Chapter 125: Believe It for the Time Being (1st Update)
"Didn't you say absolutely foolproof?" Also angry is Charlene, where did she think that Chen Xi would be indifferent after seeing the photo!
From this point of view, if he didn't care about Su Xiaoran at all, he would have 100% trust in her. But is there really 100% trust between people?
Ji Ren closed his eyes, and his voice was low and suppressed: "I'll solve it." β
"Resolved? Mr. Ji, don't forget the agreement between us, I don't have that much time to play with you! β
Ji Ren gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound, and after a while, he got out of the car, and looked up at the room where the lights had been turned off, his eyes were sad.
β¦β¦
The next day, Su Xiaoran got up and found that Chenxi had already packed up her things, she felt embarrassed that she had slept again, so she sat at the head of the bed and looked at the busy Chenxi lazily.
"Go brush your teeth and wash your face, I've already bought my ticket."
Chen Xi walked up to her and handed her a cup of hot water, Su Xiaoran looked at him, remembering what happened last night, and couldn't help blushing.
Well, she's defeated again.
Drinking Chenxi's hot water, and then being dragged to the bathroom by him, brushing his teeth and washing his face, looking at Chenxi's figure in the mirror, Su Xiaoran couldn't help laughing, "You are a bit like my mother." β
"Then listen to your mother."
Su Xiaoran snorted and laughed, almost choking on the mouthwash in her mouth. While she was shaking her body and laughing wildly, Chen Xi took the opportunity to hug her from behind: "It's to be more managed, your temper has grown a lot recently." β
After packing everything up, Su Xiaoran remembered that Ji Ren's ID card was still with her, that is, she had to meet Ji Ren before going back.
Su Xiaoran looked at Chenxi and was embarrassed.
Chenxi guessed her concerns and put Ji Ren's ID card in her hand: "Call him to the hotel lobby!" β
"You...... How could he have his ID? β
"I changed back last night."
What a light and breezy tone, from last night to now, Chen Xi has never tested a word, as if it is understandable for Su Xiaoran and Ji Ren to meet alone.
An inexplicable warmth rose in his heart, and Su Xiaoran called Ji Ren and made an appointment with him in the hotel lobby.
Half an hour later, Chenxi had successfully checked out, so he held his luggage and sat in the corner of the lobby, a little far away from Su Xiaoran, but it was always within sight.
Ji Ren appeared, Su Xiaoran immediately stood up, as soon as Ji Ren saw Su Xiaoran, especially when he saw Su Xiaoran alone, the happy expression on his face could not be hidden.
"I came over as soon as I answered your call, why did you go back so quickly? Stay a few more days, I haven't taken you around yet! β
"Kihito. Thank you. Su Xiaoran handed over the ID card, and Ji Ren's smiling face changed a little, but the general outline remained the same.
"You're welcome."
Ji Ren took the ID card, and his voice was a little low.
"What time is the car? Why don't I drive you? β
"No need! We...... You can take a taxi. β
That sentence reminded Ji Ren of the existence of Chenxi, he glanced at the lobby, only to find that Chenxi was not absent, he just sat far away, looking at them calmly.
Chenxi's actions and expressions made Ji Ren very hurt and angry. He seems to be silently declaring war on himself, saying that he has full confidence and confidence, and he, an ex-boyfriend with a special status, has become a ridiculous third party.
"Alright then, stay safe on the road, and see you soon."
Maybe it was to save his self-esteem, Ji Ren turned around and left quickly, Su Xiaoran looked at his back, this kind of Ji Ren made her feel a little sad, but it was just sad.
It turns out that no matter how good the relationship is, it will be worn out; It turns out that two people who once swore an alliance can also do without each other.
"Let's go!"
As soon as Ji Ren left, Chen Xi came to Su Xiaoran's side, Su Xiaoran got into the car with him at the door of the hotel, and took another look at this place before leaving, for her, this hotel has a special meaning, it was the beginning of her and Chen Xi, and it was also the end of her and Ji Ren again.
The reason why it is said to be another time is because Su Xiaoran rejected Ji Ren's request to get acquainted again, she didn't want to drag the mud and water, and she understood better that what had passed away had really passed.
The sky was still blue, with the occasional white cloud. Su Xiaoran likes such a quiet and cool autumn very much, which can calm her down for a while.
After going back, Su Xiaoran deliberately took Chenxi to her parents' house, although she didn't plan to push the relationship between the two forward, but since the last time she went to the company to make trouble, her mother has been talking about Chenxi recently, Su Xiaoran felt that this was an opportunity, she didn't expect her mother to suddenly like Chenxi, as long as she could resolve some misunderstandings, it was okay.
