Chapter 146 What do you think of the boss?
Chen Zheng walked closer to the girl in front of him step by step. Returning to his hometown, he suddenly felt that the air in Beijing was a bit oppressive and suffocating.
Until Meng Zixi's teasing voice rang in my ears.
"Brother Zheng slept all the way, you must be sleepy, you didn't respond when the boss called you."
He came back to his senses and looked at the beautiful girl in front of him who was smiling with a forced smile in her eyes.
"No, I just can't believe that Xun has become a mother so soon. When did Xun get married? She kept it a secret. Is she having a secret marriage?"
Chen Zheng asked with a smile, but if anyone looked closely, they would find that the smile did not reach his eyes.
Even the nails holding the suitcase handle began to turn white.
"Not yet." Jiang Qianxun smiled calmly.
"Really? I thought you were married and were wondering how much gift would be appropriate." Chen Zheng's smile was still gentle, but this time one could clearly hear that his voice was a little trembling.
Seeing this, Meng Zixi grabbed Jiang Qianxun's arm, but looked at Chen Zheng: "Brother Zheng must not have woken up yet. As soon as he came back, he acted like he was checking the household registration. He suddenly became nagging, haha."
"Just joking. It's just that we haven't seen each other for a while and I almost didn't recognize you, so I asked a few more questions. Why are you all standing here? Why don't we find a place to sit down and talk?" Chen Zheng looked at Jiang Qianxun and spoke in a gentle voice again.
Jiang Qianxun raised her phone. She was really happy to see everyone. "I have already booked a seat. I am waiting for you. Let's go!"
Twenty minutes later, the group arrived at Jufulou.
"Jufulou? It's a great place."
At the entrance of the hotel, Meng Zixi looked at the sign with black letters on a gold background and sighed.
"......" Jiang Qianxun paused after getting off the car.
If I remember correctly, isn't this a hotel owned by the Xu family?
Why is her assistant booked here?
Fortunately, there are many people here today, including Aunt Lan and Uncle Jiang, so she won’t be so unlucky. Maybe she can meet Xing Mingyu’s brothers!
She shook her head and let Aunt Lan help her up the stairs.
There was no space at the door, so the driver, Uncle Jiang, went to park somewhere else.
After he parked the car and returned to the entrance of Jufulou with the keys, someone passed by and knocked the keys out of his hand with a "click".
"sorry!"
"It's okay." Uncle Jiang picked up the key and when he looked up, he saw a familiar face.
"Second Master Xu!"
"Uncle Jiang?" Xu Li saw who was coming and raised his eyebrows: "Why are you here?"
Uncle Jiang thought of the previous text message that fell on deaf ears, and said truthfully: "I am here to have dinner with Director An."
Second sister-in-law?
That little girl?
Ling Yue's words about his second brother and his wife being in a cold war flashed through Xu Li's mind. Xu Li touched his chin, raised his hand to signal Uncle Jiang to go in first, and turned to go to the front desk.
"Turn on the surveillance and show it to me."
The front desk clerk moved quickly, and soon Xu Li saw the scene at the door a few minutes ago.
My second sister-in-law and several young men and women entered his restaurant. Judging from their attire and the suitcases in their hands, they should be returnees or overseas students who had just returned to China. One of the most handsome boys kept looking at my second sister-in-law from time to time.
After turning off the surveillance footage, he clicked on the surveillance footage of Jiang Qianxun's private room.
I saw that they had already sat down and the waiter was serving the food. Several people were talking to the second sister-in-law with respectful expressions. Only that handsome boy not only sat next to the second sister-in-law but also kept his eyes on her. The emotion in his eyes could not deceive anyone.
"Fuck! Second brother, you're going to have a cheating crush on you soon!" Xu Li cursed softly, turned off the surveillance camera in the private room, crossed his arms, tapped his forehead with his fingers a few times, suddenly reached out to the front desk to get two bottles of hot milk, and turned to go upstairs.
