Chapter 1024,
Perhaps sensing his thoughts, Mi Jian lowered his head and thought for a long time, and finally picked up the boiled water.
Du Shuangling glanced at Mi Jian, and immediately said to Zhang Xuan with a smile: "After drinking this drink with us, you can go find Sister Tao and let the three of us have a good chat."
Zhang Xuan nodded, picked up the wine glass, clinked it with the two actors, and drank it all in one gulp.
Then he poured another glass of wine, first clinked it with Mi Jian's glass, and then looked at Wen Hui.
Seeing this, Wen Hui, who had looked calm just now, smiled knowingly and also picked up the cup filled with boiled water.
The three of them said nothing and drank wine and boiled water while making eye contact.
Putting down the cup, Zhang Xuan said, "I'm right next door, call me if you need anything."
Mi Jian then ordered: "Go ahead, don't drink too much."
After receiving Mi Jian's invisible promise, the old man felt completely relieved, and immediately went back to the next door without any further hesitation.
Seeing him come back, Tao Ge, who was drinking alone, couldn't help but ask: "Is it broken? Or is it done?"
Zhang Xuan took the cup in her hand: "You are so smart, guess what."
Tao Ge stared at his expression and recognized it, then asked tentatively: "Wen Hui shows off his cards?"
Zhang Xuan said truthfully: "It's the same as what you thought."
Tao Ge asked again: "Then how did you make the decision?"
Zhang Xuan shook his head: "I haven't made a decision."
Tao Ge laughed at him: "Ha! You are too comfortable as a man."
Zhang Xuan didn't pay attention and said slowly: "It's my fault in itself. Whether it's the three of them, you, Seagate, Lilith or Dong Ziyu, any one of them is worthy of me. What else do I have?" Not satisfied?
In this matter, I only set a basic framework for them. As long as they do not exceed the framework, I will give them enough freedom. It is best for them to fill in the content of the framework themselves, which will reduce a lot of friction in the future. "
Taking into account the unique personalities of the three women, Tao Ge agreed with this and then asked: "Shuang Ling, Mi Jian and Wen Hui, who can tell you the truth? Who do you trust the most?"
Zhang Xuan said: "I trust them all."
Tao Ge asked another question: "Have you ever beaten Shuangling?"
Zhang Xuan said: "Yes."
Tao Ge asked again: "Where is Wenhui?"
Zhang Xuan said: "More than once."
Hearing this, Tao Ge sighed: "Just like my sister, you still trust Mi Jian the most."
Zhang Xuan nodded and shook his head: "That's not entirely the case. It's just that Mi Jian makes me feel at ease the most in this kind of matter."
Tao Ge was curious: "What method did you use? Tell me."
Zhang Xuan did not hide anything and explained the strategy of retreating into advancement.
Tao Ge smiled while stroking his hands after hearing this: "As expected of a scumbag, he has reached the level of scumbag. This is the best way to deal with it so far.
If the status and relationship between the three of them are made clear, they will fall into the inferior category. This will definitely create a gap in one of them.
If you don't do anything, the couple will probably be disappointed, and the sister will despise you, so your specious approach is the safest. The three of them will have the most room for free advancement and retreat, and they will be the most complete. "
Zhang Xuan automatically filtered the first half of her sentence: "I only give them one chance to try and make mistakes. If it doesn't work, I can only intervene forcefully."
Hearing this, Tao Ge stopped asking and filled up the wine for him, "It's just the two of us, so don't drink half-full. Let's drink to our heart's content."
Zhang Xuan agreed: "Okay, it's best if I get drunk. If they break up later, I can take advantage of my drunkenness to forcefully divide the cake between them."
Tao Ge gave a thumbs up: "Your courage is commendable!"
Zhang Xuan rolled his eyes: "I believe you won't care whether I live or die."
Tao Ge giggled when she heard this: "Sisters are both white, who knew?"
Zhang Xuan said shamelessly: "Then you can't ignore me anymore. At least you have to wait until our souls and bodies are combined before you can be cruel."
Tao Ge drank wine, took off his high-heeled sandal, stretched out his left leg under the table, rubbed his thigh gently, and asked, "Do you remember the Aegean Sea?"
