When Lin Yuxi came out after work in the evening, Zhou Yanjing's Bentley was parked in front of the hospital.
Old Liu respectfully helped Lin Yuxi open the car door. Lin Yuxi glanced at Zhou Yanjing in the car: "Why are you here? Grandma isn't here to keep an eye on you, why bother..."
Why do you need to put on such a complete show?
Before she finished speaking, Zhou Yanjing turned the phone in his hand towards her.
Grandma's face was clearly visible on the screen.
Grandma said with a smile: "You are off work. Isn't it right for him to pick you up? Come back for dinner quickly. I made sweet and sour short ribs for you today."
Under the supervision of grandma's live video broadcast, Lin Yuxi had no choice but to get into Zhou Yanjing's car.
Zhou Yanjing was very busy. In order to spend more time with the old lady, he postponed some schedule and went home early. There were constant calls on the way.
When he was about to get home, Lin Yuxi turned around and asked while he was finishing a phone call: "Have you drafted the agreement yet?"
Zhou Yanjing didn't even raise his eyes, and said in a casual voice: "The lawyer is sick. I'm not Zhou Papi, so why should I work while I'm sick?"
"Forget it, let me draw it up." Lin Yuxi said, "It's not very complicated."
Zhou Yanjing raised his eyes and glanced at her, his tone somewhat sinister: "Doctor Lin is really versatile."
"What if I don't expect you to rely on me?" Lin Yuxi wanted to cut through the mess quickly, "Let's do it tomorrow. I can go to your place at noon."
Zhou Yanjing: "I have an appointment tomorrow."
"What about the day after tomorrow?"
"Going on a business trip the day after tomorrow."
"Then when will you come back?"
"The return date is uncertain."
Lin Yuxi frowned: "Then I'll sign and send it to your company. When will you come back and sign and go through the formalities. Even if you have a lot of things to do, you can always spare one minute."
Zhou Yanjing's expression also dimmed, as if someone suddenly lost his interest. He leaned against his seat and threw his phone aside.
"Next Monday."
When they got home, the two of them walked in the door together and acted like nothing happened in front of the old lady.
She didn't lock the door again at night for fear that the old lady would find out, but Zhou Yanjing didn't come back to stay either.
Afterwards, Zhou Yanjing went on a business trip as expected. In his absence, Lin Yuxi was out of sight and out of mind.
The old lady was very dissatisfied. She took Lin Yuxi's mobile phone to make video calls to Zhou Yanjing every night. Every time she called, she had to be included in the scene.
Zhou Yanjing was at a dinner party, and while he was taking a video, someone saw his name and made fun of him: "Sister-in-law is so punctual in checking up every day."
Zhou Yanjing snorted with unknown meaning: "This is your grandma."
As soon as the connection was connected, the old lady pouted unhappily: "If you haven't come back after a few days, is your project more important or my life?"
Zhou Yanjing said: "How about you take my life?"
There was an acquaintance at the table who had visited Zhou's house and recognized the old lady, and the others hurriedly followed her with a series of greetings.
Amidst the constant fawning sounds, Zhou Yanjing looked at the figure who was forced to appear in the corner of the screen.
Lin Yuxi didn't like to be sociable. When she found that there were many people around her, she stepped aside.
His face and most of his body were out of the shot, but his hands were still in the frame, massaging the legs of the old lady. His fingers were as green as green onions, and his wrists were as bright as snow.
Someone handed him a cigarette, and Zhou Yanjing held it in the corner of his mouth. The other person lit it for him with his hand on the fire, and said, "Is this my sister-in-law? Her hands look beautiful."
Zhou Yanjing raised his eyelids: "Did I let you see it?"
The other party said coquettishly and quickly moved out of the way.
Zhou Yanjing took his cell phone back and drove away those sycophants.
"Back tomorrow."
Lin Yuxi stayed at Zhou's house for a few days and went back to spend time with her grandma after work every day, even on weekends.
Yu Jiaxiao, who had been left out in the cold, started to have objections: "Are you sure she's not faking it? She wants to tie you up in Zhou's house and not let you go. That little old lady in your family is a pervert."
"You don't want to be a villain." Lin Yuxi warned her.
"Okay, okay, I have a villainous heart. You are a typical person who helped count the money after being sold!"
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yuxi continued cutting fruit.
