Chapter 3: The Proposal
Hear what?
After reacting for a few seconds, Wen Shuyu realized what Jiang Huaixu said, “What’s wrong?”
He thought there was nothing wrong with those words.
Under the moonlight, the elegant figure stood out, Jiang Huaixu converged his eyelashes, and his complexion returned to its original state, “Nothing.”
What qualifications does he have?
Jiang Huai sequence every day to the hospital, the degree of concern is comparable to her this biological daughter, Wen Shu Yu heart overly, “My father has been better, can get out of bed activities, there are caregivers in, you can not use …….”
It seems to be predicted in advance what Wen Shuyu wanted to say, Jiang Huaixu slowly turned around and looked at the unpowdered face in front of him, “Fish, you so don’t want to be involved with me in a piece?”
The man at his side with his face half hidden in the corridor, indifferent tone, just staring straight at her, oppressive.
Being misunderstood, it would be better to just say it outright.
“Heh” sound, Wen Shuyu holding his arm is not willing to show weakness, “First, I am afraid of affecting your work; second, indeed do not want to pull together, so that both parents feel hopeful; third, you have a favorite girl, always come to the hospital to see my father, it will make others misunderstand. ”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Huai Xu straightened up, still in an emotionless timbre, “I’ll go in to see Uncle Wen, what you’re worried about won’t happen.”
A meeting that did not end happily, who does not know how it suddenly came to a standstill.
The relationship that was eased only a short while ago, instantly dropped to the freezing point.
Wen mother naturally noticed the two’s anomaly, “What happened between you and Huai Xu?”
Wen Shuyu scratched her head and said in a good humor, “Nothing, I don’t know what’s wrong with him.”
She indeed didn’t know, obviously every word was reasonable, what was he angry about.
“Ugh,” Wen mother shook her head.
Only, Jiang Huaixu didn’t listen to Wen Shuyu’s words and still came to the
hospital to chat with Wen’s father every day, including the day he was discharged from the hospital.
Wen’s father was hospitalized for a week, and Jiang Huaixu came for seven days, without missing a single day.
Wen’s father and mother were so devoted to him that they saw him and felt sorry for him. Jiang Huaixu was the one they watched grow up, and they would feel relieved if they entrusted their beloved daughter to him.
The work of Wen Shuyu can not be done, Jiang Huaixu favorite other girls, destined to be destined to have a destiny.
*
Wen father was discharged from the hospital, the body gradually recovered, Wen Shuyu canceled leave to return to normal work, and Jiang Huaixu rarely met.
The thing of dating, Wen Shuyu forgot, Wen mother can not, looking for familiar friends to introduce, the weekend is full of arrangements.
Alley clean cafe, sunlight through the clear glass window, fell on the walnut table.
Dressed in a blue T-shirt and gray-blue bustier long skirt, a head of flaxen long curly hair Wen Shuyu, quietly waiting for her blind date.
On her first blind date, such a good girl look was done under the supervision of Wen’s mother.
The introducer praised the other party to the sky, a talented person, successful career, height 185, touting the sky and the earth.
Wen mother attaches great importance to it.
Wen Shuyu lowered her head to report with Shen Ruoying, when suddenly a man sat down across from her, “Miss Wen, hello.”
Looking at the person in front of her, Wen Shuyu forgot about expression management for a moment and stared with wide eyes.
A table of talent, where is the table? Forget about home?
Height 185, was it measured when wearing hate heights?
And body type, although it’s not right to comment on other people’s appearance, but this height and weight is afraid to be a number.
“Ms. Wen.” Wen Shuyu looked at the pink lychee roses held by the other party and slowed down from her shock.
The gap between the seller’s show and the buyer’s show, was also too too big.
Out of politeness, Wen Shuyu didn’t brush it off, instead she politely responded, “Mr. Cheng, hello.”
“Ms. Wen is even more beautiful than what the introducer said, is the makeup too thick.” The person on the opposite side of the table smiled openly, and his eyes, which were already small, narrowed into a slit at this moment.
Thick? Isn’t it just wearing positive red lipstick? Wen Shuyu gritted her teeth and smiled, “Mr. Cheng is not quite the same as what the introducer said.”
The other party did not hear the meaning of her words.
Wen Shuyu hung her head down and crackled and typed under the table, corresponding to Shen Ruoying, [You can’t believe any of the words of the matchmakers, the top cowhide is not as good as they can blow].
Shen Ruoying: [My poor, pitiful sister ah.]
The person who was passed over at the first glance, Wen Shuyu hoped to finish the task quickly and end it sooner.
What the other party said, just uh uh uh, oh oh oh perfunctory past.
Endure to listen to half a day of self-introduction, how to boast even if, hoping that after marriage the woman can resign to teach her husband at home, endure.
