Chapter 9 I like traditional women

Shen Dai parked the car, took off her spare flat soles and put on stiletto heels, then worried about her phone.

Xu Xing will be very disappointed to be told that the sweet date that was just set up last night has been ruined this morning, right?

Fortunately, my mother only stayed in Beijing for three nights, and flew back to Hangzhou early on Saturday morning, so as not to delay their weekend Valentine's Day.

"Xu Xing, my mother's school temporarily arranged for her to come to Beijing, and I have to accompany her from today until Saturday morning." After answering the phone, Shen Dai leaned back in her chair, helplessly and anxiously notifying her boyfriend.

Xu Xing paused for two seconds before asking: "What is Auntie here for?"

"Art exchange is actually public-funded tourism. The serious exchange time is at most one hour, and then it is to visit the scenic spots, talk about it, have a big meal, and go back to each house after the meal." Shen Dai has participated in many cultural activities with her mother, and also went to foreign cities. After a few times, she summed up cultural exchanges by eating, drinking and having fun, and watching media reports at home, it became a tall and meaningful thing.

Xu Xing has seen photos and paintings of Shen Dai's mother, she is a very temperamental Jiangnan woman, beautiful and generous, she looks ten years younger than her real age.They are outstanding, so outstanding that people feel that they are unattainable. In terms of temperament, Shen Su is more like her mother, colder than her mother. Shen Dai is like her father, beautiful but also approachable.

"Does Aunt know that you have a boyfriend?" Looking at the cute smile of his girlfriend on the computer screen, Xu Xing asked casually.

Shen Dai hummed.

When I was in college, my studies were important, and I secretly had two relationships. I didn't tell my parents, but only my sister. After graduation, my mother asked again, and Shen Dai couldn't help but tell the truth.

"What does Auntie think of me?" Xu Xing clicked on an app newly developed by the company, and casually checked the online status.

Shen Dai checked her makeup in the mirror, and praised him playfully, "Tell me you are handsome, let me take care of it, and don't let people abduct you."

"Sweet words can't change the fact that you will abandon me for three days." Xu Xing was not fooled, and hit the nail on the head.

Shen Dai felt guilty and coaxed in a low voice: "I don't want to either, why don't you come over to accompany my mother?"

Xu Xing knew that she was joking, the two of them spent too little time together, he could see her parents anytime, she was definitely not ready yet.

"Double compensate me on weekends." Lowering his voice, Xu Xing had a deep meaning.

These words were full of power, Shen Dai couldn't resist, she blushed and her heartbeat ended the conversation.

When she came to Dongying, Shen Dai's short one-year work experience could be ignored. The team leader Yu Youmi asked her to go to the office for a chat, and handed her over to Qiao Yu who was interviewing her.According to the usual practice, Shen Dai must work as a costumer for a period of time and become familiar with the operation process of the costume department before she can formally work as a costume designer.

Shen Dai wasn't disappointed. Among the designers here, there were at least six film and television productions. She was a rookie, so why did she sit in the same seat as them when she first joined Dongying?And this arrangement made Shen Dai feel more at ease. It seemed that Lu Chi really didn't intend to give her special care, and Shen Dai could face her colleagues with a clear conscience.

"Shen Dai, how do you and your boyfriend plan to spend Qixi Festival?" Qiao Yu asked Shen Dai curiously during lunch.

Shen Dai pretended to think about it seriously, "Eat and watch a movie, that's about it."

Qiao Yu was very disappointed, and reprimanded, "Your boyfriend is really not romantic. If I have a girlfriend as beautiful as you, I should take you out to play. Romance is enough during the day, and staying in a hotel at night, it is logical..."

Shen Dai's face was flushed, and she stared at her with peach eyes, "Don't talk nonsense."

Qiao Yu laughed, her phone vibrated, she clicked on WeChat, her eyes suddenly lit up, and excitedly raised the phone in front of Shen Dai, "Look!"

Shen Dai looked over suspiciously. In the photo, Lu Chi was standing in front of his Cayenne, facing the camera sideways with a stern face.

Shen Dai was used to seeing Lu Chi, and she wasn't as fussy as Qiao Yu, but her attention was attracted by the man who opened the car door for him.With a handsome appearance and a bright smile, isn't he just the sunny and handsome man who took care of Lu Chi's house?Below is a photo of Lu Chi walking out of the building, which should have been captured by an employee of Dongying and sent to Qiao Yu.

