Chapter 210: An Unpleasant Family Feast
Meng Zhuyao and Su Jinlan had a long talk this time, so much so that when Meng Zhuyao returned to his office, he saw Su Jingxing already waiting there with a straight face.
In order to allow Su Jingxing to come to work in the Su Group obediently, Su Jinlan specially arranged his office next door to Meng Zhuyao. But that wall was as if it didn't exist for Su Jingxing, and no matter what, he could have an excuse to stay in Meng Zhuyao's office all day.
This Meng Zhuyao's talk today was an hour, which made Su Jingxing wait a little impatiently.
When he is alone in the office, he always feels lonely and a little irritable. Because everything here, including office documents and furnishings, is not to his liking.
After Meng Zhuyao entered the door, she immediately closed the door, walked quickly to Su Jingxing's side, and said with some concern: "Why is your face so bad?" Feeling unwell? ”
"Nope." Su Jingxing grabbed Meng Zhuyao's hand on his forehead, and took Meng Zhuyao into his arms by the way.
Meng Zhuyao felt that Su Jingxing rested his chin on his shoulder, and the whole person seemed to relax all of a sudden, and his deep voice was faintly coquettish: "Why have you been going for so long?" ”
"I talked about a job transfer, so I forgot to look at the time." Meng Zhuyao gently patted Su Jingxing's back: "Sit down." ”
Even when he sat on the sofa, Su Jingxing still hugged Meng Zhuyao and didn't let go, which was very different from the image of a cold and proud male god in the eyes of others. He snorted a little dissatisfied: "I just finished a big contract, are you going to be busy again?" ”
"Not busy." Meng Zhuyao gently patted the back of Su Jingxing's hand, which was to comfort him: "This time it's really an idle errand, I was transferred to the public relations department as the deputy director, and I can have a lot more free time in the future." ”
"What about me?" Su Jingxing narrowed his eyes slightly, he didn't care about what Meng Zhuyao did, he only cared about whether he could be with Meng Zhuyao.
"Don't worry, it's just that the job has been transferred, and the office is still here." Meng Zhuyao turned her head and squinted at him: "Why did you suddenly become so clingy?" ”
Su Jingxing didn't speak, just leaned on Meng Zhuyao and gently kissed Meng Zhuyao's cheek.
The two have been together for so long, and Meng Zhuyao can be said to know some of Su Jingxing's small actions well. Su Jingxing is like this now, obviously tired or in a bad mood.
At this moment, the phone in Su Jingxing's trouser pocket rang.
He frowned slightly, took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and the caller ID was still Ding Lei
"Let's take it." Meng Zhuyao saw it on the side, and couldn't help but speak: "You haven't answered their calls for several days, and you rarely reply to messages." Ding Lei told me everything. ”
Su Jingxing originally planned to press the hand that refused to answer, but in the end he still answered the phone.
As soon as the phone was connected, before Su Jingxing could speak, Ding Lei had already shouted: "Boss, what have you been busy with these days?" Why don't you even answer the phone, we all think something is wrong with you! ”
Su Jingxing's good-looking brows furrowed slightly: "What can happen to me?" But you, why do you call me every day? ”
"I'm going to ask if you don't want a few of our brothers!" Ding Lei's voice sounded a little aggrieved: "You break your fingers and count, how long has it been since you came to the club?" You're not here, we're out of passion...... And isn't the season about to start? Let me ask you, shall we sign up? ”
Su Jingxing really couldn't answer this question for a while.
Meng Zhuyao also looked at him from the side, didn't speak, but felt a little nervous in his heart for no reason.
Su Jingxing took a deep breath, and then only said four words.
"It's not nonsense."
Ding Lei happily agreed, and then went to be busy with the registration matters, and he had to step up training before the competition. However, they didn't urge Su Jingxing to go back to training, after all, even if this master didn't play games for three years, he was still a man standing at the top of the e-sports world.
Meng Zhuyao looked at him with a smile: "Why did you hang up the phone so quickly?" You haven't seen each other for a long time, don't you want to talk about it? During this time, you were only with me, and you didn't train with them. ”
"It's all about their training, I'm just sparring. After all-" Su Jingxing took advantage of Meng Zhuyao's inattention and kissed her: "You know your husband's strength." ”
"Don't be ashamed!" Meng Zhuyao covered her mouth and scolded sullenly.
The two of them got tired of being in the office for a while before they came out slowly, ready to go to the supermarket to buy some ingredients, and go home to continue cooking/love dinner.
But at this moment, Qi Guanmei's call came in.
Su Jingxing sighed "tsk" and didn't want to answer. But Meng Zhuyao gave him a look.
There was no way, so Su Jingxing could only reluctantly press the answer button.
