Morbid Addiction

Before Chen Yuncheng went out, he took out the new clothes Ning Junyan gave him and put them on. After changing the clothes, he still stood in front of the mirror and looked carefully for a long time. He felt that there was nothing inappropriate in the whole body, so he told Ning Junyan Jun Yan went out together.

Originally, Chen Yuncheng wanted to go to a nearby shopping mall to buy a New Year's gift for Ning Junyan's parents, but Ning Junyan said no, he had a gift from someone else in his car, so Chen Yuncheng could just pick it up when the time comes.

"Isn't it appropriate?" Chen Yuncheng said.

"It's nothing inappropriate," Ning Junyan didn't discuss with him at all, and didn't plan to drive to the shopping mall.

Chen Yuncheng had no choice but to accept it.

It wasn't too early for them to go out. It was almost eleven noon when they drove to Ning Junyan's parents' house.

Ning Junyan's parents live in the outskirts of the city, which is also a villa area, because it is relatively new, with a wide view of the surrounding area and a good environment.

Chen Yuncheng was a little apprehensive along the way. After getting off the car, he saw a lawn in front of the villa. Perhaps it was because of the good weather today and the abundant sunlight. There was a small square table on the lawn. tea chat.

One of them was Ning Junyan's mother, Shu Rong, and it seemed that their guests had already arrived.

Chen Yuncheng was holding the New Year's gift box that Ning Junyan gave him. He didn't know how much the gift box was worth, but the packaging was pretty exquisite.

Ning Junyan walked beside him, and walked with him along the flagstone path on the lawn.

A guest first saw Ning Junyan and the others, and said to Shu Rong, "Your son is back."

Shu Rong turned her head with a smile on her face, and the moment her eyes touched Chen Yuncheng, her smile froze very obviously, then she stood up, and walked towards Ning Junyan and the others with a natural expression.

"Back?" Shu Rong asked.

Ning Junyan nodded.

Chen Yuncheng smiled and said to Shu Rong: "Auntie, Happy New Year." He handed the gift box in his hand to Shu Rong.

Shu Rong looked down at the gift box, but didn't immediately reach out.

Ning Junyan first took the gift box from Chen Yuncheng's hand, and handed it to Shu Rong: "Yuncheng is here to give you New Year's greetings."

Only then did Shu Rong raise her hand and said with a smile, "You're too polite."

She didn't say much, and led Ning Junyan and the others to greet several guests.

"Uncle Zhang and Aunt Xia, you both know each other," Shu Rong introduced to Ning Junyan.

Ning Junyan, Zhang Chong and Xia Wenjuan, knew each other. They had been doing business with Shu Rong, and Shu Rong's plastic surgery hospital was jointly opened with them.

Then Shu Rong continued to introduce: "This is Boss Yu. It's the first time you've seen her. That's Boss Yu's daughter. Her name is Yu Mingli. She just came back from studying abroad."

Ning Junyan just nodded.

Shu Rong took Ning Junyan's arm and said, "This is my son Junyan, who works in the hospital." After she finished speaking, she saw other people's eyes falling on Chen Yuncheng, and said, "This is Junyan's son. friend."

Chen Yuncheng didn't speak. Ever since he saw the guests from Ning's family, his eyes had been on Boss Yu.

Boss Yu sat on a white chair, looked up and saw Chen Yuncheng, and smiled at him politely.

Chen Yuncheng couldn't laugh, he had met this Boss Yu, although he didn't do it many times, but he was deeply impressed. This person was the same Boss Yu who said he would bring Guan Anlin to do business together, but later made Guan Anlin imprisoned for two years, Chen Yuncheng Remember his name is Yu Jie.

Zhang Chong stood up and called Ning Junyan and the others to sit down.

Ning Junyan noticed that something was wrong with Chen Yuncheng, lightly touched the back of Chen Yuncheng's hand, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"

Chen Yuncheng shook his head, turned his eyes away from Yu Jie, and said, "It's nothing."

