A not-so-new pickup truck was driving in the city. The driver was a woman wearing a straw hat and orange photochromic glasses.
Although her face was not very clear because of the glasses, if you look closely, it is not difficult to judge from the slight wrinkles at the corners of the woman's mouth that the woman driving should be quite old.
The woman driving the pickup truck was none other than Feng Yifan's mother and little Feng Ruoruo's grandmother, Lu Cuiling.
In terms of age, Lu Cuiling is three or four years older than Su Jinrong.
But at this moment, Lu Cuiling, wearing a straw hat, orange-colored sunglasses, and driving a pickup truck, looked exhausted, just like an old cowboy lady in a western movie.
As the car drove into the city, there were more vehicles on the road and the pickup truck moved slowly on the road like a little turtle.
"Oh, the roads in this city are so annoying. The traffic is so bad. Old man, next time we come, don't drive. Let's take the high-speed rail and then take the subway. How fast is that?"
If Lu Cuiling, who drives a pickup truck, looks like a dusty old western cowboy lady.
Feng Jiandong, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was absolutely in stark contrast to the old lady.
He was also wearing a straw hat and an old-fashioned dark blue work suit. At first glance, he looked like an old farmer from the northwest countryside.
Looking at the traffic jams on the road and hearing the complaints from his wife who was driving, Feng Jiandong smiled helplessly in his heart: Aren't you the one who has to drive here
But Feng Jiandong said calmly: "Don't worry, they are giving us money today, why should we be anxious? Just drive slowly."
Lu Cuiling was immediately dissatisfied when she heard this: "Hey, you old thing, you are not anxious to see your granddaughter, but I am."
Feng Jiandong said leisurely: "Don't worry, your granddaughter can't run away. Now that your son is back, your daughter-in-law and granddaughter can't run away either."
Lu Cuiling honked the horn, urging the car in front to move forward, and then said to her husband beside her: "Old Feng, do you think my granddaughter will accept my son when he comes back this time? And can my son win back Ruoxi's heart?"
Feng Jiandong answered confidently, "You asked this question. My son is back and has settled down here, right? Isn't your question redundant?"
Even though that bastard has been wandering abroad for five years, he and Ruoxi are a couple after all, and he and Ruoruo are father and daughter. When he comes back and coaxes his wife and daughter, won’t they reconcile quickly? "
Lu Cuiling fell silent, thought for a moment and said, "My daughter-in-law looks soft-tempered, but she is a person who knows what's going on, and she is very stubborn. It may not be easy for my son to reconcile with her."
Feng Jiandong and his wife have different opinions: "It may not seem easy, but it's not that difficult. After all, we were once husband and wife. Our feelings may have faded due to the five years of separation, but if we get along slowly, we can always find the feelings we once had."
At this point, Feng Jiandong paused and continued before his wife could speak: "Besides, don't we still have Ruoruo? On the phone yesterday, Ruoruo started to protect Dad and knew to say good things for him. With Ruoruo around, the couple will reconcile soon."
Hearing the old man mention his granddaughter, Lu Cuiling immediately became anxious again: "Oh, can't you hurry up? I want to see my granddaughter."
Perhaps Lu Cuiling's shouting worked, the traffic jam ahead finally started to move, and Lu Cuiling quickly drove the pickup truck across the intersection ahead.
The pickup truck drove along the city road and did not go directly to the old street where Su Ji was located, but first came to a big hotel.
When the pickup truck drove to the hotel gate, Su Lanxin's personal secretary led a group of people including Su Liancheng, rushed out of the hotel and came to the pickup truck to greet them.
Su Liancheng took the initiative to step forward, opened the car door for Feng Jiandong, and greeted him with a smile: "Hello, Uncle Feng, welcome to you and Auntie."
Feng Jiandong looked at the young man who was smiling and enthusiastically opening the car door for him. He was not sure where he came from.
Seeing the other party's confused face, Su Liancheng also quickly introduced himself: "Oh, Uncle Feng, my name is Su Liancheng, and your daughter-in-law Su Ruoxi is my cousin."
