Warm and respectful people

The picture book is very thick, and Xia Wen's part is at the end. Her slender fingers pressed the pages of the book, and her eyes fell on the seams of the book.

After hearing her own name from Lin Weiwei's mouth, her heart skipped a beat.

When they first heard the name, everyone was stunned, and the whole air was silent for a while.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, the name was too unfamiliar.

Xia Wen closed the book, turned his head, and looked directly at Lin Weiwei with indifferent eyes.

There is an outsourced coffee shop on the first floor of the publishing house. Huge green umbrellas are set up in the small garden on the side, and wooden tables and chairs are placed underneath.

Lin Weiwei invited Xia Wen to drink a cup of coffee.

The glare of the sun shines on the green grass and red flowers.Lin Weiwei reached back her head to coil up her thick curly hair and fixed it with a wooden hairpin, strands of hair fell down.

Xia Wen took a sip of coffee and put the cup back on the table.

Lin Weiwei pointed at the edge of the table, and asked straight to the point: "Do you know Shen Xueyu?"

Before asking questions, she glanced at Xia Wen beside her, a pretty young girl, such a girl is not uncommon in her circle, she often creates a piece of work instead of going through all kinds of difficulties and dangers , Whether it will be accepted by everyone in the end is still unknown, so it is much easier to use your reasonable face and body to get a ticket to enter the upper class, and the latter obviously has a higher success rate.

This girl is just one of them.

Xia Wen nodded: "I know."

Lin Weiwei shook the sunglasses in her hand, the disdain in her eyes became stronger, and she glanced at Xia Wen from the corner of her eyes.

"Then do you know that Shen Xueyu is the investor behind the publication of this album?"

Xia Wen was a little surprised by Lin Weiwei's directness, and the malice in it was hardly concealed.

Xia Wen had a private chat with the editor after learning that she was selected because of Shen Xueyu. She told the editor at that time that if it was purely because of Shen Xueyu, she would give up this opportunity.The editor explained to her for a long time that among the reasons why Xia Wen was selected, Shen Xueyu only played the role of threading the needle. The real reason is that Xia Wen's works are of excellent quality, and she has indeed won awards.

No one in the publishing house, whether it's the leader or the ordinary editor, thinks that Xia Wen's selection is through the back door. Even if the authors who are also selected have higher qualifications than Xia Wen, the quality of their works is not better than Xia Wen.

In this circle, Xia Wen is the one who works hard without resources.

In the past, Xia Wen was impressed by Lin Weiwei's talent and dreamed of becoming a painter like her.But what she didn't expect was that her artistic idol was just a cheesy person in real life.

The care that was once accompanied by these three words has disappeared at this moment.

Xia Wen rubbed the coffee cup in his hand, with a cold smile on his face, the smile didn't reach his eyes, and his eyes didn't fluctuate at all, even after hearing such provocative words.

Lin Weiwei was a little surprised by the calmness of the other party, and she even felt the shadow of Shen Xueyu in Xia Wen.

Xia Wen knew that Lin Weiwei didn't intend to talk nicely to him, but just tested his relationship with Shen Xueyu, so she didn't need to talk nicely to her.

She raised her eyes and smiled at the people around her: "Since you know this, Ms. Lin, you probably also guessed my relationship with Shen Xueyu, why bother to ask me again."

Lin Weiwei's hands that were shaking her sunglasses froze for a moment, and her surprise at Xia Wen turned into surprise.

"So, you admit that you were selected because of Shen Xueyu's relationship?"

Xia Wen's half-smile was completely different from her weak and deceitful appearance when she was silent just now, she said: "Miss Lin, I think you should know that if you want to kick me out, wouldn't it be more convenient for you to go directly to Shen Xueyu?" ?"

Lin Weiwei was stunned, not expecting that the other party was actually covered in thorns.

Xia Wen didn't have the patience to continue dealing with her, so he took his bag and prepared to leave.

Just stood up, as if suddenly thought of something, said: "I just received that painting by Ms. Lin, I like it very much, and I will treasure it well."

After speaking, he turned and walked away.

After entering the lobby and checking the details with the editor, she said she had something to do at night and left early.

Xia Wen's straight waist softened immediately after getting into the taxi, she leaned her body on the back seat, the street lights turned on in the gradually darkening sky, and the overlapping light and shadow shone on Xia Wen's side face.

She took out her mobile phone and sent Shen Xueyu a WeChat message.

"When are you free? I'll send you the painting back."

This gift was indeed too expensive, and she couldn't afford it.

-

After Xia Wen washed and dressed on Saturday morning, she wore an orange-pink long dress with puff sleeves and rushed to Lin Yi's birthday party.

Xia Wen usually has no makeup at work, and occasionally wears glasses. She looks like a plain little beauty. Today she put on a light makeup, with pink blush on her cheeks, and her long black hair was permed a few times by a curling iron. The graceful arc is full of exquisite girlishness.

When scanning the QR code to pay, the young driver couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

The address of the Shen family's villa has not changed, it was the place she used to come to when she was a child, but later Shen An'an's parents also bought a villa next to it, opened up the two and renovated them.

Inside the open gate is a wider yard with rockery and flowing water, evergreen pines and cypresses, which is a typical classical garden style.

After going around the courtyard, Shen An'an saw her first, ran over and led her in. There were already many people in the hall.

