Chapter 10



His cousin-in-law is a playwright. When adapting the novel, she respected the original work very much. The main plot was basically unchanged, and the emotional scenes were adapted to be extremely brilliant, which created such a popular drama.

As the original author, of course I will pay attention to it.

However, in his opinion, the male protagonist was too young and not masculine enough. He was completely unlike the heroic and resolute male protagonist in his mind and did not meet his expectations.

Now, Wen Ruo said that he likes Xie Qinglin.

What look?

Lu Xingyun put his hands in his trouser pockets: "You should go see an ophthalmologist."

Wen Ruo:? ? ?

Seeing her bewildered look, Lu Xingyun asked, "What do you like about him?"

In fact, she hadn't even finished watching a single episode. Wen Ruo thought of Zhang Jiahui's excitement when she recommended it to her: "He's handsome, especially handsome!"

Not handsome at all.

Lu Xingyun looked up at the dark sky.

After the designated driver came and the two got in the car, he spoke again: "Address?"

He roughly knew the location of Wen Ruo's home, but he was not sure exactly.

Wen Ruo said it.

As the car started moving, the man seemed to fall into a deep sleep with his eyes closed. Maybe he drank too much, so Wen Ruo didn't dare to disturb him.

When she reached the door of her house, she whispered, "Manager, I'm home."

"Yeah." Lu Xingyun responded lightly.

He opened his eyes only after Wen Ruo got out of the car.

The figure outside was getting farther and farther away, and he frowned.

It was also strange. Ever since Wen Ruo said that he liked Xie Qinglin and that Xie Qinglin was handsome, he had felt inexplicably unhappy. If he had known this earlier, he would have chosen not to ask. Asking would have revealed that he was a fan.

Will liking a celebrity lead to any result? What a fool indeed.

Wen Ruo got home late today.

Ji Yun frowned: "I said being an assistant is not good. If I were in the translation department now, it would be much easier. Why would I need to go to any dinner parties?"

She felt that the glamour and extravagance of the business world was totally unsuitable for her daughter.

"It's better to quit."

"We just had a meal, and didn't even drink any wine," Wen Ruo explained hastily, "The managers are very nice, and I'm not usually busy."

The colleagues in the office are also very nice, and most importantly, Lu Xingyun is really a good boss. If she hadn't been afraid that he would hurt his stomach and hadn't picked up the wine glass first today, he would have drunk it for her.

Ji Yun was a little skeptical: "Really?"

"Really!" Wen Ruo took out her salary card, "Look, I got my salary today. The company didn't delay at all and paid it on the 2nd."

"Yeah?"

Ji Yun and Wen Lixin both came up to see.

Ji Yun said: "Then let's do it for now."

Wen Ruo breathed a sigh of relief.

She really likes this job more and more.

But it’s too late today and I didn’t have time to buy the gifts!

The next day after get off work, she immediately went shopping in the mall and bought a razor for her father and a plain-colored silk scarf for Ji Yun.

The couple was so happy to receive the first gift their daughter bought with her own salary that they couldn't stop smiling.

"I'm going to visit grandma, uncle, and aunt this weekend," Wen Ruo asked, "what should I buy?"

"Your grandma likes to eat snacks. She can't stop eating when she plays cards. Just buy her some snacks. She won't ask you for money. As for your uncle and aunt, just give them a pack of cigarettes and... buy your aunt a box of milk. She likes it."

Wen Ruo did as he was told.

On Sunday, the whole family went out to visit relatives.

The Wen family has two brothers. After the old man passed away, Wen Ruo's grandmother Zhou Mei has been living with the eldest son. One reason is that he is the eldest son, and the other is that the house is bigger and the other two children are both living in other places. Unlike the younger son, a family of three lives in a house of about 90 square meters.

Zhou Mei saw her granddaughter and waved: "Come here and let me see if you have lost weight."

Aunt Lu Qin smiled and said, "Ruoruo's father loves her so much that he prepares meals for her every day. There are three or four dishes in one meal. It's hard not to gain weight."

Wen Ruo actually gained a pound.

She handed over the gift she bought: "I just got paid."

"Ruoruo is really sensible," Lu Qin praised again, "unlike my kid, who has been silent for months. It really makes me mad!"

