Chapter 64 Shao Tingan is suspicious of him
Shao Tingting brought out the last two bowls of chicken soup and handed them to Zhao Xinran with a smile, "Here, yours. You've worked so hard for so long, take a break."
Su Li followed behind with a smile on her face.
Fu Jinzhou raised his eyes and glanced at Su Li vaguely. She looked in good spirits and acted well.
"Xiao Fu, come, come, eat first. You must be hungry after a busy day."
Sun Meijuan picked up a piece of braised beef in soy sauce and put it into Fu Jinzhou's bowl, not forgetting to wink at Shao Tingting.
Shao Tingting understood, pursed her lips and smiled as she picked up some food for Fu Jinzhou. "Jinzhou, try this. My mom's specialty is ice wine. It quenches your thirst and helps you cool down in the summer heat."
Fu Jinzhou pursed his lips slightly, "Thank you!"
"Xiao Fu, don't be polite, treat it like your own home."
Shao Baoguo had completely lost his previous official airs and was now very amiable.
Fu Jinzhou had no intention of picking up his chopsticks. There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, but his voice was extremely cold.
"Before I met you, I thought the elders of the Shao family were unreasonable. Now it seems I was wrong. Director Shao must have been too busy, so I haven't seen you in the hospital for so long since your in-laws were in trouble."
As soon as Fu Jinzhou said this, the Shao family's living room became extremely quiet, especially Shao Baoguo, whose face turned red and white, as if he had been slapped twice.
"Jinzhou, come and eat. My dad has been very busy lately. He's been out on an inspection trip for a while."
Shao Ting'an picked up some more food for Fu Jinzhou, trying to ease Shao Baoguo's embarrassment.
Fu Jinzhou smiled and said, "Yes, Director Shao is busy, Mrs. Shao is busy, and Nurse Shao is even busier. It's understandable. That's why I said it was my own preconceived notion."
Su Li didn't expect that this guy would actually bring up her father's affairs, and a strange feeling came over her heart.
"Jinzhou, I've troubled you a lot with my father-in-law's affairs and Su Li's affairs. I want to give you a toast."
"You don't have to be so polite among classmates."
Fu Jinzhou raised his hand to block the wine glass raised by Shao Ting'an, "Let's drink chicken soup. Chicken soup is very fragrant. You can tell from the smell that it is stewed with a lot of medicinal herbs."
As he spoke, he glanced at Su Li, who instantly understood that it seemed that there was indeed something wrong with the chicken soup he had been given yesterday.
"If it smells good, drink a couple of sips." Su Li smiled and continued, raising her eyelids slightly, "Our Xinran's cooking skills are first-class."
Fu Jinzhou seemed to see something from Su Li's slightly raised eyelids, so he cooperated and drank a sip of chicken soup.
When everyone saw him drink, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief and started drinking as well.
Zhao Xinran had just taken two sips when a feeling of nausea came over her. She covered her mouth and was about to get up when Su Li pulled her back and asked in a low voice, "Xinran, what's wrong?"
Zhao Xinran whispered, "Maybe I drank too fast and my stomach is not feeling well."
Her nausea has worsened in the past two days, and she thinks she needs to go to the hospital tomorrow.
Su Li was afraid that she would vomit, so she comforted her, "Just sit down and relax for a while, drink slowly."
Zhao Xinran sat down again helplessly.
"Maybe the kitchen is too hot for cooking and he got heatstroke? Drink some iced fermented rice wine and see if that helps."
Shao Ting'an said as he filled two spoonfuls for her.
Zhao Xinran was secretly happy that Shao Ting'an still cared about her, and her stomach didn't seem to feel nauseous anymore.
She met Su Li's concerned gaze and smiled, "Teacher Su, I'm fine."
Fu Jinzhou looked at her, his eyes gradually becoming deeper.
Shao Tingting transformed into a gentle little girl, pursing her lips and smiling shyly, and kept picking up food for Fu Jinzhou, "Jinzhou, eat more."