“Ms. Wen, this one dress is quite expensive, right, after the marriage can be so defeatist, high heels can not wear, cosmetics a lot of.”
Full of dad flavor, criticizing her.
Insufferable no longer need to endure, Wen Shuyu closed his eyes and opened them again, directly scolded, “Are you looking for a daughter-in-law or looking for a nanny ah? Requirements are really many, look in the mirror to see what kind of yourself, straight ahead and turn right there is a mirror.”
The person on the other side was choked speechless.
Wen Shuyu picked up her bag, ready to go, and Jiang Huaixu bumped into a full embrace, a look up, fell into a pair of dark eyes, meaning unknown smile, “Wen Shuyu, what a coincidence.”
Jiang Huaixu saw the joke, Wen Shuyu more anxious to go.
The man on the opposite side exited, “Wait, you’re not Wen Xinyi?”
Wen Shuyu: “No.”
Asked again, “This is not the Man Cat Coffee?”
Wen Shuyu wanted to roll her eyes, “This is Roaming Meow Coffee, meow meow meow.”
“Wrong place, told you it’s impossible to introduce such a pretty girl to me.” Not forgetting to take the Pink Lychee Rose with him when he left.
So that’s how it is, Wen Shuyu thought to herself, let’s just say her market isn’t that bad, how could she introduce someone short and frustrating.
The sun is hidden in the clouds, dark clouds, seem to have signs of rain.
Wen Shuyu opened his cell phone, the introducer and she said that the time was changed, then listening to the opposite side of the person bragging, missed the message.
Idle is also idle, Wen Shuyu sat back in the chair, “Why are you here?”
The blind date was seen by her nemesis, she did not want to lose face ah.
Jiang Huaixu sat down at the next table to her, “Coincidence, I asked other investors to meet here.”
That’s really a coincidence, Wen Shuyu’s face was expressionless, “Oh, you go and get busy, the person Aunt Hui introduced will be here soon.”
She now had no expectations at all for the blind date, worrying that if it was another oddball like the one she had just met, wouldn’t she be laughed to death by Jiang Huaixu.
Jiang Huaixu rubbed the wristwatch on his left hand and raised his eyes to meet Wen Shuyu’s, “Yuyu, I think we can.”
His eyes were deep and dark, like a bottomless pit, Wen Shuyu frowned, “Ah? Can what?”
Silver lightning cuts through the sky, heavy rain suddenly arrives, like a galaxy pouring down, falling on the slate rocks and glass windows, interrupting the conversation between the two.
A man under the eaves put away his black umbrella, stood by the door, pushed open the door of the café, holding pink lychee roses, and walked towards Wen Shuyu in a graceful manner.
Cheng Xianzhi handed the pink roses to Wen Shuyu’s hand and stretched out his right hand to greet her warmly, “Ms. Wen, how are you, I’m Cheng Xianzhi, sorry for being late due to a temporary matter.”
Snowy clothes and black hair, warm and modest, a bit like Jiang Huaixu’s temperament, but not completely different.
Wen Shuyu did not realize that she subconsciously compared Cheng Xianzhi and Jiang Huaixu together.
Temporarily rescheduling, Wen Shuyu did not have a good impression of Cheng Xianzhi, but the man in front of her was gentle and elegant, and turned to smile again, stretching out her white right hand to shake it back, “Hello, Wen Shuyu.”
With the comparison of the last one, Cheng Xianzhi’s score was growing exponentially in Wen Shuyu’s heart.
After sitting down, Cheng Xianzhi asked, “Ms. Wen, what would you like to drink?”
“Matcha latte is fine, thanks.” Wen Shuyu favored matcha with a bitter flavor, bitter but not astringent, sweet but not greasy.
During the process of waiting for matcha, Wen Shuyu was straightforward, “At the risk of asking, why did Mr. Cheng come out for a blind date?”
Cheng Xianzhi smiled, “Not presumptuous, one is to have the intention of starting a family, after all, the age is not small, the other is to meet the wishes of parents, Miss Wen?”
Wen Shuyu took a sip of matcha tea, “For my parents.”
She always felt that there was a stream of sight toward her, and she glanced at it with her afterglow, Jiang Huaixu was talking seriously about cooperation.
Probably overthinking it.
Two strangers, sitting here for the same goal.
Cheng Xianzhi continued to speak, “The first blind date, I don’t know the specific process, let me introduce myself first, I am a lawyer, a native of the southern city, I worked in the northern city after graduation, and I returned to the southern city after this year, I have a sister, I have already started a family, I have a house, I have a car, I have a deposit and no loan.”
Wen Shuyu’s right hand intentionally or unintentionally fiddled with the roses, the raindrops on the flowers fell onto his fingers, “What a coincidence, I am also a lawyer, a native of Nancheng, an only daughter, the same as Mr. Cheng, has a house, has a car, has a deposit and no loan, does Mr. Cheng have any requirements for his other half? Height and weight or relationship history.”
