Chapter 215: Respect is mutual
Su Jingxing couldn't help frowning when he saw this caller ID.
Two words flashed on the screen of the mobile phone - Mom.
Su Jingxing has not contacted his family since the last time he had a quarrel with Qi Guanmei at home. Now that Qi Guanmei is calling, it is still at this time, and Su Jingxing naturally subconsciously does not want to answer.
However, Meng Zhuyao grabbed Su Jingxing's hand and shook her head gently.
Seeing Meng Zhuyao like this, Su Jingxing had no choice but to reluctantly press the answer button, but his tone was faint and a little alienated: "Mom." ”
"Why did it take so long to answer the phone?" Qi Guanmei's voice sounded a little dissatisfied: "Where are you now?" ”
"I've got something to do, so you can talk about it." Su Jingxing ignored Qi Guanmei's question with some impatience.
Qi Guanmei was silent on the other end of the phone for a while, and Su Jingxing seemed to be able to faintly hear Qi Guanmei's sigh. After a while, just when Su Jingxing was frowning and wanted to hang up the phone, he heard Qi Guanmei whisper: "I know that you had an accident at the door of the company yesterday." You should be in the hospital right now, right? I'll come and see you. ”
The sentence "you" has obviously included Meng Zhuyao. It seems that nothing can escape Qi Guanmei's eyes.
Su Jingxing glanced at Meng Zhuyao, and saw that Meng Zhuyao's expression was a little embarrassed, so he politely refused: "No need, it's not a big deal, you don't have to come over, save more trouble." ”
This last half of the sentence naturally reminds Qi Guanmei - now that Meng Zhuyao is recuperating in the hospital, I hope she will not interfere in the relationship between the two at this juncture, which will cause Meng Zhuyao's mood to be even worse.
After speaking, without waiting for Qi Guanmei to say anything more, Su Jingxing hung up the phone.
At this time, in the living room of Su's house, Qi Guanmei looked at the mobile phone in her hand that was only busy and sighed lightly. After thinking for a while, she reopened the address book and clicked on Su Jinlan's phone number......
As the eldest brother, Meng Yuzhou is still very competent. He said that he wanted to come to see Meng Zhuyao, so he really bought gifts and bouquets as soon as he left the airport.
At this time, it was lunch time, Su Jingxing went out to buy Meng Zhuyao's favorite pizza and fruit, and there was only one nurse and Meng Zhuyao left in the ward.
When Meng Yuzhou's tall figure appeared at the door, the nurses were startled. But she was soon sent out by Meng Yuzhou.
"Brother." Meng Zhuyao looked at the big bag in Meng Yuzhou's hand with some embarrassment, and smiled reluctantly: "I'm not injured and have to be hospitalized for a long time, why are you bringing so many things?" ”
"I bought it." Meng Yuzhou took it very casually, and then sat opposite Meng Zhuyao: "Have you found the person who attacked you?" ”
"Not yet, the police are investigating, and Xiaojing has been looking for it privately." Meng Zhuyao smiled faintly: "Actually, I'm not seriously injured at all, so I don't need to be so excited." ”
Meng Yuzhou casually put his coat at the foot of the hospital bed, leaned on the chair next to the bed and loosened his tie, the whole person looked a little tired, but his thoughts were still clear: "Of course you can't just expose it, since this person dares to attack you, then there are two of them, it is a big hidden danger, and it must be found out." ”
Meng Zhuyao touched the glass of water in her hand, lowered her head slightly, and really didn't know what to say.
The window in the ward was open, and a breeze blew, and I could faintly smell some fragrance.
Meng Yuzhou tilted his head slightly, and saw the white tulips placed at the head of the bed.
Meng Zhuyao naturally noticed Meng Yuzhou's gaze, so she smiled and said, "This is what Lan Lan brought this morning, her favorite is tulips, but she only likes the white ones." She intentionally or unintentionally mentioned Su Jinlan's preferences.
Hearing Su Jinlan's name, Meng Yuzhou's brows, which had been frowning, were also soothed: "Well, it is very in line with her style." ”
"Speaking of which, haven't you contacted Lan Lan since you returned to China?" Meng Zhuyao asked tentatively.
Meng Yuzhou opened his mouth slightly, and was about to answer, but he heard a knock on the door, and then a middle-aged woman in a dark red dress walked in, her chestnut hair was coiled behind her head, and she looked a little rich.
Meng Zhuyao sat up straight all of a sudden: "Mrs. Su......"
Because of the suspicion between the two before, Meng Zhuyao didn't dare to call too intimate.
Qi Guanmei was also slightly stunned when she saw the two people in the ward. Obviously, she didn't expect her sudden visit to conflict with Meng Yuzhou's itinerary.
Meng Yuzhou tilted his head slightly, and when he saw Qi Guanmei, he only nodded as a greeting.
Meng Zhuyao wanted to get out of bed to greet Qi Guanmei politely, but saw Qi Guanmei wave her hand to stop: "You lie on the bed, don't get up, you're still injured." ”
At this moment, Meng Zhuyao saw that Qi Guanmei was carrying some gifts in her hands.
