"Don't you feel cold wearing this skirt?" he asked as soon as she put the breakfast on the table.
Su Yi smiled and said, "It's not cold. It's 24 degrees today. This skirt is just right for me. It's neither too cold nor too hot."
He was silent for a moment, and then stopped talking about her skirt and said, "Your hair..."
"What happened to my hair?"
Lan Fuchu took a mouthful of porridge and said lightly, "It has a smell."
Su Yi: “…”
Being told that, she was instantly embarrassed. She even turned her head to smell her hair, but she couldn't smell anything. "What smell are you talking about? Why can't I smell it?"
“I don’t know how to describe it, but it doesn’t smell very good.”
"..." Su Yi hesitated for a moment, "How about... I go wash my hair again?" Although time is a bit tight, it's better than going in such a sloppy way, right? It always feels rude to have a smell on your hair.
"That's not necessary." He looked indifferent, as if thinking for a moment, and said, "Just tie it up."
"Will you not be able to smell it if you tie it up?" Su Yi looked suspicious.
"Yes." Lan Fuchu confirmed.
Su Yi went into the bathroom half-believingly and tied her hair up, then came over to him and asked, "Now that it's tied up, can you help me smell it? Is there still any smell on your hair?"
Lan Fuchu pretended to smell it. Su Yi's hair had a light and elegant fragrance. He said softly, "It's done."
With her hair tied up, she finally doesn't look as charming as when it's let down.
Su Yi laughed when she heard what he said, "That's good, I'll go first, remember to have lunch."
"Um."
After Su Yi left, Lan Fuchu was eating breakfast. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something. He put down his tableware and called Mu Ziyin, "Youngest."
"Three three three... Third brother?" Lan Fuchu actually took the initiative to call him. This is unscientific!
"Are you free today?" Lan Fuchu went straight to the point.
"Yes, yes... What's wrong?"
"Help me with something."
"What's the matter?" The omnipotent Third Brother actually asked him to do something? What kind of evil wind was blowing today
"Are you free today, Boss?"
"No, just now when we were having breakfast, he said he had a lunch meeting at noon and would be leaving soon."
Lan Fuchu said calmly: "You will go with him later."
"Why?" Mu Ziyin was confused.
"No reason. Just follow him and tell me what you see and hear in real time."
"Is there some important secret here?" Mu Ziyin speculated.
"I guess so." Lan Fuchu took the phone, said a few words lightly, and hung up.
*
Su Yi drove the car and followed the navigation all the way to Gu Benmo's home.
The Gu family settled in an old house in the east of the city.
Su Yi had lived in that area when he was a child. People who could go in and out of that area were basically dignitaries.
When she was a child, she lived here with her grandparents. Later, her parents moved out and moved to a small commercial villa in Bihuating. But now, the house in Bihuating has been sold by Lu Zhen. She said that when she saw that house, she would recall many unpleasant memories, so Su Yi did not stop her, even though she had many memories of that house.
Su Yi's grandparents, that is, the parents of her father Su Youzhang, still live in the old house in the east of the city, but Su Yi has not seen them for many years. I heard that Su Youzhang remarried and married his first love Ruan Zaixiang. Ruan Zaixiang has a daughter who is one year older than Su Yi. Her original name was Kang Huijin, but later she changed her name to Su Huijin after Su Youzhang's surname and officially became the daughter of the Su family. She currently works in Su Youzhang's company as a general manager with great power.
In fact, Su Youzhang did look for Su Yi later. He not only came back to the capital to find her, but also went to the UK to visit her. However, Su Yi was unwilling to see him every time, leaving him empty-handed every time. After a long time, Su Youzhang stopped coming, but kept transferring money to her account. Su Yi did not refuse, nor did she use the money. She treated those things as not hers. How he wanted to compensate her was his business, and she would not appreciate it.
When they arrived at the Gu family mansion, Su Yi gave his name.
The guard immediately opened the door for her and respectfully pointed the way, "The young master is waiting for you in the lobby. Just drive straight in. It's the western-style building behind the fountain."
"Okay." Su Yi nodded, drove the car slowly in.
It can be said that my friendship with Gu Benmo evolved from an ill-fated relationship...
The car drove to the outside of the retro western-style building and stopped steadily.
Su Yi got out of the car holding his cell phone. The old houses in this area were all built similarly, with a historical flavor of the old times, simple and majestic.