Inside the room.
Jiang Qianxun was chatting with Chen Zheng.
"Has your work been going smoothly since you came back to Beijing?" Chen Zheng poured her a cup of hot water. "The weather is getting colder. I remember you are very afraid of the cold. Drink some water to warm yourself up."
"Thank you, Brother Zheng." Jiang Qianxun took the cup of water handed to her by the man.
"Why are you being so polite to me? You haven't answered my question yet." Chen Zheng asked with a smile.
There were quite a lot of people talking at the scene and it was very noisy, so the two of them had to get a little closer to each other when they talked.
"Not bad. I'm doing OK under the name of Zixi. How about you? Is your graduation project going well?"
Although she knew it was useless to ask.
Chen Zheng was the most talented one among the group of people sponsored by the mysterious person, except for her. Not only had he skipped grades since the first grade of junior high school, but he was also selected to study abroad in his freshman year. In his sophomore year, in addition to working in the studio she had set up, he was also specially hired as a designer by a famous local construction company.
It can be said that in addition to his family background, he is handsome and a top student, so a small graduation project is naturally no problem for him.
Chen Zheng poured himself a cup of boiling water. His clean, slender fingers rubbed the edge of the cup back and forth, and his black and white eyes fell gently on the girl beside him.
“My studies are going well.”
Jiang Qianxun heard this and laughed at him: "Could it be that Brother Zheng has other problems?"
"Axun is always smart, what do you think?"
"Well, I..." Jiang Qianxun hadn't finished speaking when suddenly, a familiar person rushed in from the door.
The waiter at the door even called him respectfully, "Second Master Xu."
Xu Li greeted everyone present generously like a peacock spreading its tail feathers. He took a step forward with his long legs and stood beside Jiang Qianxun. He pushed two bottles of hot milk onto the table with one hand and put the other hand on the back of Jiang Qianxun's chair.
"Excuse me, everyone. Please stop me for two minutes."
After saying that, he turned around and looked at Jiang Qianxun in a flattering manner: "Sister-in-law, why didn't you say hello when you came to my house for dinner? Your friends are my friends. Why bother making reservations in advance? Just tell me and I'll book it all for you."
Jiang Qianxun didn't expect that her luck was so bad that she actually met Xing Mingyu's brother.
She was a little speechless: "No need to trouble Second Young Master Xu."
"How can this be called trouble? We are all family. I will tell the front desk later that if I see my sister-in-law coming here to eat, I will pay for it all. I will also send two bottles of hot milk to my two unborn nephews."
"Sister-in-law, today's meal will be charged to my account. You and everyone can enjoy your meal. Waiter, serve my sister-in-law some more food that is suitable for pregnant women."
After Xu Li finished speaking, he said hello to everyone like a peacock spreading its screen and ran away.
As soon as he walked out the door, he immediately called Xing Mingyu.
"Sorry, the phone you dialed has been turned off."
He leaned over and called Ling Yue again, but still no one answered.
He cursed twice, turned and went downstairs.
Inside the room.
"Boss, do you know the owner of this restaurant?" someone asked Jiang Qianxun.
"We are just acquaintances."
Everyone obviously didn't believe it. How could an acquaintance like him be so generous?
Do you keep talking about your younger sister-in-law and older nephew?
But no one thought too deeply about it. The host accepted the other party's favor. Although it seemed like he was forced to do so, they didn't say much.
Chen Zheng looked at the two bottles of hot milk in front of him and suddenly felt that the warm water he had just poured in his hands cooled down too quickly.
"I overlooked that pregnant women should drink more nutritious drinks." Chen Zheng met Jiang Qianxun's beautiful eyes, and after two seconds, he suddenly tried to speak.
"That guy just now, is he the brother or friend of the child's father? He was very nice to you."
Jiang Qianxun smiled and said nothing.
Thanks to Xu Li's "enthusiasm", the welcoming banquet was quite decent, and Jiang Qianxun and her friends enjoyed the meal very much.
