Mu Tian finished speaking without any expression, just like a math teacher explaining geometry exercises, and then tilted his head and looked at Aunt Wan.
Aunt Wan's face turned red and white, and she suddenly stood up and threw away the chopsticks in her hand.
Ouyang Hui saw this and said quickly: "Mom!" She said and nudged Hu Ti with her elbow.
Hu Ti looked around helplessly, not knowing what to say.
Xia Ruhua stood up quickly and stepped forward to block Aunt Wan's way out. At the same time, she looked at Su Xiaoxiao for help.
Su Xiaoxiao understood, "Mutian, what are you talking about? Apologize to Aunt Wan and Ouyang." She said softly but with eyes.
Mutian looked at Su Xiaoxiao for a while, then looked at the postures of Aunt Wan and Xia Ruhua, and looked up at Aunt Wan, "Aunt Wan, I am just talking about something. You are probably used to it by the landlord. About the wedding room.
Question, since my brother wants to marry your daughter, there will definitely be a place to live. However, I also said, don’t think about the second landlord. They are also willing to take you to live, but as the saying goes,
Sugar cane is not as sweet as both ends. There are many houses in Shanghai with houses like Phoenix Terrace, and some even bigger and nicer than this one, but let’s see if it falls on your daughter.”
After he finished speaking, he threw the chopsticks in his hand on the table, "Mom, aunt, I'm sorry. I'm full." He stood up and left.
The shock behind him seemed to have nothing to do with him.
Mutian prepared a study and bedroom for himself in Phoenix Terrace. The reason for this was that Mutian felt that he would spend most of his time in the study, so just prepare a bed here. He would sleep when he felt sleepy.
Having another bedroom would just be a source of trouble and would add extra work to the servants.
Not long after he returned to the study, before he could figure out one thing, Su Xiaoxiao knocked on the door and came in.
"Mom, why haven't you eaten yet? Are you full?" Mu Tian asked with concern.
"I'm full." Su Xiaoxiao said, looking at the night outside.
"Where's the aunt? Is she angry with me?" Mu Tian still asked with concern.
"How could it be? Growing up, every time you two got into trouble, aunt always blamed Hu Ti. When had she ever been angry with you?" Su Xiaoxiao said reproachfully and emotionally, "But tonight you went too far.
Saying those words is not only embarrassing for people, but also how do you ask Hu Ti to get along well with them after they get married."
"Mom, you don't understand. If you don't say what you should say before marriage, it will be even harder to get along with Hu Ti after marriage. Not only that, even you and aunt can't get along." Mu Tian said to Su Xiaoxiao seriously.
"Why are you talking like this? Aunt Wan is not a bad person, but she is forced by life. It is not easy for an orphan and a widowed mother. It is understandable that you should plan more for yourself in everything." Su Xiaoxiao said with emotion.
"Mom, I know you remember Aunt Wan who saved you back then and want to help her. You also brought me here alone. Why don't you look like her? And auntie, you don't look like her either. Besides,
, she wants to occupy both ends, is what she said planning a little more for herself?" Mu Tian is not a person who gossips easily, so he refrained from telling Su Xiaoxiao about Ouyang Hui's wishful thinking that he heard in the garden.
"Anyway, remember mother, your son is not the kind of ungrateful person, let alone a petty person. However, it is better to say something in advance than to wait until it gets too serious."
Seeing that what Mu Tian said was not unreasonable, Su Xiaoxiao said what she should say. Besides, her son was an adult and knew how to deal with things. It was useless to say more, so he said Hu Ti sent the two of them away.
, I hope I can persuade them on the way. Then I went back to the house to rest.
…
Maybe it's because when people are desperate, they become more and more bored, and when they can't see the hope of tomorrow, they cherish today's time even more, seize every opportunity to enjoy it, and indulge in indulgence.
As soon as the newspaper advertisement came out, even the promoters Mu Tian and Liu Qinghuai were surprised that as many as ten thousand people signed up. After Ji Ruoxi issued special interview passes to the applicants at the newspaper office, she called Mu Tian to report the good news.
He told Ji Ruoxi to prepare a photography team and wait for his news to shoot at the designated location.
Because since the dock warehouse incident, he no longer trusts the people around Liu Qinghuai.
Although Ji Ruoxi didn't quite understand Mu Tian's intentions, she still agreed to him. She also left the newspaper's photographer behind and was on standby at any time.
At this time, groups of photographers and sketchers have already arrived in the famous residential areas of Shanghai Bund.
After the initial surprise, the residents here became accustomed to having people take photos. Some generous foreigners also acted as models for the photos, so that the photos taken were no longer just cold buildings.
Fang Gunong from Xinxin Photo Studio was Liu Qinghuai's employee, and he was arranged to be one of the first to go to Fengzeli for shooting. He was also a special photographer for the "Old Friends" pictorial, and Fang Fanglong was once arranged to be his assistant as a cover.
Mutian looked at the photos he took, and felt that he must have deceived Eiichi Kui or Qiao Shiyou with this trick. Because there was a bald head in the photo of Fengzeli No. 7 taken by Fang Gunong. Look at the composition.
, somewhat suspected of being staged.
Since it is a staged photo, of course the person being photographed or being posed must agree.
Liu Qinghuai accompanied Mutian after looking at the photos at Xinxin Photo Studio. When he saw a large photo of Su Xiaoxiao still displayed in the window, Mutian called the boss Shen Baixiang out and asked why this photo was still displayed. He remembered that he first
He took a photo here when he first came here. He once asked the boss to take off the photo, and Fang Gunong also took a photo of him and Hu Ti with the theme of "Having Fun in Shanghai".
Shen Baixiang no longer remembers this incident.
He felt that Mu Tian's request was a bit excessive, and believed that it was common practice for photo studios to enlarge good photos of customers and hang them in the windows to attract new customers. He rejected Mu Tian's request.
Liu Qinghuai saw that Mutian was very angry, so he told Shen Baixiang the reason for Mutian's request to remove the photo.
Shen Baixiang was greatly surprised when he heard this, and couldn't help shouting: "Ah, you are the son of that dancer, that's what I said."
"Crack!"
Mu Tian slapped him with a big mouth, and Shen Baixiang staggered against the wall of the window, covering his face, looking at Mu Tian in horror, and then at Liu Qinghuai.
Liu Qinghuai also looked at Mu Tian in surprise.
How could this unknown fire come about?
"Pick it off! Believe it or not, I burned down your photo studio?" Mu Tian pointed at Shen Baixiang and yelled.
Seeing Mu Tian's pale face, Liu Qinghuai asked Shen Baixiang to go in and immediately take off the huge photo.
Mu Tian held a photo of Su Xiaoxiao from twenty years ago in his hands, his eyes a little hazy.
He put the photo in the trunk and drove away, completely ignoring Liu Qinghuai's reaction.
I also forgot about my photography and painting competition.
He sent the photo back to Phoenix Tower and hung it respectfully in the small living room on the second floor of the main house.
Sit there and watch.
It wasn't until Ji Ruoxi called and asked when the photography team she was leading would set off that he came to his senses.
