Chapter 82: We have known each other for a long time
Santa Fe Modern City Liujia Villa Restaurant.
"Liu Cen, when we go to Tang's house for dinner on the weekend, do you really want to bring Qingyi with you? But I'm worried about her ......" Jiang Hongxia put down the dishes and chopsticks in her hand, looked at her husband who was still eating lunch with a flat face on the side, and couldn't help but ask. When she first heard that Liu Cen suddenly decided to take Qingyi to Tang's house with her, Jiang Hongxia was a little curious at first, but then this curiosity was replaced by worry. If it was just Liu Cen who went alone, Qingyi might be willing to accompany her, but this time she would also go herself, and she was worried that Qingyi would refuse because of herself.
"It's okay, you're thinking too much. This is just a gathering of two old classmates, of course, the whole family has to arrive, Tang Hao kindly invited Qingyi, how can I not take her there? Hearing the worry in Jiang Hongxia's words, Liu Cen also slowly stopped, raised his head and looked at Jiang Hongxia to convince him.
"I know, but what if Qingyi doesn't want to go?"
"Don't worry, Qingyi will go." Liu Cen's face was filled with an inexplicable confident smile, which made Jiang Hongxia slightly stunned, "Why are you so sure?" ”
"Well, I'll keep it a secret first, and you'll know when the time comes. Don't worry about these things for now, take a break after eating and then go back to the company, don't be too tired. Liu Cen finished with a smile, and then looked at his wife with concern.
"I know." Jiang Hongxia saw that Liu Cen was reluctant to speak, so she could only smile back, and turned around and continued to eat her own food.
Liu Cen withdrew his gaze from Jiang Hongxia, the corners of his lips lifted slightly, but his thoughts returned to the call from Tang Hao he received at school this morning-
Liu Cen sat in the president's office and looked at the documents and materials visited by the neighboring alumni, frowning slightly, holding a teacup in his left hand and taking a sip from time to time, which was his usual way of working and reading.
"Toot-" At this time, the mobile phone in the bag next to Liu Cen's table suddenly rang.
Liu Cen slowly put down the teacup in his hand, and then picked up the phone and didn't see that the caller ID was directly connected, which was another habit he developed due to his busy work.
"Hey, is it Liucen? I have something to ask you. On the other end of the phone, Tang Hao's voice was slightly surprised and hesitant.
Hearing the surprise in Tang Hao's voice, Liu Cen also lifted the corners of his mouth, smiled and asked, "What's the matter?" You ask. ”
"Your daughter, is her name Liu Qingyi? I heard you mention it once during that meeting, and I don't remember it clearly. Tang Hao's tone was a little embarrassed when he said this, it seemed a little rude to take the initiative to ask someone's daughter's name like this, but he had to prove something.
"Yes, what's wrong Tang Hao, why did you remember to ask this suddenly." Liu Cen frowned and nodded slightly, and he was slightly puzzled in his heart.
When Liu Cen's confirmation came into his ears, Tang Hao seemed to be excited all of a sudden, and then said to Liu Cen on the other end of the phone with an incredible expression: "Liu Cen, do you know, my daughter Yating is a sophomore at your Santa Fe Eton College, and she told me that she met a new friend named Liu Qingyi in the college, and the relationship is very good......
"Is it such a coincidence?" Hearing this, Liu Cen was also shocked, and immediately turned into joy, and said bluntly to Tang Hao, "Since our two daughters have already met in advance, that's good, but it saves us as fathers to introduce each other." ”
"Hey Liucen, why don't you bring your daughter along on the weekend, let the two little girls get together outside the school, and surprise them by the way." Tang Hao said that he couldn't close his mouth with a smile on his face at this point, and hurriedly reminded Liu Cen, "Eh, don't tell your daughter first!" ”
"Okay, I'll cooperate with you to surprise them." Liu Cen replied angrily at Tang Hao.
Seeing that Liu Cen agreed to cooperate, Tang Hao also said goodbye with satisfaction, so he chose not to talk more and hung up the phone directly, after all, he knew that Liu Cen should be very busy with work, and it was inconvenient for him to bother more.
After Tang Hao hung up the phone, Liu Cen still returned to his previous state of working while drinking tea, but there was a subtle smile on his lips than just now: "If Qingyi also goes, I just don't know what kind of attitude Hongxia will have; It seems that when I get home at noon, I will have to talk to her about it......"
"Hey Liucen, what are you thinking, you've been stunned for a long time, don't you have to go back to school at three o'clock after eating?" When Liu Cen recalled the phone call in the morning, Jiang Hongxia, who had seen her husband distracted for a long time, finally couldn't help but remind curiously.
