Chapter 42: I Am an Orphan
"Why don't you have breakfast at home?" Owen led the subject to his inner question.
Where did you get breakfast at home, Ivy sighed softly. Since her grandfather died, she hasn't eaten a live-in meal.
"I'm too lazy to do it, I'd rather sleep a little more in the morning. Go to the office and make a cup of cereal to fill your stomach. ”
"You live alone, what about your parents?" Owen asked.
"Why do you want to ask so much? I don't seem to know you very well. Ivy looked at him warily.
"Just ask, it's okay if you don't want to say it. Owen shrugged.
"A big man so gossipy. Ivy hiccuped, "My parents are divorced a long time ago, and I live with my dad, but ......" She stopped halfway through her sentence.
I haven't heard from my dad for another two or three months. I don't know if he's getting better lately, he can't afford to work in the laboratory every day?
Ai Bingqing hasn't been home for nearly half a year, and every time the father and daughter talk on the phone, the call lasts no more than a minute.
All she knew was that her father was busy with an important scientific research project, and often only slept three or four hours a day. The company had a bedroom in the lab dedicated to him, where he lived during this time.
"But what?" Owen asked, seeing that she didn't speak.
He was too busy to go home, and in the past few months, he has been eating and living in the company. ”
"What did your father do? He asked knowingly.
What does Dad do? For so many years, Ivy also knew nothing about this problem. My father never talked to him about work. Of course, even if she did, she didn't necessarily understand, so she didn't ask carefully. She only knew that she was doing research in biology.
"My dad is a biologist, and he often stays in the laboratory for more than half a year for the research project in hand. ”
Owen nodded thoughtfully, and secretly wondered: No wonder Ai Bingqing and her don't live together, it turns out that they are busy in the laboratory every day. Does this mean that the rumors that the success of the "Constant" plan is imminent? If you want to find a way, go to Huamei Company as soon as possible to find out.
"Your father ......" Owen was about to ask something, but was interrupted by Ivy.
"Don't keep talking about me! What about you, what did your parents do? Look at your style, is your family a miner, or is it real estate?"
"I am an orphan with no father or mother. Owen said lightly.
"Lonely...... Son?" Ivy looked Owen up and down in disbelief. How could he be an orphan? What a man is really unseemly, and judging by his style, he still thinks that his family is either rich or expensive.
She stuck out her tongue, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked." ”
Owen looked at the paper in his hand and didn't say anything more.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Ivy thought that her words had made him sad, and she felt a little unbearable, so she said flatteringly, "Thank you for your breakfast." ”
Owen didn't look up, snickering at the paper in his hand.
Ivy leaned over and asked, "What are you drawing?"
"Nothing. Owen shook his head, pretending to be nervous and holding the sketchbook in his arms.
"Show me, hurry. ”
Ivy snatched his sketchbook and grumbled, "What are you drawing, it's annoying." ”
The paper shows Ivy eating — she is hunched up like an orangutan with a wide open mouth, holding a shrimp dumpling in her mouth. The cartoon exaggerates her expression, and the portrait in the painting is funny and cute.
Without saying anything, she tore off the page of the drawing paper, "You have violated my portrait rights, and this painting should belong to me." ”
A male colleague from the same department hurriedly passed in front of Ivy with a camera in his hand. In Nuoda's office, only Ivy and Owen were left at this time.
Sitting idle in the office on weekdays feels like being forgotten by the world.
"You weren't assigned a task today?" Owen asked, looking around.
Ivy shook her head, sat down in front of the computer, and muttered, "I'd better find a topic myself." ”
"Didn't I tell you yesterday to familiarize yourself with the news reports of the typhoon in advance?"
"Tell me about it!" Ivy pointed her finger at her nose and sneered disdainfully, "Please figure out who the teacher is between us?
"Of course, I've read it all. Owen said lightly.
Ivy glanced at the books on the table in disbelief, nearly twenty books, a thick stack, how could it be possible to read them all in one night?
He must have been fooling me. Ivy shrunk her chin, rolled her eyes at Owen, and smiled maliciously, "Liar." ”
"You don't believe me, you can test me. Owen looked confident.
