Chapter 217 Song Chi was ignored by the uncle?
"Who ordered the meal to be delivered to me?!"
Song Chi was very surprised. Her first thought was of her uncle. Could it be that her uncle felt sorry for her and sent her the food?
The thought of this possibility warmed her heart and filled her with sweetness.
The deliveryman glanced towards the door.
"Miss Song, isn't this the big boss who delivered your meal? Your friend is really generous; all the dishes he ordered are our restaurant's signature dishes..."
Following the direction the waiter pointed, Song Chi looked towards the entrance.
She saw a young man standing at the door, nodding and smiling demurely at her.
Was it a gift from him? Or not from her husband?!
Song Chi felt a little disappointed, but also very curious, as he didn't know the boy.
She sized up the boy.
The boy was probably in his early twenties, dressed in a casual suit. He had fair skin, well-defined features, and delicate features, giving him the appearance of a handsome man.
Uh... he's the kind of handsome young man that girls like these days!
However, Song Chi felt that this type of guy was too delicate-looking. She still preferred her older, more mature type of man, who was very masculine and had a lot of charm!
While Song Chi was sizing up the boy, he was also sizing up her.
The two stared at each other for a moment.
The surrounding employees gasped in surprise upon seeing this.
Wow, Mr. Song, your friend is so handsome!
"Mr. Song's friend is not only handsome, but also young. Does he have a girlfriend? I can introduce him to someone..."
"Tsk, this handsome guy clearly likes Boss Song. There's no chance for anyone else!"
"Boss Song has such a handsome suitor, we absolutely mustn't tell the big boss, hahaha..."
These whispers reached Song Chi's ears, and her temples throbbed with excitement; she was utterly speechless.
She knew everyone was joking, but it wasn't funny at all to her. If her husband found out, he'd be incredibly jealous!
Cheng Shu heard this too and scolded, "Stop talking nonsense! Quickly bring the food to the table. After everyone finishes eating, let's continue with today's work!"
Following her command, the surrounding employees all went about their own business.
After the chefs and waiters finished serving the food, they all turned and left.
The boy was still standing at the door, looking shy and nervous.
Song Chi pressed the automatic button on the wheelchair and walked towards her.
Cheng Shu followed closely behind, looking at the boy with wary eyes.
Her brat finally managed to marry a lovely wife, and she can't let some gigolo steal her away. She has to keep a close eye on her brat!
Song Chi asked, "Hello, thank you for the meal. I don't remember knowing you. How much was the meal in total? I'll transfer the money to you!"
The boy quickly waved his hand: "Hello, no need, I'll give it to you. My name is Wu Xuan, I..."
He seemed to want to say something, but he was so nervous that he couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.
"What's wrong with you?"
Song Chi frowned. He was speaking so hesitantly. Was he even a grown man?
"I...I..."
Wu Xuan's face turned red, but he still couldn't utter a complete sentence.
Song Chi waited patiently for him.
Cheng Shu said impatiently, "Since you have nothing to say, then don't say anything. Thank you for the meal, but we're not the kind of people who like to take advantage of others..."
I've already asked the chef; the total cost was 1800. Here's the money back. From now on, we're on good terms, so don't bother my daughter-in-law for no reason!
She emphasized the word "daughter-in-law" very heavily, as if she were helping Mu Yin assert his sovereignty!
As she spoke, Cheng Shu took out some money and handed it to him.
Wu Xuan was still waving his hands, looking flustered, but he was too nervous to speak.
At that moment, Tang Xin walked out of the office with a stack of documents in her hand.
She spotted Wu Xuan immediately and walked towards him.
"Wu Xuan, why did you suddenly come here?"
Song Chi raised an eyebrow: "Tang Xin, you two know each other?"
"Uh... I know him."
Wu Xuan looked at Tang Xin with pitiful, pleading eyes.