"Uh, hehe, it's okay, I'm eating, come." Liu Cen was slightly stunned, came back to his senses and smiled slightly embarrassed at his wife, and then hurriedly picked up a dish from the table and put it in Jiang Hongxia's bowl, wanting to hide his distraction just now.
"No, are you hiding something from me?" Jiang Hongxia can become the president of a company, and her ability to observe words and emotions is naturally not weak, after seeing Liu Cen's expression that suddenly became surprised and hesitant, she couldn't help but smile, and then she could only circle the field quite carelessly, "Forget it, you don't want to say that of course I won't force me to ask, I'm done eating, go upstairs to tidy up my things first." ”
"Eh, let me help you, I just happen to go back to my room to rest for a while." Seeing that his wife had no difficulty getting up and going upstairs for herself, Liu Cen hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks in her hand, and called to the kitchen, "Sister-in-law Mei, wait a while to clean up the dining table", and then followed the second floor.
As the afternoon class approached, Tang Yating chose to rush directly to the classroom of the afternoon class after walking out of the library. On the way, Tang Yating also took the time to make a call home, but surprisingly no one answered. This made the doubts in her heart gradually turn into worry, "Nothing should happen, maybe my parents are too busy with work recently so they are not at home...... Oh, forget it, I'll go home and have a look after school this afternoon. ”
After such a decision, Tang Yating also let herself stop thinking about things at home for the time being, and put her mind on this afternoon's class, she had to think about how not to be teased by that alien creature again.
However, to Tang Yating's surprise, Nalan Yunxiao did not appear in the classroom until the afternoon when class was about to start, and after asking a classmate sitting next to her, Tang Yating learned that Yunxiao had asked the head teacher for half a day off at noon, saying that she had something very important and left the school early.
"What's going to happen to that guy? Hmph, I think I pretended to ask for leave because I wanted to skip class and didn't dare, right? Tang Yating smiled back at the girl with great disdain, but the girl who was originally kind to her began to ignore her.
Seeing this situation happen again and again, Tang Yating also felt quite depressed in her heart, could it be that all the girls in this school are so obsessed with Nalan Yunxiao, what is so good about that guy?
Tang Yating's eyes swept over the faces of all the students in the classroom with complaints, and when she looked for Zhou Ziqi's eyes that were also looking at her, her face was red, and she didn't dare to look at the latter, so she hurriedly turned her head back, biting her lower lip lightly, and just buried her head in preparing for the upcoming lesson, wanting to eliminate the guilt in her heart about being angry at Zhou Ziqi at noon because of her displeasure.
Seeing that Tang Yating turned her head in embarrassment as soon as she saw herself, Zhou Ziqi could only shake his head helplessly and smile, and immediately stopped looking at her, and retracted his gaze and began to preview the course like Tang Yating.
When classes began at Santa Fe Eton College, in the classroom of the business school, Liu Qingyi was still studying seriously, and in order not to be disturbed by others, she chose to turn off her mobile phone, so Mo Qingfeng's call just now did not come in.
In the quiet study room, only the sound of Liu Qingyi turning the book can be heard at this moment, and after such a single sound lasted for a long time, it was covered by a steady footsteps, and then a girl in a purple skirt appeared in front of the door of the study room, and then walked slowly towards Liu Qingyi, who was still looking down at the moment.
"It's serious, no wonder I can get the first place in every subject." Until the girl in the purple dress walked in front of Liu Qingyi, the latter still didn't look up at her, the girl frowned slightly and looked a little unhappy, but her words were still quite flat.
Hearing this familiar voice, Liu Qingyi also frowned slightly, and immediately raised her head to look at the girl, and said in a soft tone: "Is there something wrong, classmate Fang Ziyin?" ”
"Liu Qingyi, are you sure you are going to go to the hospital with Mo Qingyu today to see Qingfeng? His mother's attitude towards you, don't you know, aren't you afraid, she will kick you out again? The corners of Fang Ziyin's lips lifted slightly, but the expression on her face no longer had the smug look of the morning, because she knew that with this alone, she still couldn't compete with Liu Qingyi.
"Auntie is just, she just has a misunderstanding about me, I believe that as long as I know the reason, I can resolve it." Liu Qingyi finished speaking with a confident expression, and then confessed to Fang Ziyin with a slight hint of pleading in her eyes, "Fang Ziyin, I won't compete with you." If you really like him, you can pursue him with your own sincerity and move him, and you don't need to treat me as your rival. We're classmates, and I don't expect you to be friends with me, but there's no need to make the relationship so stiff, right? ”
Hearing Liu Qingyi's words, which didn't look like a play, Fang Ziyin's frowning brows were slightly relaxed, but then she spoke in a solemn tone: "Do you think I will believe your words?" Liu Qingyi, if you want to prove that what you said is true, then do you dare to promise me that I will never have anything to do with Qingfeng in the future? ”
