The one who really asked her out
Shi Yan and Mu Hibiscus, who were originally going to Germany, had to temporarily put their trip abroad on hold because of Bai Tingting's matter, and the people at the police station said that they would have to investigate the matter and close the case in a week at the earliest.
So, the two of them could only refund their tickets and drove back to their homes in Qunxing Square with some reluctance.
And because Wu You was involved in Bai Tingting's incident, in order to cooperate with the police investigation, he could not return to G City for the time being, and could only continue to stay in Binchenghe.
Shi Yan and Mu Hibiscus invited Wu You to live with them in Qunxing Square again, but Wu You was unwilling, and Shi Yan said that he would provide Wu You with an apartment in another place, but Wu You still refused.
For Wu You's stubbornness, Shi Yan was very helpless, but there was nothing he could do, he knew that his mother was a person who kept his promises, and what she didn't want to do, others couldn't force it, and they couldn't come reluctantly.
Mu Hibiscus originally thought that she and Shi Yan could live in Qunxing Square, and there was no need to have anything to do with the Shi family, because they still had to go to Germany, but the time would be postponed by a week.
However, as soon as the two of them drove back to the 19th floor of Qunxing Plaza, they didn't even have time to drink a glass of water after entering the door, when Shi Yan's mobile phone rang.
And this time, the person who called him was not his grandmother and father, nor Bai Huirong, but Bai Huirong's father, his grandfather Bai Zhenshan, whom he usually called.
Shi Yan looked at the caller number on his mobile phone and instinctively froze for a moment, to be honest, for Bai Zhenshan, he had always respected him in front of an elder, after all, Bai Zhenshan was not bad to him.
It's just that later in his marriage to Mu Hibiscus, Bai Zhenshan's intervention made him very uncomfortable, so he married Mu Hibiscus later and didn't tell Bai Zhenshan.
And now, Bai Zhenshan's call is obviously for Bai Tingting, and its main purpose is probably to help Bai Tingting exonerate the crime, so he thought about starting from him.
Knowing the intention of Bai Zhenshan to call, he still pressed the answer button after hesitating for a moment, and shouted very actively; "Grandpa, do you have something to do with me?"
"Shi Yan, my afternoon plane will fly to Bincheng, and I will arrive at about six o'clock in the evening, you will come to the airport to pick me up when you arrive," Bai Zhenshan's voice was obviously commanding, and with an attitude of not resisting.
Shi Yan's brows instinctively furrowed, although he has always been called Grandpa Bai Zhenshan, but it is not his own grandfather in the end, and his grandfather's name is Wu Daming, he has never seen him since he was five years old.
For so many years, although he and his mother Wu You have been in secret correspondence, he has never heard his mother mention his grandparents, and he doesn't want his mother to be sad and sad, so he has never taken the initiative to ask.
Shi Yan was silent on the phone, Bai Zhenshan on the phone side waited for nearly ten seconds without waiting for Shi Yan's answer, and couldn't help but ask again: "What, you refuse to let you come to pick up your grandfather?" ”
"That's not the case, grandpa," Shi Yan reacted at this time, so he quickly explained: "Actually, it's okay to pick up grandpa, but I want to ask grandpa where you plan to settle in Bincheng this time?" ”
The reason why Shi Yan asked this is because Bai Zhenshan used to come to Bincheng to live in his own small villa in Bincheng, and he usually didn't go to the Shi family's compound, even if he wanted to see the Shi family, even if he saw his daughter Bai Huirong, he always asked Bai Huirong to go to his small villa.
"Of course I'm going directly to your Shi family's compound," Bai Zhenshan said naturally on the other side of the phone, and then asked, "Isn't my family welcome me?" ”
"Where, of course we welcome the arrival of grandpa," Shi Yan's voice was flat and detached, polite and polite: "Grandpa is the commander, if he can come to our Shi family compound, it will make our Shi family compound shine." ”
"Hehehe, you kid is getting better at talking," Bai Zhenshan laughed over there, obviously Shi Yan's two words just now made him feel very well heard.
Shi Yan briefly exchanged a few words with Bai Zhenshan on the phone, hung up the phone and walked into the bedroom, and said to Mu Hibiscus, who was taking out some things that could be used at the moment in the duffel bag: "In the afternoon, we will go to the airport to pick up Commander Bai Zhenshan." ”
Mu Hibiscus instinctively raised her head, glanced at him, frowned slightly, and said, "Is it appropriate for me to go?" Commander Bai doesn't like me. ”
"What's inappropriate?" Shi Yan came over and put his hand on her shoulder, and said softly: "Bai Zhenshan must have come here for Bai Tingting's matter, he wants to put pressure on me, and I took you to show him that any pressure is useless, I will not compromise, for me Shi Yan, there can never be someone more important than my wife and mother." ”
Mu Hibiscus heard Shi Yan say this, thought about it and nodded, and looked at him sideways: "Cheng, then I won't go back to my house in the afternoon, I originally wanted to go back to have dinner with my mother, it seems that I will have dinner with you with Commander Bai tonight." ”
Shi Yan couldn't help but smile when he heard her words, took a set of pajamas she handed over and said, "There are many people who accompany Commander Bai to eat tonight, don't worry, it's not just you and me, Commander Bai is going to the Shi family's compound." ”
Wu You and Shi Yan Hibiscus are separated from Bincheng City, she still politely refused the invitation of her son and daughter-in-law, and insisted on finding a hotel to live in by herself, not wanting to leave more talk for the Shi family, although her dealings with Shi Yan have already fallen behind.
