Chapter 96
Shen Tian smiled slightly, looking embarrassed, but her heart was floating, and the unhappiness that had just been ignited in her heart dissipated a little.
Wenqing has stood up from her seat out of courtesy. Her seniority is different from the two of them. They are elders. There is no need to stand up to greet the juniors when they come.
But she needed it. She was a junior. While the two were joking, she stood up from the stone chair holding her hands in front of her belly, winding and enchanting. It was obviously just a very simple movement, but it revealed a different temperament.
She stepped out of the columned stone chair and turned around. Shen Tian, who was walking down the steps in front of the courtyard, lowered his head and smiled, not knowing.
"You...why are you here?!" Shen Tian flipped her hair and wanted to return humbly, but when she saw Wen Qing, her face was full of shock and disbelief.
The woman wearing a cheongsam turned out to be the woman I saw in the office yesterday. Brother Xu Du even attacked his own woman because of her!
How could she be here? She was shocked with sharp eyes. Thinking of being beaten and humiliated yesterday, the gentleness she had always maintained and pretended was gone.
"You two know each other?" The old lady on the side saw the clue. She looked at it with a bit of displeasure. Because of her words, she subconsciously trembled with warmth in her body, thinking she was scared.
After the old lady's words came out, Shen Tian realized that her appearance was ugly. She quickly restrained herself, took a deep breath, and then apologized again and explained, "I'm sorry, Grandpa Zhou, Grandma Xu, I just lost my temper."
"I saw this lady in brother Xu Du's office yesterday, so I was a little shocked and lost my temper." Shen Tian is indeed the eldest lady of a wealthy family. She is so flexible and flexible, and her appearance changes as if she changes her face. She is really amazing.
The old lady nodded, and then waved to Wenqing, with a warm and frightened look on her face. Seeing the old lady's waving, she obediently took a step in front of her.
The old lady waited for her to come closer, stretched out her palm towards her, and motioned her to give her hand to her with kind and loving eyes.
Mr. Zhou leisurely picked up the tea and drank it. He was not surprised by the old lady's behavior at all. The sharp and harsh words just now were really unpleasant. Even if he apologized, he might not be sincere. of.
Those words seemed to be an explanation, but in fact they were telling them that this woman was in Xu Du's office yesterday and appeared here like this. What was the reason? She secretly reminded them.
Mr. Zhou has always had this temperament, and he will not maintain his perfunctory appearance when he is not happy. What's more, he only knows that she is the granddaughter of Old Shen and has no feelings for her.
On the contrary, his warmth endears him more. He has a beautiful face, elegant temperament, and is serious and sincere towards people and things. He makes people feel comfortable when he talks and gets along with her even more.
In this comparison, he was more inclined to the warmth that made him feel happy and loved. He felt distressed when he saw her physical reaction just now.
She raised her eyes tenderly and looked at the gentle and kind face of the old lady, as well as the friendly and loving hand that was shaking slightly. She bit her lip gently and put her hand on her palm.
Immediately, he was held by the old lady and dragged to his side. He raised his eyes to look at Shen Tian who had a shocked expression and said.
"Xixi, this is grandma's old friend's granddaughter Shen Tian. She is three or four years older than you and has just returned from abroad."
"Girl Shen, this is my Adu's daughter-in-law, warmth."
Who is the host and who is the guest is explained one by one.
"Daughter-in-law?" Shen Tian's face didn't even pretend to smile at this moment. "Brother Xu Du, isn't he single?"
Although she was not in the country, news about her was never late. The sisters around her kept telling her how unsexy he was, how reserved and aloof he was, and how he was not easy to get close to.
She stayed abroad for so many years with peace of mind. It was because she knew he was like this that she returned home with her own original brand and surprised him.
But... before she gave him the surprise, he had already given her a fatal fright. No, absolutely not, how could he do this to her.
Wenqing didn't expect that the old lady would introduce her like this and prefer her so much. She looked at the shaky things in front of her and couldn't believe what she heard about Shen Tian, and suddenly she couldn't bear it.
But she couldn't help but defend that he belonged to her. She really didn't like it when she called her brother. She didn't understand love, but she could feel Shen Tian's admiration for Xu Du.
Knowing this, she felt the emotions in her heart more clearly, so she withdrew her gaze and stayed obediently in front of the old lady.
"It's normal for A'Du to have a girlfriend at your age. Girl Shen, I wonder if it's strange that you just returned to China." Mr. Zhou finished his cup of tea and put it down. He smiled at him and said, "Did you also bring back a handsome young man from abroad?" Alright"
"That's right, thanks to Xixi for not hating her, otherwise she would have been worried about me as an old woman." She clapped her warm hands with a smile, her eyes full of love.
He turned around and echoed the second half of Mr. Zhou's words, "Grandpa Zhou is right. If you bring a handsome young man back, remember to bring him to Grandma Xu to see."
The words of the two people not only failed to comfort Shen Tian's hurt heart, but also did not ease the awkwardness of the atmosphere. Her face became more and more sinister and innocent, but she did not lose her temper enough to interrupt the two of them.
She adjusted in her mind for a while before replying with a smile, "I am behind on the news. Grandma Xu can relax now. Brother Xu Du has found such a beautiful girlfriend."
