It was already three o'clock when Lin Yan sent Liao Wen back home. Since there was nothing else to do, she went straight home.
Today is not the weekend, Lu Jinghuai is still in the company, and Lin Yan took leave specifically to pick up Liao Wen.
Lin Yan had nothing to do when she returned home at this time, so she checked the time and went to the children's room.
Yaya had woken up, and when she saw Lin Yan coming over, she babbled as if to say hello.
"Yaya, are you happy that your mom is back?" Lin Yan took Yaya down from the crib and put her on the carpet.
Yaya is almost five months old now and can already roll over. She can even do it if she has something to lean on.
Lin Yan took a big doll and gave it to Yaya as a backrest so that she could sit up. After the little girl sat up, she started babbling, as if she was talking to Lin Yan.
Lin Yan smiled and "guessed" what she said, and then answered. The father and daughter were not bored playing like this. In the blink of an eye, they played until five or six o'clock, and it was getting dark outside.
On the way, I received a call from Lu Jinghuai, saying that Ji Mingyuan and Liang Huo invited me to drink and I would not be home for dinner that night.
Although Lin Yan has a good relationship with Lu Jinghuai now, she will not interfere with Lu Jinghuai's social life. In her opinion, even a couple needs friends and private space.
Lin Yan would occasionally go out with friends for a small gathering, go shopping with Tong Miaomiao, pick up Liao Wen at the airport and have a meal with her, so she would not stop Lu Jinghuai from going out for drinks with friends.
As for the rest, Lin Yan also believed that Lu Jinghuai would not act recklessly.
On the other side, Lu Jinghuai had also arrived at the agreed bar. When he opened the door of the private room, he saw a few familiar people. Because it was a small gathering, there were not many people.
There are five or six of them, all of whom have good relationships and are capable.
For people like them, besides being emotionally involved, their friendships must be motivated by interests. They can only get along happily if they have similar status and abilities.
Today's game was organized by Ji Mingyuan. When he saw Lu Jinghuai, he smiled and joked.
"Tsk, Mr. Lu hasn't been out for a while. Is he now a stay-at-home dad?"
Indeed, since Yaya was born, Lu Jinghuai has basically never gone out for a party. He goes home to accompany his child after get off work every day.
Ji Mingyuan's joke was without any malice, and Lu Jinghuai just glanced at him lightly, then looked away and sat down on the sofa.
Although there are five or six people here, only Ji Mingyuan and Liang Huo have a close enough relationship with Lu Jinghuai to tease him.
But Lu Jinghuai is still Liang Huo's future brother-in-law, so Liang Huo is much more obedient when facing Lu Jinghuai.
Ji Mingyuan also felt a little bored, and after a couple of "tsk tsk" sounds, he sat down again.
Ji Mingyuan has shares in this bar, so they usually come here for small gatherings and drinks. Some of them are heirs of the family, or smart people with strong abilities.
Therefore, there is a bottom line. I won’t do anything rash or dirty. For example, today, drinking is just simple drinking.
However, while drinking, they would also talk about some situations in North City and joke with each other.
Lu Jinghuai didn't participate much. He leaned on the sofa and didn't drink much. Lin Yan didn't like the smell of alcohol and she had a daughter at home.
Suddenly, Ji Mingyuan sat down beside him. Lu Jinghuai realized what he wanted to say and glanced over.
Ji Mingyuan was silent for a moment, then he spoke: "Is Liao Wen back?"
Lu Jinghuai glanced at him, put down his phone and drank the wine, and said "hmm" lightly.
He knew that Liao Wen was coming back today because Lin Yan had said last night that she would take a leave to pick up Liao Wen at the airport. Ji Mingyuan also knew about it at the first time. It could only be said that Ji Mingyuan was still paying attention to Liao Wen, so he did not intend to deny or hide it.
Ji Mingyuan curled the corners of his mouth, as if he wanted to ask something, but for some reason he didn't ask.
Liang Huo, who was standing by, had heard what the two of them were saying. He frowned and reminded Ji Mingyuan, "Don't do anything stupid. You're engaged now."
Ji Mingyuan smiled bitterly, drank the wine in the glass, and finally said: "I know..."
"How could I do something stupid? How could I dare to do something stupid? I'm getting married soon."
His future wife is also the daughter of a wealthy family. She has a good personality and comes from a better family. She is a good match for the Ji family.
If his wife knew that he was still thinking about Liao Wen, Liao Wen's peaceful life would be gone. He could not let his selfishness affect Liao Wen's life.
"I'm glad you know." Lu Jinghuai said lightly.
Ji Mingyuan drank another glass of wine, a smile appeared on his lips again, and he sneered.
"My younger brother has been making moves again recently, and I don't want him to catch me."
Ji Mingyuan was talking about one of his father's illegitimate children, Ji Yaohui, who was three months younger than Ji Mingyuan and was the son of Ji Mingyuan's most beloved mistress.
Ji Mingyuan's father wanted to give the Ji Group to that illegitimate child, but the old man of the Ji family disagreed.
The reason why the old man of the Ji family disagreed was not because he doted on his grandson Ji Mingyuan, but because he was old-fashioned and believed that children born in wedlock were the legitimate ones.
Even so, Mr. Ji was still no match for his own son, so Ji Yaohui still joined the Ji family company and took the position of department manager. Ji Mingyuan's father also gave Ji Yaohui 5% of the shares as compensation.
In the past few years, Ji Yaohui was relatively well-behaved in the company. However, in recent years, Mr. Ji's health has been getting worse and worse. Ji Mingyuan's father and Ji Yaohui became restless again and started to make some small moves.
In addition, because Ji's shares are relatively scattered, even before any problems arise on Mr. Ji's side, some shareholders of Ji Group are already feeling restless.
If the old man really passed away that day, whether Ji Mingyuan was capable or not, he might really be kicked out of the Ji Group.
Seeing that Ji Mingyuan was still calm, Lu Jinghuai understood the truth and withdrew his gaze. He didn't say anything more. The more he said, the more he would feel stuck.
Ji Mingyuan drank one last glass of wine and stopped talking. He just leaned on the sofa, not knowing what he was thinking about.
"It just feels quite boring." Ji Mingyuan smiled bitterly. Lu Jinghuai and Liang Huo didn't say anything to persuade him.
I have to remind you that the few sentences just now are enough. Ji Mingyuan is a smart man.
Today this is just a drunken slip of the tongue, and tomorrow will be the same.
In the end, Lu Jinghuai was not sure what time this gathering ended, because he simply had a few drinks and got up at ten o'clock to go back.
Ji Mingyuan was still a little dissatisfied: "Look at you, you came last and left first, is that right? You have to drink three cups as punishment before you can go back."
Lu Jinghuai ignored him completely. He just glanced at him lightly and then looked away. Of course, he didn't drink the wine.
