Chapter 49: Exhausted
In the restaurant, Ji Xianting looked at the table full of sumptuous dishes, and the food was tasteless.
The hot chat between his parents and Xu Xiaoshu, he did not participate in the whole process.
"Xianting, did you invite someone to dinner after Xiaoshu came back?"
"I've eaten it." A short answer made Qiu Siyin's smile freeze.
"Auntie, Xianting was already invited last night." Xu Xiaoshu added: "I went to the hotel I liked, and I had several friends. ”
Hearing Xu Xiaoshu say this, Qiu Siyin's expression softened: "Xiaoshu, Xianting is such a cold person, but he knows it all in his heart, don't think he is boring." ”
"Auntie, I've known Xianting for so many years, and I don't care if I know his character."
Ji Xianting ate the dishes silently as if he hadn't heard the conversation between the two.
"Xianting, why don't you just eat vegetables and talk to Xiao Shu." Ji Yanli said.
"It's enough to have your mother talk to her with you." Ji Xianting replied coldly.
"You!" Qiu Siyin put down his chopsticks: "How do you talk in front of Xiaoshu?" ”
Ji Xianting also put down his chopsticks: "What, did I say it wrong?" ”
"It's okay Auntie, we talked about everything we should have talked about when we had dinner together yesterday." Seeing this, Xu Xiaoshu came out to play a round.
Ji Yanli looked at his son with some displeasure: "Look at how sensible people are smiling." ”
Ji Xianting didn't speak, picked up the wine glass and prepared to drink.
At this time, Qiu Siyin suddenly spoke: "Don't drink, you can drive Xiaoshu home in a while." ”
Ji Xianting drank all the wine in the cup without thinking about it: "Mom, I'm afraid I won't be able to send it." ”
Qiu Siyin was angry with Ji Xianting's actions, she always felt that today's Ji Xianting was too abnormal.
"Auntie, I have a driver, it's fine. It's a pity not to drink such a good wine string pavilion. Xu Xiaoshu picked up the wine glass: "I respect my uncle and aunt, thank you for your hospitality." ”
Due to Xu Xiaoshu's presence, the two of them had a bad seizure, so they just glared at their son and picked up the wine glass and clinked glasses with Xu Xiaoshu.
This meal was really depressing, and after eating, Xu Xiaoshu immediately proposed that he still had something to leave.
The task of sending Xu Xiaoshu out still fell on Ji Xianting.
The two went out, and Xu Xiaoshu said: "I thought that the marriage would not work, and we could still be friends." ”
"It can be friends." Ji Xianting replied without being salty.
Xu Xiaoshu chuckled: "My friend just made me so unable to get off the stage?" ”
"I'm sorry, but that's the only way to cut off my parents' thoughts." Just now, Ji Xianting did it on purpose.
"Don't worry, since we've talked about this before, I won't do anything behind it. My aunt invited me today, and I haven't come to visit since I returned to China. ”
Ji Xianting nodded: "Thank you." Be careful on the road. ”
Xu Xiaoshu shook his head with a smile, Ji Xianting had already begun to impatiently order the eviction.
She waved her hand, opened the car door and sat in.
watched Xu Xiaoshu's car leave Ji Xianting before going back.
"Xianting, come here." As soon as he entered the door, he heard his mother's voice.
Ji Xianting looked over and saw that his parents were already sitting on the sofa, thinking that they were waiting to reprimand him.
He walked over and sat on the other side, waiting for his mother's count.
"What's going on with you today? Is that what I taught you? Let Xiaoshu a girl not get off the stage? ”
"Mom, this is the second time you've lied to me."
"What?" Qiu Siyin was stunned.
"The first time I lied to me that I had an important client, it turned out to be a blind date for me and Xiaoshu. This time, I said that I invited an important guest, but I still wanted to match me and Xiaoshu. ”
"What's wrong with matching you? Xiaoshu is beautiful and has a good personality, and he is going to take over the company when he comes back this time. Qiu Siyin continued.
Ji Xianting chuckled: "Yes, Xiaoshu is good anywhere, but I don't like it." ”
"Don't like it?" Ji Yanli finally spoke: "Then what do you like?" ”
At this time, Ruan Cen's appearance immediately appeared in front of Ji Xianting's eyes.
But at this time, I can't tell them, because no one knows better than myself about the methods of my parents, and exposing Ruan Cen's existence at this time will only harm her.
"Nope."
"Since you don't have one, why can't you try to be with Xiaoshu?" Qiu Siyin asked, his eyes full of puzzlement. In her opinion, Xiaoshu is a very satisfactory candidate for daughter-in-law, but something went wrong with her son.
"Mom and Dad, I told you, I don't have the heart to think about this yet."
"And what do you have on your mind?"
Ji Yanli said sharply, Ji Xianting heard it, he was already angry.
"Dad, let's talk about it when I get a firm foothold in the company."
"Stand firm? What does it mean to stand firm? Does your company still need to stand firm? Obviously, Ji Yanli was skeptical of Ji Xianting's lame reason.
Ji Xianting stood up: "Dad, Wang Qin's matter has come to an end, and soon Chairman Liu will come out of the water, and then the board of directors of the group will inevitably be turbulent." I'm also about to go to the group for appointment, and you know how busy this will be, I don't have time to estimate anything else. ”
Since Ji Yanli didn't believe it, Ji Xianting put everything out in front of him one by one.
"I, the general manager of the Airborne Group, don't want people to think that I have such special treatment because you are the chairman. The two projects after taking office are the time to show my ability, and I need to use my ability to serve the public. ”
Ji Yanli's eyes flickered when he looked at Ji Xianting, and Ji Xianting knew that he had moved his father.
Ji Yanli coughed lightly and stood up: "No matter what, you have to consider the major events of your life." When the dust settles on everything, you have to think about it. ”
Ji Xianting knew that his father was relieved.
He looked at Qiu Siyin: "Mom, don't look for Xiaoshu anymore, she doesn't like me either, it will be a burden to others." I will take care of my own affairs, but I want to take care of the company's affairs first. ”
Qiu Siyin looked at her husband, and what she wanted to say was unsaid after all.
"Mom and Dad, you guys have a good rest, I'll go first."
"Where are you going? Stay home and sleep so late. Qiu Siyin got up.
"No, I still have some information to read, and I have to deal with Wang Qin's affairs tomorrow, so I'll go back first."
With that, Ji Xianting left the old mansion.
"Forget it, let's talk about it when the company's affairs are over." Ji Yanli looked at his wife.
"Aren't I afraid that Xiaoshu will be snatched away by others? Such a good girl, I don't know how many people are worried about it. ”
"Look at Xianting's temper, the twisted melon is not sweet. After a while, maybe his own mind will change, and we will wait. ”
"That's all there is to it."
Ji Xianting, who went out, got in the car and wanted the driver to drive to Ruan Cen, but when he saw that the time was a little late, he returned to his residence.
When he got home, Ji Xianting suddenly felt very tired.
He didn't turn on the light, and sat on the couch with his eyes closed.
At that moment, his cell phone rang.
Looking at the name on the screen, he finally showed his first smile of the night.
"Hey, Nguyen."
