Chapter 44: An Awkward Dinner
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the car entered the city, and after a while, Jingya woke up from a hazy sleep, she looked at the street outside the car window, and sighed: "It's all here, it's really fast." There was a hint of sadness in his tone.
Gu Yunfan knew that she was a little homesick, so he said, "Yes, this place is not far from your home, when you want to go back, we will go back together." ”
When she heard Gu Yunfan say the words "go back together", Jing Ya couldn't help but feel a warmth in her heart, so she smiled at him and nodded, "Okay." ”
At this time, the sunlight entered the car through the window glass, and the two of them were covered with a faint golden light, and the car was warm. There was a Japanese song playing on the radio, and the singer's voice was extremely soft, and Jingya couldn't understand the meaning of the lyrics, but she had never loved those noisy songs, and now this song made her feel that even if she couldn't understand what she was singing, it would still be very pleasant.
Jingya put down the visor, looked sideways at the window and everything slowly moved back, she thought carefully that there were actually some things, she didn't have to figure it out, just like it. Just like love, maybe no one understands the meaning of love itself, but once you fall in love with that person, you will love it with hesitation, such as she is in love with Gu Yunfan.
Gu Yunfan saw that she woke up but didn't speak, so he said, "Are you in a daze again?"
"No, I'm thinking about something, I'm thinking, what the hell is love. ”
"Oh, do you figure it out?"
"No, but I think that's fine. ”
Of course, Gu Yunfan could understand what she meant by "just like this", so the corners of her mouth curled.
When the car was about to arrive near the community, Gu Yunfan's phone rang suddenly, he pulled over the car and answered the phone, Jingya didn't know who the person on the phone was, and she didn't know what it was, she saw Gu Yunfan's eyebrows twisted together, he didn't say anything superfluous, just said lightly, "Well, okay, I know." After hanging up the phone, Jingya asked worriedly if there was anything urgent, and Gu Yunfan also tried his best to smile and said, "It's nothing, it's just a little thing at work." He said this, but his expression was not too relaxed.
"Otherwise, you go and deal with your affairs first, and I'll go back myself. Jingya said uneasily.
Gu Yunfan originally wanted to insist and said, "It's okay." But before the words could reach his mouth, the phone rang again.
It is estimated that it is the same thing as what he said just now, Jing Ya saw Gu Yunfan's brows twisted again, and after the phone hung up, before Gu Yunfan could speak, Jing Ya said, "Okay, you go and get busy with you first, I'll go back by myself." The two originally planned to go to a movie together in the evening, but the plan was broken by this sudden phone call, Gu Yunfan still said: "Then let's go to dinner first, and then I'll send you home." ”
"No, I'm not hungry, besides, my mother has prepared so much food for me, if I'm hungry, I can eat it hot, you go and deal with your affairs first." ”
In the end, Gu Yunfan insisted on sending him to the downstairs of the unit in the community, he handed the bag in his hand to Jingya, and said with a loving face: "Good, I will come back soon, wait for me to come back and eat together." As he spoke, he kissed the tip of her nose.
After Jingya went home, she first reported her safety to her family, and Lu Xiaoping told her over and over again on the phone to eat on time and stay up less late, Jingya nodded and replied "Okay".
This is the first time she left home before the Spring Festival holiday ended, she was originally reluctant to her parents, and now this phone call made her feel a lot of apologies in addition to being reluctant. Growing up so big, it has always been my parents who have been giving to me, but I have never given them anything.
Lu Xiaoping cooked a good dish, and she saw that Gu Yunfan loved to eat the braised pork ribs and braised beef she made, so after filling Jingya with some braised meat, she specially cooked two braised pork ribs and packed them in a lunch box.
Jingya put the dishes in the refrigerator one by one, planning to rest for a while before eating. But as soon as she lay down, the phone rang, it was an unfamiliar number, she thought it was another sales call, and thought to herself, do these people have no holiday for the New Year?
"May I ask if it's Bai Jingya?" was the voice of a strange woman.
Jingya felt a little strange that the person on the other end of the phone knew her, and she didn't know who it was when she heard the voice, so she took the phone over and looked at it, but it was still an unfamiliar number that she didn't recognize.
"I'm Bai Jingya, who are you?"
