It's been a long time since I returned to the Lu family mansion. To be honest, Shen Xinbai felt a little strange at the moment when he entered the door. Unexpectedly, she didn't have a sense of belonging when she returned to Xiao's old house. What's going on... She doesn't think she is a forgetful person, but why does she feel so strange to a place where she has lived for more than ten years?
Just because the heart is far away?
Or because there are people here who make her feel strange?
For Lu Jiayi now, Shen Xinbai always feels that they seem to have just met. This man is not Lu Jiayi she knew before. When there is a person you are not familiar with in an environment you are familiar with, it may become less friendly with this environment.
"Aunt... Happy New Year's Day!" Shen Xinbai handed the gift to Aunt Lu and said with a smile, "Xiao Yan and I chose it together. I don't know whether aunt likes it or not."
"I like it," aunt Lu said repeatedly before she opened it. "Xinbai's eyes are the best. The things you buy must be very beautiful."
Shen Xinbai gave aunt Lu a cashmere scarf, and the design and color were selected by Xiao. Shen Xinbai really didn't lie. This suit is really selected by Xiao. But the process was a little difficult. She forced Xiao Yan to submit by force.
"It's a beautiful design..." aunt Lu really likes it.
"Yes," said Wang Ruoxi with a smile, "this is the most popular color this year, especially showing temperament."
"It's the dress Xiao chose for the banquet," Shen Xinbai said. "It seems that my eyes can't keep up with the trend. To tell the truth, I didn't like it when he chose this dress."
Lu Jiayi listened. Her face was already very ugly. Obviously, this is Shen Xinbai's deliberate show of love.
"All right, don't go around this scarf," said Lu Jiayi. "It's not that we Lu can't afford a big scarf. What's good? Ruoxi, tell Aunt Zhang to set a meal."
This time, Lu Jiayi didn't do anything about his face. He said with a cold face. This makes aunt Lu unavoidably a little embarrassed. However, when Xiao Yan and Shen Xinbai were present, it was not convenient to teach his son a lesson.
Just looked at him displeased, but said with a smile: "you don't have this filial piety. When you see Xinbai and a-yan buying gifts for your mother, you feel beaten in the face and can't stand down. Isn't it? Who made you forget? You should be punished! You'll be punished for one more drink later."
"Aunt, there are gifts for you." Shen Xinbai transferred the conversation between aunt Lu and Lu Jiayi.
Because in Lu Jiayi's current state, he didn't know how to jump down if aunt Lu gave him this step.
It may be that Aunt Lu's recent condition is relatively stable, and Lu Jiayi is not as worried as before. Sometimes when it comes to acting, naturally, we can't take into account the emotions of aunt landing everywhere as before, and we won't show our anger or reluctance.
I suddenly felt that thanks to Aunt Lu's early marriage, Lu Jiayi was in shock and guilt when she just learned about her illness. If Lu Jiayi gets used to it and feels that Aunt Lu has nothing to do, no matter what aunt Lu says, Lu Jiayi will take it as a breeze in her ear.
"Grandma, this is my painting. I'll give it to grandma who has won little Safflower in the class." shaking and holding up his small hand, he sent a crayon painting to Mrs. Lu.
Mrs. Lu answered. She couldn't stop saying "OK" before she had time to take a closer look.
"Yo, is this painted by my nephew?" Wang Ruoxi came up and said, "the color matching is really good. Xinbai, in my professional opinion, who has the potential to be a painter? You, a mother, should pay attention and cultivate him."
Shen Xinbai smiled and said nothing.
Because at this time, if you let her respond to Wang Ruoxi, it must be nothing to listen to. Because of Wang Ruoxi and ye Shiya, Shen Xinbai really doesn't like painting. Although I know I'm generalizing, I just don't want Yaoyao to draw, but to make Yaoyao a musician. Even to write pop songs.
But... The poor little fellow, the only way in the future, has been planned by his father. Xiao Yan will certainly cultivate the little guy into a very smart and qualified businessman. I don't know whether it's a good thing or a bad thing.
"I don't want to be a painter," shaking said seriously. "I want to be an actor, make movies and play TV dramas like Uncle mu."
"Ah?" Shen Xinbai, Wang Ruoxi, aunt Lu and Lu Jiayi exclaimed almost at the same time.
Although the little guy said he wanted to be an actor before, Shen Xinbai didn't take it to heart because he hadn't mentioned it for a long time. Unexpectedly, he said it so seriously in front of outsiders today. In other words, the dream has been deeply rooted in his heart. So when someone mentioned it, he said it without scruples.
