"Work is important, it's none of his business. He's on a business trip and he's worried that I'm not safe by myself, so he let me come here."
"Well, that makes sense. "Actually, I was also on my way to the Chen family, with Jia Qian by my side."
Shu Shu felt a little excited. "Greetings to the parents. Good, good. We'll be waiting for the wedding wine soon."
"Sigh, not very optimistic. His parents have always been against it. Today, he insisted on bringing me back to meet his grandfather." Shen Xiaoxuan helplessly glared at Chen Jia Qian, who was driving. Actually, she was unwilling to go no matter what.
"Then you can do it. I'm done talking. It's almost time to eat. I have to go and help."
"Alright, let's work hard together."
"Yes."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Xiaoxuan took out a small mirror and looked at herself in it. Today, she had put on a light makeup and dressed elegantly.
"Don't worry, we'll have to face it eventually. It's good if they agree, but if they don't, I won't waver in my resolve. In any case, we'll be living outside in the future." Chen Jia Qian held the steering wheel with one hand and Shen Xiaoxuan's hand with the other.
Compared to the location of Chen's apartment, the mansion was located in a quiet and secluded area in the suburbs. The place was large: a garage, a garden, a nursery, and vegetables. The house was a garden style house, with white tiles on the outside, two floors, nine rooms below, eight rooms above, in the "L" shape.
Until today, Shen Xiaoxuan could be considered as someone who had seen the world. She had never seen any houses before, but she truly felt that the European-style villa that the rich people lived in was too weak compared to their house.
He followed Chen Jia Qian inside. The interior was more modern than the outside, and the furnishings were much more luxurious than the apartment Chen Jia Qian currently lived in.
There was no one in the living room. His father should be fishing by the pond not too far away. There was the sound of mahjong from the side hall. His mother and aunt should be inside.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see grandpa first."
Grandpa lived downstairs in the west side of the door to the first room. Chen Jiaxian walked in with Little Xuan. Grandpa was reading a novel.
He was 84 years old and had no hair on his head. His hair was even smoother than He Shang's. His face was full of wrinkles. Talking to him was so tiring and tiring, he really wanted to bring a megaphone and put on reading a novel through his reading glasses.
Chen Jiaxi said loudly to his grandfather, "Grandpa, I've brought your grandson's wife to see you, are you satisfied?"
Grandfather raised his head from the book and looked at Chen Jia Qian in confusion, then looked at Shen Xiaoxuan and asked, "What?"
Chen Jia Qian had to repeat himself.
"Is it your wife?" his grandfather repeated uncertainly.
Chen Jia Qian nodded and asked loudly: "Is it pretty?"
Pappy shook his head and continued to read.
Shen Xiaoxuan's passion was being poured cold water on him. Was a famous celebrity like her not worth looking at?
She walked over and picked up the book she had bought for her grandfather. Actually, it was prepared by Chen Jiaxian, so she said softly, "Grandfather, quickly say that I'm beautiful. If you say that I'm beautiful, then I'll give the book to you. I also bought a lot of delicious food for you, as well as a big cake. Say that I'm beautiful, and I'll give it all to you. " Grandpa must be senile dementia. Sigh, blaming the poor old man. She only thought about it, but didn't dare say.
After his grandfather heard Shen Xiaoxuan's words, he did not ask any further questions and instead nodded at Chen family.
Shen Xiaoxuan shamelessly asked, "Am I very beautiful?"
Pappy looked at her and nodded to his grandson.
Damn, this old man must have done it on purpose. Shen Xiaoxuan felt like she was fooled on the spot. How embarrassing.
After the servant had received the things they brought, Grandfather no longer looked at them. He didn't care what Little Xuan told him, which further confirmed her thoughts.
"Old man!" Shen Xiaoxuan suddenly shouted.
Pappy ignored him.
Chen Jiaxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he pulled her away, "To the side hall, my mom and my aunt should be there."
Seeing that her son had brought someone back, Mama Chen did not say anything, but Chen Chong was the first to speak, "Oh, isn't this the superstar Shen Xiaoxuan? It's an honor."
Shen Xiaoxuan noticed that besides her mother and Chen Yuan, Bai Xiaoran had also come to play mahjong together. There was also another one, her aunt.
She turned around and glared at Chen Jia Qian, but he shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
"Xiaoran was invited by me," Mama Chen said. "Why did you bring an outsider with you when you came back for dinner? Since Xiaoran is here today, you should take good care of her. "
Chen Jia Qian held onto Shen Xiaoxuan's hand tightly, "Mom, I don't need to introduce you guys about this, I've already told you about it before." He pulled at Little Xuan, using his eyes to signal her to quickly take out the present she prepared.
Shen Xiaoxuan took out the bag, it was a gift that she had bought specifically yesterday. She handed over two sets of famous underwear to Shen Xiaoxuan with both hands.
Mama Chen didn't even look at it and just let the servant take it.
Shen Xiaoxuan was extremely depressed in her heart. She really wanted to walk away on the spot, but Chen Jia Qian held her hand tightly and said, "I'll go call Dad, you guys continue playing." Then he pulled her out.
