Chapter 151 Why didn't you invite me to have tea with my girlfriend?
"A man's likes are not to be taken into account. When he likes you, he certainly won't consider so many things. But if you want to continue your relationship, you must consider this. He is the only son in our He family, and the person he chooses must be worthy of him in every aspect."
He Wenjing wanted to say something but was interrupted by a ringtone.
Shuang Xu received a call on her phone. She saw the name on the screen and glanced at He Wenjing.
He Wenjing had already figured out who was calling from her reaction in that one second.
My goodness, she has only been here for a short time and hasn’t said even a few words. Isn’t the timing of this call too coincidental?
Shuang Xu was more surprised than her. She knew that He Tingzhou had a group meeting this morning.
"Are you done with the meeting?"
In the Yundun Group meeting room, on both sides of the eight-meter-long solid wood conference table, directors and executives sat in their seats in suits and looked at the president who stopped the meeting midway to make a phone call.
This kind of thing doesn't happen often. To be exact, this is the first time, which inevitably makes everyone speculate:
This should be a very important call, and a minute's delay could delay the fighter plane.
He Tingzhou leaned back in the leather chair, his phone to his ear, and in the silent conference room, he answered lazily, "It's not over yet. Someone in the conference room is watching me call you."
"Then you should just stay in the meeting, why are you calling me?"
"Do you miss me?" He Tingzhou asked.
The silence in the conference room reached a new level. It was subtly quiet, strangely quiet, and so quiet that his frivolous and lazy voice kept echoing in the air.
"...No!" Shuang Xu didn't dare to imagine that scene, and without wasting a second, "I'm dead."
He Tingzhou laughed and asked before she hung up, "Is my aunt with you?"
It is most likely that Lu Manman went out to inform on the matter.
Shuang Xu: “Yeah.”
He Tingzhou said simply: "Give her the phone."
Shuang Xu took the phone from his ear and handed it to He Wenjing: "It's Brother Tingzhou's number."
He Wenjing's eyes clearly showed misunderstanding, as she thought she had asked He Tingzhou for help, otherwise how could his call come so timely.
She picked up the phone: "Tingzhou."
He Tingzhou went straight to the point: "Why didn't you invite me to have tea with my girlfriend?"
He Wenjing said, "Look how nervous you are. I just stopped by to have a look and talk to her, but you called me in such a hurry. Are you afraid that I would eat her up?"
"I'm afraid she'll eat you. She's had a bad temper lately, and I've gotten used to her. If you say something unpleasant that makes her unhappy, and she gets mad, I can't save you."
“…”
Shuang Xu sat quietly on the sofa opposite, completely unaware of what a ferocious tigress she had become in He Tingzhou's mouth.
What he said was not serious, but He Wenjing was not a fool and could hear his intention of protecting others.
Her nephew wanted to talk to her, but he didn't call her, but chose to use Shuangxu's phone. Didn't she understand what that meant? She wasn't a cave dweller on the top of a mountain without a cell phone.
"Okay." He Wenjing said, "I know what you mean."
"That's good to know. Go back now." He Tingzhou's casual tone was firm and unquestionable. "Come and find me if you have anything to say."
He Wenjing returned the phone to Shuang Xu, picked up her bag and stood up: "Okay, I won't disturb you from working."
Shuang Xu also stood up: "I'll take you down."
After sending He Wenjing and Lu Manman, mother and daughter, to the car, Shuang Xu returned to the office.
I opened the document on the table, read a few lines, and then I started to daydream.
She had met He Wenjing a few times before. He Wenjing was a kind elder who could raise Lu Manman to have such a personality. When Shen Yu and Lu Manman were engaged, He Wenjing was still very cordial to her.
From He Wenjing's perspective, Shuang Xu could fully understand what she said today, but that didn't mean she could remain calm after hearing it.
If He Tingzhou was just playing with any woman, He Wenjing might not care. But He Wenjing was afraid that He Tingzhou would get serious with her.
Shuang Xu knew that He Tingzhou liked her, but his status was there, and his marriage was not just his business.
In this circle, family interests and power status are above all else, while personal feelings are such a fragile thing.
Her relationship with He Tingzhou had actually just begun, and they had not yet reached the stage where they needed to consider these issues.
But if you hold on to the mentality that there will be no results, it seems that even the sweetness of this period of time is filled with arsenic.
In the car.
"Were you the one who informed Tingzhou?" He Wenjing stared at Lu Manman, "Did you know about Tingzhou and her a long time ago?"
"Of course." Lu Manman flicked her hair, "I was the first to know."
"Why are you so proud? You knew it but didn't tell me."
"Don't worry about it. My cousin is such a grown-up, it's normal for him to have a girlfriend. Weren't you afraid that he didn't like women? He is not gay. Why don't you go and burn some incense to pray that the He family will have a successor...ah!" Lu Manman covered her head.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" He Wenjing knocked her head. "Of course it's okay for him to have a girlfriend, but it can't be Shuang Xu. Why did you and Shen Yu break off the engagement? Have you forgotten?"
Lu Manman disagreed: "What happened between me and Shen Yu cannot be blamed on Xiaojiu. Shen Yu favored her so much. In fact, as long as she complained and said a few bad words about me in front of Shen Yu, Shen Yu would believe her, but she never said anything bad about me. She didn't have parents to protect her, only Shen Yu supported her. Just because I cared, she didn't tell Shen Yu when she was bullied by Zheng Zuye. When I was speechless, she was the only one who believed me and spoke for me."
"Why are you on her side too?" He Wenjing thought to herself that this little vixen was quite capable and was really good at winning people's hearts.
Before she did anything, He Tingzhou protected her like a hero. Even when Lu Manman fell over her, he still stood by her.
"Xiaojiu is very good, you will know it if you get to know her. She has a purer mind than anyone else, without any twists and turns. If you are good to her, she will be good to you, and if you are bad to her, she will not be polite to you. She is like a mirror, and what is reflected is your face, so I like to play with her, she makes me feel like a great person."
"We can be friends, but not the daughter-in-law of the He family."
He Wenjing and she saw the problem from a different perspective: "The relationship between her and Shen Yu is incomparable to others. You suffered a loss at the hands of Shen Yu, and then let your cousin suffer a loss at the hands of her. It seems that our family has been manipulated by these two siblings."
“……” Lu Manman was speechless.
Damn brother and sister! They bewitched their cousins.
"Anyway, don't touch my cousin's head." She said, "He's a love-brain!"
