Chapter 26 Guests
After Ning Zhiqian changed her clothes, she just received a message from Chu Yi.
"You're welcome." Chuy said, "Celebrate tonight?"
"Okay, I'll go upstairs to find you after work?" Ning Zhiqian was very excited just after being praised by Joe, and her typing speed was much faster.
It was not convenient for her to look at her mobile phone for a while, so she waited for a reply after sending a message, thinking that she would go to work after she made a deal.After waiting for about 2 minutes, Chu Yi's message did not come, but the urging from colleagues came first.She had no choice but to put the phone away again and talk about it later.
As soon as Ning Zhiqian arrived in the kitchen, she saw Li Xiao counting the ingredients.
"...Good morning." Ning Zhiqian remembered that she didn't ask Zheng Fangyi to explain the matter of "being in two boats", so the tone of greeting was weak.
Li Xiao glanced at her, and actually gave her a smile, "Morning."
Ning Zhiqian was surprised. .
When she was like this, Li Xiao was also awkward, and briefly explained the reason, "Zheng Fangyi explained clearly. I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."
Ning Zhiqian didn't expect Zheng Fangyi to be so reliable, and happily accepted the apology, "It's okay."
Li Xiao looked at the busy colleagues around him, thought for a moment, and said in private, using the reason of going to get the materials together, "You should keep a low profile. Someone saw you and Mr. Chu together, and ran to the Chinese restaurant to inquire."
Ning Zhiqian suddenly became serious.
The purchasing department she met in the parking lot mainly transported ingredients from the Chinese restaurant. She and Chu Yi went to the Chinese restaurant for breakfast yesterday... People in the hotel have contact with each other, gossip colleagues really want to know the details of her and Chu Yi Relationship, it's really right to go this way to inquire.
"Okay, thank you."
Ning Zhiqian became vigilant and planned to tell Chu Yi.However, she had things to do piled up in her hands, and she couldn't walk away, so she could only endure until her lunch break.When it was time for lunch break, she ran to a place with few people and contacted Chu Yi immediately, regardless of her sore legs due to standing for a long time and her hungry stomach.
As soon as she unlocked it, she was taken aback by the number of missed calls and unread messages.
All from mom.
It was not difficult for Ning Zhiqian to guess that her mother's call was about the marriage contract, so she called back without hesitation - anyway, this matter will have to be faced sooner or later, it is better to take the initiative.
Mom quickly answered the phone, "Hello?"
"It's me. What's the matter?"
My mother seemed to be overly angry and her attitude was extremely abnormal. She laughed for a while before saying in a very gentle voice, "Are you off work? Come to the Green Bamboo Box in Jiaqi Restaurant on the third floor."
"I don't have much time, and I'm going to continue working after dinner." Ning Zhiqian refused, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
"Why didn't you come?" Mom snorted, "I asked Chu Yi to back me up and bring the matter to Zheng's house...you are so capable, what can I do to you?"
Sure enough, it was for the marriage contract.
Ning Zhiqian breathed a sigh of relief when she thought that she would not be forced to marry, and was in the mood to respond to her mother's sarcasm, "Mom, things are like this, so you can break off the engagement."
"Do I have any other choice?" Mom became more and more eccentric, "Who wants to marry you now?"
Ning Zhiqian didn't chat with her, and only asked about business, "What else?"
"Come here!" Mom said, "or I'll just throw your shit away!"
"You brought my stuff?"
"Well." Mom said, "I'm free today, let's clean up the trash."
Ning Zhiqian was worried that her mother would throw away notebooks, photos and other souvenirs, so she compromised, "I'll go right away, you wait."
Mom said "Oh" and hung up the phone in seconds, as if to vent her anger.
Ning Zhiqian didn't care, and called Chu Yi instead.
"Hello?" Chuy answered the phone.
Ning Zhiqian heard Chu Yi's background sound was a person saying "market analysis" or something like that, and guessed, "Are you busy?"
"Not too busy." Chuy asked, "What's the matter?"
Ning Zhiqian said, "My mother came over with my luggage, and it's in the green bamboo box in the restaurant on the third floor. I want to go over and get it, can you send me a bodyguard?"
"Go directly, don't be afraid." Chu Yi was already prepared, "I have already been reported to me when she entered the hotel, and I sent someone to watch it, it's okay."
Ning Zhiqian was pleasantly surprised, "Okay! Thank you!"
Chu Yi warned again, "Call me if you need anything."
"Ok!"
Ning Zhiqian instantly gained confidence.
