It wasn't until Ji Nuan's eyes saw several surveillance screens in the banquet hall above the rest room that she roughly understood what it meant to keep an eye on her.
Do you dare to think that you have been watched since you came in
Seeing that Ji Nuan's face was not so good, Mr. Xiao Zhenjun said: "Miss Ji, don't get me wrong, Quanzi rarely brings a female companion to the venue on weekdays. Because you are his female companion, I pay too much attention to you." .”
After hearing this reason, the mood in Ji Nuanmei's eyes became lighter: "Oh, that's it."
Although the old father's reason for paying attention to his son's female companion sounds very common, Ji Nuan clearly remembers that the person who invited her was not only Xiao Luye, but also Mr. Xiao Zhenjun.
What's more, Xiao Luye was obviously just joking with her and had never really been interested in her. Since he was not interested, he would definitely not let his father misunderstand him, let alone let her come in to see his father.
So what exactly is this reason? I’m afraid it’s not that simple.
She did not express her doubts, but looked at Mr. Xiao Zhenjun with a calm smile: "Mr. Xiao pays so much attention to Mr. Xiao's female companion. It seems that he hopes that Mr. Xiao will get married and start a family soon."
After saying that, she turned her eyes and looked at Xiao Luye: "Mr. Xiao must be over thirty. He is not married yet. Being so single is really worrying for the family. I know all the rich ladies in Haicheng. There are quite a few celebrities, do you need me to introduce a few to Mr. Xiao?"
The topic suddenly turned to him on purpose. Xiao Luye glanced at her with a warning look: "Thanks, no need."
Ji Nuan seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and was about to continue talking when Mr. Xiao Zhenjun suddenly smiled and said: "Miss Ji said that she knows the daughters of various families in Haicheng. This is true. After all, she is the eldest lady of the Ji family and was born and raised in Haicheng." , In my opinion, the plan just now is indeed good. If I have time to introduce a few more to Quanzi another day, it will also save him from being so determined to hang himself on a crooked tree. The key is that the tree does not belong to him at all. "
Xiao Luye's face darkened: "Old Xiao, what's the difference between getting married and not getting married? It seems like you have been quiet for a long time after getting married? Didn't you finally become a completely different person after more than 20 years? It's rare. After seeing it with your own eyes, I advise you to restrain yourself and don't try to tie everything up to my marriage."
Mr. Xiao Zhenjun suddenly glanced at him coldly. Xiao Luye didn't look at him, and his words clearly meant that he would stop there.
Ji Nuan felt that his IQ dropped to zero after entering this rest room.
He actually couldn't understand the conversation between the father and son at all.
However, seeing how fiercely the two of them were fighting each other, she, as an outsider, simply did not participate. She glanced at the expensive birthday flowers placed around her, as well as various potted flowers such as evergreen trees.
"Miss Ji, do you like flowers?" Mr. Xiao Zhenjun's voice suddenly said to her again: "Take whatever handful you like. Flowers are not suitable for old men like me, but they are suitable for young girls like you. If you like them, just take them away." Take it away, you’re welcome.”
"No, I just didn't want to disturb your chat with Mr. Xiao, I just took a look." Ji Nuan said politely.
Seeing her distant and polite look, Mr. Xiao Zhenjun looked at her for a while and smiled: "We were negligent. We completely regarded Miss Ji as one of our own, so we quarreled in front of you. Normally we, father and son, It's the same at home. No one gives in to anyone. This home is deserted, as if there are no relatives. It's rare for father and son to get together. They only discuss things in the company, or they are quarreling because of his marriage. Get up, haha, I’m so sorry that you have seen this kind of household chores..."
Ji Nuan didn't understand why Mr. Xiao, who was rumored to be very mysterious and could never be offended in the mall, said so many things to her, and it wasn't because she was the president of MN Group. Although she sounded polite, she still felt He seemed to have something in his words, but he was hiding it and not saying it clearly.
"It doesn't matter. I've always heard things that I shouldn't have heard in one ear and out the other. I can't remember anything, and I won't talk about these things to outsiders." Ji Nuan smiled faintly at the corner of her mouth, her eyes calm. Ordinary.
Mr. Xiao Zhenjun looked at her for a while, and then said: "Today is my fiftieth birthday. Although it is lively, I have not had anyone close to me to talk to for many years. Miss Ji is very suitable for me. Wait. After the birthday banquet is over, do you want to stay and have a meal together?"
"Mr. Xiao, you're welcome. Our MN Group and your group have never had any contact with each other before. It's an honor to be on the invited list today. The feast tonight is so luxurious and there are so many people here. I guess this birthday banquet At least it will end in the middle of the night. My stomach is not very good and I am not suitable for eating at night, so I might as well forget about staying for dinner. If we have the opportunity to cooperate with your group some other time, I will definitely do it. Take time out to have a good meal with Director Xiao and Mr. Xiao, but I don’t eat much and my drinking capacity isn’t very good, so you two must be more considerate.” Ji Nuan said as she picked up her phone and checked the time. : "It's getting late. Mr. Xiao is the protagonist tonight. Why don't you go out and celebrate with everyone?"
Seeing that Ji Nuan's rejection was very obvious and her words were tight-lipped, Mr. Xiao Zhenjun looked at her and then said with a smile: "Okay, we will definitely have opportunities to cooperate with MN Group in the near future. We have a long way to go."
…
Until he finally walked out of the rest room and saw that Ji Nuan's expression was as usual. Although he was suspicious, he didn't seem to want to ask anything. Xiao Luye looked at her and said, "Is there anything you want to ask?"
Ji Nuan stopped and turned his eyes to carefully examine the expression on Xiao Luye's face.
"What are you looking at?" Xiao Luye glanced at her with a frown, as if he felt uncomfortable being stared at by her.
"I'm thinking that maybe I just thought about the situation from the wrong perspective." Ji Nuan said calmly: "I feel that your father is not very anxious to find you a wife, nor does he want to force me to marry you. .”
Xiao Luye: "Nonsense."
"He actually just wants to find you a stepmother, right?"
Xiao Luye: "..."
Ji Nuan raised her hand and touched her face with a distressed look on her face: "I admit that I do have a little bit of beauty, but it shouldn't be to the point where it appeals to both young and old. Your dad wants to give me flowers again. He invited me to dinner, and even told me that he lacked a confidant to chat with. Could it be that he wanted to marry me back and make me your stepmother?"
Xiao Luye: "..."
Ji Nuan saw that Xiao Luye's face was turning green, as if she was holding back something she wanted to say but couldn't. She immediately looked at him with a bright smile and asked, "Hey, Mr. Xiao, do you lack maternal love?" ?”
