After the song ended, Yuan Xudong walked back to his seat and sat down. Seeing Luo Qian and Gu Jia looking at him, he couldn't help but said proudly:
"How's it going? Doesn't it sound nice?"
Nodding slightly, Luo Qian looked at Yuan Xudong and said with a smile:
"It's very nice, even better than the ones sung on TV. Brother Xudong, do you often sing this song?"
Shaking his head slightly, Yuan Xudong explained with a half-serious smile:
"No, I heard my mother sing it when I was a child. She often sang this song to me. I thought it sounded very good and kept it in my heart. Today is the first time I have sung this song. Isn't it good?"
"Hmm~~"
Nodding slightly, Luo Qian looked at Yuan Xudong and said with a smile on her face:
"When my mother was still alive, she often sang this song to me. Her voice was very nice. I liked hearing her sing this song very much. Brother Xudong, your mother must be very beautiful and gentle, right?"
"No, I don't quite remember her appearance, and the only impression I have of her is this song."
Seeing Yuan Xudong and Luo Qian playing sensational tricks, Gu Jia couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said:
"Mr. Yuan, I remember Manni and Xiaoqin told me that your mother and sister live in Quzhou, Zhejiang, not far from SH. It has been a long time since I went home to see you. Even your mother's appearance
Can’t even remember?”
After looking at Gu Jia, Yuan Xudong said in a calm voice:
"My mother left when I was young. My current mother is my stepmother. She was not very sensible before and always called her aunt. Then my father passed away and she took care of my sister and me alone, even though I am not her biological son.
, but she was better to me than my sister, and gradually I changed to calling her mom. Do you have any questions?"
Hearing Yuan Xudong say this, Gu Jia's face was slightly stunned. When she came back to her senses, she looked at Yuan Xudong with a calm face, as if she were looking at her former self. She had not had a mother since she was a child. In front of others, she always pretended to be normal.
She looked indifferent, but in her heart she was extremely envious of those children with mothers. Father's love is like a mountain, and mother's love is like water. She has the strength of a mountain, but she has never experienced the tenderness of water.
Seeing that Gu Jia was looking at him more and more strangely, like a mother who cared about her children, Yuan Xudong couldn't help but knock the dishes with his chopsticks, rolled his eyes at her and said:
"Gu Jia, what's that look in your eyes?"
After coming back to her senses, Gu Jia calmed down her expression slightly, looked at Yuan Xudong and apologized seriously:
"Mr. Yuan, I'm so sorry. I didn't know your biological mother had passed away. I'm so sorry"
"Stop, stop, stop, stop talking!"
Rolling his eyes at Gu Jia, Yuan Xudong looked at her and said with twitching corners of his mouth:
"Who said my mother has passed away? She ran away from home when I was young and went to the United States with others. Although we have never seen each other again, she sends a letter back every year. She lives a good life in the United States.
, you have a husband and a son, so don’t curse others."
Looking at Yuan Xudong with a calm face, Gu Jia knew that she was overthinking. He was really calm and was not using calmness to hide his true emotions. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glare at Yuan Xudong and said:
"Mr. Yuan, please speak more clearly next time. Is it fun to play like this?"
"What do you mean by that?"
After rolling his eyes at Gu Jia, Yuan Xudong retorted directly to her:
"I clearly said that my mother left when I was young. You interpreted leaving as passing away. I didn't blame you for saying the wrong thing. You also complained that I couldn't speak clearly. What do you mean by criticizing me like this?"
"You just agree with whatever Rosie says. Don't you understand what I mean?"
Looking at Gu Jia who rolled his eyes at him, Yuan Xudong raised a smirk on his lips and said:
"If you don't explain clearly, how will I know what you mean? Besides, Rosie and I are called fate, not agreement. Gu Jia, are you interested in me? Are you jealous of Rosie?
?”
"Go away, it's boring, you can eat, I'm full!"
Gu Jia looked at Yuan Xudong who was shameless and looked at Luo Qian with a smile:
"Rosie, it's already so late. I'm going to go back and rest first. I have to go to work in the mountains tomorrow. You can rest in the hotel for the night after eating. We can talk about other things during the day tomorrow, okay?"
"Hmm~~"
Nodding slightly, Luo Xi followed the sound and looked at Gu Jia and asked:
"Sister Jia, aren't you going to eat?"
"Don't eat. I'm already full because of someone's anger. You can eat by yourself. Good night!"
"Good night!"
After Gu Jia left, Luo Qian looked at Yuan Xudong and asked:
"Brother Xudong, are Sister Jia angry with me?"
"You didn't offend her, why is she angry with you?"
Looking at Luo Qian who was slightly worried, Yuan Xudong comforted her with a smile and said:
"Don't worry, Gu Jia rarely eats dinner, let alone midnight snacks. She will go to the mountains tomorrow to arrange production work. Now she just goes back to sleep. You don't really think she is jealous, do you?"
"Oh~~"
Nodding slightly, Luo Qian looked at Yuan Xudong and smiled:
"Brother Xudong, why does Sister Jia rarely eat dinner? Isn't she hungry?"
