Chapter 749: Aunt Wang will soon become a grandmother?
After parking the car, he took out a document bag from the trunk and said, "I have a cooperation plan for your father to see."
I narrowed my eyes. "So you've been planning to come back with me for dinner? Then why are you asking me where we're going?"
He took my hand and smiled gently, "I have a sincere heart and two plans. My wife's wishes have the highest priority."
My dad had already seen his car when it parked. We walked to the gate of the courtyard and my dad came out to greet us. His eyes lingered on our holding hands for a second, and he smiled like a flower. "Shiqiu's return is just in time. I just asked Mrs. Wang to prepare a few more dishes today."
Aunt Wang’s chicken wings were cooked quite well. I couldn’t stop eating and had already put down my chopsticks and started eating with my hands. However, Xiao Shiqiu was still eating very elegantly without even a speck of oil on his hands.
Ever since Deng Sisi left the house, my mother has become a completely different person. Her tone and expression have become noticeably gentler. She even picked up some food for Xiao Shiqiu and said, "Try this white-cut chicken. Sister Wang specially learned how to make it from a master chef from Jiangnan. It's the traditional method of three boils and three dips. The meat is especially tender."
"Hmm~" I agreed wholeheartedly. "I've loved eating chicken since I was a child. Of all the ways to cook it, this white-cut chicken is truly unique. There's a layer of jelly between the skin and the meat. Try it, it's the original flavor of chicken."
My dad laughed and said, "Mengmeng is a weasel. As long as there is chicken, she will hardly touch anything else."
Xiao Shiqiu smiled at me lovingly, and in the blink of an eye, he picked up a large portion of vegetables with his chopsticks and put them in my bowl. "My dear, you haven't even eaten a single leaf of vegetable in this meal."
He ignored my angry look and started talking about business with my dad as if nothing had happened.
"Uncle, please take a look at this plan. Can your factory produce the work clothes listed above? If so, we plan to change the supplier of our group's work clothes this year."
My dad took the information he handed over with surprise and said as he flipped through it, "Yes, of course we can do it. I'm not exaggerating. The quality of the products produced by my factory is definitely no worse than those of the big factories. Just leave it to me and rest assured."
I finally finished all the vegetables in the bowl, and I couldn’t even fill my stomach with my favorite chicken wings.
I put down my chopsticks and listened to them discussing the details of the cooperation. Suddenly, I felt my hand being gently held under the table. Xiao Shiqiu continued to talk to my father without changing his expression, but his fingers were drawing ambiguous circles on my palm.
After dinner, my mother quietly asked me, "Would you like to stay at home tonight? Your room is already cleaned."
"No," I glanced at Xiao Shiqiu who was on the balcony talking on the phone, "I have something else to do tomorrow, so we'll go back to City A later."
My mother hesitated to speak, and finally sighed: "Be careful on the road."
After answering the phone, Xiao Shiqiu sat back on the sofa. "Lawyer He called just now. He said that the Deng family father and daughter are dissatisfied with the verdict and want to appeal again. He also expressed his willingness to pay more compensation to seek my aunt's forgiveness."
After he finished speaking, the three of us looked at my mother.
My mother looked out the window, lost in thought for a moment, then turned back and said with a self-deprecating smile, "Let them do whatever they want. I don't need that little money. Even if Deng Xinrong sells the house, it'll only be 400,000 or 500,000 yuan. Why does he think I'd be swayed by such a small amount of money?"
I interjected, "It can't be sold. The house is no longer in his name, and his savings have probably been taken away by his brother and sister-in-law. I'm afraid their lives won't be easy when they get out."
My dad gritted his teeth and said, "It's what you deserve! This is called karma!"
On the way back, I sighed, "I'm afraid I'll be spending less and less time at home in the future."
Xiao Shiqiu suddenly said: "Actually, it's okay for me to stay at home with you for one night."
I fastened my seatbelt and deliberately said, "Really? Then let's turn around now?"
He immediately stepped on the accelerator: "Forget it, I suddenly remembered that I have a meeting tomorrow morning."
Early in the morning, before I got up, my cell phone rang. It was Aunt Wang calling, "Mengmeng, when I was cleaning this morning, I saw your wallet dropped in the entrance.
My daughter is coming to see me soon. She happens to be going to City A on a business trip tomorrow, so I asked her to bring it to you."
Many people think that as long as they arrive in City A, taking something with them is just a matter of convenience. However, City A is too big, and crossing a district is like changing cities. It is common to drive two or three hours.
"Aunt Wang, there's no need to bother your daughter. She might not be on her way. Why don't you send me a courier? That would save me a lot of trouble."
"It's not a bother, it's not a bother. She's already in City A, so why would she need to send it to you? Besides, I can't trust a courier with something like a wallet. I'd rather let my daughter deliver it."
I thought about it and realized that I really wanted to get to know Aunt Wang, but it seemed like there had never been a chance. This time was a good opportunity, so I didn't refuse. "Okay, then if she comes over, I'll treat her to a meal. I also want to get to know her."
"Hey~ I'll let Xiaomei contact you later." Aunt Wang hung up the phone happily.
The next morning, I received a call from an unfamiliar number. A clear, crisp female voice said, "Is this Mengmeng? I'm Fang Dongmei, Wang Zhaodi's daughter. My mother asked me to bring you something. I'll be at your school in about an hour."
I quickly said, "Sister Xiaomei, I'm really sorry to bother you. I'll treat you to lunch near the school at noon. Please don't refuse."
Fang Dongmei hesitated and said, "I'm with a friend, please wait a moment."
Then she called out on the other end of the phone: "Gangzi, a little girl is inviting me to dinner at noon, are you going?"
Although she didn't hear the answer from the other end, Fang Dongmei agreed quickly and happily, "Okay, then we won't be polite. My mother always praises you to me, and I just want to get to know you, haha~"
I like Fang Dongmei's personality very much. She is not shy at all. She brought her boyfriend out when we met for the first time. She really didn't treat me as an outsider.
"It's a deal then. I'll send you the restaurant's location."
After hanging up the phone, I thought happily, Aunt Wang is going to have a son-in-law? He should be a policeman, right? No, if she has a son-in-law, then won’t she be getting married soon?
If she gets married, won’t Aunt Wang become a grandmother soon?
Wouldn't that mean she would quit her job?
Suddenly my mood is not so good anymore. I have to take a good look at whether this guy today is really worthy of Sister Xiaomei. If not, let Lao Xiao introduce me to a reliable one.
When Huang Tianyi walked in, what she saw was my unpredictable expression.
"What's wrong? You look like you want to fight me?"
When I saw her, I felt like I had found my backbone. "Tianyi, come have lunch with me at noon. I've invited some friends to join us."
When I explained the whole thing to her, she rolled her eyes at me and said, "Why don't you become a screenwriter? People just take people out for dinner, but you even have to arrange who will take care of their children!"
Why are you so worried? "