The old man couldn't bear it, so he put his legs together and clamped her legs: "Remember."
After the questions and answers, the two rarely spoke anymore. While drinking, they paid close attention to the movements next door.
Half an hour later, Zhang Xuan said, "I'll go take a look."
Unexpectedly, Tao Ge stopped him: "Sister, go ahead. If you don't come back in 5 minutes, come over."
In the past, he would have pretended to be dead and agreed, but today he neither dared nor could, "This is my own fault, I will go to it myself."
Tao Ge looked at him with a meaningful smile and then stood up: "Then sister will go with you too, so that I can help you smooth things over."
Zhang Xuan said seriously: "Thank you."
Tao Ge reached out and held his face, gave him a sudden long kiss, and then said: "Remember, this is what you owe me. If you can't pay it back in this life, you can pay it back in the next life."
When the two came to the next door, the scene was not as stiff as expected.
Tao Ge sat down next to Mi Jian and asked, "How is the food here? Is it to your liking?"
Mi Jianxiao glanced at Du Shuangling and didn't rush to talk.
Du Shuangling looked sideways at her man and replied with a smile: "It's good. We thought we couldn't eat authentic Chinese food in Berlin, but we didn't expect that the dishes here are unexpectedly good. Sister Tao, you have a good taste."
Tao Ge smiled and asked Du Shuangling: "I saw you guys were having a good chat just now. What are you talking about? Are you chatting so happily?"
Du Shuangling replied: "Huihui and I were talking about some things at the piano store."
Tao Ge followed the topic and looked at Wenhui: "How is the piano store's business in Shanghai? Did it make a profit last year?"
Wen Hui said calmly: "It's not bad. The two actors and I each share a dividend of 50,000."
Tao Ge was a little surprised: "Just a dividend? How long has the music store been open? It's only been open for 2 years. The business is so good, why don't you use the dividends for expansion?"
Wen Hui thought about the words: "As I mentioned just now, Yuan Mei plans to accelerate the expansion of the piano store with the purpose of creating our own piano store brand. In order to give the piano store a good operating atmosphere, Yuan Mei made a suggestion that we need to hold a meeting every year A shareholders’ meeting, face-to-face communication. I also hope that Mi Jian can also buy a share.”
Hearing this, Tao Ge winked at Zhang Xuan meaningfully and stopped smartly.
Zhang Xuan was not stupid. He took over the conversation and asked Du Shuangling: "This is a good thing, what do you think?"
Du Shuangling did not express his position directly, but said tactfully: "I believe in your vision."
Zhang Xuan asked Mi Jian: "Do you want to buy a share?"
Mi Jian shook his head: "I'll forget it. I don't have much time to help Liu Xin's cake shop, so I won't get involved in the piano shop."
Mi Jian's failure to come was not a surprise to him, and it was consistent with the relationship between Shuang Ling and Wen Hui, so the matter came to an end.
The next five people seemed to have forgotten about today's interview. The two private rooms were merged into one table, and they ate and drank for another half an hour before leaving.
When he checked out and left the hotel, Zhang Xuan reached out and grabbed the two actors' hands, squeezed them, and said nothing.
Du Shuangling looked at him with bright eyes, but said nothing.
These two hours were like a year for Zhou Rong, and he wanted to go to the restaurant several times to find out what was going on.
Wen Yu noticed her sister-in-law's anxiety and chatted with Zhou Rong using the five core words of "young, talented, rich, famous and career":
"Any man who possesses these five labels at the same time will inevitably make women flock to him. Although Huihui is very good, after all, he is still at the age when he is in love, so it is inevitable that he will not be tempted when meeting him."
Zhou Rong sighed and said, "I can understand what you said. I'm just worried that Huihui will follow him without knowing it."
Without waiting for his sister-in-law to speak, Zhou Rong continued: "You are also from the Wen family. If Huihui gives birth to a child out of wedlock in the future, the reputation of the Wen family will definitely be seriously damaged."
Wen Yukai explained: "Sister-in-law, you are thinking too far. Huihui is only 23, why are you thinking about having a child?"
