After hearing what Gu Jia said about sir, Wang Manni looked a little unnatural and said:
"The Mr. Yuan Xiaoqin mentioned is my boyfriend. We are not married yet, we are just living together temporarily."
"I'm sorry, I thought you were already married like me."
After glancing at Wang Manni, Gu Jia smiled and changed the subject:
"My husband and I have just moved to Grand Hyatt Mansion not long ago, and we haven't met a few of the owners in the building yet. If you have time, you are welcome to come to my home."
"Okay, okay!"
After hearing Gu Jia's suggestion, Zhong Xiaoqin quickly joined in the fun and said, without waiting for Wang Manni's response:
"Manni, come here with Mr. Yuan. Gu Jia's craftsmanship is very good. I like to eat the cakes she makes the most. There is also my godson Xu Ziyan. The little guy is very cute. You will definitely like him."
Upon hearing the invitation from Zhong Xiaoqin and Gu Jia, Wang Manni looked moved, but said hesitantly:
"I don't know if he has time. He is very busy with work and can only come over every now and then. If you don't mind, next time he comes over, how about I inform you to come to my house for a get-together?"
"Manni, take a look, is that Mr. Yuan's car?"
Without waiting for Gu Jia to respond to Wang Manni, Zhong Xiaoqin pointed to a BMW slowly stopping in the driveway outside the window:
"I saw Mr. Yuan, Manni, let's go over and say hello to him, and we'll get together at Gu Jia's place tonight. You just happened to tell him that you're going on a cruise and ask him to accompany you."
Following the direction Zhong Xiaoqin pointed, Gu Jia and Wang Manni looked out the window. Yuan Xudongzheng and Zhu Suosuo's family of three got out of the car and walked towards the Western restaurant where the three of them were. Wang Manni's expression changed slightly and she quickly looked away.
:
"Xiaoqin, Gu Jia, I'm full, let's leave first."
Seeing Yuan Xudong and Zhu Suosuo behaving intimately, Gu Jia had some suspicions in her mind. Before Zhong Xiaoqin could say anything, she directly agreed:
"Okay, let's go through the back door. There's a nice coffee shop there. How about we go have a cup of coffee?"
Before the confused Zhong Xiaoqin could react, Wang Manni pulled her to stand up and followed Gu Jia to leave from the other side of the restaurant. Zhong Xiaoqin reluctantly glanced in the direction of the restaurant and murmured to herself:
"I haven't finished my steak yet, why are you in such a hurry to drink coffee? And Mr. Yuan, why don't we leave without saying hello?"
Gu Jia rolled her eyes at the silly Zhong Xiaoqin and said angrily:
"Don't worry about your steak. I'll make a cake for you when I go home."
"Okay, okay, I want to eat fruit cake, Manni, what kind of cake do you like?"
"I like chocolate cake."
In the western restaurant, Wang Manni and the other three were sitting near the window. Yuan Xudong and Zhu Suosuo were sitting on one side, and Zhu Harry and Mayila were sitting on the other side. They looked at the young Mayila and the casual Zhu Harry and Yuan Xudong.
He handed them a menu and recommended:
"Uncle, Mayila, the steak in this restaurant is good, you can try it."
"No problem, you just have to decide. Mayila and I work on cruise ships and are more accustomed to eating Western food. Steak is very good."
Seeing that Harry Zhu put down the menu and had no intention of ordering anything, Yuan Xudong directly greeted the waiter:
"Waiter, four steak sets."
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment."
After the waiter left, Yuan Xudong took out the gift he had prepared and handed it to Zhu Hali and Mayila with a smile:
"Uncle, Mayila, it's our first time meeting you. I don't know what you like, so I just bought some gifts. I hope you like them!"
After receiving the gift from Yuan Xudong, Zhu Harry and Ma Yila opened it directly. A men's watch and a ruby necklace. Looking at the two valuable gifts, Zhu Harry joked:
"Xiao Yuan, if you're not my son -in -law, I will definitely take you a meal. You send Mayea such a valuable ruby necklace, which is more beautiful than our fixed beliefs. Isn't this my platform?"
