accessories

When I was about to get off work, I was called home by my mother. The moment I opened the door, I felt something was wrong. There were three pairs of shoes at the door. The shoes at home were usually put directly into the built-in shoe cabinet after entering the door.

The three pairs of shoes are a pair of men's shoes and two pairs of high-heeled shoes, one of which is very trendy, and the owner is a young woman between 20 and 30 years old.

There was a burst of laughter in the living room. Chen Jin lowered his head and changed his shoes. When he walked into the living room, five people on the sofa looked at him at the same time.

"Xiao Jin, come and meet your Uncle Su and Aunt Li."

Chen Jin walked over with a smile, and nodded to the two middle-aged people who looked familiar but couldn't remember where they met. The girl next to her.

Chen Jin turned his eyes to look at her, and nodded with a smile: "Hello."

"This is Su Cen. You played together when you were young, don't you remember?"

Su Cen?

Chen Jin was silent for a while, then nodded: "I remember."

Only now can he barely distinguish who the three people in front of him are.

In my memory, there is a five or six-year-old girl with braids, who loves to smile very much. When she was changing her teeth, two broken teeth appeared in her mouth.

Not long after I met Su Cen, their family went to country M. I heard that the Su family also went to country D to develop in the next few years. I didn't expect to meet again after nearly 20 years.

The six of them sat together, and just as Chen Jin joined, they said some pleasantries. Mother Chen clapped her hands and said, "You see, we haven't had time to prepare dinner yet after chatting for so long."

Chen Jin glanced at his mother.

The nanny at home cooks three meals on time, how could there be no dinner prepared.

Mother Su smiled and said, "We all came here after eating, that is, Xiao Cen, who came here after work, but it's okay for young people to be hungry for a while."

"How can this work? After working all day, you must have a good dinner. In this case, let Xiao Jin take Xiao Cen out to eat. Our old couple have a simple dinner, and there are probably not many dishes at home."

Having said all this, Chen Jin is not a fool, although he felt bored and absurd, he still stood up and said to Su Cen: "If Miss Su doesn't mind, let's have a light meal together."

Chen's mother said: "Look at this child, the older he gets, the better he gets. It's the same with the boss of the Yan family. Miss Su, her name is Xiao Cen."

Chen Jin paused.

Su Cen stood up and smoothed things over: "It's okay if I don't mention it, but I'm really hungry. Uncle, aunt, let's go first."

Chen's father, Chen's mother and Su's mother, Su's mother, looked at them in unison. They all nodded kindly with smiles at the corners of their mouths, and their benevolent expressions were exactly the same.

Chen Jin was depressed in his heart, but naturally he didn't show it on his face.

Chen Jin has been immersed in the business circle for several years. The edges and corners of his youth have smoothed a lot, and he has become more mature and stable. Even though he is tired of his parents' behavior of leading him without saying anything in private, but in front of a lady, how can he You must also maintain a minimum demeanor.

Su Cen has an easy-going and cheerful personality, and his appearance is also one in a million.It's a pity that Chen Jin is not ready to fall in love, so he can only disappoint the old people on both sides.

But since you brought people out, of course you have to entertain them well.

He and Su Cen went to a well-reputed F-country restaurant. He didn't want to be too enthusiastic. It would be best to choose a place where you have to pay attention to the volume even when you speak.

The two ordered a meal and exchanged a few words in a low voice. The conversation was nothing more than their respective jobs. This kind of topic is not easy to be caught off guard.

The dishes were brought up one after another, Chen Jin lowered his head to eat, occasionally took the initiative to say a few words, his attitude was not cold and hot, so as not to embarrass Su Cen, but also not to give the other party the illusion that he had a good impression of her.

"Such a coincidence."

Chen Jin frowned unobtrusively, and raised his eyes.

Yan Minghe didn't know when he was standing next to them, with the corner of his mouth slightly curled up, and he glanced at him with a half-smile, but he was speaking to Su Cen.

"Brother Minghe, why are you here?"

Compared to Chen Jin who was pulling his face, Su Cen's expression was much brighter.

"I just finished eating with the client, and I saw you when I came down." Yan Minghe looked at Chen Jin, "Do you mind if I sit here for a while?"

After all, it was Chen Jin who invited him to dinner, Su Cen didn't say anything, but also looked at Chen Jin.

Stared at by two pairs of eyes, Chen Jin slightly nodded: "Please."

After Yan Minghe sat down, the atmosphere changed immediately.Compared with just now, the smile on Su Cen's face is obviously much more.

Su Cen is not a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl who doesn't understand anything. Although Chen Jin is polite to her, that politeness is not unfamiliarity that he hasn't seen for many years, but a deliberate distance. I haven't seen each other for almost 20 years, and the little feelings between children back then have been forgotten over time, but there is not much emotional loss.

