Chapter 113: Marionette
The unconfidence that he had never felt before appeared in his heart so abruptly and rushed out in an unstoppable posture, spreading to every nervous system in his body.
It made him feel uncomfortable and fearful like never before.
This fear comes from worrying about the future relationship between him and Chen Nian, and it also comes from the lack of courage and good attitude to face all this.
Perhaps because of the factors involved in his childhood growth, even if he is a professor now, the lack of self-confidence and inferiority in his bones are still beating his soul at every node.
Chen Niannian couldn't see what was wrong with him, although she believed that her boyfriend didn't dislike Yu Qimiao and Yuan Qin, but she couldn't find any other reason.
She naturally wanted to persuade him to have a meal together, after all, they had already come here, and they suddenly said that they couldn't go, and they couldn't be reasonable.
And tonight is when she meets her boyfriend as her friends, and he agreed just now, and now it's like this...... She was embarrassed to talk to Yu Qimiao.
Yuan Qin and Yu Qimiao were standing not far from the front waiting for them, leisurely and complacent, without deliberately observing their current situation at all.
Chen Niannian breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his voice, and was a little dissatisfied, "Li Junchao, why did you suddenly say such a thing, you would make my friends think that you don't like them." β
"Every year, I really didn't mean that." Li Junchao immediately retorted, his tone was full of helplessness, he stared at Chen Nian for a long time, and he began to be at a loss, "I'm just meeting your friends for the first time, and I'm a little nervous." β
Nervous?
Chen Niannian was taken by Chen Sisi, bullying people everywhere from childhood to adulthood, if it weren't for Yu Qimiao's naughty reputation being too loud, it must be the two sisters who are often in the limelight now.
So for the word nervous, Chen Niannian suddenly realized.
Although Yuan Qin is gentle, he can't hide the noble aura on his body, he treats people detached and indifferent, and he seems to have a sense of distance.
And Yu Qimiao, she understands that she is a crazy woman with a cold face and a warm heart, but in the eyes of outsiders, she is completely a peerless beauty of the iceberg who is extremely cold.
It's not too much to feel nervous about her!
"It's okay, they just look like this, in fact, they themselves are seriously inconsistent with their appearance, just know more about you, come and I'll pull you, don't be afraid."
Chen Niannian seemed to coax a child, pulling Li Junchao and walking in the direction of Yu Qimiao, with a smile of encouragement on his face.
"Okay." Li Junchao saw that he had done it every year, and it seemed that he was too cowardly if he didn't go, and besides, the few people in front had stopped waiting for them for a short time.
If he doesn't make trouble like a woman again, he will not only lose his face, but also can't hold his head up in front of his friends for many years.
He knew that Chen Niannian didn't have many friends, and she seemed to really like these two people.
That's it, he's the one who should try to change!
If he doesn't even have the courage to have a meal with his girlfriend's friends, how will he face his aged family and other people in his social circle in the future?
Yu Qimiao and Yuan Qin's minds were full of their own plans, and they didn't care about carefully observing Chen Niannian and Li Junchao's problems.
So after standing there and waiting for Chen Niannian and Li Junyue to come, he went directly to the private room booked upstairs!
In the elevator, Chen Niannian was worried that he would be cold for a while, so he directly introduced Li Junchao's personal situation to everyone, and introduced the relationship between Yu Qimiao, Yuan Qin, and Zhang Xiaoqi to Li Junchao.
The atmosphere gradually warmed up, and Li Junchao did not have the excessive tension and worry just now.
It's just that the occasional look in his eyes was still sensitively captured by Yuan Qin, and his eyes looked at Chen Niannian and Li Junchao without a trace, and his heart was clear.
The private room set by Yuan Qinding is not big, there are eight seats in total, and there are five of them, and it is just right to sit down loosely, after all, Zhang Xiaoqi alone has three of them.
As soon as he sat down and looked at the menu, Yu Qimiao smiled mysteriously and looked at Yuan Qin like a fool, "Have you been rich again recently, didn't you see me bring Xiao Qi." β
Each dish in this kind of restaurant is only a matter of two or three bites, and according to Zhang Xiaoqi's amount of food, I am afraid that it will not be enough for the whole table to fill the dishes.
If you eat it like this, Yuan Qin will have to vomit blood.
"I said my fiancΓ©e, Miss Yu, do you have any misunderstanding about the Yuan family's property?" Yuan Qin suddenly smiled and pointed to the name of the company on the title page of the menu, "The wool is out of the sheep, you can eat it, the old man will pay." β
Yu Qi Miao: ......
You have to do it, you can't say anything about making a living and doing restaurant business these days, there are restaurants all over the place, you can't afford to provoke it, you can't afford to provoke it!
"Then thank you Yuan Shao today, I'm not welcome." As soon as Chen Niannian heard this, he didn't understand anything, so he closed the menu and handed it to the waiter, "All over, come first according to the amount of ten people." β
Waiter:????
Is it serious that their young friend is serious, really make a ...... That's more than 100 dishes, even if each portion is only 50 grams or 100 grams, it adds up to a lot.