After saying that, without waiting for Yuan Xudong to respond, he looked at Mayila and smiled:
"Like it?"
Mayila nodded slightly and said happily:
“I like it, very beautiful!”
She glanced at Yuan Xudong and thanked:
"Yuan Xudong, thank you for your gift. Harry and I like it very much!"
"As long as you like it. I heard from Suosuo that you will leave after taking the wedding photos and there will be no wedding. These two gifts are not only wedding gifts for you and your uncle, but also to thank your uncle for raising Suosuo so well. You guys
Don’t worry, I will definitely take good care of Suosuo.”
Hearing what Yuan Xudong said, Zhu Harry nodded with satisfaction and said:
"I know you are rich and willing to spend money on Suosuo. As a father, I have no ability. I have not fulfilled my father's responsibilities in the past twenty years. From now on, I will leave Suosuo to you until you get married.
Let me know when you arrive, and no matter where I am, I will definitely fly back to attend my daughter’s wedding.”
"Harry, and me, I will also attend Suo Suo's wedding."
Zhu Hali glanced at Mayila, kissed her on the forehead and said with a smile:
"Yes, and you. After we get married, Suosuo will be considered your daughter."
Hearing what his father said, Zhu Suosuo changed the subject with an embarrassed expression:
"Dad, you and Mayila are going to Hangzhou for two days. Yuan Xudong and I will accompany you. I will ask him to drive you there."
"No!"
Before Yuan Xudong could speak, Zhu Harry shook his head and refused:
"Mayila and I have booked train tickets. We will take the train there and then fly directly to Europe."
Hearing her father say this, Zhu Suosuo felt a little sad. He was still the same as before, leaving within two days after coming back. He calmed down slightly, and she forced a smile and said:
"I forgot, you two are on your honeymoon, Yuan Xudong and I will not be light bulbs anymore."
"You and Xiao Yuan can also go out and play. You don't have to accompany me and Mayila."
Zhu Harry took out two ferry tickets from Mayila's bag and handed them to Yuan Xudong and Zhu Suosuo and said with a smile:
"This is a ticket issued by the cruise company where Mayila and I work. We will come to Shanghai in two days. If you have time, go take a trip. It would be even better if you can travel and get married like Mayila and I did."
After taking the ticket and looking at the magnificent giant cruise ship above, Zhu Suosuo said happily:
"Yuan Xudong, how about we go on a cruise together? I have always had a dream. I want to go to the cruise ship where my father works to see if it is like the Titanic in the movie!"
Looking at Zhu Suosuo who looked excited, Yuan Xudong pinched her cheek and said with a smile:
"No problem, since it has been your dream since childhood, then I will accompany you to realize it."
"You hate it, don't pinch my face, I'm not a child."
"Susuo is shy."
"No, I'm not shy. It's just too hot here."
Two flowers bloomed, one on each side. On the twelfth floor of Junyue Mansion, in Gu Jia's home, Wang Manni and Zhong Xiaoqin helped Gu Jia while learning how to make cakes. Looking at the ingenious Gu Jia, Wang Manni
Envy said:
"Gu Jia, you are so awesome. The cakes you make are more beautiful than those sold in specialty stores."
Without waiting for Gu Jia to respond, Zhong Xiaoqin on the side said proudly:
"Not only is it beautiful to look at, it's also delicious. Gu Jia specially learned how to cook cakes. Mrs. Wang who lives in this building praises her for her skills. Every time the ladies have afternoon tea, Gu Jia is responsible for making the cakes. Those
Ladies don’t know anything but eat cakes and drink coffee!”
Hearing Zhong Xiaoqin say this, Gu Jia burst out laughing, put a little cream on the tip of her nose and joked:
"You, a snack foodie, still have the nerve to make fun of others, making fun of others at fifty steps and a hundred steps at a time?"