"I don't have a boyfriend yet, and I am currently focusing on my career." This was said in a coquettish and generous manner, with a hint of arrogance. "I wonder if Miss Wenqing is currently in school or working?"
Suddenly cued by the warmth, she raised her eyes and looked at her. She was favored by the old lady and Mr. Zhou. She became a lot braver and responded softly but firmly, "Currently in the internship."
Ha! It turns out she is a little girl who has not graduated!
This look is what charmed Brother Xu Du and Grandma Xu with her foxy face. Now even this old man Zhou is helping her, he is really a vixen!
But for the woman who relies on her face, sooner or later Brother Xu Du and Grandma Xu will see her true face clearly.
She won't admit defeat, she still has a chance!
"Are you interning at Brother Xu Du's company?" Shen Tian has already found a firm reason for herself and no longer takes warmth in her eyes.
"Yeah." Nodding gently.
Although the old lady was not happy, she still gave Mr. Shen face and said to her, "Sit down and talk."
"Okay, thank you, Grandma Xu." Shen Tian wanted to sarcastically say a few words of warmth, but the old lady interrupted her. She also knew that it would be nice to meet her, so she gracefully walked up the steps on her high heels and stood beside her gracefully. Sit down on the empty pile.
Sister-in-law Yuan on the side, at the gesture from the old lady's eyes, came over to give her some tea. Four people were seated at the stone table, and there were tea sets and a chessboard for cooking noodles.
Shen Tian sneered in her heart, she was really good at pleasing people, she probably just served tea and poured water beside her, and couldn't tell the chess pieces clearly.
"Are Grandma Xu and Grandpa Zhou playing chess? I know a little bit about it, how about I play a game with you?" Shen Tian looked at the chessboard, looking natural, but full of pride, how could she say Have to be humble.
The old lady took Wenqing's hand and motioned her to sit down. Wenqing let her hold her hand and sit back down.
What Mr. Zhou dislikes the most is this kind of apparent harmony, but in fact armed with guns and sticks, provocative and troublesome, the speaker is happy but the listener is disgusted.
He couldn't help but frown. He was getting older and older. He was just getting older and not wiser. He snorted softly in his heart, but his tone was leisurely and nothing could be heard.
"That's all, I've had enough fun."
"Playing chess sometimes depends on the mood and the person."
"You think so, old lady?"
Mr. Zhou carried the words in a few words and asked the old lady to finish.
The old lady didn't mind. She remained calm and calmly replied, "That's the reason."
"I'm getting older and can't keep up with the thinking of today's young people."
"It's rare that my family doesn't dislike Xixi and let me endure it twice."
As the old lady spoke, she took hold of the tender hand and put it on the table and patted it. The joy and kindness that filled her eyes were all her own.
"Grandma." Even the stupidest Wen Qing knows what Shen Tian said just now. This will gain her grandma's unconditional trust and preference. She is so moved that she doesn't know how to express it.
Mr. Zhou raised his head and looked at the blazing sun hanging high in the sky. He looked back for a while and said, "It's almost noon, I should go back."
Shen Tian was embarrassed, but she still had to maintain her outward elegance and smile. Her hands hidden under the table, which no one could see, had already grabbed her skirt again and again, which showed how much she hated it.
Even if Old Man Zhou helped that foxy girl, even Grandma Xu defended her from beginning to end and never gave her even a cent.
Isn't she grandpa's best friend? She obviously loved him very much when she was a child, so why is she like this now?
When her grandfather recovered from illness, she held a banquet, and she specially asked Brother Xu Du to bring treasures to her grandfather. Now that she came to visit in person, she was always defending a woman of unknown origin, or explaining that she was her grandson-in-law. How could she be like this?
"Grandma Xu..." Shen Tian just shouted.
"Little girl, Grandpa Zhou has a collection of white marble chessboards at home. Come and play with me next time you come home." Mr. Zhou looked at the warmth beside him and invited him with loving eyes.
The way he came close and covered his side with his hands while whispering was a bit like a child, showing off his good stuff and sharing his good stuff with his good friends.
But the space is only so big, and everyone is sitting together, so there is no way they can miss his words. No matter how quiet they are, they can still hear him clearly.
Shen Tian, who had just called out Grandma Xu and wanted to pretend to be aggrieved to gain attention, heard Mr. Zhou's words and her face instantly stiffened.
When she invited her to play chess with him, he not only said that it depends on the person's mood, but he was also openly and secretly inviting that foxy girl with unknown origins to play chess with him.
This damn old man!
"Okay." Wenqing responded obediently, and then invited gently and expectantly, "Grandpa Zhou, please stay and have lunch together."
"You old man, don't think that just because you have a white marble chessboard, you want to abduct my obedient daughter-in-law back home. I'm still here." The old lady said to Mr. Zhou, for fear that her obedient grandson-in-law would be abducted. His appearance makes people feel funny.
"You old lady, why don't you come with me when the time comes? You're still afraid that I'll abduct you and go home without returning you."
"I do think I'm afraid that boy A'Du will come to settle a score with me."
Old man Zhou said with an angry smile.
"Look at you, Sima Zhao's heart," the old lady said, nodding at him.
