Xu Linyue picked up the wine glass and walked over, and the greetings of Vanity Fair were just a few words, boring, but they had to do it.

He had just finished chatting with the men at this table and tasting wine, when he turned his head and was pulled away by Xu Huiyin, saying that he wanted to introduce a "new friend" to him.

Xu Linyue was helpless and tired, and in the afternoon, he still had a Minfu in the car, and when he heard that there was a niece of the same age as him, he couldn't wait to match the two of them.

finally got free time to catch his breath, and Yin Yutang came to him again.

"Uncle, you let me slow down." Xu Linyue pulled his tie loosely, the room was stuffy, and he felt that his breathing was a little difficult.

Yin Yutang gloated: "Your sister arranged a blind date for you again?" ”

"Hmm." Xu Linyue brought himself a glass of lemonade, "You still want me to get back together with Chang Minfu in the afternoon." ”

Yin Yutang said: "Minfu's background is still a little worse after all, your sister definitely wants to find the best for you." ”

Xu Linyue just wanted to laugh when he heard it, and retorted: "What age is it and still depends on the family background?" ”

"Isn't it right to look at your family history?" Yin Yutang took a sip of the foreign wine in the cup, "Family background explains the vision, and the vision shows the three views." ”

Xu Linyue narrowed his eyes: "Don't tell me that you are with her because the two of you have the same view." ”

Yin Yutang shot back and said, "At least my wife and my sister are satisfied, what about your sister?" Where's your wife? ”

Xu Linyue snorted and laughed: "My mother thinks that you won't be able to get married for the rest of your life." ”

"That's not what your mom is worried about. Let me tell you," Yin Yutang put down his glass, "how much I like to determine the upper limit of a relationship, but how appropriate it is to determine the lower limit of this relationship." ”

Xu Linyue frowned: "What do you mean?" ”

"So that you don't want too much." Yin Yutang finished speaking and left.

Xu Linyue drank all the lemonade in the cup, and he felt that the house was stuffy, so he returned to the yard alone.

Wanting to see the time, he took out his mobile phone and remembered the missed call in the afternoon.

It's seven o'clock in the evening, Xu Linyue thought about it, and still dialed back.

He didn't wait long, and the person on the other side said "hey" when the phone was connected.

Probably dissatisfied with his call during off-duty hours, the intern's tone sounded impatient.

"How's the regular meeting going?" Xu Linyue asked.

"Do you remember?"

This made him not know what to say all of a sudden.

There was silence in the earpiece for two seconds, and the other party probably realized that his tone was not good, and cleared his throat and said: "I reported the current progress, and everyone else is not very optimistic about this project, Darlene saw that I was the only one, so I didn't say much." ”

"Hmm." Xu Linyue raised his head, and the stars were twinkling in the night sky.

"Anything else?" The person on the other end of the line asked.

"I'll give you five hundred, you come to Xishan to pick me up now, are you willing?"

"I don't want to."

She refused too simply, Xu Linyue just said it casually, and didn't expect her to really agree: "Okay, you rest early, hang up." ”

As soon as Xu Linyue took down his mobile phone and was about to hang up, he heard the other end say, "Oh yes." ”

"What?"

"Last time, it was An Jinxian who apologized, but you didn't win."

Xu Linyue was stunned: "Okay." ”

"Also, how do you know that one of them will apologize first?"

Xu Linyue said: "You guys are actually quite similar. ”

"Where?"

Xu Linyue didn't answer: "Hang up, see you in the company." ”

Chapter 14

Tao Ting nestled in the single sofa and took the phone from her ear.

Yang Fangting handed her daughter a toothpick and asked her, "Whose phone is it?" ”

"Leadership." Tao Ting forked a cut pear from the fruit bowl.

"Do you still want to work overtime on weekends?"

"No, just ask."

After a while, Tao Zejun returned, with glasses on the bridge of his nose, apparently just coming out of the shed.

"Have you eaten?" Yang Fangting asked him, "Dad sent a box of pears today, and I stewed rock sugar pears for you." ”

"After eating, the newcomer is not in good condition, and he has been grinding all night, and he just finished work." Tao Zejun changed his shoes and entered the house, sat down on the sofa, and said to her, "I'll go back to my hometown in two days, you see if you have any clothes that you can't wear, and I'll give them to Nan Nan." ”

Tao Ting nodded: "Okay." ”

Yang Fangting stood up and went to the kitchen: "Can Nan Nan wear her clothes?" ”

"I can wear it, the last time I went to her, she wore it was her daughter's."

