Chapter 51: Meet Again
At work the next day, Jingya was not in a state all the time, because she was worried about meeting Gu Yunfan's uncle's family yesterday, so she didn't sleep well. She barely managed to deal with a few emails, read a few more contracts, and slept on the table for a while before feeling a little better. She propped her forehead with her hands and pressed her thumbs to her temples, trying to make herself in a better mental state.
She glanced at the time on the computer screen, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and she couldn't help but feel nervous. I began to think about what kind of gift she would choose, the last time she went by herself, although it was also an item carefully selected by herself, but after seeing Xu Fangfang, she knew that the gift she spent nearly half a month's salary to buy as soon as she looked at her dress might be difficult to get into their eyes.
This morning, she tried on several sets of clothes, each of which Gu Yunfan said looked good, she couldn't help it, and finally chose a red French dress, which she usually wears less, because it is a bit expensive, and she usually uses casual style most of the time. This is last year when I went to the mall, Li Xiaoxiao had to pull her to buy it together, at that time she thought this style was not bad, but although the price has been discounted, but it is still not cheap, Li Xiaoxiao persuaded her to try it on, and as soon as she put it on, she herself felt that it was very suitable for herself, plus the salesman's words on the side, so she gritted her teeth and bought it.
When I entered the company this morning, several little girls praised again and again, "Sister Jingya, you are so beautiful today." "She's never been the kind of person who changes herself in order to please others. But today is different, today's meal is likely to be related to her and Gu Yunfan's future, so she still tries her best to show her best side.
The time to meet is getting closer and closer, Jingya hopes that today will be over quickly, but she doesn't want time to pass too quickly. When she was thinking about it contradictoryly, the phone suddenly rang, it was Gu Yunfan, he said that he was afraid of being stuck in traffic late, so it was better to go early.
Jingya hurriedly cleaned up and went downstairs. After getting into the car, she found that Gu Yunfan had already bought a gift for her brother-in-law's family, she knew the LOGO on the bag, and she didn't have to guess what was inside, but at least the price was expensive.
"My aunt likes this brand very much, I will choose it for you on my own initiative, and after a while you will say that you chose it, she will be very happy. Gu Yunfan smiled and fastened his seat belt and started the car.
Gu Yunfan saw Jingya's nervousness, so he said: "You don't have to be nervous, my brother-in-law is very good, he loves me very much, my aunt is not bad, very gentle and capable, in the company is my brother-in-law's right-hand man, I think they should like you very much, because you are also gentle and capable." Gu Yunfan said with a smile.
Gu Yunfan introduced Ye Jianwei and Xu Fangfang, in his eyes, they were indeed such people. Jingya didn't speak, how could she forget the content of the chat between Xu Fangfang and Xia Meiru last time, Ye Jianwei and Xu Fangfang may really be as Gu Yunfan said, but one thing Jingya can be sure of, that is, they won't like her.
Because it was not yet the evening rush hour, the road was smooth, so it arrived quickly.
Jingya knew this place, it was the same hotel last time, and she couldn't help but think of herself who was still smelling of seafood with soup stains, and her mood immediately became more nervous.
Gu Yunfan led Jing Ya through the lobby and got on the elevator, Jing Ya only felt that her palms were about to sweat, Gu Yunfan looked at her and whispered, "It's okay, I'm here." β
This sentence, "I am here" is like a reassuring pill, which calms Jingya's heart a little, but it is only calm for a while. Because, the moment she opened the door of the private room, in addition to seeing Ye Jianwei, Xu Fangfang, and their daughter Xiaoqi, she also saw a familiar face, she was smiling and shouting at Gu Yunfan, "Brother Yunfan!"
That's right, it's Xia Meiru, they met again, and it's still in this old place.
Gu Yunfan was also puzzled when he saw Xia Meiru, frowned slightly, and responded in response.
Xu Fangfang observed very carefully, and immediately stood up to speak: "Xiaoqi likes Meiru very much, and Meiru can't bear her, so she just called her over, we originally booked a place, Meiru insisted on letting us come to his hotel, and ordered the food, saying that it was for me to practice." β
Gu Yunfan glanced at Xia Meiru and said expressionlessly: "Oh, thank you." β
"Thank you, thank you, you are so raw, Meiru and you are both grown up by me, you are half my son, and she is also half my daughter. Ye Jianwei took a sip of tea and didn't look at Gu Yunfan, just said while pouring water into the cup.
