Chapter 9
The tea drinking place is not far from the beauty club, but there are many cars on the way on weekends, so it took half an hour to drive. Jian Ruixi followed Mr. Fu and found out that Mr. Fu was not discounted. He said that afternoon tea was just a real tea. He brought her to a famous teahouse in old Beijing.
Standing in front of the gate of the antique building, Jian Ruixi didn't have to look up at the plaque, and everyone knew what kind of tea they were about to drink. Although they were a little surprised at first, they thought that Mr. Fu usually had a bit of an old cadre style - he wouldn't be able to read newspapers at home if he was not an old cadre. Jian Ruixi didn't find it strange, and walked into the gate with Mr. Fu's hand.
After entering the teahouse, Jian Ruixi opened his eyes. In 8012, there was such a retro teahouse. The hall ran over to greet "two guests, please invite them." It was noisy at the moment. The lobby was full of classic square tables and wooden chairs, and most of the seats were guests. The guests were drinking tea with melon seeds and drinking tea. What was even more exciting was that on the stage in the middle, they were singing Peking Opera.
Jian Ruixi is not a fan of the vote, but she also thinks it is quite fresh and interesting, so Mr. Fu sat down to the lobby, and she had no objection. The two of them had a pot of hot tea and a few stacks of Chinese pastries to enjoy the performance on the stage.
During the meal, Jian Ruixi also joked that Mr. Fu would enjoy it. He could find such a traditional and down-to-earth teahouse. I think he had spent time here a lot. Mr. Fu smiled and shook his head, stretched out his two fingers, indicating that he was here for the second time.
Jian Ruixi looked disbelief. Seeing that he was familiar with him, he was obviously an old customer. But when he heard Mr. Fu say with a little emotion, "I can only invite her to have tea," Jian Ruixi understood a little - probably the same mentality as her having a hot pot, she certainly knew that when she had dinner with Mr. Fu, she should choose high-end places such as Western restaurants, so that it would be more atmosphere and more in line with their identities.
However, as a hard-earned hot pot enthusiast, Jane Ruixi usually endured it very hard. She finally didn't have to be on camera and could indulge it a little once or twice. She couldn't wait to go to hot pot.
More importantly, hot pot is a sacred food in Jian Ruixi's heart - eating alone is too lonely and it tastes unpleasant. You have to scramble with your friends to be satisfied. But after looking through Mrs. Fu's circle of friends, it is either a noble lady or a famous lady. Who can accompany her to scrub her hot pot regardless of her image?
After thinking about it, only Mr. Fu could barely be Jian Ruixi's friend, because they were quite aligned and could handle each other's topics. I didn't have anything to say when I was eating hot pot. So Jian Ruixi planned to take advantage of her that she was still in Beijing and Mr. Fu had to accompany her to make hot pot several more times.
Mr. Fu should have the same mood when he invited her to have tea. After all, he was so lonely and looked particularly pitiful in such a lively teahouse. If he had an appointment with a colleague or a friend in the business world, his interactions with each other were utilitarian in nature, which was similar to social engagements, so why would he talk about relaxing?
Thinking of this, wealthy families also have their worries.
Jian Ruixi complained without hesitation, but was generally happy. After all, Mr. Fu could think of bringing her to the teahouse for entertainment, which means that he had a good impression of her. It seems that her idea is not wrong. It is better to be a good friend than to be a wealthy couple who appear to show their affection on the surface but actually respect each other.
***
With the preparation of afternoon tea, Jian Ruixi had a great time eating the hot pot in the evening. When the agreement was made in the morning, she was worried that it would be a wrong decision to eat hot pot with Mr. Fu, and that it would make her indigestion. Now she is confident - at most she can be a polite relationship.
After dinner, they were about to go home. Because they didn't bring the bodyguard during the "date" period, Mr. Fu drove the car in person. Of course, Jian Ruixi got into the co-pilot. Seeing that the atmosphere was fine, she took the opportunity to talk about her son.
"When do you usually contact Jayce?" Jane Ruixi said unintentionally. "Last night, I wanted to video the phone call with him, but my mother answered the phone. She said Jayce is still in class - I thought he had already finished school, isn't he very incompetent?"
Of course, it is true that Mrs. Fu is incompetent, but it does not mean that Mrs. Fu has no responsibility. Yesterday, Jian Ruixi really planned to contact her child Jayce, but Mrs. Fu looked around on the phone and refused to tell him a specific time. It was obvious that she didn't want to see her contact the child.
If Mrs. Fu was here, I'm afraid she would be fooled by her mother-in-law again.
Jian Ruixi didn't understand. If Mrs. Fu was really good for the little guy, wouldn't she know that family relationships have a great impact on the child's personality? But she also knew that it was correct for Mrs. Fu not to have a head-on conflict with the wealthy mother-in-law. Her mother's family was only able to radicalize the wealthy people in Hong Kong with the support of the Fu family. She could only accept it with a pinch of her nose.
Fortunately, Mr. Fu has a very positive view. Yesterday, in their topic about children, Jane Ruixi guessed that he was different from his parents. Mrs. Fu and others thought it was enough to provide a good education for their children. Whether a family happiness was not that important, it may be that their definition of happiness was different from that of ordinary people. Mr. Fu himself should still attach more importance to parent-child relationships. She now wants to repair the mother-child relationship with Jayce, which is considered to be following his footsteps. I think he will support him.
Sure enough, after hearing her words, Fu Shiyuan gave her advice without any hiding advice: "He practices piano at about this time every day. You can make an appointment with him between eight and nine o'clock. The hour before going to bed is Jayce's fixed game time."
It’s really not easy to inherit a wealthy family. Jian Ruixi sighed infinitely and asked, “He hasn’t been to elementary school yet, and he has to take so many classes every day?”
Fu Shiyuan bent his lips, his smile a little relieved and proud, "It's all about him."
"I wasn't so easy to learn when I was a child. I just had to live and learn a piano." Jian Ruixi said in a timely manner, "It seems that your genes are better."
Jian Ruixi's only talent before her debut was that she studied piano in the Youth Palace when she was a child. It was coincidental that Mrs. Fu also practiced piano since she was a child, and she was also a major in art in college, majoring in piano. Compared to her, Mr. Fu is more talented. In summary, she is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. However, piano refers to violin and piano, and painting is oil painting. In addition, he is also proficient in three foreign languages in English, French and Japanese. He is simply a magical existence. Jian Ruixi praised it sincerely.
Mr. Fu said modestly: "Jayce is much more sensible than when I was a child."
His own children are always the best. Jane Ruixi nodded in understanding and asked again: "But today on Saturday, he should have free time?"
Fu Shiyuan glanced at the time and said, "When we get home, he should be free."
"Then go back and call him?"
Fu Shiyuan nodded, and Jian Ruixi made a "shortness" arrangement and said: "You call him first, I will appear from behind you and give Jayce a surprise."
Jian Ruixi thought to herself, this is called "there are policies from above and countermeasures from below." The wealthy mother-in-law stared at her like a thief. She must have thought that Mr. Fu would help her secretly cross Chen Cang, right?
Sure enough, after returning home, Fu Shiyuan and Jayce connected to the video, the aunt who was playing with the children stood up and left in great thoughtfulness, and it was obvious that she was creating opportunities for the father and son.
Jian Ruixi went up at the right time. After seeing the cute little face on the screen, she suddenly felt a stir inside. She turned her head and sighed to Mr. Fu with a dreamy look on her face, "My son is so handsome... My genes are so good."
Fu Shiyuan:...