Su Yi stepped into the hall and saw several tall and handsome men sitting on the sofa. They shouted happily: "Boys! I'm here!"
Mu Nanxi was the first one who was unwilling. He glanced at her from the sofa and said, "Who are your children? Do you think you can pretend to be your elders just because you returned home a few days before us?"
Su Yi smiled, "I'm so happy. What time did you come back last night? Did you sleep well?"
"Last night..." Mu Nanxi thought for a moment and asked Yan Tong beside him, "Hey, Yan Tong, we landed at 8:00 last night, right?"
"Eight thirty." Yan Tong said, pointing to a white robot wearing a black suit next to him, "Here, your Juesen, I brought it back to you."
Su Yi rushed over instantly and turned on the switch in Juesen's chest.
Juesen stood still with his two black chip eyes flashing, then turned red, scanning Su Yi's face recognition. After a moment, he said in a clear and melodious voice: "Auntie, good afternoon."
After hearing this name, there was a burst of laughter behind me.
This name actually has a history. At that time, Su Yi had just developed Juesen and originally wanted to call him baby, but Mu Nanxi disagreed. He felt that it would be funny if Juesen called Su Yi mom, so after some planning, he changed it to auntie.
But after she succeeded, Su Yi felt annoyed every moment. Was her head stuck in the door or was it covered in shit? There were so many good names, why did she want Juesen to call her aunt? Wouldn't it be better to call her boss or sister Su? Why did she have to call her aunt
"Baby Juesen, long time no see." Su Yi waved at him.
Juesen looked at her and raised a snow-white robotic hand to greet her, "Baby Juesen is fine, thank you for your concern, Auntie."
There was another burst of laughter behind him.
Veins popped up on Su Yi's forehead. He turned around and asked, "By the way, where's Ben Mo?"
"I'm here, look up."
Su Yi followed the sound and looked towards the fence on the second floor of the hall.
Gu Benmo stood there tall and slender, wearing a well-tailored light blue shirt and dark trousers. His narrow eyes reflected her, with an arrogant posture and an innate elegance and coldness.
Su Yi's lips curled into a smile, "Why are you still standing there when you see me coming? Acting like a statue?"
Someone nearby said, “Hahaha…”
Gu Benmo smiled and walked down nonchalantly, "No, I was just doing something in the study, and I came out when I heard you coming."
Su Yi glanced at his face and smiled faintly, "Where are we going to eat?"
"How about going to Yuhuatai?" Gu Benmo asked her opinion.
Su Yi felt a headache when she heard the name of this restaurant. The place where Song Yanan first welcomed her was also Yuhuatai. The food was delicious, but the environment was a bit cold and the food was expensive.
Lu Zhan said: "This restaurant has a very high reputation in China. We decided to go there last night."
"You can also go to Yilanfang." Mu Nanxi prefers Yilanfang.
Finally, everyone decided to go to Yilanfang, because they have crispy-skinned and tender roasted pigeon and whole roasted duck, which are the authentic flavors of the capital that have been passed down for many years.
When they arrived at Yilanfang, the waiter told them that they would not be able to get a table if they did not make a reservation half a month in advance. Everyone was disappointed, but in the end, no one knew what Gu Benmo said to the waiter, and the waiter immediately ran to ask the manager. Not long after, he came back and told Gu Benmo that there was a table, and led them from the first floor into a large private room with soft lighting.
Several people sat down around a large round table. Mu Nanxi said to Gu Benmo, "Benmo, you are really capable. You just moved your mouth a few times and the waiter immediately said there was a seat available."
Gu Benmo held a teacup, pursed his lips and smiled, "The most important thing is that everyone is happy."
"Happy, of course we are all happy. It's all thanks to you that we can have this meal." Lu Zhan took a tissue to wipe his glasses and said.
Yan Tong said with emotion: "I don't know how my parents are doing. They have been gone for several years. After dinner this afternoon, I will go home to see them."
"Me too." Mu Nanxi held the chopsticks, "I miss my parents so much."
Several people sighed from time to time.
Only Gu Benmo didn't say much.
Su Yi was in a good mood and called Song Yan'an with his mobile phone to tell him the address of Yilanfang. At the end, Song Yan'an said something. Su Yi nodded and looked up at Gu Benmo who was sitting next to him and said, "Benmo, my brother said he wants to bring a friend over. Is it okay with you?"
"Of course, it will be more lively with more people."
"Yeah." Su Yi smiled and told Song Yan'an what Gu Benmo meant.