Zhou Mei glanced at her and said, "You are the one pushing her too hard. Yueyue doesn't even dare to make a phone call, let alone go home."

Top students also have their disadvantages, Ji Yun thought, Wen Yue joined an investment bank after graduating from graduate school, and at the age of 29 he still has no intention of falling in love. As a parent, how can he not be worried? So, nothing is perfect. Although Wen Ruo from their family is not good at studying, he started working early and will definitely not delay marriage too late.

"Hey, Yueyue's conditions are so good, don't worry about it."

"It's easy to talk when you're sitting down. If Ruoruo still doesn't want to get married when she's 29, will you be anxious?" Lu Qin used to be proud of her daughter, but now, she is worried about her.

"It's hard to say. Ruoruo is naive. Hasn't she never been in a relationship?"

"Really?" As someone who has experienced this, Lu Qin hastily suggested, "Then let her go on a blind date, the sooner the better!"

Wen Ruo:......

As she sighed, Wen Yue sent her a WeChat message.

"Ruoruo, is my mother gossiping about me again?"

"...Cousin, your aunt is concerned about you, but I support you." My cousin is so outstanding, there must be a lot of boys chasing after her, but she just doesn't want to date.

Wen Yue smiled: "You found a job, but I haven't congratulated you yet. Wait a few days, I have a gift for you."

"It's free, cousin."

"Why are you being so polite to me? Just wait and see."

"Thank you." It would be hypocritical to refuse again. Wen Ruo asked, "Cousin, when will you be free to go home? Will you come back for the New Year this year?"

But there was no movement over there.

My cousin is very busy at work, and it is possible that she doesn’t have time to fall in love, just like my cousin, who is now busy taking care of his own small family. Wen Ruo felt sad when she thought about the past when four generations of the Wen family lived together in the old house.

Because of Lu Xingyun's cold indifference, Pan Lie set his sights on Wen Ruo's parents.

Recently, he often goes to restaurants to eat at night, and he would lend a hand to help serve the dishes, not considering himself a guest at all.

Ji Yun was very happy to see this: "Isn't this young man sincere enough?"

Wen Lixin sneered: "If someone is being nice to you for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief."

"He is pursuing Ruoruo, don't say such harsh words." Ji Yun was dissatisfied with Wen Lixin, "Do you want Ruoruo to be like her cousin and not get married at the age of 29?"

"I didn't say that," Wen Lixin wiped the table vigorously with a rag, "Didn't you see that Ruoruo didn't like him?"

"That's because she hasn't figured it out yet. If she's willing to try, maybe she can succeed. There aren't so many people who fall in love at first sight in this world. It's better to just get close."

Wen Lixin was angry: "You mean you can just do the same as me?"

Ji Yun was stunned: "What are you talking about? I mean Ruoruo, she is not like us."

She had been a person with clear goals since she was young. She knew that the husband she wanted was honest and reliable, so she married Wen Lixin. Knowing that she wanted a new house in the city, she asked Wen Lixin to quit his job and become her own boss. Unfortunately, Wen Ruo was not like her.

Wen Ruo has no opinion of his own.

As parents, how can we not guide?

"It won't hurt to give it a try," Ji Yun's tone softened, "Li Xin, I love Ruoruo too, but she will eventually get married. Can you and I stay with her for the rest of her life?"

Wen Lixin was speechless.

Ji Yun went out and persuaded his daughter to have a relationship with Pan Lie.

Wen Ruo was also aware of what Pan Lie had done during this period. He had now successfully won over his mother. Wen Ruo thought of Lu Xingyun's words, "Then explain it more clearly."

She called Pan Lie and summoned up her courage and said, "Don't come to the restaurant anymore. I won't accept you."

Pan Lie was unwilling to accept it: "Ruoruo, what's wrong with me?"

"…It's not bad, I just don't like it." Wen Ruo was not used to rejection, because rejection would hurt others, "You will meet a suitable girlfriend."

Is that a nice guy card?

Pan Lie planned to fight for it again: "Then let's meet one last time. I promise you, after this time, I won't come to the restaurant again. How about it?"

“…”

"Ruoruo, we have known each other for several years. This is my last request. I will treat you to a meal and that's it."

Wen Ruo thought about it again and again: "You won't regret it, right?"

She was really afraid that Pan Lie would come to the restaurant again, and she was also afraid that her mother would interfere again and again, which would make her even more embarrassed.

