Chapter 149 He is angry

Xia Yu started working on the spot. He was also a workaholic. It was okay when he had no work on hand, but once he got the documents, he didn't even have time to eat.

At this time, the food we ordered came up, and I politely greeted, "You can start eating."

Xia Yu looked up at the delicious food and sighed, "I can't eat it. My appetite is ruined. I may have to go back to the company first. You guys eat."

"You want to go back to the company?" Xu Zhengnan raised his eyebrows.

Xia Yu stood up holding the documents and answered helplessly, "Yeah, if you hadn't brought it to me, I would have forgotten about it. Now that you brought it to me, how could I still eat? I just heard you say that Miss Li's store has a lot of good things, so I came to buy a few things. She insisted on treating me to a meal. It's hard to refuse such a kind invitation. It's so rare. I should have told you earlier."

Xu Zhengnan laughed, and seemed satisfied with his friend's decision to rush back to the company to work. "Well, go ahead."

Xia Yu said to me again, "Ms. Li, thank you for your hospitality. I will treat you to a meal next time."

I nodded quickly, "Okay."

Xia Yu then left the restaurant first, so this meal became a dinner for just Xu Zhengnan and I. I felt a little awkward, a little afraid that he would ask about Shen Yixiao and I. Although I had already said that I would get a divorce, as an outsider, he might not be clear about my difficulties in many things.

Fortunately, he didn't say anything and just ate quietly.

I breathed a sigh of relief and started eating.

Halfway through the meal, he suddenly stared at me quietly and said, "I also bought a lot of things in your store, why didn't you treat me to a meal?"

"I said I would treat you, but you didn't have time. How about just consider today's meal as my treat?" I was a little caught off guard by his sudden question.

Xu Zhengnan frowned, "You even have to borrow flowers to offer to Buddha when you invite me to dinner?"

This is not just borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha. Does he look down on me and worry that I can't even afford to treat him to a meal?

I immediately replied, "How is that possible? That doesn't count this time. I'll treat you to a meal next time. You've helped me so much, I owe you a lot. Treating you to a meal is just a small thing."

If I could treat him to a few meals, I could offset the favor I owe him, and that would be more than I could ask for.

Xu Zhengnan was quite satisfied with my answer. He told me that my parents were planning to move to another place. My father had agreed and had already paid the down payment. The house over there was fully furnished and we just needed to move in and buy some soft furnishings. If everything went well, it could be completed within a month.

I can still bear it for a month.

I asked with some concern, "Have you seen any strange people near my house recently? I asked Shen Yixiao to withdraw the people who were monitoring my house, but I don't know if he will continue to watch secretly. If he finds out that my parents are moving, he will definitely follow them and guess my intentions."

Xu Zhengnan put down the chopsticks in his hand, his expression solemn, "Well, I have also considered this, so I asked my friends to increase patrols in our area, especially near your home."

"Your friend? The one in charge of public security?" I asked.

Xu Zhengnan nodded.

Our community is quite old, similar to an open-style villa area. It is now so old that there is almost no security, and people can move around the villa area at will. Otherwise, Shen Yixiao would not have been able to come downstairs of my house to wait for me.

I breathed a sigh of relief. With Xu Zhengnan's guarantee, my parents' safety would be greatly improved.

I raised my glass and toasted Xu Zhengnan, "I toast you, Xu Zhengnan. You have helped me so much. All my words can be turned into this glass of wine."

Xu Zhengnan raised his glass and clinked it with mine, and I drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

I think this heroic move of mine is a sign of my sincerity, but in Xu Zhengnan's opinion, it is not appropriate. He looked at my empty wine glass and asked, "Did you develop your drinking capacity by being with Shen Yixiao?"

I was stunned. Why did we suddenly get to this topic?

Before I was with Shen Yixiao, I didn't smoke or drink. We were still students at that time, and I had no interest in cigarettes or alcohol, so I would feel disgusted when I saw these two things. Even if my dad occasionally smoked and drank, I would be unhappy.

Later, in order to blend into Shen Yixiao's circle, I took the initiative to follow him to the bar to drink, just because I didn't want him to treat me as an alien and let me drink alone just to take care of me when everyone was happy.

My drinking capacity has been developed slowly. I still don’t think wine tastes good, but I can drink a little when I need it.

I was a little embarrassed, "Yeah."

"Drink less, it's not good for you." Xu Zhengnan said with a cold face.

I nodded, "Yeah, I've already quit smoking, and now I'm going to quit drinking."

"You still smoke?" Xu Zhengnan's face darkened instantly, "Shen Yixiao taught you?"

It's not really teaching, but just being in that circle, you will gradually pick up some bad habits, smoking and drinking are the most basic ones.

I didn't know how to answer Xu Zhengnan's question, and I knew he must hate me for being like this.

"I'm not going to eat anymore. I'm going to the company first." Seeing that I didn't say anything, he stood up irritably, threw down these words and left first.

I sat there feeling unhappy. My appetite, which was originally quite good, disappeared. After being stunned for a while, I stood up to pay the bill, but was told that Xu Zhengnan had already paid.

Instead of going to the store, I drove back home and prepared to take a nap and rest.

"Where is Jiang Fang?" I asked the servant.

"She is sleeping upstairs," the servant replied.

I'm really worried that Jiang Fang won't be able to handle the pressure from Lu Xiaoyun and will leave. She is my most capable general at the moment.

Hearing that she was sleeping upstairs, I felt relieved. As for where Lu Xiaoyun was, I didn't ask and went straight upstairs to rest.

As soon as I reached the second floor, I saw Lu Xiaoyun walking out of her room with a bag in her hand.

As soon as she saw me, she quickly hid the bag behind her back, as if she was afraid I would see it. "Madam, why did you come back?"

"Do I need to ask you when I want to come back to my home?" I asked calmly, "Did you take the bag behind you from my room?"

Lu Xiaoyun quickly shook her head, "No, no, this is my bag!"

I looked at her and said nothing.

She stammered as she explained, "I have a class reunion in a few days. This is the bag that Mr. Shen bought for me as hard work compensation for my pregnancy. Madam, you already have so many bags, you shouldn't mind me buying one, right?"

As she said this she was about to start crying again.

"Chen Yixiao is not here, why are you crying?" I asked impatiently. The most important audience is not here, so there is no need to act.
