"We can chat. " Xie Chenjin's mother looked at Du Anran.
"Auntie, I... "
"Okay, let's chat together. " Xie Chenjin interrupted du Anran and pinched her waist.
"Chenjin, you haven't introduced her to me. "
"Her name is Du Anran. She grew up in city a and studied at a university in Germany. She is a talented journalism student and now works at Shaonan's newspaper company. "
Du Anran knew that he was lying to his mother when she heard his introduction. She had resigned from the newspaper company a long time ago.
"Not bad. Are The parents at home well? " Xie Chenjin's mother asked with a smile and a kind face.
She did not know much about Du Anran, nor did she know that she was once the daughter of Shihe. She also did not know that she had a scandal with Xin Zimo. In fact, she did not even know who Xin Zimo was.
"My father passed away a few years ago. My mother and I are living together, " Du Anran replied.
"Mother, are you still satisfied? Are you fated? If you think it's good, then I dare to show it to grandma, " Xie Chenjin said.
Du Anran felt that this development was getting out of hand. What was Xie Chenjin trying to do?
"Good, not bad. I think it's very good. " Xie Chenjin's mother looked really satisfied. "If you have time, you can invite Miss Du over. "
"Of course. I'm relieved to hear that from you. " Xie Chenjin curled his lips and glanced at Du Anran.
"It's our first time meeting. I brought a small gift. Miss Du, don't mind it. " Xie Chenjin's mother took out a small box from her handbag.
"Mom, you're so polite. Why didn't you give me a gift? " Xie Chenjin smiled.
"I like girls. " Xie Chenjin's mother rolled her eyes at him.
She opened the box. It turned out to be an exquisite brooch. The shape of the leaf was inlaid with pearls and blue gemstones. The lines were smooth and shiny.
"Mom, how did you know that Anran likes blue? " Xie Chenjin smiled when he saw the blue gemstone.
"Auntie, this is too expensive. I can't afford it. " Du Anran declined.
It wasn't that she couldn't afford it, it was that she couldn't accept it.
"Take it. I picked it carefully and spent the whole morning! I didn't expect you to like blue. Then my efforts were not in vain. " Xie Chenjin's mother looked very happy.
"Auntie, no, I can't take it... " Du Anran still declined.
"If I ask you to take it, then take it! " Xie Chenjin glared at Du Anran, a little dissatisfied.
Du Anran knew that she was riding a tiger. Forget it, take it. She would return it to Xie Chenjin after Xie Chenjin's mother left.
Du Anran thought about it and took the box with a peace of mind.
However, Xie Chenjin seemed to have seen through du Anran's thoughts. He took out the brooch from the box and pinned it on the collar of Du Anran's coat. There was an indescribable gentleness in his eyes, and even his movements were so careful.
After bidding farewell, he raised his head and met Du Anran's eyes. "You've received a gift from our family. You'll be our daughter-in-law from now on. "
"What nonsense are you talking about! " Du Anran said angrily. Xie Chenjin did not drink alcohol. He only drank a cup of coffee. Could it be that coffee was intoxicating?
"Chenjin, don't scare the lady. It's just a welcome gift. " This was the first time Xie Chenjin's mother had seen Xie Chenjin so serious. She had raised her son for more than 20 years. How could she not understand that Xie Chenjin was sincere this time.
"Just take it that I'm spouting nonsense. " Xie Chenjin looked at Du Anran, but he still could not shift his gaze away.
Du Anran could not understand Xie Chenjin. Wasn't he just acting What was he doing now It seemed that she did not need to cooperate anymore... ...
However, in order to find the anonymous sender of the text message, she endured it.
After finally accompanying Xie Chenjin and his mother to finish their snacks and tea, she stood side by side with Xie Chenjin and sent off Xie Chenjin's mother.
Once Xie Chenjin's mother left, Du Anran prepared to take off the brooch. It was such an expensive item. If she bumped it, she would have to pay for it.
"You're not allowed to take it off! " Xie Chenjin held her hand with a fierce expression.
"Auntie gave it to the wrong person. I'm not your girlfriend. "
"Do you think you can escape? Even if you're not, YOU HAVE TO BE! "
"What's the big deal? I'll go and explain to Auntie. Xie Chenjin, don't forget, I'm Xin Zimo's woman. " Du Anran looked at him. She did not know what was wrong with him today.
Du Anran's words pulled Xie Chenjin out of the atmosphere just now. He... ... What's wrong ...
However, he still said, "if you dare to look for my mother in private, don't think that I'll help you find the sender of the message! "
He sat in his Bentley and left without looking back.
"Hey, Xie Chenjin, you didn't keep your word! Hey, wait for me! " Du Anran chased after him, but how could she catch up with the Bentley.
In her impression, Xie Chenjin's biggest advantage was that he kept his word, but this time, he actually went back on his word!
Du Anran was the only one left on the roadside. She sighed helplessly and turned to look at the coffee shop. The artistic words "city of Lou Lan" were like quiet water lilies, outlining the smooth lines.
"Sister Anran, come and help me pick out a wedding dress... " Du Anran suddenly received a call from Liu Wanwan.
"Ah? So soon? I haven't seen my parents yet, have I? " Du Anran was shocked by Liu Wanwan's words.
"Pick in advance. Besides, there's no suspense about meeting my parents! " Liu Wanwan sounded very happy.
