Su Mingruan took some food suitable for her to eat, sat in the corner and listened with her ears pricked up.
After Huo Huaiyuan and Qin Yiran got their meals, they tried it briefly.
The two first commented on the pros and cons of the restaurant.
Su Mingruan pricked up his ears after hearing this and analyzed it carefully. The shortcomings they mentioned were nothing more than the crowds and noise and not being quiet enough.
The advantages are high quality and low price, the dishes are fresh, of good quality and taste good.
It is an affordable restaurant, so the shortcomings mentioned by these two people are not shortcomings to her.
As for the advantages, she smiled after hearing it. She personally supervised the quality control, so there couldn't be any problems.
Huo Huaiyuan talked about what happened during the day.
Su Mingruan's eyes were very good.
Several meters away, she could see Qin Yiran's clenched fists, tense mandible, and the emotions she was trying to control.
"So, there is a problem with Zheng Jun, and there is a problem with that friend of yours. I suggest you break up with them. Those who are close to red are red and those who are close to ink are black. You are simple by nature. If you continue to get along with such people, I'm afraid..."
"I know." Qin Yiran tried to remain elegant.
The steel fork in her hand was almost crushed by her.
The salad steak was originally delicious, but she couldn't eat it now.
Huo Huaiyuan saw that she didn't eat, and worry flashed across his face: "Does it not suit the taste?"
"No, I'm a little busy at work today. I had three surgeries and I'm a little tired." Qin Yiran said.
Huo Huaiyuan felt sorry for her tiredness, so he put down his chopsticks and went to pay the bill.
The two left the restaurant one after the other.
Su Mingruan stood up and looked at the backs of the two of them.
She thought that Qin Yiran would probably still find trouble, but she didn't know what other methods she had.
No matter what the means, evil will prevail over good in the end.
She returned home to rest for the night.
In the past few days, she did not forget to invite Jiang Jiansheng to dinner. She was the one who brought the old leader to the school. If she helped, she had to thank her. People come and go. Who knows whether this network will be used in the future? , Su Mingruan, who had been in the business world in his previous life, knew very well the benefits that a meal might bring.
As for the senior brothers and sisters from the journalism department, she took them to the cafeteria and treated them to a meal. And exchange names with people, these people will be her connections in the future. Although they are only college students now, some of them who studied at Beijing University are really mediocre.
After finishing these tasks, she received a call from Zhou Jibei, who asked her if she had time on the weekend.
Su Mingruan guessed from a few simple words that she was going to be taken by him to meet Mr. Zhong and his uncle and other family members.
It happens sooner or later.
She didn't shirk, she said a time and waited for the weekend to come.
This is the weekend.
Zhou Jibei drove to the door of the small courtyard early in the morning. Su Mingruan opened the door and saw Zhou Jibei sitting in the car, lowering the window and reading German books.
She was surprised: "Why didn't you knock on the door?"
"It doesn't matter where you wait. You can sleep a little longer in the car." After he finished speaking, he found that she was wearing a comfortable modified skirt today. At first glance, she looked leisurely and lazy. Her hair was tied up with a hair tie. Tied up, no broken hair on the forehead, neat and tidy.
"It looks good," he said.
After saying that, the tips of his ears were like burning flames, red and hot.
"Have you had breakfast?" He quickly changed the subject.
Before Su Mingruan spoke, he went to the car to get the breakfast he had brought: "Go after eating, don't be in a hurry."
Su Mingruan, who was arranged by Zhou Jibei throughout the whole process, did not feel any discomfort at all. This rhythm was excellent. After breakfast, she felt better.
In this way, the two of them went to the Zhong family's old house together.
Mr. Zhong lives in a courtyard in the Second Ring Road.
After parking the car, Zhou Jibei picked up the wine in the trunk.
As soon as the two entered the small courtyard, the servant of the family came out to greet them. The servant wanted to take the wine from Zhou Jibei's hand, but he refused.
Seeing this, Su Mingruan smiled.
The two walked into the room together.
There were many people sitting in the room.
As soon as Zhou Jibei entered, he took out the wine, put it on the table, looked at the old man and said, "Grandpa, this is the wine Ruan Ruan brought for you."
"Okay, good girl." When Mr. Zhong saw Su Mingruan, his smile deepened.
Especially when I saw the clothes Su Mingruan was wearing, they looked comfortable and looked like people from our country. His eyes swept over Su Mingruan's slightly fat belly and grinned his front teeth happily.