Father made a whole table of rich dishes, and as soon as Su Xiaoran and Chen Xi walked in, their father's eyes narrowed into a line, "You've only been there for a few days, and your mother thinks so much that she can't see you every day, and she says that she hasn't seen you for a long time." β
"It's only three days, but who knows how many three days I can spend with her? The female college is not staying, she was sticking to us when she was a child, and now we are sticking to others! β
Mother always sat and didn't look at them, her mouth was quite numb when she spoke, and when Su Xiaoran saw her like that, she knew that she was going to coax her. She winked at Chenxi and asked him to help his father pour the wine first, so Su Xiaoran sat next to her mother, took out the gift she bought, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, little old lady, who upset you again?" You name it, I'll hit her! β
"You're poor!" After all, her mother was reluctant to be really angry, and Su Xiaoran amused her with a word. Looking at her mother's recovered smiling face, Su Xiaoran couldn't help but sigh: Her temperament is probably inherited from her mother, right? Every time, no matter how angry he is, Chenxi can coax a few words.
Born not to hold grudges!
After Su's mother counted her daughter, she was finally willing to raise her eyes to look at her prospective son-in-law, "Xiaochen is also here, sit down, don't always stand." β
"Thank you, auntie." Chenxi sat down, looking a little restrained. Su Xiaoran knew that Chenxi was not very sociable, let alone dealing with such a difficult role as his mother?
Su Xiaoran got up, helped her father set up the dishes, and invited her mother into the dinner table, and the four of them sat together.
"I'm so happy, I've not eaten my father's cooking for a long time, I miss it so much!"
"You still know that we miss it, we deliberately sold the house in our hometown to follow you here, it's good for you, you can't see each other a few times a month."
"Mom, I know you like me, but don't be so obvious. Come on, eat fast tomatoes, beauty! β
Su Xiaoran has dealt with her parents for decades, and it can be said that she has a clear understanding of her parents' temperament, and she has learned some Laipi skills from Qiqi, and she knows how to make her mother happy more and more.
Father Su, like Chenxi, is silent and rarely spoken, if it weren't for a few glasses of white wine with Chenxi, he might not be able to speak.
Father Su looked at his happy daughter and felt a lot of emotion, so he poured another glass of wine, looked at Chenxi, and said: "You young people are in charge of your own affairs, I, as a father, just want my daughter to be happy, and now seeing Xiaoran's happy appearance, I am also content." β
"What are you content with?"
Su Mu immediately shook her face and kicked her wife under the table, her eyes were full of drama.
Chen Xi looked at Su Xiaoran and knew that he should stand up and say a word at this time, so he considered the words and said, "Uncle and aunt, don't worry, I am serious about Xiaoran." β
"Seriously? Oh, what are you talking about, what proof do you take? Xiaochen, I salute you, you are also Xiaoran's boss, I call you Chairman Chen, Chairman Chen, you have to see clearly, our family is an ordinary family, Xiaoran's father and I are both elementary school teachers, and we have no achievements in our lives. Our family Xiaoran, she is kind, simple, especially easy to trust others, in the eyes of our parents, she is naturally a baby, but to be honest, I think Xiaoran is not worthy of you, you are a successful person, there must be no shortage of admirers around you, I don't want my daughter to become the target of public criticism. β
"Mom, what are you talking about!" Su Xiaoran put down the dishes and chopsticks, not wanting to have a good dinner and be disturbed by her mother again. But Su's mother was still puzzled, and continued: "I guess you have also heard, not long ago our family was followed by unknown people, frankly speaking, this is the first time I have encountered such a life, and I am also very frightened, I think, all this is related to you, Chairman Chen, do you dare to say, this has nothing to do with your fiancΓ©e?" β
"Xiaoyan, she's not my fiancΓ©e." Chen Xi was in a hurry to argue, but Su Mu's eyes were majestic and unquestionable, and he knew that it was just unintentional to say more, so he looked at Su Xiaoran's eyes and stopped talking.
The atmosphere suddenly condensed, Father Su had always let his wife at home, and he only cared about drinking at this time, and he didn't plan to get involved, not to mention, he also thought that that incident had nothing to do with Qiao Xiaoyan.
"Auntie, I can only say a few words to you about this matter. One, Xiaoyan is not my fiancΓ©e, I only have a girlfriend Xiaoran; Second, those stalkers have nothing to do with Xiao Yan, as for who they are, I can't disclose it, but you can rest assured that they won't appear again; Three, I'm serious about Xiaoran. β
After Chen Xi finished speaking, she looked at Su Mu with a fixed gaze, Su Mu was a little stunned, her eyes kept on the table, as if she was looking at something, but her eyes were scattered, as if she was thinking.
"Mom, just believe us, I'm so old, I know what I do."
"In that case, I'll trust you for the time being. But you remember, I believe, doesn't mean I'm willing. In the future, if our family Su Xiaoran suffers any grievances, I will still settle accounts with you! β
