Chapter 21: The Dinner

"It seems that Tang Xuanxuan didn't tell you what I said that day!" Xia Yuqing sneered, and then said: "I know what I should do, I don't need you to remind me three times or twice, but Tang Hancheng, if something happens to Xiaojie in the Tang family, I will count it all on your head!" ”

After finishing speaking, Xia Yuqing didn't give Tang Hancheng a chance to speak at all, and hung up the phone directly.

She knew very well that Tang Hancheng was not a stupid person, and she might be able to bluff him for a while by pretending like this, but it was definitely not a long-term solution.

Xia Yuqing lay on the bed, frowning and remembering what Xia Yujie said to herself that day.

Since marrying Tang Hancheng, Liu Fang has been very good to their father and daughter, but Tang Hancheng and Tang Xuanxuan actually joined forces to design her, this account, Xia Yuqing must settle this account with them!

It's just that now that I'm not in the Tang family, it's not convenient to do some things, and it seems that I mainly have to rely on my younger brother Xiaojie!

But no matter what, their sister and brother will never let go of the Tang family's father and daughter!

Thinking of her mother's tragic death, Xia Yuqing's hand grabbed the quilt tightly, and the hatred in her eyes was all revealed.

The next day, the weekend.

There is no need to go to work, Xia Yuqing looks very relaxed, it is almost eight o'clock when she gets up, she cleans up and goes downstairs, the maid sees her and immediately bows down and says, "Young grandma is up?" I'm going to prepare breakfast for you. ”

Xia Yuqing didn't answer, her eyes swept around the living room, and finally landed on the maid's face.

"Where's the old gentleman?"

"The old gentleman has gone for a walk in the garden."

Xia Yuqing nodded, raised her feet and walked towards the garden.

The old man likes to raise flowers very much, and when Xia Yuqing arrived, he was serving the pot of Mo Lan, and when he saw Xia Yuqing, he immediately beckoned to her.

"Yuqing, are you up? Come and see, this is the last time you sent me Mo Lan. As he spoke, the old man smiled.

Xia Yuqing smiled slightly, walked over to take a closer look at Na Molan, and nodded: "I was taken care of better by my grandfather." ”

"That's it!" The old man held his head high and naturally accepted Xia Yuqing's praise.

At the end, the old man's gaze paused on Xia Yuqing's face, and asked her with a little distress: "You tell me the truth, how are you and Yixuan getting along?" ”

I didn't expect the old man to suddenly ask this question, Xia Yuqing was stunned for a while, and then smiled a little stiffly: "It's good, grandpa, why do you ask that?" ”

Hearing Xia Yuqing's words, the smile on the old man's face immediately disappeared.

"Humph! That kid fooled me, why did you even treat me as a fool? The old man glared at Xia Yuqing, and then asked, "After that kid let you live in the Summer Palace, did you move out?" ”

lowered her eyes, Xia Yuqing did not speak.

Unexpectedly, it turned out that grandpa knew everything, and it seemed that Xiao Yixuan had wasted his efforts.

"Yuqing, do you remember what grandpa told you last time?" The old man asked suddenly.

Xia Yuqing nodded, but did not speak.

Seeing Xia Yuqing's reaction, the old man was a little relieved, but his expression quickly became solemn: "You have been like this, when will grandpa be able to hug his great-grandson?" ”

"But grandpa, Yixuan, he ......" Looking up and seeing the old man's expectant eyes, Xia Yuqing had no choice but to swallow back the words that had reached his mouth.

How to say? Do you want to say that Xiao Yixuan is not interested in women? Wouldn't grandpa be sad in that case?

However, to the old man's ears, Xia Yuqing's unfinished words had another meaning.

"I know Yixuan's temper is not good, he is angry with me, angry that I didn't inform him and married you in for him. But he'll always find out how good you are, so be patient and wait, okay? ”

Listening to the old man's words, Xia Yuqing's heart was mixed.

How can we change our orientation after a while?

In the end, in order not to make the old man sad, Xia Yuqing nodded and agreed to the old man's words.

It wasn't until after lunch that Xia Yuqing left.

Today, Shao Yuan invited his colleagues from the translation team to have a party at 5 o'clock in the afternoon.

When Xia Yuqing arrived, her colleagues were almost there, Xia Yuqing took a closer look, and only Qiu Haimei was missing.

"Yuqing, are you here?" Seeing Xia Yuqing, Shao Yuan stood up first.

Seeing that Shao Yuan was so enthusiastic about Xia Yuqing, the others joked in private.

Xia Yuqing answered, thanked her, and then sat down on the chair that Shao Yuan pulled out for her.

Shao Yuan snapped his fingers, asked the waiter to bring the menu, and said to his colleagues: "Everyone can order whatever they want, but there is only one, and you can't drink." ”

At a rare dinner, Shao Yuan actually proposed such an unwritten rule, and the colleagues who were originally happy immediately broke down their smiles and protested:

"No, team leader, don't let you drink, what's the point of having a dinner?"

"That's right, team leader, you're not interesting enough!"

