Chapter 111: A Thrilling Meal.
Ding Ning thought that the car would be driven by Xia Qimo, but it turned out to be driven by Uncle Xia.
So she and Xia Qimo sat in the back of the car, with the bag of fruit in the middle, fortunately, the car was spacious, and Ding Ning was able to do it.
Along the way, Xia Runian found a topic to talk to Ding Ning.
"After your parents are transferred, your family should settle in the imperial capital, right?"
"Probably so. ”
"What about Xiao Ning, what are Xiao Ning's plans in the future?"
"I was going to take the graduate school entrance examination, but my mother said that I should take the civil service exam and find a stable job, so I came here for an internship and applied for the civil service examination in the imperial capital by the way. ”
"It's good for girls to take the civil service exam, Uncle Xia also wanted to take the civil service exam before, but unfortunately he didn't pass the exam and went to the sea to do business. ”
"It's good to be in business, you see you're doing a lot of success in your investment business. ”
"Uncle Xia is old, it will be up to you young people in the future. ”
Ding Ning heard Xia Runian mention the three words of young man, and couldn't help but glance at Xia Qimo.
Xia Qimo also glanced at her, and asked narrowly, "Do you think I have any doubts, don't you think I'm not like a young man?"
"Nope. Ding Ning hurriedly turned his head away from looking at him.
This brother Qimo, why is he still so sharp.
When the car arrived at Xia's house, it was the same villa compound, but the villa car of the Xia family, the imperial capital, could drive directly into the yard, and the surrounding environment was much better than that of City A, and it had the feeling of a wealthy family.
Ding Ning got out of the car with the Xia family father and son, and a middle-aged woman in her forties and fifties ran over from the gate of the villa, looking like a housekeeper invited by the Xia family.
"Mrs. is waiting at home, this is Miss Ding, she looks so good, come in." As he spoke, he took Ding Ning's arm and went into the house.
Xia Runian introduced to Ding Ning, "This is Aunt Wu, our housekeeping aunt, Aunt Wu's first-hand Huaiyang cuisine, it tastes good, you can eat more at night." ”
"Good. Ding Ning followed Aunt Wu into the gate of the villa.
Yu Shiqin sat in the living room, heard a movement at the door and hurriedly ran out, unlike the last time Ding Ning went to the Xia family villa in City A, Yu Shiqin was obviously much more enthusiastic this time.
As soon as he came over, he took Ding Ning's hand and said with a smile, "Ding Ning is here, welcome!"
"Hello Aunt Yu!"
"Okay, come and sit!" she beckoned Ding Ning to sit in the living room.
Ding Ning sat down, and Aunt Wu was very quick and immediately made tea.
Ding Ning thought that this time he finally didn't need her to soak in it.
It seems that things have changed, and some things have finally returned to square one.
She is now Ding Ning, the daughter of Xia Runian's old friend Ding Wensheng, not the ordinary woman who covets Xia Qimo.
Ding Ning lowered his head and laughed at himself, and when he looked up again, he had already turned himself into Ding Wensheng's daughter instead of the girl who once liked Xia Qimo.
"Uncle Xia's house is so big!" she held the teacup and chatted with the Xia couple, "The living room is the size of our house." ”
"What's the use of a big house, the most important thing is that the family lives happily. Xia Runian replied.
Ding Ning smiled and led the topic to Xia Qihao, "Is Brother Qihao still developing in City A?"
"After the draft, I ran all over the country, and I couldn't stay home all year round. Xia Runian laughed, he was satisfied with Xia Qihao's career development now.
Although he doesn't like a big boy bouncing around the stage all day, it's better than going out and fooling around all day at home.
"I've been paying attention to Brother Qihao, his career is developing very well now, Brother Qimo ......" Ding Ning glanced at Xia Qimo who was sitting next to him.
Then he smiled and said, "Brother Qimo's career is also developing very well, and now he is helping Uncle you take care of the investment bank, Uncle Xia, you are really blessed, my father usually talks about the two brothers in front of me, and asks me to learn more from them." ”
"Really?" Xia Qimo adjusted his sitting posture, half-leaning on the sofa and looking at Ding Ning with one hand, he asked, "What does Uncle Ding usually say about me?"
"Ah!" Ding Ning glanced at Xia Qimo.
What did her father say about him, how could her father evaluate him in front of her, these were all scenes, why couldn't he hear it?
