Sun Meng raised his head, shook his head gently, and said noisily: "My teeth are going to fall out."
Unintentionally, I showed off my affection again.
"Which tooth? I'll take you to the doctor and get it fixed for you." I said jokingly.
Sun Meng also joked with me and demanded: "Then I want the most expensive one."
I smiled and said, "Okay."
After Sun Meng slapped Shen Tianyi last time, I didn't see Shen Tianyi downstairs.
Shen Tianyi looked gloomy in the company, with a cold face and no smile at all. Everyone is afraid to see him recently, and avoid him when they encounter him, for fear of being scolded by him.
I don’t know if he is like this because of Sun Meng or because of other things.
Facing Shen Tianyi, I can only sigh.
Relationships need to be consensual and cannot be forced.
One day I met Han Li at the company.
The two of us looked at each other within a meter of each other for a few seconds, and in the end we both made a tacit agreement not to speak to each other.
Han Li came here to find Shen Tianyi. The two of them chatted for a long time.
In fact, for Han Li, Gu Chenyang was not the best choice. There are other people with good conditions pursuing her. She didn't have to chase Gu Chenyang so hard and make herself miserable.
I don't have any resentment towards Han Li, but I envy her.
I envy her ability to act as she pleases, and my ability to bravely pursue the person she likes.
I have nothing against her. She doesn't like me a little bit.
However, she still has the qualities of a lady and has never given me any trouble.
Sun Meng went to do the job introduced by Gu Chenyang. She didn't adapt to it at first and kept shouting that she didn't want to do it, but she did it even though she shouted, and she gradually got used to it.
The end of the month is coming quickly.
Sun Meng and I even dressed up specially to meet Gu Chenyang's parents.
When we arrived at the private room, I learned from Gu Chenyang’s mother that Gu Chenyang’s father had something to do and had not come over.
Gu Chenyang's father never cared much about these things.
He didn't come, which I thought was quite normal, and I was glad that he didn't come.
"Auntie, this is the gift I brought you." I gave Xin Ying the gift prepared by Gu Chenyang.
As a junior, face should still be given to the elders.
Xin Ying said with a smile: "Thank you. I also prepared gifts for you."
She said and took out two bags from the chair next to her and gave them to us. She even prepared a gift from Sun Meng.
Sun Meng took it in surprise and said gratefully: "Thank you, auntie."
I also said: "Thank you."
"Chen Yang told me what dishes you like to eat. I've already ordered the dishes, but I just don't know if the chef here will suit your taste." Xin Ying said considerately.
I quickly said: "It should fit well. We are not picky eaters."
Xin Ying smiled and nodded and asked us to sit down.
She wanted me to sit next to her, and Gu Chenyang sat over first, then pulled me to sit next to him.
Sun Meng naturally sat next to me.
The feeling that Gu Chenyang’s mother gave me this time was obviously different from the last time. I felt valued, and I also felt the warmth of Gu Chenyang’s mother.
This time I didn't feel the same discomfort as last time.
Gu Chenyang’s mother is very enthusiastic about my friends. She was always smiling and looked very friendly, which made me wonder if I was too sensitive more than two years ago.
"Mom, we usually have our own work to be busy with. If you want to see us, just tell me not to go to Tao Ye's residence." Gu Chenyang said directly to express his attitude.
Xin Ying was not angry at all, and promised with a normal expression: "I know. I won't disturb your rest."
I laughed along awkwardly, feeling a little panicked inside. I'm worried that Gu Chenyang's mother thinks I made Gu Chenyang say that.
The relationship that has finally been eased should not become tense again.
I quietly kicked Gu Chenyang's legs under the table to remind him not to say that.
Gu Chenyang patted my hand gently and told me not to worry with his eyes. He'll handle it.
"Are you getting used to living in Yunzhou?" Gu Chenyang's mother asked caringly.
I nodded and said obediently: "It's quite adaptable." After all, I had stayed in Yunzhou for half a year before.
Sun Meng also returned: "Get used to it. It's pretty good here."
Xin Ying saw that Sun Meng liked to talk, so she had a conversation with Sun Meng.
I ate my meal carefully, my ears always perked, always ready to answer Gu Chenyang's mother's questions.
As they said this, the private room became less deserted. I can relax a little bit.
