Chapter 26: The Chu Family's Misunderstanding
The courtyard of the Chu family.
"Shihui, Zhou He, it's time to eat." The villa echoed with Zhang Cuihua's cry.
Chu Shihui and Zhou He, who were chatting upstairs, were stunned, and two pairs of suspicious eyes looked at each other.
"Did you just hear that my mom seems to be calling you to dinner?" Chu Shihui's eyes widened and she asked in disbelief.
Zhou He was also a little surprised, and nodded slightly.
"Shihui, Zhou He, it's time to eat." At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Zhang Cuihua's voice was getting closer and closer.
"Hey, Mom, let's come down now." Chu Shihui hurriedly responded, and then asked in a low voice, "What's going on?" ”
Zhou He smiled bitterly and shrugged his shoulders to indicate that he didn't know.
Chu Shihui simply cleaned up and went downstairs with Zhou He.
In the restaurant, Chu Hongpeng's family of three had already sat at the table, but unlike before, they didn't move, obviously waiting for Chu Shihui and Zhou He.
Seeing this, Zhou He and Chu Shihui couldn't help but secretly glance at each other again, not knowing what happened to their parents, weird.
The lunch was very hearty, and a bottle of high-end red wine was specially prepared.
Chu Shihui remembered that this bottle of red wine was given to her father by a business partner a long time ago, and her father was reluctant to drink it if he had obtained a treasure, and he didn't expect it to be on the table today.
This undoubtedly made Chu Shihui's heart a little more surprised and confused.
"I'll be waiting for you." Chu Hongpeng smiled: "Happy today, let's have a few drinks." ”
Chu Shihui and Zhou He looked at each other, and Chu Hongpeng and his wife suddenly became so enthusiastic that they were a little overwhelmed for a while.
"What are you doing standing stupidly, sitting." Zhang Cuihua, who came over with a few goblets in her hand, reminded with a smile.
Chu Shihui called Zhou He, and the two came to the table and sat down.
Chu Shiyu, who was sitting opposite, looked at Chu Shihui and Zhou He, obviously still angry about what happened just now.
Chu Hongpeng pulled off the cork and poured some red wine into the goblets in front of him, and Zhang Cuihua helped hand the poured wine glasses to Zhou He and them.
"Before we eat, let's have a toast." Chu Hongpeng picked up the wine glass in front of him and proposed: "For the sake of this land, everyone has worked hard during this time, especially Shihui, who has contributed a lot. ”
"Dad, don't say that, these are what I should do." Chu Shihui said.
"What do you mean, Dad knows, Mom and Dad are proud to have a good daughter like you." Chu Hongpeng smiled with relief on his face: "Come, let's toast." ”
"Cheers."
In a burst of cheers, the wine glasses in everyone's hands touched slightly.
Zhou He was a little hesitant at first, but he didn't expect Chu Hongpeng and his wife to take the initiative to touch the cup.
Seeing this, Chu Shihui couldn't help but show a knowing smile on her face, she had been looking forward to this day for a long time.
"Zhou He, this is the sweet and sour pork ribs I made, how about tasting it?" Putting down the wine glass, under Chu Hongpeng's hint, Zhang Cuihua hurriedly picked up a large piece of pork ribs and put it in Zhou He's bowl.
Zhou He was stunned!
In the past, their Chu family would rather feed meat to dogs than give him food, but what happened to them today? It's so unusual!
In fact, not only Zhou He, but Chu Shihui and Chu Shiyu were also stunned!
"Mom, you're not mistaken, are you?" Chu Shiyu, who has always been straightforward and fast-talking, shouted with wide eyes.
In fact, from just now, Chu Shiyu also found that her parents' performance was very abnormal.
It stands to reason that their parents have always hated Zhou He, especially their mother, who is always thinking about driving Zhou He out of their Chu family.
But today they didn't know what was wrong, and instead of showing the slightest disgust for Zhou He, they took the initiative to pour wine and vegetables, and even made people feel that their parents were intent on currying favor with this waste.
"Silly girl, what are you talking nonsense?" Zhang Cuihua smiled and said, "We are a family, isn't it right to live in harmony?" ”
"Okay, Shiyu, eat quickly." Chu Shiyu was about to speak, but was stopped by Chu Hongpeng: "After eating, we have to go to the company, and suddenly get this land, we have a lot of things to do." ”
Seeing that his father kept making eyes, Chu Shiyu had no choice but to calm down.
In the past three years, it was the first time that Zhou He had finished a meal in such a harmonious atmosphere.
After lunch, the Chu Shihui sisters helped Zhang Cuihua quickly clean up the tableware, and then the family hurriedly went out, and even Zhang Cuihua, who had never asked about things in the company, also went out, which showed the importance of this land to their Chu family.
Zhou He didn't like to get involved in this kind of thing, so he simply stayed at home and watched TV alone.
Ten minutes later, Chu Shihui drove to the underground parking lot of Chu's Group.
The family got out of the car and entered the elevator with a smile and a smile.
It was Chu Shiyu who kept her face tight, but the Chu family's whole mind was on that piece of ground, and no one cared about her at all.