Adults don’t need to bend so much.
Cheng Xianzhi curved his lips, “As long as I like it.”
The whole chat was very comfortable, Cheng Xianzhi is not a Puxin man, does not demean women, and respects women, which is rare in the dating market.
The rain outside the window has unconsciously stopped, pattering raindrops sliding down along the eaves, Cheng Xianzhi lifted his hand and glanced at his watch, “As a token of apology, I invite Miss Wen to dinner.”
Wen Shuyu guffawed, “You’re welcome, Mr. Cheng, let’s go.”
When she passed by Jiang Huaixu, Wen Shuyu did not greet him, pretending not to recognize him.
Shen Beishu introduced the information, “Mr. Jiang, Mr. Jiang, what’s wrong?”
Jiang Huaixu’s thoughts were pulled back from the doorway, “I didn’t rest well last night, sorry.”
Shen Beishu followed Jiang Huaixu’s line of sight and saw a man and a woman at the next table leaving the café side by side.
Those who didn’t know the preamble might misunderstand that they were a couple.
Temporarily changing the address of the meeting, it turned out to be for this, Shen Beishu saw through it and did not say anything.
With a slight drizzle remaining in the sky, Wen Shuyu and Cheng Xianzhi walked towards the parking lot holding the same black umbrella, laughing and joking as they disappeared into the eastern corner.
“See you later.” Wen Shuyu turned around and walked to her car.
Cheng Xianzhi then walked to the black car next door, sitting in the driver’s seat and smiling, thinking about what the introducer said about the other party being well behaved.
Not really, the front view is a plain T-shirt, all the heart is in the back, revealing a small waist.
Wen Shuyu is not in a hurry to fire, and Shen Ruoying chat, [Ying Ying you say, a man with face value and height, successful career, but also single is why ah?
The car driven is a non-limited edition Cayenne, however, the watch is a Patek Philippe Star Edition.
Showing his family status.
Shen Ruoying: [Either he has a white moonlight, or he doesn’t like women, or he can’t.]
Wen Shuyu: [Is there a possibility that it is normal?
Shen Ruoying: [There is, one in a million, too hard to meet, show me a photo.]
Just quietly took a photo, came in handy, did not ask for a photo in advance, now there are too many photo fraud, it is better to see directly.
After looking at the photo, Shen Ruoying directly sent a voice, “I . Shit, Wen Shuyu can ah, directly take, today
On the night, tomorrow to get a license, the day after tomorrow wedding.”
Good girlfriends sell sisters in a set, Wen Shuyu returned two words [Refuse.
Throw the cell phone on the passenger side.
The rose color blends into the dark blue sky, the night falls, the stars roam in the majestic river.
A beam of light shone over from the garage entrance and stopped on the side of Jiang Huaixu.
Wen Shuyu got down from the car, “Jiang Huaixu, what are you doing here?”
Without answering Wen Shuyu’s words, Jiang Huaixu quickly followed her, “That Mr. Cheng in the afternoon, how do you feel?”
Wen Shuyu replied casually, “Pretty good.”
Jiang Huaixu arched his eyebrows slightly, “Any further plans?”
“Not telling you.” Wen Shuyu revealed a smile, her fingers shaking the car keys.
The garage was ten steps away from the elevator entrance, and in the gap between speaking, she had already walked, Jiang Huaixu pulled her arm, “Fish, don’t consider him.”
His jawline was taut, his eyes were cold and sharp, and under the beige overhead light, the tails of his eyes flashed an imperceptible color of pain.
What is Jiang Huaixu doing? Who is the right to control so wide.
Wen Shuyu’s slender fingers ruffled the palm at the small arm, his tone was not good, “What’s it to you.”
Face recognition to open the automatic door, the two people in a stalemate, at the moment of closing the door, Wen Shuyu side drilled in.
The elevator just stopped at the negative floor, Jiang Huaixu did not catch up.
Lying on the bed, Wen Shuyu is puzzled, Jiang Huaixu this time tonight is why?
A problem can not figure out, on the body of the quilt is also against her, cover on the hot, kicked off the cold, thermostat system is out of action.
Finally came to the conclusion that he could not see her good.
Monday, the morning rush hour is usually congested, and the traffic is moving slowly.
Wen Shuyu yawned and stepped into the law firm, Meng Man had coffee in one hand and put her arms around her neck, “Fish, go, take you to see the new lawyer, and you said, I took a lot of effort and finally dug it over, it’s very handsome and handsome.”
Meng Man, her senior sister, graduate school two people belong to the same tutor, after graduation, Wen Shuyu and her, co-founded Ruishan Law Firm.
