MTL - Dressed As a Body Double Slag a and His Aunt-Chapter 96
The next day, Shu Jin and Shen Yilan came to the restaurant where Zhou Hong met.
Under the leadership of the waiter, he turned around and came to the door of the reserved private room.
The two did not go in immediately.
Shu Jin was a little hesitant, she looked at herself, and then asked Shen Yilan beside her: "Am I well dressed today?"
In fact, she didn't bring many clothes with Y, and the little dress she was wearing was bought together after the two of them had dinner last night.
Shu Jin knew that if she came here today, she might have to talk to Zhou Hong.
She took a deep breath and asked, "Is there anything wrong with my manner? Is there any makeup?"
Shen Yilan reached out and grabbed her hand, nodded and said, "You're fine, there's nothing wrong with you. Don't be nervous."
Shu Jin nodded.
How can you not be nervous?
Although she has already met Zhou Hong. But when she thinks that Zhou Hong is her biological mother, she will inevitably feel a little cautious in her heart.
"If she doesn't like me..." Before Shu Jin could fully ask, Shen Yilan interrupted: "You still like me."
Shen Yilan touched her face, "It doesn't matter if they don't want it, you still have me."
Shu Jin bent her eyes and nodded heavily, "Yes."
"Go in?"
Shen Yilan's words gave her a lot of confidence. That's right, taking ten thousand steps back, she still has Shen Yilan.
So Shu Jin nodded and said, "Okay."
…
Before they opened the door and went in, Zhou Hong, who had arrived in the private room half an hour earlier, was equally uneasy.
Her personality is not as gentle and natural as Wen Yi's, and she doesn't even have a spring-like smile.
Will Shu Jin reject her?
Would you like to eat the food here? Does she like this restaurant? Do you like the gift you brought her? What attitude should I have towards her?
Be careful what you say...
Zhou Hong sat in the private room and waited anxiously, and finally saw the agreed time came, and the door of the private room was finally pushed open.
Zhou Hong stood up abruptly, looked at the door, Shen Yilan was leading Shu Jin in.
Still that familiar face.
She looked very pretty in the little dress.
"You guys are here... sit down." Zhou Hong couldn't help but soften her tone, but her words were still blunt.
Seeing that there was only Zhou Hong coming, Shu Jin also breathed a sigh of relief. She saw that Zhou Hong opened the seat for her very thoughtfully.
Shu Jin glanced at Shen Yilan first.
Seeing Shen Yilan nodded, she sat down on the chair Zhou Hong had pulled out.
Like a cautious child, an adult must agree when receiving a red envelope.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Hong lowered her eyes slightly.
Shu Jin trusted Shen Yilan very much.
This made Zhou Hong feel surprised and envious in her heart.
The relationship between the two seemed to be deeper than she had imagined.
"Dishes... I ordered a few random dishes... I don't know what you like to eat, so I will call the waiter over immediately, and you can order what you want." Zhou Hong said.
With that said, she was about to find a waiter.
Shen Yilan stopped in time, "It's not for eating. Shu Jin is not picky."
Shu Jin also nodded, looked at the various dishes on the table, and quickly said: "I ordered enough dishes."
And she also noticed that the dishes on the table were all Chinese style. This restaurant seems to be a Chinese restaurant too... Zhou Hong has lived abroad all year round, so he probably prefers Western food.
This is accommodating her.
Shu Jin thought about it, and felt a little happy.
Zhou Hong hummed, "Then eat first, and then order if you don't have enough."
"good."
After saying this, the three of them began to eat, but the atmosphere at the table was a little stagnant.
Both Shen Yilan and Zhou Hong's personalities are not that talkative.
Zhou Hong sighed in her heart, feeling annoyed again.
Looking at his bowl, he didn't know what to say.
At this moment, a pair of serving chopsticks suddenly added food to her bowl.
She raised her head and met Shu Jin's gentle smiling face. She blinked and said with a smile, "This one, do you like it?"
