Su Tiantian and Liu Jingze were not surprised when they saw Lai Jianhao at the door of the Liu family villa.
The person he had an appointment with was He Yiyuan. Given the relationship between Lai Jianhao and He Yiyuan, it was normal for him to come along. He was probably afraid that He Yiyuan was too young to control him.
Su Tiantian's mentality was a bit conflicted. Lai Jianhao was on guard against people including her father-in-law and her husband's uncle, but Lai Jianhao had been kind to her and promoted her. What could she do? She could only ignore it. After all, the people on both sides were experienced businessmen and would not let her suffer any loss.
What made Su Tiantian feel strange was that there was another person who came with them - Xu Runzhi.
Lai Jianhao smiled and said, "Tiantian, are you surprised to see your brother Xu?"
Xu Runzhi said: "Jingze, Tiantian, it's been a long time since we last met."
Su Tiantian and Liu Jingze nodded and smiled quickly.
Liu Jingze said with a hint of complaint, "Boss He, if you want to bring Boss Lai and Vice Boss Xu here, please tell me earlier so I can prepare them. Otherwise, we won't even have enough rice dumplings to eat later."
He Yiyuan joked, "I don't care. I heard that Mr. Liu made several kinds of zongzi, and Sister Tiantian made them specially. If there's not enough, I'll just eat Sister Tiantian's portion."
Su Tiantian, who was holding Liu Jingze's arm, smiled slyly: "Boss Lai, since you want to bring a surprise for me, why not bring one more? Where is Shishi?"
The smile on Lai Jianhao's face froze instantly: "You are such a good Tiantian! You clearly know that on holidays like this, my father-in-law will fight with me for my wife and daughter. If you want to see Shishi, go ask Mrs. Lai."
Su Tiantian said: "I won't ask about Mrs. Lai. You are asking me to find out where Mrs. Lai is."
Liu Jingze said: "Everyone, please come in and take a seat."
He Yiyuan said: "Okay, thank you Brother Jingze."
Lai Jianhao turned around and said, "Take the things down."
I saw four bodyguards coming over with several bags of gifts.
Su Tiantian said, "Mr. Lai, you brought so many gifts?"
Lai Jianhao said, "Today is Mrs. Liu's birthday, and tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival holiday. Isn't it normal to bring some gifts? Mrs. Lai asked me to bring some to you."
Liu Jingze said: "Mr. Lai is too polite. Please come in."
After entering the door, four bodyguards put down the gifts, and Yun Suiyang led people to put the gifts away.
Looking at Guo Qianan pouring tea for everyone, He Yiyuan said, "So Young Master Guo arrived early this morning."
Guo Qi'an said, "I'm only five minutes earlier than you. I didn't expect you, Mr. He, to arrive early."
Seeing Guo Qian'an being so attentive, Liu Jingze put down the teacup he had picked up, sat up straight, crossed his arms, and said coldly, "Guo Qian'an, you're a little weird today. If you have something to say, just say it directly."
Su Tiantian was sitting on Liu Jingze's left, so Guo Qi'an sat on Liu Jingze's right and looked at him cautiously: "Brother Jingze..."
Liu Jingze said bluntly: "Why don't you just call me Mr. Liu, or Jingze? I remember you didn't want to call me Brother Jingze."
Guo Qi'an's round face said sincerely, "Grandpa always said that Brother Jingze wouldn't be stingy. Can I call you Brother Jingze from now on?"
Liu Jingze said, "Okay, since we've brought up Grandpa Guo, you can call him whatever you like. So what do you want to say?"
Guo Qi'an asked with concern: "Brother Jingze, are you in pain?"
Liu Jingze was stunned for a moment, then immediately regained his composure and said, "Come with me."
Liu Jingze stood up slowly and said, "Mr. He, Mr. Lai, the agreed time has not yet arrived. My uncle is still busy with work, so I can only meet you later."
He Yiyuan said: "Okay, I wanted to come earlier and chat with Sister Tiantian."
Liu Jingze said, "Tiantian, please take care of the guests. An and I have something to take care of."
Su Tiantian said: "Okay."
The two came to the study on the third floor.
Liu Jingze sat in the office chair behind his desk and said, "Tell me, what did you want to say just now?"
Guo Qi'an sat down on the chair in front of the desk, his expression distressed. "Your cousin said you were beaten. He said Uncle Liu was there at the time, but he couldn't stop it."
After hearing what Guo Qi'an said, Liu Jingze was a little surprised, but his face remained calm and composed. "Where did you meet A Yu? What else did he say?"
Guo Qi'an said, "I saw him at the farm. Brother Xi was with him. Your uncle, Master Ren Wu, was also there. A Yu was very angry and said Master Ren Wu had hit you. He didn't want to go home, and Master Ren Wu tried to comfort him for a long time."
Liu Jingze said: "Ayu has a bit of a childish temper, but I guess he is no longer angry now. I thought he went back to the hotel."
Guo Qi'an said, "By the way, later on, A Yu seemed to say that you bought something and promised to give him something. Master Ren Wu's face really didn't look good. Brother Jingze, are you okay? Are you seriously injured?"
Liu Jingze was unrestrained, tapping the tabletop with his fingers, and said in a nonchalant tone, "Do you think I'm seriously injured?"
Guo Qi'an said, "Isn't it because I'm afraid you'll act tough? I'm worried about you. I haven't dared to get angry with you lately, and I told Brother Bo not to get angry with you. But judging by Sister Tiantian's expression, you think it's not too serious, right?"
Liu Jingze said, "Guo Qi'an, I don't know if you're here to gossip or to show concern for me. Actually, my uncle hit me twice with a feather duster. The doctor checked me out and there's nothing serious. Are you satisfied?"
Guo Qi'an's expression softened, and he quickly said, "Of course I care about you. Doesn't your uncle really like you? What did you do to make him beat you?"
Liu Jingze had a faint smile on his lips: "Isn't your current behavior gossiping? I won't tell you."
Guo Qi'an quickly stood up and walked around the desk, then walked over to Liu Jingze, hugged him, and said, "Brother Jingze, you're making me so sad. I've been your assistant for a year, and you're so reluctant to let me know half of what I've learned. Your curiosity is killing me."
Liu Jingze's gentle and kind expression disappeared: "Your hand pressed on my wound."
Guo Qi'an said: "Poor Brother Jingze..."
Then he was pushed away by Liu Jingze.