This time, Wu You did not choose to live in the Imperial Capital Hotel again, but chose the Hongyun Hotel, which is not very far away from the Star Square, because it was daytime, and because it was not a holiday, there were many rooms in the hotel, so she easily opened to the room.
The Imperial Capital Hotel is a four-star hotel, while the Hongyun Hotel is a three-star hotel, and Wu You has never been a picky person, three-star and four-star are almost the same for her, as long as the room is clean and the environment is quiet.
In order to avoid last night's incident, she no longer lowered her head when she walked this time, but held her head high, and saw the front clearly and carefully, for fear that if she was not careful, she would bump into an acquaintance again.
Fortunately, the road was unimpeded, and soon she arrived at her room, and after entering the room, she breathed a long sigh of relief, and only called Mu Hibiscus after a simple wash.
"Wood, how about we go out to dinner together tonight?" Wu You spoke first when the phone was picked up, and without waiting for Mu Hibiscus to answer, he quickly added: "I heard that there is a kiln chicken in Qiniang Mountain in the east of Bincheng, can we go to eat kiln chicken as a family of three at night?" ”
"Mom, I guess I can't accompany you to eat kiln chicken tonight," Mu Hibiscus's voice came from the phone with a slight apology, and then explained carefully: "Shi Yan and I still have something to do tonight." ”
"Got something to do?" Wu You's brows instinctively furrowed, thinking that his son was unwilling to go, so he couldn't help but ask in the phone: "You ask Shi Yan, what is more important than accompanying his mother to eat kiln chicken?" ”
There was a long silence on the other side of the phone, and just when Wu You thought that Mu Hibiscus was hanging up the phone, Shi Yan's voice came from the phone.
"Mom, Bai Zhenshan is coming to Bincheng in the afternoon, and he will arrive in Bincheng at about six o'clock in the evening, and he asked me to pick him up at the airport," Shi Yan patiently explained to his mother.
Wu You listened to her son's explanation, and immediately knew what was going on, just like when Bai Huirong fell and miscarried, Bai Zhenshan rushed to come with such a momentum, and she had never seen such a scene.
So, she smiled and said lightly: "Okay, I know what to do, then you can get busy, I'll find a place to eat at night, anyway, I have to stay in Bincheng for a week, and the kiln chicken will eat another day." ”
After Wu You finished saying this, she hung up the phone first without waiting for Shi Yan to speak again, it seems that she is really going to be alone in Bincheng this week, because Cheng Yuxiang also went back to G City today.
Wu You thought that she would have dinner alone tonight, but she was not in the mood to find a restaurant, so she turned on her laptop to surf the Internet in the afternoon, thinking that she would order a takeout at night, and she didn't even bother to go down to the hotel building.
However, her perception was shattered by a phone call at four o'clock in the afternoon, and the person who called her was actually Xiao Xiaohui, an old classmate she had not been in touch with for several years.
Xiao Xiaohui was her classmate in college, and she also liked Shi Hongfeng at the beginning, and the two of them had a relationship with Shi Hongfeng for a period of time, and later she and Shi Hongfeng got married, and the relationship between Xiao Xiaohui and her rival lover eased slightly, but they still ignored her.
And the relationship between her and Xiao Xiaohui really got better, it was after she divorced Shi Hongfeng, perhaps because she also lost Shi Hongfeng, which made Xiao Xiaohui's heart a little more balanced, so the two later contacted more, and gradually became good friends.
When she was working in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Xiao Xiaohui was quite diligent in contact with her, not to mention once a week, but she would also make a phone call once a month or two.
However, after she asked to be transferred to G City six years ago, there was less contact with Xiao Xiaohui, and the telephone calls gradually became scarce, especially in the past two or three years, and there was almost no contact.
Therefore, she was slightly surprised when she received Xiao Xiaohui's call, and hurriedly asked in the call: "Xiaohui, where did you call me?" Wall Street in the United States? ”
The reason why Wu You asked this was because Xiao Xiaohui called her a few years ago - saying that she was on Wall Street, and it was precisely because Xiao Xiaohui went to Wall Street that their contact was gradually cut off.