"Ha ha... Well, it's good to be an actor," aunt Lu said with a smile. "360 lines make the best. We shake and look so good. If we were actors, we would win the movie emperor."
"Being an actor depends on acting skills, not just looking good," the little guy said seriously. "If Uncle Mu just looks good and doesn't have acting skills, there won't be a TV play to play with him."
"Well," Shen Xinbai picked up Yaoyao and said, "don't delay everyone's dinner. Don't you see that the food has been set up and waiting for the table? You keep talking here, don't you delay everyone's time? Did Mommy tell you that you must know how to think of others when doing things?"
It is estimated that Xiao Yan has lost face. It's a pity that we can't teach the little milk bag now in front of outsiders. So now the situation is that he is as oppressed as aunt Lu.
This reunion dinner was destined to be disharmonious. Lu Jiayi's face was always ugly, while Wang Ruoxi helped her landing aunt adjust the atmosphere. Xiao Yan buried himself in eating. Of course, he didn't move his chopsticks much. It's just a noble attitude of "I don't want to get involved in your family's topic".
They are also people in the mall. How can aunt Lu not know Xiao Yan's temper? So I won't be embarrassed at this time. Only when it comes to what can be answered with "um" or nodding will I say a word to Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan also cooperated. Instead of pretending to be deaf and dumb, he gave an answer of "um" or nodding.
After dinner, aunt Lu naturally didn't want them to leave immediately. In fact, Shen Xinbai is reluctant to give up.
Although it was a little strange at the moment when she stepped into the mansion, this was her home after all. As long as she stayed for a while, the sense of familiarity came back naturally.
However, because Lu Jiayi and Xiao Yan are silent, it is obvious that the atmosphere will be even worse if they get together to chat again. It happened that the little milk bag was a little sleepy. Shen Xinbai left the hall on the first floor on the pretext of taking the child back to the room to sleep.
After Shen Xinbai and Xiao Yan left, the three of them who were usually at home naturally had nothing to say.
Aunt Lu just pointed to Lu Jiayi and said, "you..."
Full of helplessness. After all, this son has been so stubborn since childhood. If he is in a bad mood, once he shows it, it's useless for anyone to say anything. Once revealed, it is necessary to face the cold to the end.
In fact, Shen Xinbai is curious about why up to now, Lu Jiayi can't hear the word "marriage", but Wang Ruoxi still seems that nothing has happened. Continue to stay in the Lu family, continue to act as an unmarried daughter-in-law, continue to respond to Aunt Lu and tolerate Lu Jiayi.
Is it really because of teenage dreams? If you are so affectionate, it is admirable.
But Wang Ruoxi didn't come to talk to her about anything, and she wouldn't take the initiative to contact her. Can't you persuade her to marry Lu Jiayi as soon as possible?
Maybe when she turned around, Wang Ruoxi told Lu Jiayi what she said. Isn't this asking for trouble?
I was sleepy when I was downstairs, but I couldn't sleep when I went to the room and lay in bed.
"Let's go. What are you waiting for?" Xiao Yan saw that Yaoyao couldn't sleep and didn't have the patience to stay here. He picked up Yaoyao and left.
Shen Xinbai looked at the time. Although he thought it was too hasty to come and go, Xiao Yan was impatient. Something must happen if he stayed.
"Aunt, we can't sleep in the bed. Let's go back first." Shen Xinbai said to Uncle Lu as he went downstairs and sat alone in the living room.
Seeing aunt Lu sitting on the empty sofa, Shen Xinbai's heart was sour.
When the child is not at home, aunt Lu is sad enough to sit like this alone. But now she and Lu Jiayi are at home, but aunt Lu is still so lonely... This is that they are too unfilial as children.
"Oh... Well," aunt Lu was obviously a little lost, but she didn't force her to stay. She just said, "I still want you to sleep here tonight. But the child's body matters. If it's inconvenient, go back if you want."
Shen Xinbai saw the tired color from Aunt Lu's face. The former spirit of Yiyi has faded more and more since my aunt fell ill. Instead, the old man climbed up his face and body. But now she is only in her fifties.
Years are really the most terrible thing. Even when you are young, you can't escape the sadness of beauty in the end. In her memory, aunt Lu always looked like a beautiful woman in her thirties. Elegant, decent and generous, with a smile, are the most beautiful scenery in the whole banquet.
But now aunt Lu looks really old. Even though he is still graceful and generous, he no longer has the style of looking forward to life and glory in his early years.
Aunt Lu kept sending them to their mouths, but she was still reluctant.
"Aunt, we will often come back to see you," Shen Xinbai said. "And if aunt wants me to shake with you, you can also go home to see us."
Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "OK, we have plenty of time... Be careful on the way."