This brain drop is a bit severe.
muttering in his heart, he still had to respond, Ding Ning replied, "My dad said that Brother Qimo, you are a talent, and you are the dragon and phoenix among people." ”
"The evaluation is so high?" Xia Qimo was a little happy, he suddenly turned to Yu Shiqin and said, "Mom, you see that Uncle Ding has commented on me like this, should you also evaluate Sister Ding Ning?"
"What's the evaluation?" Yu Shiqin was confused by him.
"Commented that Ding Ning's sister is cute, beautiful, smart and polite. As he spoke, Xia Qimo suddenly leaned over to Ding Ning again, and asked her with a smile, "Sister Ding Ning, do many people say that you are beautiful?"
"No, no!" Ding Ning moved back and looked at Xia Qimo with some horror.
God, this man ...... How can he be more hippy than Brother Qihao.
"Okay, Qimo, don't tease your sister. "Xia Runian came over to play a round.
At this time, Aunt Wu cut the ordinary fruit and came over, "Mr. and Mrs., this is the fruit that Miss Ding bought, but it is fresh." ”
These words successfully rescued Ding Ning, and she hurriedly went over and picked up a piece of apple with a fork and handed it to Xia Runian, "Uncle Xia, you can taste it." ”
"Good. ”
Ding Ning picked up another piece and handed it to Yu Shiqin.
Yu Shiqin gladly accepted.
Ding Ning returned to his seat.
"Why don't you bring me a piece?" Xia Qimo came over again.
Ding Ning: "......" This person has lost his memory.
She had no choice but to go over and pick up a piece and hand it to Xia Qimo.
Xia Qimo didn't take it with his hands, but opened his mouth to bite a piece, and after tasting it, he said to Xia Runian and Yu Shiqin, "Well, this apple is indeed very sweet." ”
Xia Runian smiled.
Yu Shiqin suddenly lost her desire to eat, she said to Xia Qimo, "Ding Ning handed it to you and you can just follow it, why do you bite it with your mouth?"
"Got it. Xia Qimo answered honestly, then reached out and took the fork and continued to eat.
He said to Xia Runian while eating, "I think our family has a girl, you see that Ding Ning's mother always talks to her when she comes." ”
"That's because Ding Ning is sensible and endearing. Xia Runian replied.
Xia Qimo asked Yu Shiqin, "Mom must have liked Ding Ning very much before, right?"
Yu Shiqin: "......"
Ding Ning: "......"
There was a sudden silence in the living room.
After a long time, Yu Shiqin said, "Of course, Ding Ning is your Uncle Ding's daughter, and she is well-behaved, who wouldn't like it?"
These words are naturally face-saving words, and most of them are also said to Xia Runian.
Ding Ning smiled.
Xia Qimo also smiled after hearing this, and he said while forking the apple with a fork, "It seems that I have to take care of this little sister more, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to Uncle Ding." ”
"Of course you kid have to take good care of it. Xia Runian seemed to suddenly think of something, and he asked Ding Ning, "Xiao Ning, where do you live now?"
"Company dormitory. Ding Ning replied cautiously, she was afraid that she would accidentally jump into a pit and then make Yu Shiqin unhappy.
"Does your company still have a dormitory near Tianfu International?" asked Xia Qimo.
He asked as he bit the apple, which rattled in his mouth, and felt like it was a human delicacy.
Ding Ning was a little out of breath, she felt that since she came in, Uncle Xia and Xia Qimo had cared about her a little too much.
Of course, it is understandable for a person who has never met to suddenly come to the house and ask these questions.
However, for Yu Shiqin, she is not a person she has never met.
This is also why Ding Ning is worried.
"Our company's dormitory is at the headquarters, just a subway ride away. ”
"That's a long way off. Xia Qimo bit the apple again, "Otherwise, I'll arrange a dormitory for you." ”
"Oh, no, no. Ding Ning hurriedly waved her hand, in order to refuse Xia Qimo's kindness, she immediately moved out of what her mother said before, "My mother said that she would come over in two days to help me rent an apartment." ”
"Renting an apartment, renting an apartment near Tianfu International is not cheap. Xia Qimo bit the apple again, as if thinking about something, and after a while he asked Xia Runian, "Dad, don't you have an apartment near the company?"
"Yes, yes, yes. Xia Runian got reminded and immediately said, "That apartment has been empty for a long time, or you should move in first." ”
"No, not really. Ding Ning's hand was rattling.
