However, this situation continued, Lu Tingshen and Ji Yan were both busy with each other, and neither of them took the initiative to contact each other.

But the outsiders are confused, the bystanders are clear, and the two seem to be fine, but the Lu family senses that something seems wrong with them.

In the afternoon of the same day, Lu Tingshen returned to the office after a meeting and received a call from his mother.

"Is my son busy?" Mother Lu asked in a warm tone.

At this time, except for urgent matters, Lu Tingshen will hardly receive calls from his family.

He felt a little strange, and responded lightly: "I was in a meeting just now, what's the matter with Mom?" ”

Mother Lu replied in a pretended disgusted tone: "You haven't come back to see me and your father for many days, why don't you come over for dinner tonight?" ”

Hearing this, Lu Tingshen fell into a short silence.

recalled the last time I took the initiative to call Ji Yan, it had been ten days since now, and during this time, they were like strangers and had no contact.

Seeing that Lu Tingshen didn't speak, Lu's mother simply helped him make a decision: "Then it's decided, I'll ask your Aunt Song to cook more food in the evening, and you two will come back early!" ”

"Mom, I'm going to work overtime in the company tonight......"

Before he finished speaking, Lu Tingshen found that his mother had hung up the phone.

At the same time, Ji Yan had just handed in the draft designed by working overtime yesterday when he saw someone calling on his mobile phone.

found out that it was Lu's mother's call, and Ji Yan couldn't help but answer, so he had to take his mobile phone and go to the bathroom.

Hiding in the cubicle, she lowered her voice and asked, "Mom, why did you call me suddenly?" Is there something wrong? ”

"Yes, Mom is bored at home alone, you come back to dinner at night to accompany me?" Mother Lu also had a kind tone in front of Ji Yan.

Hearing her request, Ji Yan didn't know how to reply for a while.

After all, these days, she and Lu Tingshen have not had any communication and exchange, and now that Lu's mother wants them to go back to the old house for dinner, she really doesn't know how to deal with it.

"Mom, I've been very busy at work lately, otherwise I'll talk about it on the weekend." Ji Yan can only find a way to delay.

Anyway, it's only Monday, and she still has a few days to go, so she can make excuses when it really comes.

However, Lu's mother seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and gently persuaded: "No matter how busy you are at work, you have to rest, and besides, my mother has not been feeling well recently, so I just want you to come over and help me take a look." ”

With this as a reason, Ji Yan really couldn't refuse, so he had to agree to it.

"Okay then, I'll ask Tingshen if he has time, if he can't get busy, I'll come and see you alone." Ji Yan's tone was reluctant.

But she hoped that Lu Tingshen would not go back, because as long as she didn't meet this man, she hoped that she would deal with the Lu family alone.

Hanging up the phone, Ji Yan was a little irritable, and was about to return to the desk to continue working, when he heard the phone ringing again before he walked out of the bathroom.

found out that it was Lu Tingshen's call, she hesitated whether to answer, and decided to ask about Lu's mother's plans.

Back in the cubicle, Ji Yan answered the call.

On the other end, Lu Tingshen's voice was very cold, and he asked without being salty or light: "Are you at work?" I have something to tell you. ”

Ji Yan was still quite surprised by his words, so he asked inexplicably: "Yes, I'm at work, what's the matter with you calling me for the first time?" ”

"My mother called just now and asked us to go back to the old house for dinner in the evening, you have to be there anyway."

Lu Tingshen's tone was as clear as reading a document, and he couldn't even hear any emotions.

Hearing his stern voice, Ji Yan was very disgusted by such a tone, and his first reaction was to refuse.

But when it comes to thoughts, she still didn't show her true feelings, and responded calmly: "I already know, and she called me too." ”

When the words fell, Lu Tingshen couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

He didn't expect his mother to do both, and it seemed that letting them go back was not just as simple as eating.

After a pause for a few seconds, Lu Tingshen changed his tone of discussion and said, "In this case, then let's talk on the phone first." ”

"What do you want to talk about?" Ji Yan asked cautiously.

Lu Tingshen's words were still cold, and he expressed his thoughts straightforwardly.

"My mother may have noticed that we came in and were estranged, and she probably called us back to talk because she wanted to go to dinner, so you have to be prepared." Lu Ting's deep voice explained.

Hearing this, Ji Yan understood why Lu's mother suddenly called them.

"Got it, I'll get over sooner." She replied casually.

Lu Tingshen was not very satisfied with her performance of not being a thing, and warned in a cold voice: "Remember not to be late, what you need to do today is to go back to the old mansion with me, don't let them worry, if they say what they say and do what they want." ”

Lu Tingshen's commanding tone also made Ji Yan unhappy, and she suppressed the annoyance in her heart and asked, "You seem to be ordering me?" ”

There has been no communication for more than ten days, and Ji Yan didn't plan to inquire about the rumored model, but he was entangled in the matter of returning to the old house.

