Miss you
The whole audience was silent and the atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing point.
Hou Yongyan froze in place, his throat hesitantly rolling up and down, his knuckles unconsciously rubbing against each other, looking at Wen Zheng's angry face, he boldly continued: "Chairman Dong has been in the hospital these days, if it's convenient for you..."
Wen Zheng suddenly grabbed the white porcelain teacup on the table and threw it towards the corner. The steaming tea spilled all over the floor and the cup broke into pieces. With bloodshot eyes, he pointed at the group of people in front of him and yelled, "Get out!"
The waiter next to them was so frightened by the scene that he dared not speak, and tremblingly "asked" Hou Yongyan and his group to leave.
Duanmu Yu was disturbed by the noise here. She walked out of the side room and saw the mess on the floor and Wen Zheng, who had a gloomy face and was silent.
He walked over, patted Wen Zheng's shoulder gently, sat down opposite him, and asked the waiter to bring a new pot of tea.
The two looked at the dazzling night scene with neon lights spreading across the skyline in the distance, and did not speak for a while.
a long time.
Duanmu Yu broke the silence.
"The club has been open for so long, why don't you bring your sister to have some fun?"
The word "sister" was like an anesthetic that soothed the pain, allowing Wen Zheng to slowly calm down from his previous rage.
"She's too busy these days and has no time."
Duanmu Yu smiled and said, "There are so many people coming and going around me, but I rarely see you two siblings being so intimate. I can't imagine what your reaction would be if your sister found a boyfriend. Would you check her entire family history?"
"No."
Wen Zheng pressed his knuckles against the bottom of the celadon porcelain cup and suddenly pushed it down on the table, making a crisp and cold sound.
His eyes were gloomy and he spoke each word with emphasis.
"My sister can only belong to me."
Xia Tangyue was so angry that he couldn't sleep well that night.
I never expected that such a strange blind date would end up like this.
She tossed and turned, and only managed to get some sleep in the second half of the night. She woke up again early in the morning, feeling very nervous, worried that Gu Jiaping would continue to act unreasonably and delay her work.
Ah Hua came to the art museum with dark circles under his eyes. He appeared out of nowhere. He first greeted Xia Tangyue and then asked.
"What's wrong, Director? Why do you look so haggard?"
Xia Tangyue touched his face and subconsciously glanced at his reflection in the glass opposite.
"Are you very haggard?"
"yes."
She replied listlessly: "I didn't sleep well last night."
"I see..." Ah Hua's fingertips slid across the phone screen, "Let me arrange a home massage for you. Relax and you'll feel better."
Xia Tangyue shook his head and said, "No need."
She returned to her office, closed the door, lay down on the sofa, closed her eyes and rested, with one hand on the armrest of the sofa, supporting her forehead, looking listless.
Suddenly the phone vibrated and a WeChat message popped up.
Gu Jiaping: "Do you know you are wrong?"
Xia Tangyue sat up straight suddenly and opened his eyes wide.
What did he say?
Do you know you are wrong?
What's wrong? Where did she go wrong?
Not only did this dead pig have the nerve to come to her! He even made such a shameless statement!
grass!
A mouthful of blood rushed to Xia Tangyue's heart. She really wished she could reach into the phone screen and beat up Gu Jiaping on the other end.
Calm down, calm down, calm down.
She took a deep breath to calm herself.
Getting angry doesn't solve the problem.
She sent a message: "Are you free at noon? How about we chat in person?"
"Can."
She sent the restaurant's location and then took care of some work. When it was almost time for the appointment, Xiaoyu knocked on the door and asked if she needed lunch prepared.
"No need, I have an appointment with the investment manager of Furen Group to discuss something."
When he said this, Ah Hua happened to be nearby. He reminded him, "Director, are you going out? It's raining outside. I'll get you an umbrella."
Xia Tangyue glanced at him.
This young man has good eyesight. He was hungry and the food was handed to his mouth before he even said anything.
Ahua quickly turned into the quiet stairwell and sent a message to someone with his mobile phone. After receiving a reply, he took out a black umbrella and handed it to Xia Tangyue.
The rain is not heavy, just a drizzle.
Xia Tangyue got on the car holding an umbrella. For some reason, he felt that this umbrella seemed heavier than the others.
