Chapter 358: Overnight
It was already more than eight o'clock at night when he came out of the study, and although his grandfather strongly invited Gu Yan to stay in the old mansion, he was still rejected by Chen Xinyao's sisters and brothers.
Chen Xinyao just wants to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible, although the old man Chu loves and respects them very much, but Wang Lan and his wife, as well as tonight's events, Chen Xinyao has never had a good impression.
In any case, no matter how magnificent it is, it is not her own home, and she would rather live a little harder than step into this kind of mansion surrounded on all sides again.
"When we come, we will be together, so we must do the whole play, let's go, go back together?" Zhong Ming said to Chen Xinyao, who was standing under the eaves and watching the sudden downpour at the door, which made the people next to him feel extremely surprised.
"How could you?" Chen Xinyao was a little surprised, she thought that her grandfather was so retained, Zhong Ming should spend the night here before leaving, obviously when she just arrived at home, she heard Zhong Ming explain to the maid that she was going to spend the night here tonight, and asked the other party to help clean up.
"Questions? Could it be that you and Gu Yan are going to take a taxi back alone? Zhong Ming could see the surprise in the other party's eyes, his face was expressionless, as if he had seen through the other party's thoughts.
"No, no, no, that, it's naturally best if we can go back together, I thought you were going to stay tonight, so I didn't bother!" Obviously, I feel warm for this kindness of the other party, especially on this rainy night.
Hearing the rustiness and politeness shown in Chen Xinyao's words, Zhong Ming suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and even felt inexplicably irritable about such words.
"And when are we leaving?" Chen Xinyao saw that the rain outside was obviously much lighter, and now was the best time to go home.
"Whatever!" Zhong Ming instantly pulled a deaf face, and the obvious indifference suddenly struck, and Zhong Ming's face was obviously less pleasant than the previous few seconds.
The displeasure for a while made Chen Xinyao scratch her head, and suddenly thought it was her own illusion: "Then let's go?" ”
Seeing Zhong Ming casting a scrutinizing gaze at him, Chen Xinyao suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly added: "I mean it's raining a little now, it's the best time to go back, but if you still have something to do, we can wait for you!" ”
"In that case, let's go!" Zhong Ming waved his hand lightly at the servant who happened to be not far away, suggesting that the other party had sent them an umbrella.
When the servant in the distance saw this formation, he naturally understood his command, and immediately returned to the H storage room and brought Zhong Ming and them an umbrella.
"Young master, because the flowers and plants of the old man in the back need to be covered and covered, the umbrellas at home are all taken to the back by the big guys to use, and there is only one like this now." The maid was worried that this small umbrella was not enough to support the two of them, and that they might need a little rain, so they deliberately explained and did not think about anything else.
Hearing the maid say this, Zhong Ming didn't get angry, but replied, "Okay!" This reply blocked Chen Xinyao's words that she wanted to speak and stopped, and finally said nothing.
"Have you ever seen Ah Yan?" Chen Xinyao felt that only one umbrella and three people couldn't hold it, and both of them were still in a dilemma.
"It seems that Fang Cai has already gone to the car to wait, I heard him walk towards the parking lot just now, presumably the rain is too heavy, and he should still be there for a while!" The maid replied to Chen Xinyao's words.
Originally, they were also about to send an umbrella to each other, but Gu Yan saw that the servants had been busy with the flowers and plants in the yard, and there were no shelves, and they specially instructed them to be careful of the rain, which made them have an extremely good impression of Gu Yan.
"When he met me just now, I told him to go over and wait first, the people in the family should not have any time at the moment, grandpa has this hobby, and everyone's mind is on those flowers and plants on rainy days." Seeing that Chen Xinyao wanted to ask something, Zhong Ming took the lead in replying to the other party's words.
The original intention was not to hide many things that needed to be hidden, but when she heard Zhong Ming suddenly take the initiative to talk to herself, Chen Xinyao really felt a little uncomfortable.
"Let's go, then?"
"Hmm!"
