Xia Yu took advantage of the last minute to check in at the company, turn on her computer and check her emails, and spent half an hour sorting through her work in the past few days.
I also browsed the online news by the way. The news about Jiang Yayan has been overwhelmingly published, and even the TV news has reported it.
After that, Xia Yu pinched her eyebrows tiredly. She was busy looking for a kindergarten for Jiang Jiang yesterday. At night, Jiang Jiang pestered her to ask about her mother. She almost didn't sleep all night again. Now she has a lot of things to do before going to work. He got up and took the cup out, intending to pour a cup of coffee to wake up, but when he walked to the door of the tea room, he heard someone discussing inside.
"Hey, did you see Yang Ke'er and Mr. Yan coming over when you went to work in the morning?"
"I haven't seen it, but I heard it. It seems that the second wife gave Young Master Yan a death order and must marry her!"
"The eldest lady of the Yang family, a family like the Shen family will definitely not be an ordinary person when choosing a daughter-in-law. She doesn't deserve it if she doesn't have any background or strength!"
"That's true, Miss Yang is also pretty and she came back from studying abroad. But Young Master Yan doesn't seem to like her, and the eldest lady has a bad temper."
"No, we want Xia Yu's seat as soon as we come back. We are gossiping behind people's backs. Is Xia Yu's seat suitable for ordinary people to sit on?"
"No, in the past I really didn't think Xia Yu had anything outstanding, but since she came to Tengfei, the few things she has done are so beautiful, even if Yang Keer has the eldest daughter of the Yang family I can’t do it either.”
"That's true. I heard that Young Master Yan personally invited Xia Yu back this time."
The tea room is always the hub of gossip.
Xia Yu held the empty cup in her hand and listened for a while, then turned around and returned to the office without going in.
In Shen Yan's office, Cai Yanyan came in with a cup of coffee. There were also a few packets of sugar and a small cup of fresh milk on the tray.
"Ms. Yang, I don't know your taste. If you need to add sugar or milk, just call me."
Yang Keer got up from the sofa and took the whole plate, "It's too troublesome, thank you."
After suffering several losses, Yang Keer became humble.
"No thanks, you're so polite that you even brought us a gift."
Yang Keer smiled: "A little thought." After saying that, he glanced at Shen Yan who was talking to Liu Sijie inside, "Besides, you are Brother Yan's secretary, and he still needs your care at work."
Cai Yanyan was flattered and covered her mouth with a smile, "I'm embarrassed. Mr. Yan is my boss, and I should work with him." The two of them seemed to be getting more and more interested in each other as they chatted, and the woman's laughter spread to Shen Yan's office.
Shen Yan glanced at his eyebrows, his train of thought seemed to be interrupted, he raised his head and glanced at the cubicle window, just then Yang Keer came over and knocked on the door.
"Brother Yan, I've already booked the lunch restaurant. It's still early now. Can you lend me your secretary? I'm bored again and you want to take me around."
Can Shen Yan disagree? He could still feel calmer after the eldest lady left, so he nodded, and Yang Keer immediately took Cai Yanyan's arm and walked out, not forgetting to say goodbye to Liu Sijie before leaving.
After the door closed, Liu Sijie shook his head, "It seems that you have a lot of troubles. I bet that if Yang Keer comes here a few more times, I guarantee that everyone will say good things about her."
How many people can withstand sugar-coated bombs
Shen Yan glanced at Liu Sijie and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it!"
"Don't blame me for talking too much. If that person quits, I'm afraid you'll have another headache."
"so what?"
"So you have to take care of yourself!"
Xia Yu didn't expect to see Yang Keer in her office. What was she doing here? What's the matter with her? But there was still no expression on his face.
"Ms. Yang, do you have anything to do with me?" It's the most common opening statement, and the tone is very natural. The eldest lady had been flying around for a day, and now she came to her.
Yang Ke'er was still smiling, with a bright face, "It's really hard to ask Miss Xia for a meal. I've been waiting here for you all afternoon. Your subordinate said you took a few hours off."
Xia Yu didn't understand what she meant, "Eating?"
"Yes, I misunderstood you before. It was my fault. I apologize to you."
"You have already apologized, and the incident is over." Xia Yu said lightly.
"Ah, Miss Xia, what's your expression? My brother Yan's incident happened thanks to you, so I've been looking for an opportunity to thank you."
It turned out that it was because of this. Xia Yu nodded, "There is no need for food. I am a member of Tengfei. This is my responsibility."
"I know, but please don't be polite to me, Miss Xia. Look, I've been waiting here for you for a long time." Yang Keer simply walked up to Xia Yu. She was wearing a light gray suspender skirt with ginger underneath. Wearing a tight base layer top with some lace on the cuffs, a pair of high-heeled boots, makeup, and naturally curly hair, the whole person looks bright and beautiful.
The daughter of the Yang family comes from a well-known family and is generous.
"Xia Yu, I actually like you quite a lot, I really do! I admit that I'm being petty. That's because I love Brother Yan too much. I hope you can understand me."
"..." Xia Yu couldn't hold back such enthusiasm. She had been cold-tempered since she was a child, and she couldn't imagine how Yang Ke'er could do it before throwing someone into the mountains, yet he turned around and became so warm and natural.
"Sorry, I still have a lot of things to do today, and I may work overtime until late."
"That's it!" Yang Ke'er seemed a little disappointed, but soon a smile came back to her face, "It's okay, then I'll wait for you. If dinner isn't available, we'll have a midnight snack! I'll call the restaurant now and ask them to move the time." Yang Keer took the phone and really wanted to dial.
Xia Yu closed her eyes helplessly, "Miss Yang, you don't have to!"