Everyone said word by word, expressing their dissatisfaction with this rule, but Shao Yuan disagreed, waved his hand and said: "It's not that you don't want everyone to drink, but you can't drink it now, otherwise if you get drunk, how will you go to KTV later?" ”

Hearing Shao Yuan's words, the colleagues were stunned at first, and then laughed one after another, and the tone and content of their speech were also very different from just now:

"I'll just say, how can our team leader be so boring, just eat a meal, it turns out that there is a show arranged later!"

"In that case, team leader, then you're welcome!" A colleague took the menu in his hand and looked at Shao Yuan with a wicked smile, meaning that he was clearly going to blackmail Shao Yuan.

Shao Yuan is serious and rigorous in his work, but he has a very good relationship with his colleagues in private, and waved his hand: "I said just now, you can eat whatever you want!" ”

"Hoohoo! That's great! The man replied excitedly, and soon began to put his head down and order.

Then, Shao Yuan's gaze fell on Xia Yuqing beside him.

Seeing Xia Yuqing put the menu in front of him motionless, Shao Yuan was a little puzzled and asked, "Yuqing, what's wrong?" ”

"What about Qiu Haimei? Aren't we waiting for her? Xia Yuqing asked.

Although Qiu Haimei and Xia Yuqing are not very opposed, after all, they are colleagues in the same department, if you don't wait for her, wouldn't it be embarrassing?

Shao Yuan noticed that there was one person missing, and just as he was about to speak, a voice came from behind him: "Yo, it's rare, you still remember me!" ”

It's a woman's voice.

Everyone looked up, who was it not Qiu Haimei? It's just that there is still a person standing next to Qiu Haimei, it is Lin Meina, who I haven't seen for a long time.

Lin Meina was wearing a pink suit, her long permed hair was bent and curved, and the delicate makeup on her face made several male colleagues present look straight.

"Lin Meina? What are you doing here? Shao Yuan stood up and said to Lin Meina: "Today is a dinner party for our colleagues, I'm afraid it's not convenient for you to be here." ”

The implication is that I hope Lin Meina can be interested and leave on her own.

There was no one at the scene who didn't understand what Shao Yuan meant, and Lin Meina was no exception.

It's just that she smiled faintly and said, "What's wrong with the colleague dinner?" Although I haven't been working in Ruijia for a long time, I can't say that we are all colleagues, and it's not an exaggeration to have a meal together, right? ”

When the male colleagues saw that Lin Meina was dressed beautifully, they all wanted to help her speak, Shao Yuan frowned, and before he could refuse, Qiu Haimei said again: "Team leader, I met Meina at the door of the restaurant, I heard that she came here to eat alone, so I just called her along, I don't mind when I see everyone's appearance, you are so opposed, should you ...... it"

Before she finished speaking, Qiu Haimei's gaze stayed on Xia Yuqing's body, and after a while, she said in a strange manner: "Are you afraid that Yuqing will be unhappy?" But I think Yuqing has always been so generous, I shouldn't care, Yuqing, what do you say? ”

Listening to Qiu Haimei's words, Shao Yuan's heart couldn't help but chuckle.

I usually don't see it, but today he found out that this Qiu Haimei was so scheming, and threw the problem to Xia Yuqing in three or two sentences, if Xia Yuqing refused in public, wouldn't it mean that she had a small belly and couldn't tolerate people?

Shao Yuan understands this meaning, and of course Xia Yuqing also understands it.

Xia Yuqing looked at Lin Meina, and praised with a sincere smile on her face: "Meina, you are very beautiful today!" ”

Lin Meina was disdainful of Xia Yuqing's praise, and Qiu Haimei took the opportunity to say again: "That Yuqing, do you have no opinion on this?" ”

"What can I say?" Xia Yuqing looked at Qiu Haimei suspiciously.

Anyway, it's not her treat, what can she say?

"I'll just say, Yuqing is not so stingy!" While talking, Qiu Haimei pulled Lin Meina and sat down, two male colleagues couldn't help but start talking to Lin Meina, Shao Yuan was too late to stop it even if he wanted to stop it at this time.

So, I had to give up.

Yang Qingqing sat on the other side of Xia Yuqing, and when she saw Lin Meina and Qiu Haimei like that, she faintly felt that something was wrong, and approached Xia Yuqing and whispered: "Yuqing, I think Lin Meina is coming for you, you should be careful later." ”

Xia Yuqing nodded slightly, but didn't answer, just picked up the menu and began to order.

Because of Lin Meina's joining, Shao Yuan talked a lot less, just chatting with Xia Yuqing from time to time, and most of the others chatted with Lin Meina except for gossip and chatting.

I don't know why, someone asked Lin Meina about her life after she left her job, and asked her if she was looking for a job again, Lin Meina sighed, looked at Xia Yuqing and said, "Of course I have to find a job after being fired, otherwise I won't starve to death?" After all, my life is different from Xia Yuqing! ”

Xia Yuqing was eating, and when she looked up at Lin Meina, she obviously felt her ulterior motives.

And everyone's curiosity was also stimulated by Lin Meina, and they asked, "Meina, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Yes, what's wrong with Yuqing? Don't talk half of what you say! ”

Although she didn't know what Lin Meina would say next, Xia Yuqing guessed that it would definitely not be a good thing.

But Lin Meina pretended to leak her mouth, covered her mouth and said, "Yuqing? Did I say anything? ”
