Quan Shao Chases His Wife, Secret Love in a Great Marriage

Chapter 261 Don't talk while eating
When it was time to eat dinner, Shen Bei'er came back.He rushed in from outside with a small bag on his shoulders, and saw that Xue Xiyu was the only one in the hall, so he called out, "Mom, brother, are you taking that woman away?"

As soon as the words fell, Su Siqi came out of the bathroom, and the two of them met with big eyes. Xue Xiyu was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly smiled to smooth things over: "Miss Su, this is Meng Qing's younger sister. You can call her Belle." All right."

Su Siqi pretended she didn't hear the previous sentence, and greeted Shen Bei'er with a smile all over her face: "Hi, Bei'er, I've heard that Meng Qing has a beautiful younger sister, and seeing her today really lives up to her reputation."

Shen Bei'er looked her up and down, with a hint of contempt on her lips: "It's useless for you to flatter me, I can't decide what happens between you and my brother."

Su Siqi didn't expect Shen Bei'er to be so direct, she couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, and stood there with a embarrassed expression.

Xue Xiyu felt a little helpless, she knew the virtues of her daughter very well, so she could only smile apologetically to Su Siqi: "Bei Er can't talk with her head, Miss Su, don't take it to heart!"

When she stepped down a step, Su Siqi immediately acted like a normal person, "It's nothing, Belle is just playing with me."

"Who's playing with you?" Shen Bei'er curled her lips: "I admire you for staying to eat with the cheek. Don't you see whether you are liked or not?"

Seeing that her daughter's words became more and more disrespectful, Xue Xiyu scolded her in a low voice: "Bei Er, Miss Su is a guest!"

"It's okay," Su Siqi forced a smile, walked to the side, and avoided if she couldn't provoke her.

Shen Beier asked: "Where are my father and brother?"

"They're in the study." Xue Xiyu said, "You ask them to come down for dinner."

Shen Beier responded and ran upstairs quickly.Seeing her go upstairs, Su Siqi said, "Auntie, shall I help?"

"No, you are a guest, please take a seat, then let the servant do the work first."

Su Siqi saw the servants coming out with meals, and knew that she couldn't help, it seemed inappropriate for her to help such a decent family.She had no choice but to sit gracefully. She insisted on staying because she wanted to meet Shen Beier and get another helper. She thought that everyone was young and it would be easy to build a good relationship.If she is a hedgehog, then Shen Beier is a thorn!
Soon, the three people upstairs came down together, Shen Mengqing walked in front, Shen Beier held Shen Mingru's arm, and smiled sweetly.The three of them are clearly in the same frame, but they have two styles of painting. Shen Mengqing in the front appears indifferent and distant, while Shen Mingru and Shen Beier in the back are very close.

It wasn't until seeing her that Shen Mengqing showed a smile, went to sit beside her, and asked in a low voice, "Did Belle target you just now?"

"No," Su Siqi shook her head, "We just said hello."

The dining places of the Shen family are ordered, Shen Mingru sits at the top, Xue Xiyu and Shen Beier are on the right, Shen Mengqing and Su Siqi are on the left.Shen Mingru raised the wine glass first: "It's rare that there are so many people together, let's have a drink."

So everyone stood up, raised their glasses and clinked them lightly. Su Siqi didn't know if she was too sensitive, except for Shen Mengqing and Xue Xiyu who clinked glasses with her, Shen Mingru just pretended to be, and Shen Beier There was no intention of clinking glasses with her at all.Her hands froze in mid-air, which was not awkward, but she reacted quickly and covered up the embarrassment by drinking.

It was very quiet during the meal, and everyone behaved gracefully, except for Su Siqi, who tried not to make any noise, but she always felt awkward, eating was a habit, and she couldn't eat to her heart's content, she found it tasteless.

Once quiet, the atmosphere becomes a little weird. Shen Mingru's face is calm, with a kind of calmness and prestige that has been accumulated over the years. Shen Mengqing's face is expressionless, showing a strong aura in his indifference. He had an unruly face, occasionally meeting her eyes, full of contempt and provocation.

Su Siqi is a smart person, so naturally she would not compete with her.But this dull atmosphere really made her a little uncomfortable.So she picked up the wine glass and said to Shen Mingru, "Uncle, I offer you a toast and wish you good health."

Shen Mingru glanced at Shen Mengqing, and smiled calmly: "Thank you." He didn't raise his wine glass, but just took a sip.

Su Siqi smiled and said, "Uncle can do whatever he wants, I'll do it." After speaking, she raised her neck and poured the wine into her mouth.

Normally on such occasions, she always wins applause, but this time is different, the room is quiet, no one speaks, no one applauds, only Shen Mengqing gave her a gentle tug, "Sit down and eat."

Su Siqi was a little puzzled, shouldn't there be excitement at the dinner table?Although the old saying goes: don't talk when you eat, don't talk when you sleep.But they are in modern times, isn't this kind of atmosphere depressing?

She poured the wine again, "Let me toast Auntie again!"

Shen Mengqing finally couldn't help it, and said: "Auntie can't bear the alcohol, so let's get rid of it." Her hand was under her leg to keep her from moving.

