Chapter 203: Mutual Blame
The young man followed behind him and bowed slightly, "My father is in good health, but I miss you more." ”
"Worried?" The president repeated in surprise, "I heard that your sister came with you this time?" ”
"Well," the young man was reluctant to talk too much about personal matters, and he changed the subject, "I heard that the young master is hospitalized?" ”
"What young master! It's just a muddy boy! The president replied lightly, "I fell off during the training of the army, and I am still in the hospital!" ”
The president's tone didn't look like he was talking about his own son at all, it seemed like he was talking about an unrelated stranger, and the young man seemed to be accustomed to their relationship, and he also said lightly, "Jiren Tianxiang." ”
"Haha," the president laughed happily, "Your father is blessed to have a son like you!" ”
The young man modestly said, "Where, where." ”
The two of them walked and stopped, and before they knew it, they had walked around the garden to the door of the study, and the president paused, then turned back and said, "Come, taste the tea I made." ”
The young man's expression stiffened for a moment, he didn't come to taste tea, and the tea made by the president was not good.
But when the president spoke, he had to drink it.
A few new pots of splendid chrysanthemums bloomed in the president's living room, adding a touch of nature to the cold room.
He sat across from the young man, holding the teapot in one hand and pressing the lid with the other, and the steaming water left from the spout into the sea of tea. The fragrance of tea slowly floated up along the gap in the sea of tea, and the wisps of fragrance lingered on the tips of the noses of the two.
The young man sniffed lightly, and even if he was uncomfortable sitting here, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Good tea!" ”
The corners of the president's mouth rose up, he reached out and poured hot water into the teapot, and said, "Very few young people can sit down and have a good cup of tea now, and you still have to be a little patient, don't you think?" ”
The young man pretended not to understand, and only said, "Well, it does take some time to drink some good tea." ”
"Hmm." The president put away the smile on his face, he placed the cup in front of the young man, poured a cup of tea, raised his chin and said, "Taste it." ”
The young man picked up the teacup, sniffed it at the end of his nose, and then took a sip. He put down the teacup, and the fragrance of tea still remained on the tip of his tongue, "First bitter and then sweet, and the aftertaste is endless." ”
"Hmm", the president put down the teapot and did not mean to pour himself tea.
"That little daughter of the Chu family, do you know it?"
The young man's eyes flashed suddenly, and he hid the gleam by lowering his head and holding the teacup. If the president can ask such a question, he must have investigated it in advance, and he can only follow along and see what awaits him later.
"Well, old alumni, not very familiar."
The only time he had been up close to that elf-like girl, although it had paid a terrible price for it, he felt that it was worth it.
Those shining eyes lingered in his heart, and he tried his best, but he couldn't get to her.
"They have a lot of sons, but they only have one daughter, who is pampered and lives a casual life."
The young man's eyes darkened, and he could hear the meaning of the president's words. It seems that my father's explanation is really right, when talking to a person like the president, you must be vigilant at all times, and you will be bypassed by him if you are not careful.
He didn't know how to answer, so he simply blocked it with the action of drinking water.
The president continued to himself, "I haven't seen Ziqing for a long time, and I miss her." Zikun, how long are you going to stay in Nancheng this time? ”
Xue Zikun's heart jumped when the president mentioned Xue Ziqing, and he knew that the president would definitely not let go of anyone who could take advantage of him.
"I came in a hurry this time, and my father asked me to say hello to you, and then we were ready to go back."
He never mentioned Xue Ziqing, and he couldn't let the only girl in the family get involved in this bottomless mutual calculation.
The president turned a deaf ear to Xue Zikun's careful thoughts, and continued, "The second son of the Chu family is also in City A, your family's business, do you have business dealings with him?" ”
Xue Zikun has a splitting headache, what should he say so that the president does not focus on Xue Ziqing?
But when he was leaving, his father told him in front of him, saying that he must not offend the president, otherwise he would definitely not set foot in the presidential palace.
The president kept revolving around their relationship, and simply answered him head-on, to see what was waiting for him.
"Things are changing rapidly in the mall, and it's rare to have one or two opportunities to work together between us."
Xue Zikun's words only stayed on the surface, and nothing was revealed about how they cooperated with each other.
"If Ziqing likes it, the marriage is not bad."
The president's words successfully made Xue Zikun's face change, knowing that he was out of shape, he hurriedly hid his uncomfortable expression and said, "My sister is just looking for blood for a while, and after a few days, she will lose her energy, so she naturally doesn't like it." ”
What Xue Zikun said was very contrary to his intentions, Xue Ziqing was not curious at all, and he really liked it. If the president didn't mention it today, he would be happy that Xue Ziqing would continue to blatantly pursue Chu Tianqi, but since he was targeted by the president, he couldn't do anything for the time being, and leaving Nancheng as soon as possible was the best way.
The more the president mentioned Xue Ziqing, the more worried Xue Zikun became.
He secretly wanted to get rid of the relationship between Xue Ziqing and the Chu family, their family was already inseparable from the president, and it could be regarded as protecting the Xue family if he could involve one less person.
"In that case, it's inconvenient to force it."
The president's face turned cold with his voice, and he seemed to lose the nature of continuing the conversation, and took a sip after he had reached a cup of tea.
Xue Zikun saw the meaning clearly, and he suddenly said, "I have been out for a long time and can't find other people's sisters, so I will inevitably be anxious, if there is nothing else, I will go back first." ”
"Oh," said the president, putting down his teacup and standing up, "then we'll talk again next time, and I won't waste you time today." ”
Xue Zikun then stood up, "Then I'll go first." With that, he turned to leave.
The president escorted him out of the parlor, stood at the door, and said, "When you go back, you must say hello to your father for me." If you come to Nancheng in the future, remember to come and talk to me, after being alone for a long time, you will inevitably feel lonely. ”
"Okay, I remember." After Xue Zikun finished speaking, he hurriedly turned around and walked along the garden.
The president stood on the steps of the doorway, his eyes following his back as he shuttled among the flowers. He stared at it for a long time, and finally retracted his gaze, "Four or two thousand pounds, I'm afraid I haven't learned the essence yet." ”