With Chu Yi by her side, what is she afraid of?
Ning Zhiqian went to the third floor with ignited momentum, and as soon as she got out of the elevator, she saw the bodyguard who had gone to the market with her.The bodyguard received Chu Yi's instruction, took the initiative to meet him, pointed in a direction and said, "Over there."
"How many people did my mother bring?"
"Two, one driver, one assistant, both with suitcases in their hands." The bodyguard explained here, and suddenly said, "Don't worry, I can hit three by one."
"..." Ning Zhiqian wanted to laugh when she saw the bodyguard saying this seriously.
The bodyguard continued to lead her forward, "This is the green bamboo box."
Ning Zhiqian raised her hand and knocked on the door.
The door opened quickly, and it was Driver Dong who had worked in the Ning family for several years. Not far away, Assistant Lu, who often helped with things, was standing and pouring tea, and the one who was sitting and eating snacks was my mother.
"Yo." Mom looked over, "Didn't Chuy come with you?"
Ning Zhiqian didn't answer, she focused all her attention on the suitcase beside her, "Are these all my things?"
"Yeah." Mom's tone was calm, but her words were quite ugly, "I've figured it out, even if I raise a dog and the dog follows someone else, I have to give it away for the sake of my previous affection. Don't regret it." Money spent."
Ning Zhiqian frowned, "Why do you speak so harshly?"
Mom laughed, "You've coaxed Chuy into submission, you must be nice to speak, do you want to teach me?"
Ning Zhiqian stopped talking, and instead opened the suitcase to look around.There are two boxes of clothes, all of which she often wears, and one box of sundries, including her notebooks from school, small trophies she won, and photo albums and photo frames.She glanced at it and found the most critical problem.
"Why did you cut it?" Ning Zhiqian picked up the photo that once belonged to her and her sister and asked, "This is a photo of me and my sister!"
Mom sneered, "She's my daughter, not your sister."
"..." Ning Zhiqian understood the meaning of severing ties, and caressed the rough cut photo, leaving only a corner of her sister's clothes.
Mom took a sip of tea, pretended that she didn't exist, and told the assistant next to her, "It's a nice box, why are there idle people waiting to come in? You go to the waiter."
"No, I'll go by myself." Ning Zhiqian didn't intend to stay any longer, she put away her things and pulled the box out.
Three big boxes, if placed in the lounge, will hinder others.The bodyguard offered to keep it for her, Ning Zhiqian nodded, and went to arrange the luggage together.After working for a while, she returned to the lounge, and what she saw was a quiet scene—colleagues were used to being busy, and they ate at a fast pace. Most of them had already finished their lunch, so take the time to rest for a while.
The lunch box that belonged to her stayed quietly on the coffee table.
Others were resting, so Ning Zhiqian could only find a place with the boxed lunch. After walking around for a while, she felt that the not-so-hot lunch in her hand was completely cold.She finally found a chair with sundries in the corridor, sat down in the narrow space, opened the lunch box, and saw discolored vegetables, mushy sauce, and steamless rice.
She took a sip with the chopsticks, somehow remembered the sumptuous dishes her mother had ordered, chuckled lightly, and speeded up her meal.
Randomly picking two bites to fill her stomach, Ning Zhiqian packed her things, took her mobile phone and started to log in to the cloud storage apps she had used, such as cloud storage, email, notes, etc., desperately looking for a photo of herself and her sister.There are group photos, but they are all from recent years, without the precious memories that my mother cut out: the full moon photo of her sister and her dressed as a bunny, the childhood photo of her playing house with her sister, her sister hugging Looking at her, she held the graduation photo of the certificate...
Ning Zhiqian was dejected, and went back to the missed call, checked it several times, but there was no trace of her sister's call.
Is this an attitude?
Ning Zhiqian wasn't sure, she stared at her sister's number for a long time but didn't make up her mind to call and ask.
She hesitated when footsteps were heard not far away.
Ning Zhiqian instinctively thought it was a colleague, and looked back while putting away her phone.
Seeing this, she almost dropped her phone.
"Chu Yi?" Ning Zhiqian was surprised, "Why are you here?"
Chu Yi asked without answering, "Have you eaten yet?"
Ning Zhiqian nodded, and then guessed the reason for Chu Yi's sudden appearance, "Did you hear what Xiao Zhou said?"
Xiao Zhou is the bodyguard who accompanied her to see her mother. She seems to be a big-bodied and thick-skinned bodyguard, but at critical moments, she can always say "I can hit three at a time" and "the photo frame is packed in a bag alone, and it is easy to shatter when placed in a suitcase".
