Chapter 40
On the weekend, Ye Lan followed Tan Qin to visit Wen's house as promised.
Qin Qin borrowed a car, and took down the pillow at home and put it on the passenger seat. When Ye Lan saw it, her breath was choked in her throat. She wanted to get angry but was afraid of being brave, so she sat down angrily, and ignored her all the way. he.
The Wen family's old house is located in a beautiful villa area on the outskirts of the imperial capital. Ye Lan was secretly surprised. He thought that wealthy families lived in the second and third ring roads, but he didn't expect that the rich are scrambling to escape the urban area these days.
Continue along the main road of the villa area, the more people go in, the more inaccessible. The landscape trees on both sides of the road are luxuriant, staggered to cover the sky and block out the sun, as if wandering in the forest path.At the end of the road, Qin Qin made a turn and stopped outside a fence.
A circle of wall-climbing tigers were planted on the outside of the wall. If you didn't look carefully, you might think it was a green barrier.The fence is so high that when looking out from the car window, only the protruding corner of the eaves can be seen.
Almost as soon as the car stopped, someone like a security guard came over to check, Tan Qin rolled down the window, the man recognized him immediately, motioned for the people inside to open the door, ran forward and lowered his head in fear: "Young master, you Change car?"
Qin Qin nodded coldly: "I borrowed it."
Ye Lan couldn't help laughing out loud: "Young master?"
Qin Qin glanced at him, kicked the accelerator and the car rushed forward.Ye Lan gave a sudden pause under the pressure of inertia, and an indescribable part of the back immediately curled up.Ye Lan was so painful that tears came to her eyes, she no longer dared to tease him.
The car drove past the front yard of the garden, and the whole picture of the old house gradually appeared.Different from the western-style buildings of Min's house, Wen's house is more like an improved courtyard house, surrounded by a green garden and locked within the wall just passed by.
Ye Lan suddenly remembered Hua Hui's evaluation of Fengxi: In the past, Fengxi's family was the only brand in the emperor, and their family focused on pure gold jewelry, and the older generation liked it very much.But his family has almost no innovations, and it is gradually falling behind the times... He took another look at the dark gray courtyard wall, and felt that this layout was very similar to Fengxi's business philosophy.
Qin Qin parked the car outside the courtyard gate, opened the door to help him get out of the car, and glanced at the pillow: "Do you want to take it for you?"
Ye Lan waved his hand away in embarrassment and indignation. Seeing that the parents still brought pillows, a discerning person would know it at a glance!
Qin Qin shrugged and let him close the car door.
Said it was a door-to-door visit, Tan Qin thought Ye Lan would be embarrassed when they met for the first time, so he just brought him to have a meal.Appearing in the dining room in time, the Wen family, young and old, were already waiting there.Ye Lan felt sorry, and took the initiative to apologize, fearing that the other party would think she was too rude.
Tan Qin followed him to introduce him. Ye Lan thought he would meet a big family, but unexpectedly there were only two old people and Wen Jiaojiao.
Wen Weihe was wearing a long gown, with a thin face, only a pair of piercing eyes, and his temper was just like his name and kind.Seeing Ye Lan's doubts, he took the initiative to explain: "This is your first time here, so I didn't call anyone else because I was afraid that you would be scared."
Ye Lan thanked him gratefully, and then went to see Mrs. Wen beside him.Mrs. Wen was wearing a well-fitting embroidered cheongsam and a dyed silk shawl. Her gray hair was neatly tied behind her head and fixed with a delicate golden hairpin.She looks very similar to Qin Jianbai, no wonder Qin Jianbai chose to change her surname when he ran away from home.
After exchanging greetings with the two elders, Ye Lan turned to Wen Jiaojiao who was obediently standing aside: "Diana, we meet again."
Wen Jiaojiao blinked at him, and took his hand affectionately: "Come on, come on, take a seat quickly and don't stand around stupidly, I'm going to starve to death!"
When Wen Weihe heard it, he slapped her on the head helplessly: "I just know how to eat, and I don't want to lose face."
Wen Jiaojiao stuck out her tongue, enthusiastically picked up the cloth dishes, recommended signature dishes to Ye Lan for a while, and told Wen Weihe the foods to avoid.The originally polite atmosphere was driven by her innocent and charming, and the guests enjoyed the meal.
Ye Lan tried to sit up straight. Although the Wen family's private dishes were delicious, he had no intention of tasting them.The chair was made of high-quality pear blossom wood, and he had to lift his hips slightly to avoid touching the red and swollen pussy, and he had to be distracted from answering Wen Wei's accosting words.
Perhaps it was Tan Qin who told Wen Weihe about his profession. Wen Weihe was obviously very interested and asked him a lot of questions about jewelry design.Ye Lan felt that Limei couldn't compare with Fengxi, and he didn't want to mention Wanhua's part, so he answered cautiously, for fear of showing his timidity.
Tan Qin didn't participate in their conversation at all, and concentrated on eating, and when he finished eating, regardless of whether Ye Lan was full, he pulled him to stand up and say goodbye to the elders of the Wen family.Ye Lan was surprised, but it was hard to say it out, so she had to follow him and say goodbye, promising to visit again when she was free.
Wen Weihe didn't expect Tan Qin to be so anxious, but he kindly welcomed them to come again next time and asked Wen Jiaojiao to take them out.
