Su Weichu walked out of the elevator and headed towards private room 605.
"Okay, I get it, it's okay."
A female voice suddenly came from the other side of the corner, and Su Weichu stopped in his tracks for an instant. Two seconds later, he quickened his pace and turned the corner. When he turned the corner, he could only see that thin afterimage, with long, thick black hair and a khaki windbreaker, which soon disappeared at the end of the corridor.
Su Weichu was startled and clenched his fists slightly at his side.
There was a knock on the door outside the private room.
Mr. Su was delighted and said, "It should be Weichu who has arrived." Then he said, "Come in."
The person who pushed the door open was undoubtedly Su Weichu.
Ying Yanluo studied fine arts and was very familiar with body proportions. She also had a little-known hobby, which was body control, especially those with broad shoulders, narrow waist and long legs. She couldn't help but take a few more glances at those walking on the street.
The man was wearing a smoky grey suit from Dior, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and slender and strong legs wrapped in ascetic suit pants. His angular facial features exuded gentleness and elegance, his eyes were deep yet soft, and his lips were of moderate thickness with a suitable curve.
The real person looks better than the one on financial TV. This was the first thought that flashed through Ying Yanluo’s mind.
After Su Weichu saw clearly the person sitting at the table, a hint of surprise and an unknown emotion flashed across his eyes.
Mr. Su and the others did not pay attention to these undercurrents and greeted them warmly: "Wei Chu, you are here, come and sit down."
Su Weichu sat down next to Mr. Su, politely called him "Grandpa Song" and then looked at Ying Yanluo who was beside him.
Mr. Su quickly and enthusiastically introduced, "This is your grandpa Song's granddaughter, Sister Yanluo."
Su Weichu looked at her, "Hello, Sister Yanluo."
Ying Yanluo definitely couldn't call him brother, so she said, "Hello, Mr. Su."
Su Weichu curled his lips at her address.
The meal was quite pleasant, at least not as awkward as imagined. After the meal, the four of them went out together.
Mr. Su and Mr. Song looked at each other, and Mr. Su suddenly said, "Wei Chu, you should also add your sister Yan Luo on WeChat. You young people must have a lot of topics to talk about. Chat more and make friends."
Su Weichu took out his phone from his suit pocket and looked at the girl with her head down. He said politely and gentlemanly, "Can you add me on WeChat?"
Ying Yanluo immediately took out his mobile phone, opened the WeChat QR code and handed it to Su Weichu.
With a "beep", the code is scanned successfully.
So the two of them successfully added each other as WeChat friends under the eyes of their two elders.
"By the way, Luo Luo, did you drive here? If not, let Wei Chu take you back."
Ying Yanluo glanced at Su Weichu. She couldn't figure out what he was thinking, but she still said, "Grandpa Su, I drove here by myself. Mr. Su just returned to China, so he must need to rest. I won't bother you."
Mr. Song and Ying Yanluo's cars left one after another.
Su Weichu got into Mr. Su's car. Mr. Su looked at him and asked, "Why are you getting in the car with me?"
"I asked Xiao Wei to drive away first." What he meant was that he didn't have a car.
Mr. Su: “…” Sweat! Fortunately, Luo Luo drove the car himself! Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing!
The rain outside was obviously not as heavy as before, but it was still drizzling. Cars were coming and going on the road, and the neon lights were colorful. Mr. Su turned his head to glance at his eldest grandson who was leaning on the back seat with his eyes closed. He wanted to ask him what his impression of Luo Luo was, but after seeing the fatigue on his face, he finally didn't say a word.
Even if he hadn't asked, he felt that it should not be bad. After all, he had introduced him to many socialites from aristocratic families before, but there was no follow-up. But today, he exchanged WeChat with Luo Luo. Although it was added at his request, it was still added, so at least it should not be rejected.
…
After that meal, even though the two added each other on WeChat, they never said a word to each other. This was within Ying Yanluo's expectations. She knew her own limitations and didn't think a business tycoon like Su Weichu would be interested in her, nor would she pin her hopes on a man she had only met once.
Ying Yanluo told the truth that she didn't think she could keep the 3% shares with her own ability. She had even thought about it. If they pushed her too far, she would sell the shares. No one could get them anyway. Of course, if she really dared to do that, the Ying family would never let her go, so she would not make such a choice unless it was absolutely necessary.
Getting married is her best choice at the moment.
Finding a husband's family with a higher status than the Ying family can not only protect her equity, but also allow her to leave the Ying family with a legitimate reason.
"Buzz—" the phone on the desk vibrated. Ying Yanluo glanced at it and saw it was a WeChat message from Tao Lanzhi.
Tao Lanzhi: Yanluo, your father asked you to come back for dinner in the evening
Ying Yanluo curled the corner of her mouth.
Do you want to eat? I'm afraid it's another Hongmen Banquet.
Ying Yanluo was just about to reply to the message when the phone in her palm suddenly vibrated again. It was a call from an unfamiliar number. Due to work reasons, Ying Yanluo did not have the habit of refusing unfamiliar calls, so she pressed the answer button.
"Hello."
"I'm Su Weichu."
The man's voice was deep but not hoarse, and it was gentle.