"I won't be here for more than a few days, so I'm going to leave soon, so don't bother, really. Ding Ning was about to cry.
"Your dad is my best friend in life, so Xiao Ning, don't shirk it. Tomorrow, I'll ask Qimo to help you move. ”
"Uncle Xia!"
"Old Xia. Yu Shiqin finally spoke, "If Ding Ning doesn't want you, don't embarrass her." ”
"Why don't you want to, this kid doesn't want to trouble us, the house is empty, and you can help me clean it when you move in, so it's decided. ”
Xia Runian stood up and shouted to the kitchen after speaking, "Aunt Wu, is the meal ready, can you start the meal?"
Ding Ning: "......"
Xia Qimo continued to nibble on his apple.
Only Yu Shiqin had a black face.
Before sitting down for dinner, Ding Ning said that he was going to the bathroom, and then ran into the bathroom to send a message to his mother.
"Mom, Uncle Xia wants to give me his apartment near Tianfu International, what can I do?"
Song Wenqing immediately replied to the message, "Your Uncle Xia took the initiative to bring it up?"
"No, it's Brother Qimo, he said that he wanted to take care of me, and he began to care about my accommodation. I said that there was a dormitory to live in, and he said that it was far inconvenient to live in a dormitory, so he talked about the apartment. ”
"That's right. Song Wenqing sent three words, but there was no response for a long time.
Ding Ning was so anxious, "Mom, what can I do about this, Aunt Yu won't think I'm doing it on purpose!"
"Don't panic. Song Wenqing sent two more words.
Then there was a long input, maybe it was too troublesome to type, and she sent a voice directly.
"It's not that you take the initiative to live in, this matter is up to their arrangement, calm, you must be calm. Be calm, and you have to show that you are not interested in Xia Qimo, and don't pay too much attention to him, just like his brother who met for the first time. ”
"I don't want to pay attention to him, but he keeps paying attention to me and always teasing me. ”
Song Wenqing replied with a um.
Ding Ning looked at the um that his mother came back from, and thought for a long time, what does her mother's um mean, does it mean that she knows, or does it mean that it doesn't matter.
Forget it, don't ask.
Ding Ning pretended to flush the water and walked out of the bathroom.
Back in the restaurant, Xia Runian asked Ding Ning to sit next to Xia Qimo.
"Our family likes light, I don't know if you are used to eating Xiao Ning. ”
Ding Ning glanced at the dishes on the table, and sure enough, it was mainly Huainan cuisine, with light dishes and exquisite ingredients.
Ding Ning is not a picky eater, as long as it tastes good, he will eat anything.
"I've been a little hot for the past two days, and I'm just trying to eat something light. She replied.
"Then try Aunt Wu's craftsmanship. Xia Runian raised his chopsticks to help Ding Ning clip a piece of fish.
Ding Ning hurriedly took his bowl and thanked him.
"Don't be polite to Uncle Xia, you will come to the house often to play in the future, you will treat this as your home. ”
"Good. ”
Yu Shiqin raised her chopsticks to pick up the dishes angrily, and there was no squeak.
"By the way, does Xiao Ning have a boyfriend?" asked Xia Runian.
Ding Ning was eating fish, and when she suddenly asked this, she almost swallowed the whole fish.
She adjusted her breath, thought about her mother's instructions just now, and replied calmly, "Not yet." ”
At this time, Yu Shiqin couldn't help it, she pushed Xia Runian, "Look at you, other people's children come to the house for a meal, why do you ask about these things." ”
"Oh, I think Xiao Ning's child is well-behaved and looks slim, it just so happens that I have a few friends who know and the children at home have also reached marriageable age, I see if I can help Ding Ning introduce him." ”
As soon as Xia Runian said this, Yu Shiqin instantly let down her guard, and she said to Ding Ning with a smile, "That's right, Ding Ning is not small, it's time to talk about friends." ”
"This ...... Uncle Xia, you tell my mother, I listen to my mother. Ding Ning replied very obediently.
Yu Shiqin sighed slightly when she heard Ding Ning say this, "Oh, it's better to raise a daughter, look at this girl raised by Song Wenqing, listen to her in everything, our family ......"
She glanced at Xia Qimo.
"Qimo, when will you listen to your mother?"
"What you say is reasonable, I will naturally listen to you. Xia Qimo replied.
