Chapter 542 - Not All the Way
Xu Chen got Su Mo's reply, looked at Su Mo carefully, felt a little relieved, and left the coffee shop. He sneaked out behind his father's back, and it would be too long before he would be discovered, so he could only hurry back to Ding Ning's hospital room.
Not long after Xu Chen left, Xu Lao, accompanied by a group of people, came to the café with great momentum.
"Hello Mr. Xu!" Su Mo had seen Xu Lao before, and bowed respectfully to Xu Lao.
"You know me?" Xu Lao didn't expect Su Mo to be able to see his identity at a glance, and he was a little surprised.
"Well, I've seen it at a banquet." Su Mo said respectfully, with an attitude that was neither humble nor arrogant.
"It seems that Miss Su has been thinking about our Xu family for a day or two, so she will be very attentive to me and our Chen'er." Xu Lao said meaningfully.
"It's heartfelt, after all, it's not the first day that Xu Chen and I have fallen in love, so it's inevitable that I will care about the affairs of the Xu family." Su Mo didn't care about the contempt in Old Xu's tone.
Xu Lao looked at the little girl in front of him for a while, and had to admit that Su Mo was indeed a good girl. looks very clean, and there are not a lot of calculations in her eyes, and as a girl with no background, it is very rare for her to sit like this without being humble or arrogant.
"Miss Su, you might as well prepare a cup of coffee for me, you can do it." Xu Lao looked at Su Mo and said.
"Okay, Mr. Xu, wait a minute." Su Mo smiled and walked to the bar with a sigh of relief.
Su Mo was preparing coffee, and his mind was flying, Old Xu was not good, but he couldn't see that he was going to make things difficult for himself, what did he want to do?
"Old Xu, this is the signature Blue Mountain in our store, you can try it." Su Mo held a cup of coffee and said respectfully.
Xu Lao took a sip of coffee and nodded, it tasted really good.
"Miss Su, sit down too, accompany me, the old man, and have a chat." Xu Lao said, pointing to the opposite position. Su Mo pondered for a moment and sat down generously.
"I heard that Miss Su's coffee shop was opened with Mr. Jiang's wife?" Xu Lao took another sip of coffee and asked.
"Well, yes." Su Mo replied.
"This coffee shop is doing well?"
"Well, it's not bad, people who have been here have a good reputation for our store." Su Mo said with a little pride.
"Then what does Miss Su think of this coffee shop compared to our Xu family?" Xu Lao squinted at Su Mo.
"Old Xu is joking, our café is just a joke in front of the Xu family, how can it be compared with the Xu family. It's just that no matter how small the café is, this is also the brainchild of me and Young, and for us, it is priceless. Su Mo guessed what Xu Lao wanted to say next, so he took the initiative to borrow this to compare the love between himself and Xu Chen.
"Miss Su is really a delicate girl, so I won't go around in circles as an old man." As Xu Lao spoke, he stretched out his hand to the person next to him, and a briefcase was respectfully handed to him.
"This is a check with no amount filled, Miss Su, don't be in a hurry to refuse, wait for you to think about it, fill in the amount yourself and come to me." The old man promised that he would be able to deliver on it. I don't need to say more about the conditions, Miss Su can also understand. Xu Lao said, handing a check to Su Mo.
"Old Xu......" Su Mo glanced at the check and was about to refuse, but was interrupted by Old Xu.
"Miss Su, I said, don't be in a hurry to refuse. You take it first, if you don't come to me within a year, then I will take the initiative to take it back, but I also understand your and Chen'er's determination. But this year, no matter when or under what circumstances you come to me, I hope that Miss Su can fulfill the promise you did not answer at this moment. Old Xu's stubborn expression made Su Mo unable to shirk anymore, so he could only put away the check.
After Xu Lao left, Su Mo had no intention of doing anything again all afternoon, and he was still thinking about Xu Lao's intentions, why did he force himself to stuff such a check?
Shen Shi woke up in a daze It was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and she had slept for several hours this night, probably because she had been really tired recently.
"Xiaomo, I'll go to the hospital and see Ding Ning, you take care of the store." Shen Shi stretched his waist and talked to Su Mo.
"Hmm." Su Mo was absent-minded, still thinking about Old Xu's intentions. Although Shen Shi looked at her a little strangely, he thought that he was probably a little worried about the matter with Xu Chen, so he didn't ask Su Mo.
In the hospital ward, Shen Shi appeared in Ding Ning's ward with fruits, Ding Ning was not surprised by Shen Shi's appearance, but he didn't have a good face.
"Mrs. Xu, that day, I am really sorry that I missed and injured you." Shen Shi apologized with a coping face, but his face did not show much apology.
"No need, Mrs. Jiang's apology, I'm afraid I can't afford it." Ding Ning saw that Xu Lao was there, but Jiang Jueli was not accompanied by him, and his waist suddenly stiffened a lot.
