"Got it." Zhou Shaoting's tone was light, as if he didn't care. He paused, and then said loudly: "There are a lot of things in the company these days, and Yiyuan is very busy. YiyaoI heard that you helped take care of it a lot?"
Jin Xin's face was red up to the ears, trying to control the unnatural expression, stammeringly retorted: "Who said that? No way! I, I am not, am I not here to accompany you? I just went by the wayto see her."
"Oh." Zhou Shaoting nodded with a smile, noncommittal.
Xiao Shi looked at them silently, and felt that Jin Xin's behavior was very strange. It was obviously not like the respect and respect an assistant should have for his boss in front of people on weekdays, but rather like a long-standing friend? No, more like family.
His words and expressions, whether he was confessing or covering up, were all so natural, and even felt a little coquettish.
Because Zhou Shaoting had to attend an important meeting, he insisted on leaving the hospital early. In the end, his attending doctor compromised and agreed that he should be discharged the evening of the previous day.
When Jin Xin went to pick him up from the company, he was just in time for get off work, and met Yan Xiaoshi, and asked her if she wanted to go together without thinking. After asking, I felt abrupt again.
Unexpectedly, Yan Xiaoshi accepted his proposal, nodded and said "yes".
Xiao Shi faintly felt that something was wrong, but he indulged himself and did not refuse. This is not only because of Shao Ting's kindness, but also because of her own wishes.
The hospital, this unexpected setting, gave them a reason to meet and space to be alone. Here, she does not need to shy away from the eyes of outsiders, but she can also unload her own burden.
However, after he was discharged from the hospital, everything would return to normal. They no longer have the opportunity to get along so easily, whether it is under the watchful eyes of the company or when they go home after get off work.
Therefore, Xiaoshi felt that he should go there one last time to draw a successful conclusion to the past few days of getting along.
When Zhou Shaoting saw Xiaoshi, he was a little surprised and in a good mood, and asked her if she had dinner.
Before Xiaoshi answered, Jin Xin approached enthusiastically and said, "It's ready at home, Miss Yan, let's go have a light meal together, it's getting late, it's not convenient for you to go home alone .¡±
Zhou Shaoting glanced at him, and Jin Xin immediately added knowingly: "Oh, Madam has arrangements tonight and is not at home."
"Okay," Zhou Shaoting resolutely decided for the girl, "You can go to my place to eat."
Xiao Shi felt very uneasy, but Shao Ting had just been discharged from the hospital, and she didn't want to force him to come, so she obeyed.
When the three of them returned to Zhou's residence, both Lao Han and Aunt Tao came out to greet them and helped carry things. After seeing Xiao Shi, Aunt Tao's face was a little unnatural, and she kept winking at Jin Xin, but unfortunately, this guy was in such a good mood at the moment, she didn't care about it when she was talking and laughing.
Dinner has been prepared, a combination of Chinese and Western, very rich. The tempting aroma of food wafts through the dining room, mixed with the intoxicating sweetness of red wine and the elegant fragrance of flowers, which makes people feel happy and whet their appetite.
Xiaoshi's mood relaxed a little, and there was a calm smile on his face.
There was a distinct sound of wooden slippers stepping on the floor tiles. The excessive crispness broke the soft atmosphere of the restaurant, making people feel inexplicably nervous.
Zhu Ping's long hair was coiled up, and she was wearing a wine red silk shirt and black wide-leg pants. Even though she was at home, she was still capable and elegant.
She originally came downstairs with a slight smile, but when she saw Yan Xiaoshi, her raised lips turned into a tight straight line.
Xiao Shi secretly screamed in his heart that something was wrong, thinking about how to get out of the body.
Zhou Shaoting turned his questioning eyes to Jin Xin, who had a surprised and innocent expression, as if saying: I don't know what's going on
In order to remedy her recklessness, Jin Xin quietly moved to Xiaoshi's side, touched her with her hand below, and signaled that she would take her away first; at the same time, she asked Zhou Shaoting for instructions generously: "Then, I will send Yan first." Did the lady go back?"
Zhou Shaoting nodded in acquiescence. But Zhu Ping raised her chin slightly, looked at Yan Xiaoshi with some pride, and said in a delicate voice, "I'm here, let's eat together, as if I don't want to keep you. Anyway, You also helped take care of my son when he was hospitalized."
In fact, she is not interested in inviting such an unsightly little girl to dinner, but she just wants to take the opportunity to clarify some things and solve some doubts.
Xiaoshi could also vaguely guess her intentions, feeling that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, but she was an elder, and it was not easy to refuse abruptly, so she had to look at Zhou Shaoting as if asking for help.
Zhu Ping ignored them, walked to the table and sat down, motioning to her right hand.??It is easier to be controlled by emotions, say irrational words, and do things that are not calm. He was afraid that his mother would be angry with Xiaoshi, so he winked at her and signaled her to just go.
Xiaoshi understood, and carefully moved the chair back, preparing to leave.
However, Zhu Ping suddenly raised her voice, full of momentum, "Why, didn't your parents teach you the most basic respect for elders?"
Having finished the conversation, the two juniors fell silent.
Zhou Shaoting looked serious, secretly planning the next response. He didn't want Xiaoshi to be wronged, but he couldn't contradict his mother too much, otherwise, if the stalemate got out of hand, the conflicts would intensify in the future.
Yan Xiaoshi was shocked by Zhu Ping's sudden and fierce aura, but when she realized that the unkind words were alluding to her parents, she felt deeply unbearable humiliation.
Gradually, her accommodating and cowardice faded away, and a layer of inviolable awe-inspiring gradually spread over her expression. She straightly pulled out the chair and sat back, with the corners of her mouth sullen and silent. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