Zhou Rong suddenly said: "Mi Jian is pregnant."
Wen Yu looked at her doubtfully.
Zhou Rong explained: "The doctor Tao Ge brought here is from Union Medical College Hospital. The deputy director of this hospital is a friend of mine. I inquired and found out that this doctor is an expert in obstetrics and gynecology and has very rich clinical experience."
Wen Yu said: "So you are worried that Hui Hui will take this step?"
Zhou Rong nodded and shook his head: "You also know the old man's condition thoroughly. Now we are taking it day by day. We must be prepared at any time."
At this point, Wen Yu completely understood what her sister-in-law was worried about. She was simply worried that Huihui would make a dangerous move before the old man left.
After pondering for a long time, Wen Yu raised her head and asked, "What if Huihui insists on doing this? Sister-in-law, what will you do?"
After hearing this, Zhou Rong fell into rare silence.
When the group of people returned to the villa, time passed quietly at 8 o'clock.
Realizing that Mi Jian's face was a little pale, Zhang Xuan supported her and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Mi Jian said: "Maybe it's because I didn't take a nap. I'm a little tired and my stomach seems to be sinking."
Tao Ge quickly came to her left and helped her go upstairs: "Go back to the bedroom and let the doctor check her."
Zhang Xuan and Mi Jian didn't dare to be careless and went back to the bedroom on the second floor.
After checking for a while, the doctor said: "It's nothing serious. This is caused by lack of rest and high mental stress. However, her physical fitness is expected to be improved. She should exercise appropriately, pay attention to balanced nutrition, and try to maintain a good mood."
After saying that, the doctor walked away wisely.
Tao Ge, Du Shuangling and Wen Hui also followed.
Zhang Xuan and Mi Jian were the only two people left in the room at this time. They looked at each other for a while, and he asked: "Are you under a lot of mental pressure?"
Mi Jian looked at him with a faint smile.
Zhang Xuan asked: "Because he is the first child of our old Zhang family?"
"Um."
Mi hummed, "I know you've been looking forward to his birth."
Zhang Xuan took off his shoes and climbed into bed: "Stop talking, I'll sleep with you for a while."
Mi Jian looked at him, closed his eyes and said yes.
the other side.
After watching his daughter come back and waiting for her to wash up, Zhou Rong wanted to talk to her several times, but in the end he hesitated and stopped.
Wen Hui noticed something was wrong with her mother, thought for a moment and asked, "Mom, do you have a problem with me?"
Zhou Rong changed his words as he spoke: "It's okay, I just want to ask what is better for dinner tonight? You are familiar with your classmates and know their preferences."
Wen Hui, who heard that her mother's words were not sincere and felt that the time and place were wrong, did not expose it. Instead, she said: "I just came back from eating. I won't have supper tonight. I have to catch a flight tomorrow morning, so you should go to bed early."
Zhou Rong said "Hey" but stood still.
Mother and daughter looked at each other for a moment. Just when Wen Hui was about to speak again, Wen Yu suddenly came down from the third floor, walked up to Wen Hui and said, "Hui Hui, are you busy? I have something to do with you."
Wen Hui glanced at Zhou Rong, turned around and replied, "I'm not busy."
Wen Yu walked upstairs: "Then follow me."
Wen Hui followed.
When the two returned to the third floor, Wen Hui found that her sister-in-law Wen Yu was also there.
Wen Yu asked: "Your mother didn't make things difficult for you, right?"
Wen Hui shook her head.
Wen Yu asked: "What do you think about the matter between you and Zhang Xuan?"
Wen Hui knew this would be the question, and hesitated for a while before saying, "I don't know either."
Wen Yu was surprised: "You don't know it yourself?"
Wen Hui was quiet and silent.
Wen Yu couldn't help gesticulating with her fingers: "Have you never thought about marrying Zhang Xuan?"
At this time, Wen Hui was not as aggressive as Wen Hui was during the interview, and she did not have such a strong desire to attack. Instead, she spoke her true words:
"Auntie, actually since I decided to give my heart to him, I have taken a dim view of marriage. Whether we get married or not is not that important to me.
