The next day, Yao Yiyi received an unfamiliar phone number. She originally didn't want to answer it because not many people in the city knew the number she had changed in Beijing, and the number looked familiar to her. I can't remember who it belongs to.
She thought for a while and finally picked up. She was a little surprised when she heard the voice coming from the other side. She didn't expect it was Mrs. Xu calling. She wondered how she knew her phone number.
"Hello, aunt." Yao Yiyi said politely.
"Miss Yao, I haven't seen you for two years. I didn't expect you to remember me, an old woman. I heard from Chengxun that you were back and wanted to meet and talk to you. I wonder if you are free now?" Mrs. Xu was polite and distant. came the voice.
Yao Yiyi was confused. After two years, she thought she and Mrs. Xu had nothing to talk about, but the elders had invited her, so it would be unreasonable for her to refuse.
"Auntie, when and where do you want to meet when you have time?" Yao Yiyi said.
"I will send the time and address to your mobile phone in a moment."
"good."
"That's it for now."
After hanging up the phone, Yao Yiyi's text message rang. She opened it and saw that it was from Mrs. Xu with the time and address for the meeting. The appointment was at one o'clock in the afternoon.
Xu Chen, who was playing hide-and-seek with An An, took advantage of An An to hide. He came over and said, "Whose phone number is it?"
"It's an old friend. She invited me to a coffee shop for a cup of coffee. An An will ask you to take her with her soon." Yao Yiyi put her phone away and said with a smile.
Xu Chen nodded: "Okay, do you want me to take An An to accompany you?"
"No, she will feel uncomfortable when you go there. Just play with An An. If you are busy, I will ask Mother Wu to take care of you. An An should not reject Mother Wu."
"Just let me take care of you. I won't take any outside work these days, and the BOSS only orders me to protect you and An An, so I will be free." Xu Chen said.
Yao Yiyi nodded and said nothing more.
When the appointed time arrived, Yao Yiyi drove to the appointment. When she entered the coffee shop, Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Xu had not arrived yet.
She found a corner to sit down, ordered a latte, and leisurely looked at the scenery outside the car window.
Yao Yiyi waited for nearly twenty minutes before Mrs. Xu arrived late. She sat down and said, "Sorry, there's a traffic jam on the road."
Yao Yiyi smiled and said: "Aunt, it's okay, I just arrived."
The waiter came up and said, "Madam, what would you like to drink?"
"Just give me a glass of Blue Mountain on ice."
"OK, just a second."
After the waiter left, Mrs. Xu looked at Yao Yiyi and said, "Miss Yao, I haven't seen you in two years. You have become much more beautiful."
"Aunt, thank you for your compliments. You are becoming more and more beautiful. No one will believe that you are over fifty." Yao Yiyi smiled like a snake and said: "And aunt, you call me Yiyi is fine, but calling me Miss Yao is too strange. We haven't seen each other for two years. I wonder if my aunt suddenly called me out for something? And how did you know my phone number? "
Mrs. Xu smiled and said: "I think you are back. It is impossible that Mrs. Ou doesn't know your phone number. I shamelessly called her last night and she told me."
Yao Yiyi nodded and returned to the previous topic: "Auntie, you asked me to come out, but something happened?"
"Have you met Chengxun?" Mrs. Xu asked.
Yao Yiyi suddenly realized that her previous doubts were instantly solved. It seemed that Xu Chengxun had always been the link between them. He framed her seven years ago and almost went to jail just to prevent her from leaving Xu Chengxun. Seven years later, he made an appointment with her. It was also because of Xu Chengxun that they came out to meet each other. The smokeless war between the two women all revolved around one man.
"I took my son shopping yesterday and happened to see him and Ms. Li shopping. He and I couldn't be a couple before, but we are still friends, so we met for a cup of coffee. Ms. Li was also there. Auntie wouldn't do it for Chengxun and I drank a cup of coffee and came to investigate." Yao Yiyi said with a smile.
