Appearing at the door was a handsome face of a strange man. Xuemei hadn't read any books, but at this moment, what popped out of her mind was an elegant word-disaster for the country and the people, yes, that's the word. Other than that, there seemed to be no more appropriate words to describe how she felt about the face in front of her.
"Are you" Xuemei murmured.
The man did not report his family name, but smiled politely at her and said, "I'm looking for Yan Xiaoshi."
"Who is it?" Han Dong's voice sounded from the dining room, and before he finished speaking, he walked over in two or three steps. As soon as he saw Xuemei go to open the door, he didn't have anything to say, so he couldn't help but wonder who it was.
However, when Han Dong saw the man's face clearly, his reaction was completely different from Xuemei's. The gentleness and friendliness in his eyes were swept away, and a cold hatred burst out, covering the whole person with a layer of gloom.
This person, he has slandered him countless times in his heart in the past few years. Whenever he said this name, he would inevitably grit his teeth with disdain.
"Zhou Shaoting, what are you doing here?"
Han Dong's tone was so gloomy and cold that it was outrageous, which shocked the Xuemei beside her. She had never heard him speak in such a tone, even if she left Yan Xiaoshi unrestrained that day, Han Dong came back and scolded Yan Xiaoshi. She is not so frightening.
Xuemei looked back and forth at the two men, only to see that the man at the door was still calm and calm, even with the faint smile on his face intact, as if he didn't notice Han Dong's hostility, or maybe he didn't care at all.
However, under his peaceful and harmless appearance, he can make people feel confident and powerful inside, and his aura will never lose to Han Dong's anger.
At this time, a dramatic picture appeared in Guo Xuemei's mind: a huge piece of tempered glass was placed between the two, but it was shaken to pieces by the tense aura of each other.
Xiaoshi turned off the faucet, and felt that the originally lively living room was suddenly silent, so she couldn't help coming out to check. But seeing Han Dong and Xuemei lined up at the door with big eyes and small eyes, they also walked forward wondering.
Then, she saw the uninvited guest appearing at the door like a god who descended from the sky. The suit was neat and imposing, which was incompatible with the ordinary and warm atmosphere of the small apartment.
Xiaoshi's appearance completely shattered the barrier between the two men. Zhou Shaoting's casual and polite smile finally showed a bit of sincerity, and he pursed his lips and said, "I'll see your father off."
Han Dong's eyes were still full of hostility, and he fell on a small gift box in the man's hand. With a cold snort, he turned his head to see Xiaoshi's reaction.
The girl just came out of the kitchen, wearing a floral apron with a slender waist, adding a little fragility. She was dressed at home, her hair was loosely tied behind her head, a lot of broken hair fell on her temples, and her unkempt face was a little haggard due to the recent lack of rest.
At this time, her eyes, which were normally lively, showed a look of helplessness and restraint. She pursed her lips, and silently wiped her water-stained hands on the apron.
Han Dong felt pity and resentment in his heart when he saw her eyes, expressions, and small movements.
And the selfish man standing in front of them at this time, for his own development, abandoned the so-called love back then, and later brought such unforgivable harm to the girl who loved him deeply Now, why should he act like this so nonchalantly? Just say it, right as if nothing happened? How could he hurt the same woman over and over again!
Han Dong took a step forward with a calm face, stood in front of Xiaoshi, stared at Zhou Shaoting decisively, and slowly squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "No need, please go back." After finishing speaking, he was about to close the door.
But at this moment, Yan Yueming suddenly appeared in the messy picture.
The old man was watching TV well in the living room, but he was surprised to see three children running towards the door one after another, and they all "went and never returned", so he had to go out and check for himself.
When he saw that the visitor was his daughter's leader, he was surprised and moved. He didn't care to see the strange expressions of the three children, so he said with a smile, "So it's Mr. Zhou! Please come in!"
Zhou Shaoting nodded very modestly to the elders, and then lowered his eyes to look at Han Dong who was still blocking the door. There seemed to be a faint smile in his eyes, which made Han Dong even more annoyed.
But because of Xiaoshi's father's face, he couldn't get angry right away, so he had to reluctantly turn sideways to make a barely passable gap for the man outside the door.
Zhou Shaoting didn't mind, he slid sideways and brushed past Han Dong neatly, with a look of gratitude flashing in his eyes.
In Han Dong's eyes, this kind of look is more and more like a kind of ridicule with malicious intentions, which makes himHis scalp was numb, and his hands could not help but secretly clenched into fists underneath.
Zhou Shaoting felt a strong and sour aroma as soon as he entered the door. He looked towards the dining room and saw that the table was full of fresh dishes exuding a tempting atmosphere.
He put the gift box on the wine cabinet casually, and asked in a good mood: "What, are you going to eat?"
Han Dong took a step forward with a cold face and said, "That's right, so I won't keep Mr. Zhou."
