Chapter 94: Temporary Dinner
Xu Qingyao looked at the caller ID and didn't press the answer button for a long time.
In the years of marriage, Yao Lan's words and derogatory words are still echoing in my ears.
As long as she saw Yao Lan's name, she couldn't help but feel scared.
Xu Qingyao could fully imagine what Yao Lan would say after picking up the phone.
But pretending not to hear the phone call and running away from the past is not a long-term solution.
She had to find an opportunity to make it clear to Yao Lan that her marriage with Gu Peiran had changed.
"Hey...... Mom, are you looking for me? Xu Qingyao still maintained her previous title.
Yao Lan's cold voice came from the phone.
"Qingyan, what have you been busy with lately? I haven't seen you all the time. ”
Xu Qingyao replied truthfully, "I found a job, and I still had a lot of work some time ago, so I was busy." ”
"Work?" Yao Lan's tone added a hint of disdain, "Your food, clothing, housing and transportation are all from the Gu family, and AE Ran will transfer pocket money to you every month, and you even go out to show up?" ”
"Mom, it's the 21st century, it's normal for me to go out to work, how can you use the word "show up......"
Every time she heard Yao Lan say such derogatory words, Xu Qingyao would feel a sense of powerlessness from the bottom of her heart.
Yao Lan seems to have been committed to shaping her into the kind of deep boudoir woman who has nothing to do every day, just lying in bed and waiting for her husband to come home.
"Forget it, I'm old, and my mind can't keep up with you young people. Whatever I say, you have a reason to come back. ”
"Qingyan, I'm also good for you. Now this society can stay at home and enjoy happiness, how many people dream of something. You're not content all day, and you're always thinking about running out. ”
Yao Lan was nagging and educating Xu Qingyao, not caring at all about Xu Qingyao's increasingly silent attitude.
Those terrifying days that were once dominated by Yao Lan once again choked Xu Qingyao's throat.
She hurriedly interrupted, "Mom, let's not talk about this, you called, what's the matter?" ”
Yao Lan then remembered that he still had something to say, "Oh, I almost forgot to say, I will have dinner with your parents at Dehong Restaurant tonight, and you will come over together after Gu Peiran gets off work." ”
"Mom, I have something to do tonight, I can't ......"
"What can't be helped?!" Hearing Xu Qingyao's refusal, Yao Lan suddenly became angry, "Calculate for yourself, how long have you not shown up!" Who do you want to show such a big score? ”
"I'm telling you, no matter how busy you are tonight, you must come over to me. Otherwise, don't blame me for embarrassing your parents. ”
"Mom!"
Xu Qingyao's protest was ruthlessly hung up by Yao Lan, her angry hands were trembling, but she didn't want to turn back.
Full of complaints, she had no choice but to flip out Gu Peiran's WeChat dialog box and send a question.
[Xu Qingyao: Haven't you told your mother about us yet? We're getting divorced soon, why is she going to have dinner with my parents tonight? 】
After waiting for a while, Gu Peiran never replied.
It's three o'clock in the afternoon, and he guesses that he is in a meeting or busy with work, so he definitely doesn't have time to look at his phone.
Although Xu Qingyao was holding her breath in her heart, she still did not continue to harass Gu Peiran.
She knew that even if she had a quarrel with Gu Peiran now, she would have to go to that nasty dinner tonight.
In front of the two mountains, Zhao Lanzhi and Yao Lan, Xu Qingyao had no power to resist at all.
She threw her phone on the couch and closed the script in frustration.
When Gu Peiran saw the news, two hours had passed.
He also just learned that his mother arranged this dinner and forced him and Xu Qingyao to participate.
Gu Peiran looked at Xu Qingyao's obviously emotional news and frowned slightly.
The word 'divorce' is particularly glaring, repeatedly reminding him of Xu Qingyao's attitude towards this marriage.
But it was absolutely impossible for him to let go of Xu Qingyao, so that those cats and dogs would have a chance to get close to her.
Divorce? No way.
It is impossible for Xu Qingyao to leave him in this life......
It wasn't until six o'clock in the evening that Gu Peiran replied to Xu Qingyao's message.
Just two words.
[Gu Peiran: Go downstairs]
Even though Xu Qingyao was reluctant in her heart, she still changed her clothes and went downstairs obediently.
In front of the unit, a black Rolls-Royce was tightly blocked, and the residents of the community who passed by turned their heads to check, all wondering what the rich man in the car looked like.
It was the first time Xu Qingyao had seen Gu Peiran so high-profile, his travel car was usually a Cayenne or a Bentley, which was expensive but low-key.
And his car will be parked in the prescribed parking space, never before like now, directly blocked at the door of the unit.
Xu Qingyao was afraid of being pointed at, so she lowered her head, quickly opened the car door, and sat in the back seat of the car.
In the car, Gu Peiran was browsing the stock information on the tablet, and there were two glasses of champagne beside him, looking relaxed and relaxed.
He didn't pay attention to the sight outside the car at all, and he didn't care about Xu Qingyao's embarrassment at all.
"Gu Peiran, why are you parking the car in this position!" Xu Qingyao said angrily.
Gu Peiran glanced at her, as if he didn't understand why she started to get angry as soon as they met.
"If your car is in front of the door of the unit, it will affect the normal entry and exit of other people. And you are still driving such a high-profile car, you will definitely be photographed and sent to the owner group for scolding. ”
Qiao Xiaorui lives in a low-to-mid-range community, and most of the residents here are working-class people.
Gu Peiran's luxury car and his domineering behavior all show that he is out of place here.
Therefore, Xu Qingyao's concern is completely reasonable.
But Gu Peiran didn't care about this at all, but cared about Xu Qingyao's last sentence.
"Are you worried about me being scolded?"
Xu Qingyao was stunned by his peculiar concern, "Why should I worry about you!" You are blocked here, affecting the entry and exit of others, and you deserve to be scolded when the time comes! ”
"Huh." Gu Peiran laughed meaninglessly, and raised his hand to signal the driver to drive.
Soon, this eye-catching Rolls-Royce drove away from the community.
Xu Qingyao sat in the car, kept holding her chin and looked out the window, pretending that she and Gu Peiran were two carpool passengers she didn't know.
Gu Peiran took a sip of the slightly cool champagne and said casually, "Are you going to stay close to the door and sit until you get off?" ”
Xu Qingyao pretended not to hear it, and always pointed the back of her head at Gu Peiran.
There was silence in the car for a few seconds, and suddenly the sound of the upsplash sounded.
Xu Qingyao turned her head to look, only to see a baffle raised in front of the car, isolating the possibility of the driver looking at the back seat.
Her heart pounded twice, and she quickly asked nervously, "What are you going to do?!" ”
"Do what?" Gu Peiran repeated it playfully.
He pressed the back desk back into the seat, "Of course, I'm looking for you to do something that husband and wife should do." ”