"Our Boss Lu is really handsome, but it's a pity that he said at the press conference that he won't be an actor." Qiao Yu took back her phone and stared at the photo with a nympho.

Shen Dai didn't answer, she just lowered her head to eat.

Qiao Yu finally realized what was wrong, and looked at her like an alien, "Why are you not excited at all?"

Shen Dai took a sip of the soup, raised her eyes and asked, "What are you excited about?"

"Boss Lu!" Qiao Yu gave her a questioning look.

Shen Dai said oh, then smiled suddenly, "My boyfriend is more handsome than him."

Qiao Yu was stunned for a moment by the sweet smile, and then suddenly grabbed the phone: "Hey, 110, someone abuses a dog here!"

Shen Dai smiled without saying a word, and Qiao Yu's cell phone rang again.

Qiao Yu flipped through WeChat, smiled after being amazed, and raised it in front of Shen Dai again, "Is your boyfriend also more handsome than him?"

Shen Dai looked up, and unexpectedly met a familiar smiling face.

That was Sheng Jiahe, the male god of the showbiz who has become popular in the past three years. When he was a junior at Beijing Film Academy, he was spotted by a famous director and starred in the classic war film "Xiangjiang". Another "walking hormone".In the photo, Sheng Jiahe was standing in the Dongying VIP elevator, with his manager beside him. The elevator door was half closed, Sheng Jiahe was talking to the manager with a smile, and his black eyes swept toward the hall with a sense of consciousness.

"It doesn't matter how handsome you are, it doesn't matter to us." Shen Dai took another sip of soup and picked up a face towel to wipe.

Qiao Yu regarded her as the type who was devoted to her boyfriend, and she stopped being an idiot and started talking about business, "You know Sheng Jiahe's new drama, right?"

Shen Dai nodded. The popular TV series "The Regent" is another masterpiece of Dongying.

"The filming will start at the end of the month, and next week I have to take care of the costumes. Depending on the arrangement of the team leader, maybe you will join me in the team." Qiao Yu threw out a big news mysteriously, and gave Shen Dai an encouraging shot , "If you can really enter the group, you are very lucky, and you will be able to meet first-line stars as soon as you come."

Because of Sheng Jiahe, Shen Dai remained calm, "It's really done, I'll treat you to dinner."

Shen Dai was looking forward to joining the group. "The Regent" had a top-notch cast, and the costumes of the main actors were all made by them. It was a good learning opportunity for her to observe closely.Although the existence of Sheng Jiahe made this expectation a little weaker, but everyone in the same circle will meet each other sooner or later.

She wasn't even afraid of Lu Chi, but would she be afraid of an ex-boyfriend who she dumped after less than half a month of dating?

In such a short time, Sheng Jiahe might have forgotten her long ago.

After getting off work on time in the afternoon, Shen Dai received a call from her mother when she rushed to the elevator.

"How soon will you be back?"

"15 minutes, mom, wait for me, I'll go shopping with you." Shen Dai hurriedly said, she hasn't been back to Hangzhou for half a year, she misses her mother very much.

"No, I'm at the mall, Lu Chi accompanied me here, you go home and wait."

In the noisy voice, the phone was hung up over there.

Shen Dai put down her phone depressedly.

My mother is Lu Chi's grandma's proud student, the kind who is very proud, and she is like a sister to Lu Chi's mother. When Lu Chi was born, my mother accompanied him to the hospital. To put it mildly, Shen Dai was not pregnant yet. My mother has already coaxed Lu Chi in her arms, and she has three years more affection for Lu Chi than she does!

Later, when Lu Chi's mother passed away, his mother felt sorry for Lu Chi, and when she came back from a business trip, the gift would never go to Lu Chi.

Look, now that Lu Chi is going shopping with her, who is her real child?

And Lu Chi, isn't he the CEO, why is he so idle?
When she got home, Shen Dai changed her clothes first. Underneath was still hot pants, and on top was a white T-shirt with a koala Q picture printed on it. At home, she could wear whatever was comfortable.

Looking through the gifts her mother brought over, they were all Hangzhou specialties. There was a plate of washed lychees on the coffee table, Shen Dai turned on the TV, and leaned on the sofa to peel the lychees and eat them.

The door was pushed open, and Shen Dai had just put a lychee into her mouth. Anyway, there was no outsider, so she greeted her happily, "Mom, you're back!"

Vague.

Shen's mother was wearing a cheongsam. She expected her daughter's dress up, but she didn't expect her daughter to have something bulging in her mouth. She couldn't help but pat the little girl's arm, "Let's talk after eating. Lu Chi is here. Disgraceful."