He saw his grandson's actions in his eyes. In the past, this child had no personal feelings at all. He was like a sharp weapon in human form. He would not say a word when he was hurt and tired, and he would not fight for anything.
Now, he finally looks like a human being. He can protect his wife and arrange everything about her. He also has tenderness in his eyes and is a living person.
He was finally relieved that the child had been ruined by his messy home earlier.
Seeing Mr. Zhong treating Su Mingruan so well, the Zhong family sitting in the room became jealous. You must know that due to the general environment, the old man has often frowned deeply in recent years and rarely smiled like this.
How could this girl win the old man's heart so much?
"Come on, kid, come to grandpa. Grandpa will introduce you to your uncle, aunt, brother, sister-in-law, brother and sister." The old man waved to Su Mingruan.
Su Mingruan walked to the old man's side.
The old man pointed to the middle-aged man sitting on the sofa on the right: "This is your uncle Zhong Changlin. He works in the Ministry of Information in the north and is the top leader there."
"Hello, uncle, I am Ruan Ruan." Su Mingruan greeted with a decent smile on his face, without any stage fright.
"Your aunt, Wang Huixin belongs to the Wang family."
"Hello aunt, please take good care of her in the future." Su Mingruan said.
I also got a thick red envelope.
"Your second uncle, Zhong Chang'an, is on duty at the Ministry of Construction. If you want to develop in this direction in the future, you can consult your second uncle."
"Hello, second uncle." Su Mingruan continued.
"This is my second aunt, who works in the Roads Bureau."
"Hello, second aunt, please give me more advice in the future." Su Mingruan continued.
This time she got a jade bracelet. She had studied jade. This thing looked bright and shiny and was very valuable.
The Zhong family are so generous!
"This is your uncle's daughter, Zhong Manqing. She is two years older than you and studies at Shuimu University next door to you."
"Hello, Sister Manqing!" Su Mingruan greeted.
His eyes moved and looked at Qin Yiran who was standing next to Zhong Manqing.
Why is this person here? She saw her as soon as she entered the house, but it was not easy to ask questions at this time, especially when the old man introduced his family at the beginning, so it was not easy for her to ask.
At this moment, she looked at Qin Yiran brightly, then turned to look at the old man.
The old man hasn't spoken yet.
Zhong Manqing frowned and said: "She is really good-looking. No wonder it can attract Brother Ji Bei's heart and make him forget about his childhood sweetheart. This is what I sent to Xiao Qin Yiran. She grew up with Brother Ji Bei. I pray God It’s not easy to take a vacation, I have to get together with Fa Xiao, I think you won’t mind if I take Fa Xiao home.”
...Su Mingruan feels that this sister really doesn’t care about the occasion!
One moment it captures Brother Ji Bei's heart, and the other moment it's childhood sweethearts.
Seeing the old man's face darken, she knew better. The old man was also dissatisfied with this sister's behavior.
She looked towards her eldest aunt, who looked at her nose with her eyes and her nose with her heart, as if she didn't know anything.
have to!
Although the red envelope given to her by her aunt was thick, she was still dissatisfied, otherwise Zhong Manqing would have scolded Zhong Manqing right now, but she didn't need her to be overfull, as long as she didn't look for trouble, otherwise...
She won't be offended either!
She looked at Zhou Jibei: "Your childhood sweetheart?"
"No, don't listen to Manqing's nonsense. She doesn't speak the truth."
Zhou Jibei glanced at Zhong Manqing with a cold look, not like he was looking at his family.
Zhong Manqing's scalp felt numb after being swept away, and the back of her neck felt chilly. At this moment, she even felt that her cousin was going to eat her alive.
Zhou Jibei glanced at Qin Yiran, who was wearing a dress and exquisite makeup, and became even more impatient: "I'm not familiar with her, and I don't know why she came to grandpa's house today."
While he was speaking, he looked at Su Mingruan pitifully. He was so wronged!
After finishing speaking, he added: "Is it possible that the Qin family didn't teach her the etiquette of social interactions? She also participated in gatherings at other people's homes."
Qin Yiran's face turned pale, and her hands and feet were cold. In the past, Zhou Jibei would ignore her and ignore her, but since she had never heard her say it so harshly, she thought that as long as she stayed with him gently and carelessly, he would find her out sooner or later. Okay, but he seemed to hate her even more.
She tightened her grip on Zhong Manqing's hand, pursed her lips, and looked at Mr. Zhong aggrievedly: "Grandpa, Sister Manqing said that you are feeling a little unwell. She said that there was a family dinner today and she would come over from work. I I want to take the opportunity to get together with her and check you out."