However, the waiter was puzzled, and Yuan Qin didn't say a word, and went down directly.
Whatever, anyway, what the young owner said is right, the wool is out of the sheep, just look at it yourself.
Li Junchao was already frightened by this battle, and he also flipped through the menu just now, and the average price of each dish was about two hundred, not to mention the particularly rare and expensive ones on the last few pages.
This meal must add up to fifty or sixty thousand yuan, which is equivalent to three months' salary...... He has always known that the old family is not poor, but he never knows how much money he has.
According to her friend's consumption level and the sentence that the wool came out of the sheep, he began to be confused!
"Mr. Li is a university professor, he must be very good at academics, and now there are four scumbags sitting on the table, will you feel a headache when you look at it?"
Yuan Qin saw that the relationship between Yu Qimiao and Chen Niannian was okay, and took the initiative to talk to Li Junchao, as the host of this meal, it was really necessary for him to make the atmosphere lively.
is also just tempting the Chen family, the future son-in-law......
"No, no, my academic performance is average, why be modest, presumably heroes who don't judge by their grades are also well educated."
Li Junchao deeply understands that education is not equal to academic qualifications, he has a good academic certificate, but he may not be as good as this young master of the Yuan family in comprehensive education.
β¦β¦
A few people were talking happily with each other, and they chatted along this line.
At the same time, the Fu Xiao villa on the other side.
Yu Qing was caught by Fu Xiao in the middle of the meal, and she couldn't listen to the lecture in peace, and she knew at a glance that it was Yu Qimiao who had an accident again.
That's why Fu Xiao is so anxious to ask her for guilt, and every time he looks for her, it's because of this.
She now suddenly felt that the reasons that Fu Xiao had said before to support her were all fake, and Fu Xiao just wanted to put a dangerous person who wanted to frame the person he liked all the time under his nose.
It can really be said that it is very affectionate!
By the time she cleared her suspicions, the food on the table was already cold.
But Yu Qing not only didn't dare to express a little dissatisfaction, after all, now her life is all from Fu Xiao, and she doesn't have that confidence.
Oh, she's become someone else's appendage!
Fu Xiao had been silent for a long time after listening to her statement, she didn't dare to disturb her, so she sat on the chair and looked at the food in a daze, and then she got up and greeted the nanny, "Auntie, come over and remove all the dishes, and cook some other food for Mr." β
"Let's make two bowls of noodles and add an egg." Fu Xiao finally spoke, and the confinement in Yu Qing's heart was relaxed, and he couldn't help but feel a lot happier when he thought that he also had a bowl of noodles sent by Fu Xiao.
Does this mean that she is becoming more and more of her own person in Fu Xiao's heart?
The nanny couldn't stand such a low pressure, so she quickly responded, and quickly got into the kitchen and started to move.
And Fu Xiao also came back to his senses, his eyes looked straight at Yu Qing like a torch, "You recently went abroad to help me find someone, find a few more things, and then find a few things, as for the specific things, you can find it." β
"Looking for whom?" Yu Qing was confused, just for such a thing...... No, Fu Xiao has so many subordinates, how can it be her turn to find someone who is unprofessional.
Sure enough, when he mentioned this person, Fu Xiao's smile was even brighter, but under the brilliance was all skateblade-like spikes, "Bai Qiuyi!" β
"I haven't been in touch with her for a long time, and I may not be able to find it if I go to find it!" Yu Qing felt that Fu Xiao just suspected that she had always been in contact with Bai Qiuyi, but it was really gone.
Fu Xiao was so ruthless, she didn't dare to have any more contact.
"If you can't find it, don't come back, understand." Fu Xiao's tone was cold, and his eyes narrowed dangerously, "Put away your careful thoughts for me, you just need to be obedient and responsible for finding someone." β
"I see." Yu Qing has long been accustomed to the unequal mode of getting along with Fu Xiao, and the way of answering and dealing with it is becoming more and more skillful.
The skilled nanny and aunt can't help but feel distressed, this year, there is such a way of getting along, it is really sad to watch.
She sent two bowls of noodles to Fu Xiao in a timely manner, and then to a bowl in front of Yu Qing, so hot that Yu Qing only wanted to cry.
Fu Xiao glanced at the nanny aunt, looked at two bowls of noodles, and said impatiently, "Let's go stir-fry again, it's easier to eat, be fast." β
"Got it, sir." The nanny and aunt seem to understand something, but the bowl of noodles has been delivered to Yu Qing, and it will be too face-hurting to take it back.
Thankfully, this gentleman didn't go too far......
As soon as the nanny and aunt left, the atmosphere was stalemate again, and she almost froze the two bowls of noodles!
Yu Qing saw that Fu Xiao didn't speak, so he ate the noodles himself, and every time he took a bite, his heart was like a cut, it hurt but he didn't bleed, and he couldn't cry when he was uncomfortable.
Why did she become what she is today, where she is today?
She shouldn't live like this, everything comes from her greed for Fu Siyan, her lack of greed and delusions about things that don't belong to her.
Things shouldn't have developed like this, it's all greed, but Bai Qiuyi can be sent to study abroad, and she is going to become a marionette.