"It's okay. I'm a member of that restaurant, and the boss there knows me. It's no problem to move the time. Tell me about what time you can finish. I'll ask them to prepare in advance."
This is the rhythm that Xia Yu will never give up until she eats this meal.
Xia Yu twisted her fingers and forget it, "Miss Yang, don't bother, just stick to the time you booked before."
"Does that mean you agree? Not to work overtime?" Yang Keer came over excitedly and took Xia Yu's hand. Xia Yu shrank back reflexively. She didn't like to be touched.
Yang Keer seemed to be aware of it, but was not embarrassed at all and let go naturally.
Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, "It's not time to get off work yet, how about?"
"I'll wait for you in the lobby downstairs. Let's go to the restaurant together at five o'clock." After Yang Keer said that, she turned around and left, not giving Xia Yu any chance to regret.
After the people left, Xia Yu sat down on the chair a little tiredly and leaned back. Heaving a sigh of relief, Xia Yu turned off the computer and prepared to go downstairs after a quarter of an hour. Before leaving, he went to the bathroom and rinsed his face.
She didn't sleep all night last night, and she worked hard all day today. Her face was haggard and there were dark circles under her eyes. She suddenly thought of Yang Keer's bright and fresh makeup and yellow dress, but the woman in the mirror looked so haggard.
When Xia Yu went downstairs, she realized that it had started to rain outside. The current weather forecast was so accurate!
"Miss Xia!"
Yang Keer, who was waiting at the door, waved to her. Xia Yu walked over and found that she had added a white coat on top, with jade and fleshy red lips, which made her look even more beautiful.
You should touch up your makeup, Xia Yu quickly came to this conclusion in her mind.
"Are you driving?"
"No, I came with Brother Yan this morning!" Yang Keer replied with a smile.
Yes, yes, Xia Yu thought of the discussion she heard in the tea room in the morning and felt that she had asked too much.
"It's raining outside. Just wait here and I'll bring the car over." She hasn't returned Liu Sijie's car keys yet, but they come in handy now. He took his bag and was about to go out. As soon as the glass door opened, a black off-road vehicle stopped in front of him.
"Brother Yan, here!" Yang Keer shouted from behind.
The window of the off-road vehicle was lowered, and before Xia Yu realized anything, Yang Keer had already dragged her to the side of the car.
Yang Keer said with a smile: "I made an appointment with Miss Xia to have dinner with us, don't you mind?"
Xia Yu looked at Shen Yan and saw that he was also confused.
It was obvious that the people in the car were completely unaware of this arrangement. Shen Yan turned to look at Xia Yu coldly.
Xia Yu took her wrist out of Yang Ke'er's hand and said, "Since Miss Yang has an appointment, let's wait for another day."
If she had known that this man was also going, she would probably never agree to Yang Ke'er's dinner, but how could Yang Ke'er agree and grabbed Xia Yu's hand again.
"No, it's okay if Brother Yan is here, not to mention that you can pay for us if you take him there!" This didn't sound like a joke, and Xia Yu suddenly felt as if she had fallen into a pit.
"Get in the car!" Shen Yan, who had been sitting silently in the car, finally spoke out. His voice was very light and his emotions could not be heard.
In the end, Xia Yu was invited into the car by Yang Keer's enthusiasm. The two women sat in the back seat. Yang Keer was talkative and enthusiastic, and there were always endless topics to talk about. Xia Yu only talked when she couldn't deal with it. She could answer a few sentences, most of which were monosyllables of um, um, ah, and most of the time she sat quietly, staring out the window, with her hands folded naturally on her knees.
Shen Yan occasionally looked back through the rearview mirror. There were two women in the back seat, one with bright makeup, one with modest makeup, one enthusiastic and cheerful, and the other lifeless.
About half an hour later, the car stopped in the parking lot of Ruyilu.
"We're here, get off the car!" Yang Ke'er patted Xia Yu's knee.
On the other side of the car door, Shen Yan had already held an umbrella over Yang Ke'er's head. The two of them held an umbrella together and walked around the car. It was raining heavily. Xia Yu glanced at the pair under the umbrella and thought of herself. Go to the main entrance of Ruyihu.
When they arrived at the door, Xia Yu remained expressionless and motionless, standing at the door. It took half a minute for them to come over.
"Master Yan, Miss Yang, the box has been reserved for you. The one on the south side on the second floor. Give me the umbrella!" The waiter enthusiastically took the umbrella from Shen Yan's hand, folded it up and shook it twice. Many raindrops fell, and a few just happened to splash onto Xia Yu's hands.
The rain was cold, and her hands were even colder.
"Miss Xia, why don't you go in?" Yang Ke'er spoke first.
Shen Yan glanced at Xia Yu who was standing at the door. Her hair and clothes were a little wet.
"Let's go to the private room upstairs!" Yang Ke'er tried to grab Xia Yu's hand again, but Xia Yu dodged in time.
The group of people was led upstairs by the waiter, with Xia Yu still following behind. The pair in front walked side by side, and Yang Keer's hand naturally held Shen Yan's arm.
At the top of the stairs, Shen Mo and Zeng Mina were supporting the old lady and met them.
"Auntie, are you here too?" Yang Keer hurriedly walked over, pushed Zeng Mina aside, took her place, and held the old lady's arm acting coquettishly.
Zeng Mina was furious for a while, but she didn't want to get angry. She said nonchalantly from the side, "Grandma has a bad appetite recently. I heard that the big boss of Ruyilu has come to S City and wants to come over and try his craftsmanship."
"You told me earlier, I just made a reservation, my aunt, I will help you up." Yang Keer said with a smile.
"We also made a reservation." Zeng Mina was unhappy when Yang Keer blocked her.
