Chapter 229 Is there anything I need to convey to him?
The house at No. 9 Songming Road has been vacant for several months. When Shuang Xu returned, Shen Yu was standing downstairs.
He seemed to have guessed that she would be back today. He said nothing else when he saw her, only: "The house has been cleaned, and all the missing things have been replaced. Go back and have a good rest."
Shuang Xu nodded and said, "Brother, can you please not let my stepfather and stepmother know about the deal?"
The news of her quarrel with He Tingzhou would sooner or later reach the ears of Fu Yun and Shen Changyuan. It would be even worse if they knew that the price of Shen Changyuan's safety was the deal between her and He Tingzhou.
"Are you afraid that they will be sad, or are you afraid that they will object to you and Tingzhou being together?"
"Both." Shuang Xu said, "I don't want them to blame themselves for this, nor do I want them to have prejudice against Brother Tingzhou."
Shen Yu looked confused, and after a while he said, "I won't tell them. Go up."
Shuang Xu said: "Thank you, brother."
After taking a shower, Shuang Xu lay on the bed with his eyes closed, and there seemed to be some kind of touch on his eyelids.
It seems that insomnia is contagious, and she began to feel uncomfortable with such quiet late nights.
Shuang Xu goes to work on time every day, goes home after get off work, goes to the hospital to see Shu Yang, and returns to Shen's house to have dinner with Fu Yun on weekends.
The news that she and He Tingzhou had broken up spread more and more. Fu Yun and Shen Changyuan asked at the dinner table: "Did you and Tingzhou have a conflict?"
Shuang Xu lowered his head to eat the food, and habitually picked out the green onions sprinkled in the porridge: "Hmm."
As for why they quarreled, Fu Yun was confused and had a lot of questions to ask. She comforted him, "When two people are together, there will always be conflicts. Your godfather and I still quarrel from time to time. It's okay to have conflicts. Wait until he calms down and have a good talk. Tingzhou has a cold temper. As long as he has you in his heart, other things are not a problem."
Shuang Xu nodded: "I know, don't worry."
Having said that, no matter how calm she appeared in front of them, she couldn't fake her own composure when she was alone.
The temperature dropped sharply after the beginning of winter. In the afternoon, she sat in the garden to bask in the sun until the sun set.
Shen Yu took the shawl and went to call her. From afar, he saw her lying on the table, staring into the air with her eyes closed.
Everyone could see that she was unhappy.
The two servants who were cleaning the yard were talking, and their voices could be heard faintly. When she heard the word "ting", she raised her head reflexively.
The servant said, "Go clean the pavilion and put blankets on it. It's been too cold these days."
Shuang Xu lay down again.
Fu Yun walked up to Shen Yu and blamed him: "I heard that you had a fight with Tingzhou, you too, how come you are getting worse and worse? You are already thirty years old, and you still fight with an immature boy. Tell me what happened, did Tingzhou bully Shuangxu?"
Shen Yu didn't say anything, so Fu Yun said, "Speak up. I heard that Shuang Xu went to him to make peace, but he ignored her. You don't know how sad I was. Our family owes the He family a favor, and that's what your father and I should repay. We can't let Shuang Xu suffer in front of him."
"The favor has been repaid," Shen Yu said, "Let's not talk about this matter again."
Xiao Feiniao has received very good feedback from users. Feixue is currently working on opening offline stores. When Shuangxu went to Yundun for a meeting, he met He Tingzhou once.
When she brought people into the conference room, he was already sitting inside, reading the concept store plan that Feixue had sent over two days ago.
When the door opened, he looked up.
Director Fan specially reserved a seat for her next to He Tingzhou. Recently there were various rumors that the two had broken up. When the two met, a subtle atmosphere lingered in the conference room.
Shuang Xu behaved as naturally as usual. He walked over, took a seat, and called out "Congratulations, Mr. He" in a businesslike manner.
During the entire forty-five-minute meeting, she did not look at He Tingzhou once.
