PFC Chapter 188: You’re finally getting the idea!
Chapter 188: You’re finally getting the idea!
Xing Mingyu held his cell phone and looked at his mother who was sitting in the middle of the living room with naturally cold eyes, somewhat confused.
Seeing the confusion on her son's face, Xie Qiong's suppressed anger began to rise. She couldn't help but pick up the chrysanthemum tea in front of her and took several sips. When her anger gradually subsided, she looked at the man sitting opposite her and got straight to the point.
"Do you really not understand, or are you pretending to be confused? You bought phone watches for my two precious grandchildren and agreed to let them go to the Jiang family. Aunt Li has already reported this to me."
"Today is the weekend, and those two kids like to be close to the eldest daughter of the Jiang family. If they want to go, I have nothing to say. But look at what time it is now! I just want to ask, when will you go to pick up my two precious grandchildren?" Xie Qiong pointed at the watch on her hand and asked coldly.
Xing Mingyu said nothing and silently turned on his private cell phone.
Seeing this, Xie Qiong stood up with a bang!
She reached out and snatched his phone away, anger evident on her face: "I'm asking you a question! What are you looking at on your phone?"
Xing Mingyu's communication with his family was always cold: "I..."
"What do you mean by me?" Xie Qiong ignored her elegance and etiquette and directly interrupted her emotionally unsuccessful son: "You don't want me to pick them up, do you? I'm telling you, don't even think about it! For your sake, I shamelessly went to the Jiang family last time, but Qianxun was still angry and ignored me! I can't bring myself to go a second time. After all, they are your wife and children, you can choose whether to take them or not!"
"But Jingbao and Xingbao are my precious grandchildren. You agreed to let them go, so you have to be responsible for bringing them back! Look at what time it is now, it's almost six o'clock! It will be almost seven o'clock when we bring the children back, and they still have to eat, wash, and go to bed. If you calculate the time, it will be almost nine o'clock when they are done. Usually they fall asleep at nine o'clock! It's okay for you to stay up late, but do you want your children to stay up late too?"
After Xie Qiong finished scolding, she threw the man's phone onto the glass table in front of her: "I don't care! You agreed to send the child over, now you must go and pick the child up in person!"
Xing Mingyu picked up the phone helplessly and lowered his head to enter the password.
Seeing this, Xie Qiong hurriedly urged him: "Why are you standing there? Go quickly!"
After saying that, Xie Qiong seemed to have thought of something, and followed up with another sentence: "It's dinner time now, there are many cake shops on the street, you can buy some desserts on the way, girls love to eat them... why don't you go!"
Xing Mingyu didn't answer, but directly dialed a number: "Uncle Song, send the car keys over."
Xie Qiong: “…”
After calming down, Xie Qiong was stunned. In the past, whether it was his blind date that failed or his son directly ignored the girl, how she scolded him, how the elders in the family got angry, when did this bachelor ever care?
Not to mention listening to the elders.
This time... why was he so obedient and went down the slope?
Xie Qiong thought about it and felt happy!
I’m afraid that... this thousand-year-old lump of wood is finally coming to its senses!
five minutes later.
The stretched Lincoln slowly drove out of the courtyard again and headed towards the Jiang family.
On the way, when the car passed by a brightly lit cake shop, Xing Mingyu suddenly remembered what his mother had just said and the advice given by the high school student at the party.
He pursed his thin lips awkwardly and parked the car in a parking space on the side of the road.
The man pushed open the car door with his bony hands, got out of the car calmly, and walked into the cake shop in front with his long legs.
The weather turned suddenly cold last night, so there were fewer pedestrians outside. Even fewer people came into branded cake shops with higher consumption levels to hang out. When Xing Mingyu came in, there was only one female clerk in the store.
The female waiter looked to be in her twenties, with the eyes still showing the clarity of a person who had just entered society. This was the first top-notch man like the one in front of her, dressed in a suit and looking serious and solemn, that she had seen since she started working as a waitress.
He was nearly 1.9 meters tall, and wore a well-tailored suit meticulously. What was even more amazing was his face, which clearly said "keep away from strangers", but it exuded a fatal attraction. She almost couldn't walk.
Fortunately, although she did not have much work experience, she was very professional. She quickly came to her senses, clasped her hands in front of her, and walked over with a smile on her face.
"Welcome to our store, sir. What would you like to buy?"
The female clerk had been trying to calm her tone, but when she saw the man with a cold temperament and outstanding looks up close, her voice couldn't help but tremble.
One is fear of the man’s aura, and the other is excitement.
So handsome! Whose tall, rich and handsome guy is this?
Xing Mingyu glanced at the pretty female clerk and asked, "Where is the cheesecake?"
He remembered that when the little woman was trying to protect her pregnancy, her favorite pastry was cheesecake.
Hearing the man's deep and pleasant voice, the female clerk felt like her ears were pregnant and a layer of redness quietly crept up on her ears.
But the man's voice was extremely oppressive. She blushed but had to answer his questions respectfully.
"The cheesecake is over here, sir, please come this way." The female clerk said as she extended her hand to lead the man to the two rows of shelves at the back and tried to make a recommendation to him.