Returning to the garage, Chen Jia Qian hugged her and kissed her on the forehead, "I'll go get my dad, he's at the pond behind. Your high heels aren't easy to walk on, it'll take you about half an hour to go back and forth."
"Don't worry, I can handle the things here."
"I know you are powerful, but who can't do it? You can take care of everyone if you want to. Why don't we go and watch them rub mahjong? "
"No, where are you going to suffer?"
"I actually want to give you more time to get along with my mother. I really want you two to get along well. Of course, if she goes too far, you can talk about her or call me and I'll teach her a lesson. But forget it, the situation wasn't looking too optimistic. "Why don't you go and accompany grandpa for a while?"
"He's not even paying attention to me. What am I supposed to do to him?"
"I was worried that they would come out and cause trouble for you, so I went to accompany Grandfather. So they didn't dare to."
"Fine."
"Also, I really don't know that Bai Xiaoran is here. I never contacted her at all. Normally, I would just hide from her at the television station."
"Alright, alright. Let's hurry up and go, hurry up and come back. Isn't it just half an hour? It'll be over in a blink of an eye."
Chen Jiaxi gave her another hug and walked towards the small path behind the house.
Shen Xiaoxuan returned upstairs. Yes, she didn't want to be angry, but she still wanted to get along well with her mother. This time, it was Chen Yuan who asked her to sit, everyone saw her as invisible.
Just when she wanted to sit beside Chen Yuan, her mother suddenly said, "Why did you make someone who doesn't understand mahjong sit beside you? Looks good? "
Chen Yuan smiled as if she had gotten away with something, "Th, sorry, sister-in-law. I'm a Hu."
After that, there was the sound of someone rubbing a general. No one paid any more attention to Shen Xiaoxuan.
The situation was out of her imagination, so she had to reconsider how to respond. She smiled and said, "I think it's better if I went to see grandpa."
When no one answered her, she came out full of grievance, went to her grandfather's room, and sat down beside him on a small stool.
Grandfather was still reading and did not look up.
"Geezer, can you stop reading and talk to me?"
Grandpa didn't move.
"Old man, it's so tiring to read books. Can I tell you a wuxia story?"
"Geezer, are you really unable to hear what I'm saying?"
"Geezer, why is your daughter-in-law like this? If I were your son, I would just divorce your daughter-in-law, but your daughter-in-law's son is not bad, and your granddaughter-in-law is not bad, right?"
Grandpa still didn't move, but the corner of his mouth twitched.
"If you don't respond, I'll go on. It's best if you can't hear it. Just put it in your stomach. I love your grandson very much. He's handsome, nice and rich. You said his condition is so good. You don't know? I tell you, that's because I'm better. I am Oreza, Paris, and I am definitely worth it. No, I'm better than Oreza. Tell your daughter-in-law that if she misses my daughter-in-law, her son will suffer a fate worse than death. Who else loves her son so much, and I'm still so good, right? "
As she said these words, she saw the corners of her grandfather's mouth constantly twitching. She thought that since she had already said so many heart-wrenching, shameful things to him, he should show some concern to me. "Grandfather, can you tell me a thing or two?" It was not as if he couldn't even speak!
Sigh, Grandpa still hadn't moved.
She then said, "Sigh, just because I'm an artist, your daughter-in-law doesn't like me and has to find someone suitable to be her husband. I don't think that Bai Xiaoran is very good either, other than her family being better than me, how can she be better than me? However, this is my life, I was born with a higher status than you. "Sigh, you don't even know, becoming an artist has been tough, eating less and working more every day. The manager said that I've gotten fat, but I'm so damned if I'm fat or skinny. Your grandson is supervising me, and he doesn't even allow me to eat puffs."
While talking, she opens a box of puffs in front of Grandpa and puts one of them in my mouth. Grandpa only looks at puffs, not even looking at her.
She was about to pinch the second puffs to throw into her mouth when her grandfather suddenly took the puffs from her hands and put them into his own mouth, "You can eat one to satisfy your craving. If you eat another one, I'll tell my grandson."
"Grandfather, aren't you deaf? Are you pretending? " Shen Xiaoxuan was overjoyed, she had finally forced her grandfather to speak.
As she spoke, she reached out to tug at his ear.
His grandfather turned his head and said, "It's not that I can't hear, it's just that I don't want to hear it."
"Why not?"
"My daughter-in-law's mouth is broken, the words she says are unpleasant to hear."
She gave her grandfather a thumbs-up. For the time being, she needed to be as deaf and dumb as her grandfather.
After he came out from his grandpa's, he brought the sliced cantaloupe into the side hall. When he walked to the door, he heard voices inside.
Mother Chen: "Why is there another mistake? Today is really bad luck."
Chen Yuan: "Don't be angry. It's all brought by that little celebrity. It's fine once she leaves."
Another aunt said, "Yes, yes, for the sake of an irrelevant popularity?"
Mother Chen: "What are you talking about? If she marries my son, I'll become her mother. I can't afford to be such a mother. She has so many fans, if I say a few words to her, I'll drown in my saliva!"
Bai Xiaoran spoke up, "Auntie, you're right. Look at her buy you underwear the moment she arrived. She doesn't look like a girl from a good family at all. There are many dirty things in the entertainment circle. With her popularity right now, she must have accompanied a lot of people. "