Ying Yanluo was a little slow to react, "Su, Mr. Su?"
"It's me."
Ying Yanluo didn't ask how he knew her phone number, because that question was a bit nonsense. She was more concerned about why he called her. "Mr. Su, is there anything you want to talk to me about?"
Su Weichu: "Miss Ying, it may be presumptuous, but I still want to ask, are you willing to marry me?"
Be straightforward and get to the point.
Ying Yanluo's mind went blank and she felt extremely dazed.
Su Weichu didn't wait for her answer and called her again.
Ying Yanluo's thoughts were pulled back by him, and she said uncertainly: "Mr. Su, are you kidding me?"
"No, I never joke with others." Su Weichu continued, "If you don't mind, we can find a time to sit down and talk in detail."
Ying Yanluo lowered her eyes and looked at the digital tablet in front of her. The colors were bright and colorful, the sky was blue and the clouds were white. It was such a bright scene. "Then when will Mr. Su have time?"
Su Weichu: "I'm free tonight, maybe we can have dinner together."
Ying Yanluo smiled silently, "Then I'll have to trouble Mr. Su to book the place."
"Okay, I'll send the location to your WeChat later."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Wei came in with the freshly brewed coffee. He had no idea what he had missed in the time it took to make a cup of coffee. He placed the coffee on the corner of his desk, "Mr. Su, your coffee."
Su Weichu picked up the coffee, and when Xiao Wei was about to go out, Su Weichu stopped him.
Xiao Wei turned around, "Boss Su."
"Now help me make a reservation at Yuejiang Pavilion for 7pm."
Xiao Wei nodded, "Okay, I'll order it right away."
"Tell me as soon as you make the appointment."
"clear."
About half an hour later, Ying Yanluo received a WeChat message from Su Weichu.
swc: 7pm Yuejiang Pavilion
After seeing this, Ying Yanluo replied to him and also gave him a WeChat name, "Mr. Su".
After Ying Yanluo entered and reported the room number, a waiter personally led her upstairs. After bringing her to the door of the room, they nodded and left in an orderly manner. Ying Yanluo knocked on the door at 6:50, neither early nor late, and a familiar voice came from inside.
"Come in."
The private room is of normal size, with a dining table and a sofa. There is a wine cabinet on the south side and an exquisite bouquet of flowers next to the blinds. The air conditioner is on in the room. The man behind the dining table is wearing a simple white shirt and an ink-black suit jacket placed on the back of the sofa.
"Hello, Mr. Su." Ying Yanluo took the initiative to greet him.
Su Weichu looked at her sideways and said, "Please sit down."
Ying Yanluo sat down opposite Su Weichu.
Su Weichu handed her the menu and said, "Take a look at what you want to eat."
His natural and casual attitude made Ying Yanluo feel a little more relaxed. She didn't act pretentiously and nodded to him, took the menu, ordered a few dishes according to her preferences, and then returned the menu to him.
Su Weichu also ordered a few dishes and pressed the button on the corner of the table. Then a waiter came in and took away their menus.
Su Weichu took a set of tea set from the center of the dining table and simply boiled it in water.
Ying Yanluo's gaze fell on his fingers that were holding the teacup and tea set. Their fingers were white and flawless, with distinct joints. Blue veins were faintly visible on the back of his hands, like a fine work of art.
Su Weichu poured a cup of hot tea, "Miss Ying, have some tea."
Ying Yanluo took the small teacup and said, "Thank you."
After their meals were served, they began the main part of the dinner.
"Ms. Ying, I wonder what you think of what I told you at noon?"
Ying Yanluo's expression remained unchanged, "To be honest, Mr. Su is a very good choice."
The smile on Su Weichu's face deepened.
However, Ying Yanluo still couldn't figure it out. If she needed marriage to leave the Ying family, then why did Su Weichu, who was the head of the Su Group and had the most financial power, need to sacrifice his marriage? She wouldn't be so narcissistic as to think that Su Weichu had a crush on her. After all, a man like him should have no shortage of beautiful and outstanding people around him.
"Mr. Su, I think you should understand my situation, right?"
Su Weichu smiled faintly, "Well, I understand. If we get married, you don't need to worry about these things, because I and the Su family will be your strongest backing."
Ying Yanluo's heart was hit hard by his words. Her heart was really moved, and her uneasiness was also real. She had something in mind for Su Weichu, but what about Su Weichu? What did she want from her? "Then you want to know, what do I need to promise you? Or in other words, what do I need to pay?"
Su Weichu opened his lips and was about to speak, but he noticed her serious expression and couldn't help but smile, "Why do you feel you need to give me something?"
Ying Yanluo raised her eyebrows, "Is there any free lunch in this world?"
Su Weichu couldn't help laughing, which made his already soft facial features even softer. His deep eyes were exceptionally bright, with a fatal temptation that would easily make people fall into it if they were not careful.
"If I say that I don't need you to do anything, will you reject my proposal?"
Ying Yanluo lowered her eyes. Will he refuse
I promise I will.
She needs a marriage to get away from the Ying family, rather than getting herself trapped in another family, so the only marriage she wants is one where both parties have mutual interests.