The old lady's intention of bringing her and Zhou Yanjing together should not be too obvious, but whether she is real or pretending, it is a fact that she is not in good health. If you stay with her for a few more days, one day she will really leave, and Lin Yuxi will have less regrets. .
The old lady wanted to eat fruit yogurt, so she picked a few reddest strawberries.
After all, she has a pair of hands that hold a scalpel. Although she can't always master the heat and seasonings, her knife skills have improved rapidly.
Cut the strawberries into thin slices with even thickness, as rigorous as a laboratory.
"Why don't you just cut it into silk threads and sew it into a strawberry sweater?"
Zhou Yanjing, who didn't know when he would come back, was leaning on the island platform at the back. The sudden voice startled Lin Yuxi, and the knife in his hand shook.
She hissed, raised her finger, and made a small cut on her index finger.
Zhou Yanjing immediately straightened up and pulled her hand over: "Why are you so careless?"
Lin Yuxi was annoyed: "Isn't it because you are scary here?"
She pulled her hand away.
"Don't move." Zhou Yanjing held her hand forcefully and asked the servant to get the medicine kit. "The old lady insists on me watching you. I don't know what the danger will be if I cut a fruit. She may be afraid that you will be eaten by strawberries. Bar."
"Whatever bad thing you did, I can scare you into this with just a word."
The medicine box kept here is large and has a full range of medicines. He rummaged through it.
Lin Yuxi reached out for the saline solution, but he took it away first.
After cleaning her wound with saline, she disinfected it with an alcohol cotton ball, and finally wrapped it several times with gauze.
"Is that okay?" He was quite confident, "My medical skills are much better than your cooking skills."
Just a small wound requires medical skills.
Lin Yuxi held up a finger that was almost as fat as a popsicle and started to remove it: "Just put a band-aid on it."
"You don't know a good person's heart." Zhou Yanjing glanced at her sliced strawberries, "Did our family go bankrupt without my knowing it? Do we have to slice the strawberries to eat?"
"I didn't let you eat it, I cut it for grandma." Lin Yuxi walked away with the finished yogurt bowl.
During the meal, Lin Yuxi still sat next to Zhou Yanjing, but neither of them looked at the other.
Recently, Zhou Qizhen and Zhou Sheng'an came back early every day as long as they were not busy. The dining table was not too busy and everyone ate quietly. However, the old lady had a sharp eye and could tell that the atmosphere between Lin Yuxi and Zhou Yanjing was not right.
"Why aren't you talking? Did you quarrel again?" He glared at Zhou Yanjing, "Are you bullying Xiao Xi again?"
"Look how partial you are. I just came back. Where can I go to bully her?" Zhou Yanjing said, "Why don't you ask if she bullied me?"
"You deserve to bully you!" As soon as grandma said a few words, she seemed out of breath. Lin Yuxi was afraid that she would be angry, so she hurriedly said: "We didn't quarrel, it's good."
"real?"
"Really." Lin Yuxi looked sincere.
Grandma seemed to still have some doubts and asked them to prove it: "Then you stand together, hold hands, look into each other's eyes, and look into each other's eyes for a minute."
"No need..." Lin Yuxi didn't want to play with Zhou Yanjing.
Grandma stood up and walked over, holding one in each hand, directly pulling her and Zhou Yanjing up from their chairs, pushing them together so that they were facing each other.
Lin Yuxi resisted with all her body, not wanting to get close to Zhou Yanjing, and turned her face away: "Grandma..."
Zhou Yanjing also didn't look at her and said lazily: "I'm not a three-year-old child. Is it childish to still play like this?"
Grandma: "Look, it's just a quarrel!"
Ling Yaqiong couldn't help but said: "Don't worry about their young people's affairs."
Grandma stared: "I think you just don't wish them well!"
Ling Yaqiong had no excuse for being blamed.
The old lady covered her chest and sighed: "I'm old enough and have lived enough. The two of you are the ones I worry about the most. If you don't live a good life, you won't feel at ease when I leave..."
There were a few weak coughs in the middle.
Lin Yuxi couldn't bear to hear such words: "Don't say that."
The old lady was really capable of being a monster, so Zhou Yanjing reluctantly compromised: "Okay, okay, let me see, is that okay?"
After speaking, he lowered his head to look at Lin Yuxi, who was resisting: "If you don't cooperate, she will show you how to vomit blood."
"..."
