Chapter 123: A Big Lie
"Excuse me!" Su Jingxing rubbed his temples with a little headache: "I've been a little busy lately, so I forgot." β
Qi Guanmei looked at her son with a smile: "It's okay, have you recovered from your cold in the past two days?" I heard that you had a cold the other day and have been recuperating at home. β
"yes, alright." Su Jingxing nodded: "I will go home on time in the evening." β
"Let's go shopping together!" Qi Guanmei said in a sour tone: "Count it up, you haven't been with me for a long time, and it's just time to get off work anyway." β
Hearing this, Su Jingxing looked at the time, and it was indeed a few minutes before he got off work.
Thinking about it, it has been a long time since he has accompanied Qi Guanmei, since he was opposed by his mother when he was with Meng Zhuyao, he slowly didn't like to go home very much.
Every time he met his mother, he had to talk about it as a clichΓ©, and his ears were calloused.
"Okay."
Hearing that her son agreed, Qi Guanmei was very happy: "Let's go, you haven't gone shopping with me for a long time, the last time you went shopping with me, it was when you were in elementary school!" β
Su Jingxing was cold when he was a child, and he would never do such a thing as shopping.
The last time I went shopping, I was in the first grade of elementary school, and I had to grab something with Su Jinlan before I was forcibly dragged to go shopping.
Qi Guanmei took Su Jingxing to a men's clothing store and selected several suits for him, he didn't want to sweep away his mother's interest, so he had to try them one by one obediently.
The last black tuxedo, Qi Guanmei was very satisfied, so she said directly: "Just wear this, let everyone see how handsome my son is at night!" β
"Everyone?" Su Jingxing had a trace of doubt: "Isn't it only people in the family?" β
Qi Guanmei's eyes flashed with a hint of unnaturalness: "After all, it's a wedding anniversary, so I made it a little bigger this year and invited some relatives and friends." β
The meaning of these words was different in Su Jingxing's ears, but he was not sure, so he didn't ask.
"Almost, I'll get down and drive first, and you'll wait for me at the door."
Qi Guanmei nodded happily: "Okay." β
After arriving at the underground garage, Su Jingxing made a call to Su Jinlan.
"Looking for me?" Su Jinlan was busy in the company for a meeting, and when she saw Su Jingxing's phone, she still connected.
Recently, she doesn't really want to contact the people of the Su family, but this younger brother, their relationship is still very good.
Su Jingxing paused, and said lightly: "Tonight's parents' wedding anniversary, will you go back?" β
"Wedding anniversary?" Su Jinlan was slightly stunned, she remembered that her parents seemed to call her a few days ago and asked her to go home today: "Look, the company is a little busy today." β
"Hmm." Su Jingxing said: "If you don't want to come back, you won't come!" β
Su Jinlan heard the words and said: "Why don't you go back, won't there be anyone to block her if I don't go back?" β
The 'she' in Su Jinlan's mouth, Su Jingxing naturally knew who it was, but this incident was too dramatic.
"Sister......" Su Jingxing rarely called her like this: "If you are unhappy, just say it." β
"I'm not happy about anything." Speaking of this, Su Jinlan's tone suddenly became less sharp: "Xiaojing, it's you who have always taken care of my feelings." β
Su Jinlan's eyes darkened: "We are sisters and brothers, do you want me to pick you up at that moment?" β
"Okay!" Su Jinlan looked at the work at hand: "Half an hour, see you downstairs in the company." β
"Okay."
After driving to the door to pick up Qi Guanmei, Su Jingxing turned around and drove towards Su's, and it took about half an hour from the department store to Su's.
"This ......" Qi Guanmei looked at the route a little wrong: "It's not the way home!" β
Su Jingxing said lightly: "By the way, I will pick up Su Jinlan." β
"Oh." Hearing Su Jinlan's name, Qi Guanmei's face was a little solemn, and she spoke after a long time: "Has Jinlan been in contact with you recently?" β
"If you want to know about her, you can go to her yourself." Su Jingxing said coldly.
Five years ago, since he knew about this matter, he had been asking his mother and Su Jinlan to confess, but his mother had always looked ahead.
In the end, Su Jinlan herself inadvertently knew about this, she is a very good and strong person, and she has been decadent for a long time after knowing it.
She doesn't go home much now, and the impact of this incident on her is too great.
Qi Guanmei sighed: "Jinlan can't accept this matter, Liluo is about to return to China, I really don't know how to deal with this matter." β
"I told you at the beginning, take the initiative to talk to Su Jinlan about this matter, she may understand and accept it." Su Jingxing said.
This matter is a medical malpractice, Su Jinlan is not a person without brains, even if she is sad, five years is enough to digest it.
But the difference between active and passive is different.
"I ......" Qi Guanmei knew that she didn't think about this matter, but she didn't want to make Su Jinlan sad at that time, who would have thought that this matter would be known by Su Jinlan herself!
Su Jingxing didn't speak again, and when she received Su Jinlan at the door of the Su family, her face changed as soon as she opened the door and saw Qi Guanmei.
But she still got into the car immediately, Qi Guanmei took the initiative to greet her, Su Jinlan just nodded, and along the way, the two of them didn't say a word.
