Chapter 51 The Family Dinner (1/2)
The silver sports car was sprinting on the winding road. The man in the driver's seat held his forehead with one hand and glanced at his companion next to him.
”Are you very cold?”
A Miao was desperately pulling her skirt down who shot him a glare when she saw Shen Xinglan's eyesight falling on her lap.
”Don't look at me!”
Shen Xinglan turned around. Her skirt was long enough to pass her knees. He really didn't know what she was worried about. Let alone the skirt, even if she was naked...
Suddenly he recalled his reactions last time and changed his face. Then he forcibly put more strength on the throttle.
”You won't go back on your words, will you?” A Miao found that his face turned ugly.
This afternoon, when Shen Xinglan asked someone to send her the skirt, she didn't think it was too short. However, when she put it on, she found that it just passed her knee. If she sat down, her thighs would be revealed.
It was the first time that she wore such a short skirt and she found her two legs looked surprisingly beautiful!
”Miss, your legs are so beautiful. They look better than those models!” After Shen I praised her, A Miao was even more uncomfortable.
”I want to discuss something with you!” At that time, she ran to find Shen Xinglan.
Shen Xinglan stared at her legs wrapped in a blanket. ”You are too fat to wear it?”
A Miao giggled. ”Yes, it's too tight.”
”Suck it up.”
”...”
Seeing her still not giving up, Shen Xinglan said, ”If you don't want to wear the skirt, don't disguise your eyes.”
”I... will wear it.”
When Shen Xinglan saw A Miao's legs in the car, no one knew what he was thinking. Only Shen II, who was careful, noticed that his own Boss pinched his fist.
”When they ask questions, if you want to answer it, you can reply. If you don't want to answer it, just ignore them. If...” Shen Xinglan stopped the car and stare at her.
A Miao moved backward. ”What are you going to say?”
”If you make them unhappy, then I will be very happy.”
”What does that mean?” A Miao looked at the man confusedly.
Shen Xinglan opened the door and ignored the housekeeper who came to welcome him. He whispered near A Miao's ear, ”If I am happy, I will find you a tutor.”
”Young master, please!”
A Miao entered the villa with her eyes widely opened.
”Dad.” Shen Xinglan gently said.
Ji Zeming sat on the sofa in the hall and nodded. ”Come and sit!”
A Miao felt that the way Shen Xinglan calling his father sounded like he was calling a wild dog on the roadside. It was especially perfunctory.
”A Miao, come over!” Bai Yongwei came out with the fruit. ”I haven't had a good look at you. Come and sit next to me!”
Shen Xinglan shot her a meaningful glance, but A Miao ignored him.
”Good evening, Uncle Ji and Aunt Ji!” A Miao bowed respectfully and put the gifts on the table, saying, ”Thank you for inviting us to have dinner.”
Ji Zeming glanced at the gifts and found they were all tonic. Although they were not special, it was the first time that Shen Xinglan had brought them gifts over the past few years. Under these circumstances, he looked at A Miao in satisfaction.
”This must be bought by A Miao. My son has never done this before!”
Shen Xinglan sat aside calmly. Bai Yongwei took a look at Ji Zeming and said, ”Well, you always complain that Xinglan doesn't come back frequently. Now he comes back. Why are you still complaining!”
A Miao secretly prayed that they would not open those supplements as they were all taken out from the basement and they might have mildewed...
”Daddy, shall we start dinner?” A young girl ran down from the second floor. Seeing her, Shen Xinglan suddenly froze his smile.
Bai Yongwei spoke to her, ”Why are you so reckless. Come and meet your brother and his fiancee.”
”I already did!” Ji Xue ignored Shen Xinglan and A Miao. ”I greeted you and Dad!”
”She is your future sister-in-law. Don't be rude.” Bai Yongwei shot her a glare, and then looked at A Miao to apologize. ”My daughter is spoiled. Please don't be angry!”
A Miao quickly shook her head and was about to comfort her when she saw Shen Xinglan standing up.
”I'm hungry. Let's have dinner.”
...
At the dinner table, Ji Xue suddenly started talking.
”You are A Miao? Is this your real name?” She wore a clear contempt in her eyes. ”How can there be such a surname?”
A Miao calmly answered, ”It is the earliest surname in ancient times. Besides my surname, Xinglan's surname is older than mine.” She smiled at Ji Zeming.
”I heard that Xinglan is taking his mother's surname. I think Uncle Ji must know more than me!”
Ji Zeming was stunned and then seemed to fall into a recollection. He nodded and said, ”Yes, Shen is a significant surname in ancient times...”
”Dad, you...” Ji Xue was dissatisfied until she was kicked by Bai Yongwei.
Hearing A Miao and Ji Zeming talking about Shen Xinglan's mother, Bai Yongwei pulled the corner of her mouth. She added some food into Ji Zeming's bow and occasionally smiled to respond him.
”Okay, let A Miao eat!” After a few minutes, Bai Yongwei interrupted them.