Lu Tingshen heard her question and replied with a cold attitude: "Whatever you think, you should know that not cooperating with me will not be beneficial to you or the Ji family." ”

This is clearly threatening her!

Suddenly, Ji Yanqi didn't come out, and his mind was full of when the contract between them would come to an end.

But in the end, she calmed down and calmly agreed: "Okay, at six o'clock in the evening, I will wait for you at the intersection of the boulevard of the old house." ”

After ending the call between the two, Ji Yan returned to his desk, his eyes staring at the computer screen and began to wander.

It's only three o'clock now, and she hopes that time will pass slowly, so that she can see Lu Tingshen later.

After all, the two have nothing to say when they meet.

They appeared together at the old mansion that night, and when they entered the door, they looked like loving husband and wife holding hands.

Mother Lu sat on the sofa and watched them enter the door, and hurriedly got up and greeted: "Come in quickly, dinner will be ready soon, I'll go to the study to call your father." ”

Lu Tingshen pretended to hold Ji Yan's waist with a gentle smile on his face.

"Mom, sit still, I'll go to the study and ask Dad to come downstairs."

When the words fell, Lu Ting whispered to Ji Yan with deep affection, changed his shoes and walked quickly onto the stairs.

Mother Lu saw that the relationship between the young couple was actually not bad, so she was relieved, so she called Ji Yan over to chat.

It's just that what Lu Tingshen said in her ear just now, only Ji Yan herself knows.

"You'd better not mess up, or it won't do anyone any good."

As soon as he thought of this, Ji Yan, who was sitting on the sofa, couldn't help but grit his teeth.

It wasn't enough to threaten her on the phone, Lu Tingshen just entered the door of the old mansion, and he didn't forget to give himself a dismount.

Next, before dinner, Lu's mother has been patiently doing ideological work for Ji Yan, and at the same time talking about her various experiences in getting along with husband and wife.

After Lu Tingshen entered the study, he also did not call his father downstairs smoothly, but listened to Lu's father's endless nagging and persuaded him to manage his marriage well.

Obviously, this was discussed by the old couple before they came back.

Fortunately, the two had an agreement first, and when the two left that night, no one showed any flaws in front of their families, and the trip was perfunctory.

The next morning, because yesterday's incident affected Ji Yan, she obviously didn't pay enough attention at work today.

With her hand on her chin drawing, she stared at the computer screen and felt drowsy.

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from beside him.

"Did you go to a nightclub last night?"

Hearing that it was Ji Rou who came over and spoke to herself, Ji Yan turned her face to defend herself: "If you like to go to that kind of place, don't take me with you." ”

"Why are you so sensitive, I just see that you are not in a good mental state." Ji Rou sneered disappreciatively.

Seeing that Ji Rou came over with other plans, Ji Yan raised his vigilance and asked, "Then what is the matter with you suddenly looking for me?" ”

In the company, the reason why she was isolated by her colleagues in the department was due to Ji Rou's fanning of the flames.

In terms of telling right and wrong, this woman can be described as invincible.

Ji Rou had a hypocritical smile on her little face, looked at her face, and pretended to express concern: "I'm not worried about you, I'm afraid that you will be too tired from work, so I'll find something for you to take a break." ”

As she spoke, she opened the folder tucked under her armpit, and it was not a file, but a few photos.

"Look at it yourself, is the person in the photo quite familiar, two days ago at the banquet thanks to my sharp eyes, or how to help you take so vividly."

Ji Rou put the folder on the table and winked at Ji Yan.

At this time, Ji Yan saw that the man and woman in the photo were Lu Tingshen and the rumored mixed-race model.

Although the two don't seem to be so close, the gesture of raising a glass to each other is obviously knowing each other.

For a moment, Ji Yan seemed to have eaten a fly, and he was inexplicably a little aggrieved in his heart, but he couldn't say why.

She didn't want to see these photos at all, but she had to pretend to be calm in front of Ji Rou.

"Just a picture, what do you want to say?" Ji Yan asked disdainfully, and at the same time behaved calmly and generously: "Since it is a banquet, what does it matter if the guests have a glass of wine?" ”

But Ji Rou felt that she was deceiving herself at all, deliberately holding herself up in front of herself.

"Forget it, I don't believe you'll be so indifferent, it's been reported on the entertainment news, are you still pretending to be stupid?" Ji Rou gloated.

At this time, Ji Yan was indeed hiding her true emotions, but even if she felt uncomfortable, she would not show it in front of Ji Rou.

"You don't have to worry about my affairs, please take these photos away."

Ji Yan said coldly, pushing the folder with a look of disgust.

Although Ji Rou was still unwilling, she was still telling Ji Yan what she had investigated, but she was still unmoved.