Only Chen Zheng had a poor appetite. Halfway through his meal, he borrowed a cigarette and a lighter and walked out.
Meng Zixi drank a little too much juice and was about to go to the bathroom. When she saw Chen Zheng's lonely back, she thought for a moment and followed him out with her cell phone.
After returning from the bathroom, Meng Zixi saw the man standing in the corridor smoking and looking at his phone.
She was stunned for a moment, then walked over.
"It turns out that Brother Zheng also smokes. I never knew."
"As long as you are willing, there is nothing you can't learn." Although he said so, Chen Zheng seemed not used to smoking in front of outsiders. When he saw Meng Zixi standing in front of him, he turned around, took two puffs, and then put out the cigarette.
When he looked back again, his expression had returned to normal, and the light from the corridor cast a layer of coldness on his handsome face.
Seeing this, Meng Zixi sighed and continued his words: "That's good. In this way, some people and things can be forgotten quickly when they need to. I'll go in first."
"Is the father of Axun's child Qin Chuan?" Chen Zheng suddenly spoke.
Meng Zixi turned around and asked instead of answering, "Why do you ask that?"
Chen Zheng raised his phone, a bitter look flashed across his face: "It's all in the news, but I don't really believe it. The way the female star looked at Qin Chuan couldn't deceive anyone. I knew at a glance that there was something going on between them."
"During the time when Axun and Qin Chuan were dating, Qin Chuan didn't show up once throughout the year. He just called Axun on her birthday. Now seeing those photos of him with female celebrities, oh, Qin Chuan was cheating on her."
"With Xun's personality, she would never tolerate such a thing. But she is pregnant again. I can't imagine how miserable Xun would be if he was the father of the child."
Meng Zixi: "So you are just worried about her?"
Chen Zheng avoided Meng Zixi's gaze and turned to look at the night view in the distance.
Meng Zixi stretched out his hand and rubbed his forehead: "It's not Qin Chuan."
"Who is that?"
Chen Zheng asked, his expression hard to tell whether he was sad or happy.
"I don't know either. She didn't tell me." Meng Zixi answered truthfully.
Even if the boss said it, she would not reveal it to him. Others might not know what he felt towards the boss, but she knew it very well. No matter who that man was, it was not good for Chen Zheng to get involved like this.
"is it?"
Chen Zheng thought of the wealthy and servile Mr. Xu who had just called A Xun his sister-in-law.
At least it can be confirmed that the child’s father is a rich man.
The circle can be guaranteed.
......
At the same time, Xing Mingyu and Assistant Zhou just walked out of the Beijing Airport.
When the bodyguard in black saw the man coming out, he immediately stepped forward to escort him. The person who came to pick him up was Ling Yue.
Ling Yue was not notified to come here, he came here shamelessly to inspect the results.
After all, he had nothing to do, and his only pleasure recently was to watch how Xing Er whetted his second sister-in-law's appetite.
The second sister-in-law looks petite, but is actually very well-endowed. He is sure that if the girl puts a little effort into it, she can definitely charm a lot of men.
Her personality is definitely hard to grasp. She looks gentle and quiet, but she can give Xing Er, a workaholic, a headache. She is definitely not simple.
Although he didn't know what happened between the two of them, he couldn't wait to see how a top girl like his second sister-in-law would be fascinated by this man.
Looking at the ascetic man walking towards him, Ling Yue's smile became more evil and he raised his leg to meet him.
"Second brother, you are finally back!"
The man stood tall and straight, with no expression on his face, and he didn't look like he was in a particularly good mood.
Looking up and seeing his friend coming over, he frowned, glanced at him twice, then walked around him with disgust, his tone colder than the wind outside the airport.
"Who asked you to come?"
Ling Yue sneered and followed with a smile: "What are you talking about? We are brothers, so why can't I come to pick you up? By the way, I want to care about your relationship with your second sister-in-law. Have you reconciled with your second sister-in-law?"