Chen Xinyao looked at the umbrella with some hesitation, and instantly made up her mind that she planned to rush into the rain alone, after all, with Zhong Ming's virtue on weekdays, she has been pampered since she was a child, and it is said that her body is not very good, since it is his umbrella, where does she have the courage to peep?
Seeing that Chen Xinyao pulled up the hem of her slightly longer professional clothes, Zhong Ming saw the other party on the side, and deliberately tied her hair, obviously going to the rhythm of the rain.
"I'll wait for you in the car!" Chen Xinyao was about to rush into the rain, but she didn't expect to be ordered by the person behind her, which really startled her.
"What are you doing? Come here! Zhong Ming saw that Chen Xinyao was obviously frightened by her actions, and before she could react, she grabbed the other party's hand and pulled her into her arms.
"But this umbrella is too small!" In the face of this sudden move, Chen Xinyao's heart suddenly beat extremely violently, and even with a hint of blush, she wanted to explain a little uncomfortably.
"Then stay close!" Zhong Ming's words in the last second made people feel particularly excited, but in the next second, like the heavy rain outside, all the arrogance that had just been ignited before was extinguished: "If you are sick, don't infect me, and I can't tolerate any viruses and bacteria in my home!" ”
"You! It's really like a dog can't spit out ivory from his mouth! Although Chen Xinyao was complaining about the other party, she could only mumble to herself, and her voice was so low that even she was about to lose her hearing, for fear that Zhong Ming would put their sister and brother down at this time.
This is a suburb, and the people who can buy houses here are all businessmen who have expanded the territory of the shogunate before, and it can be said that this is the largest wealthy area in the whole city, and at that time, only people who have been in business for more than 30 years in the shogunate can settle here.
On weekdays, if you want to take a taxi in this kind of place, you basically have a wait-and-see mentality, not to mention that it is a rainy day at this time, and it is simply delusional to want to go back.
At this time, the family was busy with work, and it was rare to have a regular meeting with their sister and brother as an outsider, so when Zhong Ming said that she would go back together, not to mention how happy she was in her heart.
The body was a little tight, especially when she felt that there was a huge body, wrapping herself, Chen Xinyao even felt a little breathless, and when her heartbeat was about to burst, she had already arrived at the parking lot.
Fortunately, it has arrived, Chen Xinyao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, just raised her head, and found that Gu Yan was looking at her with ambiguous eyes, obviously the appearance of the two people holding an umbrella just now had reached each other's eyes, Chen Xinyao knew that this guy Gu Yan was making fun of herself again.
Xu is Gu Yan, who has always had other opinions about Zhong Ming when he saw Chu Hefeng personally admit that he had someone who was about to talk about marriage tonight, actually looked at Zhong Ming very pleasing to the eye at this time, and even had a hint of secret joy.
At least such a handsome person is his brother-in-law, no matter his identity, appearance or other aspects, he is better than Chu Hefeng, but the bad thing is that he is too cold!
It wasn't until she got into the car that Chen Xinyao came to her senses, and the heartbeat that had just emerged was gradually suppressed, and she secretly laughed at herself in her heart at this time.
Sure enough, I haven't been in love for too long, and I almost fell in love with Zhong Ming just now because I was holding an umbrella together! If you are ridiculed, you will definitely laugh at yourself again.
The speed of the car was driving normally in the rain, and Chen Xinyao suddenly realized that when she was waiting for the rain at the door, what Zhong Ming said had no logic at all!
They don't live together now, nor do they get along closely, they are busy with their own work and life, if it weren't for Gu Yan's return to China this time, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to get together, then even if she got sick, she might infect him?!
Thinking that a self-righteous person like Zhong Ming would also have logical confusion, Chen Xinyao laughed out loud uncontrollably.
The people next to him and the people in the back seat were all attracted by this inexplicable laughter, especially Gu Yan in the back seat who asked before Zhong Ming: "Sister, what makes you so happy?!" ”
"I can't just laugh and laugh, is it possible to have an ice cube face all day long?" Chen Xinyao's words were insinuating, on the one hand, she was refuting Gu Yan's words, and on the other hand, she was also alluding to Zhong Ming's usual behavior.
