The lingering water mist rose up from the cup, the rich mellow aroma of coffee filled the tip of the nose, and the humming music beside the ear was soothing and pleasant. It should have been a warm and comfortable atmosphere. However, at this time, the two people sitting opposite felt nothing but embarrassment.
Gu An glanced at the woman stirring the coffee across from him with her lowered eyes. He coughed slightly and said, “I heard that Miss Shen is a violinist in the Symphony Orchestra and has been famous for a long time. I am lucky enough to meet her in person today, and your reputation is indeed well-deserved.”
Jiang Rui had a polite smile on her lips: “Mr. Gu is too generous.”
After that, there was another uncomfortable silence.
Gu An frowned and smiled bitterly. He had long heard that there was a young lady in the Shen family who was cold and quiet and did not interact much with their circle. Today was the first time they met. This Miss Shen seemed to be even more amazing than others described her, but her personality was just really cold.
“I think that Miss Shen is the same as me. She doesn’t know the arrangements of the elders in the family. It’s just that we can hardly violate the elders’ intentions, so I can only wronged Miss Shen and sit with me.”
“Mr. Gu is serious. At least, the coffee here is good, which can be considered a reward.” Jiang Rui picked up the coffee cup and took a sip.
After hearing this, Gu An loosened his brows and said with a smile: “Miss Shen knows life better than I do.”
After sitting there for two hours, the play finally ended. The two elderly people saw that they were having a conversation, and their faces were obviously happy.
When they separated, Old Madam Gu said: “Have you exchanged mobile phone numbers? You young people have a common topic. If you get to know more people, you can become friends. You can make an appointment to have a meal together and have fun together in the future.”
Hearing what she said, Jiang Rui and Gu An had no choice but to exchange contact information.
In the car on the way back, Old Madam Shen felt a little guilty and did not dare to look at Jiang Rui.
In the end, Jiang Rui sighed and said, “I know that Grandma is doing it for my own good. From now on, you can just talk about this kind of thing. I won’t be angry.”
Old Madam Shen was obviously relieved, “It was Grandma who did something inappropriate today, but I won’t do it next time.”
“It’s because I’m not sensible. So, Grandma still has to worry about me when I’m so old.”
“If Grandma doesn’t worry about you, who else can I worry about?” Old Madam Shen said. Seeing that she really did not care, she was able to find out what was going on in the afternoon. “What do you think of this young man from the Gu family?”
“He’s a nice guy. But Grandma, I don’t think that his personality and I are a good match, and he’s not very interested in me. We didn’t actually say much while sitting in the afternoon,” Jiang Rui said truthfully.
Old Madam Shen looked a little disappointed but quickly said: “If it’s not suitable, forget it. Just treat it as a friend. Let’s not be in a hurry and take our time.”
“Yeah.” Jiang Rui nodded.
When the two people arrived at the door of the house, they saw a black car parked outside the courtyard.
“Is there a guest?” Old Madam Shen said to herself. When Nanny Xu came to open the door, she asked, “Which guest is it?”
“It was Mr. Xing, who came to ask for rose seeds a few days ago. Today he brought a pot of orchids and said it was a thank-you gift.”
“A few flowering branches and a few seeds are not worthy of a thank-you gift.” Old Madam Shen said.
Just as she was talking, she saw Xing Yan and his assistant coming out of the main room. They met face-to-face on the cobblestone path.
Xing Yan came to the door today to thank the old man. But he did not see the little beauty. He was about to leave with regret. But when he saw the person walking toward him, his eyes lit up.
