Chapter 64 Bringing me lunch from the company
“This is called cupping,” Song Xu had even looked it up online today and confirmed that it was indeed called that. Lin Xi wasn’t deliberately messing with him. “I had a headache yesterday, and someone did this to me.”
Song Qingshi then remembered that her son had a fever yesterday. "Your fever is gone?"
Song Xu nodded, "I felt better after taking the fever reducer last night."
"You still know to take medicine?" Song Qingshi was a little surprised. His son always endured his illnesses without taking medicine or getting injections, and refused to go to the hospital.
Song Xu seemed a little awkward. "It's just taking some medicine, Dad. Why did you call me up here?"
Let's get down to business.
Song Qingshi stared at Song Xu, his eyes sharp. "I heard you're keeping a woman in your apartment?"
"What do you mean by 'keeping women'?" Song Xu's expression changed slightly. "Who told you that?"
“I heard it from your mother,” Song Qingshi leaned back in his chair. “What I mean is, you should continue to support her, whether it’s true or not.”
Song Xu thought he had misheard. "Dad, are you kidding me?"
"Do I look like I'm joking?" Song Qingshi glanced at him sideways. "Lu Yunqi is going back to China. I heard the president of Jiang University mention that you're helping her with her enrollment procedures."
“It was Brother Yunzhou who asked me to help,” Song Xu said, not understanding the connection between the two things. “What does this have to do with whether or not I keep women?”
“As you know, the Lu family has always wanted to form a marriage alliance with our Song family. When Lu Yunqi was in China, she often visited you and Chenchen to play,” Song Qingshi said with a serious expression. “At that time, she was young, and your mother and I didn’t interfere too much.”
“I only see her as a younger sister, I have no other thoughts,” Song Xu explained. “As for the older brother, he is seven years older than Qiqi, he just treats her like a child.”
“That’s your opinion,” Song Qingshi frowned. “Lu Yunqi is an adult now. You and Chenchen need to keep a certain distance from her in the future. Your mother doesn’t like Lu Yunqi, you should know that.”
“I know,” Song Xu had noticed it a long time ago. When Qiqi was little, his mother liked her quite a bit, but as she grew older, his mother disliked her less and less. “Did Mom say why?”
Song Qingshi shook his head, "Don't you know your mother's personality? She's all about doing whatever she wants. She likes what she likes, and if she doesn't like something, she'll immediately turn on you."
"You and Chenchen can forget about marrying any girl your mother doesn't like."
Upon hearing this, Song Xu felt extremely agitated. "But what does all this have to do with whether or not I keep women?"
He still didn't quite understand his father's meaning; what kind of father would advise his son to keep a mistress outside the marriage?
“This is what your mother asked me to tell you,” Song Qingshi coughed. “She said Lu Yunqi is scheming and will try every means to get close to you and Chenchen after she comes back. She might even use some underhanded methods.”
"So you need a woman by your side to protect you. Your mother thinks the girl in your apartment is pretty good."
Song Xu was speechless. What kind of parents would come up with such a method to make their son guard against women? Only his mother could have come up with it.
However, he grasped a key point: "Dad, you said Mom likes Lin Xi?"
Lin Xi? That seems to be her name. Song Qingshi nodded. "Your mother seems to really like this girl, so you can raise her for now, but be careful not to let her have a child."
Song Xu stroked his chin. That's a good idea. If there's a little one, the big one won't run away, right?
“I know what I’m doing,” Song Xu said, picking up his hat to put it on. “Then I’ll go down first.”
“Wait a minute,” Song Qingshi took out his phone, “Don’t put on your hat yet.”
Song Xu looked at Song Qingshi in confusion, only to see his father holding his phone close to his face and taking a picture. "I'll send it to your mother to make her happy."
Haha, that's great! Song Xu put on the baseball cap; he's part of the parents' play.
Song Xu left in a huff.
Song Qingshi didn't even look up before sending the photo to his beloved wife, captioning it: "Honey, look how funny Xiao Xu looks!"
...
Song Xu returned to his office, tapping his fingers on the desk. Since his parents had already asked him to find a woman, he no longer needed to be timid.
Thinking of this, Song Xu opened his phone and tapped Lin Xi's chat window: 【Bring me lunch to the company.】
Knowing Lin Xi's frugal nature, Song Xu sent another message: 【Hurry up, take a taxi over, I'll reimburse the expenses.】
When Lin Xi received Song Xu's message, she was taken aback. Why did she need to run errands outside? Couldn't she just stay at home?
But considering the 20,000 yuan, her current job is still too easy. Well, anyway, she won't be delivering for more than a few days; she'll be going back to school in a couple of days.
"Is there anything you'd like to eat?" Lin Xi asked.
Song Xu replied quickly: "I like everything you make."
This sounds weird. Lin Xi put away her phone; it's better not to see it.
One meat dish and two vegetable dishes were served. Song Xu had just recovered from his illness, so he should eat more light meals.
An hour later, Lin Xi arrived at the Huayue Group headquarters building with a lunchbox in hand.
Lin Xi walked into the lobby on the first floor and, following Song Xu's instructions, took the elevator directly to the seventeenth floor.
As she walked toward the elevator, she was stopped by the receptionist. "Miss, which department are you going to?"
Lin Xi stopped and politely replied, "Hello, I'm going to the seventeenth floor to deliver some food and I'll be right back down."
"Please wait a moment, let me make a call." The receptionist found the phone number for the secretary's office on the seventeenth floor and dialed it using the internal line.
The person who answered the phone was Shu Xi, an intern who had just started working there. When she heard the receptionist say that someone was delivering food, she thought it was her takeout order. "It's my food, let her bring it up."
The receptionist put down the phone, smiled at Lin Xi, and said, "You can go up now."
"Thank you!" Lin Xi got on the elevator and pressed the button for the seventeenth floor.
Shu Xi didn't go to the cafeteria for lunch today because President Song didn't go. She heard that President Song had a fever yesterday and probably didn't have much of an appetite, so she specially ordered takeout: two servings of vegetable porridge and side dishes.
Shu Xi ran to the elevator to wait for her takeout.
The elevator opened, and Lin Xi saw someone standing at the elevator door. Thinking that someone wanted to take the elevator down, she quickly stepped out of the elevator to make room for the other person.
Shu Xi thought that once she accepted the delivery, the delivery person could take the elevator down directly. Unexpectedly, a girl carrying a bag walked out of the elevator.
"Just give me the food," Shu Xi said, seeing that there was no one else in the elevator, so the girl must be the food delivery person, probably from the restaurant. "You can go now."
Lin Xi was taken aback. She looked at Shu Xi and asked, "Are you talking to me?"
"Otherwise what?" Shu Xi said impatiently, "Aren't you the one who delivers food?"
Lin Xi nodded. "I came to deliver food, but not to you."
