Chapter 45
Everyone had their own thoughts during this meal, and Fang Xianze finally saw something.
He had never seen Yan Jiayu bring any other woman to party with them. During this period, his brother was either going to Licheng or Sister Susu was going to Shanghai. In addition, what Cheng Huaian said in Licheng, could it be that his brother was dating Sister Susu?
"I called your mother a few days ago, and she was so worried. She said that your third aunt already had grandchildren at her age, but you still don't even have a wife."
Fang Yaozhen said to Yan Jiayu with a smile while picking up some food for Rong Susu.
From the last time she had dinner with Cheng Huaian and the dishes he arranged, she knew what Rong Susu wanted to eat, and the place she chose today was also specifically to suit her appetite.
Yan Jiayu did not agree, and said with a nonchalant smile: "There is nothing wrong in the world, it is the mediocre who worry about it. Aunt, you don't have to pay attention to her."
Fang Yaozhen...
"How can you say that about your mother? It hasn't been easy for her these past few years. After all, your cousins..."
They all followed the old man's arrangement to get married. He knew what Fang Yaozhen was trying to say with his toes.
"If my mother was as busy as you, my aunt, every day, she would definitely not have time to take care of the affairs of my cousins." Yan Jiayu stood up and poured tea for Fang Yaozhen personally.
After the last test, Fang Yaozhen actually knew what Yan Jiayu meant. This time, her nephew was sincere.
She only revealed a few words when she was talking to her elder sister on the phone, and her elder sister hurriedly said that the old man had already picked a girl from a family of family friends for Yan Jiayu, and that he could play with this girl but not take her seriously.
This is not just a joke, it's a complete dive into it, Fang Yaozhen sighed.
The dishes tonight were all to her liking, but Rong Susu was a little absent-minded. It was not because of Fang Yaozhen's attitude, but because she discovered that she actually knew nothing about Yan Jiayu.
I only know about his work, career and his overseas experience, and nothing else.
At first glance, Fang Yaozhen mentioned Yan Jiayu's mother, and it seemed that she was quite concerned about his love life.
"I'm pursuing Susu. Next time when your aunt calls my mom, you might as well tell her." Yan Jiayu returned to Rong Susu and nodded at her with a smile.
This was the second time Yan Jiayu told everyone that he was pursuing her. Anyway, she had given him enough respect and it was not a matter of marriage. Rong Susu felt much more relieved and didn't care about other things. She just wanted to be happy at the moment.
Fang Yaozhen waved her hand and said, "Wouldn't it put her mind at ease if you told her yourself?" Yan Jiayu was obviously trying to stop her, and she didn't dare to take this job.
As everyone was talking, the hotel manager knocked on the door and came in. He politely asked that the actress Zhang Qianni had just seen Fang Xianze. She was a fan of Fang Xianze and wanted to ask if she could come in for a photo.
That’s nothing. Fang Yaozhen nodded, and Fang Xianze invited people in.
Everyone else was fine, but Rong Susu was stunned when she saw the person coming. Wasn't this the actress who had been trying to get close to Cheng Huaian a few days ago? But she should be below third-tier. She didn't remember her name and asked Cheng Huaian if he knew her.
Zhang Qianni greeted everyone warmly. Fang Xianze was not an ordinary kid. Those who had dinner with him were either rich or noble.
The one in the middle should be his mother, who is also his agent, as everyone knows.
She didn't know the other two young men and women, who had extraordinary temperaments, but she needed to leave a good impression, so she took the initiative to introduce herself.
The man looked older than Fang Xianze, more mature and stable, and they looked somewhat similar, so she guessed they might be relatives.
As for the woman, this face is top-notch in the entertainment industry, absolutely a gorgeous one. Why does she look familiar to me?
"I went to watch your game yesterday. It was super exciting. Keep it up!" Zhang Qianni expressed her admiration. Fang Xianze was not good at dealing with such situations. He scratched the back of his head and laughed.
As soon as she left, Fang Yaozhen immediately told her son: "If I'm not around, if you encounter people like this in the future, avoid them if you can, and avoid interacting with people in the entertainment industry."
Fang Yaozhen doesn't like these people in the entertainment industry, for fear that they will lead her son astray.
After dinner, everyone went their own way. Rong Susu had some food in her stomach, so she said she wanted to take a walk.
A gentle breeze blew by the river, and the sound of a ferry's whistle came from afar. It was so late, but the buildings on both sides of the river were still brightly lit, and people were coming and going. It was worthy of being the number one magic city.
"What are you thinking about?" Yan Jiayu noticed that Rong Susu was a little depressed. He thought it might be related to what Fang Yaozhen said during dinner.
"If it's what my aunt said, there's no need to take it to heart. My mom just has nothing to do and worries about useless things every day."
Does this person have the ability to read minds? He really knows what she is thinking.
"Look, you already know me well enough, including my past marriage, my family, and my career, but I know nothing about your career."
