When Tang Eryuan woke up, there was a red mark on his face from the mobile phone, he reached out and rubbed it, and then he didn't care about it anymore.
The sun outside the house shone warmly into the house, he sat up from the quilt, stretched lazily, then picked up the phone, glanced at the address that Li Can sent him last night, and then forwarded the address I gave it to Zhou Ze, and asked Zhou Ze's parents to have dinner there. Anyway, the place Li Can introduced would not be bad.
After Tang Eryuan washed up, the red marks on his face had faded, he patted his face with satisfaction, and smiled in the mirror.
When he came out, Zhou Ze had already replied to the message, "Got it, good morning."
Tang Eryuan felt a little bored, so she replied 'see you at noon' and threw the phone aside.
He stayed in the studio for a whole morning, drawing design drafts all the time. He studied design at university and opened a studio by himself after graduation. He has free time on weekdays. When he gets inspired, he draws. When he has no inspiration, Just playing around and looking for inspiration is suitable for his character who doesn't like to be restrained.
Li Can's mother runs a fashion company. Tang Eryuan has cooperated with her company several times, so she is very familiar with the location of her company, and the nearby restaurants are not unfamiliar. It's just the store Li Can mentioned, but he still has it. Haven't been there, maybe it just opened recently.
At noon, he finally put down his pen, went to the cloakroom, found a slightly more formal coat, and set off.
When he went downstairs, he unconsciously stared at his toes. He walked steadily with every step, and he couldn't see the slightest joy. He was not even happy when he made an appointment with Li Can to go to the hotel.
He savored it carefully, and his mood can be said to be very calm, not disturbed, not nervous, it seems that when he was proposed by Red Rose, he was not as excited as he imagined, nor was he as excited as he imagined when he saw Red Rose's parents. Will he not be as excited as he imagined even if he actually marries Hong Meigui in the future
Tang Eryuan arrived at the parking lot while thinking. He withdrew his thoughts and drove to the agreed place according to the navigation. He arrived a little earlier than the agreed time. After all, the other party was an elder. As a junior, he should have arrived earlier.
This store is just like Li Can said, the decoration is retro and elegant, the real scene of the small bridge and flowing water in the store is pleasing to the eye, and the room is full of tea fragrance, which is indeed the type that elders will like.
"Give me a quieter position."
The waiter said: "Sir, I'm sorry, we are a membership system here, and only members can enter to eat."
"How to apply for membership?" Tang Eryuan frowned.
"Sir, the members in our store need to be introduced by regular customers, you can't do it yourself."
Tang Eryuan frowned, and said in his heart that he would be troubled. If he had known earlier, he would not have come here. Now it will be the appointed time soon, and it would be very inconvenient to change places.
He picked up his mobile phone and wanted to make a call to Li Can, but before the call was connected, a person who looked like a foreman hurried over, looked at Tang Eryuan, smiled and asked, "Are you Mr. Tang?"
Tang Eryuan nodded, "You know me?"
The foreman smiled graciously, "Of course I don't have the chance to meet Mr. Tang. Mr. Li said that you will come over for dinner in the near future and told us to treat you well. He also said that all the money you spend will be charged to his account."
Tang Eryuan put away his phone, it seemed that Li Can had already said hello, he asked with some doubts: "How do you recognize that I am the person he said?"
"Boss Li gave me a photo."
"Photo?" Tang Eryuan didn't remember that Li Can had his photo, so he couldn't help being curious, "What photo?"
The foreman took out his brain, rummaged through it for a while, found a photo, and handed it to Tang Eryuan, "This is the one that President Li sent me."
In the photo, Tang Eryuan is wearing a bathrobe, holding a glass of red wine, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the hotel, looking at the rain scene outside the window, her face is fair, her lips are bright red, and she looks a little lazy. ', Candidly photographed by Li Can.