"Sun Meng, do you have a boyfriend?" Xin Ying asked with concern.
Sun Meng shook her head gently and said with a smile: "No. I don't..."
Before she finished speaking, Xin Ying said hurriedly: "At your age, it's time for you to fall in love. Auntie, let me introduce you to a boy. This boy is a little worse than our Chenyang. He has good conditions in all aspects. , you should like it? His name is Shen Tianyi."
After hearing Shen Tianyi's name, not only Sun Meng was stunned, but also me.
The lively atmosphere just now suddenly cooled down.
The only sound in the private room was the breathing of a few of us.
Sun Meng was so disgusted that wrinkles appeared on his face.
Gu Chenyang's mother was also a very observant person. She immediately realized something was wrong and quickly asked, "What's wrong? Do you know Shen Tianyi?"
"I know you." Sun Meng nodded and said softly.
She only answered two simple words, but her expression said it all.
Xin Ying also saw that Sun Meng didn't like Shen Tianyi, and quickly said: "Auntie has many other candidates."
This time Sun Meng was not slow and said quickly: "Auntie, I don't want to fall in love yet. Thank you for your kindness."
Gu Chenyang also helped: "Mom, Sun Meng will arrange his own affairs, so don't worry about it."
Xin Ying nodded a little regretfully and said, "It's okay if we don't talk about it. Just be happy."
Sun Meng smiled and nodded.
This way of chatting is so good. It saves face for others and for yourself. Everyone is quite decent, but I am afraid that the other person will not only be inconsiderate, but also want to point fingers.
Not to mention that Sun Meng felt relaxed, I felt relaxed even listening to him.
"Hurry up and eat. You are usually busy with work and don't have time to arrange your own life. If you need anything, just tell me. I will arrange it for you." Xin Ying said enthusiastically.
I put down the spoon and said a little embarrassedly: "Auntie, we are actually not very busy at work and have enough time to take care of our own lives. Thank you for your kindness."
I know Xin Ying just said this because she wanted to spend more time with me.
But I really don't know how to get along with her. At this stage, it’s better for us not to get too close. If the distance is too close, conflicts may easily arise.
My mother and I are like this, let alone Gu Chenyang's mother.
I'm not married yet, and I don't want to start the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law so early.
Xin Ying said modestly and understandingly: "Okay. Then I won't care. I will take care of you when you need me to take care of you."
"Thank you, auntie." I said carefully.
Gu Chenyang said seriously: "Mom, didn't I tell you? If you have anything to do in the future, just tell me directly."
"Okay, okay...I know." Xin Ying coaxed softly.
In fact, she also wants to help us. She is so easy to talk to now, which makes me feel a little distressed.
"Auntie, don't worry, we can take care of ourselves." I said proactively.
Xin Ying said supportively: "Yes. I believe you."
After dinner, Gu Chenyang’s mother drove away by herself. Gu Chenyang sent us home, and then was called away by others.
Sun Meng and I went back together.
When I got home, I opened the bag.
What Gu Chenyang’s mother gave me was an expensive-looking bracelet.
I looked at it and put it back. I don't like these things. I think they are too cumbersome and take up space at home. I don't usually wear them.
But I have received Gu Chenyang’s mother’s wishes.
Sun Meng came over to look at it and sighed: "This bracelet is so beautiful. Your future mother-in-law is really thoughtful. In order to please you, she treats me very well. Such a person is really powerful. If she can always like you so much, It won’t be too difficult for you to get along in the future.”
I smiled slightly and said nothing.
I don't want to have any expectations for Gu Chenyang's mother. I can understand whatever she does, whether it was more than two years ago or now. After all, she and I are strangers with no relationship. It's normal for her to think about her son.
She was so purposeful that I didn't want to get close to her. We can just get along in an ordinary way.
I don't want to pay anything for her, and I don't want her to pay anything for me.
No matter how she changes, I will never forget our first meeting.
"Can I try?" Sun Meng asked eagerly.
I gave the bracelet to Sun Meng and said generously: "Try it, try whatever you want."
Sun Meng carefully took it and put it on her wrist, admiring it to herself.
To be honest, I don't see any difference. What exactly can this bracelet bring to people? After all, it is just a stone. Its meaning is all given by humans.
