The sky gradually darkened.
It was raining lightly outside. Pedestrians on the road were holding umbrellas and walking quickly. The sounds of cars coming and going seemed to be amplified in the rain.
Xinghai Garden Hotel.
Ying Kexin was sitting in the hotel lobby, watching the rain outside the window hitting the window.
"Do you like rainy days?"
The man opposite suddenly asked.
Ying Kexin's eyes slowly fell on the man opposite from the window.
Before she could answer, the man continued.
"I like rainy days. I can take you back on the way. I heard that mothers love their daughters very much."
Ying Kexin still didn't reply.
The man smiled and said, "Do you want to get married soon? You are 27, just right. Ying Kexin, I like you."
Ying Kexin is the daughter of the new leader of Nanhu, but she cannot be considered a new leader. After all, she has been in the position for five years, and she has been in Nanhu for five years.
After Mr. Song passed away in a car accident, a new leader came to Nanhu, and Ying Kexin was his daughter.
Perhaps because of this background, she was considered a picky and troublesome woman, and there were even rumors that she was an illegitimate daughter born from outside.
Although the man opposite had no choice but to come out, he was unknowingly confused by Ying Kexin's appearance.
"I heard that you have studied art, right? Painting, sculpture or something else?"
"I'm an artist, now working as a curator at an art center."
Ying Kexin said in a calm voice.
From the moment she appeared until now, her expression has not changed at all, and only a handful of people have spoken.
"I know that place very well, but unfortunately I am a layman in art. I have to ask you for advice when I have time. By the way, where is the art museum where you work? Can I go see you next Wednesday?"
Ying Kexin looked at the man in front of her and asked, "Does this mean a date?"
"I'm sorry for offending you. I'm not usually like this. I really like you, so that's okay?"
"It probably won't work."
She replied bluntly.
"Why?"
The man's expression changed obviously.
"I just don't have that feeling for you. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to beat around the bush. We don't seem to have any fate."
"Then why did you come out? You knew you would end up wasting time."
"Because this is a family agreement."
Ying Kexin nodded, picked up the bag next to her, and turned to leave.
The man stood up excitedly and yelled angrily: "I feel less than I imagined."
Ying Kexin paused, and a man's sarcastic voice came from behind.
"In order to get rid of the situation of being a doormat, why are you so arrogant? I don't know why you are so arrogant. Why did you become so embarrassed after I exposed your true intentions?"
After listening to his words, Ying Kexin turned around slowly, with the same expressionless face and a calm tone.
"Now I know what you mean. I'm so lucky."
"What?"
"So let's just break this line and don't meet again. It doesn't matter what reason you use to pass this blind date. I don't have any objections."
After saying this, Ying Kexin walked towards the outside of the hotel, leaving the man stunned.
She walked out of the Xinghai Garden Hotel. Because it was raining outside and there was a cold wind, her skirt was floating up. She was shivering in the cold and hugged her arms. What the man said was in her mind.
[Get rid of the doormat situation].
[What a arrogant posture].
This blind date still fell through again. How should I talk to my mother when I get home?
Suddenly, a car stopped at the entrance of the hotel, and a man got out of the car, wearing a black suit. When the wind blew, his hair flew, and he held it back randomly.
“What a cool weather!”
After saying this, he took out the cigarette from his pocket and put it to his mouth.
Ying Kexin couldn't help but stop and look at the man walking by.
"You should know that smoking is prohibited indoors."
said the man next to him.
"Know."
When he answered this sentence, he walked past Ying Kexin, holding a cigarette in his mouth, and glanced at Ying Kexin.
The two people's eyes met, but they just passed each other like strangers.
"The owner of the house has stipulated that smoking is not allowed in the hotel."
"You're so annoying!"
"Master Shi Yan!"
Shi Yan sighed helplessly, put back the unlit cigarette in his mouth, gritted his teeth and asked, "This should be okay, right?"
"Master, I'm just following the rules."
"This girl Shiran is even more outrageous than grandpa."
As he spoke, he walked into the hotel.
Entered the elevator and pressed the top floor.
Get out of the elevator and talk as you walk.
"The master of the house is waiting inside. He will return to the Shi family's mansion for dinner later. The old man has prepared meals in the Shi's family's courtyard. You can also stay in this hotel. A room has been opened for you."
"Okay, I know everything."
Shi Yan replied in a toneless and mechanical voice.
"The head of the family also issued special instructions..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Shi Yan.
"Okay, enough is enough, I'm not a child."
The next second after saying this, he pushed open the door to the room.
"Here we come." Shiran was sitting in the middle, holding the document in his hand. The moment he opened the door, he looked up. "You had a hard time on the way here."
Shi Yan didn't say anything, but came to the table skillfully, picked up a bottle of wine casually, and poured a glass.
His actions made Shiran frown slightly.
After Shi Yan poured himself wine, he raised his glass and asked, "I'm thirsty, would you like a drink too?"
"sit down!"
Tokiran ordered expressionlessly.
Shi Yan was not angry. He just sat on the sofa with a wine glass and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time. It's so heartless, so what do you want to tell me?"
"Check it out."
"What do I have to review? Haven't I done enough in the past five years? Of course, it is far from enough compared to you, the head of the family. Anyway, you make the decision in the family, and I was kicked out by you. If anything happens, you Just figure it out."
"That's it?"
When Shi Ran said this, he slowly placed the document in his hand on the table, crossed his legs, and looked at him coldly.
"Anyway, I don't have the obligation to inherit the family. Now you can do whatever you say in the family. I don't need to be loyal to the owner who delivers the food like a dog to prove my worth." Shi Yan sneered coldly and drank the cup. of wine on the table. "I thought that from the day I left Nanhu, I would never come back until I die."
"It's your fault, you were on the wrong team."
"If nothing happens, I'll leave."
Shi Yan stood up and walked outside.
"Don't leave Nanhu, there will be something for you to do later."
Before he finished speaking, Shi Yan stopped, leaned his back against the door frame, and asked, "Why did you call me back?"
Shiran took a deep breath and said, "Although you don't live up to expectations, grandpa misses you very much."
"gone!"
After saying these words, the door was closed.
