Chapter 48 048(1/2)
After leaving the Han family's villa, Lin Wanyin called a rickshaw.
The coachman was driving the little woman who was less than two bags of rice while walking slowly by the beautiful lake. Lin Wanyin looked at the direction of Laoliu Lane, and the anger and grievance in her heart slowly turned into fear. The mother-in-law attaches great importance to the friendship between her daughters and Miss Han. If she knew that she had lost her tutoring job, would her mother-in-law scold her?
The face of Mrs. Xu's attack appeared before her eyes. Lin Wanyin clenched the veil tightly. For a moment, she regretted the impulse just now. However, thinking of Han Rong's cold face, he suspected that she and Director Ma's unclear tone, Lin Wanyin's eyes became firm again. High-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen, and ordinary people like her are willing to respect her, but that does not mean that she has to endure the other party's despise.
But, how do you explain to your mother-in-law?
Lin Wanyin lowered her head and thought of a solution.
Xu's house, Mrs. Xu was still very happy today. Yesterday, she learned from her granddaughter that her family had a fate with the Chen family, who was a mountain guest. Old Mrs. Xu's mind changed again. Their mothers are foreign households. If they want to gain a foothold in Hangzhou, they have to make more friends with local celebrities and prominent families. Han Rong is rich and powerful, and when she encounters troubles, she can ask him for help. However, Han Rong's status is too high and she has limited daily movements, but the Chen family can often come and go. As long as they take advantage of the Chen family, the granddaughters will have more opportunities to attend various banquets.
Mrs. Xu is also a very well-known figure in Xiucheng. Now she has changed her place to live. In order for her granddaughters to marry well in the future and to live a more comfortable and decent life, Mrs. Xu’s passion for making friends with noble people is not less enthusiastic than Qingxi’s revitalization of the restaurant. As long as she comes, Mrs. Xu will definitely seize it.
The weather was clear, and Yuxi accompanied Yunxi to play hopscotch in the yard. Old Mrs. Xu sat under the osmanthus tree, put a small stool in front of her, and asked Qingxi to come over, and she combed her granddaughter's hair.
It will be open tomorrow. Today is Qingxi's last day off. While enjoying the gentle care of her grandmother and watching her sisters play, her mood is as bright as the sun.
"Qingxi, grandma knows that you don't like Mingyan, so tell me, what kind of thing do you like?"
As soon as Mrs. Xu spoke, Qingxi suddenly felt a dark cloud floating above her head, expecting that there was something in her grandmother's words.
"I don't like anything, I just like cooking." Qingxi said smartly.
Old Mrs. Xu pointed at her granddaughter and immediately retorted: "If you like cooking, can you live with the food for the rest of your life? If your daughter's family is going to get married sooner or later, even if you like cooking, it will not prevent you from becoming a child. It is best to have more sons, choose a person who likes cooking and change his surname to Xu, and replace you with the restaurant where the Xu family is."
There was no sign in the restaurant, let alone the son? Qingxi's left ear comes in and right ear comes out, and he is absent-minded.
Old Mrs. Xu tilted her head and looked at her granddaughter's white and clean face. She suddenly laughed and leaned into her granddaughter's ear and said, "Grandma was asked to inquire yesterday. Mr. Chen was 19 years old and was not married yet. The Chen family was open-minded and had no family opinion. They did not require their daughter-in-law to stay away from the door. Qingxi, think about it, is there anyone who is more suitable for you than Mr. Chen?"
Because of Gu Mingyan's infatuation with his granddaughter, Mrs. Xu never thought of giving up the Gu family completely, but a more suitable young master of the Chen family who is like-minded with his granddaughter appeared in front of him. Mrs. Xu would not hang himself on a tree stupidly.
When Qingxi heard this, he looked at his grandmother in disbelief. Mr. Chen invited them to the table out of politeness. Before he met, his grandmother actually had the idea of the other party?
"Grandma, it's impossible for me and Mr. Chen. You say another word, you can go later, I won't go anymore." Qingxi said inconveniently, striving to cut off grandma's heart that pulled the red line as soon as possible.
Old Mrs. Xu opened her mouth. When Qingxi saw her, she said angrily before her grandmother could speak, "I won't comb it anymore!" She picked up the small stool and left.
"Come back!" Old Mrs. Xu screamed in anger, Qingxi just pretended that she didn't hear it.
Yuxi next to him looked over in horror, worried that her grandmother would lose her temper, so she was afraid that her grandmother would get angry.
The younger granddaughter is timid, the second granddaughter is just as good as anyone, and the older granddaughter is no longer afraid of her. Old Mrs. Xu rubs her heart, and the more she looks at her, the more she feels that these three granddaughters were sent by God to collect debts from her. She is feeling chest tight, and Lin Wanyin is back at the gate. Old Mrs. Xu is reluctant to vent her anger on her granddaughter, but Mrs. Xu is willing to give up this daughter-in-law who can't give birth to a boy.
