Chapter 221: Parents of Senior Officials
After driving for more than four hours, Xu Tao and Shen Hongjie arrived at Shen Hongjie's home.
The high wall was also tied with a power grid. Two soldiers stood straight with guns outside the gate. When they saw it, Xu Tao thought he had run to the prison, but at the gate, you could see the green trees inside, and the second floor buildings were distributed among them. Only then did you know that this was a military compound, and those living here were senior military officers.
Seeing Shen Hongjie's car parked at the door, one of the soldiers bowed and walked over and said, "Please show your ID if you are a lady."
Shen Hongjie took out a small black-skinned book and handed it to the soldier. The soldier glanced at it, and then immediately handed it back to Shen Hongjie respectfully, saying, "Miss Chen, please wait, I will open the door immediately."
Shen Hongjie drove into the compound and said, "These two soldiers are new, and I didn't have to get my ID when I came back."
Xu Tao smiled, secretly praising Shen Hongjie in his heart. Most children who grew up in such an environment would call and drink with the soldiers, and they were afraid that the new recruits would be even more impatient when they dared to check their IDs. However, Shen Hongjie was able to face them calmly and showed good cultivation, which was really a little different from the Shen Hongjie who was angry at any time.
Seeing that there were some soldiers patrolling back and forth in the yard, Xu Tao had to say this time: "Hongjie, you are so awesome here. As soon as you enter here, you feel that your value seems to be a little different."
Shen Hongjie turned her head and looked at Xu Tao, saying, "Do you like this place? Don't you feel like a prison?"
Xu Tao smiled and said, "You can't say anything, I really feel that a little bit."
Between these small buildings, Shen Hongjie turned a few turns and the car stopped in front of a building. However, when she saw a silver-gray BMW parked at the door, her brows frowned, "Why did this bastard come too?"
"Who? Does it have anything to do with us?"
Shen Hongjie said angrily: "It was Shi Qingyun, who we met last night. He was so close to his legs. He arrived at my house one step earlier than us."
Xu Tao smiled and said, "Ha. This is really lively. Your parents' prospective son-in-law and my fake son-in-law will hit the Earth."
"Go to your place, I'm still in the mood to joke. We'll be able to make a little bit better without him. If there's that guy, I'll definitely try my best to make trouble."
"That may not be. With that guy as a foil, maybe we can get along a little easier. Let's see who my father-in-law and mother-in-law are in the future. We can make my prospective wife frown."
Seeing that Xu Tao had already got out of the car, Shen Hongjie had to jump down quickly and walk to Xu Tao's side first.
"Hello Miss Chen!" A young man in his early twenties opened the door with a respectful look on his face.
"Yes." Shen Hongjie nodded and said to Xu Tao, "This is my mother's serviceman Xiao Li." Xu Tao smiled and nodded at Xiao Li. The young man looked smart and immediately greeted Xu Tao.
"Hongjie, you are back!" Shi Qingyun walked out quickly when he heard the voice, greeting Shen Hongjie with a smile on his face, but when he saw Xu Tao, he looked bad.
Shen Hongjie snorted coldly, reached out to hold Xu Tao's arm, and said, "Xu Tao, this is my home, let's go in."
Xu Tao blinked at Shi Qingyun, smiled proudly again, and walked in with a wipe of Shi Qingyun's body.
Shi Qingyun's face twitched. Xu Tao was so arrogant. He was usually respected everywhere he went. Now a young manager was actually like this to him. He rolled his eyes in anger, took a breath, and then turned around and walked into the living room.
At this time, a man in his fifties with square face and thick eyebrows sat on the sofa in the living room. His temples were a little gray, but he was full of energy and his tiger eyes were full of power. Just sitting there, he had a sense of being arrogant without anger.
On the other side of the sofa was a woman in her forties with short hair and crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, but she had beautiful appearance and noble temperament, which was very similar to Shen Hongjie.
These two are naturally Shen Hongjie's parents.
"Dad, mom, I'm back." Shen Hongjie also let go of Xu Tao at this time and said hello in a regular manner.
"Hmph! You still know how to come back." Shen Hongjie's father snorted coldly. He sat there without moving, while her mother stood up and said with a smile: "Xiaojie, come, let mom see, and you won't come back after running out for so long. Look at you, your skin is black, and you don't pay attention to maintenance."
Although both of them were talking about Shen Hongjie, their eyes were all looking at Xu Tao, with a sharp look, looking up and down.
People in high positions will have a kind of power when they look at people. Most people will subconsciously avoid them when they meet them, but Xu Tao looked at them calmly, with a faint smile on his face and said, "Hello uncle and aunt!"