Trying to contain the surprise in his eyes, Meng Zhuyao smiled: "I didn't expect you to come over suddenly, the hospitality is not good, please take a seat." ”
Qi Guanmei nodded, put down her things and sat down not far from Meng Yuzhou, but her eyes couldn't help but be attracted by Meng Yuzhou: "I don't know that Mr. Meng is here today, it's rude." I heard Lan Lan talk about Meng ...... The lady lives here, so she came over to have a look. ”
Meng Yuzhou has always cared not very much about the elders of the Su family, especially Qi Guanmei, who has always been against Meng Zhuyao, so he doesn't have a good face, but he said lightly: "Thank you Mrs. Su for caring about my sister." ”
"You're welcome."
After Qi Guanmei said this, there was an eerie silence in the ward. Even if Meng Zhuyao is usually sharp-tongued, he doesn't know what to say at this time, for fear that if one of them is wrong, the two in front of him will turn their faces.
She knows Meng Yuzhou very well, although he is the adopted son of the Meng family, he is naturally a little proud. And Qi Guanmei usually holds the shelf of a noblewoman, and she is not a very good person.
Qi Guanmei politely asked about Meng Zhuyao's injury, and after getting a not too serious answer, her eyes kept falling on Meng Yuzhou's body.
Meng Yuzhou naturally noticed Qi Guanmei's eyes, so he took the initiative to stand up: "Mrs. Su has something to say, why don't we go outside and talk about it?" ”
Qi Guanmei was waiting for Meng Yuzhou's words, so she naturally stood up immediately and followed Meng Yuzhou to the door of the ward.
At this time, there was no one in the corridor of the hospital, but it was convenient for the two of them to talk.
As soon as Meng Yuzhou came up, he went straight to the point, looked at Qi Guanmei condescendingly, and said, "I don't know if Mrs. Su came to see Yaoyao today, do you have anything to say to Yaoyao?" She's hurt right now and she's not in a good mood, so you can tell me about it directly. ”
Qi Guanmei was stunned for a moment, and then shook her head: "No, I just want to come and see her." Mr. Meng doesn't have to think of me as so vicious, after all, this time she protected my son, and I should thank him. ”
"That's for the best." Meng Yuzhou nodded: "I hope you can respect my sister and her feelings." ”
When Qi Guanmei heard Meng Yuzhou speak like this, she was also a little unhappy in her heart: "Mr. Meng said this as if I was unreasonable. Let's put aside the matter of Meng Zhuyao and my son, in fact, I have always wanted to talk to Mr. Meng about the scandal you had with my daughter last time. ”
"That's not a scandal." Unexpectedly, Meng Yuzhou said bluntly: "I am indeed pursuing your daughter." ”
"......" Qi Guanmei choked hard at Meng Yuzhou's words: "Are you serious?" ”
"Of course, I take every relationship seriously." Meng Yuzhou looked directly into Qi Guanmei's eyes: "Since you brought up this topic first, then of course I have to make it clear." As long as Lan Lan is willing, I can get engaged to Lan Lan at any time, and in terms of dowry, your Su family can put forward conditions, and I will do my best to meet them. This is my respect for Lan Lan and your Su family. ”
"But at the same time, I also hope that your Su family can maintain due respect for Yaoyao, I think this is the most important point in the future relationship between our two families."
Meng Yuzhou said it to this point, and even if Qi Guanmei didn't feel very comfortable listening to it, she couldn't say anything to refute it.
However, although Su Jinlan was not born by herself, she was also raised by herself. Therefore, Qi Guanmei still asked a little awkwardly: "Then Mr. Meng recklessly and openly with Lan Lan in front of the media, has he considered Lan Lan's feelings?" She probably doesn't want your relationship to be so high-profile, after all, you're not officially together yet. ”
Qi Guanmei did not miss any opportunity to give the Meng family a chance to get off the horse.
Meng Yuzhou raised his eyebrows and looked at her, but there was no trace of panic and anger in his eyes, he just nodded and said, "What you said makes sense." But what if Lan Lan doesn't resist the relationship? You may not know - Lan Lan and I have done everything we should and shouldn't do, except for determining our names. ”
“……”
Qi Guanmei looked at Meng Yuzhou with wide eyes, and was a little speechless for a while.
What does he mean by that? Could it be that Su Jinlan ...... in private? Thinking of the headline of the last media news, saying that the two were in the same room and had breakfast together in the morning, it sounded like a media reporter scribbling to attract people's attention before, but now listening to Meng Yuzhou's future, it seems very logical.
Before Qi Guanmei could ask a few more questions, she saw Meng Yuzhou nodding.
"Yes, Mrs. Su, what are you thinking about now, what is the relationship between me and Lan Lan."
After speaking, Meng Yuzhou glanced down at his watch: "It's not early, I still have to go to the company, if you are still dissatisfied or do not understand something, you can find me at any time." Need me to leave you a contact information? ”
Qi Guanmei shook her head in a daze, and was speechless for a long time.
Meng Yuzhou saw that Qi Guanmei had nothing to say, so he went in and explained a few words to Meng Zhuyao, and then left the hospital.
