Chapter 314 [Christmas Eve]
314
Because it was Christmas Eve, Yang Chen didn't want to see Zhenxiu go back to spend alone in the small rented house, so he ignored Zhenxiu's refusal and took Zhenxiu back to Longjingyuan's villa. Doing this, after all, Lin Ruoxi watched Zhenxiu grow up - although she was not much older than Zhenxiu. ***
When she brought Zhenxiu home, the three women in the kitchen were chatting and busy. It was rare that Lin Ruoxi returned home early, and Hui Lin naturally followed her back obediently.
The culinary skills that Lin Ruoxi learned from Li Jingjing have not been lost. She has a smart head and is more reliable in learning everything. Huilin has lived with Master Yunmiao on the mountain all year round. Although she eats vegetarian food and recites scriptures, she still knows some basic cooking skills, at least It's perfectly fine to work as a small worker, so the second daughter helped Wang Ma and worked happily in the kitchen.
Hearing the sound of Yang Chen coming home, Hui Lin ran out first, but she treated Yang Chen as her brother-in-law, and her good family education let her know to go out to greet Yang Chen.
"Brother Yang, you're back." As soon as she finished speaking with a smile, Hui Lin saw a petite and exquisite girl standing beside Yang Chen, looking around nervously, seeing Hui Lin, she immediately bowed her head and said hello, her voice was faint. Just hear it.
Yang Chen helped Zhenxiu to go forward, and introduced: "This is a sister I know, and your sister also knows her name, Xu Zhenxiu. Because she is alone, I brought her back to celebrate the festival together."
Hui Lin's thoughts were clear, and she immediately smiled kindly at Zhenxiu, but she was a stranger after all, and she didn't know what to say.
Lin Ruoxi in the kitchen was originally unwilling to talk to Yang Chen, but when she heard Yang Chen say the name "Zhenxiu", she immediately wiped her wet bare hands, and walked out of the kitchen wearing a pink apron.
Without looking at Yang Chen, she walked directly in front of Zhenxiu, took Zhenxiu's hand, and asked with a smile: "Did you go back to the courtyard to see the dean today?"
When Zhenxiu saw Lin Ruoxi, she relaxed a little, and nodded with a sweet smile: "Go, brother Yang brought me a lot of gifts for the children and the dean, and we had lunch there."
"That's good, the dean must be very happy. It's the first time you come to my sister's house, just sit and watch TV for a while, you're welcome, you can eat later." Lin Ruoxi ignored Yang Chen from the beginning to the end, obviously It's a complete cold war.
Yang Chen smiled wryly in his heart, but he couldn't help it. Since he chose that path, he was ready to accept such treatment.
Hui Lin saw the indifference and estrangement between the two, and she couldn't bear it, but she didn't say anything.
Lin Ruoxi pulled Hui Lin back to work in the kitchen, while Yang Chen dragged Zhenxiu to sit on the sofa, and took out some sweets and dried beef that Wang Ma always kept at home, which made Zhenxiu feel a little cramped again. For a girl whose monthly income is only enough for rent, utilities, and three meals a day, snacks are a luxury.
It's not that Yang Chen doesn't know Zhenxiu's hard life, and doesn't feel sorry for her, but Zhenxiu's self-esteem obviously won't accept Yang Chen buying her delicious and comfortable clothes for no reason, and can accept Yang Chen's borrowing money to repeat the college entrance examination , is already a great determination.
After half an hour of the hot meal, she moved out of the kitchen. Zhenxiu walked into the kitchen very sensiblely and helped serve the dishes.
Lin Ruoxi saw Zhenxiu holding the steamed plate in her pair of small hands, and said anxiously: "Zhenxiu don't carry that, it's too hot, it will hurt your hands!"
Zhenxiu didn't feel anything, and said with a smile: "It's okay, sister Ruoxi, it's not hot."
Lin Ruoxi was also surprised, Zhenxiu really didn't feel that it was hot, and she didn't dare to touch the plate herself.
"This child's hands are full of calluses. He must have done rough work." Wang Ma's sharp eyes saw that there were many yellowish bumps on Zhenxiu's hands, "It really hurts to see."
Lin Ruoxi had talked about Zhenxiu with Wang Ma, but Wang Ma was not unfamiliar with Zhenxiu.
Zhenxiu smiled indifferently, because in such a luxurious villa, she didn't dare to speak.
Soon, the five of them sat down. Yang Chen sat alone at the head of the western dining table, Wang Ma and Hui Lin were on one side, and Lin Ruoxi and Zhenxiu were on the other side.
