Chapter 267 Old Green Tea
Chapter 267 Old Green Tea
Yao Chen brought his stepmother to Ji Beichen's table.
"Aunt Lin, please sit here."
Ji Beichen understood that Yao Chen's stepmother came uninvited and did not arrange any extra seats, so she had no choice but to bring them to their table.
Ji Beichen said, "Aunt Lin, please sit down."
Aunt Lin smiled gracefully, "Oh, Beichen is here too, so I'll sit at the same table with you."
Li Qian also stood up to greet Aunt Lin and made room for her.
Aunt Lin immediately took Li Qian's hand and said, "Oh, this kid is so sensible. No wonder Yao Chen likes you, and I like you too."
Faced with this overly enthusiastic compliment, Li Qian could only smile politely.
Yao Chen poured a glass of water for Li Qian and warned, "You sit with them for a while, I'll just go and greet them."
Li Qian nodded.
Yao Chen left and continued to greet the guests.
Ji Beichen poured a cup of tea for Aunt Lin, "Auntie, drink tea."
With a smile on her face, Aunt Lin said: "Thank you, you're welcome. Today, Yao Chen's father was also going to come, but the company had something to do and couldn't come. I thought, for such a big event as the opening of my son's new store, there must be someone in the family to support him. Just give it a try.”
Qiao Yue answered, "Yes, it should be."
Aunt Lin looked at Qiao Yue and immediately started the boasting mode again, "Is this Yue Yue?"
Qiao Yue and this aunt had just met formally for the first time, and she was really not used to being called so intimately.
Qiao Yue nodded, "Yes, Auntie."
Aunt Lin: "The little girl is so beautiful. On the wedding day, she looked like a fairy descending to earth. She is so beautiful and expensive. She and Beichen are a perfect match!"
Being praised like this in front of her face, Qiao Yue felt so embarrassed that her toes were on the ground, but she could only keep smiling.
This Aunt Lin is simply a social terrorist, but just now I heard Li Qian mention that Yao Chen didn't invite Aunt Lin at all today, which means that the relationship between the two of them should be normal.
With Yao Chen's character and Aunt Lin's social skills, it shouldn't be...
Logically speaking, the two of them should get along quite happily...
However, Qiao Yue was just confused in her heart and did not show it on the surface.
Aunt Lin took Li Qian's hand again and said, "I didn't have the chance to chat with you at the Ji family's wedding that day."
Li Qian said politely: "Yes, I just have a chance today."
Aunt Lin opened her mouth to say good things, "You kid, I liked you as soon as I saw you. You are pretty and capable. I heard you have opened several stores. It's great."
"As for me, I don't have children. To be honest, I regard Yao Chen as my son and you as my daughter-in-law. Don't worry, I'm easy to get along with and I'm definitely a good mother-in-law..."
She has said so, what else can Li Qian say...
I could only continue to smile and say, "Yes, yes, yes..."
Qiao Yue watched from the side and felt that something was wrong. This Aunt Lin seemed to be a little too enthusiastic. These words came out of her mouth and were said so easily...
At this time, a guest from another table came over to greet Ji Beichen, so Ji Beichen simply got up and went to socialize.
As soon as Ji Beichen left, the three women were the only ones left at the table.
Qiao Yue picked up the teapot and refilled Aunt Lin's tea.
Li Qian took out the menu, put it in front of Aunt Lin, and said, "Auntie, take a look at what you like to eat. I'll ask the kitchen to make it and send it out, so you can try the taste here."
Aunt Lin glanced at the two of them, folded her hands and leaned back, completely different from her friendly attitude just now, "I'm not in a hurry to eat, but there are some issues I want to talk to you about."
Li Qian was stunned for a moment, but still asked respectfully, "What's the problem? Just ask."
Aunt Lin: "Just now, both men were here, so I gave you face. I was embarrassed to talk to you."
"How come you don't have any eyesight and you asked Yao Chen to pour water for you? You should pour it for him. How can you marry into our family if you are so lazy and not hardworking at all?"
