Get Married - Chap 35
In Xin Rong’s concept of time, one year is too short to be enough, every page of the calendar is turned, it means that he spends less time with Shao Chengyun by one day. He is a person who is slowly breaking up, and even his efforts have a sense of stubborn resistance.
But in Shao Chengyun’s concept of time, one year is still long, so he can deal with it calmly. Anyway, Xin Rong liked him, perhaps more than he liked, and Shao Chengyun was the leader of this relationship. He could spare some energy to think about this matter during his work breaks, while exercising, or in the ten minutes before falling asleep with Xin Rong in his arms. There was also a condescension to his thinking.
Before Xin Rong was about to start the correspondence course, Shao Chengyun took him back to the Shao family mansion.
It was Christmas Eve that day, many relatives and friends came to Shao’s house, it was very lively. The housewife, Lin Ying, is a new-style person. She always wants to celebrate this kind of Western festival, and it will be very grand. In the living room on the first floor, there is also a three-meter-high Christmas tree, with various gifts piled up under the tree, which looks very Christmas atmosphere.
Xin Rong didn’t know whether it was a secret among the relatives and friends of Shao’s family whether it was a marriage agreement or not. In short, he followed Shao Chengyun in a rather nervous mood, but everyone looked at him quite normally.
A bit of curiosity and inquiry, but not to the point of being offensive. Not many people took the initiative to greet Xin Rong, but as long as someone came up to greet Shao Chengyun, they would always greet Xin Rong politely.
In comparison, Lin Ying treated Xin Rong much warmer, perhaps because Xin Rong shouldered the mission of helping Shao Chengyun survive. For Lin Ying, who is a mother, the meaning is naturally different.
Lin Ying had had many phone calls with Aunt Hui before, and Aunt Hui even secretly took a small video of Xin Rong and sent it to her.
It’s just that Aunt Hui is almost fifty years old after all, and she doesn’t pay attention to the angle or composition of the video, and the camera shakes, so when Lin Ying saw Xin Rong herself for the first time, she was very surprised. She thought that Xin Rong should be a boy with a handsome appearance and a cautious temperament, but he was not.
Xin Rong entered Shao’s house together with Shao Chengyun. When he entered, Shao Chengyun still had a very stern face, which was his usual expression. Compared with his elder brother Shao Zhonglin, he is the one who is more difficult to get close to. Although Xin Rong’s expression was slightly nervous, the faint smile on his face made people feel good about him. It seemed that his presence also buffered some of Shao Chengyun’s feeling of indifference.
Xin Rong has an outstanding appearance, and she has a youthful but not frivolous temperament on her body. Lin Ying knew countless people, and the moment she saw him, her heart was a little shaken, and she thought of a word, “destined”.
I can’t say why, maybe it’s my mother’s intuition.
These years Shao Chengyun spent a long time in the overseas branch, Lin Ying couldn’t call him back, and knew that he was holding back a lot of energy and wanted to prove many things. So whenever Shao Chengyun came back to visit his parents during the holidays, Lin Ying felt a little helpless, not knowing where the cute and well-behaved little son had gone, and why he had become an adult who was no longer close to him.
However, when Shao Chengyun and Xin Rong appeared together, Lin Ying felt that Shao Chengyun was different from before, especially when he turned his head to listen to Xin Rong, Lin Ying could feel a warm atmosphere between them. She suddenly remembered a sentence that Aunt Hui said on the phone: “The young master has the final say most of the time, and Xin Rong is in charge of him, and Xin Rong also listens to him. But occasionally Xin Rong can control the young master, and I think the young master seems to be a little bit I don’t care if Xin Rong is happy.”
Aunt Hui doesn’t read much, and her way of describing things is very simple, and the words she uses such as “control” and “happy” are too one-sided. But Lin Ying still understood what she meant, just after she saw Shao Chengyun and Xin Rong get along.
The people who came to this family banquet were all people who knew each other well, and most of them were related by blood. In fact, Shao Chengyun’s father, Shao Rui, belonged to three brothers in his generation. They also competed fiercely for the family business accumulated by Shao Chengyun’s grandfather, and the three brothers broke off contact for a time. However, times have changed. The Shao family brothers who were full of ambition back then are now approaching the age of retirement, and their respective family businesses have grown bigger and stronger. The relationship is slowly being repaired, and the several families have moved more and more.
During the banquet, Shao Chengyun took good care of Xin Rong. He blocked the wine for him, asked him what to eat, and answered some private questions for him, such as his parents and family, without embarrassing Xin Rong.
At the same time, Xin Rong also showed good adaptability. He regarded himself as a friend brought home by Shao Chengyun, and talked naturally with the people around him. He didn’t interrupt on topics he didn’t understand. respond.
