brother seems to be willing to help me and Huo Qingchuan make up. He is on my side.
But I always feel that when I get along with him, my impression is totally different from that when I first meet him. Is it because he is a family member that he is so lively?
I don't know how to think about it. The more I think about it, the more entangled I will be.
My father-in-law and mother-in-law have gone back to the house, leaving only three members of our family.
"Yan Yan, let's play the song for mom again for Dad, but dad didn't hear it." Huo Qingchuan said to Yan Yan.
"Good!" Yan Yan agreed without hesitation.
So Huo Qingchuan and I took our baby daughter by one hand and walked upstairs.