Tang Xin sighed and said, "Master, do you remember when I told you about someone who kept waiting at your stall because he wanted to become your apprentice?"
Song Chi thought for a moment, remembered it, and nodded.
"Remember."
"Look, it's him. He couldn't catch you, so he came to bother me and got the studio address out of me. This kid even learned to send food to get close to me. Looks like he's going all out to become my apprentice..."
"You little brat, you actually found her? Why didn't you explain yourself?"
Song Chi looked at Wu Xuan in surprise.
So, he came to her to become her apprentice?
She was also somewhat surprised, as she had not received any professional training, so how could she be qualified to take on apprentices?
Wu Xuan took a deep breath and mustered his courage to say, "Miss Song, I really love your work, and I also love making handmade jewelry. Please, I beg you to take me on as your apprentice..."
As he spoke, he bowed deeply to her.
Song Chi quickly waved his hand: "Mr. Wu, you flatter me too much. I have never systematically studied design. If you ask me to be your apprentice, it will only delay your progress. So, please find someone more capable!"
"Miss Song, please reconsider..."
Wu Xuan was so anxious after being rejected that he almost cried, but he still wanted to persuade him.
“Mr. Wu, I’m doing this to take responsibility for you. I can’t accept your money and then not give you anything in return. Please don’t hold onto that idea.”
Wu Xuan: "..."
Song Chi's attitude was very firm, as if he really had no hope.
Wu Xuan immediately deflated like a punctured balloon.
Song Chi handed him a wad of cash, saying, "Mr. Wu, please take this 1,800. Thank you for your kindness, and I wish you a bright future!"
Wu Xuan pursed his lips and said, "Miss Song, then I won't bother you any longer. I know you're pregnant and can't eat just anything, so I specially ordered a pregnancy meal for you. Remember to eat it."
Song Chi smiled and said, "Thank you!"
Wu Xuan then said, "Miss Song, if we can't be master and disciple, can we be friends?"
Well……
Song Chi thought he was a nice person and was about to speak.
Cheng Shu looked wary: "Oh, stop talking, my darling wife, you should go eat lunch, don't starve yourself..."
"Daughter-in-law, let me take you to lunch."
Song Chi: "..."
Before she could even speak, Cheng Shu pushed her away.
She turned to look at Wu Xuan and waved goodbye politely.
Then, Cheng Shu also turned to look at Wu Xuan, her eyes full of vigilance and warning.
Wu Xuan sighed, turned and left.
In the studio, everyone ate lunch together, and occasionally some people chatted about gossip; the atmosphere was fairly harmonious.
While eating lunch, Song Chi sent messages to his uncle.
"Uncle, are you still working? Have you had lunch yet?"
Hmm, she hasn't seen the uncle all day, she misses him so much~
Mu Yin quickly replied, "Honey, I'm eating right now. How about you? Are you eating well at the hotel?"
Song Chi: "..."
It turns out her husband doesn't know she's been staying at the studio the whole time. But that's fine, it saves him from nagging and lets her go to rest.
She replied, "I'm eating right now too."
"Baby, mwah~ You're such a good girl~ Take a good nap after you've eaten. You're free this afternoon, so Mom can go shopping with you. I have to go now, we'll talk later."
Song Chi replied: "...Oh, okay, Uncle, be careful not to overwork yourself!"
After sending the message, he did not reply.
Is her husband that busy with work?
She felt it was normal for men to be busy with work, but when they were so busy that they barely exchanged a few words at lunchtime, she felt sorry for him because of his hard work, but at the same time, she was a little sentimental, feeling neglected by him...
Song Chi felt a little melancholy, but she quickly adjusted her mindset.
She told herself: Song Chi, you can't keep clinging to the older man. He has to work and earn money to support the family!
With that thought, she stopped worrying and, after eating and drinking her fill, continued working.
Unbeknownst to Song Chi, the online feedback regarding the after-sales service of her jewelry had undergone a significant change...