Apart from Lin Ying who took good care of him, Shao Zhonglin’s wife, Zhao Lingyan, was also very kind to him. She recommended to him what dishes were delicious that night, let him try them, and asked his two children to call him brother, which once made Shao Chengyun very upset. Speechless, she said to her sister-in-law Zhao Lingyan, “The two young ones call me uncle, but brother Xin Rong? The generations are all messed up.” Xin Rong couldn’t help laughing as he
sat by, and then there was no one around, so Xin Rong moved closer Some joked with Shao Chengyun and asked him, “Do you have age anxiety? Do you think you are too old than me?”
In the end, Shao Chengyun rubbed his head and messed up the hairstyle he made before going out.
At the party that night, several things happened that impressed Xin Rong deeply.
One is that halfway through the banquet, a middle-aged man who seemed to be Shao Chengyun’s cousin came over and offered Shao Chengyun a cigarette, but Shao Chengyun didn’t answer it. At that time, Xin Rong was standing beside him, thinking that she should avoid it for a while and let them talk about serious matters. Just when Xin Rong was about to find an excuse to leave, Shao Chengyun secretly grabbed his wrist. Although he didn’t speak, Xin Rong knew that Shao Chengyun wanted him to stay here.
Because this cousin failed to tell Xin Rong, an outsider, about asking Shao Chengyun for help in financing, he became a little angry and said another sentence, “Aunt Lin finally found you a talisman. You should be able to sit back and relax with me.” Even if Xin Rong didn’t know Shao Chengyun’s knots accumulated over the years because of his birthday horoscope, he could still realize that this sentence was very unfriendly.
But Shao Chengyun’s complexion didn’t change at all. He looked at his incompetent cousin and said, “That’s right, so there’s no need to accumulate virtue. You can buy whoever you want.” Xin Rong promised that she never wanted to laugh at that time, but Shao Chengyun’s
face Saying such arrogant words without expression, let him break his defense in one go.
He choked on the fruit juice, turned his head and covered his mouth and coughed, Shao Chengyun patted his back for him. When Xin Rong stopped coughing and looked up, that cousin had already gone away.
Xin Rong gave Shao Chengyun a thumbs up, and whispered to him in a voice that could not be heard by the people around him, “Good job.” Then she smiled cheerfully.
In fact, Shao Chengyun’s eyes at that time were a bit complicated, and when Xin Rong thought about it later, he realized that there were many things in it, but he didn’t realize it at the time.
Because of this kind of hindsight, he asked Shao Chengyun a very inappropriate question in the car on the return journey, “Why is your eldest brother called “Zhong Lin”, shouldn’t Zhong be the name of the second child in the family?” Shao Chengyun was present at the meeting
. I drank a lot of wine during this time, and at this time I sat on the leather chair, looked at Xin Rong quite calmly, and said to him, “My elder brother died. 25 years ago, Shao Zhonglin was originally my second elder brother.” In fact, Shao Chengyun
himself He didn’t expect that he would mention this incident to Xin Rong so easily, although it was only a few words.
In these years, no one asked Shao Chengyun this question anymore, and even the parents rarely mentioned the deceased eldest son Shao Yichen.
Shao Chengyun felt that he was gradually reconciling with this matter. However, Xin Rong seems to have the ability to always step on the spot where Shao Chengyun hides the deepest.
Let him hurt and wake him up.
Xin Rong immediately knew that he had asked the wrong question, and said “I’m sorry” with an apologetic look.
Shao Chengyun shook his head slightly, patted his hand, and said, “It’s been many years in the past, you just need to ask the Shao family, they all know.” Shao Yichen had just turned eighteen when he died, and he was driving a new sports car , took his younger brother Shao Chengyun, who was only eight years old at the time, out for a drive. Shao Yichen died in a car accident while driving at high speed, but Shao Chengyun fell into the curse of “hard life, restraining his family”. Because Shao Chengyun, who was sitting in the back row, survived with only minor injuries.
There are more things involved behind this, especially affecting the fierce competition for the Shaw family business at that time. Shao Chengyun wouldn’t mention that to Xin Rong, and as Xin Rong, naturally he didn’t dare to ask any more.
Although the family reunion lasted only a few hours that day, it seemed to have laid the groundwork for some things that happened later. But in Xin Rong’s intuitive feelings, he was most impressed by the girl named Chu Yu that night.
Therefore, after half a month, when he saw Chu Yu again in Haoli due to a guest room dispute, he was not surprised at all.
He thought that this girl would definitely make trouble for him. Because she looked at Shao Chengyun so hot that night, she must have liked Shao Chengyun for a long time.
Xin Rong is the biggest stumbling block in her courtship, and she will definitely take action against Xin Rong.