Zhou Hong's eyes suddenly turned red.
"I like it very much, thank you." The smile similar to that of his deceased wife seemed to give her some courage, Zhou Hong picked up the serving chopsticks at hand, and also picked up food for Shu Jin.
"Can I...can I call you Xiaojin?"
"Yes." Shu Jin happily agreed.
In fact, no one can't reach the dishes.
But they clipped each other.
There seems to be something that goes without saying.
Even the atmosphere became gentle at this moment.
Zhou Hong began to ask about Shu Jin's favorite things, about her surroundings, and about many things.
Shu Jin obediently answered them one by one.
Compared with Shen Yilan who is usually serious and majestic but has a young face, Zhou Hong is undoubtedly different. It was like a kind of care from the elders, a care that Shu Jin had rarely experienced since she was a child.
Although Zhou Hong looked more serious and capable than Shen Yilan, her tone and words were very cautious.
This made Shu Jin's nervousness disappear again.
Shen Yilan, who was sitting on the side, listened quietly, picking up a dish for Shu Jin from time to time.
After a while, Shu Jin's bowl was filled by these two people.
She couldn't help laughing out loud: "If you hold on again, I can't finish it."
Shen Yilan patted her head naturally, "Leave it if you can't finish it."
Shu Jin pouted, "It's not good to waste too much."
"If you like to eat, we can take it home."
Shu Jin nodded, "Okay."
Zhou Hong stared at Shen Yilan's hand on Shu Jin's head, and remained silent.
I was so absorbed in chatting with Shu Jin that I forgot for a moment that Shen Yilan was still there.
Shen Yilan...
Seeing her stroking Shu Jin's head naturally, Zhou Hong couldn't believe it.
"Xiao Jin... I heard from Xiang Yang that you are engaged." Zhou Hong suddenly said.
Shu Jin was startled, then nodded: "Yes."
"You have known each other not long ago." Zhou Hong tried her best to make her tone not so "beating mandarin ducks".
"Yeah." Shu Jin said loudly, "But we are... well, we are in love with each other."
Zhou Hong's hand holding the chopsticks tightened and then loosened, "It's pretty good."
"I didn't have time to send my blessings, gifts, I don't know if you will like them." Zhou Hong took out the gift box that was always at hand, and put it in front of Shu Jin.
Shu Jin blinked, she thought Zhou Hong would object to her being with Shen Yilan.
Even thought of things in the worst direction.
She can leave the Zhou family, but she can't leave Shen Yilan.
But unexpectedly, Zhou Hong would give her a gift.
"I like it." Shu Jin smiled with her eyes bent.
Zhou Hong also showed a smile, "You don't even open it and take a look, just say you like it?"
Shu Jin blinked, "I like everything you gave me."
How could she not like family blessings?
And... the one in front of her is her biological mother who is related by blood!
Shu Jin smiled and opened the gift box.
Inside is a diamond, the pink diamond is not big, but the color is first-class.
This gift... Shu Jin knew it was not cheap just by looking at it.
"I know, you are studying jewelry design." Zhou Hong said, "So I didn't ask anyone to process it. If you like, you can design it as you like... as my engagement gift to you."
"It's not cheap." Shen Yilan said softly from the side.
This color... is not common.
"This...isn't it too expensive?" Even Shen Yilan said it was expensive, Shu Jin was a little afraid to accept it.
When Zhou Hong heard it, she hurriedly said, "Don't you like it?"
Shu Jin: "...No..."
Zhou Hong said seriously, "Then you accept it, this is my wish."
Shu Jin looked at Shen Yilan, Shen Yilan also nodded, and even boasted: "Next time, I may not be able to meet a diamond of this quality."
Shu Jin had no choice but to accept it.
"I'm going to the bathroom." Zhou Hong wiped the corners of her mouth, got up and said.
After finishing speaking, she didn't leave, but looked at Shen Yilan, "Shen Yilan, let's talk."
