For three years while Xie Qinghui was abroad, Su Ruowan respectfully cared for his elders at home and even subsidized his living expenses with her own money. However, upon his return, he proposed a...
After hanging up the phone, Su Ruowan started packing her things.
She knew that Xi Yang didn't understand why she was unwilling to take this business when she was obviously short of money?
Su Ruowan didn't explain to him that she married a blind husband. She only gave him a solution, "I have to take care of my family now and I really can't spare the time. Either wait for me for three months, or you ask the other party to come to Fengcheng."
"Otherwise, we can only ask them to find someone else."
"Sorry, Xi Yang, I have a dinner appointment with my grandma, so I'm leaving now."
"Okay, I'll convey your message." Xi Yang had no choice but to nod.
"You go contact the lawyer first. If there are any problems, we can work together to find a solution. After asking Chen Meng tomorrow, I'll try to find a way to meet Aunt Wu's son and daughter. Aunt Wu said they've returned to China."
"Um."
"Leave."
"Do you want me to take you there?" Xi Yang shouted at the top of his voice.
"No, I'm used to riding an electric scooter."
"Go slowly on the road."
"knew."
After coming out of the studio, Su Ruowan walked along the sidewalk for a while before she saw a shared bicycle. Just as she was about to scan the QR code, Huo Shengnian called.
"Hello, Huo Shengnian." Su Ruowan called him by his full name.
"Yes, it's me." Huo Shengnian replied seriously, and then got down to business. "I called to ask if you have a lunch break at noon. Do you want to have lunch together?"
"Ah? I have an appointment. Sorry." Su Ruowan almost told him that her grandmother had asked her to have dinner together. Fortunately, she kept her mouth shut.
"Is that so? Okay then, see you tonight."
"Well, is there anything else? If not, I'll hang up."
"One more thing. You've already met my grandma. When will you arrange for me to meet your family?"
"I'll call my dad later and ask him when he has a day off, okay? I'll tell you when I get home tonight."
"OK."
"Is there anything else?"
“No more.”
"Well, let Fengyu and the others have a good meal with you. See you in the evening."
"good."
After hanging up the phone, the old lady sent her the address of the restaurant where she was going to have dinner. It was Yingyue Restaurant, which was located in the city center, about a fifteen-minute drive from where she was now.
"Okay, grandma, see you later." Su Ruowan sent a voice message to the old lady, then rode the shared electric scooter and headed towards Yingyue Restaurant.
Su Ruowan walked into Yingyue Restaurant. It took her seventeen minutes to ride, park, and enter the restaurant.
"Wanwan--" Seeing Su Ruowan, the old lady stood up and waved her hands, which was very conspicuous.
At lunchtime, there were a lot of white-collar workers and working people in the city center, and the restaurant hall was full. If the old lady hadn't stood up and waved her hands, Su Ruowan would not have noticed her at the first time.
She walked over quickly and sat down opposite the old lady. "Grandma, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
"No, no, grandma missed you so much that I asked you out for lunch. How was it? Did it affect your work?" The old lady knew that Su Ruowan had a proper job and was worried that it would affect her work.
Her old best friend often told her how good and motivated her daughter Wanwan was.
That old guy is really something. He has lived for most of his life, but he still doesn’t understand that no matter whether it is good things or good people, you must learn to hide them.
If you don't hide it and show it off everywhere, you will be envied and people will keep an eye on you.
"No, I only had one client this morning, but she had something happen at home, so she canceled the meeting at the last minute. I'm quite free." Su Ruowan said half of it and hid the other half.
She didn't want her grandmother to worry about her, as the studio where she worked and she were about to face a difficult lawsuit.
"Is that so? Then grandma is relieved. Wanwan, you didn't say that on purpose for grandma to hear, did you?" The old lady was still a little worried. She was really busy, and they could actually meet another day.
Anyway, we will be a family from now on, and there is a long way to go.
When that brat stopped pretending to be blind, she was no longer afraid of letting the secret slip, so she pestered the two of them every day and watched them make dolls.
"Really? How about I call my boss and you ask him in person?"
"That's not necessary. Grandma believes you." The old lady smiled.
At this time, the waiter came over and kindly reminded, "If you two need to order, just scan the QR code on the table."
"Okay, thank you." After thanking her, Su Ruowan picked up her phone, scanned the QR code on the table, and handed the phone to the old lady, "Grandma, take a look at what you want to eat today. It's my treat."
"No need, you order the food, grandma will treat you. If grandma can't do it, I'll transfer the money to you." The two had added each other as WeChat friends before, and soon after, Su Ruowan received a transfer of one thousand yuan.
"Grandma, a lunch costs less than 200 yuan, why did you transfer so much to me?" Su Ruowan didn't feel comfortable accepting so much.
"That's okay. The rest is my pocket money for Wanwan. You must accept it. Otherwise, grandma will be angry. If grandma gets angry, the consequences will be serious. I won't let you two have your own world anymore. Grandma will be the big light bulb for you two."
The old lady deliberately acted very fierce to 'scare' Su Ruowan.
Su Ruowan was not frightened at all. "Thank you, grandma. Huo Shengnian called me just now and asked me to have lunch with him. I almost told him about our appointment, but luckily I didn't."
"Really? That guy actually called you to arrange a meal?"
Su Ruowan, who was busy ordering food, didn't notice the strange expression on the old lady's face at all. Moreover, the old lady was pouting with an incredible look on her face.
Su Ruowan didn't notice that the old lady used the word "actually".
"Well, not long after you asked me out." Su Ruowan was busy browsing the restaurant menu.
“…”
"Grandma, can I get you some fish? Black fish fillet with pickled peppers and your favorite vermicelli noodles."
"Okay, this is good."
"This dish is more than enough for the two of us. How about ordering their signature dish, roast goose?"
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"That's it."
Su Ruowan placed the order. She wanted a medium pot of black fish with pickled peppers for 128, and a quarter roast goose for 98. For more than 200 yuan, the rice would be free.
After Su Ruo finished her meal, the waiter placed a number plate on their table.
Soon after, a waiter brought them a wooden barrel of rice. The bowls and chopsticks had been placed on the table early, and the waiter took away the extra bowls and chopsticks.
"Wanwan, grandma wants to ask you a question, okay?" After the waiter left, the old lady picked up the teacup in front of her, pursed her lips and took a sip. Before asking the key point, she laid the foundation first.
"Of course, Grandma, if you ask."
"Last night, you and Sheng Nian shared a bed for the first time. Did you sleep well?"
“…”
Su Ruowan was stunned. She never expected that the old lady would ask such a straightforward question.
How should she respond?