After sitting down, Ning Junyan asked Shu Rong, "Where's my dad?"

Shu Rong said: "I'm still dawdling upstairs, he won't come down after all the guests are here, why don't you go and call him."

Ning Junyan refused, "He will come later by himself."

Xia Wenjuan looked at Chen Yuncheng, and asked Ning Junyan: "Jun Yan, what is your friend's name, you haven't introduced it to us yet."

Ning Jun replied: "His name is Chen Yuncheng."

Chen Yuncheng greeted Xia Wenjuan politely.

Seeing that Xia Wenjuan was still looking at Chen Yuncheng, Shu Rong asked Yu Mingli who was sitting opposite him abruptly: "Is it boring for you young people to hear us chatting? Do Xiaoli want to go shopping?"

Yu Mingli glanced at Ning Junyan, then at Shu Rong, and said, "Okay."

Shu Rong said to Ning Junyan: "You can go shopping with Xiaoli."

Ning Junyan didn't agree, he just asked Chen Yuncheng: "Want to go for a walk?"

Chen Yuncheng shook his head, he couldn't help looking at Yu Jie again, but Yu Jie didn't look at him, only looked at Ning Junyan with a smile on his face.

Ning Junyan said to Shu Rong: "I'm not going, I'll take Yuncheng to see Dad." After speaking, he stood up, held Chen Yuncheng's hand at the same time, pulled him up, and led him towards the gate of the villa.

The rest of the people seemed a little embarrassed. After a brief silence, Shu Rong smiled and said to Yu Mingli: "Then let's go shopping after eating. Jun Yan will take his friend to see Lao Ning first."

Yu Mingli nodded and forced a smile.

After entering the house, the busy voice of the nanny came from the direction of the kitchen. There were several New Year gifts, fruit plates and flower arrangements on the coffee table in the living room.

Ning Junyan did not take Chen Yuncheng upstairs immediately, but stopped at the stairs and asked him, "What's wrong?"

Chen Yuncheng seemed to be distracted all the time, when he heard Ning Junyan's question, he looked up at him: "What? Isn't it New Year's greetings to your father?"

Ning Junyan frowned, "Do you know that Boss Yu?"

Chen Yuncheng didn't know whether he should say it at this time, he hesitated for a moment, and said, "I don't know, let's go upstairs first."

Ning Junyan raised his hand to pinch Chen Yuncheng's jaw, and looked at him seriously: "I don't know what you've been watching him for?"

Chen Yuncheng pushed Ning Junyan's hand away, "What are you thinking?"

Ning Junyan said: "Otherwise we'll go back."

Chen Yuncheng was stunned for a moment, "Why? You came here specially to spend the New Year with your parents today."

Ning Junyan said, "You don't look happy."

Chen Yuncheng looked at him and smiled, "I'm not unhappy."

Ning Junyan said coldly: "You are looking at other people."

"Look at who?" Chen Yuncheng was baffled by what he said, and after a while he realized, "You mean Boss Yu?"

Ning Junyan had a blank expression on his face and did not speak.

Chen Yuncheng smiled and raised his hand to pinch his face, "Do you think I'm crazy?"

Ning Junyan stared at him for a moment, then took his hand again and continued walking upstairs.

They met Ning Zhanghong in the study room on the second floor. Ning Zhanghong was reading a book and obviously didn't want to go down to chat with Shu Rong's guests.

When Ning Zhanghong saw Chen Yuncheng, his usually calm face also showed some surprise, "Are you Chen Yuncheng?"

Chen Yuncheng said, "Uncle, happy new year."

Ning Zhanghong nodded, "Happy New Year." He stood up from the desk, stretched out his hand to flatten the book in front of him, went to the window and looked downstairs, and when he turned around, he asked Ning Junyan: " Have you met your mother?"

Ning Junyan said, "I've seen it."

Ning Zhanghong's tone was slightly nervous, "Did she say nothing?"

Ning Junyan said: "There are still guests at home, and she is busy receiving Uncle Zhang and the others."

