She became addicted after marriage, and Mrs. Jiang was so spoiled that the corners of her eyes turne

Nan Shiyu: "?"

"my brother?"

"What does it have to do with my brother?"

Cheng Nian'an explained: "I was surprisingly unlucky when I went abroad this time. Just two days after I arrived there, I met your brother near the company of State A. Then my old father somehow made the plan to ask your brother to take me back to the country. .”

"In the end, your brother upheld the virtue of helping others and fulfilled his mission by bringing me back from country A."

Nan Shiyu: "...?"

Her cold-faced brother, the King of Hell...is there ever such a time when he is so 'helpful'?

"Dong dong" Two gentle knocks on the door interrupted the conversation between Nan Shiyu and Cheng Nian'an.

Qin Yan walked in despite their gazes.

He handed the gift in his hand to Nan Shiyu.

"Miss, this is the gift Mr. Nan brought you during this business trip."

Over the years, whenever Nan Yuheng went on a business trip, whether it was to a foreign country or to other cities in the country, he would always bring a gift to Nan Shiyu when he came back.

Over the years, nothing has been missed.

Nan Shiyu took the gift and looked at Qin Yan with a somewhat probing look.

Obviously he wanted to ask something.

Qin Yan, on the other hand, avoided her sight without leaving any trace.

Pretending not to understand what she meant.

Then before Nan Shiyu had time to speak, she quickly said:

"There are still many things that need to be dealt with at the headquarters. Miss, I will go back first. If you have any questions, please call Mr. Nan directly."

Before he finished speaking, he quickly left the president's office.

It wasn't until he arrived at the elevator that Qin Yan calmed down.

In the scene just now, if he couldn't figure out what their eldest lady wanted to ask, his years of service as a special assistant would have been in vain.

But precisely because he could see it, he didn't know how to answer.

Because now he doesn't even understand what his boss means.

If he was interested in Miss Cheng, he hadn't mentioned a word about the Cheng family or Cheng Nian'an since he came back from abroad.

If it is unintentional...it will take a lot of trouble to bring people back home when they are abroad.

Qin Yan shook his head with a headache.

Who said it had to be "a woman's heart or a needle in the sea"? President Nan's thoughts were even more elusive than the sea.

-

The president's office is in progress.

Looking at the gift package Qin Yan sent over, Cheng Nian'an suddenly thought of something and took out a beautifully wrapped gift box... from the side.

Just an empty box.

"Zhizhi, isn't your birthday coming soon? I chose a gift for you in advance."

Nan Shiyu took the empty box in her hand, shook it in her hand, and turned to look at her without saying anything:

"Auntie, the birthday gift you prepared for me is just an empty box?"

The word "perfunctory" was written all over her eyes.

Cheng Nian'an knocked on her forehead.

"Even if I had no money a few days ago, I wouldn't be so picky."

She glanced at the box and explained: "I originally thought that when I came back from abroad, I wouldn't be able to catch up with your birthday, so I prepared a gift in advance and mailed it over."

As she spoke, she let out a long sigh.

"Everything in the world is unpredictable! Who knew that before the gift arrived, I would arrive first."

This box came with an extra empty box when I bought a gift that day.

When packing things in the hotel, Cheng Nianan brought them back.

Nan Shiyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Carefully, she put her empty gift box and the gift from Nan Yuheng together.

"Okay, now it's like receiving two gifts." Nan Shiyu joked.

"Nian Nian baby, I'm waiting for your gift to come back."

Cheng Nian'an looked at the empty box and suddenly felt that this broken box was really ugly.

Let's go to the mall again later to buy a new gift.

***

that evening.

Before getting off work, Father Jiang and Mother Jiang called.

After the call was connected, Jiang Mu was the first to speak.

"Zhizhi, do you have any plans tonight? Come to the old house for a meal with Jing Yu?"

Jiang's mother likes girls very much, but her body was damaged after giving birth to Jiang Jingyu and she was unable to have a second child.

Jiang's mother has always regretted that she does not have a daughter who knows both cold and hot feelings.

Ever since Nan Shiyu was born, and since she was engaged to be married to her son as soon as he was born, Jiang's mother has always treated Nan Shiyu as her own daughter.

