I turned my head and asked Yang Chen: "Where are we going?"

This place is located in the outskirts of the city, and two rows of lush walnut trees are quickly skipped outside the car window, and the small bungalows located in it seem very quiet.

Because the previous birthday incident was a little unpleasant, Yang Chen still had a sullen face when he spoke: "Why do you ask so many questions?"

I shut my mouth silently, and looked at the distant scenery to relax my eyes.

Yang Chen seemed to be very familiar with this place. After parking the car, he raised his chin to me: "Adjust your hair."

"It's not messed up..." I glanced at his face, and pretended to be reasonable, "Is it alright?"

He frowned and didn't say anything more.I followed him to get out of the car, and on the way I slandered, could it be that he brought me to meet the big shot and made him care so much.But if you really want to introduce me to a certain boss, why don't you let me prepare in advance, what's the point of making it so mysterious.

But when I saw the woman sitting on the sofa, I was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Yang Chen pinched my waist from behind, gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "What are you doing in a daze, call me auntie."

She heard Yang Chen's voice, raised her head and smiled at me.

Despite her thin body, her smile was still swaying like spring flowers, and the years did not damage her magnificent temperament.

beauty.Other than that I can't find the right vocabulary.

A...beautiful woman.

I have seen Yang Chen's father many times in the news, although Uncle Yang's facial features are deep and correct, he must have been handsome when he was young, but it is not comparable to Yang Chen's outstanding and unusual appearance.Yang Chen mentioned that he looks like his mother, so I have fantasized about his mother's appearance many times.It's a pity that his parents divorced and separated for many years, so I didn't have the chance to meet him.

How beautiful must it be to give birth to a child like Yang Chen?

Now that I see her face to face, I realize that she is much brighter and more dazzling than I imagined.At least people in their 40s are still well maintained.The eyebrows and eyes are almost carved out of the same mold as Yang Chen, and every angle seems to be carefully crafted, impeccable.

It was only after I got closer that I saw that her expression was slightly lonely and sad, which made that refined beauty show a hint of bitterness.

"Hello, Auntie." I bowed slightly, "I'm Xu Junyan."

"Hello, Junyan." She put down the album in her hand and waved to me, "Sit here and let me have a look."

I sat next to her a bit restrained, and looked up at Yang Chen.He sat on the chair next to him casually, picked up a magazine and flipped through it, and asked, "Mom, how do you feel today?"

"You come to see me, I'm fine."

Her voice was very pleasant, and she turned to look at me carefully.Under this gaze, I was numb with embarrassment, and could only maintain a polite smile.

"I heard from Shen Chen that Junyan's birthday is today, so stay and have lunch together at noon. I'll make you a small cake."

I quickly said: "Thank you, auntie, for your hard work."

"What's the hard work? It's exciting when you come here. I live here alone, and I'm almost suffocated." Her tone was innocent like a little girl, and my tension dissipated a lot. "I don't know if you like it, but I do too. Doing it for the first time."

"Auntie is very ingenious at first glance, I must like it."

I followed suit, and in return she smiled and leaned on my shoulder: "Junyan has such a sweet mouth, no wonder Shenchen likes you, and I like you too."

"Baking is a good hobby. Mom, don't you like to do it?" Yang Chen was very considerate when facing his mother, not as patient as he himself, "Can I invite some teachers to accompany you to do well? say something."

"Forget it. Honggu has been nagging me for a long time when I do this in the morning, and I'm not allowed to move this or that. It's very troublesome." She said, "Junyan, you can accompany me to the garden, Shen Shen, you are not allowed to follow me and eavesdrop. I'm talking to Toshihiko."

"Okay." He reluctantly agreed, "I won't."

I saw that Yang Chen had no intention of objecting, so he stood up and followed his aunt out.When passing by him, he suddenly pulled my arm to make me stop: "Mom, it's windy outside, I'll get you a coat and put it on."

She frowned: "Shouldn't Hong Gu send it over later?"

"It's easy to catch a cold when the wind blows, and you don't like to take medicine, just wait here for a while." Yang Chen said coaxing a child, "Xu Junyan, come with me."

After going upstairs, he whispered a few words to the middle-aged woman in work uniform. When the woman went to get the clothes, Yang Chen turned and looked at me seriously: "Remember one thing, if she asks you and me later Don't tell her anything about Dad, just don't tell her clearly."