"I wonder if you are buying cheesecake to celebrate your birthday or for daily consumption. For birthday cakes, I can customize the style you want. If you are buying cheesecake for daily consumption, there are different flavors here. You see, these fruity flavors are more suitable for children, and these are more suitable for young people."
Xing Mingyu didn't answer, but stopped in front of the shelf that suits young people's tastes.
Seeing this, the female clerk asked kindly, "It seems that you are buying this for a friend, sir. Is it for a male friend or a female friend? For a male, light and sweet flavors are suitable, while most girls like tiramisu, rose double cheese, etc."
"I want something suitable for pregnant women. She likes something light and sweet."
Pregnant women!!
The female clerk chewed on these two key words, and with a "click", she seemed to hear the sound of her own heart breaking.
Such a great man not only has a girlfriend or wife, but she is also pregnant!
Which lucky goddess is this? Did she save the galaxy in her previous life? She actually met such a top-notch man and got pregnant. This top-notch man was so considerate that he bought her a cake in person.
However, although she was surprised, the female clerk still had her professional qualities. She hid her envy and surprise in her heart and continued to introduce the man.
"Sir, if you want to choose something for your loved one, I recommend you buy the heart-shaped Dacquoise. It has a good color, aroma and taste, and there are many flavors, including original, coconut, raspberry, chocolate hazelnut, caramel, mango..."
Xing Mingyu's deep gaze slid across the top row of cakes inch by inch. Finally, he raised his right hand wearing a black watch and pointed to the one on the far left with "Sweet and Sour Double Berry Flavor" written on it.
"Please pack that one for me."
The salesgirl said OK and immediately went over to wrap it up.
After paying, when she handed the cake to the man, the female clerk saw the man's slender white fingers taking the bag from a close distance. Her face turned red again. Although she knew that the man was already taken, she couldn't help but soften her voice: "Sir, your cake, welcome to come next time."
Xing Mingyu took the palm-sized heart-shaped cheesecake and turned and left without even looking at the waitress.
After getting in the car, Xing Mingyu put down the small cake in the small flat box.
The vehicle was restarted and the stretched Lincoln merged back into traffic.
......
About half an hour later, at the gate of Jiang family.
After Xing Mingyu waited for Uncle Jiang to come out and open the door, he stepped on the accelerator and the car stopped steadily in the front yard of the Jiang family villa.
After Uncle Jiang closed the door, he came over to open the car door for him, but found that the door could not be opened. He could only stand aside respectfully, but he felt relieved in his heart.
My husband is finally here!
God knows how excited he was when his wife called to inform him, he almost set off firecrackers to welcome her.
inside the car.
Xing Ming Yuba's deep eyes fell on the small cheesecake beside him. After a moment, he kicked the cheesecake box into his suit pocket.
Open the car door and get out!
Aunt Lan heard the noise and came out to the stone steps at the main entrance of the villa. She felt a little unhappy when she saw that the man who had disappeared for a long time had finally arrived.
She had even thought about it. In order to vent her anger and support her little girl, she would say a few words to him no matter what! Anyway, he was not her boss, so she didn't have to wait for him to pay her salary.
But when the noble man stepped onto the stone steps with his long legs, before he came close to her, Aunt Lan felt that familiar sense of oppression again!
So, the curse words she had meant to use to insult him somehow turned into respectful and gentle words.
"Mr. Xing, you are here."
After realizing what she had said, Aunt Lan was furious and cursed herself for being useless in her heart!
What happened to the scolding?
Next to him, hearing Aunt Lan's words, Xing Mingyu slowed down his pace, nodded to the kind and loyal woman in front of him, and hummed softly.
Feeling the man's respect for her, and thinking of the phone call she heard last time he drove her to square dance, Aunt Lan's heart softened a little.
By the time she realized what was happening, she had already taken the initiative to reveal the whereabouts of her little daughter.
"The eldest lady and the two children are on the second floor."
"it is good!"
The man said ok, and with Uncle Jiang's greeting, he strode into the hall of the Jiang family villa.
Aunt Lan was left alone at the door, slapping herself in the face.
Oh my god! What on earth am I doing?
I should be angry on behalf of the young lady, but why can't I control my mouth?
In front, the hall of Jiang family villa.
It wasn't just Aunt Lan who was out of control, but also the seven men and women sitting in the living room!
Although they had seen the stretched Lincoln drive into the yard, their eyes had been on the man!
But the feeling is different from long distance and close distance.
Looking out through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows from the living room, they could only see the man's tall and slender figure and his cold temperament.
But when the man walked into the hall with his long legs, and everyone saw his handsome face as delicate as if it was carved by a knife, his sharp aura that could not be ignored, and his innate dignity, they couldn't help but look at him and couldn't move their eyes away.
Until Meng Zixi broke the silence and took the initiative to call out, "Hello, Mr. Xing!"
Wen Aihua and the others came to their senses, stood up automatically, nodded at the man like a parrot, and shouted "Hello!"
Only Chen Zheng, who was sitting in the middle of the sofa, did not move.
He neither stood up nor said hello. He just glanced at the man indifferently and then continued to look down at his phone.
Xing Mingyu handed the windbreaker he took off to Uncle Jiang, and his sharp eyes swept over Chen Zheng indifferently.
Two seconds later, he responded indifferently to Meng Zixi and others, took a long step, and went straight to the second floor.
