In the office, Zhong Zhiqi finished work and was about to get off work, when Zhong Qiaoyun suddenly appeared.

"Went home for dinner tonight with guests. Zhong Qiaoyun said.

Zhong Zhiqi thought he was going back to Zhong's house, so when he followed Zhong Qiaoyun, he asked casually, "What guest did grandpa invite?"

"It's not my grandfather, it's me. An's daughter, Anne, came back, and I asked her to come to the house for dinner. ”

"Annie?" Zhong Zhiqi asked in surprise.

"yes, I remember you guys used to play together when you were kids. ”

Zhong Zhiqi frowned, "I'm playing with her second brother." ”

"It's all the same. Zhong Qiaoyun said disapprovingly.

Not long after Zhong Qiaoyun and Zhong Zhiqi arrived home, Anne arrived as promised.

"It's okay for people to come, what are you doing with so many things, it's too hard. Zhong Qiaoyun said to Anne, who came in with something.

"Auntie, thank you for inviting me to my house, no one in my own family cares about me. Anne replied.

Zhong Qiaoyun pulled Anne to sit down, "You are in China, they can't help it if they want to be abroad, we are close, and we will come over when we are free in the future." ”

Anne smiled and nodded, and Zhong Zhiqi was directly left aside.

"Just came back, is there anything you are not used to?" Zhong Qiaoyun asked Anne.

"No, it's all good. Anne replied.

"You live in the old mansion now?" Zhong Qiaoyun asked with concern.

"I'm staying at a friend's house now, and my house is ......"

Anne wanted to speak and stopped, and Zhong Qiaoyun also heard a little rumor, saying that Anne returned to China for development, and the family did not agree.

"If it's not particularly complete, just tell me, and I'll make it up for you. ”

"Auntie, I'm just borrowing it temporarily, I'm already finding a new house, and I'll move in two days. I came back for long-term development, not tourism, and it was always more convenient to have my own accommodation. ”

When Zhong Qiaoyun heard this, he immediately looked at Zhong Zhiqi, "Zhiqi can help." ”

Zhong Zhiqi, who was in a daze, came back to his senses, "Yes, yes." ”

"It's inconvenient. Anne saw Zhong Zhiqi's reluctance and turned to Zhong Qiaoyun, "Auntie, I have a new place for you to visit, and I will entertain you." ”

Annie's directness and enthusiasm made Zhong Qiaoyun's expression not very good, and Zhong Zhiqi could only change the topic, "What are you going to do when you come back?"

"I want to do design. Anne replied.

"Design ......" Zhong Zhiqi pondered for a moment, "Isn't it better to develop abroad?"

Anne was not convinced, "In a foreign country, the family arranged everything, and no matter how well I do, I will always be Annie of the An family." But in China, I started my own business, and the domestic market is developing so well, my family has been abroad for a long time, I don't know the situation in China, and I don't know the development potential here. ”

"Ambitious. After Anne finished speaking, Zhong Qiaoyun immediately praised her.

The maid said that dinner was ready, and the three of them went to the restaurant to eat and chat.

Zhong Qiaoyun has been serving vegetables to Anne, and Zhong Zhiqi is like an outsider in comparison. After eating, Zhong Qiaoyun chatted with Anne, and Zhong Zhiqi ran to the balcony on the second floor to smoke alone. The moon was big and round that night, and Zhong Zhiqi looked at the moon alone and smoked, thinking about another person. Not long after he was quiet, Zhong Qiaoyun came upstairs.

"What's the matter with you, Anne is downstairs and you run upstairs by yourself. Zhong Qiaoyun questioned Zhong Zhiqi.

Zhong Zhiqi spat out a puff of smoke rings, his face full of indifference, "Haven't you been chatting with her all the time?" ”

Zhong Qiaoyun glared at Zhong Zhiqi, "Don't you know how big the Anne family's career is in London? ”

Zhong Zhiqi was amused by Zhong Qiaoyun's words, "Mom, did Anne and I know each other for the first day? ”

Zhong Qiaoyun's tone softened a little, "When you met, you were children who were not sensible, but now you ......"

"It's even more impossible now. Zhong Zhiqi extinguished the cigarette butt and said calmly.

"You and Shiyun have to think again. Zhong Qiaoyun said straight to the point.

In fact, Zhong Zhiqi had already expected Zhong Qiaoyun's intentions, but it was useless to directly conflict with her, "I thought about it clearly." ”

Zhong Qiaoyun looked at Zhong Zhiqi and sighed, "Son, although I fancy the family property, after all, I fought it back." But I will not sacrifice your lifelong happiness, you have to trust Mom in this. ”

Zhong Qiaoyun knew that Zhong Zhiqi, who came hard, would not give in, so he changed his strategy to move him with affection, and he wanted to impress Zhong Zhiqi with family affection.

Zhong Zhiqi smiled and asked, "Why won't Shiyun and I be happy?"

Zhong Qiaoyun's expression became serious, "You don't understand now the importance of strong alliances." ”

Zhong Zhiqi's expression was cold, and he turned his gaze to the window, "Mom, I won't change if I choose Shiyun." ”

"You ......"

"It's not good for Anne to be down there alone, let's go down. Zhong Zhiqi didn't want to entangle with Zhong Qiaoyun, so he said.

Zhong Zhiqi turned around, and Zhong Qiaoyun suddenly spoke, "Your grandfather will also think that you are more suitable when he sees Annie." ”

Zhong Zhiqi didn't answer and left first, Zhong Qiaoyun sighed and followed him.

Zhong Qiaoyun and Zhong Zhiqi went downstairs, and Anne had just finished eating dessert.

"How about this bird's nest?" Zhong Qiaoyun asked Anne with concern.

"Very good, Auntie. Anne replied politely.

"This is what our chef is good at, and I will come to eat when I have time in the future, which is good for girls. Zhong Qiaoyun said.

Zhong Zhiqi looked at Annie, "You said you want to do design?"

"yes. Anne responded graciously.

"Some of my friends are designers, and tomorrow I will introduce you to each other, and you can communicate and cooperate to open up the situation faster. ”

Listening to Zhong Zhiqi's words, Annie's eyes lit up, Zhong Qiaoyun looked at Zhong Zhiqi, but he was still very happy to see that Annie was interested.

After that, Zhong Zhiqi sent Anne home. The two of them are not strangers, Zhong Zhiqi and Anne's brother are very familiar, and asked, "Is your brother okay?"

"Very good, I'm about to take over the family's business. Anne replied.

"The last time I went to London was too tight, I didn't see it, and I ...... next time."

"Say these things to him yourself. "Anne grew up abroad and spoke bluntly, knowing that Zhong Zhiqi was looking for something to say.

Zhong Zhiqi was quiet for a moment and then spoke, "Don't take some of what my mother said just now, don't take it to heart. I...... Someone who has a girlfriend. ”

Anne laughed, her habit of flicking her long hair, "I don't know any of this, and I won't have to run back from England if I accept it." ”

Zhong Zhiqi listened and laughed, "That's good." ”

After figuring out the situation, Zhong Zhiqi relaxed a lot, and remembered Brother Anne's instructions, "Your brother asked me to watch you, you can come to me if you have any difficulties." ”

"My brother?" Anne snorted, "If I need your help, what kind of family revolution will I make?"

Zhong Zhiqi listened to Anne's slightly childish words and smiled secretly in his heart, "When you come back, your brother's food, clothing, housing and transportation are almost arranged for you, right?"

Anne's face changed slightly, and she turned her head to look out the window.

"There is no time to be quiet, but there are people who carry the weight forward. Zhong Zhiqi said as if talking to himself.