Su Siqi felt the weight of that hand, so she knew that her actions just now should be inappropriate.

Shen Bei'er burst out laughing: "I didn't expect Ms. Su to drink quite well, what kind of work does she do?"

"I used to be in sales, and I often had to socialize, and I got a lot of alcohol while drinking."

"Oh," Shen Bei'er suddenly realized: "It turns out that Ms. Su used to accompany the wine? No wonder."

"Bei Er!" Shen Mengqing's voice was not loud, but her tone was not kind.

Shen Bei'er stuck out her tongue, smiled and said to Su Siqi: "I'm sorry, Miss Su, don't mind, I often speak out of my mind."

Su Siqi didn't expect that she would take the initiative to apologize, but she was a little flattered, "It's okay, in fact, the entertainment is to accompany the wine, and the client will only sign the contract after drinking the wine."

A slightly chilly look swept across her face, Su Siqi quickly shut up, she felt that she was a little out of her wit, after all, it was the first time she met Shen Mengqing's parents, how could she say such inappropriate words?Those who don't know think how complicated her job is, especially for this kind of rich family, who are very taboo about such things.She had always looked down on her family background, if she was not innocent, it would be useless.

Probably Shen Mengqing's complexion was a bit ugly, Shen Bei'er didn't say anything, Su Siqi also kept quiet, lest she would say inappropriate words, and the atmosphere would become dull again.

There was dessert after the meal, it was bird's nest, it was delicious, Su Siqi couldn't hold back for a moment, and made a loud instigation, everyone looked up at her, she was so embarrassed that she blushed, she wished she could open a gap and get in immediately.

Everyone else had a silent expression, only Shen Bei'er laughed out loud, very loudly.

Xue Xiyu glanced at her reproachfully, and Shen Bei'er restrained herself a little.

In any case, this depressing meal was finally over.When Su Siqi stood up, she let out a long breath.

After the meal, Shen Mengqing took her out for a walk with the dog. When they got out of the big iron gate, Su Siqi wished she could spread her hoofs like Xueli.

She asked Shen Mengqing: "Why don't you talk when you eat?"

"Don't talk when you eat, don't talk when you sleep, don't you understand?"

"But I'm still a guest anyway," Su Siqi said, "I have to say some polite words, drink a glass of wine, and persuade me to do something."

"They don't like that."

Su Siqi looked at the big houses on both sides of the road, and asked, "Is it your family like this? Or is it like this in other people's homes? Why do rich people have to work so hard to eat?"

"I don't know about others, but it's about the same," Shen Mengqing said lightly: "This is the so-called upper class society, and we must abide by certain rules. When we were young, there were special people who taught us how to eat, how to walk, how to sit, How to stand, some rules and etiquette can't be wrong, otherwise you will be ridiculed."

"Oh my God!" Su Siqi exclaimed, "Wouldn't that be worse than going to jail?"

"I don't think so, everyone is like this, so I don't have much feeling."

Su Siqi patted his head: "Poor baby."

Shen Mengqing tilted her head to avoid her hand: "Don't touch my head."

"Why?" Su Siqi shouted at the top of her voice, "You keep touching me, why can't I touch..."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Mengqing covered his mouth, and the man glared at her angrily: "Miss Su, please speak fully, those who don't know think I'm hungry."

Su Siqi pursed her lips and muttered softly, "Aren't you hungry? One night..."

The man's eyes swept over her, she consciously stopped her voice, and smiled shyly: "Okay, finish the sentence, you keep touching my head, why can't I touch yours?"

"A man's head cannot be touched."

"why?"

"No reason, it has been passed down since ancient times."

"Old feudalism." Su Siqi took his arm and looked at the moon in the sky, "Does it mean that when I marry in, I have to learn to walk like your aunt, eat like that, and laugh like that?"

"You do not need."

"why?"

"We don't live with them."

"But you always have to be together during the holidays, and there are relative gatherings. Your family must have a lot of relatives, right?"

Shen Mengqing smiled, having more relatives is not a good thing, a family like his is just a condensed version of internal struggle, around the family property, intrigues, conspiracies and schemes emerge endlessly, those who lose are devastated, and those who win are flamboyant , but there are always people who are ruthless, waiting for an opportunity to make a comeback, or seek power and usurp the throne, or eat inside and outside.

From the grandfather's generation, it was hard work to win the right to inherit, but in the father's generation, it was naturally a lot of turmoil, fighting to the death, and only when the power is in control.So my father loved Aunt Xue so much, and he was only willing to have one child. If it was a boy, he would choose one of them to inherit. If it was a girl, he would naturally be the only one to inherit.Although his father didn't love him like Ai Beier, he spared no effort in nurturing him. That's why he dared to show his father with the notarial deed of renunciation of inheritance.

The woman's eyes were dark and shiny, with a faint trace of worry, Shen Mengqing smiled wryly in her heart, the silly woman was thinking too much.It is not easy to live in harmony with his parents and integrate into his family.

He patted her hand: "What are you afraid of? Didn't you say that the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge?"
