Chapter 385 - Don't You Need to Explain Something?

Wu Mei heard it and rushed to go out with Xia Yu to pick up the things. There were still a lot of gifts which were quite expensive. She couldn’t help blaming Xia Yu. “How could you let Young Master Yan bring so many gifts?”

“Mom, what are you talking about? I didn’t ask him to do it.” Xia Yu didn’t know that he would be so exaggerated.

It made sense. Wu Mei smiled and said, “The second Mister of Shen Family is really not the same as he is said to be in the rumors. We used to see some of his gossips in magazines before, which said that he was a playboy. But since last year when your dad went to S city to inspect the branch store and had a short conversation with him, he chanted praise of him then. Your father even said that he had the style of his grandfather and his father in those days.”

Had they seen each other last year? Why did she never hear of it?

Xia Yu asked carefully on the side, “What did they talk about?”

“Young Master Yan is in charge of the project of the development area of Shen Group, isn’t he? He wanted to cooperate with your father. Your father was willing in principle. They had an appointment that they would talk about it in detail after the Spring Festival. But we did not expect that he would come over on the first day of the New Year.” Wu Mei said with a smile on the side.

It was no wonder that he brought so many gifts as he came to talk about the cooperation. Xia Yu was embarrassed. She stayed with Shen Yan every day, but she even didn’t know that he had seen her father before.

Putting the things into the storage room with Xia Yu, Wu Mei looked at them one by one carefully. She chanted praise of them while looking at these gifts. “It is Shen Family after all. It is really different from ordinary families.”

Xia Yu said sourly on the side, “Don’t we have these things at home?” She was angry. She had thought that Shen Yan dated her because he liked her. But the truth was that he just wanted to cooperate with her father.

And Old Madame didn’t take out her treasure when Zeng Mina was engaged to Shen Mo. But she sent her such an expensive gift when she just dated Shen Yan. They were not engaged at that time. This was the reason.

She was Xia Mingde’s daughter, so they all thought highly of her. They were really snobbish.

“How could you speak like this? I heard your cousin said that Young Master Yan cared about you a lot when you worked in Tengfei.” Wu Mei put down the things in her hand, holding Xia Yu’s hand and saying sincerely. “Xiao Yu, you have grown up now. You should put a curb on your temper. After all, Young Master Yan is the President. You should be polite to him.”

“Mom, is that what my cousin told you?” Xia Yu said in her heart. She was such a person in her family’s mind.

“Your cousin told me that Young Master Yan was so tolerant to you and gave you enough room to work. Xiao Yu, such a boss is so rare.”

“It’s just because your daughter is capable, not because he gave me a chance.” Xia Yu puckered her lips, showing no appreciation.

“Yes, my daughter is capable.” Wu Mei smiled and said, “Let’s go out. He is your boss after all. It’s rare for him to come over, and you should show your hospitality, right?”

Yes, it was time to show her hospitality. He didn’t even tell her that he knew her father and just came here to talk about the business on the first day of the New Year. She had to get even with him because of these things.

Xia Yu came out with her mother, and Shen Yan were talking with Xia Mingde so happily. They talked about the family topics most, and Xia Mingde talked a lot about Shen Yan’s father in those days.

Shen Yan didn’t know most of these things, so he listened to her father in a particularly serious manner.

Seeing Xia Yu come out, Xia Mingde said, “Xiao Yu, take Young Master Yan to have a stroll outside. Dine in tonight. I’ll cook for dinner in person.”

“Young Master Yan, please!” Xia Yu forced herself to smile and made a gesture of please.

Wu Mei saw it and then whispered on the side, “Remember what Mom said to you.”

I had imprinted your words on my mind. I would take good care of Young Master Yan.

They went out together, and Xia Yu asked, “Young Master Yan, would you like to take a stroll in the community or outside? You are my father’s honored guest, so he will definitely cook some of his best dishes to entertain you. The dinner won’t be finished in two hours.”

“Outside.” Shen Yan opened the door of the car. He had a lot of questions to ask Xia Yu.

Xia Yu also hopped in, and then the car drove out of the community.

Shen Yan was the first to speak. “Xia Yu, you are so great. You are the eldest Miss of Ruyi Tower, but you just pretend to be a poor girl in front of me.”

Xia Yu said, “Same with you. It’s okay that you came here to talk about business with my father, but why did you pretend to say that you came here to visit your future father-in-law?”

“Xia Yu, what do you mean? I used to come to your father before indeed, but I don’t know that he is your father.” She should have the face to mention it.

Xia Yu stepped on the brakes suddenly. “Don’t you know that he is my father?”

Why did she park the car in the middle of the road? Shen Yan rolled his eyes at her. “Have you ever mentioned it in front of me?”

“When you met my father, didn’t he mention it on his own?” Oh! It seemed to be a misunderstanding. Xia Yu thought about the scene when they just met each other.

Her father called him Young Master Yan all the time, and her mother just said that he came to talk about the cooperation. And he looked so sulky with a gloomy face. It was obviously a misunderstanding.

“You ask me, but who I can ask?” Shen Yan asked her angrily.

“I know it now, but why are you so fierce?” Xia Yu rolled her eyes at him.

“You have finished your question. Now it’s my turn. Your father just treated me so politely. Why? Miss Xia Yu, sorry to trouble you, but please tell me the reason.” Shen Yan slightly squinted his eyes, looking at Xia Yu with a spurious smile.

Damn it! Xia Yu most hated the way he looked at her.

