Chapter 36: How Could It Be Her?
๏ปฟ
"Wowโโ please open your eyes!" Xiao Xixi took out a box as if by magic and held it up to her mother. A warm smile filled her delicate little face: "Mom, I've been working for so long, and I haven't bought you any decent gifts." Shopping with Xiaowen today, I went to buy you a necklace, do you like it?"
Xiao's mother always felt that Xiao Xixi had always been like a little girl, she had never been heartless to go east and west, and she had never thought carefully, but today she looked at her pretentious appearance and was full of expectations for herself. My heart couldn't help but be sour, and I was a little speechless: "I like it, I like it." As long as Xixi sends it, my mother likes it-"
"Oh, Mom, I knew you would say that. Xiao Xixi was still a little dissatisfied with her reaction, "Then I'll put it on for you now! โ
As he spoke, he had already tied the necklace to the back of Xiao's mother's neck.
The necklace is in platinum, with a pendant in the shape of a droplet, set with a small diamond. It is not steady, but also concise and generous, and it is not outdated.
"Mom, it's good-looking, right?" Xiao Xixi pulled her mother in front of the mirror with a devoted expression.
"Beautiful, good-looking. Xiao's mother replied happily from her heart, "Xixi, you have really grown up." Don't spend money indiscriminately in the future, learn to save money, and leave it for your own baby to spend later. โ
"Ouch, Mom-" Xiao Xixi pushed Xiao's mother coquettishly again, "Why are you thinking so far away!"
"Xixi, you didn't pay attention to the wound again. A girl should not have scars on her body, otherwise, she will not be beautiful in the future. Xiao's mother was so distressed that she looked at Xiao Xixi's arm wrapped in a small bandage again.
"Got it, Mom, it won't be so careless in the future. Xiao Xixi hurriedly smiled perfunctorily, but fortunately, her mother and Xiaowen did not doubt her excuse at all.
The mobile phone suddenly rang, Xiao Xixi glanced at the caller ID "Situ Lei Yan", sneered, turned her hand and buckled the phone on the bed, no matter how loud it was, she pretended not to hear it.
Situ Leiyan listened to the elongated "beep-toot-" ringtone on the other end of the phone, and his resolute handsome face was still cloudy.
She didn't answer the phone, did she not hear it, or - deliberately did not answer?
He pressed the hang up button. What a little girl, since he called her, he also gave himself a step down. He is a dignified Situ Lei Yan, even if he was angry with her yesterday, isn't it because she did something wrong?
Of course, he accidentally pushed her to the side of the debris...... I don't know if her injuries are serious or not, and it rained so heavily last night. In the morning, I listened to the report of the secretary Bi, saying that she had taken sick leave.
Could it be that it was seriously injured?
Situ Leiyan's narrow eyes flashed a look of doubt, and his brows tightened slightly, this woman actually made him so worried.
He minded the photo, she hadn't explained it clearly, she didn't ask for her forgiveness, and she was so bold to ask for sick leave and not answer the phone!
But... Anyway, are you hospitalized?
Situ Leiyan's slender legs wandered around the president's room for a few rounds, but he still couldn't help but dial the phone, and his low and steady male voice said in a commanding tone: "Check the hospitalization records of all hospitals for me today to see if there is a female patient named 'Xiao Xixi' hospitalized." "Damn.
On the other hand, Xiao Xixi slept comfortably at home, and when she woke up, it was already half past five o'clock, remembering that Brother Rui said that the dinner was 7 o'clock in the evening, oh no, Brother Rui will definitely go early, so he will pick him up earlier. I didn't know it would arrive at 6 o'clock.
She hurriedly got up to change her clothes and comb her hair.
Subconsciously thought, fortunately, it was not a large-scale banquet like Situ Leiyan, and it would take one or two hours just to put on makeup. I don't know why, but he always rings out of nowhere.
This scoundrel, can't you think of him, don't you remember what he thinks of himself?
Xiao Xixi put on a little foundation, changed into a white princess dress, and just took a few photos in the mirror when she heard the doorbell outside.
Oh my God, it was on time, but luckily it was more efficient when I got up. She patted her chest and complimented herself, ha.
"Xixi, have you packed up? Don't let Yan Rui wait for you. Xiao's mother's voice came from outside the house.
"Okay, okay, Mom, I know that your 'son' is more important than your daughter! Xiao Xixi opened the door, with a smug expression that saw that I had already prepared, and used a complaining tone.
Mother Xiao looked at Yan Rui in a straight suit in front of her, and Xiao Xixi, who was as fresh as a blooming flower, and sighed in her heart, if they really could, what a "golden boy and girl" they were.
However, when she looked at her daughter, she always looked like she didn't feel it, and she didn't mention anything, but just observed the two young people as if she didn't feel it.
Yan Rui is responsible, calm, not in a hurry, responsible for everything, handled it properly, and takes good care of Xixi, so he is undoubtedly the best candidate for Chenglong's fast son-in-law.
"Auntie, then I'll take Xixi away, don't worry. Yan Rui had a good-looking smile.
"Okay, rest assured. Be careful on the road!" Seeing off the two young men, Xiao's mother's face was full of smiles. Perhaps, it is only a matter of time before the two of them are concerned, and I hope that everything will come true as they hoped.
The car stopped steadily at the door of "Jinyu Night Talk".
"Sir, Miss, please go this way. Under the guidance of the waiter, Xiao Xixi looked at this stylish western restaurant, the lighting was bright but soft, without the ambiguity in the dimness, but it also lost a warm sense of affinity.
Each table was filled with fresh roses, and the pale yellow tablecloth hung down, but a small lace-trimmed plate was placed on a white porcelain plate with a small gold trim. The neatness highlights the nobility and elegance.
"Brother Rui, this restaurant is very expensive, right?!" After sitting down, Xiao Xixi asked Yan Rui in a low voice.
"It's not cheap, it's not very easy to get a seat. However, the company was able to survive the crisis, thanks to this legal counsel, if it wasn't for her, the company would have almost ......" Yan Rui didn't finish speaking, his eyes turned not far away, and he took the words and beckoned to the other party.
Obviously, he didn't know what Xiao Xixi had done for him. But that's fine, Xiao Xixi sighed secretly, and followed his gaze to greet the legal officer. However, when he saw each other, a smile froze on his face.
Not far away, wearing a set of burgundy short dresses, wasn't it Gu Ruolan who walked over slowly?
How could it be her, impossible. But completely, it's really her, Gu Ruolan.
"Xixi, let me introduce you. This is Miss Gu Ruolan, who saved the company's legal counsel in a time of crisis. Yan Rui introduced politely without knowing it, "Miss Gu, this is my childhood sweetheart's friend, Xiao Xixi." โยท