Fu Jinzhou curved his lips and said, "I came here today mainly for something, and it would be better to talk about it in front of Director Shao."
Shao Baoguo was an old official after all. When he heard what Fu Jinzhou said, he felt nervous. He was afraid that this matter would fail. After all, this man had a bad attitude since he came in.
"Xiao Fu, eat first. We can talk after dinner if you have anything to say."
Su Li lowered her eyes and drank the chicken soup, as if everything had nothing to do with her.
"Xiao Li, don't just eat. Pick up some food for Xiao Fu. If he hadn't happened to be passing by, who knows what would have happened to you."
Su Li blinked at Sun Meijuan who had been winking at her, and reluctantly said, "Xinran, toast to Dr. Fu for me. I'm not feeling well anymore and can't drink."
Zhao Xinran didn't expect Su Li to suddenly call her name. You know, Shao Tingting has been waiting for an opportunity to get close to Fu Jinzhou.
So when she said this, Shao Tingting stared at Zhao Xinran with an unfriendly expression.
She was in a dilemma. She glanced at Shao Tingting and nervously raised her glass. "Doctor Fu, I'd like to toast you on behalf of Teacher Su. Uncle Su and Teacher Su have been giving you a lot of trouble lately."
After saying that, she drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
Fu Jinzhou didn't move the wine glass in his hand, and said coldly: "The Su family has been offended recently."
Zhao Xinran's face flushed and her brows furrowed, not knowing whether it was because of the spicy alcohol or because she felt guilty.
Su Li smiled and said, "Doctor Fu, most of the dishes tonight were made by Xinran. Her cooking is very delicious. This girl is not only good at studying, but also a good cook. Come and try some."
Her action undoubtedly made Zhao Xinran steal the limelight from Shao Tingting, and the Shao family members' faces obviously froze.
Especially Shao Tingting, the look in her eyes when she stared at Su Li was a bit more vicious.
Zhao Xinran hated Su Li very much at this moment. The purpose of inviting Fu Jinzhou to dinner tonight was almost tacit. Wouldn't Su Li be hated by doing this?
I did so much tonight, but it all went to waste after Su Li messed things up.
Fu Jinzhou looked indifferent, his eyes swept across Su Li's smiling eyes calmly, but he felt very uncomfortable in his heart. In order to attack others, someone like Zhao Xinran was pushed in front of him. Is this the role of a comrade-in-arms?
Shao Ting'an saw Su Li's thoughts and said calmly, "Jinzhou, at the ribbon-cutting ceremony for our factory's opening a few days ago, I heard from a colleague that they seemed to see you. Are you in such a hurry? Is there something at home you need to see Secretary Fu about?"
Fu Jinzhou's hand holding the wine glass paused slightly. It seemed that Shao Tingan knew it.
When Su Li heard Shao Tingan's words, the smile on her lips trembled and slowly faded.
Fu Jinzhou had no grudges against him, nor did they have any connections. The only connection was that he had been in the hospital recently, so did he suspect himself?
She appeared calm on the surface, but her mind was thinking rapidly.
Fu Jinzhou curved his lips and pulled out a faint smile, "There was something wrong, but it's all been resolved."
Shao Ting'an looked at him, seemingly unaware of the emotional changes on his face. If he didn't know that he was not a man who showed his joy on his face, Shao Ting'an would really have thought he was being too suspicious.
He had liked Su Li for so long, but Su Li hadn't noticed. If he hadn't seen it many times before, he would never have believed that Fu Jinzhou liked Su Li.
On the day they went to the countryside, the haggard and pale Fu Jinzhou was standing outside the window.
"It's good that it's resolved. Secretary Fu is busy and certainly doesn't have enough time to take care of the family." Shao Baoguo interrupted with a smile.
Fu Jinzhou knew that Shao Tingan was suspicious of him, so he had to remain calm at this time.
