Chapter Fifty-Eight: Octagonal Glazed Dragon Well
When he returned to Beijing for the New Year, he was ready, accompanied the old man's parents to socialize, was polite and polite to everyone, and saved enough face for them. With face, in the next year, the old man and his parents will at least be kind to him and will not interfere too much with his life, so it is worth investing in sacrificing a few days of the New Year for the sake of a year of purity.
Cheng Zhimin booked a French restaurant, as soon as Zhuo Yu'an walked in, when he saw the other party, he knew that it was a well-designed blind date, especially after chatting for less than two sentences, Cheng Zhimin and the other party's mother left the table on the grounds that there was something, and they were even more sure when they were left.
He sneered inwardly and glanced at the other party nonchalantly.
The other party looked at him generously: "I guess you didn't hear my name just now, my name is Li Yu, I'm glad to see you again." ”
Zhuo Yu'an grasped the point: "Li Yu? See you again?"
"Yes, when I was a child, we were in the same kindergarten and the first grade of primary school, but then I transferred to the northwest with my father. ”
"No impression!" Zhuo Yu'an did not shy away from it, he was indeed not impressed. It's just that I took stock in my mind, the person surnamed Li next to the old man, this surname is rare, and it is easy to guess the identity of the other party, the commander-in-chief of a certain army.
"It's okay, just start making an impression today. Li Yu was not angry at his indifference, or did not take his indifference in his eyes at all. She is Li Yu, this surname, this identity is enough to make people surrender.
Zhuo Yu'an raised his eyebrows, did not speak again, took the knife and fork next to him and ate the French foie gras next to him as if no one was around, completely treating Li Yu as transparent, this was his last restraint, to avoid saying hurtful words and ruining the friendship between the two families. Not saying is also his last respect for Cheng Zhimin's private blind date.
Let him greet him with a smile or maintain politeness to receive the blind date, he can't do it.
Li Yu looked at him angrily, she was proud enough, no one had ever regarded her as a transparent person.
"What do you mean?" she asked.
"I'm sorry, I have no intention of going on a blind date. I'll explain it to my mother when I get back. ”
"Don't like me?"
"No, I just didn't mean to go on a blind date, and I have nothing to do with who the other person is. ”
"You're the first one who dares not to give me face. ”
"Yes, if you need to, I'll explain to my mother that you didn't take a fancy to me, so as to save your face. The tone is so indifferent that it is abhorrent, and the lethality is huge.
Li Yu didn't laugh angrily: "No, I still have a crush on you." It's not uncommon for licking dogs all over the street, and it's hard to get a wolf, I like it. ”
"You feel free. Zhuo Yu'an really doesn't care, what the other party thinks has nothing to do with him, what he should say has been said, and he was about to get up and leave the table, when a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him
"Ann, why are you here?"
It's Jane, the hotel where she stayed is next door, she came to dine at this time, but she didn't expect to meet Zhuo Yu'an, and listened to their conversation word for word, so she deliberately called him by name affectionately to relieve him.
Seeing Jane, Zhuo Yu'an was a little surprised, she returned to China for a few days, she found a private tour guide, ran all over the capital, was very busy, and wanted to invite her to dinner as a landlord, but she couldn't contact anyone at all.
Jane sat down on their table on her own, and didn't mind, she directly used the knife and fork used by Zhuo Yu'an, but Zhuo Yu'an took it from her hand: "Change it." Then he asked the waiter to bring him a new one.
Li Yu was stunned for a moment, and his face was extremely ugly: "Who are you?"
Zhuo Yu'an didn't answer, and Jane also cooperated with the tacit agreement not to answer, just took a big bite to eat, ran for a day, and was really hungry. Li Yu had never been so angry, picked up his bag and turned around and left angrily.
"Blind date?" asked Jane when she was gone. Her hair is slightly curled in a shawl, she is wearing a thin low-neck sweater, and a pair of off-white corduroy wide-leg pants underneath.
"Hmm. "He doesn't explain much either.
"I didn't expect that you couldn't escape the fate of a blind date after all. The girl was very beautiful just now, and the family introduced her should have a similar family background, didn't you like it? . Jane gloated and gossiped.
Zhuo Yu'an did not answer her question.
"I don't know what you're looking for. She said quietly.
After Jane finished her meal and sent her back to the hotel, Zhuo Yu'an drove home, anticipating that there would be a storm waiting for him at home. Sure enough, as soon as he entered the yard, even Daha, who would frantically wagging his tail and pounce on him when he saw him on weekdays, curled up in the dog pen silently, looking at him lazily, with a look in his eyes: You ask for more blessings.
The atmosphere was weird, as soon as Cheng Zhimin saw him, an unknown object smashed from her hand and landed at his feet, it was her mobile phone, and the screen was shattered in an instant.
"Do you still know that you are coming back? Today's face has been thrown into you, how can you let me explain to the Li family?" Cheng Zhimin was mad, just now the wife of the Li family called and complained, how could the girl who grew up in her own house have been so angry? Your Zhuo family doesn't want to bully people like this.
are all people with heads and faces, Cheng Zhimin learned from Mrs. Li that the cause and effect of the matter, that is, the loss, and he has to put down his face to make amends, can he not be angry.
continued to scold Zhuo Yu'an
"If you don't want to go on a blind date, you should have said it earlier, why do you have to do things so desperately? Call other women on the spot and don't give Li Yu a little face, where did your brain go? How will you get along with the Li family in the future?"
Jane's appearance was also unexpected by Zhuo Yu'an, but it was okay to do so, and it directly cut off Li Yu's thoughts.
"I will go to Li's house tomorrow morning to apologize, but Mom, I also emphasize again, this is the first and last time, don't arrange a blind date for me again, I have my own plans for emotional matters. ”
Cheng Zhimin's anger reached Zhuo Yu'an, which was calm, but it seemed that she had lost her mind and was unreasonable. Her husband, Zhuo Hong, looked at her coldly from the sidelines, watching how she solved the problem. The father and son are really the same as the city government.
Cheng Zhimin took a deep breath to calm down his intense and even hysterical emotions, and when he looked at Zhuo Yu'an again, his voice was also soft: "I will accompany you to Li's house tomorrow to apologize." ”
"Hmm. "Zhuo Yu'an does not object, it is not a matter of principle, he has always followed them.
"Actually, it's a good thing that you say that you have your own plans emotionally, but it's not a conflict with going on a blind date, maybe one day you meet a girl with an eye? ”
Zhuo Yu'an said solemnly: "Mom, I don't have the time or energy to cultivate a relationship with a girl I don't like." At my age, I know what I want, and falling in love is for the purpose of getting married, so I must find someone I like. ”
"It's a good thing that you're responsible for your feelings, and of course your mother supports it. Then you tell your mother what type you like, and I'll help you find it. Cheng Zhimin takes retreat as advance. Today should be preferred
