Chapter 341: I Like Her, That’s Enough
Seeing that Director Ying had no sense of respect for others, Meng Chuyuan spoke directly to him without caring whether he was really confused or pretending to be confused.
“…” Director Ying’s expression stiffened slightly as he listened to Meng Chuyuan’s words.
But Director Xia smiled unkindly at this moment.
Just now, regarding the matter with Director Xia, Director Ying was speaking for Meng Chuyuan. He didn't expect that it would be his turn so soon.
Director Ying looked up at Meng Chuyuan with a forced smile on his face. It took him a long time to utter, "Spoiled."
After saying that, he put down the lighter and smiled helplessly, "Not allowed to smoke, this is quite similar to my daughter...Okay, I won't smoke this cigarette tonight."
Director Ying obediently put down the cigarette and returned the lighter to Director Xia.
Seeing this, Meng Chuyuan's eyes flashed with satisfaction, and she politely said again: "Thank you, Uncle Ying, for giving me this face."
Someone asked: "Are you really not going to smoke anymore? Can you bear it?"
"I'll try my best." Just bear it. If it really doesn't work, he will go outside to smoke?
Those who are familiar with Mr. Ying know that he is an old smoker with a heavy addiction. He feels uncomfortable all over if he doesn’t smoke for a day!
The meal and the chat would take at least one or two hours to finish, which might be an extreme challenge for Dong.
Who would have thought that with just a simple sentence from Meng Chuyuan, he would actually put down the cigarette obediently.
Besides Meng Chuyuan, there was actually another female shareholder in the room. When she saw Ying Dongzhen put down his cigarette, she couldn't help but say, "Old Ying, I've actually been fed up with your habit of smoking all the time. I've known you for so many years, and I've never had the nerve to say anything to you."
After hearing this, Director Xia couldn't help but think of himself, after all, he smoked a lot too.
Director Xia frowned and asked, "Did you want to say the same thing about me?"
"Yes. Every time I'm with you guys, I smell like cigarettes. If it weren't for Mr. Lu tonight, I wouldn't be here."
“…”
No one likes to talk about work after get off work, so they start looking for topics to talk about Lu Qingye and Meng Chuyuan.
Lu Qingye got married suddenly but did not announce the news to the public. Not many people around him knew about it, and they knew the truth only after Lin Youjuan spread it.
Lin Youjuan couldn't keep secrets, so she would naturally share the great news of her son's marriage with others. As word spread, ten people would know about it, and a hundred people would know about it, so naturally they would hear about it too.
Even though they knew that Lu Qingye was married, they were still curious about how they got together.
During the meal, Mr. Ying stared at the cigarettes on the table intentionally or unintentionally, feeling a little restless. He wanted to reach out to take them several times but held back.
Later, while they were chatting animatedly, Director Ying couldn't help but put a cigarette to his philtrum and sniffed it again and again.
When the topic turned to Meng Chuyuan, they asked openly, "I'm a little curious. Whose daughter is Mrs. Xiao Lu?"
"I've watched Mr. Lu grow up, and I've never seen him get close to any girl!"
"That's right."
“…”
When the sensitive topic of his background was brought up, Lu Quanyu frowned unhappily. "We're just chatting, why are you asking these questions? You're checking my household registration!"
Meng Chuyuan didn't feel uncomfortable. On the contrary, she responded calmly: "My parents are ordinary farmers. They died when I was very young, so you wouldn't know them even if I told you."
"..." After hearing Meng Chuyuan's sincere answer, they didn't know how to continue the conversation for a moment.
I thought that even if Meng Chuyuan was not from a famous family, she could still be from a small family. I didn't expect that she was actually a country girl!
Lu Qingye suddenly raised his hand, covered the back of Meng Chuyuan's hand, and transferred the warmth of his palm to her.
When everyone fell silent, Lu Qingye slowly said, "Background is not important. It's enough that I like her."