I was confused: "Why?"

"I won't be able to explain clearly for a while, anyway, you remember." He glared at me, "Can't say a word if you don't know?"

I nodded embarrassingly, Yang Chen took the coat and went downstairs with me.He put his aunt's coat on, bowed his head and buttoned it for her.

His side face is handsome and clean. The flirtatious and sharp young man restrained his hurtful arrogance, his movements were meticulous, and his eyes were serious and soft: "Mom, you and him should walk nearby, don't run far away."

I can't help but think, after Yang Chen gets married, maybe he will learn how to love someone, and then he will treat his wife so tenderly, right?

"Why are you more nagging than me?" She smiled and looked at me, "Junyan, let's go."

She took my arm and walked the garden paths.

The weather is also very good today, and the bright roses in full bloom in the sun almost sting my eyes.

We chatted casually, and Yang Chen's mother suddenly asked, "Has Jun Yan met Shen Chen's father?"

Should this question be asked?It doesn't seem to be related to Yang Chen's father... I suddenly felt a headache, and after thinking for a few seconds, I decided to answer vaguely: "I only saw it from a distance when I held an event before, and I didn't see it clearly."

"Oh..." She was a little disappointed, "That's right."

Yang Chen's mother stopped for a while, and then began to ask about my family situation.I said something briefly, and she thought about it: "I haven't heard Shen Chen say this yet, you are a child of the Xu family...then your father is Xu Jifeng?"

I explained: "That's my uncle, I take my mother's surname."

"Huh? Then your mother is Keyan?" Her expression was quite surprised, "Didn't she marry abroad? But I don't think you look like a mixed race?"

My heart sank, and I changed the subject and asked, "Does Auntie know my mother?"

"Keyan and I are in the same junior high school, and we are alumni." She said, "Later, I went to England to study, and when I returned to China to get married, I heard that she married a Frenchman who was in the winery business, about the same time as me. The wedding... No, Shen Chen's birthday is in November, I just became pregnant when I got married in June, and you are half a year older than Shen Chen, so wouldn't Keyan be born soon at her wedding?"

Not only was I about to give birth, I heard from the nanny at home that my mother didn't even look at me after giving birth, and immediately told my family to prepare to go abroad after waking up.

I forced a smile: "You ask me, how did I know when I was young?"

"Look at me, I've been here for a long time, and my words are all upside down." Luckily, she didn't dwell on this question, "Do you know what Shen Chen is doing recently?"

"Managing the company, discussing cooperation... and so on." I really don't know Yang Chen's usual work, so I said bravely, "He is very busy every day."

"His father was the same when he was young. He couldn't see anyone for ten days and a half months when he was busy." She sighed, "He also loves to do these career things. What's the use of working well? Take care of your family And the body is the most important thing. Shen Shen has been in poor health since he was a child, and his father insisted on sending him to learn those Sanda martial arts, which made the child have no good spots on his body."

"Actually, Auntie... It's good to learn those things, at least I won't suffer now."

I thought to myself that I was lucky enough to sit and draw and write in the Children's Palace when I was a child. If I also go to practice boxing and taekwondo, will I be often suppressed by Yang Chen's force?

"Learn this, I don't have much opinion. Shen Chen is with me. His stomach can't stand the stimulation, he can't drink milk, and he vomits when he drinks it. He can't eat any coarse grains either. If he eats it, he will go to the hospital to induce vomiting." She and I complained about Yang Chen. When I was a child, "His father is good. I went abroad for treatment for a month. This month I fed the child with milk. I almost lost him. You said how cruel he is."

Although Uncle Yang speaks in a slow and easy manner, but he has been in the mall for many years, and he must be extremely cunning and resolute.It's just that I didn't expect him to have such deeds at home. With Yang Chen's temper, he probably fought against his father a lot when he was a child.

Speaking of temper... But I remembered what Uncle Yang said, that Yang Chen's personality is like his mother's, more irritable.

The woman in front of her picked off a rose, held it in her palm and admired it carefully.She spoke softly and slowly, her skin glowed white when the sun fell on her, and she carried the unique temperament of a beauty accumulated over the years.

Not at all, I thought.
