Chapter 18 Chapter 18 "When are you going to take that girl...
Xu Zhixi looked helpless, and only hoped that these two big brothers would not harm innocent people.
She turned her back to the two of them and heard Fu Chengze's voice, which was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry: "Mr. Tan seems to like getting entangled with other people's girlfriends."
"Someone else's girlfriend?" Tan Yiqing pondered the words and couldn't help but chuckle. His gentle voice was incredibly powerful. "If I remember correctly, President Fu and Wanwan have already broken up."
Hit the nail on the head.
Xu Zhixi glanced at him out of the corner of his eye and saw that Fu Chengze's face darkened in an instant. His gloomy eyes looked as if he would beat someone up in the next second.
It's so scary.
Obviously her feeling was right. Fu Chengze really wanted to punch this ignorant man, but he endured it because of his respectable status.
Xu Zhixi was wondering when he could leave when the elevator door suddenly opened, and inside was the person they were talking about, Wanwan.
She was only wearing pajamas, obviously she had rushed down and had no time to tidy up.
When he saw Lin Wanwan, Fu Chengze was stunned, and most of the hostility in his body disappeared in an instant.
"Fu Chengze, what do you want to do?" Lin Wanwan subconsciously rushed to Tan Yiqing and looked at Fu Chengze vigilantly, as if she was afraid that he would hit someone impulsively.
"What am I doing?" Fu Chengze sneered. He was so shocked by the sight of Lin Wanwan rushing to Tan Yiqing without hesitation that his aura dropped to freezing point.
Tan Yiqing took a half step forward and protected Lin Wanwan behind him: "Mr. Fu, please respect yourself."
Xu Zhixi: “…”
How bold!
If a domineering boss could easily give up the person he likes, he would not be called a domineering boss. At least he would force the melon down and chew on it to taste the sweetness and bitterness, and he would never let go easily.
Aren't they afraid of President Fu's revenge if the two of them act like this?
But this has nothing to do with her. She is just an ordinary civil servant who wants to live a stable life. It is better for her not to get involved in such unrealistic and troublesome things.
The more you know, the faster you die.
In order to avoid missing the elevator again, Xu Zhixi hurried into the elevator after coming to his senses.
Before the elevator door closed, she saw Xiao Baihua reach out and hold the hand of the gentle male second. Her red eyes looked straight at President Fu, and she suppressed her emotions: "Fu Chengze, I already have a boyfriend now..."
The elevator door closed completely and slowly rose.
Xu Zhixi never expected that the little white flower heroine would fall into the arms of the gentle male second.
But this is just angry talk, right?
This was a despicable move, deliberately intended to make President Fu give up this relationship. Although the method was old-fashioned, for President Fu, who was a proud son of heaven, being so ruthlessly abandoned by his girlfriend should have had some effect.
At least at this moment, he really wanted to kill Mr. Tan.
Xu Zhixi didn't know what happened next. When she returned home, she saw Miaomiao coming out to greet her. She quickly put down the bags in her hands, hugged Miaomiao in her arms, and sat on the sofa.
"Little Miaomiao." She touched its head, "Did you miss me?"
Miaomiao meowed and then struggled to see what she bought.
Xu Zhixi laughed, took out a can of staple food from the bag, and shook it in front of it: "Does our Miaomiao want to eat this?"
Miaomiao screamed even louder.
The canned food was extremely attractive to the kitten. It kept rubbing against her with its tail raised, begging for the canned food.
Xu Zhixi's heart melted. He opened the can and put it on the ground for the baby to eat. Then he took off his shoes and sat cross-legged on the sofa. He was thinking about sitting for a while before going to study, when his father suddenly called.
Because Xu Zhixi was going home in two days, her father was worried that she might not prepare things properly, so he called her in advance to give her some instructions.
After a few casual opening remarks, Dad Xu got to the point: "Don't bring too much stuff. It's troublesome to check in too much, and it's tiring. Or, you can just come back empty-handed. If there's anything you need, Dad will take you to buy it."
With such an outstanding-looking daughter, Mr. Xu was extremely worried. He always felt that if he was not careful, his daughter would be targeted by those playboys outside.
There were still a few days before the holiday, and Xu Zhixi hadn't even thought about packing up. Seeing how worried Xu's father was, he couldn't help but laugh: "I know."