Looking at the familiar background of the hotel, Tang Eryuan's cheeks blushed unnaturally. He uploaded the photo to his smart brain, and completely deleted the photo from the head waiter's smart brain before returning the smart brain to the head waiter.
"When did Li Can tell you?"
He moved quite quickly. I only asked him where the hotel was last night, and he had already made an appointment in advance today.
"Just now." The foreman looked at Tang Eryuan in surprise, then smiled and said, "Boss Li is having dinner inside, I thought you two had an appointment to meet."
Tang Eryuan was a little surprised, "He is here?"
The foreman pointed to the direction of the store, "Mr. Li and his mother are eating, right there."
Tang Eryuan looked in the direction he pointed, which was blocked by an ecological wall. Tang Eryuan took two steps to the side before seeing a familiar figure. Li Can was sitting with his back to him, and beside him was a Tang Eryuan couldn't see the face of that person, Li's mother was sitting opposite Li Can, Tang Eryuan looked over and met Li's mother's eyes.
When Li's mother saw Tang Eryuan's eyes lit up, she waved enthusiastically. At the beginning, Li Can introduced Tang Eryuan to her. Li Can said that he had a friend who was very talented and could cooperate with him. She originally thought that her son I just said this to help my friend, after all, the other party is just a kid who just graduated, she didn't hold out too much hope, but she didn't expect that Tang Eryuan is really talented in design, and every time she designs something, she is very impressed. very satisfied.
She has to admit that working with Tang Eryuan is a very pleasant thing. She originally opened a design company, and naturally appreciates Tang Eryuan's talent from a professional perspective. Later, she found that Tang Eryuan's personality is pleasing , and she has a very friendly temper, so I can't help liking this child more and more.
Tang Eryuan also liked Mama Li very much. She smiled at her from a distance, and then told the foreman, "Help me find a quiet place. There are four people in total. As for the dishes, you can choose the signature dishes in the restaurant and prepare them. If it’s not enough, I’ll add more when everyone arrives, and I’ll pay the fee myself later, don’t charge Mr. Li.”
"Okay, please call Mr. Tang, I will arrange it right away." The foreman smiled and responded in a low voice.
Tang Eryuan nodded, and walked towards Li Can's table. When he was about to walk, he happened to see the profile of the person next to Li Can.
Tang Eryuan paused, and the person next to Li Can was Li Xinran.
... Li Can and Li Xinran are also here to meet their parents
Tang Eryuan's expression darkened, and he wanted to turn around and leave for no reason, but his rationality stopped him. He pursed his lips and walked over with a smile on his face.
He smiled at Li's mother, "Auntie."
Li's mother looked at him happily, patted his hand, and asked softly, "Yuanyuan, are you coming to eat too?"
Well, Li's mother always followed Li Can and called him Yuanyuan.
But Li's mother called Yuanyuan very nicely, so Tang Eryuan didn't refute, but nodded with a smile, then turned to look at Li Can and Li Xinran, and said flatly, "President Li, Director Li, what a coincidence. "
Li Xinran smiled gently, "Eryuan, we meet again."
When Li Can heard Tang Eryuan's unfamiliar address, he raised his head and looked at Tang Eryuan with accusation in his eyes.
She's been on the bed so many times, why did she turn back to Mr. Li
Tang Eryuan was unmoved and didn't even look at him.
Probably because Li Can stared at Tang Eryuan too clearly, Li's mother scolded him, "Don't bully Yuanyuan."
Li Can smiled mischievously at his mother: "How dare I."
Li's mother laughed twice and let him go temporarily.
Li Can looked up at Tang Eryuan, and asked warmly, "Yuanyuan, didn't you say you wanted to come with the elders? Why are you the only one?"
Before Tang Eryuan could speak, Zhou Ze's voice sounded behind him: "Eryuan."
When Li Xinran heard Zhou Ze's voice, she didn't turn her head, but her body stiffened obviously, and the smile on her face disappeared.
Tang Eryuan looked at Zhou Ze, then at Li Xinran and Li Can.