Receiving the matcha latte in Meng Man’s hand, Wen Shuyu drank a large mouthful of it, dozing off was driven away, “Sister, our law firm also looks at the face value ah.”
Meng Man raised her eyebrows, “That’s for sure, look at you, the face of the law firm.”
Wen Shuyu: “So senior sister is looking at my face.”
“You just realized that.” The two people walked towards the innermost office while chatting.
Before seeing him, Wen Shuyu already believed what Meng Man said, a handsome lawyer.
The law firm that used to be yawning and chattering suddenly became quiet and thriving.
She does not care about face value, and she has to speak with actual ability in the workplace.
Meng Man pushed open the door, and there was a man standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, with a straight posture, like a green pine.
The sunlight was cut by the shutters, leaking in through the gaps, imprinted on the side of his shoulders, emphasizing the feeling of loneliness in the snowy mountains.
Looking at the back, Wen Shuyu vaguely had a sense of déjà vu.
Hearing the movement, the person by the window turned around, Wen Shuyu froze abruptly, “What a coincidence, Mr. Cheng.”
Cheng Xianzhi smiled calmly, “What a coincidence, it really isn’t a rename.”
Early on when he met with Meng Man, he heard the name of the other partner and thought it was a coincidence.
Meng Man looked at the two of them in disbelief, Wen Shuyu tilted his head and explained to him in a low voice about the blind date on the weekend.
With a long “Oh”, Meng Man said with a smile, “No coincidence, I declare first, our law firm does not prohibit office romance.”
Once this statement was made, the conference room was plunged into silence.
Cheng Xianzhi’s voice is like warm jade, “Then I will try my best.”
The awkwardness was skillfully resolved with a joke.
Wen Shuyu said smoothly, “That’s how schoolmates are, they’re just like that, Cheng Lulu doesn’t care.”
Cheng Xianzhi smiled, “No, the atmosphere is relaxed and conducive to work.”
Meng Man looked at one of them and said, she shouldn’t stay here, she’s redundant.
The work needs to continue, getting back to the point, “Cheng Lv, Fish is good at civil and administrative cases, I take more criminal cases, but there are no absolutes.”
Cheng Envy Zhi: “I understand, I’ll teach you more in the future.”
Meng Man was all smiles, “I don’t dare to be, together we earn money to bring justice.”
In order to welcome Cheng Xianzhi’s joining, Wen Shuyu invited all the law firms to have a dinner at the First Food Hall.
A food room is a famous local private restaurant in South City, need to book half a month in advance, Wen Shuyu has a back door to go, which is Shen Ruoying’s family’s property.
Ruishan Law Firm has a total of sixteen people, not considered a large law firm.
Su Nian is Wen Shuyu’s trainee, not yet graduated, simple character, “Fish sister, Cheng lawyer is so handsome, I do not know if there is no object?”
Wen Shuyu casually replied, “No.”
Su Nian laughed, “Fish sister, you know this, I think you two can make a pair.”
Wen Shuyu clamped a piece of chicken and put it on the plate, “Eat the vegetables, good boy, talk less, eat more vegetables.”
How come they were all keen on pulling together a pair for her.
Law firms where there are more girls than boys, there is no socializing, no hypocritical pouring of alcohol, and you can drink without fear.
Wen Shuyu people dish addiction, Meng Man is a master of drinking, before leaving, specially instructed Cheng Xianzhi, “My boyfriend came to pick me up, Cheng law, fish fish to you, be sure to escort home.”
On the one hand, other people are not reliable, on the other hand, Meng Man wants to create opportunities for them to be alone.
Cheng Xianzhi said in a warm voice, “Don’t worry.”
Wen Shuyu’s mind was dazed, but she still had a trace of consciousness, “Trouble Cheng Lu.”
In the underground parking lot of Qinhe Garden, Jiang Huaixu looked at the photo in his cell phone, zoomed in and out, repeated hundreds of times, and looked fixedly at the entrance of the garage.
The familiar white Porsche came from far and near, until it stopped in front of Jiang Huaixu’s eyes.
The door opened, Jiang Huaixu breathed a sigh of relief, is grateful, down is Wen Shuyu and security.
Dizzy, the wine has not dissipated, Wen Shuyu just want to go back to sleep.
Walking up two stairs, her wrist was suddenly caught, Wen Shuyu turned around and just met Jiang Huaixu’s clear eyes.
Like the deep sea like ink black pupils, tightly looking at her, palm tightly clasped her, the warmth of the palm passed over, the man in front of her, thin lips softly speaking.
“Fish, and I married.”
Drinking sake’s sake, Wen Shuyu’s reaction was a beat slower, paused for a few seconds, Jiang Huaixu lifted his foot and went up two levels of steps.
Standing on the same level of steps as Wen Shuyu, Jiang Huaixu once again emphasized.
“Fish, let’s get married.”
