Chapter 99 She's Engaged
Sang Sui didn't expect that when Cen Yu, who hadn't contacted her for more than a week, contacted her again, it was his parents who invited her to dinner.
When Cen and his parents learned that she had returned to Yunjing City, they had mentioned inviting her to dinner, but for some unknown reason, the matter was dropped.
Unexpectedly, after such a long time, his parents suddenly came to ask her out again.
With Cen Yu's "calmness" during this period, Sang Sui also figured out some things.
She knew better than anyone what this dinner meant and originally wanted to decline, but then she thought about explaining things to Cen Yu and finally went to the appointment.
When Sang Sui arrived at the Fulai Hotel, Cen Yu was already waiting for her at the door.
As soon as she got out of the car, Cen Yu came to greet her.
He reached out and held her hand, smiling, "Let's go, they are all waiting in the box."
Sang Sui's gestures froze and he lowered his eyes to look at the two people holding hands.
Cen Yu stopped and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Cen Yu." Sang Sui's lips moved, "I have something to say to you..."
"Hey, let's go in quickly, they are all waiting anxiously."
He seemed to know what she wanted to say, but he also seemed to really think that his parents were waiting anxiously inside.
Without waiting for Sang Sui to say anything, he interrupted her and pulled her into the box.
In the end, Sang Sui swallowed the words back into his stomach.
-
“Mom and Dad, Sui Sui is here!”
The door of the box opened and the woman who was communicating with the waiter turned around.
The woman looked to be in her early fifties, with her hair tied up, wearing glasses, and a thin face with sharp edges.
She was well maintained and looked to be in her forties, but perhaps because of her job, when her eyes fell on him, Sang Sui shuddered.
But it only took a few seconds. The woman quickly came over with a smile on her lips and took her hand warmly: "Sui Sui, hello, I'm Cen Yu's mother, my last name is Li, you can call me Aunt Li."
Although this was the first meeting, Sang Sui had a general understanding of Cen Yu's family members before that.
Cen Yu is an only child. Both his parents are intellectuals. His father is a university professor and his mother is a high school teacher.
Perhaps because of his job, Sang Sui inexplicably felt a little nervous and restrained.
After Cen and his father finished explaining things to the waiter, they turned around and said, "Hello Sui Sui, I'm Cen and his father."
Sang Sui quickly reached out and held the other person's hand: "Uncle and aunt, hello."
After greeting each other, they took their seats one after another.
Soon, the waiter started serving the food.
"I don't know what you like to eat, so I just ordered some at random." Cen and her mother brought a plate of beef to her, "If it doesn't suit your taste, remember to tell auntie and I'll order something else for you."
The woman's enthusiasm eased Sang Sui's nervousness and restraint. She nodded and said, "Thank you, Auntie."
"You're welcome."
In comparison, Cen and his father seemed to talk less, and most of the time it was Cen and his mother who talked to her.
The woman held her hand and cared about her situation like an elder.
When talking about her family situation, the woman suddenly asked: "By the way, I heard from Xiao Yu that your father is a firefighter, right?"
Sang Sui smiled and nodded: "Yes."
"That's amazing. We serve the people and are heroes who go against the tide."
Sang Sui nodded and smiled: "Thank you."
"Is he still working in the Jiangcheng fire brigade?" The woman smiled with narrowed eyes. "Is he employed by the regular staff or a contract worker? I have learned that our country provides good benefits to the fire brigade, but some places may be relatively small, so the benefits will be..."
"He has passed away." Sang Sui interrupted.
The woman's face froze, as if she hadn't expected Sang Sui to be so direct.
Sang Sui added: "When I was in the third grade, he died on a mission."
"Ah...I see. I'm sorry, Auntie shouldn't ask these questions."
"It doesn't matter."
"Hey, your child." The woman looked distressed, "You are also a poor child."
-
Sheng Yize finally went to the Fulai Hotel.
After finding out the private room they were dining in, Sheng Yize booked a private room next door.
He didn't order anything, but just moved a chair and sat against the wall, listening quietly.
