Chapter 387
But based on the foundation of this body, and Xia Ling's own drinking capacity.

Not really a problem.

"Shen Shao, you are so ignorant. My brothers have saluted you, but why are you still motionless?"

The old lady looked at Shen Shao, although her tone was reproachful, her eyes were full of affection.

Just as Shen Shao raised his glass and was about to speak out what he had been brewing for a long time, he heard Xia Ling's coquettish moan beside him.

She raised the corners of her mouth and said in a coquettish tone, "I'm going to get drunk, ma'am."

The old lady smiled beamingly, "Oh, that's all! See how happy I am, the old lady, she got a little carried away. You can stay here today and have fun."

After the words were finished, the food was served, Mrs. Shen made everyone eat, and Shen Shao had no choice but to put down the cup he had just picked up, and could only swallow the words when they reached his mouth.

The old lady's eyes kept looking back and forth at Xia Ling.

"I heard that you are about the same age as Shen Shao, but now you have a marriage contract?"

Xia Ling was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect the old lady to ask such a question.

She should know her own situation best.

She lowered her head, as if she had been poked into a sore spot, she pursed her lips and smiled bitterly, "Ma'am, you just joked, no one would want to marry someone like me. My wife knows my background, even in the name of the Sang family, that's nothing more than that." It’s just a beautiful shell.”

What Xia Ling said was rude.

But no one in the Shen family cared.

When Mrs. Shen heard this, her eyes widened, as if she couldn't accept what she said.

"What is your background? I heard Shen Cheng talk about you, saying that you have contributed a lot to our family's Xinghuayuan. You are smart and capable. It's just singing and drinking, and who is lost? People. If you can choose a good family background, no one wants to live a life like this, don’t you think? Anyone who pokes your spine with this matter will lose their conscience and be condemned by God!”

Xia Ling didn't expect the old lady to say such enlightened words.

From the corner of his eye, he saw Shen Shao looking like he had no appetite, with his head wet like an ostrich.

She sighed, "It would be great if there were people in the world who understood justice as well as Madam."

"Didn't you meet me just now?" The old lady smiled, "I thought, if you are not married, you can pick and choose between my two worthless sons. Of course this is my selfishness, if you If you don’t want to, just say what you want. You saved Shen Shao, this is what we should give in return.”

Xia Ling turned to look at Shen Shao.

I don't know what kind of expression Shen Shao has, but it's just that he feels uncomfortable all over his body.

Xia Ling hesitated for a while before speaking.

"Thank you Madam for your kindness. I don't lack anything, and I didn't think about anything when I rescued the Sixth Young Master. However, if it is a wish, I do have one. If there is a chance in the future, I will come to Madam to fulfill it. You see, you can What?"

Mrs. Shen was a little disappointed with Xia Ling's answer, but she still nodded with a smile, "Okay, then I will answer you."

During the meal, Shen Shao kept adding food to Xia Ling.

Xia Ling suffers every time, and then pushes the dish he picked up to the edge of the bowl, motionless.

After everyone chatted for a while, Mrs. Shen said she was tired and wanted to rest.

The eldest and second son of the Shen family returned home first because they had children.

I'm afraid everyone will neglect Xia Ling.

Mrs. Shen asked Shen Sen, Shen Shao, fifth brother Shen Bang, and Shen Bang's unmarried girlfriend Jiang Ke to play mahjong with Xia Ling, and insisted on keeping Xia Ling to live here.

For this reason, he specially asked Shen Shao to accompany him.As soon as the dinner table was off, Xia Ling was pulled onto the card table.

I haven’t played cards for a long time.

Xia Ling touched the milky white mahjong made of unknown material with his hand, playing the cards with a focused expression.

Shen Sen sat next to Xia Ling and quietly advised Xia Ling.

In Shen Shao's eyes, the distance between the two was too close, even a little too intimate.

Shen Shao felt uncomfortable, and shouted loudly, "Fifth brother, you and Miss Jiang are getting married. Logically speaking, there is no family where both of you are at the table."

Jiang Ke was embarrassed by Shen Shao's words, so he just finished playing the hand and pushed the cards to Shen Shao.

There is no one at the poker table, and the aunts and wives are not worthy to play.

Simply give up.

Shen Shao finally found a chance to be alone with Xia Ling before he could speak.

Xia Ling turned to Shen Sen and said: "If the director is not busy, can you take me to see the garden of Shen's family? I heard that it was made by a royal craftsman. I have always wanted to see it, but I didn't." Chance."

Shen Sen stretched out his hand to Xia Ling in a gentlemanly manner, "It's an honor."

Xia Ling smiled and put her hand into Shen Sen's, "Thank you."

Holding hands, the two walked past Shen Shao dignifiedly, Xia Ling didn't even cast a glance at Shen Shao from the corner of his eye.

This made Shen Shao feel an unknown fire for no reason.

He walked back and forth on the spot twice, and finally couldn't help his curiosity and followed furtively toward the garden.

The bright moon hangs high.

Xia Ling, who was wearing high heels, stepped on the soft lawn, and when he stepped on it, there was a pit, making it difficult to move forward.

She simply took off her shoes and walked on the lawn with bare feet.

Shen Sen glanced at her movements, and the smile in his eyes deepened.

"A girl like you is very self-centered. You know what you want and what you should care about. You are fine anywhere. It's very tiring to live knowing this."

Xia Ling walked forward with her shoes in her hands, and laughed when she heard Shen Sen's words, "Why, the director still studies behavioral psychology?"

Shen Sen smiled and said, "You know a lot. You haven't read a book, but you can still know what behavioral psychology is. Tell me, what can you do with me?"

"Does the director want to know what my wish was just now?"

Shen Sen stopped and looked at Xia Ling, pretending to be thoughtful.

"It should be... let me marry Yan Yu?"

Xia Ling glanced at Shen Sen appreciatively, "Sure enough, the director is a smart person. Talking to smart people saves effort."

"Then why didn't you just say it on the spot?" Shen Sen stretched out his hand to hold Xia Ling's hand, and brought it to his side, pointing his finger at the shiny spot on the ground, "Be careful of the stagnant water on the ground."

Xia Ling walked inside, and said as he walked, "I'm afraid that if I make a mistake, the director will lose face."

"Then you just missed a good opportunity." Shen Sen laughed, showing his white and neat teeth.

Xia Ling didn't understand, and stopped, "Since the director has her in his heart, why didn't he take the initiative to mention her when Madam asked me to choose a position just now?"

Shen Sen put his hands in his pockets, looked up at the sky, and sighed.

"I don't care. I will treat whoever I marry with all my heart. It's nothing more than supporting each other through life. As long as the character is not bad, knows how to measure, and can manage the family. Anyone can do it."

"Is it okay not to love?"

"The most important thing in life should be ideals first, and life second. Love, that is something that a person who has no worries in his life is qualified to consider. If ideals are not realized, if life is not preserved, love is the first to bear the brunt of the most important thing , that's what a fool would do."
