Chapter 1566 Xie Meilan breaks out, Na Wei is in trouble
"Come, come, come, everyone is on the table, ready to eat."
Shen Lin and Na Wei invited everyone to join the table. Shen Lei and Xie Meilan came together. There were seven people in total, and the table could just fit.
Because Li Xiaoyue is a new member of this 'family', most eyes are on her.
Li Xiaoyue didn't care, she accepted everyone's gaze calmly and talked to everyone with a smile.
"Everyone, listen to me first."
As the head of the family, Na Wei was the first to open the topic.
"Juan Juan, this brat is just so lucky to have found such a good girlfriend as Xiao Yue. Today is mainly to welcome Xiao Yue's new arrival. Let's not talk about anything else. Let's raise a toast to welcome our new family member."
When Na Wei was talking, he kept paying attention to Li Xiaoyue's expression. When he found that Li Xiaoyue's face changed slightly, he was still very happy, he was relieved.
He deliberately mentioned the new member just to see Li Xiaoyue's reaction. Obviously, Li Xiaoyue did not object or show any displeasure, which showed that she agreed with the title and also reacted from the side. Li Xiaoyue and Na Juan The feelings are very good.
Everyone raised their glasses, and Li Xiaoyue hurriedly said: "Brother, sister-in-law, you are too polite. I should be the one to respect you. My brother and sister-in-law made so many delicious dishes today. Thank you very much."
Shen Lin said: "This is what it should be. You are Juan Juan's girlfriend. We are a family. There is no need to say thank you as a family."
"Your sister-in-law is right. We are a family and don't say thank you. Xiaoyue, you can like my younger brother. That is his blessing. I will feel more relieved when you look after him in the future."
"No, between Na Juan and I, he usually takes care of me more," Li Xiaoyue said.
Na Wei said matter-of-factly: "It is necessary for him to take care of you. If this kid dares to bully you in the future, just call me and I will help you teach him a lesson."
Shen Lin hit him: "There's no need for you to meddle in other people's business. Juanjuan and Xiaoyue are in a good relationship."
Shen Lei and Xie Meilan were not very talkative, and Xie Meilan didn't have much to talk to everyone before, but now she is even more happy to be quiet, eating the food quietly and listening to everyone talking.
Originally she wasn't planning to come today, but Shen Lei didn't ask her to come, and Shen Lin also sent her a message, so she had no choice but to come with Shen Lei.
She had a strange feeling about Li Xiaoyue. At first glance, she saw that Li Xiaoyue was indeed a very clean girl. Especially the tone of her voice, the way she looked at people, and her enthusiastic attitude gave her a feeling.
Li Xiaoyue is very similar to her when she first entered the workplace a few years ago. She is very enthusiastic towards everyone and her whole person is full of vitality. She is like a "stupid" college student who has just left the society and does not understand the dangers of society.
In fact, she has a good impression of Na Juan, a 'relative', because Na Juan is a very hard-working person, and the company is good and he earns a lot. Sometimes she hopes that Shen Lei can work hard like Na Juan. Work hard to plan for the future, instead of being like this now, living in a daze in the workplace all day long, not knowing how to deal with interpersonal relationships, and living in your so-called comfortable environment.
The relationship between Na Juan and Li Xiaoyue gave her a very incongruous feeling, and it felt like the two of them didn't feel like they were the same person.
Li Xiaoyue is a person who has her own emotional value and is very enthusiastic, so although it is her first time here, she has integrated into it very well, especially with Na Wei and Shen Lin, she is very chatty.
Shen Lei clinked glasses with Zhou Chen. Both of them drank beer. Zhou Chen drank two bottles without any reaction, while Shen Lei blushed a little.
"Na Juan, I heard from my brother-in-law that you resigned from your job in that big factory. What happened? Didn't you get promoted and your development was just right? Why did you suddenly resign?"
Zhou Chen explained casually: "How should I put it? It's just too much curling, too tired, and too much physical stress. Now think about it, there is no need to curl up like that. Nothing is as important as the body. I feel now that being a civil servant like you , you don’t have to think about it so much, it’s really comfortable and very stable.”
Shen Lei looked shocked, but then he said with a smile: "This is not like your past style, but you are right. You were really too busy in the past. You were busy working all day, and you didn't even think about it. Take the time to enjoy life. When you are alive, you should be more relaxed and relaxed. There is really no need to work so hard and worry so much."
As soon as he finished speaking, no one else said anything. Instead, Xie Meilan was the first to express his opinion.
"This is the capital, the capital. If you don't work harder than others, how can you live a better life than others? Then Juan can stand up here and afford a house in the capital just because he is successful and works hard. We don’t have a license, so now we can only live in a low-cost rental house in a remote place.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the room instantly froze, and the silence became terrifying.
Shen Lin saw something was wrong and was about to say something, but Na Wei held her under the table and shook his head gently at her.
