Chapter 359 Nan Jianlong Hosts a Family Dinner
Tian Yulan's biological father died of illness very early, and she was raised by her mother who worked as a caregiver.
Because she grew up in a single-parent family and was a pretty girl, Tian Yulan was often bullied at school.
After a long period of exploration, Tian Yulan gradually summed up two modes of getting along with people.
One is when facing an invincible power, such as a teacher, elder, leader, etc., she will behave particularly submissively, revealing her softest side and showing her harmlessness.
The other time is when facing the possibility of being harmed, such as classmates who steal seats in class, colleagues who are lazy at work, etc., she will act aggressively to protect her own interests from being violated by others.
Now, it seems that neither of these two models is suitable for blind date partners.
Therefore, Tian Yulan was also quietly testing the way the two of them would get along.
Su Mingzhe didn't know this.
He just felt that Tian Yulan in front of him was quite interesting, and seemed well-behaved and funny.
The two chatted for a few minutes, and then received a message from their friend 'Lao Jin':
"Meeting at 8 o'clock, everyone should be on time."
"It's past six now, and there's still more than an hour left."
Su Mingzhe looked at Tian Yulan who was still pretending to be clever and well behaved, and said with a smile: "It's still early, it's boring to stay at home, why don't we go shopping first?"
"Okay."
Tian Yulan did not reject the man's proposal.
Just like before, she would not refuse Su Mingzhe's proposal.
In fact, there are many interesting things to do when two people stay at home.
But Su Mingzhe and Tian Yulan had just met and didn't have many common topics, so it felt a bit boring.
The two arrived at the underground garage, and Su Mingzhe took Tian Yulan to a Mercedes-Benz.
Tian Yulan looked at the dozen or so sports cars of various types parked in the man's garage, then looked at the inconspicuous Mercedes-Benz, and asked in surprise:
"Why not drive a sports car?"
"Today is just a gathering with friends, not a place to pick up girls, why are you driving a sports car?"
Su Mingzhe’s words were a bit infuriating.
But this is indeed the truth.
Driving a sports car is indeed not convenient at all.
For example, this Lamborghini next to the Mercedes-Benz.
Lamborghini's models, like its logo, are in the shape of a bull's head.
Of course, some people say that it looks like a dung beetle, and it looks pretty cool anyway.
The chassis of this blue bikini is a bit low. When traveling, it cannot pass through slightly steep and broken roads.
Not only that, sometimes, when encountering a speed bump with a high amplitude, a sports car with a low ground will get stuck there and can only be pushed over.
Guo Xiaopeng once said in "Black Ice": "There are three most embarrassing things for men: shaking their watches, pushing cars, and throwing pens."
Those who have not experienced it cannot understand it.
No one likes to drive a sports car if it's not for the purpose of picking up girls.
On weekdays, Su Mingzhe rides a motorcycle to save trouble.
Nowadays, Su Mingzhe usually rides an electric scooter whenever he goes out for a distance of no more than three kilometers.
Su Mingzhe drove a Mercedes-Benz and brought Tian Yulan to the parking lot near "Lao Li BBQ".
It is close to Jing'an Park and there are many places for eating, drinking and having fun nearby.
Su Mingzhe was familiar with the place and took Tian Yulan to stroll in a nearby shopping mall.
The two of them walked around for a while, and Su Mingzhe casually bought the latest Nokia 7610 for Tian Yulan.
"The cell phones on the market nowadays are average, so I'll just have to make do with this one for now."
Su Mingzhe obviously looked down on the 05 mobile phones. He held Tian Yulan's hand and walked around for a while, then took her out of the electronic products area and into the clothing area.
Tian Yulan didn't say no or refuse.
The two are now blind dating, and it is normal for a man to buy gifts for a woman.
The difference is that ordinary people only spend a few hundred dollars at most when buying things, and a thousand dollars is enough.
The gifts Su Mingzhe bought for Tian Yulan included a mobile phone worth several thousand yuan, clothes worth several thousand yuan, and cosmetics worth several thousand yuan.
After the two of them went around, there were seven or eight more bags with their mobile phones.
Su Mingzhe originally wanted to buy a bag for Tian Yulan, but there was not enough time.
"Let's come again tomorrow when you get off work."
"Ah."
Tian Yulan still did not reject the man's proposal.
She was really well-behaved today. She never refused a man once.
Afterwards, with only ten minutes left before the party time, the two came to Lao Li BBQ.
Lao Li BBQ is an open-air roadside barbecue with a rectangular table that can seat up to six people.
Su Mingzhe and Tian Yulan arrived first, put the things in the car, and started ordering food.
When my friends Lao Jin, Yan Peng and others came over, they immediately surrounded the table.
"This is my sister-in-law, right?"
Lao Jin was the host today. He smiled and stretched out his hand, wanting to shake hands with Tian Yulan.
"Fuck off!"
Su Mingzhe slapped his hand aside in annoyance: "This is my girlfriend, stop trying to get close to her with those nightclub tricks."
"No, no."
Old Jin sat down with a smile, and then introduced himself: "Sister-in-law, my name is Jin Dongxi, you can just call me Old Jin."
"My name is Yan Peng. You can call me Lao Yan or Da Peng."