She is actually a very sensible person. She has been in love seven times, if not ten times. She is not at the age where she still has unrealistic expectations for love and marriage. The two families want to marry only because of profit. Chen Jin It doesn't matter what attitude it is to her.This was decided by the old man of the Chen family, and she was not in a hurry.

Su Cen and Yan Minghe are much acquainted. Yan Minghe cooperated with some companies in country D during his time in country M, and often ran on both sides. Later, he reconnected with the Su family for work reasons, not counting the time in China. We've been dating for ten years.

I don't know if it was deliberate or what, the two chatted freely and forgot about Chen Jin.

Chen Jin was relieved, lack of sleep and a busy day at work made him unable to even take care of himself, let alone socialize with others.

After chewing and eating slowly, when Chen Jin put down the knife and fork, the two looked at him at the same time.

If he hadn't been sure that he had maintained good table manners, the knife and fork had been put down silently just now, and he even wondered if he had offended others somewhere.

Yan Minghe glanced at the clean plate in front of him and asked, "Are you full?"

The words were so casual and intimate that Su Cen gave him a surprised look.

After all, from the time he greeted them to just now, Yan Minghe basically had no intention of talking to Chen Jin, and of course the other party's attitude was the same.

Chen Jin didn't look at him, but nodded in the presence of Su Cen.

"Just eat that much?"

Chen Jin finally raised his eyes to look at him: "Is there any problem?"

Yan Minghe didn't say anything, and called the waiter: "One more macaron and one crepe, help pack it up, and check out by the way."

He took out the card and handed it to the waiter. Chen Jin stood up, and when he took out his wallet, the waiter had already left with the plate.

Chen Jin frowned and said, "How much is it, I'll pay it back to you later."

Yan Minghe glanced at the banknotes in his wallet, and after a little estimation, he rolled his eyes and smiled: "Okay."

Not long after, the waiter came over with the packaged snacks and the invoice, and Yan Minghe handed the invoice to Chen Jin.

Chen Jin took out his wallet and counted it, but found that he didn't have enough cash.

"Isn't the money enough?" Yan Minghe said as he took out his mobile phone: "Then add me to WeChat and transfer the money to me."

"........."

Chen Jin glanced at him, and slowly took out his phone.

The two of them added WeChat friends, Chen Jin quickly transferred the money, and the next second he clicked on the three dots in the upper right corner to block him, but Yan Minghe had already figured him out clearly.

"Shouldn't you block me right away?"

Saying this in front of Su Cen, Chen Jin knew that the other party was doing something similar to threatening again, but he couldn't make it too embarrassing in front of the lady, so he could only say: "Of course."

Withdrawing his fingers, he turned off the phone and threw it into his pocket.

The three walked out of the restaurant together, Yan Minghe said goodbye to Su Cen, and threw the snacks into Chen Jin's arms.

"Goodbye."

Leaving only these two words, the man left gracefully.

Chen Jin stood with the bag in his arms for a few seconds, and whispered to Su Cen, who was beside him with a strange expression, "Let's go."

Sending Su Cen home, he received a call from his mother on the way home.

Chen Jin put on the bluetooth headset, and after connecting it, she heard her mother's helpless voice: "Why did you send me back after dinner? It's so early, and you don't want to go to a movie together?"

Chen Jin rubbed the center of his eyebrows, and his tone couldn't be said to be unpleasant, but a little cold: "Mom, I don't plan to fall in love yet."

"If you don't say that, I know it too. But Xiaojin, you are not too young. Your father and I look good at Xiaocen. Even if you don't look at the Su family, she alone is a good marriage partner. And , This is your grandfather's decision, you should think about it carefully."

As soon as his grandfather was pulled out, Chen Jin stopped talking.

Knowing that the matter was half done, Chen's mother persuaded her softly and took a step back, saying that whether or not to get married was the next priority, and she was trying anyway, so Chen Jin had to say a few perfunctory words and hung up. Telephone.

He came out of the closet with his family six years ago. Although he still doesn't know whether he is gay or Shaw is his only choice, at least it is a fact that he loved a man.

The parents didn't react too much to this, but occasionally they still read a few words in a regretful tone.

As for my grandfather, even if I didn't mention it to him specifically, I probably knew it in my heart.

So before this, the family never thought of introducing him to a marriage partner.

Unexpectedly, the only time was actually decided by the grandfather himself.

He doesn't know much about the Su family, but it can make his grandfather take care of him. Marriage must be of great benefit to the Chen family, and the Su family needs a backer to come back to develop after 20 years. The Chen family and the Yan family are the best choices .

Since it's a commercial marriage, it doesn't matter even if there is no emotional foundation. Money and interests are stronger than feelings, and Su Cen must be aware of it.

Chen Jin was not originally a character who would be manipulated by others, but he was too tired and couldn't concentrate on fighting with his family.So suddenly there is a thought of "let it go", but it is not a broken pot, since there is no way to be with the person you really love, it doesn't matter who you marry.