"Won't."

"Oh well."

Pan Lie smiled.

A few days later, he sent her the address.

After get off work, Lu Xingyun discovered that Wen Ruo was walking in the wrong direction. She usually went directly to the bus stop across the street.

Lu Xingyun thought, are they going to the Blue Night Bar again? Tomorrow is Saturday. Is she planning to play until midnight?

He stopped the car: "Get in."

The car window was open.

The man was wearing a black windbreaker with a black and white striped shirt underneath. She had seen him in the morning when she went to deliver coffee. The style was unique and very fashionable. At this moment, he tilted his head, his eyebrows slightly raised, his eyes like stars, and Wen Ruo's heart immediately began to beat fast.

Seeing her standing there stupidly, Lu Xingyun urged her, "Hurry up, you can't park here for a long time."

Wen Ruo came to her senses and saw a traffic policeman in front of her. She was afraid that Lu Xingyun would be fined, so she had no time to refuse and had to obey.

Lu Xingyun turned the steering wheel and prepared to turn.

"Manager, I'm going to..." Wen Ruo realized that he was going the wrong way, and said hurriedly, "I'm going to Tingfeng Pavilion, please drop me off in front."

Listening to the wind pavilion.

It was a very stylish restaurant, located on the 39th floor of Yinfeng Building, overlooking the entire Lianxi City.

Lu Xingyun paused and walked forward.

"Have you been there before?"

"No." Wen Ruo thought that she would have to look at the map to find it after she arrived at Luoying Lane.

"Who are you having dinner with?" Lu Xingyun didn't think Wen Ruo would be alone.

“…”

If it was her friends from last time, she wouldn't have kept it a secret, and if it was a relative, she wouldn't have kept it a secret either. Lu Xingyun suddenly had an idea: "Could it be with Pan Lie?"

Wen Ruo opened her eyes wide in surprise. How did he guess that?

"Oh, are you talking about it?" Lu Xingyun's eyes became sharp at this moment.

"No, we didn't talk about it!" Wen Ruo didn't want to say it, but she didn't want to be misunderstood. "I went... to talk to him clearly."

It turns out that I didn’t catch up.

"Can't you tell me on the phone?" Lu Xingyun thought Wen Ru was being ridiculous. "You're rejecting someone and still want to take him to dinner?"

Wen Ruo felt wronged: "I didn't ask for a free meal, he asked me to. He came to the restaurant to help out when he had nothing to do. My mother asked me to date him, but I didn't want to... I had no choice but to agree to him. He said he would not come to the restaurant after dinner."

You can tell that she is very upset.

However, in Lu Xingyun's opinion, this is not a big deal.

The elders couldn't force her to fall in love, and as for Pan Lie, as long as Wen Ruo insisted on not dating, he would definitely give up after a long time. He was not the kind of person who was loyal enough to stay with someone from beginning to end.

But Wen Ruo's personality...

Lu Xingyun thought that Pan Lie was sure that she was too obedient.

"What are you going to say later?" Lu Xingyun asked, "You really don't want to talk to him, right?"

"Well, I don't want to!" Wen Ruo was sure. She felt that she had said everything she needed to say. "Anyway, we'll just have a meal and leave."

"Do you know how much the meal at Tingfeng Pavilion costs?"

"?"

"Thousands."

Wen Ruo: "...Then let's not eat. I'll just go and say a few words and then leave. He must be waiting there."

This time, she must study hard to learn from her cousin!

How stupid! It's such a simple thing, but you have to run all the way to Luoying Lane.

Lu Xingyun pinched his brows while waiting for the red light.

He was also stupid to get involved in this matter.

There was a sudden silence in the car.

Wen Ruo was sitting next to him and secretly glanced at him. She saw that he had one hand on the steering wheel, his posture was lazy, and his eyes were slightly closed.

Today, he went out twice without asking her to go. In this case, we usually don't go to discuss business with the joint venture, but go to the workshop for random inspection.

He is very busy, but he still finds time to write novels.

Even so, he still sent her to Tingfeng Pavilion. Wen Ruo asked softly, "Manager, are you very tired?"

It's like a spring breeze entering my ears, so gentle.

Lu Xingyun opened his eyes and tilted his head: "Why, are you feeling sorry for me?"
