Chapter 10: Who is that woman?
Sitting in the middle of the dining table was the old man of the Xiao family.
The old man was wearing an orthodox Mao suit, and the heroic spirit revealed between his eyebrows had three or four points of Xiao Junchen's current shadow, and he must also be a handsome guy who amazed the years at that time.
It's just that time has precipitated on him, leaving more stability, and the originally sharp eyebrows have become a little more kind, which makes Fang Zhiyu's heart a little nervous, and calms down a lot.
When she looked at the old man, the other party was also silently watching him.
With shrewd eyes, he looked back and forth on Fang Zhiyu and Xiao Junchen, and finally showed a somewhat satisfied look.
"Speaking of which, Zhiyu, I haven't seen your grandfather for a long time. The old man took the initiative to say with a smile, "I heard that he has been busy with the company's affairs recently." ”
"It's not like me, and now I'm a hands-off shopkeeper. ”
After Xiao Junchen took over the company from him, the old man lived a quiet and comfortable retirement life.
Fang Zhiyu heard the meaning of Old Man Xiao's words, her eyes immediately fell on the old man, and she smiled very well-behaved and pleasant, "Yes, grandpa often mentions in front of me how comfortable you live every day, and I also want to learn from you to be a hands-off shopkeeper, but I think I am still too young and a girl, so I want to learn more." ”
"Why don't you call grandpa next time, let's get together together?" Fang Zhiyu's words hit the heart of Old Man Xiao, and the old man suddenly smiled.
"Okay. He nodded, "I'll have to talk to him." ”
The old man was testing her ability just now, so Fang Zhiyu specifically said that her grandfather had already hinted at letting her take over the company, but she didn't want to. In this way, it is really impossible to find faults.
In the seat three or four people away from her, the uncle couldn't help but laugh.
"Twenty-five or sixteen, are you still young?" his chopsticks hit the dishes and made a screeching sound, "How did I hear that Old Man Fang didn't have the idea of entrusting the Fang family to you at all?"
"Huh?" Fang Zhiyu paused, his words were really a little abrupt.
Hearing this, Xiao Junchen's eyes sank, but he didn't speak, and looked at Fang Zhiyu quietly, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
"I don't know where Uncle heard the news?" Fang Zhiyu smiled naturally, but her eyes showed a little displeasure, "I'm grandpa's only granddaughter, is it possible that I will give up my career to others?"
"That's not a real deal. Uncle intentionally or unintentionally fiddled with the food on the plate, and his mind was all on Fang Zhiyu, "It's difficult for a girl like you to take on a heavy responsibility from a young age, right?"
The man's smile was very playful, as if he was sure that Fang Zhiyu couldn't bear him.
"Whether you can take on the heavy responsibility or not, the actual performance can give the answer. Fang Zhiyu puffed up her chest, her eyes were full of determination, she was very confident, she hadn't seen anyone who questioned her ability since she was a child, and she was able to fight back skillfully.
"Really?" the uncle smiled evilly, as if he was looking at the excitement, "If something happens at that time, it will be a slap in the face." ”
Xiao Junchen suddenly put down the chopsticks in his hand, the tableware and the tableware collided with each other to make a crisp and piercing sound, his face was expressionless, but he showed a cold light for no reason, "Zhiyu's achievements seem to be no worse than that of the uncle, right?"
Uncle frowned, his cheeks flushed, indeed, he is now about forty years old, and his performance is miserable compared to his peers, even Xiao Junchen, a junior, is above him.
"Again. Xiao Junchen picked up the napkin that was placed aside, wiped his lips lightly, and his tone was cool and a little doting, "Besides, Zhiyu has me, so you don't need others to worry." ”
Old Man Xiao had been watching this incident from beginning to end, and when he saw this scene at this moment, his eyes flashed, and he smiled with relief, "Okay, the family has a good meal and relaxes." ”
"It's that I shouldn't have brought the business to the dinner table. He smiled easily, and despite his extraordinary temperament, he did not feel a sense of distance at all.
Xiao Junchen's doting on Fang Zhiyu in his eyes stung Xiao Yuanyuan.
She was very awkward, she clutched her chopsticks tightly, and looked back and forth on Fang Zhiyu unwillingly.
This woman is not very good! Why does my brother love her so much!
The more she thought about it, the more unwilling she became, so she put down her chopsticks and pretended to look at Xiao Junchen unintentionally, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, "The last time I saw my brother's gentle and doting appearance, it was when I was with Sister Xuan." ”
"Such a brother is so handsome!"
Sister Xuan, Fang Zhiyu is not a fool, how can she hear the meaning of Xiao Yuanyuan's words.
I'm afraid that this "Sister Xuan" is not simple, and her heart is inexplicably astringent, and the things in her mouth suddenly lose their taste.
The people present were also extremely sensitive when they heard this name, and they lowered their heads one after another, and no one dared to continue talking.
On the other hand, the smile on Xiao Yuanyuan's face at the moment has a great joy of succeeding in her heart.
Fang Zhiyu subconsciously clenched the corners of her clothes, and her heart was instantly raised to her throat.
"What are you doing with her?" Xiao Junchen scolded sharply, his aura was too cold, causing the people around him to be silent.
Fang Zhiyu raised his head and looked at Xiao Junchen, but found that his brows were furrowed at the moment, he should have remembered something.
Among them, there must be something greasy, as for this "Sister Xuan", for Xiao Junchen, she must not be an ordinary person.
She could even feel her heart beating faster and her thoughts start to get agitated, and she shoved her mouth full of food, trying to suppress the strange feeling.
Xiao Yuanyuan restrained her edge and quietly observed Fang Zhiyu's response.
"I'm full. Xiao Junchen got up and left directly from here, with a little impatience on his face.
Seeing this, Fang Zhiyu felt more like a sullen breath in her heart, and she couldn't go up or down.
Walking out of the hall, Xiao Junchen offered to send Fang Zhiyu home, but she refused.
"No, I don't. She waved her hand and smiled her trademark smile, "You're too tired during the day, so you might as well rest early." ”
She hoped that Xiao Junchen would go his own way, but Xiao Junchen just nodded
"Then let the driver drop you off. His tone was so indifferent that he couldn't detect a trace of emotional fluctuations, "Talk to me when it's time to speak." ”
Sitting in the car, Fang Zhiyu finally breathed a sigh of relief, she leaned on the back seat a little weakly, and her mind was full of the sentence "Sister Xuan".
Outside the car window, the palatial Xiao family's mansion is gradually moving away, and the scene of Xiao Junchen standing outside the gate is unspeakably lonely......
Who the hell is that woman?
