In the evening, Shen Honglin took Shen Xiaoxiao and Wang Ma to a high-end restaurant and chose a private room to celebrate Shen Xiaoxiao's recovery.
Although they were all members of the family, Lao Shen still had a sense of ceremony. He held up his glass of wine and said many words of affirmation and praise to Shen Xiaoxiao. He spared no effort to express his joy, and his words were humorous, and his true feelings were full of humor.
"Dad, stop praising me, I'm going to drift off!" Shen Xiaoxiao laughed loudly, took his father's arm and asked him to sit down, "Let's eat quickly."
Shen Honglin said: "Come on, let's have a drink first."
"Okay, if you are happy today, I will make an exception and let you drink some wine." Shen Xiaoxiao stood up with his hands on the table, picked up the wine glass, looked at his father, then at Wang Ma, and said happily: "I wish us all the best in the future. Getting better and better!”
The three of them drank it all in one gulp and sat back down.
Shen Honglin drank the wine and clucked his lips - this was the first time he drank since he was discharged from the hospital, which could be regarded as a relief. He gave Shen Xiaoxiao a chopstick dish and said to her: "Xiaoxiao, eat more, It takes a lot of effort to walk.”
"Dad, you eat too. Mom Wang, you eat." Shen Xiaoxiao said.
"Who said my daughter can't do it? Ah? What's wrong with my Shen Honglin's daughter? Her leg is lame, but we still stood up!" Shen Honglin said with pride and confidence: "In the future, I will ask my daughter to look for A good man who will live a happy life, I envy them to death!"
Shen Xiaoxiao knew that the "they" his father mentioned must be the people who had talked nonsense in front of him. His father must have suffered a lot of injustice because of him.
"Xiaoxiao, when your Uncle Chen's family came here before, they wanted to bring you and Chen Yanxu together. I declined because of your condition and said I would wait until your legs are healed. Now that you are healed, Dad wants to know what you mean. ." Shen Honglin asked tentatively.
Shen Xiaoxiao ate the food, glanced at her father, and said, "Dad, it's just right for me. I don't want to talk about feelings now. Let's talk about it later."
"Dad is very fond of your uncle Chen's son. If you become friends with him, you won't suffer. The two families know each other well and understand each other very well. How did you feel when you had contact with him before?"
Shen Xiaoxiao smiled. Although she already knew what the elders of the two families were thinking, she didn't want to expose it, so she could only answer obediently: "Dad, let me tell you the truth. Chen Yanxu and I are friends. He is a good person." That’s true, but since he doesn’t call me, I think it’s better not to call him.”
"What if someone likes you? It wouldn't be a bad idea to try to get in touch with him," Shen Honglin said.
Shen Xiaoxiao said: "Dad, he doesn't like me. Really, I can feel it."
Shen Honglin saw that his daughter seemed to really not call Chen Yanxu, so he didn't force her to do anything. He said boldly: "That's okay. If you don't have feelings for him, dad won't force you. As for relationships, you have to find what you like."
He paused and continued to ask: "So do you like Dr. Zheng?"
When Shen Xiaoxiao heard this, her expression changed slightly and she said indifferently: "I don't like it."
Wang Ma beside her shook her head calmly at Shen Honglin, then gave Shen Xiaoxiao another shrimp ball and said, "Try this, it's delicious."
Shen Honglin picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine, and then said: "Doctor Zheng doesn't like it either, it doesn't matter, dad will introduce it to you."
"Dad, please don't worry about my relationship. I know it well."
"No, this time, dad has to take care of you and find a good man!"
Shen Xiaoxiao sighed, looked at Wang Ma helplessly, and shrugged her shoulders.
The meal was enjoyable. Shen Honglin was so happy that he drank a little too much. When he came out of the restaurant, his feet felt light. Shen Xiaoxiao called a driver and drove them home.
On the way, Shen Honglin took out his mobile phone and started to make a call. He didn't know who he was calling, but he could speak fairly well and was not in a drunken and crazy state. But the main idea was to introduce Xiaoxiao to their boyfriend. The other party listened. They were all unanimously surprised. When they learned that Xiaoxiao was getting well, they all expressed congratulations and said that they were the ones to introduce her to, and they would definitely introduce a good one to their eldest niece!
Shen Xiaoxiao initially refused from behind and told her father not to do this. But Shen Honglin didn't listen and still went his own way. She had no choice but to lean back in her chair and look at him on the phone in a funny way.
Wang Ma was advising her: "Don't be angry with me. He is just too happy and wants everyone to know that you are getting better."
"I know, I'm not angry, just let him go." Shen Xiaoxiao also knew that his father was suffering in the past and suffered a lot of gossip, so he felt proud now.
The next morning, Shen Xiaoxiao felt a slight soreness in her legs. She thought it was her first day of walking yesterday and she was tired. She hurriedly called Gu Yan to inquire. Gu Yan also said the same and suggested that she not walk too much today and cooperate. She came in a wheelchair. So, when she went to work, she still went in a wheelchair.
In the office, Yu Xiaoai walked in excitedly and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Mr. Shen, on your recovery!"
"Thank you." Shen Xiaoxiao replied happily.
After she recovered, she felt that her condition improved instantly. The lifeless oppression was gone and her whole body felt relaxed.
"Do you have time tonight? I'll treat you to dinner to celebrate!" Yu Xiaoai asked.
Shen Xiaoxiao smiled and said: "Of course I have time. Yesterday, my dad and Wang Ma just finished celebrating for me, and you went on. What do you want to eat tonight? Call your Jin Chen and I'll invite you. I have to treat you well." Thank you both."
"What are you calling him for? We are best friends, so don't call him." Yu Xiaoai waved her hands in disgust and said, "Let's just eat Japanese food. I haven't eaten for a long time."
"Okay, let's go to Sakura's house, her house is authentic."
"OK!" After Yu Xiaoai said that, she put the documents in her hands on the table and started to talk about work.
"By the way, Chen Jiayu's matter is subject to judicial proceedings. Did Jin Chen tell you?"
Yu Xiaoai lowered her head and was busy with her work, and said: "I told you, but I didn't listen too carefully. I feel bad for her. Do you think it's okay to hire a murderer to hurt someone just for the sake of face? I don't think so. I don’t even understand.”
"I don't understand either." Shen Xiaoxiao felt disappointed, "I guess she is very regretful now."
Yu Xiaoai said: "Let's not talk about her anymore. Take a look at this." She said and handed over the folder.
In the afternoon, due to work reasons, Shen Xiaoxiao did not leave for a while and did not go for rehabilitation. After get off work, she went directly to eat with Yu Xiaoai. She did not walk much all day today and did not use a wheelchair at night.
Shen Xiaoxiao was a regular customer of this store before, and Li Jinghan and the others also came here all the time, and they were very familiar with the owner.
"Mr. Shen, you haven't been here for a long time." The landlady said enthusiastically, and hurriedly asked the waiter to prepare a private room.
Yu Xiaoai followed behind, and when passing by a corridor, she turned her head inadvertently, and suddenly saw Guo Jinchen and a woman entering a private room, and stopped instantly.