When we arrived at the restaurant, Gu Jiaping had already arrived.
He greeted Xia Tangyue as if nothing had happened. Xia Tangyue stared at him coldly and got straight to the point.
"Manager Gu, what exactly are your intentions? I think I made my words very clear that night."
"What intentions could I have, Tang Yue? Don't think so badly of me." Gu Jiaping stirred the coffee, and the bitter smile at the corner of his lips had a hint of resentment.
Xia Tangyue was not interested in his hypocritical tricks, his eyes were cold: "Then why did you block my plan, why did you say those ambiguous words in front of my parents?"
"I'm worried about you." Gu Jiaping said, extending his long arm across the dining table to touch the back of Xia Tangyue's hand.
Xia Tangyue suddenly got goose bumps all over her body and retracted her hand as if she had been electrocuted. At the same time, a piercing chill crept up her spine, as if someone was staring at her every move.
She turned around, but the diners around her were normal and there was nothing unusual.
Maybe she was hallucinating...
Gu Jiaping said to himself, "That night you said that man was your brother, but I asked your parents and they told me that he is not your biological brother. He came to see you so late at night, so of course I am worried about your safety."
"Your parents told you to get along well with me." Gu Jiaping leaned back in his chair and tapped the rim of the coffee cup with his fingertips.
"I'm also good-looking, and I'm a department manager at work, so the conditions are there. Besides..." He suddenly lowered his voice, his eyes wandering over Xia Tangyue's face, "I don't even mind you having a brother, but if we really get married in the future, I'm afraid you'll be unfaithful."
As the old saying goes, a lack of patience can ruin great plans.
But the chattering dead pig in front of him was really disgusting. Xia Tangyue endured it again and again, and finally couldn't help but explode.
She picked up the ice lemon tea in front of her and splashed it on his face. The amber liquid mixed with lemon slices poured down on his head, leaving messy stains on his expensive custom-made suit.
"Fuck you! Who gave you the face to pick on me? Who do you think you are to give me orders? Even those who live by the sea don't care so much about me. Do I need to report to you about anything I do with my brother?"
The resentment that had been pent up for many days was poured out through the fingertips, and the pent-up fire in the chest finally burned a gap for breathing, and even the fingertips trembled slightly because of the relief.
Gu Jiaping was stunned and didn't come back to his senses for a long time. He looked at Xia Tangyue in shock, his eyes full of disbelief. The tea stains on his lenses were still dripping down, reflecting her face which was distorted with anger.
The woman who was usually gentle and polite would actually pick up a cup and throw it at someone, would actually curse at him with such rude words, and would actually make him so embarrassed in front of everyone in the restaurant.
"You, you!" He stood up angrily and was about to roar at Xia Tangyue. But Xia Tangyue didn't give him the chance and yelled back: "The sister you are talking about is not your sister, but your daughter!"
Gu Jiaping's eyes widened: "How did you know!"
Knowing he had said something wrong, he opened his mouth and took a gulp of air, his face turning red.
In fact, Xia Tangyue was not sure whether Xina's reasoning was correct. She said that purely to trick him, but she didn't expect Gu Jiaping to fall into the trap.
Gu Jiaping took a deep breath and was about to start a quarrel with Xia Tangyue when his cell phone rang.
He didn't want to answer the call, but after seeing the name in the note, he was stunned and quickly picked up the phone.
Xia Tangyue didn't know what the person on the other end of the phone said to Gu Jiaping. He only saw his shoulders shaking as if struck by lightning, his mouth trembling, and he kept saying, "That's not the case. Please listen to my explanation...Okay, okay, I'll go back to the company right away."
Gu Jiaping took a few tissues, wiped his face hastily and left. Xia Tangyue was a little dazed.
Just...just left like this?
What on earth had happened that made Gu Jiaping let her go at this critical moment?
After the farce, the diners around focused on their own things and no longer cast curious glances.
Xia Tangyue lowered his eyes and fiddled with the knife and fork, cut a piece of steak and put it into his mouth. The tenderness of the meat mixed with the astringent taste of lemon lingering on the tip of his tongue. He suddenly realized that he was really hungry, so he began to eat happily.
Just at this moment, a pair of warm big hands touched her head.