It was not until the end of the meeting that she turned to He Tingzhou, who had not spoken the entire time, and asked, "Mr. He, do you have any comments on today's meeting?"
He Tingzhou then turned his eyes away from her: "Why is location No. 1 a paSS?"
No. 1 is an excellent store that Guomao is currently looking for tenants for. It is located in the center of the business district, covers an area of nearly 600 square meters and has two floors.
Shuang Xu said, "The location is very good and very popular. At the same time, we are also dealing with a well-known mobile phone brand and a fashion brand. Feixue's chances of winning are very small, so we won't waste too much time on this."
He Tingzhou directly instructed Director Fan: "You go and talk."
Director Fan observed the situation and immediately said, "I'll take care of it, President Shuang, don't worry."
Shuang Xu said: "Another reason for not considering it is that the rent is too expensive, which exceeds our cost budget. After discussion, we all agree that we don't need to take big steps at this stage, but just take steady steps. But thank you, Mr. He."
He Tingzhou turned the pen in his hand and said nothing more.
The meeting was over, Shuang Xu picked up his things and stood up to leave, entered the elevator, and pressed the button for the next floor. He Tingzhou came over from the direction of the conference room, followed by Xu Zhen and Director Fan.
He walked straight into the elevator. Director Fan was about to remind him that this elevator was going down, but he cleverly swallowed the words back.
Shuang Xu stepped aside and made room.
As if to explain that it was just a coincidence that he and she were riding in the same elevator, He Tingzhou said, "I need to go out for a while."
Shuang Xu: "Oh."
The elevator was very quiet. No one spoke after the voice.
The numbers on the display screen jumped rhythmically and decreased to one in silence. The metal door opened to both sides and Shuang Xu turned to him, as if he wanted to say something.
He Tingzhou put his hands in his pockets and glanced at her.
After a few words went around in his mouth, Shuang Xu finally said, "Then I'll go first."
He Tingzhou looked away again: "Yeah."
Shuang Xu stepped out of the elevator, and Feixue's employees followed one by one.
He Tingzhou stood inside, watching the figure disappear from his sight.
The three of them did not go out until the elevator door closed again. Director Fan turned his head to look at Xu Zhen, who silently reached out and pressed the button for the top floor again.
He Tingzhou took some time to go to the hospital to have his stitches removed. Xu Zhen, who was waiting outside, was typing on his phone. As soon as He Tingzhou came out, he immediately put away his phone.
He Tingzhou put down his sleeves, fastened his cuffs, and glanced at his hands: "Who are you chatting with?"
Xu Zhen showed hesitation, as if to say, "I'm hiding something from you."
He Tingzhou: "Give me your phone."
Xu Zhen handed it over with both hands.
After moving out of Taiheyuan, Shuang Xu never came to the company to find him again, nor did she send him any messages.
She could take the initiative to seek reconciliation with him without caring about other people's opinions, or she could calm down decisively without any hesitation.
This cold woman.
But she and Xu Zhen had brief exchanges every day.
He was asked to make sure He Tingzhou took anti-inflammatory medicine on time, to remind He Tingzhou to go to the hospital to remove the stitches, and just now he came to ask him how his wound was recovering.
He Tingzhou raised his eyes: "Did you do that on purpose for me to see?"
Xu Zhen clasped his hands in front of him and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. He, my acting was a little poor."
He Tingzhou held the phone in his hand and didn't return it to him. He walked forward while typing with one hand:
Why don't you ask him yourself? You don't have his WeChat? — Delete it.
It's infected, the doctor said it needs amputation - deleted.
It's obvious that Xu Zhen didn't say that.
He took a few steps forward, edited a new message and sent it over: [It’s done]
Frost sequence responded quickly: [That's good]
He Tingzhou: [Is there anything you need to convey to him?]
Shuang Xu: [No, thank you]
He Tingzhou: [He is in a good mood today, maybe he is willing to listen]
