Xu Xu Xiangyi

Chapter 22

A few words that obviously still have unclear meanings, but they made her heart, which has been ups and downs for the past few days, feel a bit of relaxation.

After a good night's sleep, Chu Yiyi felt much better when she got up early.

When she went downstairs, she accidentally saw Wu Qi also there, and she even took the initiative to say hello.

Wu Qi looked up at her, "I heard that your little mother is not feeling well recently, why don't you go back and have a look?"

Chu Yiyi clicked her tongue, "Don't say such spoiling things in the morning."

"Okay then, let's change the subject." Wu Qi smiled, "Help me make an appointment with Han Run."

Chu Yiyi was startled, and looked at Wu Qi.

"Why, is it difficult?" Wu Qi smiled, "If it wasn't for your college classmate in the company, I wouldn't know that he is your senior."

Chu Yiyi smiled, "You found out. Well, you tell me the time, and I'll tell you, but whether he comes or not is his own business."

"I believe in Yiyi's face." Wu Qi smiled like a good man, "You will definitely not let me down."

……

When Chu Yiyi walked into the restaurant, the gentleman wearing glasses was already sitting on the seat waiting.

Seeing her, Han Run stood up, raised his hand slightly but put it down again.

Seeing his restrained appearance, Chu Yiyi knew that his old problem had recurred, so she reached out and gave this man a big hug, "Long time no see."

Han Run blushed and smiled, "Long time no see."

Sitting separately, Chu Yiyi had a teasing look on her face, "You are already a big shot to intimidate the Wu and Chu families, why are you still so coy?"

Han Run slightly raised his glasses, "This is different. Business is business..."

"That will disappoint you." Chu Yiyi interrupted him helplessly, "I really came here for business."

Han Run paused and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Chu Yiyi looked at him with a serious face, and pretended to be serious, "Can I do anything?"

Han Run nodded, "Anyway, it doesn't matter who you work for."

Chu Yiyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "If the person who pays you a lot of money hears this, won't you be so angry that you vomit blood?"

Han Run looked at her, "Mr. Chu's health is not bad, he should be able to bear it."

"Ah..." Chu Yiyi paused for a moment, forgetting that the big grievance she was teasing was her own father.

After the joke was over, Chu Yiyi explained the purpose of coming to Han Run, Han Run paused, and looked at Chu Yiyi: "Where do you want to stand?"

Chu Yiyi looked up at him, "I don't want to stand on either side."

Han Run was not surprised by her answer, but carefully analyzed: "In the past, the relationship between Wu and Chu was upstream and downstream, but now they are tit for tat. Mr. Chu is not satisfied with only being a supplier, and Mr. Wu is not happy to be limited at the source. If things go on like this, there will definitely be a game that will tell the winners and losers."

Chu Yiyi sighed, "Hearing this gives me a headache."

Han Run paused, and his tone was slightly weaker, "I just analyze it for you."

Chu Yiyi looked at him, and said bluntly: "I'm not against you, my father has another kind, you know?"

Han Run nodded.

"I didn't have any idea about his family property." Chu Yiyi smiled, "Anyway, this kind of comfortable life is quite comfortable."

"what about now?"

"Now, I want to save some money for retirement." Chu Yiyi said solemnly.

Han Run was stunned for a moment, "Retirement?"

Chu Yiyi nodded, "I want to see the mountains, the sea, and those places I didn't have time to see when I was young."

Han Run's gaze became more and more strange, and he said after a while: "This is really not like what you would say."

According to his understanding of Chu Yiyi, this person should be a tortoise, and he will not move as long as he can.

Or else it is a tortoise belonging to the peacock, dressed in fancy clothes and staying in place motionless.

More importantly, "You are very young now." Han Run frowned.

Chu Yiyi smiled.

Han Run realized that she was not joking, and paused slightly, "If you don't stand on both sides, there is only one way."

Chu Yiyi raised her eyebrows and looked at him, "I would like to hear more about it."

On the weekend, Chu Yiyi and Xu Min made an appointment to go out, and took Xiaoying to the Science and Technology Museum.

The little guy stared wide-eyed at the experiments done by the staff, and couldn't help clapping his little hands excitedly.

Chu Yiyi took out her mobile phone and took a picture of Xiaoying. She moved her eyes to Xu Min, who was looking at Xiaoying seriously, and took a photo as well.

Xu Min noticed her movement, turned around and smiled slightly.

Chu Yiyi also bent the corner of her mouth, and waved her hand at Xu Min, "Want to take a look? I'm very skilled."

Xu Min approached her a little bit, and looked at the photos of Chu Yiyi sliding her phone, several of which were Xiaoying's vivid expressions and movements, until a photo that appeared to be a chat record flashed across, and Chu Yiyi abruptly retracted it. cell phone.

Xu Min took the initiative to look away, "It's really a good shot."

Seeing her expression, Chu Yiyi regretted her reaction, no matter whether this person saw it or not, there was obviously something wrong with being so nervous.

She paused, took out her phone, and showed Xu Min the screenshot.

"I'm going to show it to Lin Ting." Chu Yiyi wanted to cover it up and said: "Don't think I don't know, she said behind my back that I have a bad temper. I want to show my good personality, Chu Yiyi, but it has been verified by my sister. of."

Xu Min's gaze fell on the screenshot that belonged to her and her chat.

Do you like it?

like……

If you take it out of context, it looks like a pure and beautiful confession.

There was a ripple in Xu Min's heart, but the smile on his face did not change, "Well, if necessary, I can also verify other things, such as the top ten good sisters, enthusiastic citizens of City C..."