“How do I know why he treated you like this? When you were at home just now, why didn’t you ask him directly?” Xia Yu was not convinced, staring at his eyes, and wished to cover them with her hands.

“Ask him directly? Okay, I will ask him later why he just treated his son-in-law like this.” He must get an answer. Even if he died, he must die with a clear mind.

Son-in-law? Xia Yu was shocked. “Don’t talk nonsense!”

If Shen Yan really asked like this, her father would suffer a heart attack directly.

“How can it be nonsense? Just tell me why.”

“We are not married yet.”

“So, what do you think I come here for?”

“No matter what you come here for, we are still not married, so you are not his son-in-law.”

Xia Yu kept being stubborn and refused to admit defeat.

Shen Yan nodded. Okay. I didn’t want to play the word game with you. “Future son-in-law, okay?”

Xia Yu was really speechless. “Okay! You can say whatever you like.”

“It means that you agree. Alright! We will go back and ask him now.” Shen Yan did not want to have an entertainment anymore. It was the most important event of his life. He would not have a good new year if he didn’t figure it out.

Really? It was improper.

Xia Yu was humbled immediately and refused to drive the car back. “It’s a rare chance for you to come over. How about I show you around?”

“We can have a stroll at any time. Now we have to come back to make things clear.” Shen Yan insisted.

“Shen Yan, what do you mean? You really want to argue with me here during the New Year, right?” Xia Yu said with her arms akimbo, as if she was going to have a fight with him as long as he said that they had to go back again.

She started to act shamelessly directly, which made Shen Yan even more confirm his thoughts. This girl did not tell her parents about their relationship at all. What did she want to do? Was she still hesitant at this time?

He was not so inferior.

“Anyway, it is you who are arguing with me.” Shen Yan looked at her, not ready to make a concession.

“If you agreed to have a stroll with me, would I have to argue with you?” Xia Yu became unreasonable directly. She had only one idea that she would not let him go back by any means.

Women were just women. She also had the temper which every woman had. Shen Yan would get furious with the one who said that she was not like a woman in the future. Shen Yan nodded and said with a smile, “Okay, I will go out with you. I’ll get my answer when we come back later.”

Shen Yan did not believe that she would leave him alone on the street and return home alone later. He was not in a hurry.

She would like to seize every opportunity to procrastinate. Xia Yu stepped on the gas, and then the car rushed out. She drove too fast and almost hit a child crossing the road. Fortunately, it was a luxury car, and its brake performance was good. So, it didn’t court a disaster.

But the child was scared to cry. Xia Yu was just about to get off to see if he was alright. Then the child’s mother ran over and hugged the child.

The child held her neck in the arms and cried more severely.

Seeing that her child was crying, the woman felt very distressed. She slammed on the window heavily and swore, “Are you blind to hit a child? If you really hit him, could you afford the expense?”

Xia Yu didn’t expect it to happen. She drove the car too fast indeed, but the woman was also accountable to it as she didn’t keep her child close. But the child was crying so severely, and Xia Yu couldn’t argue with her.

Xia Yu quickly apologized with a smile. “Madame, I’m really so sorry that I scared the child just now. How about this? I will take him to the hospital to have a check, alright?”

She had already made the mistake, so the only thing she could do was to try her best to make up for it. Xia Yu thought that her attitude was good, and the woman should not be picky then.

But after she said it, the woman looked angrier. “Bah, bah, bah! Do you want to take us to the hospital on the first day of the New Year? Are you sane? I don’t want to talk to you.”

The woman walked away with her child in her arms after saying it. Xia Yu looked at their back in a daze. She did not react in a long time.

Was she wrong again? Xia Yu seriously thought about it again. She had the right attitude.

Shen Yan just wanted to laugh on the side. He untied the seat belt and got off the car. Then he walked to Xia Yu and said to her, “Your emotion is instable now. I’ll drive.”

Xia Yu didn’t want to change the seat with him at first, but he had already got off. So, she had to untie the seat belt. But she was so ill-affected. “The woman is definitely a neuropathy.”

Shen Yan got into the car and said with a smile. “Why should you be unhappy about this trivial thing. Tell me where we are going now.”

Xia Yu was not in the mood to have fun at all. She said languidly on the side, “It’s up to you. You are the guest.”

Shen Yan looked at her and asked, “Miss Xia Yu, you still remember that I am a guest. How does a guest know where to go?”

“Shen Yan, you just come to go against me specifically, right? If I remember correctly, you’ve told me in the early morning that you have been to Lingshan before, right? This shows that you have been to A city before. Since you have been here, you should know where to go.” Xia Yu leaned back on the back of the chair, which meant that you could do as you wanted.

“Miss Xia Yu, I have been to A city indeed, and I have also been to one or two attractions indeed. But you really have to lead the way as a native in terms of other interesting places.” He naturally wanted to go to the places he had never been to before. Otherwise, it would be dull.

How could this person be so troublesome? Xia Yu asked peevishly, “Where do you want to go?”

“Do you have any advice?” Shen Yan asked humbly.

“Temple fair. let’s go to the temple fair. Just go straight ahead. Remember to remind me after two traffic lights, and then I will tell you where to turn.” Xia Yu directly closed her eyes. She was too hapless today. She hadn’t come up with a solution to deal with Shen Yan who was a troublesome person yet. But then she almost hit someone. How unsatisfactory the first day of the New Year was!

Shen Yan started the car and asked her after driving two intersections. “Where are you going now?”

Xia Yu opened her eyes and gave a few casual glances. Then she said, “Turn left. Ask me after three intersections.”