"Since Mrs. Xu can still speak so loudly, her injuries must have healed a lot, so I'll leave first." Shen Shi said, not looking at Ding Ning, but bowing respectfully to Old Xu.
Ding Ning wanted to say something, but Xu Lao ordered her with his eyes, don't mess around, Ding Ning closed his mouth and didn't say anything more.
Shen Shi walked to the door of the hospital and heard Xu Lao call out to her.
"Mrs. Jiang!" Xu Lao walked out slowly and methodically, catching up with Shen Shi's footsteps.
"For the last time, although it was Xiao Ning's hand that moved first, she was also injured. I hope this time the matter will end here, after all, the friendship between the Xu family and Chenlou can't have any cracks because of this. In addition, regarding the matter between Xu Chen and Su Mo, I hope that Mrs. Jiang will stop interfering. The oppression in Old Xu's tone made Shen Shi not speak for a while.
"Old Xu, Su Mo is my friend and my partner, I can't watch her being wronged. What's more, she and Xu Chen are in love, why do you have to break them up! Shen Shi said incomprehensibly.
"Mrs. Jiang, each family has its own hard requirements, and our Xu family can only accept everyone's girlfriends, especially Chen'er is the heir I chose. But I can guarantee that nothing like this will happen in the future. As for whether Su Mo can have a result with Chen'er, it depends on her creation. Xu Lao said, holding his crutches, and turned to leave.
Shen Shi wanted to say something, but was stopped by Jiang Jueli.
"Jiang Jueli, why are you here?" Shen Shi looked at Jiang Jueli who suddenly appeared in surprise.
In the ward, Xu Lao did not accompany Ding Ning all the time, after all, he was old, and Xu Lao's body was a little unbearable. Xu Lao left and said that he would let Xu Chen come over to guard Ding Ning, but Ding Ning did not wait for Xu Chen's appearance, but waited for Meizi.
"Mrs. Xu, long time no see." Meizi met Ding Ning once, although the age difference between the two is not much, but Meizi was Xu Chen's girlfriend, and the two are different generations, but Meizi's attitude is always humble.
"What are you going to do?" Ding Ning frowned and looked at Miko, he didn't like Miko very much.
"I heard you're injured, so I'm here to see you." Miko ignored Ding Ning's displeasure and still smiled.
"No, take your stuff and get out of here." Ding Ning didn't give Meizi a good face at all, and his face was full of disdain and impatience.
"Madam, no matter how I am, I used to be Xu Chen's girlfriend, and you are her mother, isn't this too lacking." Miko was a little irritated by Ding Ning's impatience, so she smiled and said.
"You also know that once, our Chen'er was so good to you, but you dumped him. You think you're something, and you dare to dump him. Ding Ning said angrily, so excited that the needles in his hands were a little loose.
"Madam, I don't have enough fate with Xu Chen, so I lost him. But he was angry because he broke up with me, and he was with Su Mo, which must be what you don't want to see. I've heard about Madame's injury, Su Mo and Shen Shi are really too ignorant, that's why they ......" Miko gushed endlessly, but was interrupted by Ding Ning.
"Meizi, Mingren doesn't say secret words, you want to break up Su Mo and Xu Chen, but you don't want the Xu family to become Shen Shi's help, making it more difficult for you and Jiang Jueli to be together. But even without the help of the Xu family, it is impossible for you and Jiang Jueli to be together, because people don't look down on you at all! Ding Ning said sarcastically about Miko, and Miko's face was red and white when she was said.
"Ding Ning, we can be regarded as having the same goal, why are you aggressive!" Miko said, looking straight at Ding Ning.
"Yes, neither I nor the Xu family will let Su Mo stay by Chen'er's side. But that's our Xu family's business, our Xu family won't be Shen Shi's help, but it won't be your pawn either! We're not all the way! Ding Ning said sharply.
"You!" Meizi looked at Ding Ning angrily, and Ding Ning also looked at her.
"Chen'er was hurt by you like that before, what do you think you are qualified to join forces with the Xu family. That's right, you're the heir to Matsushima, so we were both optimistic about both of you at first. But in the end, Chen'er just became a chess piece for you, a chess piece close to Jiang Jueli. You say how can I join forces with you, how can I forgive you for those things you did! Ding Ning stared at Meizi deadly, in her opinion, if Meizi hadn't hurt Xu Chen so deeply, Xu Chen probably wouldn't have been hurt for a while, so she found Su Mo's way out.
"In that case, then I wish Mrs. Xu a speedy recovery!" The two failed to join forces, and Miko could only brush her sleeves away.
But from Ding Ning's words, Meizi vaguely felt that something was wrong. It is said that Ding Ning is just Xu Chen's mother, how can she be so concerned about Xu Chen? Is there something wrong with this? Thinking so, Miko called someone again, and she decided to check Ding Ning carefully. Even if Ding Ning can't be on the same front with her in the future, she won't stop Ding Ning humiliating her.
