Su Yang was wearing a French dress, standing at the door, looking at the tall figure answering the phone. After a while, she heard him say "got it", hung up the phone, and turned to look at her.
"Grandma called and asked us to go back to Rongyuan in the evening."
"Aren't you going on a business trip?"
"Well, do you want to go?" Rong Zhan replied calmly: "The second room will be there for dinner in the evening."
Su Yang was slightly surprised, his brows slightly furrowed, as he had to deal with Fu Yueci again.
"Don't force yourself. I can help you refuse it on the grounds of work. Grandma and mom won't say anything. You can wait for me to come back and then go back together." As if seeing the concerns in her heart, Rong Zhan slowly raised his hand and hooked her hair behind her ear. His voice was cold, but revealed a not-so-obvious tenderness.
Qin Yu, who had just put down his luggage and closed the trunk door to report that he could set off, happened to see this scene. His face was blank, and he looked around in panic, then turned his back.
Early in the morning, before I even had breakfast, I was forced to eat a mouthful of dog food.
Not to mention, it was quite filling. He ate so much that he was completely stuffed.
Su Yang pursed her lips and asked calmly, "How long will you be away on this business trip?"
"Three to five days." Rong Zhan glanced at her with a hint of smile in his eyes: "Why? Can't bear to leave? How about I postpone this trip and let Qin Yu go by himself."
Qin Yu, who was standing next to the car with his back to them, twitched his ears, opened his eyes wide in surprise, and tried hard to resist the urge to look back.
"I'm not that reluctant." Su Yang's eyes were calm: "I'll take care of Rongyuan myself, you should leave quickly, otherwise you will miss the plane."
"Are you going?"
"Well, today is a day off anyway, and I have nothing to do, so I might as well find some fun for myself!"
Rong Zhan chuckled and put one hand into his pocket: "If Fu Yueci knew that you treated her as a joke, she would be furious."
Recalling Fu Yueci's sarcastic face on the wedding day, she couldn't help but feel disgusted. She suddenly felt that Fu Yueci and Xu Yi should be a good match. She inexplicably had the urge to set up a stage for the two of them to compete with each other.
See who is more hypocritical.
After seeing Rong Zhan off, Su Yang returned to the house, read a book while lying on the rocking chair in the basement, played with Bai Yue for a while, had lunch at noon, and took a nap until about three o'clock. There was an unread message on his phone from Rong Zhan to report that he was safe.
'arrive'.
These two short words, seemingly without any warmth, stirred ripples and throbbing in her heart when they met her bright and calm eyes.
Just after five o'clock, the sun was setting, and Su Yang drove to Rong Garden. The housekeeper who had been serving Mrs. Rong came out to greet him personally.
The breeze rustled the bamboo leaves in the Rongyuan courtyard, bringing a sense of the peaceful time as dusk fell.
After passing through the courtyard and arriving at the living room, Yun Chuxian came up to them with a smile, took Su Yang's hand and greeted them gently.
Sitting in the living room was a middle-aged lady, who looked decent and well-maintained. Her dress was a bit luxurious and ostentatious, but her temperament was obviously inferior to that of the elegant and dignified Yun Chuxian.
"Aunt."
Su Yang smiled faintly and simply nodded to the middle-aged lady in greeting.
"Oh, Su Yang is here. I haven't seen you for half a month. You've become more handsome." Fu Yueci held her hand and acted condescendingly like an elder. He looked at her with a sidelong glance and spoke in a sarcastic tone.
"Aunt, you're too kind. I think you look better lately." Su Yang said calmly, imitating her polite words in an emotionless tone.
"Sister-in-law is so lucky. Not only is Ah Zhan so outstanding, but now she has such a lovely daughter-in-law by her side. She is beautiful, sweet-mouthed, and good at talking. I am a little envious. I don't know when I can have such a blessing."
Fu Yueci didn't take her half-truthful words to heart, but Su Yang's unenthusiastic and cold attitude made her feel uncomfortable, so she smiled and greeted Yun Chuxian.
Yun Chuxian glanced at the handsome boy sitting next to him, smiled and glared at Fu Yueci: "What are you talking about, sister-in-law? Isn't Ah Yi good enough? He is handsome, capable, and most importantly, has a good temper. He is a gentle and elegant gentleman, unlike my Ah Zhan who has a bad temper. Isn't it just a matter of time for him to find a girlfriend?"
Rong Yi felt a little embarrassed by what Yun Chuxian said. He smiled with his eyes slightly lowered and said nothing.
After a while, the old lady came out slowly, twisting her Buddhist beads. Seeing Su Yang, she happily pulled him aside to greet him for a few words, and finally her eyes fell on Rong Yi: "It's been a while since I last saw you, Yi. You've lost weight. No matter how busy you are at work, you must remember to eat and rest."
"Yes, grandson has made note of it. Thank you for your concern, grandma." Rong Yi responded softly, with a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth.
After sitting down in the living room, Fu Yueci approached the old lady very enthusiastically and actively, smiling and asking about her well-being, showing all kinds of concern and consideration.
Su Yang watched coldly from the sidelines, and he could tell that the old lady was quite fond of and valued her grandson Rong Yi.
In addition, Fu Yueci was good at flattering and observing people's words and expressions, so he could always make the old lady smile.
Therefore, even though she was kicked out of the Rong family tree, after so many years, she can still go back to Rong Garden to have dinner with the old lady, which shows that Fu Yueci still has some skills.
Soon, the housekeeper came forward and said that dinner was ready, and then Mrs. Rong stood up and led them to the elegant hall for dinner.
The old lady sat in the main seat, with Yun Chuxian and Fu Yueci sitting on her left and right, and below her were Su Yang and Rong Yi.
"Chuxian, is Xier coming back soon?" After picking up her chopsticks, the old lady looked around with her aged eyes and suddenly asked slowly.
"Yes, her studies will almost be completed next month." Yun Chuxian nodded with a smile.
"This girl didn't come back during the Chinese New Year last year. It's been more than a year since she last came back. I miss her a little bit."
"Then mom, you'd better be careful. That girl has been very noisy and might disturb your peace." Yun Chuxian laughed and joked while putting a piece of meat on the old lady's plate.
"When you get older, you like to be lively. I'm looking forward to that girl coming back soon." The old lady smiled kindly, then suddenly paused and looked at Fu Yueci on the left: "By the way, I heard that you are looking for a girl for Ayi?"
When it comes to this, Fu Yueci's eyes light up, she puts down the chopsticks in her hand, and says with an excited smile: "Mom, you are well-informed. I have this plan, but I am still undecided. I came back today to ask mom and sister-in-law to help me with some ideas."