Unlike the shameless Lao Jin, Yan Peng is a little more shy, but this guy actually stretched out his hand and wanted to shake hands.
Su Mingzhe glared at the boy. He said, "Don't think that just because we have a good relationship, you dare to take advantage of me so obviously."
Tian Yulan finally sat down. In addition to Su Mingzhe, Yan Peng, and Jin Dongxi, a few minutes later, another person named Xia Yuan and another named Zhao Zhenkai came to the table. They were both Su Mingzhe's friends and came from similar families.
Jin Dongxi's family started out in the decoration business, and now they are involved in all walks of life and are worth billions.
Yan Peng's family used to be contractors. Later, Yan's father opened a processing plant and also owned several shops in the city. His net worth is definitely over 10 billion.
Xia Yuan's family is in the logistics business and they own a logistics park in Shanghai. Their net worth is at least over 10 billion.
Zhao Zhenkai's family makes rosewood furniture and has its own rosewood furniture factory in Haimen in the north. His net worth is almost over 10 billion.
Su Mingzhe introduced his friends to Tian Yulan.
The reason why we have been able to play together since childhood is also because our family conditions are similar.
If one company's business exceeds that of others, or lags behind others, it will naturally fade out of this circle.
It’s not that people will exclude anyone, or that the world is cold and indifferent.
But everyone's level is on the same level, so they can get along more happily.
Having said that.
Su Mingzhe is now getting along pretty well with these four childhood friends.
But ten years later, he became the richest man in the world, with a net worth that was hundreds or thousands of times greater than those four people.
How can these four childhood friends still have the nerve to eat, drink and have fun together every day?
This is the fickleness of human nature and a natural social phenomenon.
After a small barbecue, the other four people went to the next one.
Su Mingzhe won't go.
He hasn't been to nightclubs or bars to pick up girls for a long time.
After sending Tian Yulan home, Su Mingzhe also went home to rest.
the next day.
Tian Yulan is going to work at the mall.
Su Mingzhe stayed at home and started to busy himself with his own things.
In the last life, I was busy studying medical skills, and my research on artificial intelligence came to a standstill.
He wants to pick up this world again.
In a blink of an eye, it was time for Tian Yulan to rest again.
Su Mingzhe brought Tian Yulan back to Nan Jianlong's home. This was their first visit to the "Yue family" after the successful blind date.
I don’t know if Nan Jianlong is stupid or not.
He knew that Nan Li and Tian Yulan were not on good terms, and he knew that Su Mingzhe had pursued Nan Li for many years but was rejected.
When Su Mingzhe and Tian Yulan confirmed their relationship, they actually called Nan Li over.
What does this mean?
Su Mingzhe looked at Nan Jianlong's smiling face, and he kept urging him to eat and drink. He felt endless resentment in his heart:
"Lao Nan, you were the one who acted dishonestly this time. You can't blame me."
Nan Li doesn't know yet that she has been betrayed by her own father.
After the family dinner, everyone started to busy themselves with their own things.
It's the second week.
After the two had been dating for half a month, Su Mingzhe turned Tian Yulan down.
In a blink of an eye, July has passed.
Mid-August is almost here.
That day, Su Mingzhe took Tian Yulan home.
Today is my younger sister Su Qing’s birthday.
Su Mingzhe's father was an old man when he had a daughter. He was nearly 40 years old when he had this daughter. Naturally, he loved her very much.
As Su Qing's biological mother, Nanlan usually invites her relatives to celebrate her daughter's birthday.
When Su Mingzhe brought Tian Yulan home, the house had already been decorated, with all kinds of pink balloons, fluorescent lights, colored paper cutouts, etc. everywhere.
When the little girl Su Qing heard the door open, she jumped over:
"Brother is back."
"Little sister!"
Su Mingzhe picked up his half-sister and kissed her little face.
Tian Yulan was not an outsider either, as she knew both Nanlan and Su Qing.
"Auntie Lan, isn't my dad home?"
Su Mingzhe carried his little sister to the living room and found that his biological father Su Quanfang was not there.
"Your dad said he might get off work late today."
Although Nan Lan is Nan Jianlong's cousin, she is not very old. She has been married for ten years and is only 32 years old this year.
Nanlan didn't chat much with Su Mingzhe on weekdays, but today, with Tian Yulan around, she simply pulled this "cheap niece" aside to chat.
Su Mingzhe held his little sister in his arms and started chatting with her like a brother.
Su Qing stared with her big black eyes and asked her elder brother curiously:
"Brother, Mom said that you and Sister Lan are in love, and I will call Sister Lan sister-in-law from now on. Is this true?"
"it is true."
Su Mingzhe nodded.
Su Qing immediately showed a look of contempt on her face:
"Brother, you said before that you would marry Sister Li and asked me to call her sister-in-law."
"You can't blame me for this. It's your sister Li who disagrees. A forced melon won't be sweet. I can't just tie your sister Li back and make her your sister-in-law, right?"
Su Mingzhe expressed his helplessness, but he was silently calculating in his heart.
I tied a red string of lovesickness for Nan Li. Now more than half a month has passed, and I don’t know how many days it will take for the fruit to mature.
