Chapter 407 Do You Want to Join Us?
After making the tea, Jiang Yuxu carried the cup from the tea room back to the office to start his day's work.
After working for a few hours, there was a meeting at eleven o'clock. Jiang Yuxu picked up his mobile phone and documents and went to the meeting room ten minutes early.
As soon as he sat down, Jiang Yuxu received a WeChat message from Xu Yeqing.
Xu Yeqing: [Senior, are you free this week? Let's have dinner together.]
After seeing the WeChat message, Jiang Yuxu remembered that he had promised Xu Yeqing to be a good host. Although he had no romantic feelings for Xu Yeqing, Xu Yeqing had treated him well when he went on a business trip to Haicheng last time, so he should repay the favor.
Jiang Yuxu thought for a moment and replied, "Sure, I'll ask Cheng Mi to come along."
Eating alone would inevitably cause unnecessary misunderstandings. Besides, he was not good at chatting. It would be much better to have Cheng Mi with him. He could chat with anyone.
Jiang Yuxu and Xu Yeqing made an appointment to have dinner this Saturday. After deciding the time and place, they transferred the information to Cheng Mi.
Jiang Yuxu: [Let's go have dinner with Xu Yeqing on Saturday. It won't be so awkward for the three of us.]
Jiang Yuxu specifically emphasized "three people" to indirectly remind him that he must go alone.
But I guess Gui Qing doesn't have time to attend such a dinner party. Her weekend schedule is probably already fully scheduled.
After Jiang Yuxu sent the message to Cheng Mi, people started to enter the meeting room, so he put away his phone and prepared for the meeting.
Not long after, Gui Qing also came in.
She sat down in her usual seat, put down her notebook, glanced at Jiang Yuxu, and finally said to Xu Yang, "Assistant Xu, we can start now."
Xu Yang nodded quickly, "Okay."
He subconsciously glanced at Jiang Yuxu next to him. These two people were really weird recently. They didn't say a word during meetings, and even needed someone to pass on messages when they were face to face.
The longer this situation lasted, the more Xu Yang became curious about the reason behind it - these two people, one was very friendly to everyone, and the other was famous for keeping public and private affairs separate, what kind of conflict could have come to the surface?
Xu Yang wasn't sure if other people could see it, but he was already extremely worried, and there was no one to discuss it with. It was really suffocating.
A meeting lasted until lunch break, and after the meeting, Gui Qing returned to the office with her computer.
As soon as she sat down and picked up her phone, she saw Cheng Mi's WeChat message from a few minutes ago.
Cheng Mi: [What do you think Yu Xu was thinking? He was having dinner with Xu Yeqing and even dragged me along, saying it wouldn't be awkward with just three of us.]
Gui Qing sneered.
He had to drag Cheng Mi along, because Cheng Mi was so silent that he was like a mute. Having dinner alone with a woman would only make the atmosphere awkward.
Gui Qing: [Let me warm you up.]
Cheng Mi: [I'm impressed. A man in his thirties needs guidance even when having dinner with a woman.]
Gui Qing: [Pure love.]
Cheng Mi: [No wonder his cousin complained about him.]
Gui Qing: [Then you should teach me more.]
Cheng Mi: [Come on, it would be awkward for me to go alone, how about you come with me?]
Gui Qing: [Let’s look at the time.]
Cheng Mi sent Gui Qing the location of the restaurant.
Gui Qing took a look and then closed the dialog box.
She held the phone, her eyes falling on the back of her hand, remembering what happened in the tea room today. The dry and warm touch seemed to still linger on her skin.
Gui Qing put down her phone, raised the corners of her mouth, but her face remained expressionless.
——
Ever since Yan Zhici and Xie Yuan came to North City, Gui Qing has been living with them in the villa. She can have ready-made meals when she gets home from get off work, and her life is particularly comfortable.
Gui Qing has been studying away from home since high school. She became independent early, and because of Yan Zhici and Gui Yan's divorce, she rarely experienced this kind of family life.
It's quite enjoyable.
Xie Yuan cooked dinner. He learned to cook for Yan Zhici. They had a good relationship and Gui Qing was very happy to see it.
In fact, at the beginning, Gui Qing was not very optimistic about their relationship.
Yan Zhici is thirteen years older than Xie Yuan. Although Gui Qing is very open-minded about love, the age difference is still a bit too big. Moreover, Xie Yuan himself is not bad, and there are many women around him. The ones he had dated before were all of similar age.
When Yan Zhici first started dating Xie Yuan, Gui Qing was worried that she would be cheated of her money and her body by Xie Yuan because of her love affair. She thought that the two of them would not be together for long. But in the blink of an eye, they have been together for more than four years.
Although they are not married, the way they get along is no different from that of a married couple.
Yan Zhici is a typical career-oriented woman. She has a strong personality. She was born in a wealthy family in Hong Kong and has been spoiled since childhood. Xie Yuan, who always goes along with her in everything, is really suitable for her.
As for her father—
Thinking of Gui Yan, Gui Qing chuckled.
When she was a child, she didn't quite understand how Gui Yan and Yan Zhici, two completely different people, could get together. When she grew up, she finally understood that when people are young, they are easily attracted to people who are completely opposite to themselves, and then they expect to change the other person.
Yan Zhici is from Hong Kong. Her family has been in business for three generations. She is the only daughter and the only heir, while Gui Yan is a teacher at the Faculty of Arts of the University of Hong Kong.
When these two people come together, it's like Mars colliding with the Earth.
During the first few years of their marriage, the two of them were always competing with each other, but unfortunately neither of them could change the other, so they divorced two years after Gui Qing was nine years old.
Yan Zhici took away her custody in a very forceful manner, and Gui Qing had very little contact with Gui Yan afterwards.
It was not until she went to college and Gui Yan went to the United States that they met again. However, he brought his wife and children with him that time. Gui Qing then learned that he had remarried shortly after his divorce.
His new wife is a few years younger than him. Like him, she is a university teacher. She is the gentle and virtuous type. It seems that the family of three has a good relationship.
From Yan Zhici and Gui Yan, Gui Qing realized a truth: it is difficult for a person to change. If he cannot change before marriage, it is even more impossible to change after marriage.
But even though she understood the principle, she still couldn't control herself and hit a wall.
"Two-two?"
Gui Qing felt someone push his shoulder and finally came to his senses.
She picked up the chopsticks at Yan Zhici's reminder.
Yan Zhici looked at her suspiciously: "I noticed that you've been distracted a lot recently. Is it because of too much pressure at work?"
Gui Qing: "No, I just suddenly thought of my dad."
Yan Zhici: "Did he look for you?"
Gui Qing: "No."
She smiled and said, "I'm just expressing my feelings. If you had looked for my little dad from the beginning, you wouldn't have to suffer."
"That's not suffering at all." Yan Zhici smiled calmly, "I never regretted marrying your father. At least he gave me you."
"Besides, I really loved him at that time."
Gui Qing glanced at Xie Yuan and winked at Yan Zhici: "Stop talking now, I smell jealousy."
Recently, the atmosphere at dinner every day has been very joyful.
…
In the blink of an eye it was Saturday.
Gui Qing slept in, got up and went downstairs, and ran into Yan Zhici and Xie Yuan who were about to go out.
Xie Yuan: "Your mother and I are going to the supermarket. Do you want to eat anything? I'll cook for you today."
Gui Qing waved her hand and said, "I'm going out to eat with my friends today, so don't worry about me."
Yan Zhici: "Tao Jiu?"
Gui Qing: "No."
Yan Zhici became interested: "Oh, it's a man?"
