In the evening, half of the sky is dyed red by sunset.
There was a dinner party in the evening of Qinhuai year. Hao Yan took a taxi to the villa after work. She didn't bring sugar, either. She came alone.
She came here just to fulfill her agreement. Not everyone in the villa welcomed her, especially the most obvious old lady Zhuang, so she didn't want to bring her daughter here. She was treated coldly.
When the taxi stopped steadily, Hao Yan saw Zhuang Qingze and Lin Yin in the yard.
They were all wrapped in a heavy overcoat, obviously waiting for her.
Hao Yan is shocked.
Especially when Zhuang Qingze saw that the tip of her nose was slightly red by the wind, her heart moved and she couldn't help saying, "you just left the hospital, and the resistance hasn't fully recovered. Don't freeze to it, or rest more in the room!"
Although the sun hasn't completely faded, it's still cold in the north after winter.
Zhuang Qing said with a smile, "I'm ok, and I just came out with Xiaoyin!"
In fact, he couldn't sit still and was worried that Hao Yan would suddenly change her mind and don't want to come.
Lin Yin understood her husband's mood and said with a smile, "let's go first!"
Hao Yan nodded and followed them into the villa.
In winter, the Parthenocissus on the walls of both sides of the villa has withered, but the servants take good care of it, which still looks very elegant. After entering from the gate, through the porch, on the right is the huge living room.
Hao Yan was invited to the dealer today. She didn't bring much valuable gifts. After a long struggle, she only chose a bunch of flowers.
She didn't want to be misunderstood as having any sense of flattery.
Hao Yan came to the appointment just because he promised Zhuang Qing to invite her to dinner on the grounds of gratitude. In this way, the other party's feelings were returned, so as not to burden their hearts.
In the living room, Zhuang Laozi and Zhuang Qintong are sitting on the sofa.
There are tea and snacks arranged early on the tea table. When Grange saw her coming in, he smiled kindly and was very welcome.
Zhuang Qintong stood up and greeted her gracefully.
Hao Yan nodded faintly in response.
Zhuang Laozi looked at the two young people and thought that they were vigorous. He raised his hand and stroked the white beard on their chin. His smile was deeper. "When Qin Tong grew up in the villa, you young people should have more topics. Moreover, I heard Xiao Yin say that you and Qin Tong are excellent fashion designers and should get along very well!"
Zhuang Qin Tong nodded with a smile on his brow and eyes, "what my grandfather said!"
Hao Yan laughs and says nothing.
In addition to her rival, there was once a fashion week and the just concluded draft contest. There was no real so-called peace between her and Zhuang Qintong.
After all, for more than 20 years, we all don't know each other's existence, and get along with each other very embarrassed and strange.
After sitting down, it seems that there are few topics to talk about.
When old Zhuang saw this, he took the initiative to order the kitchen to have dinner. All of them got up and went to the restaurant together.
Hao Yan is willing to fight quickly.
In the dining room, the long table is full of delicate dishes, and the kitchen nearby can still see the busy figure of the servant inside.
Hao Yan can see that it's not a normal family meal, but a grand preparation.
Everyone was seated.
Old Master Zhuang sits in the main seat, with Zhuang Qingze and Hao Yan on the left, Lin Yin and Zhuang Qintong on the right, while there is an empty seat in the middle, which is the seat of old lady Zhuang.
When Hao Yan entered the door, she did not see old lady Zhuang.
Old lady Zhuang was at home. Even though she knew that some guests had arrived, she didn't show up on purpose.
Hao Yan didn't care.
At this time, we are going to have dinner. Everyone is waiting for old lady Zhuang.
Old Master Zhuang has told his servant to go upstairs, but he hasn't seen anyone come down yet. It's clear that there are people in the family that she doesn't want to see.
There was some awkwardness in the air.
When the old man of Zhuang frowned to ask the servant to urge him again, Zhuang Qintong said thoughtfully, "let me go up and call aunt!"
Old Zhuang nodded and said, his brow extended a little.
Five minutes later, old lady Zhuang's figure came down from the upstairs with the help of Zhuang Qintong.
Old lady Zhuang didn't take a look at Hao Yan. She sat down directly.
She didn't like Hao Yan's attitude. She showed it from the beginning. She was stingy and released a little kindness. Although she was cold, she didn't say much.
Before Hao Yan came, the old man Zhuang told his wife in person in advance to keep her temper.
All the people arrived at Qi, the master of Zhuang said, "OK, dinner is ready!"
Every dish on the table is delicate and delicious, and the taste is particularly good. Except for the old man Zhuang and the couple Zhuang Qingze, the rest of Hao Yan, old lady Zhuang and Qin Tong Zhuang have different ideas.
Especially the last two.
Old Zhuang's blood pressure is on the high side. He hardly drinks alcohol at ordinary times. Today, he broke the rule and poured a small cup.
He raised his glass to Hao Yan and said, "swallow, I will honor you on behalf of the dealer!"
Zhuang Laozi knew that his son and daughter-in-law called him this way. Unconsciously, the address also became friendly.
He said solemnly and seriously, "the dealer owes you a lot. Thank you for ignoring the past and still willing to donate bone marrow to Qingze for surgery. We didn't let the white haired send the black haired, nor let the dealer lose support for this!"
If there is something in case of Zhuang Qing, then the two old people will be hit, and the banker will probably never recover.
Old lady Zhuang didn't think so.
Hao Yan took the cup beside her and replaced the water with tea
She had a light touch with Zhuang Laozi and accepted his thanks.
After the old man put down his glass, he paused and continued, "swallow, I hope you can feel the sincerity of the dealer. Besides that blood relationship, you are also the benefactor of the dealer now. I hope you will be willing to walk around with the dealer in the future! I have ordered the servant to reserve a room for you in the best lighting room on the second floor, and rearrange it! "
This is to show that the banker is willing to show her good will and want to recognize her.
Zhuang Qintong's heart is turbulent.
She lowered her eyes rapidly, and her eyes grew cold.
From the moment when she learned that Hao Yan and Zhuang Qingze had a father daughter relationship, Zhuang Qintong knew that it was a foregone conclusion. Especially after Hao Yan donated bone marrow, the day would come. The only thing she could do was to hold on to old lady Zhuang's card.
Zhuang Qintong didn't say anything, but glanced at the old lady from the corner of his eyes.
Sure enough, old lady Zhuang's face sank, and she could not help but attack again: "what did you say just now? It's not enough to invite her home for dinner, but to leave her a room at home? "
Old Zhuang looked at her displeased, and his eyes warned her to stop. "Didn't you hear what I just said?"