Walking out of the elevator, Chu Shihui said hello to her parents, and prepared to go back to the office to prepare, and then attend the meeting.
Chu Shihui's office is not too big, but it is clean and tidy, and there are some potted plants in the corner.
Pushing open the door of the office, Chu Shihui was surprised to see the back of a well-dressed young man sitting in her place.
Chu Shihui immediately frowned and looked at this man vigilantly.
However, looking at this man's back, Chu Shihui had a sense of déjà vu.
"I haven't seen you for ten years, do you remember me?" Hearing the footsteps, the man stood up and looked at Chu Shihui with a smile.
Chu Shihui saw the other party's face clearly at this time, and she was very handsome.
"Are you...... Are you Brother Jie? Chu Shihui asked excitedly.
"It's okay, I haven't seen you for so many years, you still remember me." Lu Zhijie opened his arms and took the initiative to hug Chu Shihui.
Chu Shihui's cheeks flushed, and she quickly pushed Lu Zhijie away: "Aren't you abroad?" Why did you come back all of a sudden? ”
"My home is here, and there are people here that I can't let go, can I not come back?" Lu Zhijie smiled and asked, "How is it, are you happy to see me come back?" ”
Chu Shihui nodded and complained, "But you should say hello before you come back, so that I can prepare." ”
"Don't be angry, I'm here to surprise you." Lu Zhijie comforted.
"You're a big surprise." Chu Shihui smiled: "I can't bear it a little. ”
Lu Zhijie laughed a few times, and Chu Shihui came to the sofa to sit down and chat, talking about childhood anecdotes, and laughing from time to time.
"Shihui, are you ready?" At this time, Chu Hongpeng's family of three pushed open the door and walked in.
Seeing Lu Zhijie sitting next to Chu Shihui, Chu Hongpeng and the three of them were stunned and looked at each other.
Like Chu Shihui, Chu Hongpeng has a sense of déjà vu with Lu Zhijie.
"Uncle and aunt, and little sister Shiyu, I haven't seen you for a long time." Lu Zhijie took the initiative to get up and say hello.
"You're Zhijie, right?" Zhang Cuihua showed surprise on her face and hurried to greet her.
"It's me, Auntie." Lu Zhijie smiled and nodded.
"It's really you!" Zhang Cuihua was very happy: "I haven't seen you for so many years, and I have grown into a handsome guy." ”
"When did you come back?" Chu Hongpeng and Chu Shiyu walked over and asked with concern.
"It's been a while since I've been back." Lu Zhijie said.
"You kid is really, you haven't been in contact with us for so long." Zhang Cuihua fell down the road.
"I'm really sorry, uncle and aunt, I really can't take a break from something, and I've only been busy recently." Lu Zhijie explained: "However, congratulations to my uncle and aunt for getting the land as you wished." ”
That piece of land?
Chu Hongpeng and Zhang Cuihua's faces were shocked, and they secretly glanced at each other, as if they were conveying some news.
"Do you know that our Chu Group just got a piece of land?" Under Zhang Cuihua's hint, Chu Hongpeng asked quietly.
"I don't just know that in order to help Shihui, I have spent a lot of thought recently, but fortunately, your Chu Group finally got this land, and my hard work was not in vain." Lu Zhijie said with a smile.
Chu Shihui frowned and looked at Lu Zhijie, and said with doubts, their Chu Group was able to get this land, all thanks to Zhou He, what does it have to do with Lu Zhijie?
"I see, thank you so much." Chu Shihui was about to speak, but she was interrupted by her mother: "By the way, Zhijie, are you going to leave this time?" ”
"I'm not leaving." Lu Zhijie replied.
"That's great, do you have a job you want?" Zhang Cuihua's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked, "Do you want Auntie to introduce you?" ”
"Thank you Auntie for your kindness, but I've already found a job." Lu Zhijie said: "I just reported to Qianghe Group a few days ago, and I am currently serving as the company's sales manager. ”
"The sales manager of the Qianghe Group?" Zhang Cuihua was taken aback and said excitedly: "Qianghe Group is one of the largest companies in Lianhuai City, Zhijie, you are amazing." ”
"Yes, Zhijie, since I was a child, I thought that you would definitely have a future in the future, and I didn't look away." Chu Hongpeng followed with approval.
"Uncle and aunt are serious." Lu Zhijie touched the back of his head embarrassedly.
Lu Zhijie's sudden return made the Chu family happy.
If it weren't for the assistant coming over to urge the meeting, they would have been chatting in the dark.
The Chu Shihui sisters accompanied Lu Zhijie to leave the office with a smile, and Chu Hongpeng and his wife deliberately slowed down.
"It turns out that our Chu Group was able to get this land, all thanks to Shijie." Chu Hongpeng looked angry, gritted his teeth and said, "I naively thought that it was the waste at home who helped us." ”
"Who said no, it was a waste of my busy lunch, and I was kind enough to make ribs for him to eat, I knew it was like this, so I might as well feed it to the dog." Zhang Cuihua was also so angry.
"Hmph, when we go back, we must not let go of this waste easily." Chu Hongpeng said angrily.