"Then it's better to let Sun Ping accompany you to pick out a wedding dress... "
"He's so busy. Whether he can find time to take wedding photos with me is a problem. " Liu Wanwan was a little dissatisfied.
"wedding photos are such an important matter. If I don't find time to take them with you, don't tell me I have to photocopy them? " Du Anran smiled.
"That's why I have to pick out the wedding dress first. When he has the time, we will go take it. I heard from him that he probably won't have the time for the next month. I really don't know how much work your beast has given Sun Ping... "
"I guess if he really has nothing to do, Sun Ping won't be used to it! "
"seeing that Sun Ping has worked so hard for the Xin Corporation, as the future young mistress of the Xin family, you should obediently accompany me to pick out the wedding dress! "
When du Anran heard Liu Wanwan mention the words "young mistress" , she couldn't help but feel a little lonely. Sun Ping would tell Liu Wanwan some things, but he would definitely not tell her some things, such as asking her to leave Xin Zimo.
"Wait for me, I'll accompany you to take a look. "
In a 20-story shopping mall, the lights were bright and the Diamond Chandelier was sparkling. Because it was a weekend, there were especially many people. The eighth floor was the wedding dress area. Compared to the hustle and bustle on the other floors, it seemed a little cold here.
However, most of the people who came here to buy wedding dresses were either rich or noble. Liu Wanwan did not want to buy a wedding dress that was too expensive at first. She thought that she would only wear it once in her lifetime, so she could not help but waste it.
However, Sun Ping insisted on letting her buy it. He said that since she would only wear it once in her lifetime, how could she not buy a beautiful one? How could she let down this one and only time.
Liu Wanwan felt that what he said made sense. However, the key point was that Sun Ping took out a credit card very straightforwardly and let her swipe it herself.
In this way, Liu Wanwan did not need to be polite with him. She should buy as many pieces as she could!
When du Anran came over, Liu Wanwan had already picked a white wedding dress with slanted shoulders. When du Anran stood in the distance and saw her, she was a little absent-minded. This girl whom she had played with since young was about to get married.
"SISTER ANRAN! Does this look good? " Liu Wanwan saw that Du Anran was here, so she ran over happily in a pair of high heels.
Du Anran looked her up and down and nodded. "It looks good. When the time comes, you'll look even better with your hair tied up! "
"Sister Anran, do you want to try it together? I think you'll have to come over sooner or later! " Liu Wanwan smiled.
This was the most famous wedding dress center in City A, but du Anran shook her head. "The wedding dress I bought last time is still here. "
That's right, the wedding dress she bought last time was only worn during the wedding photo shoot, and it had been in the closet ever since. She didn't know if she would have the chance to wear it again... ...
"I don't want the wedding dress I bought last time, don't worry about the money. Isn't buying a new one a drop in the ocean for that beast You're still saving money for him Let me tell you, a woman has to watch her man's money carefully and spend what she should spend, otherwise, she might let some mistress have it... ... ..
"Wanwan, I didn't expect you to not be married yet. You've collected quite a lot of big ideas... " Du Anran laughed loudly.
"This is a matter of experience. " Liu Wanwan was serious.
"When you get married, you must make Sun Ping hand in the Treasury. Not a single card, not a single cent less. " Du Anran teased her.
"That's for sure, sister Anran. I can rest assured about Sun Ping! "
"You're already speaking up for him before you even married him. " Du Anran laughed.
In fact, even without Liu Wanwan's words, she was quite assured about Sun Ping. Based on his loyalty to the Xin Corporation, he would definitely treat Liu Wanwan very well.
"Sister Anran, quickly help me choose. My eyes are dazzled. Every one of them is very beautiful. No wonder people say that women in wedding gowns are the most beautiful. " Liu Wanwan pulled on Du Anran, wishing she could try on all the wedding gowns in the shop.
"Why don't you buy a few more. When the time comes, you can change one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one in the evening. If it doesn't work, we can change one in an hour! " Du Anran laughed.
"Sister Anran, you're making fun of me again! " Liu Wanwan said angrily.
Du Anran helped Liu Wanwan look through the entire eighth floor. They continued to choose until eight o'clock in the evening. Du Anran was so hungry that she was dizzy.
Liu wanwan tried on one piece after another. Du Anran saw that in the end, only white was left in front of her eyes.
In the end, Du Anran even accompanied Liu Wanwan to try on wedding shoes and dresses.
When they were finally done, Du Anran and Liu Wanwan were carrying large and small bags in their hands.
"Wanwan, I'm so hungry that I don't have any strength left... " Du Anran weakly held the elevator.
"soon, we're almost downstairs. I'll get Sun Ping to pick us up. " Liu Wanwan was in high spirits. Her face was full of excitement and did not look tired at all.
Du Anran could understand Liu Wanwan's feelings. Which woman would be unhappy when trying on a wedding dress? Moreover, even if it was just an ordinary shopping trip, she would still be happy for a long time.
"How are you going to reward me... I've been risking my life to accompany a gentleman for the better part of the day... " Du Anran could barely stand ...
"Sister Anran, I'll get Sun Ping to treat you to a big meal! How about it? You can choose from all of city a! "
"No... I can't be bought over so easily... "
"Then I'll come with you the next time you choose a wedding dress? " Liu Wanwan blinked.
"No... I need to get some real benefits... " Du Anran wouldn't let her off so easily ...