"Why are you back?" Sitting under the tree, Old Mrs. Xu said to her daughter-in-law with suspicious eyes.
Lin Wanyin had already thought about it. If her mother-in-law asked, she would say that Han Ying suddenly became interested in the piano and didn't want to learn the guqin anymore. If her mother-in-law was unhappy, she could at most give her some expression. But as soon as she entered the door, she was yelled by her mother-in-law. Lin Wanyin felt relieved and didn't dare to mention it again. She said in a hurry: "Ms. Han just got a bicycle. She planned to ride a bicycle all day, so she won't go to class for now."
"Mom, I want a bicycle too!" Yunxi blinked. Although he didn't know what the bicycle was, he instinctively felt that it was a good thing. He ran over to ask his mother for it, and Yuxi looked at her mother too.
Lin Wanyin was attracted by her daughters and her expression was quite natural.
Old Mrs. Xu had no doubts and snorted to her granddaughters: "Yuxi studied hard. If she could get the top three in the final exam, her grandmother would buy you. Yunxi was still young and couldn't ride a bicycle. You should be obedient at noon today, don't cry or make a fuss at the dinner table, and grandmother bought you a doll in spring."
Yuxi ignited his fighting spirit, and Yunxi was also very happy. She had long wanted a doll.
"I'm going to spend money again." Lin Wanyin said gratefully. As long as the mother-in-law loves her daughters, it's nothing she can suffer a little.
Old Mrs. Xu snorted. Girls need to be flirted with their eyes, so that they can look like a lady from a family and can marry into a wealthy family.
At eleven o'clock, the family of five went out and went to Shanjuke.
Shanjuke is open today. Food lovers who have been holding back in Hangzhou for almost a month rushed to come here. The people in the queue were almost overwhelming. The restaurant specially sent a mate to guard the door to stop people. When will a table be empty and when will new guests be invited to come in?
The first time I saw this situation, let alone Yuxi Yunxi, Old Mrs. Xu was shocked. It was the provincial capital. When her restaurant business was the hottest, it was not as good as that of today's Shanjuke.
Old Mrs. Xu looked at her eldest granddaughter.
Qingxi's noodle restaurant is next to the mountain guests. She is no longer shocked when she sees it too much, but every time she sees it, she envies once, and she is more and more imagining that Xu Qingtang will usher in such a grand occasion in the future.
"Old lady, please, please leave a private room for you on the second floor." The guard at the gate had already received the instructions from the young master, recognized Qingxi, rushed over immediately, and enthusiastically invited the female members of the Xu family to enter.
In the long queue outside the restaurant, there were many celebrities dressed in decent clothes. Feeling the curiosity, envious and even dissatisfied eyes of everyone, Old Mrs. Xu smiled even brighter and took the lead in stepping into the restaurant.
At the beginning of the New Year, Chen Yao wanted to enter and go to various private rooms and was busy, so he invited his eldest sister-in-law, the eldest young lady of the Chen family to accompany him. The eldest young lady looked like she was twenty-seven or eight years old, and brought her daughter Chen Shu and niece Chen Yan over. Chen Shu was ten years old, and Chen Yan was just five years old, and she was about the same size as Yunxi.
"I seem to have seen you. Are you from Class 3 of Nanhu Girls' Middle School?" Yuxi looked at Chen Shu and asked uncertainly.
Chen Shu said in surprise: "Yes, where are you?"
Two girls of the same age are actually alumni. Yuxi is lively, Chen Shu is a little quieter, and she becomes friends as she chats.
This is what Mrs. Xu is looking forward to.
When the eldest young lady saw him, she smiled and invited the three sisters of Qingxi to visit her home when they were free. The Chen family was in full swing, and the master gave birth to five children, four of whom were sons and only one young lady. When the grandchildren finally found two girls. The eldest young lady welcomed girls of similar age to visit her home.
"Old lady, aunt is here, Chen Yao is in a hurry to welcome him. I hope the old lady will forgive me."
Halfway through the banquet, Chen Yao finally took the time to come and salute to Mrs. Xu and Lin Wanyin in a gentle manner. On a festive day, Chen Yao wore a crimson long gown, which made the young man look like a beautiful jade and a handsome man. Old Mrs. Xu was stunned and Lin Wanyin also secretly praised Mrs. Good-looking in his heart.
Qingxi coughed softly.
Old Mrs. Xu was the first to come back to her senses and praised generously: "Look, the fifth young master is so beautiful. I, the old woman, was stunned."