Shen Dai obediently withdrew her arm that was about to hug her mother, stood upright, and nodded respectfully to Lu Chi who was carrying a few shopping mall bags behind: "Hello, Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu has worked hard."

The daughter can play tricks, Shen's mother burst into laughter, and turned to look at Lu Chi.

Lu Chi twitched the corners of his mouth, separated two bags, and raised his chin with the rest towards the kitchen, "I'll put it in the kitchen first."

"Well, I'm going to change the apron." Shen's mother was about to cook, and ordered her daughter by the way, "Go and clean up the lotus root and make honey candied lotus root."

This is Shen Dai's favorite food. Hearing this, she spit out the lychee core and followed Lu Chi into the kitchen.

"Tired from work?" Lu Chi took out the lotus root from the plastic bag and handed it to her.

"I'm not tired. It's just a familiarization stage now. It's quite relaxing." There are four lotus roots in total. Shen Dai took a basin and put them aside, put all the lotus roots in the sink, and lowered her head to wash them carefully.From the corner of his eyes, seeing Lu Chi take out six hairy crabs and a bag of river prawns one after another, he couldn't help but say with acid: "Today, I'm really in your shoes."

"I'll treat you when your sister comes back." Lu Chi arranged his things, walked to her side, turned the faucet to his side, and washed his hands.

Those hands were fair and slender, several times bigger than Shen Dai's, Shen Dai took a second look.

"Daibao, are your sister and the others quarreling again? I said that when I came to Beijing, your sister wouldn't let me call your brother-in-law. Why did you quarrel this time?" Shen's mother didn't treat Lu Chi as an outsider, and talked about family affairs So he had no scruples, thinking that his daughter and son-in-law were just playing tricks.

Lu Chi looked at Shen Dai unexpectedly.

Shen Dai winked quietly, and then perfunctory her mother, "A quarrel? Why didn't I know? I didn't hear what my sister said."

Beating a child and getting a divorce are a big blow to the two elders. My sister plans to go back to Hangzhou to make it clear in person, and ask her not to reveal her secrets.

Shen's mother sighed, the two daughters are grown up, they report good news outside but not bad ones, many things are kept from her, and there is no way to control them.

"Lu Chi, go sit in the living room, I don't need your help here." Seeing that Lu Chi wanted to help wash the river prawns, Shen's mother hurriedly stopped him.

Lu Chi reluctantly returned to the living room.

Shen Dai's cell phone was placed on the sofa, it vibrated twice suddenly, and a text message came.The screen was turned on, and the screen saver was Xu Xing's photo. The man was sitting in front of the computer in a gray shirt, concentrating on it, as if he was posing deliberately.

A picture of Shen Dai secretly taking pictures of her boyfriend appeared in front of her eyes. Lu Chi turned his head to the kitchen, stretched out his left hand, and turned his phone to the reverse side.

After sitting for a while, he went to the kitchen again, looked in Qiqi and smiled wryly at her mother and daughter, "It's boring to sit alone, I want to hear your aunt and you chatting about family affairs."

Shen Dai lowered her head.His mother treated Lu Chi better than her, and Lu Chi treated his mother better than her. Lu Chi never took the initiative to approach her when he had a puppy love before.

"Then help Daibao stuff the glutinous rice." Shen's mother felt sorry for Lu Chi's loneliness, and also understood that Lu Chi did not have a deep relationship with the Lu family. Except for them, before marriage, I am afraid that I will never feel the warmth of home again. up.

Lu Chi stood next to Shen Dai, and the two stood in the corner, while Shen's mother was busy there.

"Here you are." Shen Dai handed him the freshly cut lotus root.

Lu Chi took it, skillfully stuffed glutinous rice into it with chopsticks, and gestured like he was completing a work of art.

Shen's mother saw it funny, thought of something, and asked him affectionately: "Lu Chi, Dai Bao has a boyfriend who is younger than you. You have been in the United States for so many years, have you talked about a few?" Status, and can cook, it should be very feminine, right?
Shen Dai was cutting another section of lotus root, she paused when she heard this.

What does Lu Chi look like when he is really in love?
Shen Dai couldn't imagine it at all.

"The people over there are too open, I like the traditional ones." Lu Chi euphemistically expressed his love request.

So after many years, Shen Dai finally understood why Lu Chi didn't like her.

She's not traditional enough, like back then, but she kissed Lu Chi first.