Tao Zejun picked up the remote control and wanted to change it, but Tao Ting hurriedly stopped: "Don't change it, it's exciting." ”

"This male protagonist immediately ran out of spiritual power and disappeared, and finally the female protagonist took the child to wait for him in the mountains." Tao Zejun switched to the sports channel as he spoke, "Is there anything else you want to know?" Dad will tell you. ”

Tao Ting complained angrily: "The male protagonists of the ten costume dramas are all your voice, and it is not easy to find a department that can be watched by you or the dubbing director, and you are all spoiled." ”

"Then watch less costume dramas." Tao Zejun changed to a comfortable position and lay down, so that his daughter said, "Help Dad pour a cup of tea." ”

"Pour it yourself." Tao Ting crossed her legs and did not move.

Yang Fangting came out with rock sugar pears, handed the bowl to Tao Zejun, and asked Tao Ting: "There is still some left in the pot, do you want it?" ”

"Don't."

Yang Fangting glanced at her: "You are very angry today." ”

Tao Ting chewed the pear and didn't speak.

"Eat more and lower the fire."

"Did Mom call you?" Tao Zejun asked Yang Fangting.

"Nope."

Tao Zejun looked at Tao Ting and said, "I said her grandmother." ”

"What's wrong?" Yang Fangting suddenly became nervous.

Tao Zejun scooped the sweet soup with a spoon.

Yang Fangting pushed his arm: "Say, what's the matter?" ”

"Eh, flipped over." Tao Zejun sighed and said, "Shen Chun has it again." ”

There was silence in the living room, Tao Ting raised her head, and said in surprise: "Didn't Auntie just shed one?" Do you dare to ask for it? ”

"She didn't dare, she had to dare." Yang Fangting thought for a while and said to Tao Ting, "Tomorrow the two of us will go to the mall and buy a new set of clothes for Nan Nan, just a few clothes every winter." ”

Tao Ting nodded, put down her legs and put on her slippers, got up and said, "I'll go find some books for her, and bring them over when the time comes." ”

The parents behind him lowered their voices and continued to talk, and Tao Ting slowed down.

"I'm sure I'm looking for you again."

"If you want, you want."

"Tao Ting has been born for more than 20 years now, how many times have they come to see their granddaughter? Every time something happens, I remember to call you back. ”

Tao Ting walked into the study and felt the switch on the wall to turn on the top light.

Relationships are complex and changeable, and the closer they are, the more difficult they are to deal with.

She walked to the bookcase, and the extracurricular books and workbooks from childhood to adulthood were neatly packed by Yang Fangting.

My cousin is still in elementary school, and the children's books that can be read have already been taken, so Tao Ting thought that she would go to the bookstore tomorrow to buy a few new books.

The weekend passed in a flash, and the breath in her heart was held until Monday morning.

Leon would leave early, but never late, and he showed up at the office door on time as usual.

Tao Ting raised her head from the computer screen, picked up the coffee in her hand and handed it over, and said to him by the way: "Ann said that the budget form has been sent to the mailbox, you remember to check." ”

Leon was on the phone, nodded at her, and reached out his left hand to pick it up.

The next second, seeing the plastic cup fall off from her hand, Tao Ting felt her heart swoop rapidly.

Plastic cups slammed on the table, coffee splashed and flowed down the edge of the table, and a few ice cubes rolled down the carpet.

Looking at the mess in front of him, Leon was also stunned, his hand was still raised in the air, and after coming back to his senses, he hurriedly left a sentence to the person on the phone: "I'll bring it to you later." ”

The book with the white cover was soaked with coffee, Tao Ting took a sharp breath and hurriedly reached out to save it.

Leon picked up the tissue box on the table, smoked a number of sheets, and bent down on one knee to wipe the carpet.

"I'll do it." Tao Ting also squatted down.

"I didn't catch it." Leon wrapped the ice cubes in a tissue and asked her, "Are your stuff okay?" ”

"It's fine." Tao Ting was embarrassed to watch the leader wipe the floor, but the tissue box was in Leon's hand again.

"I'll buy you another drink later." She said.

"No need."

Tao Ting squatted in a ball, lifted her eyes to look at the man in front of her, her heart was beating in her chest, and she had not recovered from the fright just now.

She was pretty sure she didn't let go until she saw Leon hold the cup, so he didn't catch it, he didn't hold it steadily, as if his left hand couldn't exert his strength.

"I'll let the cleaning lady clean it up later." Leon stood up and tossed the damp tissue ball into the trash.

Tao Ting nodded.

The door to the inner room was locked, and Leon took the key out of his pocket.