Father Xu added, "There's also the flight time. Don't make a mistake remembering it. Take it out and look at it from time to time when you have time, so you don't make a mistake and miss your flight."
"I know. I'll watch carefully."
Father Xu reluctantly relaxed. Suddenly, he remembered something and hesitated, "You've been at Hertz for a while now. How are you? Are your supervisors and colleagues getting along well?"
Xu Zhixi nodded: "Yeah, everything is fine."
"That's good." Father Xu said earnestly, "People in society today are very complicated. You should be careful. Especially men who show affection to you, try not to pay attention to them."
Xu Zhixi laughed: "Dad, I'm not a child anymore. I know my limits."
"Dad isn't against you dating, it's just that you just arrived at the new company and aren't familiar with many things. You're easily misled, okay?"
“…”
Speaking of this, Xu Zhixi felt inexplicably guilty.
She seemed to have been bewitched.
Seeing her suddenly fall silent, Xu's father sensitively noticed something was wrong: "Or, do you already have a boyfriend?"
Xu Zhixi almost subconsciously denied: "No."
"Why are you nervous?"
"Of course not." Xu Zhixi cleared his cough and simply played dumb. "I'm so busy at work, I don't have time to think about these things. Dad, are you too idle to ask me these random questions?"
The doubt in Xu's father's eyes did not disappear, but he did not ask again: "Just know it yourself."
"I know."
Being asked about her relationship status so suddenly by Xu's father made Xu Zhixi inexplicably nervous. She answered with a guilty conscience, not knowing whether he had noticed.
She and Song Jing had only been together for a short time, and she didn't plan to let her family know.
After the call ended, Xu Zhixi opened Song Jing's WeChat. No new messages popped up in their chat box. The last time they chatted was at noon today. Later, she sent him a message saying that she had returned home, but he did not reply.
It seems that I am really too busy.
Xu Zhixi checked her phone for a while, and after about ten minutes, she finally got up to go to class. She had wanted to share the follow-up of "The Domineering CEO Falls in Love with Me" with her girlfriends, but since it was getting late, she gave up the idea.
She had not yet planned to let her father know that she was taking the civil service exam, so she could only study secretly when she returned home this time. Her study time would be relatively reduced, so she had to study more in the next few days to avoid falling behind in her tasks because of returning home.
She didn't want to make her father worry until things were settled.
When she really gets ashore, she will give him a surprise.
…
The old house of the Song family.
It was already ten o'clock in the evening when Wen Lu arrived at the old house. He quickly got out of the car and rushed in like a gust of wind.
He came here specially because he heard that Song Jing was here.
It's no wonder he's so anxious. It's mainly because Song Jing's whereabouts are really hard to track. He's not always at the group, and he doesn't often go back to his old house. He's either on a business trip to another province or flying to another country. Even more outrageous, Wen Lu didn't see him for a full six months.
If he didn't have a good memory, he might have forgotten what his cousin looked like.
The last time he went there to deliver the cat, he had inquired clearly and confirmed that Song Jing lived there permanently, so he dared to bring the cat over. Unexpectedly, he still came up empty-handed and didn't see him.
At that time, he was wondering why his cousin lived in such a small and crowded house. Now he thinks that it should be his cousin's girlfriend's house.
so……
Are the two already living together?
Thinking of this, Wen Lu was even more anxious to know the situation. He wished he could get into Song Jing's mind right now so that he would know everything.
When the housekeeper Lin Ke saw Wen Lu, he was stunned for a moment, then nodded respectfully: "Young Master."
Seeing Lin Ke, Wen Lu's eyes lit up: "Uncle Lin, I heard that my cousin has a girlfriend. Is it true?"
Lin Ke said in embarrassment: "This..."
"Is it true?" Wen Lu was extremely curious. "Dating isn't a bad thing. Just tell me! Which rich girl is it that can win over my cousin, a flower of high status?"
Lin Ke said: "The young master does have a girlfriend, but I'm not sure who she is."
"Forget it, I'll just ask my brother."
After he finished speaking, he strode forward.
Seeing Wen Lu rushing in without any rules, Lin Ke's eyelids twitched and he followed him.
After passing through several corridors, they arrived at the main hall. Inside, Song Jing and Song Qiming were meeting guests. Chu Chaoyan came out with a fruit plate in his hand and bumped into Wen Lu.
Wen Lu braked in time.