Feng Jiandong asked curiously, "Isn't she my cousin?"
Su Liancheng was confused by this question. After thinking about it, he quickly explained: "Yes, you can also be considered my cousin, because I have the same last name as my mother, and my mother is..."
Before Su Liancheng could finish his words, Lu Cuiling, who got out of the driver's seat, interrupted him.
"Your mother is the one who made a fortune, but still came back to snatch the family property, angered her own brother so much that he had a stroke, and didn't recognize any relatives, Su Lanxin?"
Lu Cuiling's blunt words made everyone who came out to greet her, including Su Liancheng, look embarrassed.
Then Lu Cuiling came around from the car and said to Su Liancheng directly: "What qualifications do you have to welcome us here? Ask your mother Su Lanxin to come out and tell her that if she doesn't come, we won't discuss business."
After that, Lu Cuiling pulled her husband to stand beside the car, muttering, "You've delayed seeing my little granddaughter."
Su Liancheng kept smiling, turned his head to look at the secretary who had just walked around the driver's seat to open the door for Lu Cuiling, and asked with his eyes what he should do
The secretary did not expect it to turn out like this. She had been involved in purchasing negotiations for the group's chain restaurants for so many years, but this was the first time she had encountered such a tough supplier.
But the key point is that there are indeed complicated family conflicts here, and the secretary really has no right to make the decision.
Finally, the secretary could only smile and say, "Why don't you two go in first? I'll go up and inform President Su right away. I'm sure President Su will come down to greet you personally."
Lu Cuiling walked to the back of the pickup truck and sat on the hood of the pickup truck: "Go call Su Lanxin, we'll wait for her here."
After saying that, Lu Cuiling patted her side and said to Feng Jiandong, "Old man, come up. Let's sit here and see what kind of person she is. She doesn't recognize her relatives."
As the saying goes, "The soft is afraid of the hard, and the hard is afraid of the tough."
Today, Su Liancheng finally saw what "horizontal" meant.
The relevant personnel within the group who came out to greet them together were not like before this kind of situation, but they were a little confused by the other party's constant saying "Su Lanxin is not recognized by any relatives".
You have to know that Su Lanxin has absolute authority within the group and always has the final say. When has anyone dared to block the door and curse like this
There are still brave people in the company. A young male employee stood up decisively and wanted to seek an explanation for his boss.
"Hey, you two country vegetable vendors are here cursing at our CEO Su. Believe it or not, the restaurant under our group will cancel your orders tomorrow and won't sell your vegetables."
It would have been fine if she hadn't said this. As soon as she said this, Lu Cuiling immediately became more aggressive: "Oh, I didn't expect that Su Lanxin, who doesn't recognize her relatives, could raise such a loyal dog? Okay, is that what you said? Cancel the order and don't want our food? Old man, then why are we still being an eyesore here? Let's go."
After saying that, Lu Cuiling jumped out of the pickup truck without hesitation and turned to walk towards the driver's seat.
As for Feng Jiandong, who didn't say much, he was more direct. He opened the car door and got in. The old couple didn't show any intention of staying.
Seeing this situation, Su Liancheng quickly reached out and grabbed the car door that Feng Jiandong was about to close.
The secretary on the other side also hurried over to stop Lu Cuiling who was about to get in the car: "Auntie, don't get excited. He is an ordinary employee of the company. His words do not represent the opinions of our company, let alone those of President Su. Please don't leave. I will call President Su now."
Su Liancheng pulled the car door and said, "Uncle and aunt, please wait a moment. Give me a minute. I will go up and ask my mother to come down."
The male employee who had been speaking so arrogantly a moment ago seemed to have seen the tragic ending of being ruthlessly fired in an attempt to appease the anger of the old country couple.
Sure enough, a voice sounded behind the crowd: "Brother Feng, Sister Lu, now that you are here, are you going to leave without seeing each other? After all, we are relatives. Haven't I come to greet you personally?"
The male employee turned around in horror and saw President Su, whom he had always admired and who remained charming even at her old age, walking towards the old cowboy lady who was being held by the secretary outside the driver's seat with a smile on her face.