As soon as he said this, Xiao Shi's father who stood aside was very embarrassed, thinking: This young man is usually quite sensible, why is he so rude today? It is not in line with the hospitality of the people of Yongde to give orders to expel guests without saying a word.
So, Yan Yueming hurried over, and smoothed things over with a smile: "It's a common meal, Mr. Zhou, do you want to have some together?"
Before Zhou Shaoting could respond, Han Dong was already in a hurry, and said to Yan Yueming, who didn't know what to do, angrily: "Uncle, don't meddle with you! The big boss is very busy, how can he have time to talk to us?" Let's eat together? Besides, we can't entertain someone's precious stomach!"
When Yan Yueming said this, he also felt that his rash invitation was a bit abrupt, and his face became a little embarrassing at the moment, rubbing his hands, not knowing what to say.
Zhou Shaoting originally had other arrangements and did not intend to stay for dinner at all, but at this moment, seeing the embarrassment of the old man, like a child who accidentally said the wrong thing, he couldn't bear it. So he nodded with great interest, responding to Xiaoshi's father's suggestion, "Okay, I happen to be a little hungry too, why don't we eat together."
Having said that, the deadlocked atmosphere finally loosened a little. Xuemei actively helped arrange the bowls and divide the chopsticks. Han Dong had no choice but to help Xiaoshi's father to sit at the table.
Only Xiao Shi, who didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, stood aside in a daze, watching a group of people behave individually, as if everything that happened in front of her had nothing to do with her.
It wasn't until Xuemei patted her on the shoulder and said, "It's time to eat!" She mechanically took off her apron and walked slowly to the dining table.
The seat next to his father has been occupied by two big men, one on the left and one on the right. Xiaoshi hesitated for a moment, and turned to sit next to Han Dong. Unexpectedly, Guo Xuemei took the first step and sat down, then raised her face and smiled apologetically at Xiaoshi, and said, "Go and sit over there." She said, pointing to the empty seat next to Zhou Shaoting.
Guo Xuemei is a quick-witted girl. At the door just now, when she heard Han Dong call out the name "Zhou Shaoting", she had already made a good guess about the situation in front of her.
Isn't Zhou Shaoting Yan Xiaoshi's ex-boyfriend? Now they are willing to come to see "father-in-law" off, so it can be seen that the old love is hard to let go, so the drama staged today must be the resurgence of the old love of the old couple.
Why doesn't she try her best to make lovers get married in the end?
Thinking of this, Guo Xuemei felt that she was truly worthy of such good qualities as "snow-smart" and "kind-hearted", so she couldn't help but cast a proud glance at Han Dong beside her.
However, her brother Dongzi's eyes not only showed no appreciation at all, but were also full of harsh warning. He lowered his face, lowered his voice and said to the smart little girl beside him: "Don't make trouble for me here!"
Such stern words made Guo Xuemei's throat feel a little congested.
Xiaoshi had no choice but to sit silently beside Zhou Shaoting. The two of them were so close that she could almost feel the warmth emanating from the man.
Yan Yueming looked at the bottle of red wine placed in the middle of the dining table, and said to his daughter: "Yan Yan, quickly pour wine for your leaders."
Xiaoshi said "Oh" and got up to get the red wine, but Han Dong grabbed the bottle before her and said, "I'll come!" After finishing speaking, he winked at Xiaoshi and motioned her to sit down.
Han Dong poured half a glass of red wine and handed it to Zhou Shaoting, and poured the same amount for himself, then raised his glass flat and said boldly: "Come on, I respect you, thank you for taking care of my uncle. You really are rich and powerful now, it's different ah!"
Zhou Shaoting smiled faintly, as if he didn't hear his irony, lowered his head and took a sip, then asked him very casually: "What are you doing now?"
"What else can we do?" Han Dong sneered, "People like us who have no ambitions are just doing a small business, selling snacks."
"How's the business in the store?" Zhou Shaoting asked while picking up some food, as if it was really an old friend who hadn't seen him for a long time chatting casually.
"Thanks to you, we won't be able to close down for a while." Han Dong's words were thorny, and Yan Yueming was confused, and even Xiaoshi couldn't help frowning.
Zhou Shaoting didn't care about it at all, and instead gave a more sincere suggestion: "If you are interested, I can introduce you to several catering management groups to invest in and help you build your own chain brand."
"I don't dare to take it!" Han Dongyan said pointedly: "I, Han Dongdong, am not afraid of anything, but I am afraid of owing others. If I don't treat you like last week, I will always feel guilty. Not feeling well?"
His words were insinuating that Zhou Shaoting owed a love debt, so he should feel guilty.
Xiao Shi couldn't hear it, and his expression was very unnatural at the moment. He frowned and glanced at Han Dong, and complained in a low voice: "Why did you just take a sip of wine and talk so much?"