Shen Yilan paused.
What should come is still coming.
Shen Yilan sighed and got up: "I also want to go to the bathroom. You wait for us here for a while."
Shu Jin nodded hesitantly.
She heard that the two are good friends... there shouldn't be any problem.
…
The two came to the balcony where the restaurant provided a rest.
Without Shu Jin, Zhou Hong's complexion was not as good as before.
"Why Xiaojin?" Zhou Hong stared at her and asked.
Shen Yilan: "Because I like it."
"I remember you were an unmarriageist." Zhou Hong said with a frown. Although the engagement of his friend and daughter was concealed, it was not this that Zhou Hong cared about the most after getting angry.
For Shen Yilan to get to where she is today, she is an absolute interestist.
She and Shen Yilan have been dating so far, one is that there is no conflict of interest, but a compatibility of temperament.
Zhou Hong would rather her daughter's partner be more ordinary than Shen Yilan.
But obviously, she is not qualified to stop it now.
However, she will still ask what should be asked.
"Not married...before I met her, it was true." Shen Yilan did not deny it. She will pass Zhou Hong's test sooner or later.
"Is your cleanliness cured too?" Zhou Hong stared at her and asked.
"No, but there are always exceptions." Shen Yilan looked at his gloved hands.
It seemed that after wearing gloves for a long time, even she herself got used to it.
Zhou Hong's gaze became sharper, "Shen Yilan, you seem to have changed a lot."
Shen Yilan didn't speak.
Let her look at her generously.
Zhou Hong is a friend of the original owner, and she has been in touch with her several times since she traveled here. It is normal for Zhou Hong to notice some differences.
But Shen Yilan firmly believes that all unfounded suspicions will be attributed to time as 'everyone is subject to change'.
Especially people like Zhou Hong would never believe in the theory of time travel.
"To Shu Jin, I am sincere." Shen Yilan only said.
About ten seconds passed before Zhou Hong looked away, "I'll wait and see."
According to her understanding of Shen Yilan, even if the other party gets married in the future, they will only marry with a community of interests. This person is absolutely impossible to be Xiao Jin.
But I have to say that Shen Yilan seems to have changed a few months ago.
Zhou Hong tried to convince herself—
That's right, I wasn't such a taciturn character back then.
When Wen Yi was still there, she was always smiling.
"I will watch." Zhou Hong sighed, her daughter who had been separated for more than 20 years, she had to see her happy forever.
Shen Yilan nodded and asked her, "Is the Zhou family going to admit Shu Jin back?"
"Of course." After Zhou Hong finished speaking, she paused before saying, "...it depends on Xiao Jin's wishes. The Zhou family is not that complicated."
Shen Yilan: "Yes."
Zhou Hong is confident that she will not lose to Shen Yilan in terms of treating Shu Jin well.
In this regard, Shen Yilan also has the same confidence.
…
The two walked back 'after going to the toilet'.
On the way back to the private room, I saw Zhou Hong's secretary rushing over in a hurry.
"Mr. Zhou! Mr. Smith and his wife are here, hoping to meet you!"
Hearing this name, Zhou Hong frowned: "Why are you looking for me?"
"I hear it's about Mrs. Smith's business, but it's probably about Mr. Nick's business," said the secretary.
"I don't see you." Zhou Hong's expression turned cold, the furrows between her brows deepened, and her shrewdness and ability were fully revealed on her face.
Today is the day she met her daughter.
Can't be bothered with these guys.
The secretary broke out in a cold sweat, "Mr. Zhou... people are already blocking the door of the private room."
Zhou Hong was taken aback.
Shen Yilan took the first step and walked towards the private room.
Seeing her leave, Zhou Hong quickly followed her.
The Smith Group has been entrenched in country Y for many years, and it can be regarded as a local snake.
I just hope that Smith really came to apologize.
otherwise…
Don't blame her for being cruel.