But in my case, it makes little sense.
I almost wanted to give the bracelet to Sun Meng, but I was worried that Gu Chenyang’s mother would ask about it in the future.
"It looks pretty, you should try it too." Sun Meng said, taking off the bracelet and putting it on for me.
I took a look at this fragile thing on my wrist and thought that wearing this thing on my hand would be really tiring, making it inconvenient to work, and I had to be careful not to break it.
I took off the bracelet and put it back in the bag.
Sun Meng opened her bag curiously to see what gift she had received.
She was now opening a blind box, feeling very excited and nervous.
"I also want a bracelet, please give me a bracelet." Sun Meng closed her eyes and made a wish devoutly.
When I opened the bag, I saw a cute little golden bunny.
I think Sun Meng would like this thing. Because she likes cute things.
Sun Meng hasn't opened her eyes yet.
I said directly: "It's not a bracelet, it's a little rabbit."
"Little rabbit?" Sun Meng quickly opened his eyes to look.
She said a little disappointedly: "The difference between the gifts between the two of us is probably too big. I feel a little uncomfortable."
"What? You don't like it?" I asked with concern.
Sun Meng sighed softly and said with great self-knowledge: "No. I just want the bracelet. Forget it, what am I comparing to you?"
After all, Sun Meng went with me to deal with Gu Chenyang's mother. I took the initiative and said: "What kind of bracelet do you want, I will buy it for you. Let's go buy it now."
"No, no, no..." Sun Meng waved her hand and refused.
She picked up the little rabbit, looked at it carefully, and said, "This thing is shiny. Isn't it gold?"
I didn't know much about gold, so I didn't know if it was true, so I shook my head and said softly: "I don't know either. But Gu Chenyang's mother probably won't give anything too cheap. This thing is worth some money."
Sun Meng checked it with her phone and found that it was indeed gold.
Knowing that this little rabbit cost tens of thousands of dollars, she was immediately not disappointed.
"It's great to be friends with rich people. I just had a meal with them and received such a big gift." Sun Meng said happily.
I smiled helplessly and said jokingly: "Do you still want the bracelet? Sell this little rabbit and you can buy the bracelet."
Sun Meng shook his head gently and said with a silly smile: "No need. I still think gold is better. It maintains value. And this thing is not fragile, even if it is broken, the value will be affected. The bracelet is not so safe."
I smiled and nodded, agreeing with Sun Meng's idea.
"Isn't your future mother-in-law very good? Don't be afraid of her. At her age now, she will definitely want to get closer to her children." Sun Meng persuaded her seriously.
I sighed softly and said jokingly: "Just because of this little gift, you started to speak for Gu Chenyang's mother?"
Sun Meng said seriously: "That's not entirely true. In these two meetings, she was very nice to me. I think she is a good person."
"Okay." I sighed in my mind.
The feelings of others are ultimately different from my own.
Sun Meng only accepted the good things from Gu Chenyang's mother and did not have to face the bad things about Gu Chenyang's mother.
Sun Meng thought I was unhappy, so she quickly hugged me and comforted me: "Tao Ye, I will always stand by your side. If Gu Chenyang's mother is not good to you, she is not good to me. No matter how good she is to me, I I don’t think she’s good either.”
I patted Sun Meng's hand gently and said with a smile: "I know. I also think she is doing well now. But after all, she and I are still strangers who have only met three times, so alienation is normal."
"Yes. I understand." Sun Meng said.
I smiled at Sun Meng and comforted her that I was fine.
Sun Meng looked at the little rabbit and said dumbfounded: "Why did Gu Chenyang's mother want to introduce Shen Tianyi to me? I was caught off guard at the time. Fortunately, she just told me that if he told Shen Tianyi, he wanted to It would be embarrassing if I introduced him to Shen Tianyi."
I'm not surprised by this.
"Didn't Gu Chenyang also want to introduce Shen Tianyi to you at that time? Gu Chenyang's mother is also familiar with Shen Tianyi, so the first thing that comes to mind is naturally Shen Tianyi." I explained.
There is no way to introduce someone to someone you don’t know well.
Sun Meng shook her head gently and said with emotion: "My bad relationship with Shen Tianyi. I have resigned, but his name still appears in my life."