Chen Yaojun's face turned slightly red and he hurriedly said "foreign award".
After the greetings, everyone sat down.
Qingxi is the quietest among the three sisters. Unless someone asks, she eats quietly most of the time. In fact, she and Chen Yao are traveling with each other. If she didn't have what grandmother said, when Chen Yao talked about the cuisine culture and restaurant management, Qingxi wanted to watch him talk or chat, but in order to avoid her grandmother's random thoughts, Qingxi held it in a hurry.
Chen Yao noticed the strangeness of Qingxi, because Qingxi came to visit the restaurant yesterday, and Xiaozui almost never stopped and talked about a lot of restaurant affairs.
As for the reason, Chen Yao looked at the dishes on the table and asked with a smile: "Miss, are these dishes still suitable for your appetite?"
Qingxi put down his chopsticks and said sincerely: "The No. 1 Restaurant in Hangzhou is well-deserved."
Chen Yao said modestly: "It's just a false reputation, just like the young lady."
Qingxi smiled, and when she turned her eyes, she saw her grandmother smiling at her meaningfully.
Qingxi:...
After a meal, Qingxi ate like a needle and needle, for fear that Chen Yao would talk to her again, which would deepen his grandmother's misunderstanding.
After the mat was dispersed, Qingxi entered his room and slept behind closed doors.
Old Mrs. Xu came to talk to her granddaughter and turned her back on her meal.
After the nap, Qingxi led three helpers to visit the vegetable market.
Old Mrs. Xu stayed in the backyard, Yuxi was concentrating on doing homework, and Lin Wanyin enlightened the four-year-old Yunxi.
Han Ying suddenly visited.
Lin Wanyin was shocked and begged the little girl not to mention her resignation while her mother-in-law hadn't come yet.
"The teacher promised me that you will follow me home later and continue to teach me how to practice the piano."
Lin Wanyin frowned, thinking about how to refuse, when Old Mrs. Xu came to hear the news.
"If the teacher doesn't agree to me, I'll tell the old lady." Although Han Ying didn't understand why the teacher asked her to hide it, the banker's daughter was a little shrewd without any deliberate learning, and she could understand it by hearing and seeing.
Lin Wanyin had no choice but to agree first and deal with her mother-in-law's level. Later, she would reason with Han Ying on her way to the Han family.
The teacher and student colluded, and Han Ying pretended to be tired of playing with the bicycle and wanted to learn the piano in the afternoon.
Old Mrs. Xu happily released the person.
Lin Wanyin got into the Han family's car.
She whispered to Han Ying that she could not teach again. Of course, she did not mention Han Rong's rude and arrogance, and only said that she had no time.
Han Ying didn't believe a word and hummed, "No need to say anything about the teacher, it's all my father's fault. Let him apologize to you later."
Lin Wanyin was stunned.
The car suddenly stopped. Lin Wanyin looked up and saw a man in a straight suit standing up from a bench by the quiet Nanhu Lake. It was Han Rong.
"Hehe." Han Ying smiled and pushed open the car door, taking the initiative to sit next to the driver.
Lin Wanyin still didn't react until Han Rong pulled the big car door up, and Lin Wanyin's face turned pale and she was about to go down immediately.
"Don't move."
The man's short but cold command came from his ears, and Lin Wanyin froze there uncontrollably.
"Yingying, please sit with the teacher." Han Rong didn't get in the car, so he went over to carry his daughter down, and then he drove the driver away and snatched the driver's seat.
The car started again, and Han Rong glanced at the beautiful woman in the back seat through the rearview mirror. He pursed his lips and whispered: "I was wrong in the morning and offended Teacher Lin. I am sorry. I hope that Teacher Lin will continue to teach her the guqin because Yingying likes you. I also promise that I will not say a word to you from tomorrow..."
Speaking of this, Han Rong paused.
Han Ying coughed in dissatisfaction.
Han Rong had no choice but to continue, "I promise not to talk to Teacher Lin, and I will not make Teacher Lin angry anymore."
Han Ying was finally satisfied and hugged Lin Wanyin's arm and acted coquettishly: "Teacher, my father knows that he is wrong. Can you come back?"
How could Lin Wanyin not hear it? Han Rong apologized because he was forced by his daughter?
The employer was biased against her. Lin Wanyin really didn't want to make his money anymore. She looked at Han Ying apologetically and said, "I..."
Seeing that the situation was wrong, Han Ying stopped listening, so she threw herself into Lin Wanyin's arms and cried: "Teacher, I don't have a mother. Do you have the heart to call me alone? My father is a bad guy. The teacher hates him, and because he doesn't like me anymore, then I hate him too. Teacher, please take me to your house, I will be obedient."
Han Rong thrust hard.