"Xiaojing." Qi Guanmei's voice on the other end of the phone sounded very gentle: "Have you gotten off work?" Mom cooked a few of your favorite dishes today, can you go home for dinner? ”
Su Jingxing subconsciously refused: "No, you can eat by yourself, I still have something to do." ”
"What matters so much? I've asked your sister, and she said she didn't give you too many heavy tasks. You haven't been home for dinner for a month, don't you really want your parents? Qi Guanmei pretended to be angry and slightly accentuated her tone.
Su Jingxing was also a little impatient, and was about to open his mouth to solemnly refuse, but saw Meng Zhuyao grab his hand and shake his head at him.
He understood that Meng Zhuyao meant to let him go back.
Feeling the temperature of Meng Zhuyao's palm, Su Jingxing's mood also improved, so he said lightly: "Okay, I'll come back later." ”
got a satisfactory answer, and Qi Guanmei hung up the phone. It's just that Su Jingxing looked at Meng Zhuyao with some disapproval: "I'm going to eat, so what should you do?" Are you going to come with me? ”
"Your mother only called you, what do I look like?" Meng Zhuyao smiled and said, "It's okay, you can go." It just so happens that I'm a little tired today, so I'll go home and order a takeout later, and I'll rest after eating. ”
Su Jingxing knew that Meng Zhuyao had been busy with her feet because of the projects of Fengxing Group during this period of time, and she had very little sleep time every day, and she worked overtime almost every day, and her body would inevitably be a little unbearable. So he just nodded: "Okay, but don't eat takeout, I'll accompany you to the restaurant to pack the food and send you back, and then I'll go to eat again." ”
Knowing that Su Jingxing cared about him, Meng Zhuyao did not refuse, and let him take him to a high-end restaurant to pack, and then send himself downstairs to the apartment.
Seeing Su Jingxing's car leave, Meng Zhuyao rubbed her face, tried to dispel the uneasy feeling in her heart, and turned to go upstairs.
At this time, the Su Mansion was a little more lively than usual.
The family banquet organized by Qi Guanmei today was completely for Su Jingxing alone, Su Jinlan didn't go home because she was busy with work, but Su Liluo was there.
As soon as Su Jingxing's car drove back to Su's house, Qi Guanmei hurriedly greeted him from the steps: "Xiaojing, you are willing to come back to see your mother, your mother is about to kill you." ”
Su Jingxing closed the car door and nodded a little uncomfortably: "Go in." ”
Since he had an awkward quarrel with his family because of Meng Zhuyao's affairs, Su Jingxing always didn't know how to treat his mother.
However, Qi Guanmei was still very comfortable, and took Su Jingxing's hand into the living room on the first floor. Su Liluo was sitting on the sofa with Su Xianrui eating fruit and chatting at this time.
Seeing Su Jingxing, Su Liluo stood up: "Wait for you for a while, Mom has been looking forward to you coming back for dinner, since everyone is here, let's start eating." ”
Su Xianrui also nodded and put down the magazine in his hand: "Eat, eat, I'm a little hungry." ”
Qi Guanmei pulled Su Jingxing to sit beside him, and began to serve Su Jingxing with vegetables: "Xiaojing, it's been very hard to work during this time, right?" I've heard from your two sisters that you've been running around with them and learning how to do things. ”
There is no doubt that Qi Guanmei is a mother who cares about her children.
But Su Jingxing didn't have much appetite, he just glanced at Su Liluo lightly: "I didn't help much, you all know that I am not suitable or good at doing this." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Qi Guanmei disagreed: "Your two sisters are professional, and they say that you do a good job, that is good." It's just that...... Mom still has to remind you that you should pay attention to some influences when working, and you should avoid it appropriately with Meng Zhuyao. ”
"Mom." Su Jingxing put down his chopsticks with a snap: "Yaoyao has been helping me get familiar with my work. ”
"Tsk, every time you talk about this person, you can't talk to your mother properly, can you?" Qi Guanmei also lowered her face slightly: "Mom is talking to you now, how can you be so disobedient?" I've told you a long time ago that this girl is not for you. Mom believes that without her, you will be able to spend more time on the company's business. ”
"I know if it's suitable for me." Su Jingxing said coldly: "What's more, if it weren't for her, I wouldn't have entered the company at all." ”
"What are you talking about?" Qi Guanmei was originally holding back the fire in her stomach, but now when she saw Su Jingxing protecting Meng Zhuyao like this, she couldn't help it: "Don't think that your mother doesn't know anything, you often go to Meng Zhuyao's office in the company, and you stay for half a day." This woman, she's delaying your career at all! ”
Su Jingxing stood up, ignoring Qi Guanmei, his obsidian eyes turned to glare at Su Liluo: "What did you tell your mother?" ”
Su Liluo was drinking soup at this time, and when she heard this, she only glanced up at him, and said lightly: "Am I so bored?" ”
"Don't get angry with your eldest sister!" Qi Guanmei couldn't help but pull Su Jingxing's arm: "I know if she doesn't say it!" ”