Li Xiaoyue and Yue Yue, who were still eating enthusiastically, stopped their chopsticks at this time, looking at a loss.
Especially Li Xiaoyue, she was the one who couldn't understand the situation the most. How could she be fine one moment and be like this the next moment? She could only look at Zhou Chen with doubts, and then she saw Zhou Chen's signaling eyes, no. More action.
Shen Lei looked at his wife in shock, not understanding why Xie Meilan was suddenly so excited and said such words.
"Wife, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing Shen Lei's confused look, Xie Meilan took a deep breath and tried her best to regain her composure.
"I don't think anything of it, I just think that if we outsiders want to live in the capital, we have to work harder than others."
Before Shen Lei could figure out the situation, he retorted: "Honey, I think we should..."
Shen Lin immediately interrupted: "Shen Lei, stop talking. I think Meilan is right. When we outsiders come to the capital, if we want to live a good life, we must work harder. This is right. .”
Na Wei also quickly echoed his wife: "Yes, yes, Shen Lei, what your sister said makes sense. People still need to have a certain amount of pressure to be more motivated."
Shen Lei still didn't quite understand the situation. Seeing that his sister and brother-in-law both said this, he felt that there was something wrong.
"There is pressure and you need to work hard. I agree. There is nothing wrong with working hard, right? Labor creates value, but if you work just for the sake of hard work and involve others and yourself, then you are not guilty."
He didn't notice at all that Xie Meilan's face had turned ugly because of his words, and she suddenly stood up.
"I'm going to the bathroom."
Then he stood up and left quickly.
Shen Lei was still there with a confused look on his face, but Shen Lin couldn't help but stood up angrily and gave Shen Lei a slap.
"Shen Lei, there is something wrong with you. Why are you arguing with your wife? Why don't you just follow her lead?"
On the contrary, Shen Lei looked aggrieved: "I didn't argue, I just discussed the matter."
Shen Lin was also confused by her brother's stupidity and didn't know what to say, and Na Wei didn't even notice.
The meal was almost over at this point. Xie Meilan stayed in the bathroom for a long time. After coming out, he only sat for a short while and then left with Shen Lei on the grounds that he was not feeling well.
Zhou Chen didn't stay long and was about to leave with Li Xiaoyue.
Shen Lin pulled Li Xiaoyue with an apologetic face and kept apologizing.
"Xiaoyue, I'm so sorry tonight, something like this happened..."
Li Xiaoyue said with a smile: "It's nothing, sister-in-law, the braised food you made is really delicious. After eating the braised food you made, I will never be able to eat other people's braised food again."
Seeing Li Xiaoyue's natural expression, Shen Lin felt more at ease.
"Then let Juan Juan bring you here next time, and I'll make more for you."
"Okay, sister-in-law."
…………
After sending Zhou Chen and Li Xiaoyue away, Na Wei helped Shen Lin clear the dining table together. Na Wei couldn't help but say a few words.
"You must have seen what happened between your brother and Xie Meilan today."
Shen Lin sighed: "My silly brother, I really don't know what to say about him. He is too honest and can't speak out of his mind. But this girl Xie Meilan is really like this. In today's situation, she is so scornful. Fortunately, Xiaoyue This kid is grand, otherwise..."
Na Wei snorted: "There is something wrong with your brother. He doesn't know how to look at his face. If I had known, I wouldn't have called them here today."
Shen Lin was unhappy when she heard her husband talk about her younger brother.
"Why is there something wrong with my brother? Why can't he look at his face? He has a problem today, but is it his problem alone? Xie Meilan also has a big problem, right?"
"Yes, yes, you are right, everything you said is right."
Na Wei also knew that it was pointless to discuss this with his wife, so he quickly ended the topic.
On the way back, Li Xiaoyue didn't talk about what just happened, but only told Zhou Chen.
"Na Juan, your nickname is actually Juan Juan? Why is it called that? Is it because you were too curly when you were studying in your childhood, or because your hair was curly when you were a child? Haha..."
Li Xiaoyue laughed very happily in the passenger seat. She just thought her boyfriend's name was very interesting.
"Is it so funny? Really."
"Of course it's funny, it's so interesting."
After laughing for a while, she stopped and then started talking about Na Wei and Shen Lin.
"But your eldest brother and sister-in-law are really nice people, and the braised food made by your sister-in-law is really delicious."
Zhou Chen said with a smile: "If you like it, I will take you to their house to eat next time."
"It's okay to go there once in a while, but it's not good if you go all the time."
"Na Juan, I found that you and your brother don't look alike, nor do they have the same personalities. On the contrary, my sister-in-law and her brother look more alike."
"Yeah, I've always thought I'm much more handsome than my brother."
"Hey, you are so thick-skinned."
…………
The two have been almost inseparable since they fell in love. They wish they could be together every day. Li Xiaoyue rarely returns to her rental house now.