Shen Hongjie's parents looked at each other, and Shen's father pointed to the sofa opposite him and said, "Sit down." He was not polite, but he was particularly cold.
At this time, Shi Qingyun naturally sat on a sofa next to him and poured a cup of tea for Shen’s father and Xu Tao. He looked so hard that he was already a member of the house, and Xu Tao was like a guest.
"Xiaojie, I want to die. Come and chat with me for a while." Shen's mother pulled Shen Hongjie and walked towards the bedroom.
Shen Hongjie looked back at Xu Tao with a look of anxiety, while Xu Tao smiled at her, extremely calm, which made Shen Hongjie relax a little and followed her mother into the bedroom.
"Your name is Xu Tao?" Shen's father took a sip of tea and looked at the tea leaves floating in the tea cup.
Xu Tao also picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "Yes, this tea is good, it should be the best Dahongpao, which is hard for ordinary people to drink."
Shi Qingyun immediately said, "This is naturally. I bought my tea specifically for my uncle. This is not the kind of Dahongpao planted on a large scale, but the real Dahongpao on Wuyi Mountain. Ordinary people can't even buy it if they want to."
After hearing what Shi Qingyun said, Shen's father said, "Qingyun, you're too busy." A faint smile appeared on his face. He was good chess and good tea. He could only drink this top-quality Dahongpao once in a few years. This time, Shi Qingyun specially brought him this tea, which immediately made him very pleased.
Xu Tao turned the teacup and said, "Then I'm really lucky, I can drink such tea."
Shi Qingyun seemed even more proud and said, "That's natural. Do you think this tea can be drunk by anyone? That is, you can only drink it by the uncle's light."
If this wasn't at Shen Hongjie's house, Shi Qingyun took this opportunity to show himself, and he wouldn't bother to pay attention to it, but Shen Hongjie had something to ask for him. If Shi Qingyun was so pleased by others, wouldn't Xu Tao come in vain this time? He took a teacup and turned it around twice. Xu Tao took a sip and said, "Your tea is really good, it's a big red robe. It's a pity..." Xu Tao shook his head, looking like he was eager to speak.
Shi Qingyun frowned and said, "What a pity?"
"It's a pity that this tea is a good tea, but the brewing method is somewhat inappropriate."
Shi Qingyun had no research on tea ceremony, but he just picked up some expensive and rare tea leaves for Chen's father. However, he also knew that there were many ways to make tea. When he came in just now, he was eager to buy it from Chen's father, so he directly made a pot with the teapot on the tea table. When Xu Tao said this, he felt a little confused.
At this time, Chen's father looked at Xu Tao and said, "Then how do you think this tea should be made?"
Xu Tao smiled and said, "Hongjie has long said that uncle, you like to drink tea. If I ask for tea in front of you, then some people will show off their skills."
"Ha... the young man is very interesting. Xiao Li, bring me that set of kung fu tea set." Chen's father greeted him at this time, and Xiao Li quickly brought over a set of exquisite tea sets, while Chen's father started to make kung fu tea by himself.
Xu Tao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know much about making tea, but he knew that this big red robe was very precious, so he must be very particular when brewing. He just missed it a little, and it was really right.
"Come on! You have another drink this time." Chen's father poured Xu Tao a glass.
Xu Tao took a sip, then squinted his eyes and savored it, saying, "This is the best tea. The tea is good, and the uncle has better skills, so it tastes good when it tastes."
Chen's father also slowly savored the tea and said, "This Dahongpao is indeed the best among tea. I rarely drank it once. Qingyun just made it for me. I realized it was a waste of it after drinking it."
Although both of them praised the tea for being good, Shi Qingyun was not happy at all. It was obviously his own tea, but now Xu Tao showed it, and it made him look very ignorant. Although he was drinking tea as if he was decent, he only had the bitter taste of the tea in his mouth, and he could no longer taste the special fragrance of the best Dahongpao.
After drinking two sips of tea, Chen's father put down the teacup and said, "I heard that you are in love with Hongjie in our family?"
Xu Tao replied politely: "Yes, we are still in a good time. Although there are always some quarrels occasionally, I still feel that it is OK."
Father Chen stared at Xu Tao and said, "Oh, do you often quarrel?"
"Yes, I often quarrel, almost every three days a little, every ten days a big quarrel." Xu Tao answered very simply.
Shi Qingyun was so happy. He felt that Xu Tao was so stupid that he could not say such words in front of Shen Hongjie's parents. Even if it was really noisy, he had to cover it up with clever words. Now he was waiting for Chen's father to sweep Xu Tao out of the house.