"Oh, I'm different from them!"
Rolling her eyes at Gu Jia and Wang Manni who were making fun of her, Zhong Xiaoqin quickly changed the subject and said:
"Jiajia, where is your husband and my godson?"
"Huan Shan stayed in the company to work overtime. He has been under a lot of pressure recently. There was a big client, Mr. Wan, who deliberately found fault with him. The purpose was to reduce costs and force us to give him rebates. Huan Shan could only redesign the plan again and again until the other party raised the issue.
If nothing happens, Ziyan went to my dad's place to spend the night with his grandpa."
Hearing what Gu Jia said, Zhong Xiaoqin said angrily:
"This Mr. Wan is too hateful. Go to his company and report him to see if he dares to ask for kickbacks!"
Glancing at the innocent and innocent Zhong Xiaoqin, Gu Jia said in a calm voice:
"It's not that simple. There are so many fireworks companies. He doesn't have to choose our house. He can change to another one, but our family can't lose this order. There is something wrong with the company's capital chain. This house is mortgaged to the bank.
If we can't get over this hurdle, our family will go back to before liberation overnight."
Looking at Gu Jia, who looks glamorous but is actually struggling, Wang Manni sighed:
"Gu Jia, I was quite envious of the wife of a rich family like you. I didn't expect that your family is so difficult. Compared with you, I feel that my difficulties are trivial and not worth mentioning. I belong to
If one person has enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry, the most he can do is be kicked out of the house by the landlord and have to move back and forth a few times.”
"You live on the 18th floor and I live on the 12th floor. You are much richer than me. Do you still need to envy me?"
Gu Jia rolled her eyes at Wang Manni and explained with a smile:
“I thought the people living in this building were all the same until I entered Mrs. Wang’s house on the top floor, the same Mrs. Wang who mistook Monet’s water lilies for Van Gogh’s sunflowers.
A painting hanging in the restaurant is worth more than my house. She told me that there is an unspoken rule in this building. The higher the house is, the more expensive it is, and the richer the people who live there are!"
After saying that, she looked at Wang Manni and said curiously:
"What does your boyfriend do? Can you tell me more about it?"
Hearing what Gu Jia said, Wang Manni's face turned red. She knew that a smart woman like Gu Jia must have seen something. She was not as stupid as Zhong Xiaoqin. She hesitated for a moment, thinking that Zhong Xiaoqin also knew Yuan Xudong, so she simply
Da Fang Fang Dao:
"His name is Yuan Xudong. He is in the real estate business and serves as the vice president of Jingyan Group. He and I are fellow villagers. Once I was sick and hospitalized. He went to the hospital to take care of me. He also bought this house for me to move in.
I impulsively agreed to be his girlfriend."
Gu Jia's eyes brightened when she heard that Yuan Xudong was the vice president of Jingyan Group. She looked at Wang Manni and said:
"Manni, can you introduce me to Mr. Yuan? I know that Jingyan Group has its own real estate and shopping malls all over the country. If some celebration activities can be handed over to our fireworks company, I am willing to spend
What do you think about giving 10% of the profits to you and Mr. Yuan?"
Hearing what Gu Jia said, Wang Manni was startled, shook her head and said:
"I can't make the decision on such a big thing. I can help you talk about it when he comes over next time, but I can't guarantee that he will agree to it."
Knowing that Wang Manni did not dare to make her own decision and could not make the decision, Gu Jia smiled and said:
"It's okay, you can just help introduce me. I will talk to Mr. Yuan about the rest. More friends means more paths!"
Hearing the conversation between Gu Jia and Wang Manni, Zhong Xiaoqin smiled and said:
"Jiajia, Mr. Yuan is very easy to talk to and likes Manni so much. He will definitely help you."
Glancing at the silly and naive Zhong Xiaoqin, Gu Jia teased her and said:
"I wish your brain were as big as your eyes. You're almost thirty, and you still look like a little girl who hasn't grown up yet."
