I'm My Ex's Mother-in-Law

At my ex-boyfriend's engagement banquet, I appeared in full attire. He thought I was there to cause trouble, but I smiled very kindly and said, "We'll all be family from now on, no need...

Chapter 809: A Good Calculation

Chapter 809: A Good Calculation

As graduation approaches, there are no more classes in school, but there are occasional lectures related to graduation projects and professional practice.

My graduation project has been completed and I am just waiting for the graduation project release conference at the end of the month.

Without the pressure of finding a job, I have developed the habit of sleeping until I wake up naturally every day.

I was woken up early in the morning by the ringing of Xiao Shiqiu's cell phone, "Who is it? So early..." I complained in a daze.

"Baby, sleep a little longer. I'll go out and answer the phone." After saying that, he turned around, got out of bed, and went to the balcony to answer the phone.

I looked at my phone. It was only 7:20. No wonder even Xiao Shiqiu hadn't gotten up yet. But since someone called him so early, it must be someone he knew, and it must be something urgent.

Not long after, he came in after answering the phone. Seeing me looking at him with my eyes open, he climbed onto the bed and hugged me. "It was that bastard Wen Congwu. He wanted me to accompany him to see my uncle. I could have just said no yesterday, but he had to call me so early in the morning."

I blinked, "So you're going to go with him later?"

"Well," he kissed me on the forehead, stood up and started to put on his clothes, "This case involves you, I have to take it seriously, you just sleep a little longer, I'll go with him."

I also sat up and said, "I'll go with you. I'm involved in this matter. I can just sit in as a background observer."

"Okay, let's go together. After we're done, we can go to the R&D center to pick out some stuff."

In order not to be late, I resisted the urge to sleep and went to wash up while yawning. When I came out, he had already asked someone to bring me breakfast, which was my favorite soup dumplings, soy milk, a small plate of blueberries and a few lychees.

I was a little surprised to see blueberries and lychees. I didn't buy these two fruits yesterday. "Now takeout breakfast comes with fruit?"

"Well, just pay me. Once I pay you, you can have all the caviar you want so early in the morning."

"Which takeaway has such good service?" Why have I never encountered anyone who gave me fruit when I bought breakfast?

He didn't even look up, "Xiao Yang, takeout."

I was just about to ask Xiao Yang which company the takeout was from, but then I immediately thought, besides Special Assistant Yang, who else could be so thoughtful.

After dinner, Xiao Shiqiu dressed neatly and chose a tie in the cloakroom.

I peeked in and saw him holding that dark blue tie with dark patterns that he rarely wore. I couldn't help but ask, "Do you need to be so formal when meeting your uncle? Is he your uncle?"

He turned and smiled at me, "That's the Ministry of Public Security building. Even if you're meeting your father, you can't dress too casually."

He put on a tie and came to my side, leaned over and kissed me on the forehead, with a faint mint scent, "You don't have to dress so formally, as long as it's decent and not too casual.

Oh, and remember to bring your ID card, or you won’t even be able to get through the gate.”

The concept of "appropriateness" is too broad. Whenever this happens, I start to envy men. As long as it is a slightly formal occasion and I don't know what to wear, a shirt and a suit will never go wrong.

Women have so many choices, especially after I moved in. His biggest hobby used to be taking me out for delicious food, but after I started to control my weight, this hobby became accompanying me to buy clothes, shoes, and bags.

If I dare to say that I don’t want to go shopping and want to rest at home, he will immediately understand that I want to stay at home with him, and the consequences will be much more tiring than shopping.

I have to pick out a piece of clothing that is suitable for today from the densely packed clothes racks. It feels like I am taking an exam as soon as I open my eyes.

Finally, I picked out a light pink chiffon shirt with a doll collar, the collar of which was decorated with delicate pearl buttons, the hem of the shirt was a pleated design at the waist, and the cuffs were small lantern-shaped.

The lower body is matched with a beige high-waisted A-line skirt, which is just a little above the knee, and a pair of nude pink thick-heeled Mary Jane shoes. The five-centimeter heels are just right. They are not tiring to wear and can also make you look taller.

As for accessories, when you don’t know what to wear, pearls will never go wrong, and simple pearl earrings are the safest.

When I was dressed and put on the Chanel chain bag, I saw Xiao Shiqiu looking at me in surprise, and I knew that this outfit was a success.

"Newly bought? I've never seen you wear this before?" He opened the door and let me go first.

I said nonchalantly, "I've worn it once. Last time I wore it with trousers. Did you forget?"

He considerately held the elevator door open and motioned me in. "Wear more skirts in the future. Your short legs will look so white and straight, and they'll look really good."

Even though he was praising me, I still had the urge to kick him. I glared at him fiercely, "If you don't know how to praise people, then don't do it! If I wasn't in a hurry to get out, I would have fought you no matter what!"

He chuckled and said, "No rush, let's come back and do it again. Let's fight for three hundred rounds!"

I:"……"

I forgot that I had to be careful when talking to him and absolutely could not use any words that could cause him to associate anything!

He didn't go to the underground garage to drive, but took me from the first floor to the gate of the community. Worker Xiao Yang and the driver were standing next to the extended Phantom waiting for us.

"Why are you driving such a conspicuous car today?" I don't really like this car. It's too eye-catching when I go out.

"Well, the security guards will be much nicer when you drive this car. If you don't believe me, try driving a broken Xiali next time." He said with a smile.

An hour later, the extended version of the Phantom stopped in front of a solemn building, and the soldier standing guard at the door stretched out his hand to stop us.

As Xiao Shiqiu and I got out of the car, Wen Congwu rushed over with dark circles under his eyes: "Ancestor, you're finally here! Our uncle hates people who are late the most..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Shiqiu had already turned around and took out a small box the size of a palm from the car and handed it to Wen Congwu, "Yuqian Longjing, you said you wanted to try it last time, so I brought you some."

Captain Wen's expression changed immediately. "Haha, I told you that you are the most reliable guy. Didn't you bring anything for our uncle?" Then he put the small box into his pocket.

Xiao Shiqiu rolled his eyes at him and said, "You ask someone to do something for you, and you ask me to do it for you. You are very good at calculating. Why do you want to be a policeman? You should be an accountant." Although he was complaining, Xiao Yang had already taken out an exquisite bag from the car and walked over.

Wen Congwu, who had received a box of fine tea, was not in a bad mood at the moment. He smiled as he watched Xiao Shiqiu take the bag from Xiao Yang. "Even our uncle wouldn't appreciate what I prepared. How can it be as thoughtful as the gift prepared by your nephew?"

Xiao Shiqiu rolled his eyes at him and took my hand as we walked towards the security check.

This is the first time I have experienced such strict security checks. In addition to checking my ID card, I also have to scan my face, and after that someone has to register my information.

The expressionless staff member didn't even raise his eyelids. "Which unit are you from? Who are you looking for? What's going on? Do you have an appointment?"

Xiao Shiqiu answered concisely, "I'm looking for Qiu Binjie. The appointment is at ten o'clock."

Perhaps because they were used to hearing everyone address him as Director Qiu, the staff member was stunned to find out who Qiu Binjie was. "Qiu Binjie? Which department are you from?"