"Hello, I'm Gu Yunfan's little aunt, his uncle and I want to invite you to a meal, I don't know if you have time. She chuckled and continued, "Oh, don't tell Yun Fan about this first." ”
Jing Ya listened to this nice voice on the other end of the phone, gentle, but it seemed that she couldn't find any other words to describe it except gentleness, Jing Ya knew that this should not be kind, and her heart was suddenly uneasy, especially the last sentence, "Don't tell Yun Fan first." She was stunned for about five or six seconds before she came back to her senses and whispered, "Okay." ”
"Then you'll send you the address later. ”
After the brief call, Jingya only felt that the meal seemed to have ulterior motives, and she had to go anyway. In fact, Gu Yunfan said two days ago that he would take Jingya to meet with her relatives at home when he went back, but he clearly said that Gu Yunfan would take her with him, but the person on the phone just now, Gu Yunfan's little aunt, why did he deliberately emphasize letting her go alone?
This question didn't stay in Jingya's mind for long, and after she met Gu Yunfan's brother-in-law's family, she finally understood what was going on. She carried a few gifts she had carefully selected in the mall, standing at the door of the private room at the door of the hotel mentioned in the address, the door was not closed tightly, and the voice inside was heard clearly, when she was about to push the door in just now, she clearly heard the people inside saying, "When Yun Fan and Meiru get engaged, the Gu Group is really incomparable, and no matter what Yan Clan does, he will not dare to think about it easily." ”
"Oh, Aunt Fang, Brother Yun Fan said, only when I am my sister, he only has that woman in his heart. ”
At that moment, Jingya stood at the door and only felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and there was a roar in her head, and she was also in a trance...... It turns out that today is a Hongmen banquet.
When she turned her head and was about to leave, she didn't want to bump into the waiter who was holding the tray and preparing to serve food to the private room, with a panicked scream, followed by a crisp sound, the delicately carved bone china soup bowl was scattered, and the original bowl of fragrant seafood soup was also spilled on the ground, Jingya and the waiter were also splashed, Jingya felt that she should have caused a big disaster, and she was so frightened that she didn't move.
The waiter also seemed to be frightened, and it took a long time to react, and said again and again: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" The voice seemed to be about to cry, and it was a middle-aged woman wearing a "manager" badge who heard the voice, and she also said to Jingya: "I'm sorry, I didn't burn you." Then he turned his face sternly and said to the waiter, "Why are you so careless, hurry up and serve another one to the customer." ”
The waiter wiped her tears and nodded and left, Jingya continued to freeze there in embarrassment, so the manager asked with concern, "Did you burn you just now?" ”
Jingya recovered at this time, and hurriedly said, "It's me who is sorry, I was careless ...... just now."
"Sister Jingya, you're here. A sweet voice interrupted Jingya's later words.
Jingya turned around, that person was Xia Meiru, she was wearing a pink brand-name dress today, which was new this spring, in fact, Jingya didn't pay attention to fashion before, but Li Xiaoxiao would always send her some similar news, and after a long time, as long as she saw a new product launch conference, she would habitually take a few looks. This pink dress is even better and more suitable than a model on Xia Meiru, coupled with her delicate makeup and slightly curly long hair, Jingya only thinks that she is really beautiful, probably a woman who will be tempted by any man at a glance.
"Miss Xia, I'm sorry that our waiter bumped into your friend just now. The manager said apologetically to Xia Meiru with a very respectful attitude.
"Okay, I see, my friend is fine, you can go and get busy. Xia Meiru's tone and expression completely exceeded Jingya's previous impression that she was just a "little girl".
At this time, Xia Meiru is already a rich daughter who is glamorous and knows the general situation and etiquette, but Jingya only feels like Cinderella, no, maybe Cinderella is not counted. There was a big piece of oil on her clothes, and she had the fragrance of seafood, and she looked at the "pink beauty" in front of her with an embarrassed face. When I remembered what I had just heard, I just felt that I had no confidence.
Xia Meiru seemed to deliberately not see Jingya's embarrassed expression, she continued: "It's okay, let's go out and buy another piece of clothing to change in a while, let's go eat first." ”
Jingya only felt that Xia Meiru's deliberate "goodwill" today made people feel a little chilly.
"It's Jingya, come in. Another middle-aged woman also came out of the private room, she glanced at Jingya in surprise, and soon the surprised expression immediately disappeared, replaced by a gentle look. She took Jingya's arm and invited her into the private room.
On the huge round dining table, a middle-aged man sat next to him, he nodded at Jing Ya, Jing Ya could also guess that this must be Gu Yunfan's uncle, so he also tried his best to respond with a smile.
A little girl in a big red princess dress ran over, grabbed Xia Meiru's arm and asked, "Sister Meiru, who is this sister?" ”
Xia Meiru smiled at the little girl and whispered, "Xiao Qi, this is Sister Jingya." ”
Because of that unpleasant episode, Jingya, who was originally uneasy after the whole meal, now only feels embarrassed. She just wanted to end it sooner so she could leave.
