Chapter 151: Better to Find a Younger Brother-In-Law
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Not long after she returned to the dormitory, Nan Ge received a call from her brother.
The topic undoubtedly revolved around yesterday’s meeting with the parents.
“It went very smoothly. His father and stepmother are very good. They even gave me a pendant. It looks quite good.”
“Did his stepmother really treat you well?” Nan Zhe was not worried about Shen Yanqing’s father. What he cared about more was his stepmother.
“I’m telling the truth, Brother.” Nan Ge sat on the balcony as if she was whispering to Nan Zhe. She lowered her voice and said, “I’ve seen Shen Yanqing’s mother before. Anyway, compared to her, this auntie seems to be more… gentle?”
Nan Ge scratched her head, unable to find a suitable word to describe it. “I think his stepmother is easier to get along with. His mother looks a little fierce, and she looks very domineering at a glance. However, his stepmother is the complete opposite. Just like our mother, her personality is super good!”
At this point, Nan Ge told Nan Zhe everything that happened last night.
On the other side, Nan Zhe listened while eating breakfast and did not comment.
“Hello? Brother, are you still listening?” Nan Ge rambled on for more than ten minutes, but she did not hear a response from the person on the other end of the line.
“I’m listening. Are you done?”
“Uh huh.”
“Got it. I’m hanging up.”
‘ Nan Ge frowned. “Don’t you have anything to say?”
“Such as?”
“For example, you think Shen Yanqing’s aunt is really not bad.”
Nan Zhe replied, “Shouldn’t that be the case?”
“The fact that she treats you so well only means that she’s a normal person.”
The phone screen suddenly flashed. Nan Zhe looked down and said to Nan Ge, “I’m not talking to you anymore. I have a call.”
“Oh…” Nan Ge could only hang up first.
“Why did you call me?”
“I sent Nan Ge back to school.” The call went through and Shen Yanqing’s voice came through.
“Okay, got it.”
Nan Zhe did not react and continued eating. “Is there anything else?”
“When I went back this time, I took the family tree and household register. When are you in Huai City?”
Nan Zhe raised his eyebrows and put down his chopsticks. He took a deep breath and smiled. “Did you really take them?”
“Yes. Nan Ge has already seen it yesterday.” Shen Yanqing had always been a man of his word.
“I’m not free recently. Let’s talk about it in a couple of days.”
“Alright. Contact me when you’re free.”
The two of them hung up.
Nan Zhe had always liked to be perfunctory. The words “in a couple of days” and “see you next time” he said were completely different from what he meant.
Shen Yanqing was used to it, so he did not think that he would have the chance to see the busy President Nan this week.
He did not bear much hope. He was still thinking that the next time he returned to the old residence, he should bring the family tree back first. He would take it out for Nan Zhe to see next time.
Technically, “in a couple of days” meant Monday. Surprisingly on Wednesday evening, he was about to get off work to buy desserts for Nan Ge when he received a call from Nan Zhe.
“Are you free?”
Shen Yanqing looked at the navigation system that he had just turned on. He was silent for a moment before saying, “I’m free in about an hour and a half.”
“Is Huasheng Group going bankrupt? Do you have to work so hard? Even if you don’t care about yourself, you have to consider your employees, right? Are your employees going to scold you to death behind your back?”
When he finally shut up, Shen Yanqing took the opportunity to explain, “I’m not working overtime. There’s a new dessert shop in Songbei. I heard it’s not bad. I’m going to buy desserts for Nan Ge.”
Nan Zhe, ‘
“Alright.” He was defeated. “Then after you’re done buying dessert, come out with me for a drink.”
“Sure.”
“You can choose a place. You’re familiar with Huai City.”
“Okay, I’ll send you the address.”
As expected of a dessert store popular online, Shen Yanqing queued for 40 minutes.
Fortunately, he did not tell Nan Zhe to meet in an hour. It was hard for him to arrive in an hour and a half even.
When he arrived at Huai University’s dormitory, Nan Ge was already waiting for him downstairs.
Seeing his car, Nan Ge hurriedly ran over.
“I bought two more. These two bags are milk tea. Share them with your roommates.”
“Okay!” Nan Ge took them. Her hands were filled with stuff. “Do you have anything else to do tonight?”
“Yes, I’m meeting your brother for a while.”
“Ah.” Nan Ge nodded. In the next second, she suddenly raised her head. “My brother???”
She could not hide the surprise in her tone.
“Yes.” Shen Yanqing smiled and hugged her. “We’re just chatting. Alright, go up quickly. If I end up late, your brother will deduct points from me again.”
This was quite important. Nan Ge tried her best to wave at him, but she reminded him worriedly, “Then remember to call me if he makes things difficult for you.”
“Just go up.”
Shen Yanqing watched her enter the door. Just as he was about to turn around, he saw Nan Ge poke her head out from behind the door again. He smiled and raised his hand, waving it in the air.
After Nan Ge went up, Shen Yanqing left.
Fortunately, the place he had agreed on with Nan Zhe was not far from Huai University. It was only a ten-minute journey without a traffic jam.
When he arrived, Nan Zhe was already drinking.
Seeing his figure from the corner of his eye, Nan Zhe put down his wine glass and pointed at his watch.
“Sorry, there was a traffic jam on the way back.”
The evening rush hour in Huai City was as troublesome as ever. Nan Zhe snorted with a mocking smile, but he did not pester him.
“What kind of place did you choose?”
He pointed at the environment downstairs and felt that it was ridiculous.
Their location was in front of the fence on the second floor. The surroundings were very quiet.
In the middle of the first floor below was a flowing stream and a rockery.
Nan Zhe retracted his gaze in disdain, but when he looked up and saw Shen Yanqing, he thought about it. This was indeed a place that this person would come to.
However, when he said he was going out for a drink, he meant a bar!
It was so quiet here. Other than the sound of water downstairs, there was no other sound.
He could not even see anyone.
Moreover, Shen Yanqing had booked a private room inside. It was quieter inside, and the table was filled with tea sets.
When he first arrived, he asked if there was wine here. In the end, the other party said that this was a tea room, but if he wanted to drink, he could buy it for him.
He was bored from waiting inside, so he took the wine that the tea room staff had bought and sat outside to drink first.
“I wanted to choose a place you like, but I felt that it was not suitable for conversation.” Shen Yanqing adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said seriously, “Besides, I don’t drink, so I can only drink tea in place of wine with you. ”
Nan Zhe, “…” If you can’t drink, why did you promise me?!
Two minutes later, the two of them returned to the private room.
Nan Zhe looked at the tea that Shen Yanqing had prepared for him. He wanted to say something but hesitated. He lowered his head and looked at the beer bottle in his hand.
He hesitated and did not dare to raise his head.
He knew it. It was better to find a younger brother-in-law..