This was Rong Susu's true words. When she and Cheng Huaian were together, they knew each other very well and understood everything about each other.
But her emotional experience is limited to Cheng Huaian, Yan Jiayu is the second one, and there is no other reference to compare with. She is also quite troubled. Should she ask or not?
So that's what they were worried about. Their family situation couldn't be explained in a few words. Yan Jiayu explained seriously.
"Susu, I'll tell you everything when the right opportunity arises, but please believe me, my love for you is genuine, not just for fun."
Rong Susu had also noticed it just now. When Fang Yaozhen mentioned her third aunt, cousins, and the old man, she guessed that the Yan family must be a large family with complicated relationships among relatives. It was probably inevitable that there would be all kinds of comparisons and competitions, which could not be explained in a few words.
"I'm not forcing you. Whenever you want to speak, I'm all ears." Rong Susu smiled. She was not used to Yan Jiayu being so formal.
Rong Susu didn't force him to say anything. This was respect, not just control. Yan Jiayu was touched.
Since leaving home to study abroad in high school, Yan Jiayu has been trying to break free from the control of his family. Unlike those rich second-generations who are uneducated, he studies hard and gets scholarships, and basically does not use money from his family.
Because of this, he became an outlier in the Yan family. Although he was obviously the best among his generation, the old man was always wary of him and did not particularly like this grandson.
So after graduating from graduate school, he did not choose to go home, but came to Shanghai alone. He had academic qualifications and connections, was smart and hardworking, and he had reached his current position not by relying on his family but on himself, so he didn't care what the Yan family thought.
He once let him go, but now seeing him succeed, the old man feels a little regretful. In the past two years, he has made many good moves to win him back, but Yan Jiayu ignored them all.
Last year, he heard from his mother that the old man had found a girl for him, who was also an old friend of the Yan family, and asked him to go back for a blind date during the Chinese New Year.
Yan Jiayu went back home to spend New Year's Eve, which was a public refusal, and angered the old man. He scolded him for being unfilial in front of all the relatives, but he didn't care and went to Europe for vacation on the second day of the New Year.
He had never grown up in a loving environment and didn't know how to love others, but when he went to Rong Susu's house that day, he suddenly knew what a loving home was.
That was the first time he felt the warmth of family, his kind and open-minded parents, and his siblings who were as close as brothers and sisters, and who respected and cared for each other.
Rong Susu loves her niece, can act coquettishly to refute her parents' words, and can be blunt when talking to her brother. These are things Yan Jiayu has never experienced before, and he wants to integrate into it and become a part of it.
Yan Jiayu held Rong Susu's hands and solemnly assured her, "Don't worry, no one in our family can interfere with me. I have the final say on my own affairs."
***
The two were taking a leisurely walk when Rong Susu's cell phone rang. It was a call from "an annoying person".
Yan Jiayu saw the caller ID and pretended not to know, but Rong Susu didn't answer and hung up the phone directly.
"Why don't you answer it?" he asked.
"It's just a harassing call." Rong Susu felt a little guilty. It felt a little unfair that she was enjoying Yan Jiayu's pursuit while making money from Cheng Huaian.
On second thought, this is not selling myself, and the transaction is based on the consent of both parties, so there seems to be nothing to feel guilty about.
Fortunately, the phone calls did not continue, and Rong Susu breathed a sigh of relief.
The two of them were wandering around aimlessly when they were suddenly dazzled by the lights of the building opposite. Rong Susu looked up and saw the big words "Liming Group" right in front of her.
Cheng Huaian’s shadow can be seen everywhere. What a disgusting person.
Yan Jiayu also noticed it and said with a smile, "I guess this place will be covered with Xian Ze's advertisements soon."
Dawn Group got started with the game Dawn & Dark. Although games are no longer the mainstay of the business, Cheng Huaian still defines the game R&D center as a core department, and the annual budget provided is also very sufficient.
The new spokesperson will definitely be promoted heavily. It is estimated that by then the most expensive places on both sides of the river will belong to Fang Xianze's land.
"That's the hotel we stayed at last time. I dropped my phone in the pool and couldn't find it."
Rong Susu said with some regret that the hotel where they fell into the pool last time was right across from the Dawn Group.
That's not right. Last time, Rong Susu told him that she couldn't find her cell phone, so he specifically asked the hotel manager, and it turned out that the phone had been taken away by a young man.
"Didn't Cheng Huaian return the phone to you?" Yan Jiayu asked.
He deduced that it was Cheng Huaian's people who took the phone away. According to the hotel manager, the phone fell into the pool and was fished out by them, and it could still be turned on.
When someone came to pick up the phone, they also specifically verified the identity. The other party made a call and the caller ID showed "Qi Shuo".
"The person who came to pick up the phone is called Qi Shuo, isn't he his assistant?"
Rong Susu's heart sank. Cheng Huaian, you are so good. Not only did you stalk her, but you also took her phone and refused to return it. With his skills, he should have turned everything inside upside down.