"Mom, I don't pay attention to that. Yu Shiqin put down her chopsticks, "Mom just asked you to go on a blind date, and this blind date is not for you to marry someone right away." ”
"Am I right, Ding Ning?" Yu Shiqin turned to Ding Ning again.
Ding Ning smiled, "Aunt is right, Brother Qimo is so old, he should really think about lifelong events." ”
Xia Qimo: "I'm not in good health. ”
"What does a blind date have to do with poor health?" Yu Shiqin couldn't understand why Xia Qimo had to say that he was not in good health when he mentioned blind dates.
Xia Qimo: "I'm afraid that I will die early and hurt others." ”
Ding Ning looked at Xia Qimo with a pale face, "...... Is Brother Qimo's health so bad?"
"I've been in a car accident. Xia Qimo said seriously, "I have been in a coma for a while, and my body functions are not as good as before." ”
Ding Ning: "......"
Xia Qimo: "Sister Ding Ning, why didn't you ask me how I got into a car accident." ”
Ding Ning's lips were trembling, "What...... What happened to the car accident?"
"I was hit by my ex-girlfriend looking for someone. Xia Qimo shrugged his shoulders, "Women are so scary, they will kill you if you break up, do you think I still dare to go on a blind date now?"
"......" Ding Ning, "Brother Qimo, are you not in good health or do you have a shadow in your psyche?"
"On the point, I actually have a shadow in my psyche. Xia Qimo pointed at Ding Ning and said to Yu Shiqin, "Mom, look. Even Ding Ning, the little sister I met for the first time, can know this, why are you forcing me to go on a blind date, I am afraid when I see women now, especially women who say they like me, I am afraid that if I reject them, they will kill me. ”
Ding Ning's mouth opened wide in surprise.
Xia Qimo is not lightly ill!
Next to him, Xia Runian coughed, he felt that his son's play was a little too much.
Look at the little girl who scared others, how he pursued others in the future.
Psychological shadow: Take great pains to get a little girl to your side, is this like a man who has a psychological shadow on women?
"Qimo," Xia Runian said, "Do you need Dad to introduce you to a psychiatrist?"
He was serious.
Xia Qimo glanced at his father.
In fact, Xia Qimo knew that his father had seen through his mind, Xia Runian was born in investment, he not only analyzed the industry market but also analyzed the essence of the surface market, so no matter what he invested for so many years, he could make a profit.
This is Xia Runian's ability.
Therefore, Xia Qimo knew very well that his father had long seen through why he wanted to get rid of the former property company and then sign a contract with Jin Liyuan.
He did not have amnesia.
Why panic to claim that he has amnesia, this is also the only way Xia Qimo can think of in desperation.
When Song Wenqing and Yu Shiqin were arguing in the ward, he heard everything, although he had just come out of the operating room at that time.
Later, when Ding Ning tearfully told him that I love you, he was thinking that he couldn't be too radical in this matter.
If you want to protect the person you love, and then get the person you love, you must first ease the tense relationship between the two families.
So, he chose to let himself have amnesia.
But now it's time for him to make a move.
It seems that his father is the first ally.
So Xia Qimo threw a grateful smile at his ally, "Thank you, Dad, I have contacted the best psychiatrist in the country, and I will receive treatment regularly." ”
"I have to recover as soon as possible, that kid is now an acting star, and he will definitely not get married for a while, so it's up to you for your mother and I to hold our grandson. ”
"Uncle Xia, don't put pressure on Brother Qimo, I think this matter has to be done slowly. Ding Ning really felt sorry for Xia Qimo.
Isn't it even worse to have a mental illness that puts pressure on him to pass on his lineage?
"Brother Qimo!" Ding Ning held Xia Qimo's wrist, "I'm sure you'll get better slowly." ”
"Thank you! Sister Ding Ning, you are really an angel!"
Xia Runian coughed lightly again.
Yu Shiqin didn't speak, but her eyes kept sweeping over Ding Ning and Xia Qimo.
She always felt that something was wrong, but there was something wrong, and she couldn't say it.
Next to her, Xia Runian also sandwiched a piece of fish for Yu Shiqin, and whispered to her, "You see that Qimo doesn't seem to be afraid of Ding Ning, a little girl." ”
"You mean?"
"I mean Qimo is taking Ding Ning as a sister now, so you'd better not say a word more, be careful to make it backfire. ”