The two boxes were separated by only a wall, and the soundproofing was not very good. He could clearly hear the joyful and harmonious conversation in the box opposite.
"Hey, in the blink of an eye, our Xiaoyu has grown up so much." A woman sighed, "Time flies so fast, it feels like he was still in my arms yesterday, and today he has a girlfriend and is in love."
"Yes, Xiaoyu has been well-behaved since he was young. We had no choice but to send him abroad." The man's voice sounded, "We also wanted to train him and make him more mature and stable. I didn't expect him to tell us directly that he was in love."
At this point, the man laughed and said, "Sui Sui, you have no idea how shocked his mother and I were when we heard the news. We were afraid that he had been cheated. After all, he was alone abroad and we were not with him."
"To be honest, we are all worried about him." The woman patted Sang Sui's hand and sighed.
"When he returned to China with you, he did not choose to go home at the first time, but accompanied you back to your hometown Jiangcheng. We thought you might..."
The woman paused. "But now it seems that our worries were unnecessary."
Sang Sui's face froze slightly and he smiled awkwardly.
How could she not hear the hidden meaning?
When she returned to China with Cen Yu, she asked him if he wanted to go home first. After all, he hadn't been home for so long and his parents would definitely miss him.
At that time, Cen Yu said: "It's okay, I will accompany you back to your hometown first, and then go back when the time comes."
I don't know what Cen Yu said to his parents, but from what his parents said, they should be blaming her for instigating Cen Yu to go back to his hometown with her.
Perhaps sensing that Sang Sui’s face was not right, Cen Yu took the initiative to explain: “Dad, Mom, it was me who wanted to go back to my hometown with Sui Sui. After all, the journey is long, and I was worried about her going home alone.”
The woman's face darkened slightly and she glared at Cen Yu.
Cen Yu's face turned timid, and he quickly lowered his head to eat, not daring to speak anymore.
The woman looked at Sang Sui, picked up the serving chopsticks and gave her a large shrimp, smiling: "Come on, Sui Sui, eat shrimp. This is all in the past, so let's not talk about it. Let's talk about your business now?"
"Our business?" Sang Sui was stunned.
"Don't you know?" The woman glanced at Cen Yu, "Xiao Yu told me that you two have a very good relationship and want to settle your relationship."
-
"Sir, what would you like to eat? This is our menu. Would you like to take a look?"
The waiter looked at Sheng Yize sitting in the corner and mustered up the courage to walk in.
This guy is also strange. He asked for this private room as soon as he arrived. After booking the room, he came in alone, and no friends of his came over.
Everyone thought he was the only one coming to eat, so they waited at the door of the box for him to order. But this guy was very strange. He didn't order any dishes or drink any water. As soon as he entered the box, he pulled a chair and sat in the corner, closing his eyes to rest. No one knew what he was thinking.
When the waiter came closer, he found that the man had an ugly expression and exuded a lonely and cold look.
He hesitated for a moment, but still mustered up the courage to ask again: "Sir, don't you know what to order? Would you like me to introduce it to you..."
Sheng Yize slowly opened his eyes, his eyelashes half closed, and his pair of deep, dark eyes stared straight ahead.
Suddenly, he chuckled.
It’s time to wake up from this dream.
The waiter was terrified and couldn't help but ask softly, "Sir?"
Sheng Yize stood up and walked out directly: "Refund the box."
-
When Sang Sui came out to use the bathroom, he suddenly saw a man walking around the corner of the corridor.
She paused, took a few steps back, and looked along the aisle.
I found that the man had disappeared in the corridor.
Is it her illusion?
She seemed to have seen Sheng Yize just now...
Sang Sui didn't think much about it and walked to the bathroom.
When I came out, I suddenly bumped into a woman.
She is Cen Yu’s mother.
"Auntie, you are here too..." Sang Sui walked up with a smile.
The woman stood there, smiling, but her eyes behind the lenses showed a hint of coldness.
"In fact, you don't like Cen Yu at all, right?"
