Zhou Sui didn't rush Zhou Meimei to give an answer, but instead gave her three days to consider.
The conversation between the two was brief. After locking the shop, Zhou Sui suggested taking Zhou Meimei home first.
Now that it's cold, there aren't many people outside. It will take Zhou Meimei half an hour to walk back, but for Song Qi'an, it's just a matter of stepping on the gas.
Since we've already waited a while, a little more time won't matter.
Zhou Meimei turned her head to look at the car parked on the side of the road and saw that Song Qi'an was also looking in this direction, but his eyes were on Zhou Sui.
"No, I can walk back myself."
"We all know each other, what are you embarrassed about? Let's go, we'll be there soon."
After Zhou Sui finished speaking, she pulled Zhou Meimei toward the car. Seeing them coming over, Song Qi'an also got out of the car.
"Brother Qi'an, can you take Sister Xiaomei home first? There aren't many people on the road, I'm worried it's not safe."
Song Qi'an didn't think much of it and nodded. Zhou Meimei didn't know why, but she suddenly felt relieved.
She was actually a little afraid that Song Qi'an would refuse, after all, when Chen Jiazhen asked him what his impression of Xiao Mei was last time, he didn't even know who Xiao Mei was.
That's so embarrassing, they don't even remember your name.
Zhou Sui opened the back door and let Zhou Meimei get in. "I'll sit in the back with Sister Xiaomei." As she spoke, she bent down and got into the back seat.
Song Qi'an closed the car door for her before returning to the driver's seat.
"Sister Xiaomei, can you give me directions?" Zhou Sui only roughly knew the location of Zhou Meimei's house, but she still needed to know the specifics herself.
Zhou Meimei nodded, her eyes fixed intently on what was in front of her.
"Is this the intersection where you turn right?" came Song Qi'an's deep voice from the driver's seat.
Zhou Meimei paused for a moment, then nodded hurriedly, "Yes, turn right."
In her memory, this seemed to be the first time Song Qi'an had taken the initiative to speak to her.
Because she had to tell them, as she was the only one on the bus who knew the way.
But in the less than ten-minute journey just now, Song Qi'an had already spoken to Zhou Sui several times.
The car stopped quickly after turning right. Zhou Meimei's house was on the first floor, and the lights inside were still on.
Zhou Sui got out of the car with Zhou Meimei. "Sister Meimei, you should go in now."
"Okay." Zhou Meimei looked past Zhou Sui at the tall figure behind her and said, "Thank you."
Song Qi'an nodded slightly, as if accepting Zhou Meimei's thanks.
Zhou Meimei spoke to Zhou Sui again before turning and going inside.
Upon seeing another figure in the room, Song Qi'an and Zhou Sui turned and left.
"Xiao Mei left work early today?" Chen Jiazhen checked the time and saw that Zhou Meimei had returned twenty minutes earlier than usual.
Zhou Meimei plopped down on the sofa and casually said, "I came back in Song Qi'an's car."
Upon hearing Song Qi'an's name, Chen Jiazhen and Zhou Pingjun reacted differently.
The former looked sullen, while the latter lifted the curtain to look outside, but it was too late; Song Qi'an's car had already left.
"Why don't you invite them in for a seat?" Song Pingjun turned his gaze to his daughter.
Zhou Meimei pouted, "Sui Sui is in the car." She figured even if she asked her, Sui Sui wouldn't want to come.
When Zhou Pingjun heard the name Sui Sui, he thought for a while before remembering who she was. "So what? She's both a relative and the boss. Why not invite her in for a chat?"
He often heard his daughter mention these two names, but he had never actually met them in person.
"People are busy going home." Zhou Meimei picked up a strand of hair from her chest and played with it.
Zhou Pingjun looked at her with a disappointed expression, and was about to speak when Chen Jiazhen slapped his hand.
"Alright, stop thinking about Song Qi'an. It's obvious he doesn't like our girl."
“They are rich and good-looking, but our Xiaomei is just as good-looking. There’s no need to fawn over them.”
If Chen Jiazhen hadn't run into Song Qi'an at the store that day, she wouldn't have changed her mind.
Marrying a rich man and having no worries for the rest of your life is certainly good, but it also depends on whether the man is willing to marry you.
Moreover, she only has one daughter and is counting on Zhou Meimei to support her in her old age. Her original idea was to find a man to marry into her family, but it would be strange if someone like Song Qi'an was willing to do so.
"Can't we try to win over Xiaomei if she likes him?" Zhou Pingjun and Chen Jiazhen disagreed on this point.
Zhou Meimei replied without hesitation, "I won't try."
"Starting tomorrow, no, starting now, I don't like Song Qi'an anymore."
If Song Qi'an liked someone else, she might have been able to shamelessly try to win him over, but he liked Zhou Sui.
To be fair, the Zhou family treated her well during her time working at the store, and she learned a lot from Zhou Sui.
She has a pretty good relationship with Zhou Sui; Zhou Meimei wouldn't do something like stealing someone else's man.
Isn't this ungrateful?
"You silly child, how can you be so casual about feelings, liking someone just like them and disliking them just like that?"
Zhou Pingjun wanted to say a few more words to his daughter, but Chen Jiazhen immediately expressed her opinion.
"Mom supports you. We don't like Song Qi'an."
"Mom will have the matchmaker keep an eye out for us tomorrow. We'll look for other men. There are plenty of other good men in the world."
Upon hearing that she was going on another blind date, Zhou Meimei wailed, "Mom, I don't want to get married right now."
She was initially quite conflicted about whether or not to go to the city, but thinking about the countless blind dates she would face in the future, Zhou Meimei finally came clean.
"The store in Suisui City will open after the New Year, and I want to go with them."