The waiter began to serve the dishes. Yuan Xudong placed the dishes and chopsticks for Luo Qian and said with a smile:
"She thinks that fasting for dinner is a healthy lifestyle that is popular around the world. I don't know if she is hungry. I only know that I am hungry. Rosie, are you hungry?"
"Hmm~~"
Nodding slightly and smelling the aroma of the food, Luo Qian looked at Yuan Xudong and said with a smile:
"It smells so good. I'm a little hungry too."
After saying that, she looked at Yuan Xudong and asked:
"Brother Xudong, is this hotel very big?"
"It's very big, with dozens of floors and hundreds of guest rooms."
"Isn't it beautifully decorated?"
"It's very beautiful. It looks magnificent, just like the palace on TV."
"Brother Xudong, it cost you money."
"No, I can go back to the company for reimbursement without spending my own money."
Hearing what Yuan Xudong said, Luo Qian looked at him and asked:
"Brother Xudong, do you have your own company?"
"It can't be said to be my own company. I own shares in some companies and am considered one of the bosses. I invest in doing business with others, sharing risks and benefits."
"I understand. Sister Jia said that you are a big shot in SH City. Can you help me arrange a job? I know this is too much to ask, but I."
"What's too much?"
Before Luo Xi could finish speaking, Yuan Xudong interrupted her and said with a smile:
"I'm not a big shot. It's okay to arrange a suitable job for you. Let's eat first and talk about other things later, okay?"
"Hmm~~"
Nodding slightly, Rosie touched the bowls, chopsticks and spoons placed in front of her, then looked at the waiter who was serving the dishes and said:
"Hello, can you give me a plate?"
"Okay, please wait a moment!"
"Well, thank you!"
When the waiter left, Luo Qian looked at Yuan Xudong and smiled:
"I like to put the rice and vegetables on the plate and eat them with a spoon. Do you find it troublesome?"
"of course not!"
When the waiter brought the plate, Yuan Xudong mixed the food together and brought it to Rosie. He took her hands and touched the edge of the plate and the spoon and said:
"I've already mixed it. Please try it. How does it taste?"
"Thank you, Brother Xudong!"
After thanking her, Rosie fumbled with the spoon and started eating. Seeing that she had no problem eating, Yuan Xudong picked up the bowl and chopsticks and took two bites of his favorite dishes. After eating the meal with fish bones and ginger removed, Rosie looked up and looked at
Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"Brother Xudong, are you so gentle and considerate to every girl?"
The action of picking up food paused slightly, and then returned to normal. Yuan Xudong looked at Luo Qian and smiled:
"Rosie, why do you ask that?"
Hearing Yuan Xudong's slightly unnatural voice, Luo Qian looked at him and smiled:
"Sister Jia said that you have many girlfriends and they all like you. Is it true?"
"I said it's not true, do you believe it?"
"I trust you!"
"Forget it, don't believe me. What I like to do most is lie to people. Gu Jia is right. I have many girlfriends. Some like my money, and some like my talents.
Others like my appearance, am I bad?"
"Hmm~~"
Nodding slightly, Luo Qian looked at Yuan Xudong and smiled:
"My mother said that a man can only love one woman, and men who have many girlfriends are bad people."
Seeing that there were oil stains and a few grains of rice on Luo Qian's mouth, Yuan Xudong wiped her clean with a napkin and said with a smile:
"Your mother is right, don't fall in love with a bad man. He will make you sad and bruised. He will give you but not get anything in return."
"Thank you, Brother Xudong!"
After eating, without waiting for Yuan Xudong to speak, Luo Qian looked directly at him and asked:
"Brother Xudong, I'm full. Can you tell me what happened?"
"Hmm~~"
Nodding slightly, Yuan Xudong took out Liu Shuhua's message and read it in front of Rosie. After listening to the message, Rosie shook her head with tears in her eyes and said:
"This is impossible. My father will not lie to me. He said that the family still has some savings. As long as he sells the house and borrows some money from others, he can cure my eyes. I have given up the surgery and my family has no hope.
There is no big expense. It is impossible for him to owe so much money to others. He has to sell the house to pay off the debt. It must be my aunt who did this. She doesn’t want me anymore and she also sold the house that my father left to me. How could she do this to me?
I?"
After wiping away Rosie's tears, Yuan Xudong comforted her and said:
"I believe your father will never ask others to borrow so much money. Liu Shuhua is your stepmother. She can cruelly abandon you. It is not impossible for her to sell your house. Come to Shanghai with me and I will help you find a house."
Get a job to support yourself, okay?"
Wiping away her tears, Luo Qian looked at Yuan Xudong and said:
"Brother Xudong, I want to go home for a visit, can you take me back?"
"good."
After making a call to Sun Jianhong and asking him to drive in the underground parking lot, Yuan Xudong led Luo Qian out of her seat and said:
"Let's go, I'll take you back."
"Hmm~~"
Standing up, Rosie groped the table and said:
"Where is my blind stick?"
Putting the blind stick in her hand, Yuan Xudong led her out of the restaurant and said:
"You don't need to explore the way. Trust me, I will be your eyes."
