The bad thing is that following a person as uncertain as Xiao Yu, one's heart can hardly let go.
And...what they do is somewhat dangerous.
But Yan Fei didn't dare to say these things.
Now it's too late for him to win favor with their master. How could he lose favor with Chi Zao?
Unexpectedly, Chi Zao nodded thoughtfully after listening.
"That's it. Then... I'm so ready to come and go at a moment's notice, shouldn't I also apply for some salary and benefits?"
Xiao Yu: "???"
Yan Fei was keenly aware of the bad atmosphere.
"This, this, this. Ah, the time is almost up, I'll drive first..." He quickly found an excuse and turned around to drive, not daring to look behind him.
The car starts.
Xiao Yu frowned and said, "Chi Zao, when did I come and leave you at a moment's notice?"
Chi Zao finally turned his head slightly, looked at him, blinked, and said seriously, "Just now, now."
"Just now?" Xiao Yu paused, his eyes flashing slightly, "Then tell me, what salary do you think is suitable?"
Chi Zao thought for a moment, "Just, what the hell, I have to make five figures a month."
"Yeah." He nodded slightly, "That's reasonable."
Chi Zao looked at him.
And when he met her gaze, his expression was very calm, but his eyes were very deep, "So, you hung up on me last night and stopped talking in the middle of the conversation. How much salary do you think I should receive?"
Chi Zao was stunned for a moment, "Why do you want to receive a salary?"
"As a listener, I have to listen if you want to speak. If you don't want to speak, I can't even get through on the phone. This can be regarded as a kind of call that comes and goes." He said matter-of-factly, "I
It’s very reasonable to get five figures.”
Chi Zao opened his mouth, "You...are using strong words to make sense!"
He raised his eyebrows slightly, "Thank you for the compliment."
Chi Zao: "..."
There was silence in the car.
Chi Zao had already turned his head, and he and Xiao Yu were sitting on the same side, as if they were separated by a Milky Way.
She didn't speak, and neither did Xiao Yu.
It's just that the car is halfway through.
Chi Zao couldn't hold back, "Yan Fei, where are you going?"
Yan Fei, who was driving, answered nervously, "Go to the mansion..."
Chi Zao was stunned.
The Xiao family mansion?
What to do there?
Why go?
Chi Zao had questions, but didn't want to ask Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu leaned on his seat, closed his eyes and rested, and made no sound.
Yan Fei had no choice but to explain, "The old man has been in good health recently and said he wanted to see you and have a meal with you."
Chi Zao understood and frowned slightly.
Last time she went to the Xiao family mansion as Xiao Yu's girlfriend.
What about this time...
Moreover, Mr. Xiao is in good health and sober.
If he really determined that she was his girlfriend, wouldn't it be more troublesome?
But it's on the way now.
Chi Zao sighed softly in his heart.
It was already past lunch time when we arrived at the Xiao family mansion.
Last time, Chi Zao came alone, but when she arrived at the door, he came to pick her up in person and held her hand as they went in together.
But this time...
Although they came together.
But after the two got off the car, they walked in tandem, let alone holding hands, not even side by side.
Chi Zao was one step behind, following behind Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu glanced at her, his face slightly cold. But he didn't stop to hold her hand.
When you walk into the mansion, you are greeted by brother and sister Xiao Yue, Xiao Ke, and the couple Xiao Zhengbang and Yu Yun.
"sister in law!!"
Xiao Yue called out, skillfully and pleasantly surprised. She held up her skirt and trotted up to Chi Zao, "Sister-in-law, you are finally here! Oops, I sent you a WeChat message, why did you ignore me?"
Chi Zao was stunned, "I didn't look at my phone."
"Hey, why didn't you bring your brother? I even told grandpa that you have a very cute brother!"
Chi Zao blinked.
She can't take it with her.
The old man is not in good health.
This place also has a semi-natural Feng Shui formation.
Xiaoyun will probably have to fight with the Feng Shui array when she comes in.
Forget it, if she gets close to the old man, even if Xiaoyun restrains her evil spirit, she is still afraid of hurting the old man.
She smiled and said something ambiguous, "Next time if I have a chance."
The two were familiar with each other and talked.
Next to her, Xiao Zhengbang, Yu Yun, and her brother Xiao Ke were quite surprised.
When did Xiao Yue become so familiar with Chi Zao?
Xiao Zhengbang coughed lightly and said, "Xiao Yu, grandpa has been waiting in the restaurant for a long time. You guys go over first."
Xiao Yu didn't respond, let alone look at him. He took Chi Zao and walked toward the restaurant.
Chi Zao's hand was suddenly taken, and he was slightly stunned.
Feeling the gazes of several people around her, she stiffened for a moment and then gave up on trying to break free.
But I was muttering in my heart.
Didn't this person just act like he didn't really want to talk to her?
This is good, in front of the family, the acting is quite skillful.
Behind him, Yan Fei looked at the backs and hands of the two of them, feeling secretly pleased.
Last night, he found out that Song Huazhu went to Langui Community and smashed up Chi Zao's home, and almost caused Xie Yunzhi to relapse. He knew that something was serious.
He told Xiao Yu about this.
As a result, early this morning, Xiao Yu took the initiative to return to the Xiao family mansion, which was very rare.
Yan Fei has been following Xiao Yu for many years. Based on his understanding of Xiao Yu, he has reason to suspect that the so-called old man Xiao asking Chi Zao to come for dinner is just a pretense.
…
Chi Zao met Mr. Xiao again in the large restaurant of the Xiao family.
The old man was sitting at the head of a smaller dining table, wearing reading glasses and holding a mobile phone in his hand, tinkering slowly and seriously.
Compared with last time, Mr. Xiao looked much more energetic today, and the lifeless look on his face was gone.
Chi Zao couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He didn't know what method Xiao Yu used to actually save Mr. Xiao.
However, this is also the old man's destiny.
The end of his life will be in three years.
Hearing the footsteps, the old man raised his head. When he saw the two people walking in holding hands, his wrinkled face showed a hint of joy, "Here we come!"
Xiao Yu took Chi Chen forward.
"Yeah." His response was still short and even seemed a bit perfunctory.
The old man didn't seem to mind at all.
But Chi Zao couldn't learn from Xiao Yu.
She called out politely and gently, "Hello, grandpa."
"Okay, okay." The old man smiled happily, "Come on, sit down quickly."
Two servants came forward and were about to pull out the chairs on the left and right sides of the dining table.
Unexpectedly, the old man stopped him, "We are all sitting on one side. How can these young lovers sit separately?"
Chi Zao: "..." Old man, I can do it.
But the two of them couldn't resist Mr. Xiao, so they could only sit together.
The old man looked at Chi Zao with a very kind smile, "Xiao Yu, if I remember correctly, the girl's last name is Chi Zao."
Xiao Yu, "Yeah."
"Yes, that's a nice name." Mr. Xiao smiled and said, "Then I'll call you Xiaozao, okay?"
Chi Zao was a little surprised and nodded, "Of course."
She had never seen Mr. Xiao in her previous life, and the last time she saw him in this life was when he was seriously ill.
As a result, Chi Zao never expected that this powerful figure in Ningcheng, who had been the most influential person for half his life, would actually have such a gentle personality.
Just as I was thinking about it, the next second I heard the old man say:
"Ayu, you and Xiaozao have such a good relationship, when are you going to get married? While I can still move around, I'd better find a time to meet Xiaozao's elders."
Chi Zao almost choked.
[Xiao Zaoer: I thought I was only 18 years old and would have to go through forced marriage??]