Chu Chaoyan had a faint smile on her beautiful face, and her eyes were friendly as if she was facing a younger generation. She nodded and greeted him, "Master Wen Lu."
Now, both the Song and Wen families knew about Song Qiming and Chu Chaoyan's marriage. Although everyone was shocked when they first heard the news, they soon accepted it.
After all, in their circle, not to mention a 20-year-old marrying a 50-year-old, even an 18-year-old marrying a 60-year-old is commonplace.
But Wen Lu still felt awkward.
Chu Chaoyan was originally a senior student two years older than him in their school. She had just graduated not long ago, but unexpectedly, she suddenly became his aunt. It was really weird.
His expression was a little strange, and he replied calmly: "Oh, hello."
It was a bit difficult to get him to call her aunt. I could only grit my teeth and deal with it casually.
Chu Chaoyan obviously didn't mind. A faint smile appeared on her beautiful and elegant face, making people feel happy and pleased. "Are you here to see Master Song Jing? He and your uncle are discussing work in there."
Wen Lu hummed: "Thank you."
Incense was burning in the main hall. Song Qiming sat firmly on the rosewood armchair above him, while Song Jing sat to his lower left. Opposite him was Song Yin, an elder from the Song family's side branch and also a major shareholder of the group.
Wen Lu rushed in rashly and was suddenly met with three pairs of deep and sharp eyes. He was stunned for a moment, cleared his cough quickly, and then behaved a little better.
"Brother, uncle."
Song Qiming nodded: "What's the matter? Why did you rush over here in such a hurry?"
Wen Lu said with a playful smile: "Can't you come and see your uncle if you have nothing to do?"
Song Qiming smiled and exposed him mercilessly: "You will come over if nothing happens?"
Wen Lu couldn't help but touch the back of his neck, embarrassed: "Well, I came to look for my cousin."
Song Jing's tone became even calmer: "I'm busy."
Wen Lu: "..."
A sudden laugh echoed, and Wen Lu instinctively looked over. Song Yin smiled amiably, his face, now in his early fifties, frosted with age. He stood up from his chair and said in a low, mellow voice, "Alright, alright, we've pretty much finished talking about this. I'll be heading back now."
Song Qiming also stood up and said politely, "I've had someone prepare a guest room for you. Stay here today and leave tomorrow."
Song Yin waved his hand and said bluntly, "No, no, my wife will be looking for me soon."
Song Yin is a well-known henpecked husband. He and his wife met when they were young and got married in college. Now, thirty years have passed, and their feelings are still the same.
Song Qiming couldn't help but smile. It was a calm, peaceful, comforting smile, without any offense in it. "Okay, I'll take you out then."
This time Song Yin did not refuse.
After the two of them left, Song Jing sat back in his original seat and sipped his tea leisurely.
Only the two cousins were left in the main hall. Wen Lu walked to the door and looked around. After making sure that everyone had left, he turned back and sat down next to Song Jing. He lowered his voice and asked, "Brother, I heard that you are talking about your sister-in-law?"
"No. I mean, you found me a sister-in-law?" It still didn't feel right. He scratched his head, annoyance flashing in his eyes, "Brother, do you have a girlfriend?"
Song Jing put down his teacup and said in a low, emotionless voice, "Who told you that?"
"Brother Chengze." He sold the person without any hesitation.
Song Jing's low voice was ambiguous: "Then he didn't tell you that he broke up?"
Wen Lu's eyes widened: "What?"
The news had spread throughout the community: Fu Chengze had found a girlfriend whose mother was mentally ill, and even though his family disapproved, he was still determined to be with the girl. It had only been a few months, and they had broken up.
Compared to Song Jing finding a girlfriend, this news was even more shocking.
Wen Lu's focus suddenly shifted, and he couldn't help but ask further questions. However, before he got an answer, Song Qiming came back, so he had to put aside his curiosity.
"Alu, your brother and I have something to discuss. Please leave first." Song Qiming came back and sent the other person away. He said softly, "If you need anything, please go to Uncle Lin."
Wen Lu looked at Song Qiming, then at Song Jing, wanting to say something but stopping himself. Finally, he reluctantly replied, "I know," and obediently went out.
The main hall fell silent. Song Qiming sat down on a chair beside him, made himself another cup of tea, and said calmly, "When are you planning to bring that girl home?"