Gu Yunfan obviously felt that Jing Ya's hand was a little trying to break free of his hand, so he held her hand tighter, and led her to take two steps forward, and said very seriously: "Uncle, aunt, this is my girlfriend, no, it should be my fiancΓ©e, Bai Jingya." After speaking, he turned sideways to introduce Ye Jianwei and Xu Fangfang to Jingya, "Jingya, these two are what I always mention to you, brother-in-law and aunt, as well as Xiaoqi, Meiru doesn't need to be introduced." β
Except for Gu Yunfan, everyone greeted each other tacitly, smiled and nodded.
Xu Fangfang really put on a look like she was seeing Jingya for the first time, and warmly invited her to take a seat, and asked her daughter Xiaoqi to call Jingya, "Xiaoqi call sister." "What a thoughtful and polite scene.
Jingya agreed unnaturally, she felt that Xu Fangfang was indeed a capable person at this time, in addition to facing herself, she could behave so calmly, and she could also teach her daughter to be the same as her, Jingya had to feel that everything was not so simple.
Gu Yunfan put the gift in front of Xu Fangfang, and said, "This is a meeting gift from Jingya to you, I hope you can like it." β
Xu Fangfang glanced at the LOGO on the packaging bag and replied with a smile, "I like it, I like it." β
Xia Meiru also got up and handed a handbag to Xu Fangfang, and said with a well-behaved face: "Aunt Fang, this is what I specially entrusted someone to bring back from Italy, there are only two pieces in the world, one is in the hands of a female star in Hollywood, and the other is here." β
Xu Fangfang was pleasantly surprised when she heard this, and hurriedly opened the bag, it was a beautiful women's watch, and Xia Meiru hurriedly came over to help Xu Fangfang put it on. Xu Fangfang said several times in a row, "Thank you." Xia Meiru not only gave gifts to Xu Fangfang, but also to Ye Jianwei and Xiaoqi, all of which were unique in her mouth.
Jingya only felt that the lively scene in front of her was very unsuitable for her, but remembering Gu Yunfan's sentence "I am here", she could only watch how they wanted to perform.
Everything went quite smoothly, Jingya didn't have much taste, and naturally she didn't eat much, Gu Yunfan put a lot of dishes in her bowl, and seeing that she didn't eat much, she asked her in a low voice, "Why don't you eat." β
Jingya only smiled and said, "I'm full." β
"I can't lose weight, it's not like I can't hold it. β
Jingya pretended to be angry and glanced at him, then smiled again.
Xia Meiru began to notice Gu Yunfan and Jingya from the moment they came in, she saw Gu Yunfan's hand holding Jingya's hand tightly, at that time, she felt very uncomfortable, and saw Gu Yunfan serving Jingya vegetables, and now Gu Yunfan didn't know what she said in Jingya's ear, which made Jingya bow her head and smile. Seeing everything about the two of them, she only felt like there was a thorn in her body, but she didn't know where it was, and when she looked at Jingya again, she knew that she was the thorn, and Xia Meiru suddenly felt uncomfortable.
"Brother Yun Fan, last time everyone said that we danced well, and I want to see it again, when are you free, we will hold another one in the future. β
"Yes, fortunately Yun Fan came last time, otherwise everyone would have to watch Meiru's jokes. Ye Jianwei laughed after speaking.
"Sister Meiru, Brother Yunfan, the last time you danced, you looked like a prince and a princess, you were so good-looking. Xiao Qi looked at Xia Meiru with envious eyes.
"Xiao Qi, you have a good meal. Xu Fangfang didn't blame Xiao Qi, but just said it neither softly nor hard.
"I've read in fairy tales that princes and princesses dance like that......"
Jingya only felt that her scalp was a little numb, and her head began to buzz, Xiao Qi still had the same expression full of yearning for fairy tales just now, and she was still talking about something, but Jingya couldn't hear what she was saying behind because of the buzzing sound. Jingya hurriedly picked up the water cup in front of her and drank two sips of hot water before she recovered a little.
She didn't know what they were talking about dancing, like everyone knew that she was the only one who was being kept in the dark. The prince and princess that Xiao Qi said were, of course, referring to Gu Yunfan and Xia Meiru, and she didn't know anything about when it was.
Gu Yunfan never expected that Xia Meiru would say such things on such an occasion, and if she said it like this, it would definitely make Jingya misunderstand. Originally, when his uncle called him that day, he thought it was an ordinary business cocktail party, but after he went, he realized that many of the people present were insiders who had a relationship with his father, and they were also successful people in the mall. These people not only know Gu Yunfan, but also know Xia Meiru, the only daughter of the owner of Xia's business. When she was dancing, Xia Meiru came to invite Gu Yunfan, but Gu Yunfan refused, but the person next to him pushed Gu Yunfan over. After a song, everyone present was amazed, and how many good praises made Xia Meiru really think that she was Gu Yunfan's girlfriend at that moment.