Her joking tone dispelled the embarrassment in Chu Yiyi's heart, but there was also a sense of loss that rose inexplicably.

Chu Yiyi gave Xu Min a sad look.

But before Xu Min could receive Miss Chu's emotions, he heard his cell phone ring.

She glanced at the caller ID, gestured to Chu Yiyi, and then went to the side to borrow the phone.

Chu Yiyi took two steps towards Xiaoying, but subconsciously pricked up her ears, keenly grasping the title "Mr. He".

He Shenghong...

Chu Yiyi slightly rolled her eyes, the man's thoughts were too obvious.

The phone call was not short. After Xu Min hung up the phone, a large and a small were already standing in front of her, waiting to move on to the next venue.

As soon as she arrived at the Dinosaur Hall, Xiaoying rushed to the dinosaur egg hatching project that she was optimistic about at the beginning. She rubbed her two little hands on the sensor and carefully watched the reaction of the dinosaur eggs in front of her.

Chu Yiyi watched Xu Min reach out to help Xiaoying straighten her messy hair, and couldn't help asking, "Why did you refuse to go to the marketing department?"

When she was listening from the sidelines, she realized that things were not as she thought.

He Shenghong's real purpose was to invite Xu Min to work in the marketing department.

Xu Min paused, then looked back at Chu Yiyi, "Did you hear that?"

"Yeah." Chu Yiyi nodded, and said in a low voice, "You said the other day that you need to save enough education funds for Xiaoying. If you go to the marketing department, this goal should be achieved faster."

Xu Min thought for a while before replying, "I actually hesitated too."

The busy work some time ago made her want to change to a more relaxed way for a moment, such as agreeing to another request made by He Shenghong while inviting her to the marketing department.

If you simply consider the needs, He Shenghong is a good choice. With him, maybe Xiaoying won't be afraid of being alone at home.

But looking back, she just wanted to rely on something because of the momentary pressure.

Forming a new family is not as easy as imagined. If the idea of ​​starting a family is born only because of dependence, then this dependence will become a burden in the end.

What's more, she only needs to rely on Xiaoying.

As long as she thinks that Xiaoying needs her, no matter what happens, she feels that she can persevere.

"But the work of the marketing department is more flexible. I don't want to be called to change the plan suddenly while watching Xiaoying hatch dinosaurs."

As he said that, Xu Min's eyes fell on Chu Yiyi unconsciously, but soon moved to Xiaoying.

It's just that the smile in her eyes became more gentle, "It's good to take it slowly."

"Mom, mom, the baby dinosaur is out!" Xiaoying shouted happily.

"Xiaoying is awesome!" Xu Min gave Xiaoying a high-five lightly, "Do you want to play anything else?"

Chu Yiyi stood aside and watched the interaction between Xu Min and Xiaoying, the phone in her hand was still vibrating.

It was Han Run's call.

In fact, she also thought about whether she should reach out to help Xu Min directly. Whether it was taking care of Xiaoying or work problems, it shouldn't be difficult to solve them.

But if she really did that, there would be no difference between her and He Shenghong.

Chu Yiyi was silent for a long time, even Xiaoying could see something was wrong.The little guy poked the mother beside him and asked, "Mom, what's wrong with sister Yiyi?"

"Maybe you're tired." Xu Min looked at the sky outside, "Let's go home and let sister Yiyi go back to rest, okay?"

Xiaoying nodded obediently.

On the way back, Xiaoying dozed off on her mother's shoulder, so Xu Min put her in the back seat and sat in the front passenger seat.

Chu Yiyi glanced at Xu Min who was sitting beside her, pursed her lips slightly, and said nothing.

"What's wrong with you?" Xu Min asked bluntly.

"It's nothing." Chu Yiyi looked out the window, turned the steering wheel and drove onto the road.

Xu Min glanced at her with some concern, "I see you haven't answered the phone, what happened?"

Chu Yiyi looked ahead and shook her head, "It's nothing."

Xu Min paused for a moment, then looked at Chu Yiyi's phone which started to vibrate again.

"Yiyi..." She looked at Chu Yiyi, "Your phone."

"It has nothing to do with the phone, and it has nothing to do with whether you answer the phone or not." Chu Yiyi glanced at the phone, pressed the hang-up button, then looked at Xu Min, and said with a forced voice: "It's me who can't figure it out, don't worry about it." I."

This was Chu Yiyi's first explicit rejection, not because of politeness, nor because of hesitation.

Xu Min looked at her fixedly, the soft expression on his face restrained a little.

There was silence in the car, and Chu Yiyi's hand holding the steering wheel trembled slightly.

Her heart also sank.

How come it's like this again.

She obviously hasn't spoken out her true thoughts, so she pushes away the person she wants first.

The fingertips holding the steering wheel were almost pale. Although she knew what to say in her heart, Chu Yiyi's throat seemed to be blocked by something, and she couldn't say a word.

The car fell silent.

Xiaoying slept very comfortably, the sound of her breathing rose and fell rhythmically, and the two adults who were not clear about their minds remained silent all the way.

When they arrived at the community, Xu Min didn't wake Xiaoying up, but just opened the door and walked down, then stood on the side of the road.

Chu Yiyi sat in the car and watched her without moving.

After a while, her phone vibrated again.

Chu Yiyi looked at Xu Min who was standing on the side of the road, picked up the phone and put it to his ear, and then looked at herself.

She paused, picked up the mobile phone beside her, and looked at the caller ID.

elder sister……