"Yes." Chu Yi generously admitted
"You don't have to do this." Ning Zhiqian felt sorry, "You are so busy..."
"I have to eat when I'm busy." Chu Yi raised the bag in his hand, "I asked Joe for a 15-minute vacation, you can eat with me."
Ning Zhiqian smelled a faint smell of meat and was disappointed, her eyes were already chasing the bag.
Chu Yi chuckled lightly, took her by the hand and took her away, "Today we have salt and pepper pork ribs, beef soup, stir-fried vegetables..."
Ning Zhiqian was obedient.
They went back to Chewie's office for dinner.Ning Zhiqian completely forgot that she said "eat" and kept chopsticks.Not to mention the taste, the hot taste is much better than the one she lost when it was cold. She regained her appetite, and after eating quickly, she found that Chu Yi didn't eat much, so she quickly picked a piece of beef, "Isn't today's beef fishy?" ?”
"Yeah." Chu Yi didn't wait for her to put it in the bowl, and ate it with chopsticks, "It's delicious."
Ning Zhiqian worked harder to help Chuy get some delicious food.
15 minutes is still too short, they are full and only have 3 minutes left to collect things.
"I'll collect it." Chuy said, "Call grandma."
"grandmother?"
"Well, she heard that we ran into a follower and was worried."
Ning Zhiqian nodded, "But I don't know the phone number."
"Call with my mobile phone." Chu Yi was busy packing the lunch box, unable to move her hands, "You can take your pockets yourself."
Ning Zhiqian stretched out her hand to take it, and was stunned when she saw the interface for entering the password on the phone.
"0816." Chuy said, "My birthday."
Ning Zhiqian entered the password, clicked on the N letter and successfully found grandma's number.
Grandma seemed to have been waiting, and answered quickly, her tone was aggressive, "What are you doing!"
"..." Ning Zhiqian said weakly, "Grandma, I am Ning Zhiqian."
"Oh, Zhiqian!" Grandma's tone changed instantly, and she asked softly, "Have you eaten yet?"
"Eat, how about you?" Ning Zhiqian said obediently.
"I've eaten too. I heard from Yiyi that you met someone who was following you? Is everything alright?"
"It's all good. In fact, it's someone I know, so I misunderstood a bit." Ning Zhiqian didn't want to hide it from the worried grandma, so she explained vaguely, "Now there will be no problem if I make it clear."
"Then I'm relieved." Grandma said, "It's better to be a good boy and tell grandma everything. Yiyi talked in a mess, and talked about it like a happy event..."
Chuy paused, leaned over and said to the phone, "Grandma! I can hear you!"
Ning Zhiqian handed over the phone, and after making a humanoid stand for a while, she heard grandma shouting, "I want to talk to Qianqian, you go!"
"Okay." Chuy gave an aggrieved look.
Ning Zhiqian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and when she answered the phone, she patted Chu Yi on the shoulder to comfort her.
"Qianqian, my birthday is coming up, it will be in the middle of next month." Grandma said, "Will you come to my birthday banquet?"
Ning Zhiqian agreed, "Okay."
"Will you and Joe help me make my birthday cake?"
"it is good."
"Come and say hello to Yiyi's parents, okay?"
Ning Zhiqian reported her heart to be obedient to the old man, and answered quickly, "Okay."
and many more!
Ning Zhiqian recovered, "What did you say? I want to see Chu Yi's parents?"
"Yes!" Grandma was very happy, "That's it!"
Ning Zhiqian was dumbfounded.
She...why did she agree to meet her parents in such a muddle?
-
After a tight 15 minutes, Ning Zhiqian went back to work, and Chu Yi asked her assistant to clean up the office further.
Secretary Fang didn't need to do this kind of small work, but she also came along.
"Number." Secretary Fang handed her the phone directly.
Chu Yi took it, staring at the name "An Ruofei" in the address book and thinking.Secretary Fang knows current affairs and knows that she needs a private space. In such 2 minutes, she helped the little assistant speed up to clean up the mess of lunch and retreat with the good things.
The office is quiet.
Chewie sighed and pressed the call button.
A few seconds later, An Ruofei answered the phone, "Hello?"
"I'm Chuy." Chuy said straight, "You don't want to attend grandma's birthday party."
Her voice became cold, but An Ruofei didn't change. She pinched her throat and asked her in a coquettish voice, "Why?"
Chuy snorted softly.
"you owe me."
