Chapter 280: VIP Guest
When Su Jiangyuan and Pei Yucheng rushed back to Wei's house, Pei Yucheng and Ning Zhixuan had arrived early.
Su Jiangyuan and Wen Chengyu glanced at each other. The old man's distinguished guest was indeed Pei Yucheng. No matter how they looked at it, they all seemed like a foil.
There was a pot of tea on the coffee table in the living room. When they entered the door, half of the tea had been gone. I happened to hear the old man asking Ning Zhixuan in a proud tone, "Ah Xuan, you a layman, what does it taste like, grandpa is collecting this tea?"
Ning Zhixuan was silent for a while and replied, "Grandpa, Axuan doesn't understand tea, but Axuan can drink it. This is good tea."
There was no technical compliment, but it made the old man laugh.
Pei Yucheng raised his hand and rubbed Ning Zhixuan's hair, and said with a smile, "You are only so well-behaved when you are in front of your grandfather."
Ning Zhixuan subconsciously wanted to avoid the man's touch. When he touched the old man's exploring sight and Pei Yucheng's smiling gaze, he sat still. Yu Guang saw the two people who were carrying in, but his body froze.
"Grandpa, you know that Ah Xuan likes to tell the truth the most, but you still like to make things boring." Su Jiangyuan said, and the man had already entered the living room and walked over. His eyes turned around the people, and finally nodded slightly at Pei Yucheng, "Mr. Pei, welcome to visit the Wei family."
Pei Yucheng curled his lips and smiled, his face slightly more intimate than when he saw her in the past. "Thank you." At the end, he added, "You are a guest now, if you walk around more, you will not be a guest in the future."
Su Jiangyuan was confused and embarrassed when there was something in his words.
She subconsciously looked at Ning Zhixuan, but saw that the latter lowered his head, unable to see the expression on his face, as if he had not heard the two people talking.
After saying that, he sat down next to Ning Zhixuan without hesitation, and he did not forget to poke Ning Zhixuan, who had been silent by his side with his elbow, "What are you doing? I'm going to come here today, and I won't say a meeting in advance."
Ning Zhixuan looked up at Su Jiangyuan, his face was less excited and less comfortable than before, and finally replied in a muffled voice, "Sorry, I know it temporarily today."
Su Jiangyuan was stunned. Ning Zhixuan's contrast in the past was too big, and she almost noticed it immediately. But then she thought of the phone call from Pei Yucheng that she had received before. He knew that Ning Zhixuan was still stubbornly trying to divorce Pei Yucheng, so he didn't think about it.
Wen Chengyu then came in, nodded lightly at Pei Yucheng, and said nothing.
The old man was obviously dissatisfied with Wen Chengyu's lukewarm attitude towards Pei Yucheng. He frowned and looked at Wen Chengyu with displeasure, opening his mouth, but shut up in the man's cold eyes like thin ice.
He couldn't say anything about him, but in the end he was just looking for something ugly.
In the huge living room, there are five people.
The only ones who spoke were Pei Yucheng and the old man, who talked freely from astronomy to geography, from ancient times to the present, as if they did not exist other people.
Su Jiangyuan's mouth twitched when he heard this, turned his head to look at Wen Chengyu, and found that the latter was sending and receiving documents on his mobile phone. He turned his head to look at Ning Zhixuan, and found that Ning Zhixuan was completely distracted, looking like he was not in a state at all.
Su Jiangyuan: "..."
Even though the old man and Pei Yucheng were chatting, he suddenly found that he seemed to have neglected others. When he turned around and wanted to find some topics to talk about, he found that no one responded to him at all.
“…”
Fortunately, this awkward atmosphere did not last long.
At 11:50, the housekeeper Lao Wei appeared in the living room on time and reminded everyone to move to the restaurant to have a meal. The strange and awkward atmosphere was completely over.
The old man stood up and first invited Pei Yucheng to sit for a meal. "You have come to your house so many times and have not eaten here. The chef of the Wei family was there when I took over the Wei family. He has practiced his cooking skills well. Today, you can try it."
Pei Yucheng nodded repeatedly, "The old man has ordered it, so it will definitely not be wrong."
The old man didn't know what was the funny point he was hit, and immediately burst into laughter.
“…”
During the meal, the old man specifically ordered Pei Yucheng to sit beside him, Wen Chengyu, Su Jiangyuan and Ning Zhixuan sat opposite him. When all kinds of dishes were served, the old man waved the chopsticks in his hand and spoke to the young people, "Eat."
The old man likes this kind of atmosphere very much.
The young people in front of him, except for the ones connected with him, were the children they liked very much. The group gathered together, had a meal and laughed, and for him, it was God's favor to him that he could still meet in his lifetime.
But the children don't think so.
In front of the huge table of dishes, there was still only the old man and Pei Yucheng interacting. Su Jiangyuan and Pei Yucheng interacting, while Su Jiangyuan and Ning Zhixuan interacted.
Although Su Jiangyuan always felt that Pei Yucheng was a guest of the Wei family, it was wrong to invite guests to dinner and there was no interaction between the meal. However, the old man's too enthusiastic attitude really made her feel chills, and finally gave up.
She picked up the dishes and handed them to Ning Zhixuan's plate beside her. She couldn't help but look at her with some concern, "A Xuan, eat vegetables." Throughout the whole night, Ning Zhixuan said no more than five words.