Mrs. Xu put her shawl on her shoulders and said with a fake smile: "How could it be? I just suddenly heard from Chengxun that you disappeared for two years and then came back. I didn't expect to ask you out for a chat after not seeing you for a long time."
Yao Yiyi smiled.
The waiter brought the coffee and interrupted their conversation.
"Madam, miss, please use it slowly." The waiter said and left lightly.
Mrs. Xu picked up the cup and shook it a few times. She took a sip of the coffee very gracefully, then put the coffee down, like a noble lady, and said: "The coffee here tastes pretty good, you should try it. "
Yao Yiyi also took a sip and said with a smile: "It's really good."
For a moment, the two of them were silent, and the atmosphere was filled with unspeakable embarrassment.
After about two or three minutes, Mrs. Xu pretended to cough twice, fiddled with the dark coffee with a spoon, and said: "Yiyi, you know that Chengxun and Zhenzhen are in love, right?"
Yao Yiyi said with a smile on her face: "Is this true? Say congratulations to Chengxun for me. I haven't been back for two years, and I didn't expect them to get better. Yesterday I asked Chengxun and he was embarrassed to admit it. Now Well, I am very happy that Chengxun can have a good wife, I am really happy for him."
Mrs. Xu looked at her discreetly, fearing that she was just saying this to her hypocritically.
"You don't care?"
The smile on Yao Yiyi's face became more genuine. She never thought that one day she would learn to treat these ladies like snakes. She didn't like this kind of false communication, but many things were not her choice.
In the past, it was her unwillingness, not her inability. She hated falseness, but she didn't expect that she would also learn how to deal with such a suspicious and suspicious woman.
"Aunt, Chengxun and I are just good friends. I don't deny that I fell in love with him seven years ago, and I even thought about how happy it would be to marry him. But that was all when I was young. Seven years later, I have a husband who loves me and a sensible son. Of course, I hope that Chengxun can also find a good woman to grow old with him. I think Miss Li is a good woman." This is Yao Yiyi's true words.
The smile on Mrs. Xu's face was now a little more genuine.
"Yiyi, you are right to think so. Auntie used to treat a gentleman with a villain's heart. It's not a big deal for auntie to call you out today. She just wants you to stay away from Chengxun? You also know He is still unforgettable about you, and he and Zhenzhen are about to get married, and I don’t want your appearance to exaggerate their feelings." Mrs. Xu pretended to be a loving mother who was worried about her children's feelings.
"Chengxun is a very affectionate kid. If you hadn't come back, he might have forgotten you soon, but you came back and he saw you, so for my aunt's sake, you should be cruel to him. Don't give him any more unnecessary hope, and please understand my aunt, she also wants to have a grandchild."
The smile on Yao Yiyi's mouth remained unchanged, and she suddenly looked like a perfectly carved statue.
"Aunt, don't worry, I will try my best to keep a distance from Chengxun." Yao Yiyi said politely, but in her heart she sneered at Mrs. Xu's hypocrisy. Mrs. Xu always only considered her own interests, but never thought about it. She wonders whether she is lucky or not to have her own son. I don't know whether it is lucky or unfortunate for Xu Chengxun to be her son.
"This is naturally the best." Mrs. Xu grabbed Yao Yiyi's hand and said like a kind elder: "Yiyi, whether Auntie can hold her eldest grandson depends on your attitude towards Chengxun. In the past, it was Auntie's fault. , you have suffered a lot, but your aunt also helped you get together with the heir of the Ou family. As the saying goes, it was a blessing in disguise. You have become a wealthy lady, and our previous accounts can be considered It’s written off, right?”
Yao Yiyi looked at Mrs. Xu's hypocrisy. She had never thought that a person could be so shameless.
"Auntie, I don't know if there is any grudge between us."
Mrs. Xu gave Yao Yiyi a complicated look. She clearly felt that Yao Yiyi, whom she hadn't seen for two years, had become much stranger. She had already learned to be polite and hypocritical with her, but wasn't this good? Dealing with smart people is easy.
"You are such a good boy. As long as you have nothing to do with Chengxun, my aunt still likes you."
Yao Yiyi just smiled.