Embarrassing, really embarrassing.
He regretted it very much, he shouldn't have asked Li Can where the restaurant was good last night, and he shouldn't have invited Zhou's parents to dinner near Mama Li's company.
When Zhou Ze saw Li Xinran, his eyes only changed imperceptibly, and then he quickly returned to his calm look. It seemed that he had completely let go of Li Xinran as he said.
Zhou Ze's father stood behind him. He looked very similar to Zhou Ze, except that his face was more wrinkled. He had been in the mall for a long time, his brows and eyes were full of cruelty, and his skin was darker than Zhou Ze's. He also saw Li Xinran , immediately snorted from his nostrils, pursed the corners of his mouth lightly, and turned his head away in disdain.
He didn't like Li Xinran back then, and it's even worse now.
Zhou Ze's mother was in poor health. She was sitting in a wheelchair and was pushed in front of her by Zhou Ze, with a thin blanket covering her legs. Li Xinran didn't respond at all.
Tang Eryuan walked over and greeted respectfully: "Uncle, aunt."
Zhou's mother nodded lightly, she didn't seem to be so anxious to meet her son's future partner as Zhou Ze said.
Instead, Zhou's father immediately showed a smile, which was different from the expression he had when facing Li Xinran. He said to Tang Eryuan with a smile on his face, "Eryuan, you are a good-looking talent. General Tang is really blessed."
"You're being polite." Tang Eryuan smiled modestly.
Zhou's father went over to call Li's mother to take care of them. We had been in the mall for a long time and had known each other for a long time. Li Can also stood up and greeted Zhou's father and Zhou's mother with a sullen face.
Father Zhou glanced at Li Can, then condescendingly at Li Xinran, and pointedly said: "Mr. Li is young and promising, and the Li family has a strict family style. Don't let those who are planning to find a rich man Those who reach the sky in one step have an opportunity to take advantage of, Mr. Li must be careful in choosing friends."
Li Xinran's complexion turned pale, his eyes were watery, and he bit his lower lip tightly, without looking up.
Li Can frowned in displeasure, and just about to refute, Li's mother said calmly, "Don't bother Mr. Zhou to worry about our Li family's affairs. Whatever the problem, I trust him."
Zhou's father snorted in displeasure, but finally stopped, and didn't say any more. After all, the Li family is becoming more and more powerful now, and he can't offend it.
Tang Eryuan smiled awkwardly, and led them to the direction that the foreman had just arranged, "Uncle, aunt, you go and sit first."
Zhou Ze was also full of embarrassment, but he couldn't refute Zhou's father. He just glanced at Li Xinran's stiff back intentionally or unintentionally, then raised his head and said softly to Tang Eryuan, "I'll take my parents there first."
"Okay." Tang Eryuan nodded.
Zhou Ze turned to Zhou's father and said, "Dad, let's go."
Seeing that Zhou Ze didn't respond to Li Xinran, Zhou's father was finally satisfied, and followed Zhou Ze over.
Tang Eryuan turned her head and said to Li's mother, "Auntie, I'll go there first, take your time."
"Go." Li's mother looked between Tang Eryuan and the Zhou family with probing eyes, but didn't ask any more questions.
Tang Eryuan turned her head and found that Li Xinran's eyes were reddish, looking a little pitiful.
Li Xinran raised his head and forced a smile at him, then lowered his head again.
And Li Can... was staring at Tang Eryuan with a livid face. If he had known that Tang Eryuan was going to have dinner with Zhou Ze's parents, he would have recommended the worst restaurant!
Tang Eryuan glared back at him, turned and left.
Li's mother looked at Tang Eryuan's back as she walked away, and opened her mouth hesitantly. She saw Tang Eryuan sitting down beside Zhou Ze, she couldn't help showing heartache, she covered her chest and looked away. Moving to Li Can's body, he glared at Li Can bitterly.
Li Can: "???"