He gave her the best in everything, and he doted on her no less than his biological son Jiang Jingyu.

The corners of Nan Shiyu's lips curved, "There are no arrangements, Mom, we will go there later."

Hearing this, Jiang native's tone became filled with joy.

"Okay, come right over after work. You don't have to buy anything. Mom will cook for you tonight."

After saying that, she asked: "How about preparing a seafood feast for dinner?"

Nan Shiyu's eyes fell into a smile: "Okay."

After hanging up the phone with his daughter-in-law, Jiang's father immediately called Jiang Jingyu.

At that time, Jiang Jingyu was having a meeting in the conference room.

The sudden ringing of the bell interrupted the reporting process in the conference room, and also attracted all the senior executives to look over.

Jiang Jingyu frowned slightly.

Pause the meeting, answer the phone, and leave the conference room.

"Dad, what's the matter?"

His tone was calm and without any ups and downs.

After hearing his daughter-in-law's sweet voice, and then hearing his cold and icy tone, Father Jiang's face suddenly darkened.

Furthermore, when talking to Jiang Jingyu, his tone became less patient.

"Come back for dinner tonight."

"Your mother and I have already called our daughter-in-law. Don't forget to pick up Zhi from the company."

After saying these two sentences, Father Jiang unilaterally cut off the call without even giving Jiang Jingyu a chance to speak.

In front of the window outside the conference room, Jiang Jingyu listened to the busy tone on the microphone: "..."

After glancing at the current time, Jiang Jingyu did not return to the conference room. Instead, he asked Lin Rui to inform the senior management inside to adjourn the meeting and discuss the rest of the meeting another day.

six o'clock.

Jiang Jingyu drove and parked downstairs of Nan's subsidiary company.

At 06:30, the two came to the Jiang family’s old house.

As soon as she entered the door, Jiang's mother enthusiastically took her daughter-in-law's hand and went to the hall.

The remaining father and son looked at each other. Jiang Jingyu had helplessness in his eyes. He was about to step up the steps and walk in, but his old father who was not angry took the lead.

What's even more outrageous is that his old father still nags him as he walks.

"You should learn more about expression management when you have time, so that you can enrich the expression library on your face."

"If your mother and I hadn't had the foresight to arrange a baby engagement for you and Zhizhi before anyone else could react, it would be strange for Zhizhi to marry you with your iceberg-faced face."

"Also, getting married is not just about getting married and everything will be fine. The key to getting along between two people is their relationship."

"With your ice face, when will you make my daughter-in-law develop feelings for you?"

"You are such an adult, you don't know how to think of a solution on your own."

Jiang Jingyu's left ear goes in and the right ear goes out.

Ever since they had a daughter-in-law, he was just one step away from being reduced to a dispensable existence in this family.

Jiang's father saw that he had been nagging for a long time, but his cold son didn't even say a word. As soon as he turned around and looked over, Jiang Jingyu walked around him without stopping and went straight to Nan Shiyu in the hall.

Jiang's father still wanted to nag his son a few more words: "..."

Over here on the sofa, Jiang's mother is taking her daughter-in-law to give her birthday gifts.

There is a long list of expensive jewelry packages on the coffee table.

"Zhizhi, this is a birthday gift prepared by your parents for you. Although your birthday is still three days away, your dad and I have thought about it and it is better to give the birthday gift in advance."

Jiang's mother glanced at Jiang Jingyu, who was sitting on the other side of Nan Shiyu, and continued:

"You young people have your own arrangements for your birthday. Your dad and I won't waste your time on that day. You go back and open these gifts to see if you like them."

Nan Shiyu smiled sweetly and gracefully, her eyes rippling like lake water: "I like it very much, thank you, parents."

The family finished dinner in a pleasant atmosphere. Before they returned to 'Sheng Ting', Jiang's mother found an opportunity when her daughter-in-law went to the bathroom, came to her son specifically, and whispered to him:

"Mom is telling you, son, in three days it will be your first birthday after marriage. Your father and I have given away all our birthday gifts."

"As a husband, it's your wife's birthday. It would be outrageous if you didn't express anything."