"Although your family is rich and can afford a nanny, you still have to be able to take care of your own man. Wanting to be the daughter-in-law of our Yao family is not that simple."
After hearing what Aunt Lin said, Li Qian and Qiao Yue were stunned.
Good guy, this woman has two faces.
When Yao Chen and Ji Beichen were here just now, they pretended to be approachable and complimentary.
As soon as the man left, she revealed her true colors!
The weird Aunt Lin continued, "To be honest, the gap between you and our Yao family is too big. If you are not from the right family, there will be no benefit at all from marrying into one."
"Besides, this kid Yao Chen hasn't been in a serious position in the past few years, and he's always losing money in business. He doesn't have his own career yet, and he's not in a hurry to get married and start a family. You two, you can have a relationship. If you want to get married, It's hanging... Do you think the Yao family, one old and one young, is so easy to deal with..."
This woman is awesome.
In front of outsiders, and in front of Yao Chen and his son, he pretended to like Li Qian so much.
When others are not present, they are saying that Li Qian is not worthy and telling her to quit in spite of difficulties.
One trick in front of others, one stab in the back, it's a very smooth game.
Moreover, everything Aunt Lin said was just yin and yang, unpleasant but not loud, just to anger and humiliate the other party.
If the other party couldn't help but quarreled with her, it would seem that the other party was even more vicious.
Li Qian must not quarrel with her openly now, she still has to take Yao Chen's face into consideration.
Li Qian was neither humble nor overbearing, and replied: "Auntie, thank you for your concern, but this is a matter between me and Yao Chen. I believe you, the stepmother, don't need to worry about it."
She specially emphasized the word "stepmother". She is so yin and yang, who wouldn't...
Aunt Lin was really angry, "You..."
At this time, Yao Chen came over.
Aunt Lin immediately suppressed her anger and looked at Li Qian with a smile. The speed of her face change was surprising...
Yao Chen said, "Aunt Lin, there is a guest over there who says he is my father's friend and wants you to come over and have a chat."
Aunt Lin stood up immediately, "Okay, let's go now."
After saying that, she followed Yao Chen with her fake smile.
Qiao Yue couldn't help but sigh, "It's wonderful. Looking at her face, she is clearly a green tea, an old green tea..."
Li Qian: "I didn't expect... During your wedding, I felt very enthusiastic when I saw her. She is a very nice person. I am blind..."
Qiao Yue: "You can't blame us, you can only blame her for being too high-ranking. In front of outsiders and men, she is a passionate fool, how can we see her methods."
Li Qian sneered: "I'm really convinced, in a big way."
Qiao Yue was worried about her sisters, and it was quite disturbing to meet such a nominal mother-in-law.
She asked Li Qian: "What is the relationship between Yao Chen and her stepmother?"
Li Qian: "It's not good, it's not bad either. It's very polite, but it's definitely not intimate. You can tell when he doesn't invite this stepmother when he opens his business."
"Maybe we usually go home for dinner and meet her. Yao Chen doesn't mention his stepmother much on weekdays."
Qiao Yue: "That's good. It means they have a normal relationship. If you know the true identity of Green Tea's stepmother, Yao Chen will definitely help you."
Li Qian thought for a moment and said, "Don't tell Yao Chen or your husband what happened just now."
Qiao Yue: "Why?"
Li Qian: "I'm not sure whether Yao Chen knows what kind of person his stepmother is. If I tell others about it, it will seem like I'm complaining and trying to sow discord. Anyway, I don't have much contact with my stepmother. I'll talk to Yao Chen when I have the chance."
Qiao Yue nodded: "Well, what you said makes sense."
Li Qian smiled, "It's quite interesting to see real green tea for the first time after growing up."
Qiao Yue sighed: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, sister, your current mentality is too good."
Li Qian held her hands and said: "When soldiers come, we will block it, and when water comes, the soil will cover us up. I am not a coward, who is afraid of whom..."