Ning Zhanghong nodded to show that he understood. With his hands behind his back, he stared at the people downstairs for a while, and said to Ning Junyan, "Then you can go play with your friend."

Ning Junyan opened the door, wanting to take Chen Yuncheng out, but Ning Zhanghong stopped him suddenly: "You know your mother has a bad temper."

"I know," Ning Junyan said, and left the study with Chen Yuncheng one after the other.

Ning Zhanghong doesn't care who Ning Junyan associates with, he only cares that Shu Rong will lose his temper because of this, which makes him not have a day of peace.

Coming out of the study, Chen Yuncheng said, "Uncle feels weird."

Ning Junyan asked him: "What's so strange?"

Chen Yuncheng said: "I can't tell, it looks a little nervous."

Ning Junyan said "um", "He has always been like this, don't worry about him."

Ning Zhanghong came down from upstairs at noon and sat down at the round table with the guests.

Shu Rong opened a bottle of red wine, and Ning Zhanghong didn't drink, so she drank with the guests by herself.

Chen Yuncheng felt that Yu Jie didn't seem to know him anymore, he didn't pay attention to him from the beginning to the end, and he didn't deliberately avoid his gaze, as if he was facing a complete stranger.

He heard them chatting while eating, and only then did he know that Yu Jie met Shu Rong through Zhang Chong. He had a sum of money in his hand and wanted to cooperate with them to set up a branch of the plastic surgery hospital in the east of the city.

Shu Rong doesn't seem to know Yu Jie very well, but she is obviously more interested in Yu Jie's daughter, and has been actively chatting with Yu Mingli.

When he first arrived at Ning's house, Chen Yuncheng's attention was all on Yu Jie, and now he suddenly realized that the main purpose of Shu Rong's banquet today seemed to be to introduce Ning Junyan and Yu Mingli to each other.

Realizing this, Chen Yuncheng couldn't help but look at Ning Junyan.

Ning Junyan didn't know if he noticed it, but he couldn't see anything from his face anyway, after noticing Chen Yuncheng's gaze, he took a chopstick of fish meat for Chen Yuncheng, and said, "Concentrate on eating."

Shu Rong tried her best to find common topics between Ning Junyan and Yu Mingli, and asked them about their experiences studying abroad.

Yu Mingli said that she worked very hard. For a while, she had to prepare a report every week, and she couldn't even sleep well at night.

Shu Rong looked at Ning Junyan.

Ning Junyan said blankly: "It's nothing, I think everything is very simple and easy."

Yu Jie laughed and said, "That's because Jun Yan is smart, and Xiaoli is not so smart, so she has to work harder."

Shu Rong's face darkened slightly, and she looked at Ning Junyan with disapproval.

Chen Yuncheng looked at Yu Mingli, and saw that although Yu Mingli was smiling, she looked a little embarrassed.

Yu Jie seemed to want to help his daughter, he asked Ning Junyan: "I heard from your mother that you haven't been in a relationship for so many years?"

Ning Junyan replied politely: "Yes."

Yu Jie asked him: "Is it because you haven't met the right one or are you asking too much?" He asked with a smile, and his tone sounded very kind.

Ning Junyan put down his chopsticks and looked at Yu Jie.

Chen Yuncheng's heart skipped a beat suddenly, he had a premonition that Ning Junyan might talk nonsense, he was very nervous, and stretched out his hand to pull Ning Junyan's arm from under the table.

Ning Junyan's attention shifted to Chen Yuncheng. He saw that the fish that Chen Yuncheng had just caught hadn't been touched, so he asked, "Is the food delicious?"

Chen Yuncheng replied in a low voice: "No, it's delicious."

Ning Junyan put his hand on the back of Chen Yuncheng's neck, "Then eat well." Then he turned to Yu Jie and asked, "When is Boss Yu referring to? Before or now?"

Yu Jie smiled and asked, "Is there any difference?"

Ning Junyan said: "I never met before, but now I have someone I like."