According to Shen Anan, most of them are business friends of his parents and relatives of both parties.

The banquet hall was full of people in fancy clothes talking and laughing while holding wine glasses, and the smell of flowers and pastries was everywhere. Xia Wen followed Shen An'an to Lin Yi who was receiving guests.

"Mom, Wen Wen is here."

This was the first time Xia Wen saw Lin Yi after returning to Nancheng. They hadn't seen each other for many years, and the two of them felt a little strange when they met again.

Xia Wen handed over her gift: "Auntie, happy birthday, I wish you good health and more and more beautiful."

Lin Yi is a dignified woman. She accepted Xia Wen's gift box with a smile, and then stretched out her hand to hug Xia Wen gently: "Wen Wen grows more beautiful."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Xia Wen asked Shen An'an to receive the guests, and found a sofa to sit on.

When she just took a glass of juice, she saw Shen Xueyu walking in from the door.Black thin sweater with high-waisted beige wide-leg pants, carrying a gray leather bag, and a gift in the other hand.

The people in the banquet hall were still for a moment because of Shen Xueyu's arrival, and then returned to bustle, but their eyes still couldn't help but let Shen Xueyu glance over.

Most of the people who had contacts with the Shen family knew that Shen Feng had a bad relationship with her eldest daughter, especially since the eldest daughter had been abroad for the past few years, it was almost as if she did not have this daughter.

Shen Xueyu had long been used to the evasive and probing gazes of her relatives, so she walked straight to Lin Yi expressionlessly, and handed her her gift.

"Auntie, happy birthday."

It was Lin Yi who asked Shen Anan to call Shen Xueyu over.Although she was only Shen Xueyu's stepmother and rarely participated in the affairs between their father and daughter, she still hoped that Shen Xueyu could get closer to this family.

After Lin Yi entered Shen's house, Shen Xueyu and her were polite and did not interfere with each other. This was probably the best way she could think of to get along with her stepmother, so in this home, she could be friendly with Lin Yi. In the relationship, she regards Shen An'an as her younger sister, but she can't get along well with her father alone.

Shen Feng, who was chatting upstairs with his friends, happened to go downstairs, and saw Shen Xueyu at first sight.

Shen Feng, who has been used to being a superior these years, has long forgotten the humility and patience of his youth, and some gray hairs have climbed up his head, but the majesty on his face is getting stronger day by day.

He walked down the stairs, sat on the main seat of the sofa, and said to Shen Xueyu, "I knew I had a family, so I thought you would stay abroad forever."

Shen Xueyu didn't seem to hear his words, the gift was delivered, and after greeting Lin Yi and Shen Anan, she didn't plan to stay for a long time.

In Shen Feng's eyes, Shen Xueyu's silence was a kind of blasphemy against his father's authority. Over the years, his temper had grown, and in front of everyone, he needed to make Shen Xueyu bow to him.

He shouted loudly: "Come whenever you want, leave whenever you want, do you think this is a hotel? Do you still think of me as a father?"

Shen Xueyu felt that the word "father" was very harsh. She thought of her mother who died of depression. She turned around and looked at Shen Feng coldly. Her cold eyes seemed to be looking at a stranger. Contains some sarcasm.

"Then do you still see my mother who died because of you?" Her voice was cold, and everyone present could hear every word clearly.

Everyone present knew something about the death of Shen Xueyu's mother. It was not a big deal in their circle. Few people would blame Shen Feng for her mother's death, but they just lamented that this woman's psychological quality is too poor That's all, or it's bad luck, don't know how to enjoy life, how can a man not have a few women outside.

Everyone came here like this, so why can't she.

From the eyes of these people, Shen Xueyu understood their indifference and incomprehension.

Shen Feng was even more furious. He disliked this daughter the most because of her mother's entanglement with him, so that she became the pride of the family, but it still made him full of anger.

The fat and weak body stood up abruptly. After drinking some wine just now, Shen Feng's head was a little dizzy, but his anger was even worse.

"Your wings have hardened over the years, right? I dare to challenge you. Without me, you would be where you are today. I can't cure you." Then he picked up the teapot that was just brewed on the coffee table, and rushed towards Shen Xue. Islet threw it on him.

Shen Xueyu didn't hide, the purple sand pot hit her collarbone, made a bang, and then fell to the ground, splashing hot tea all over her body.

The tea leaves stuck to her shoulders, and her fair skin was instantly burned red.

Many people present couldn't hold back their exclamation. Seeing that the situation was a bit out of control, everyone rushed forward to persuade Shen Feng.

The servants rushed over to pick up the broken tiles.

Lin Yi asked Shen An'an to take Shen Xueyu to the room to tidy up.Shen An'an invited many of her friends over today, and the little girls who had never seen this kind of battle were dumbfounded. She had to go to explain and comfort her, so she threw the towel handed over by the servant into Xia Wen's hand.

"My sister is relying on you, her room is still in the old place, you know it well."

Xia Wen, who was stuffed with a towel, froze for a moment: "..."

Then she looked up and saw Shen Xueyu standing aside like a sculpture.The banquet hall that was still singing and dancing just now has become a mess, but few people really care about her.

Xia Wen had no choice but to sigh, walked to Shen Xueyu's side, and wiped off the tea leaves with a towel.

She looked up at Shen Xueyu: "Go and change clothes."