In other words, marriage is not a necessity for me. "
Wen Yu grew up in the United States and was influenced by free thought. She can understand this niece's thoughts to a large extent, but understanding is still understanding. At this moment, she was still full of shock:
"Since that's what you think, then let's make peace today. Let's make peace."
At this point, Wenyu didn't know what to say in order to save her niece's face.
However, Wen Yu didn't have so many worries and said it directly: "Since you are not looking forward to getting married, why are you still negotiating with Du Shuangling and Mi Jian?"
My sister-in-law is the smartest person in Wen's father's generation. Wen Hui is not surprised at all that the other party can guess what happened today.
Under the watchful eyes of the two aunts, Wen Hui came to sit in front of the sofa and said in a very soft tone:
"I went to talk to Shuangling and Mi Jian, not for myself, but for my grandpa and my parents."
Wen Hui continued: "I haven't had many friends since I was a child, and I don't like socializing in large areas, and I don't care about the rumors outside, so getting married is optional for me. As long as I identify with Zhang Xuan, I will Be sincere with him.
And over the years, I have gotten to know him better. Even without this marriage certificate, he would be just as good to me and would definitely not miss out on what he should give me.
Instead, I stepped forward to ask for it from him this time, following the usual routine and making things difficult for him, the two actors, and myself. "
Wen Yu and Wen Yu looked at each other, feeling a sense of affection and an indescribable complex feeling in their hearts.
Wen Yu asked with concern: "So how was your negotiation? Is there any result?"
Wen Hui raised her right hand and gently pinned her hair behind her head, and said quietly: "He is still pretty good to me."
The answer seemed to be said, but it seemed that it was not said. Wen Yu wanted to ask for more details, but gave up after seeing her niece's tired look.
However, Wen Yu sat over and comforted: "Hui Hui, you are engaged in art, and piano is your most important career. No one else can help you emotionally, but you heard your aunt right, that is, follow your heart." , Just do whatever you want in your heart, pursue marriage if you want to get married, or just stay in your current state if you don’t want to get married. As long as you are happy both physically and mentally, that’s better than anything else.”
Wen Yu next to her became more and more uncomfortable as she listened, and interrupted the eldest sister directly: "If you can't speak, can you just say a few words less? You encouraged Huihui to pursue herself, which is true, but you haven't considered your eldest brother and sister-in-law?"
Wen Yu insisted on her opinion: "Marriage is yours, why would you consider someone else? What age are you in now, and you still engage in family ties? Are you lagging behind? Are you? It was Huihui who slept with Zhang Xuan, not you."
Wen Yu was speechless and said angrily: "I know you are stubborn, if you can, you can use this excuse to tell our father."
Wen Yu replied: "That's what I have in mind. After I return to China, I will talk to the old man. I have to tell him: If you want Hui Hui to go further and further in her piano career, don't restrain her mentally."
Listening to the two aunts arguing about their own affairs, Wenhui didn't interrupt from beginning to end. She got tired of listening and simply went downstairs to her bedroom.
the next day.
A group of people came to the airport with careful thoughts.
As agreed in advance, Zhang Xuan accompanied Mi Jian back to the capital, and then prepared to meet his parents.
Tao Ge escorted Du Shuangling back to Yangcheng and visited Tao Xian there.
Unexpectedly, Wenhui said to Du Shuangling: "Shuangling, I haven't been to CUHK for a long time. I want to go back to CUHK to visit. Are you welcome?"
Du Shuangling was stunned for a moment, then smiled and took her hand, "Huihui, what are you talking about? CUHK is your home, Qingzhu and I are there."
Wen Hui smiled knowingly and turned to Zhou Rong, who looked puzzled, and said, "Mom, I'll go to Yangcheng and turn around and come back."
There were many people at the scene, and Zhou Rong couldn't help but agree with his daughter. He just asked, "When you get to Yangcheng, buy some gifts and go see your aunt when you have time."
Wen Hui said yes.
Wen Yu noticed his sister-in-law's unhappiness and said, "Your grandpa is not in good health. Don't stay in Yangcheng for too long."
Speaking of grandpa, Wen Hui's face darkened, "I'll stay for two days at most and then go back."