After arriving at the Su family's old mansion, Su Jinlan went back to the room directly. Su Jingxing noticed that the manor of the old mansion had been dressed up, and it seemed that this time Qi Guanmei had done a very grand job.
"Son, the dinner is seven o'clock, why don't you go back to your room and rest for a while, and I'll have someone call you when it starts."
Su Jingxing nodded and went upstairs to Su Jinlan's room.
"Has Su Li fallen?" Su Jinlan saw Su Jingxing coming in, and asked angrily.
As soon as she got out of the car, she ran back to the room, just because she was afraid that she would run into Su Liluo, and she was afraid that she would not be able to control her temper.
"Nope." Su Jingxing responded: "By the way, has Yaoyao contacted you in the past two days?" β
Su Jinlan also looked guilty when she mentioned Meng Zhuyao: "Yes, but I've been so anxious recently that I forgot to pay attention to her." She was suspended by Meng Yuzhou. β
"Suspension?" Su Jingxing had some surprises: "Isn't Meng Yuzhou the vice president?" β
"It's done directly by the board." Su Jinlan said: "She is at home for the past two days, the board of directors has suspended her for half a month, and it is estimated that she should go back to work in the company in the next two days." β
"Yaoyao hasn't contacted me lately." Su Jingxing looked sad: "Just half a month ago, I suddenly blocked my phone, and I didn't reply to WeChat." β
Su Jinlan was surprised: "Half a month ago? Nothing seems to have happened? β
"So I'm also distressed." Su Jingxing said: "I was sick a few days ago, and she actually called Fang Erya to take care of me. β
Hearing this, Su Jinlan was even more surprised.
As a bystander, she saw very clearly that Meng Zhuyao had Su Jingxing in her heart, but why did she let Fang Erya take care of Su Jingxing even when she was sick?
This is not quite in line with Meng Zhuyao's consistent style!
"Did Fang Erya do something?"
Su Jingxing frowned slightly: "But I looked at the call record, it was indeed Yaoyao who called her, and Ding Lei went to look for her, but she also refused to come to see me." β
"Did you ask Yaoyao face to face?"
"Nope." Su Jingxing shook his head, he didn't dare to go to Meng Zhuyao.
Because of fear.
He was afraid that when he was looking for Meng Zhuyao, what she said was too heart-wrenching and he couldn't accept it.
I was afraid that Meng Zhuyao would alienate him for other reasons, and I was most afraid that Meng Zhuyao would say that she didn't love it anymore and didn't like it.
Obviously, he could feel her feelings for herself, but she kept being like a separation, so he didn't have a sense of security.
"Let's talk to Yaoyao when you have time!"
"Hmm." Su Jingxing also felt that he couldn't sit still like this, "It's almost time, let's go down!" β
Su Jinlan nodded, only then did she realize that Su Jingxing was wearing a formal suit: "Why are you dressed so formally today?" β
"Mom just went shopping and bought it, she invited a lot of people tonight, and I didn't bother to change it."
"Then I'll change my clothes." Su Jinlan looked at her professional clothes, "You go down first!" β
β¦β¦
Fang Erya came to the Su family's old mansion early, and Qi Guanmei arranged a separate room for her as a dressing room.
The makeup artist was brought by Fang Erya herself, and she was accompanied by her sister Fang Mengya.
Seeing Fang Mengya coming in from outside, Fang Erya asked, "Is Brother Jing here?" β
"Here, Aunt Mei came back with her and Cousin Jinlan just now." Fang Mengya sat down beside her sister, looking like she wanted to speak and stopped.
"What's wrong?"
Fang Mengya looked like she didn't know what to say, but she still stubbornly spoke: "Sister, this is a big lie, what if Su Jingxing knows about it and he refuses on the spot?" β
"He can't refuse." Fang Erya's eyes were full of ruthlessness: "This engagement was arranged by Aunt Mei, if he refused, Aunt Mei would be the first to disagree." β
"But after all, this is a lifetime event."
"It's because it's a big event, so you need to choose a better person who is more suitable for you." Fang Erya mentioned Su Jingxing, and her eyes were full of admiration: "Mengya, you are still young, when you grow up and meet the person you like, you will understand." β
Fang Erya said weakly when she heard this: "Sister, but I heard that Su Jingxing has a person I like very much......
"Nonsense." Fang Erya snapped when she heard the words and lined up on the dressing table in front of her: "He can only marry me, and Aunt Mei's daughter-in-law is only me." β
When the makeup artist next to him heard this, he immediately echoed: "Yaya is so beautiful, Su Jingxing will definitely find Yaya good after getting engaged, and he will fall in love with Yaya when the time comes." Mengmeng, don't talk nonsense. β
"Sister, I'll just say it casually, don't be angry." Fang Mengya was still very scared when she saw her sister angry, "When I get engaged, Su Jingxing will be my brother-in-law, and I will definitely like you." β
Hearing this, Fang Erya's face softened slightly, but the gloom between her eyebrows still did not dissipate: "Mengmeng, do you go out to see if your parents are here?" β
"Okay." Fang Mengya nodded and went out.