After leaving the dining room door, Ye Lan couldn't bear it any longer, and asked a little reproachfully: "Why did you leave so early? It's my first time here, how rude!"
"Oh, then you want to continue sitting on the solid wooden chair?" Tan Qin glanced at him coolly, "Can you bear it?"
Wen Jiaojiao next to her was already laughing into a ball, bent down and couldn't straighten up.
Ye Lan was speechless, and his laughter made him even more embarrassed.He looked at Wen Jiaojiao, recalling the grievances and grievances of the wealthy family that Tan Qin had told him, and his heart was filled with displeasure.This girl is completely a victim of the grievances of the wealthy family. She lost her mother when she was born, and was abandoned by her biological father.A feeling of compassion suddenly rose in his heart, and he could no longer tell her to "stop laughing".
He didn't know whether Wen Jiaojiao had hatred for Min Zhihong, and he didn't know which father was more sad than his father who didn't know where he was.
Wen Jiaojiao's blooming smile didn't look hazy at all. If Tan Qin hadn't mentioned it, Ye Lan would have thought she was a rich young lady who grew up happily.He looked at Qin Qin again, the male god's handsome face was still cold and cold when he first saw him, noticing his gaze, Qin Qin raised his eyebrows and looked over.
Ye Lan breathed a sigh of relief, her brows stretched out.
He once wanted to come out bravely like Lao Wan, live freely, without fear of all the gossip.This inexplicable emotion has been entangled with him, like a dodder locks the atrium, preventing the sun from shining in.Now Tan Qin showed him a possibility, and Wen Jiaojiao showed him another possibility.
In this world, there is no unforgivable suffering.Everyone is alive, each has his own pain, the more he wants to hide it, the more he wants to cover it up.
Unspeakable wounds, either gouge out the carrion and let it heal, or hide it and pretend it doesn't exist.If you open the wound again and again to check, you will never wait for the day when the pain disappears.
"Diana."
"Ah?" Wen Jiaojiao raised her head to look at Ye Lan, the smile still remained on her face, "Why are you calling me?"
Ye Lan was momentarily at a loss for words.She didn't need sympathy or comfort, he just wanted to stop him suddenly, and didn't think about what to say.
"You're fine."
"I've been fine!" Wen Jiaojiao smiled brightly in the sun, "Diana is the name of Wonder Woman. She has no father. She is a baby girl made of mud by Queen Hippolyta. Gives life. I feel like she is. Don't worry about me, I am the strongest female warrior, standing shoulder to shoulder with Superman!"
Ye Lan was amused by her: "Well, you are amazing."
"Speaking of which, the three of us don't seem to have a complete family!" Wen Jiaojiao walked backwards in front, tilting her head, her dyed curly hair hanging playfully, "Why don't we just form a group of bitter children!"
Qin Qin, who had been listening to the two of them bantering, interjected, "You missed one more."
"Who is it?" Wen Jiaojiao frowned and thought for a while, "Oh, we won't take him to play with that."
Ye Lan looked at this and then at that, not understanding what charade they were playing.
After walking for a while, Wen Jiaojiao sent them to the gate of the courtyard, turned her head to Tan Qin and said, "Brother, go and wait in the car first, I have something to say to my sister-in-law."
Tan Qin was noncommittal, shrugged and walked away, leaving Ye Lan alone.
Wen Jiaojiao pulled him to a corner, but she didn't rush to speak.
Ye Lan waited patiently, Wen Jiaojiao squatted on the ground and pulled the weeds in the garden, her voice was muffled: "Well, you have met my grandpa and grandma, how do you feel?"
"Very good, the second elder is very kind." Ye Lan didn't know what she meant, so she had to choose polite words to answer.
"Actually, they want to ask you if it is possible to bring uncle back, but my brother is present, so they are too embarrassed to ask." Wen Jiaojiao sighed, "History is always surprisingly similar, what is my brother and uncle now? Just like my uncle and grandfather. Like a father, like a son, tsk."
Ye Lan thought about it, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.He also knelt down and watched Wen Jiaojiao bullying the poor flowers and plants: "Then what do you want to do?"
"I just thought, you are now recognized by my grandparents, which is equivalent to half of Wen's family. If you have a chance, please persuade my uncle to come back and have a look. Grandpa and grandma are getting old, and the company's affairs have not been let go." Never mind, the only thing I think about is my son." Wen Jiaojiao said in a low tone, "I got in touch with my brother back then, and got to know him behind my uncle's back. My brother is really a very good person. My parents grew up, and my uncle didn't bring him to see his grandparents, but he still wants to come back to see the two old people. My uncle hasn't been back to Wen's house since he ran away from home. My son doesn't come home, and he keeps nagging. Over the years, their health is getting worse and worse, and I'm worried..." She choked up when she said this, and neither of them spoke for a while.
Wen Jiaojiao took a few deep breaths, calmed down, and stretched out her hand to hold Ye Lan's arm: "I know you are a soft-hearted person, and I can tell that my brother really likes you. You can persuade the couple more when you have time. Father and son, now, where is there any hurdle that cannot be overcome?"
Ye Lan thought to herself, I also want to, but there is no suitable opportunity.But Wen Jiaojiao was about to cry, so he had no choice but to agree first: "Don't worry, leave it to me."
"Yeah, you're so kind!" Wen Jiaojiao finally broke through her tears and smiled, and pushed him out the door, "Hurry up and go, don't let my brother get mad again after waiting."