Su Jiangyuan muttered in his heart that after dinner, he must find a place to chat with Ning Zhixuan. Ning Zhixuan in this state is so scary.
Ning Zhixuan saw the dishes suddenly appearing on the plate. He stopped eating and replied softly after a while, "Thank you."
Su Jiangyuan turned around and helped her continue picking up food and froze.
They are childhood friends, they grew up together, have similar personalities, and have never had a bad temper and blushed. Their things are like their own.
This sentence "thank you" was the first time Ning Zhixuan said this to Su Jiangyuan, which made her feel chilled.
Suddenly there was a silence around me.
When Su Jiangyuan reacted, two pineapple ribs had already appeared on the plate in front of him.
The first part was given to her by Wen Chengyu who was sitting beside her. She had a natural movement and knew her preferences completely, and was not surprised at all.
The second piece was from Pei Yucheng opposite. When Su Jiangyuan discovered it, Pei Yucheng just put the ribs into the plate in front of her, took back the chopsticks and sat back on the original position.
Seeing Su Jiangyuan frowning, Pei Yucheng laughed secretly and said in a deep voice, "There are many misunderstandings between A Xuan and I. Thanks to Jiang Yuan's help a few times before, I will treat you as I borrowed flowers and offer Buddhas. If you use my place in the future, just speak up."
She helps?
Could it be that he was talking about the time Ning Zhixuan disappeared? But why didn’t she know what happened afterwards?
This makes the atmosphere even more awkward.
Su Jiangyuan looked at Wen Chengyu almost subconsciously, afraid that he would misunderstand something, and anxiously wanted to see some expressions from the man's face. Before she could speak, Wen Chengyu gently shook her hand from under the table.
At that moment, she suddenly felt at ease.
In fact, if she really asked her to explain, she had nothing to say.
"Mr. Pei, you are polite. I will help you, not for you, but for us Axuan." She lowered her head and picked up the ribs that Pei Yucheng had been clamped over and placed them in the plate in front of Ning Zhixuan, and continued, "That's what I always think that you can give our Axuan happiness, so that you can help you."
After Su Jiangyuan finished speaking, he did not forget to lower his head and put Wen Chengyu's rib into his mouth. While eating, he turned his head to look at Ning Zhixuan beside him, and blinked mischievously, "Axuan, do you think so?"
Ning Zhixuan looked at the ribs that suddenly appeared in front of him and was dazed. She didn't look at Su Jiangyuan, but just looked up at Pei Yucheng opposite him.
The man looked calm and looked at peace. He felt pain in his heart. Ning Zhixuan withdrew his gaze and gently curled his lips to Su Jiangyuan beside him, "Yes, Jiang Yuan is my best friend. No matter what, she will treat me well."
No matter how you hear that, it has a perfunctory smell.
Su Jiangyuan's eating action stopped, and his heart was quickly covered by a strange and uneasy feeling. He opened his mouth, and Su Jiangyuan couldn't speak for a long time, but just stared at this little girl who had grown up together, a little strange.
What's wrong with her?
At one meal, except for the old man who had a happy meal, the rest of the people had their own thoughts.
The housekeeper brought some desserts after dinner. Ning Zhixuan, who had been sitting without saying a word, looked up at the wall, suddenly glanced at the man beside him, and finally looked at the old man not far away, "Grandpa, it's getting late, Acheng and I will go back first."
The old man was reluctant to leave and tried to keep him, "It's still early, you can accompany grandpa again. If it's too late, let the driver take you back?"
Unexpectedly, Ning Zhixuan insisted abnormally, "No grandpa, I have something to do with Acheng."
Pei Yucheng, who had never said anything, glanced at Ning Zhixuan, who looked not very good-looking, stood up and stood up, "Old man, I'm afraid Ah Xuan really has something to talk to me. Another day, I will definitely come to see you another day, let's have tea and chat."
The old man stopped insisting, and only looked up at Su Jiangyuan and Wen Chengyu, and ordered, "You two, go out for grandpa to see them off."
Su Jiangyuan stood up and walked to Ning Zhixuan, looked at her, "Let's go Ah Xuan, I'll give you it." She knew that Ning Zhixuan could hear it clearly.
Because Su Jiangyuan was so curious, what was wrong with Ning Zhixuan now?
Why has it become strange between them since she came back alone from Ancheng?
Is there anything she doesn't know about?
After hearing Su Jiangyuan say this, Ning Zhixuan was stunned at first, and shook his head slightly for a while, "No need, I am so familiar with the Wei family, you don't need to send it to you." Moreover," she glanced at Pei Yucheng behind her, and her voice was terrifyingly cold, "We really have something to talk about."
Su Jiangyuan was stunned.
If her illusion was fake at the beginning, then now she can be sure.
Ning Zhixuan seemed to be deliberately avoiding getting along with her.
But why?
They are childhood friends, and they are the best friends in the world who can share everything they can with each other.
But she didn't insist anymore, nodded, and just told her to be careful on the way back, and then she didn't follow her again.
Ning Zhixuan nodded, his face turned pale a little bit. Before leaving, he even subconsciously glanced at Su Jiangyuan's direction.
She wants to talk to herself.
But what to talk about? How to talk about it?
They have been together for so many years, and she has always believed in her character.
She may not know some things. That's why she felt that she could not face her, let alone tell her the whole story of the original things, and she felt that she could not speak.
