Chapter 165 The Right Person
My parents were both stunned when they heard this, and then they all turned their eyes to Song Le, asking for confirmation: "Xiao Song, is this true?"
Song Le smiled, with a subtle complex emotion flashing in his eyes: "Uncle, Momo is right, but I am also old, and it is normal for my family to be anxious. But I looked at a few, but I didn't like any of them, so I let it go."
When my father heard this, he immediately tried to smooth things over: "Look, Momo, did you hear that? I don't have the right one. Maybe our Momo is the right one for Xiao Song."
I looked at them helplessly, "Dad, Mom, we are here to thank someone, not to go on a blind date. Please understand the point, ok?"
"Hurry and eat!"
I picked up some food for my parents in an attempt to shut them up, and then looked at Song Le apologetically, hoping that he wouldn't take it seriously.
Song Le smiled at me and picked up a piece of food for me with his chopsticks.
My dad and mom looked at each other and smiled when they saw Song Le's action. My mom deliberately said, "Momo, I'm going to the bathroom. You guys eat first."
My dad didn't even bother to find an excuse and just followed me.
I frowned, hesitating whether I should explain things to Song Le after dinner.
As I was pondering, a beautiful voice interrupted my thoughts.
"Isn't this Mr. Song? What a coincidence."
When I heard the voice, my body stiffened and I turned around mechanically. At this moment, I wished I could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Jiang Yichen originally minded my association with Song Le. Now, if I go back, he will skin me alive!
I met Jiang Yichen's dark eyes and my heart shuddered.
The arrival of Jiang Yichen and Lin Nan added a bit of subtlety to the originally peaceful atmosphere.
Jiang Yichen looked at Song Le with a playful smile on his face and asked half-jokingly, "Song Le, are you meeting the parents?"
There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone, which made my heart tighten.
I quickly stood up and clarified with a smile: "Boss Jiang, you misunderstood. We are just simply inviting Song Le to dinner and chat today. It's not as complicated as you think."
I tried to diffuse the sudden awkwardness with a relaxed tone.
Lin Nan gave me a meaningful look and said calmly, "I think Mr. Song and Miss Gu are quite a good match."
"Yeah?"
I could hear the two words Jiang Yichen squeezed out from between his teeth, but his expression was calm and composed.
The blandness scares me.
Song Le also stood up, with determination and courage flashing in his eyes.
He held my hand tightly, as if to pass on strength.
He took a deep breath and said to Jiang Yichen: "Jiang Yichen, I want to make it clear to you that I am indeed pursuing her. I know you have decided to marry Lin Nan, so I hope you can respect my choice and stop interfering in our relationship."
Hearing this, Jiang Yichen's gaze lingered on Lin Nan for a moment, as if he was thinking about something.
Then, he patted my shoulder gently and said in a calm tone: "Eat more, don't be hungry."
After saying that, he turned and looked at Lin Nan. They smiled at each other and then left the restaurant together.
I glanced at Song Le awkwardly and said apologetically, "Song Le, I'm sorry, I think you should stop wasting your time on me."
"Gu Mo, I..."
"I remembered that I still have some things to take care of. I'd like to trouble you to send my parents there later. Thank you."
I turned around and was about to leave when I suddenly remembered my parents' aunt's smile. I quickly turned around and added, "By the way, no matter what they say, just listen to it and don't take it seriously."
"Gu Mo."
Song Le wanted to call me, but I had already run far away.
At night, I returned to the luxurious villa as quickly as possible, only to find that the house was dark and quiet, as if even the air had frozen.
I wondered in my heart, could it be that Jiang Yichen is not at home again?
Where did he and Lin Nan go after leaving the restaurant?
Forget it, forget about him, I'll go upstairs and rest first.
As I was about to go upstairs quietly, a sudden voice broke the silence of the night: "Stop!"
The voice was deep and powerful, with unquestionable majesty.
I was startled and stopped involuntarily.
I looked in the direction of the sound and saw a vague figure in the darkness, standing there quietly, like a majestic statue.
"Jiang Yichen?"
I asked tentatively, trying to steady myself.
However, the figure did not answer immediately, but remained silent, as if observing my every move.
I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down.
I know that in this situation, any panic or anxiety may put myself in a more passive situation.
So, I mustered up my courage and spoke again: "Jiang Yichen, is that you? Why aren't the lights on at home?"
This time, the figure finally moved.
He walked slowly out of the darkness and turned on the light in the living room.
Jiang Yichen was leaning on the sofa, looking at me with a bit of amusement in his eyes.
He asked sarcastically, "Oh? Did you enjoy your meal?"
His tone was full of jealousy and dissatisfaction, and he was obviously trying to make things difficult for me.
I sighed helplessly and explained, "Jiang Yichen, I've already told you that I invited Song Le to dinner tonight just to thank her for her help before, there is no other meaning. Why don't you believe it?"
I tried to make him understand my position and attitude.
However, Jiang Yichen didn't seem to buy it.
He raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth and said, "Believe? How can you let me believe it? You and Song Le are so close, who knows what you two did behind my back?"
When I heard this, an unknown fire surged in my heart.
I turned around and was about to leave, not wanting to continue tangling with this unreasonable person.
However, Jiang Yichen suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled me back.
He was very strong and it hurt me.
"Ouch!" I cried out in pain and glared at him angrily, "Jiang Yichen, what are you doing? Let go!"
But he seemed not to hear me, holding my arm tightly, and insisted that I give an explanation: "You must tell me clearly today, are you happy or not having dinner with that Song Le?"
I was so angry that I was shaking all over. I yelled angrily, "Jiang Yichen, are you sick? Let go!"
My voice was sharp and raspy with anger.
Jiang Yichen's face looked particularly gloomy under the light. He suddenly reached out and pinched my chin, forcing me to look at him. His tone was filled with unquestionable majesty: "Try to say it again?"
I was startled by his sudden action, but my anger grew even stronger: "Jiang Yichen, you've become more and more crazy recently! I just told you that you're sick!"
I cursed again in anger and tried to break free from his grasp.