Facing the four women on the table, Yang Chen felt like he was in a "female dormitory".
It suddenly occurred to me that if one day in the future, all the women around me could gather for dinner, one row on the left and one row on the right, how spectacular and what an achievement! ?
However, just think about it, although Yang Chen is a bit domineering and has a desire to possess women who like to make gods, he doesn't think he is an ancient emperor, let alone think that these women will be concubines in the court. So I don’t think that these women who are good to me will also be friendly to other women. Everyone is beautiful and has their own pride. They want to get a complete love. The heart is the same. How can it be possible to say Does tolerance mean tolerance?
On the surface, it would be nice not to pinch each other in front of my eyes, but if I really want to form a harmonious relationship, I still have a long way to go.
It's just that Lin Ruoxi who is beside her at this moment should not be by her side anymore...
Halfway through the meal, the four women chatted very well, even the shy Zhenxiu gradually relaxed and talked more.
But at this moment, the men's bell rang.
Wang Ma got up, went to the video display at the entrance, looked at the people outside, was stunned for a moment, and said to everyone: "It's the eldest lady of the Cai family", and opened the door after speaking.
The eldest lady of the Cai family is naturally Cai Ning.
Yang Chen was a little surprised, knowing that Cai Yan is Lin Ruoxi's best friend, Cai Ning should not be familiar with Lin Ruoxi, so most of them came to find him, but what needs to come to him when everyone has dinner on Christmas Eve?
Cai Ning was wearing a black windbreaker. Because she was practicing internal skills, the cold in winter had no effect on her. Her graceful and tall figure was still very eye-catching in the windbreaker. She had a cold face similar to that of Cai Yan. It seemed that the frost had just fallen, and the cold was blowing.
Entering the room, Cai Ning didn't look at anyone else, but stared directly at Yang Chen with piercing sharp eyes, as if there was some deep hatred!
Yang Chen was baffled, and Lin Ruoxi and the others were also surprised, and they didn't dare to say hello to Cai Ning.
"What did you do to my sister?"
Cai Ning asked something that stunned Yang Chen, and both Lin Ruoxi and Wang Ma showed weird expressions, Hui Lin knew that Cai Ning was Hua Yu, but didn't know who her younger sister was, and Zhenxiu was completely confused.
"What did you do?" Yang Chen shook his head, "I had lunch with her yesterday and said something, but I didn't do anything to her."
Cai Ning asked aggressively excitedly: "What did you say to her!?"
Yang Chen hesitated for a while, walked in front of Cai Ning, and talked a little bit about what he said yesterday at a volume that only Cai Ning could hear, roughly rejecting Cai Yan's love.
Cai Ning's wide moist eyes gave Yang Chen a hard look, "How can you treat her like this! Do you know how hard she has been living these days for this matter!?"
"I have no other way, this kind of thing can't be forced, and you shouldn't want her to go the wrong way, right?" Yang Chen said helplessly.
"You...you don't understand what I'm talking about at all!" Cai Ning's eyes overflowed with crystal tears, "Do you know that you are cruel?"
Yang Chen is silent, he is very cruel, but isn't it cruel to accept Cai Yan?
Cai Ning took a deep breath, and said coldly: "Yang Chen, if something happens to my sister, even if I am not your opponent, I will settle the score with you, and I will definitely not make it easier for you."
"What happened to her?" This was the question Yang Chen wanted to know.
Cai Ning glanced at him, "You don't need to know, and you don't deserve to know."
After speaking, Cai Ning turned around and left.
Yang Chen's complexion was a bit heavy, could it be that after he rejected that woman, did that woman do something stupid?
Thinking of Cai Yan's stubborn tears yesterday, Yang Chen suddenly felt that he was actually worried about her safety.
At this moment, Lin Ruoxi stepped forward, her face expressionless, but she obviously suppressed her anger and asked Yang Chen: "What's wrong with Yanyan? What did you do to her?"
Yang Chen sighed, "I don't know, I really want to know what happened to her."
Lin Ruoxi glanced at Yang Chen in disbelief, walked to the phone, and called Cai Yan's phone.
There was a message on the phone that the caller had turned off the phone, Lin Ruoxi's face became more and more ugly, looking at Yang Chen's eyes, apart from the original indifference, there was also a little more hatred.
Looking at the warm family dinner just now, Wang Ma became so dignified, especially between Yang Chen and Lin Ruoxi, the kind of jerky that anyone could feel, made her eyes a little more sad.
