Chapter 212: Too tired
The last fierce autumn wind of early November blew on the campus, it seemed that the tail of autumn was sneaking away, but no one could catch it, even if you stretched out your hand, you couldn't catch any wind, it was like a little bit of time, taking away every second of everyone's remaining time in school.
Su Xin's mind burst out with these feelings, and she suddenly felt a little sad, but laughed at herself for being sentimental, she tied the belt of the school uniform windbreaker, and walked towards the door against the autumn breeze.
It was a normal autumn noon, but there was an unusual person.
When Su Xin walked to the stationery store next to the school gate and was about to buy himself some black pens, he saw Su Mu making a phone call at the school gate, and when he saw Su Xin coming over, he immediately smiled and beckoned to Su Xin to come over.
"That...... Mr. Sun, let's talk back, that's it first, hey, okay. Su Mu put the phone in her bag, she was dressed like an elite in the workplace today, dressed in professional clothes, and the high heels on her feet were charming, but her pure face was not suitable for heavy makeup, which was a bit out of harmony. Su Xin felt that Second Sister Su Mu should always be a little girl.
"Second sister, why are you here?" Su Xin approached and found that Su Mu's face was a little haggard, which was a tiredness that makeup couldn't hide.
"Come and see you, let's go, sister will take you to dinner." Su Mu took Su Xin's hand.
The two walked into a Western restaurant, even if they went out with their friends, they had never come in, not to mention that they were wearing school uniforms, and they always felt that they were not suitable for this kind of formal restaurant, and as for etiquette and other things, she had never learned a little.
"What's wrong?" Su Mu found that there was a slight resistance from the hand he was holding, and frowned.
Su Xin smiled: "Second sister, this restaurant is a bit expensive, why don't we find some other small restaurants." ”
Su Mu saw Su Xin's embarrassment, and then smiled: "It's okay, let's find a room alone, I know the owner of this restaurant, so it's okay to wear something." ”
Su Xin hesitated, nodded and followed her.
There was melodious music in the store, it should be classical music, and the waiters in the store were all dressed appropriately, Su Xin even suspected that these waiters were carefully selected, all of them were magnificent and extraordinary.
Although it is a separate room, there does not seem to be a separate private room in the western restaurant like the local one, but two thick screens are used to block the sight of others, it is a four-person table, seeing this table, Su Xin knew that Su Jiamu, the second uncle, was coming, and suddenly lost his appetite.
"Second sister, you look a little haggard." Su Xin asked, she felt a little hot and took off the coat of her school uniform.
Su Mu quickly ordered three steaks on the menu, and it seemed that Su Xin didn't have a choice.
"Oh, it's just that things have been a bit busy lately." Su Mu picked up the spoon of the coffee cup, but the spoon accidentally slipped out of her hand, as if Su Mu had no strength to support it.
"Second sister...... Are you alright? Su Xin asked worriedly.
"It's okay, it's okay." Su Mu blinked hard, trying to sober himself up.
The two began to talk about family life, but most of them were Su Mu asking Su Xin about her family's situation, as well as Su Xin's recent grades, and whether she had a favorite university and city. It seems that she deliberately led the topic in this direction, even if Su Xin diverted the topic to other miscellaneous matters, Su Mu was also immediately changing the topic back to the grades, as if she was very concerned about this matter.
It wasn't until the waiter came with three steaks that Su Jiamu followed behind.
His face was terrible! His face was pale, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness, and the dark circles under his eyes were obviously like the smoky makeup on Su Mu's face, and his cheeks seemed to have lost a lot of weight compared to the day before yesterday.
While disgusted, Su Xin also had a little more curiosity and sympathy.
"What's wrong?" Su Jiamu smiled: "Why are you staring at me?" His voice also seemed to be a little hoarse, and the moment he sat down, the smell of smoke came to his nose, stimulating Su Xin to lean back.
"You didn't even tie your tie." Su Mu said that she put down her knife and fork and helped Su Jiamu tidy up her clothes and collar. Su Xin noticed that Su Jiamu's socks were not matching, and he should have worn the wrong one.
Su Mu saw Su Xin's strange eyes looking at the two of them, and smiled awkwardly: "It's okay, I've been busy lately, your uncle sold another house in the family to gamble, and in the end he lost all his money, Su Lao was angry about this, so the industries under your uncle's hands fell into the hands of your second uncle, and the life was doubled, last night I and your second uncle didn't sleep, and we have been running around in various factories to check matters and equipment." ”
"Or ...... Don't get too tired. Su Xin thought about it for a long time, and only popped out this sentence.
As if hearing something shocking, Su Jiamu seemed to be frightened by Su Xin's sudden concern, stared at Su Xin for a long time, and only reacted when he saw the waiter coming over and asking him if he wanted red wine.
Su Xin has always been unaccustomed to eating the food in the restaurant, especially the steak, and what Su Mu ordered for her was still medium-rare, which seemed to connoisseurs that this might be the fattest and tender time for beef, but Su Xin felt that there was a bloody taste, and she didn't like it very much, so she only ate half of it.
"Su Xin." Su Jiamu asked, "How are you studying lately?" ”
Hearing this, Su Xin glanced at Su Mu, and she asked the same question countless times, which couldn't help but make her feel that the two seemed to have a plan. But he took it anyway: "It's okay." ”
"In the last monthly exam, how many grades are there?"
"About 40 grades."
"That'...... It's still very good, you work hard, and work hard to get to the top ten in your grade. ”
"Why do you care about this?" Su Xin put down the knife and fork, half because it was a little strange, and half because he didn't want to eat it.
Su Jiamu looked at Su Xin, the chewing movement in his mouth slowed down, he stared at Su Xin, if it wasn't for the illusion, Su Xin felt that he saw a little tenderness and dodging, as if his question asked a question that he couldn't answer, he also slowly put down the knife and fork, and then slowly spoke.
"Dad...... It's your grandfather......"
"You still use the title of Su Ye."
"That'...... He said that the two-year period is almost up, and if ...... If your grades don't meet his expectations, and if you don't go to a good university, he will take back the family's house. ”
"So this is still a Daohongmen banquet, right?" Su Xin's eyes quickly became angry, and she even felt that she should spit out everything she had just eaten.
"It's not...... Listen to me. Su Jiamu seemed to have something to explain, but Su Xin didn't listen, and directly picked up his schoolbag and school uniform: "Thank you for your hospitality, I'll go first." Su Jiamu's outstretched hand was dusted off by her, and Su Xin felt that he had hit a hard branch.
She walked faster and faster, and ran after going out of the door, and the wind outside was stronger than before she came in, as if she was walking a step slower, and anyone behind her would catch her, and she ran very quickly, because it was against the wind, so the wind in her ears was as loud as if she was holding an electric fan.
A shrill whistle sounded in her ears, and when she reacted and turned her head, a taxi sped towards her.