The man didn't even look at him. After they exited the airport, he narrowed his brown eyes coldly and reached out for a cigarette case.
"What's wrong? You look so unsatisfied. Who pissed you off?" Ling Yue handed him his cigarette and lit it for him.
The man took a deep breath and was not in a hurry to get into the extended Lincoln driven by Uncle Song. He stood on the steps, puffing out smoke, giving off an aura that kept strangers away.
Seeing that his good brother looked a little strange, Ling Yue was confused.
Didn't he follow his method to keep the second sister-in-law's appetite suspenseful? Why did he become more and more sullen after more than half a month?
Hasn’t he dealt with his second sister-in-law yet?
This shouldn't be the case. Who is Xing Er? He has such good conditions that he can be a duck, and he is also the best one.
Wherever he stood, countless wealthy women would line up to spend money on him.
The second sister-in-law is very attractive, but he guarantees that even someone as attractive as the second sister-in-law cannot resist Xing Er's teasing.
But apart from his second sister-in-law, he couldn't think of anything else that would give this man a headache.
Ling Yue was extremely curious: "Xing Er, speak."
Xing Mingyu had a cold expression on his face.
Ling Yue: "Okay, let me put it another way. How is your plan going?"
Xing Mingyu glanced at his phone which had been silent for a week and said unhappily.
"The Cold War has become even colder. Is that considered progress?"
Ling Yue: "That's impossible. Logically, the second sister-in-law should be unable to bear the loneliness and come to you. Are you busy with work and overlooked something? Or has she changed and you didn't notice? Eh?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a cell phone was thrown at him.
Ling Yue quickly took it and opened it. It was a circle of friends, sent by his second sister-in-law. There was only one line of words on it: [Cherish the one in front of you. Good morning.]
"Second sister-in-law has only sent this during this period of time?"
Xing Mingyu put out his cigarette, took back his phone, and got into the Changan-Lincoln driven by Uncle Song with extremely low spirits. By the way, he gave Ling Yue a look that said "you are talking nonsense".
Ling Yue sent Assistant Zhou to drive his own car, and he followed Xing Ming to the car. As soon as he sat down, he touched his chin with his long fingers and began to analyze: "It shouldn't be. The person in front of me, the person in front of my second sister-in-law..."
He thought about it, and suddenly slapped his thigh: "I understand, Second Sister-in-law must be talking about you, that's right, this is the emotional tug of war between men and women, to see who can't stand the longing more, Xing Er, you must hold on, if you call Second Sister-in-law or meet her at this time, Second Sister-in-law will think it's your fault that caused your cold war, you must hold on. Keeping people on suspense is to make it more passionate next time, you must persist, otherwise all your efforts will fail."
Xing Mingyu closed his eyes, too lazy to look at him, his thin lips tightly pursed, and he didn't say a word along the way. Only Ling Yue was still there analyzing everything for him in detail.
He listened to every word, and at the end, he was a little annoyed by Ling Yue's noise and asked Uncle Song to stop the car.
He signaled Ling Yue: "Get out of the car!"
Ling Yue certainly didn't want to get off the car, but couldn't stand the glare from the man, so he had to get out obediently and stop Assistant Zhou who was following behind.
Inside the extended Lincoln.
Without Ling Yue's chatter, the man seemed to be in an even worse mood. He held his forehead with one hand, and under his long fingers, his bloodshot eyes were as cold as ice.
At this time, Uncle Song spoke.
"Sir, the Jiang family villa is just past the intersection. Do you plan to go see Director An or go back to the whole courtyard?"
The man continued to press the aching corner of his forehead. After a few seconds, he answered with three words: "Go back to the courtyard."
Uncle Song sighed and said yes. He then drove his extended Lincoln with the exhaust fumes, crossed the intersection near the Jiang family villa, and quickly merged into the traffic flow.