"Hehehe, where can I be on Wall Street at any time?" Xiao Xiaohui in the phone couldn't help laughing when he heard Wu You's words, and didn't wait for Wu You to ask again, and then quickly explained: "I'm not on Wall Street, I'm on East Street in Bincheng, I heard that you are also in Bincheng, old classmate, how about going out for dinner at night?" I do the East. ”
"Ouch, since you're back from Wall Street, I should be the East Talent," Wu You also became happy when she heard her say this, and hurriedly asked, "What do you want to eat?" Let's go to eat together in the evening, don't fight with me about paying the bill, it's just decided, I'll do the east. ”
"Nacheng, let you be the east, I'll slaughter you at night," Xiao Xiaohui agreed very happily over there, and then said: "I heard that Haiyue City in Bincheng is good, it is mainly Hakka cuisine, how about we go there?" ”
"Cheng, then it's decided, see you in Haiyue City at six o'clock in the evening," Wu You immediately agreed, and after chatting with Xiao Xiaohui for a few words, he hung up the phone.
The coastal Joy City is a well-known Cantonese cuisine, and the private rooms here are often full, so if you don't book in advance, you may not be able to get a private room temporarily.
So, Wu You hung up Xiao Xiaohui's phone and immediately booked a private room in Haiyue City online, after all, he was an old friend who hadn't seen him for a few years, and Xiao Xiaohui came back from Wall Street, so he had to find a quiet place to have a good chat.
Fortunately, it is not a holiday, and it is not too late for her to book a private room at this time, so it is still easy to book a private room at the end of the corridor, which is said to be the best private room with the best view of the sea.
Wu You called Xiao Xiaohui after booking the private room, told her about the private room in Haiyue City, and then she went downstairs herself, because Haiyue City was near the eastern coast, not close to the Hongyun Hotel where she was.
Wu You in line with the principle of hospitality, can not let the guests wait for themselves, so she walked out of the Hongyun Hotel to stop the taxi, it happened to be more than five o'clock is the rush hour after work, the taxi is not easy to stop, she also took nearly ten minutes to get on the taxi.
Haiyue City is very famous in the whole of Bincheng, so there are many people who come to Haiyue City to eat, and because it is close to the sea and the seafood is fresh, people who come to Haiyue City generally order seafood.
Of course, Wu You didn't order first, after all, Xiao Xiaohui's woman's mouth was a little stubborn, not to mention that she went to Wall Street again and came back, who knows if she still likes to eat seafood now?
It was only 5:40 when Wu You arrived at the southern-style private room she had ordered, and there were still twenty minutes before the time she and Xiao Xiaohui had agreed, so she asked for a cup of milk tea to drink first, and waited for Xiao Xiaohui slowly.
I don't know if Lu Dao is coming back from abroad and now the people are getting bigger and bigger, she counted the time and saw that it was always six o'clock, and Xiao Xiaohui hadn't come yet.
Maybe it was a traffic jam on the road, she thought like this, and took the initiative to make excuses for her old classmate who didn't arrive so late, after all, it was rush hour after work, and the taxi was still a little congested on the road when she came.
However, six o'clock and five minutes passed, Xiao Xiaohui did not come, and after six o'clock and ten o'clock, Xiao Xiaohui still did not come, and Wu You finally lost his breath.
So, she had to take out her mobile phone to call Xiao Xiaohui, but no one answered the phone for a long time, and it even hung up automatically after the last minute.
She only felt a little headache, this Xiao Xiaohui, what the hell is going on? Could it be that she forgot to bring her phone when she went out? So she didn't hear her phone ring in the taxi at this time?
Although she thought so, she still didn't believe such a reason, after all, the possibility of forgetting to bring her phone when she went out was too low, so within a few minutes, she pressed the replay button again.
And this time, the phone rang for nearly ten seconds before it was picked up, but the person who picked it up threw a word of English and asked who she was? And it was the voice of a young man.
Wu You was completely stunned at this time, and only reacted when the young man asked her who she was in English, and quickly replied in English, I will look for Xiao Xiaohui.
"Oh, you're looking for my mom?" The young man's voice came again, and then patiently explained: "My mother is cooking in the kitchen now, you wait a minute, I'll send her the phone downstairs, and her phone is charging upstairs?" ”
"Wait," Wu You immediately stopped the man on the phone, and then asked suspiciously: "What, what did you say your mother was doing just now?" ”
"Cooking in the kitchen?" The man's voice over there came naturally, and then he asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”
"And where are you now?" Wu You's heart immediately chuckled, Xiao Xiaohui asked her to eat in Haiyue City at night, while she was cooking at home, what does this mean?
"We are in xxxxx" again the young man came with a long list of English, and the name of the place was clearly not the place in Ben City.
"I'm asking which city in China you're in," Wu You couldn't help but ask again, unfamiliar with the English name in the young man's mouth.
"Cities in China?" The young man was also puzzled, and couldn't help muttering, "We are on Wall Street, how can we be in a Chinese city?" ”
"Wall Street?" Wu You was immediately stunned, and was about to ask again, but at this time, there was a knock on the door.
She instinctively hung up the phone, hesitated for a moment and walked to the door, stretched out her hand to open the door of the private room, but was completely stunned in an instant-
Because the person standing outside the door at this time was actually Shi Hongfeng, secretary of the Bincheng Municipal Party Committee and her former ex-husband!
