Chapter 24

Lin Cheng in the distance stopped his steps one step ahead of Huo Jingcheng, then glanced at the man beside him, and asked tentatively: "Boss?"

The clothes were eventually retrieved by Lin Cheng from the Guanlan Private Room. Huo Jingcheng and Su Ruoyun stood in front of the courtyard chatting.

The welcoming pine was tall and upright, its branches and leaves stretched out, and a cluster of lush green branches tilted and extended out, like a person stretching out an arm to welcome the coming guests, with a beautiful posture, dignified and generous.

These days, it's hot in Sijiucheng.

Huo Jingcheng folded the cuffs of his shirt a few times and placed them on his elbows. His exposed forearms were firm and powerful. His right hand was in his pants pocket. His voice was low, making it impossible to tell if he was happy or angry: "Boss Lady Yun's memory is really good."

Hearing this, Su Ruoyun, who was praised, smiled with curved eyebrows. The sunset spilled on her face, and every dazzling ray of light bloomed brilliantly like a fantasy, making her smile even more bright and vivid.

Like a proud little cat, she said self-importantly: "My memory has always been very good."

"..." Huo Jingcheng.

For a moment, he didn't know whether he should follow the pole and continue to praise her.

Lin Cheng took fifteen minutes to go back and forth. He carried the gift box in his left hand and the handbag in his right hand: "Boss, it's ready."

Beside the elegant hanging flower gate, flowers were blooming, vines were like waterfalls, crimson and emerald green intertwined into a beautiful dream. Su Ruoyun leaned against the vermilion door frame, watching Huo Jingcheng leave. Until the vines blocked his figure, she immediately called Su Mingyan.

One after another, the two courtyards were too far apart, and she didn't want to walk back and forth. Every day in this three-entry courtyard, she walked 30,000 steps. If you want to talk about the WeChat step ranking, she said she was second, and no one dared to claim first.

Half an hour later, Su Mingyan arrived late, carrying a women's crossbody bag in one hand and holding 'Zuo Shan Diao' in the other, his face a bit smelly.

As soon as 'Panda' saw Su Ruoyun, it couldn't wait to drill into her arms, kicking its legs constantly, and its two hind legs kicked Su Mingyan's chest one after another.

Su Ruoyun hurriedly reached out to take the little cat and asked: "What's wrong?"

She cast a glance at Su Mingyan, only to see that the white shirt on his chest was wrinkled, and there were some water stains.

"Ask your good cat."

These words were full of resentment.

Su Ruoyun stroked the cat's back and softened her voice: "'Little Panda', tell Mommy, how did you provoke your uncle?"

'Panda' turned its head and buried itself in Su Ruoyun's arms aggrievedly.

Seeing this, Su Mingyan couldn't help but snort coldly, knowing it was just pretending to be pitiful: "This fat cat drools when it sleeps?"

"No, 'Panda' never drools when it sleeps."

Speaking of this, Su Ruoyun also understood where the water stain came from, and smiled with the corners of her mouth: "Maybe... you look too much like its aesthetic, it couldn't help but drool in appreciation."

It's hell if he alone can meet a cat's aesthetic.

Su Mingyan raised his hand to pull the shirt on his chest, and let out a snort of unknown meaning, his chest vibrating slightly.

"Okay, let's apologize to Uncle, come."

As she spoke, Su Ruoyun held Panda vertically, pressed its little head, and bowed deeply to Su Mingyan.

Returning to the Maybach at the door, Peng Ran got out of the car and respectfully opened the back seat door.

Su Ruoyun brought a cat bag, put 'Panda' in it, put the cat on the passenger seat, and sat in the back seat with Su Mingyan, leaning lazily against the leather seat back, with the crossbody bag beside her.

After the car drove out of the parking space, Su Ruoyun said what she heard today: "Brother, I heard that your project chose Bank of China as a partner?"

Su Mingyan held a tablet in his left hand, and his right fingertips swiped across the screen, flipping through emails. The switching of the screen flickered in his pupils, and he answered casually: "Mm."

After hearing her brother's affirmative answer, Su Ruoyun turned her head to look at him, and couldn't help but express her doubts: "Isn't your relationship with him bad?" Why cooperate with him?

Su Ruoyun didn't say the second half of the sentence, but the meaning was indirectly expressed.

Although Su Ruoyun didn't say directly who he was, the brother and sister knew it well.

The voice that fell into her ears was lazy, with a trace of hoarseness, and slowly stated the classic famous saying: "There are no permanent friends in the world, nor permanent enemies, only permanent interests."

"There is no such thing as a single dominant force in the Imperial City. The superiors pay attention to vertical and horizontal, and the subordinates pay attention to the golden mean..."

Just stop at the right point.

Su Mingyan withdrew his gaze from the tablet, the reflected blue light flashed across his face, and his voice was low.

"Also, I haven't asked you yet, why does Huo Jingcheng run to your tea house every three days?"

He came to the tea house twice this month, and both times he saw Huo Jingcheng's car. Before entering the door this afternoon, he saw that Cullinan with a unique license plate.

Su Ruoyun said righteously, her eyes full of honesty: "He came to drink tea, which shows that my tea-making skills are good. Besides, you also said that a fool doesn't make money. I can't drive him out. Today he even bought Shifeng Longjing."

Speaking of the end, she proudly arched her eyebrows, and the joy was beyond words.

Su Mingyan's typing movement paused, he picked out words from her words, withdrew his gaze from the cold light of the tablet screen, gave a glance to the person beside him, and his words were mixed with a bit of unspeakable tone: "You entertained him personally?"

"Yes."

Su Mingyan snorted lightly from his nose and focused on reading the email again: "You are really capable."

Su Ruoyun tentatively counted this as praise, put her hands on her knees, turned her head to look out the car window, flower shadows grew wantonly along the overpass, then she opened the car window, the car window went down half, the breeze blew in slowly, bringing a trace of coolness.

She suddenly felt a bit thirsty, raised her hand to take a bottle of purified water from the car refrigerator. While leaning over, the things in the central armrest box were blown by the breeze, rustling. She couldn't help but look forward: "Brother, why do you still keep that photo here?"

Su Mingyan asked casually: "What photo?"

"The one Grandma gave you." Su Ruoyun raised her hand to take the photo, holding her arm half-raised, showing it to Su Mingyan beside her.

Su Mingyan obviously forgot. Looking at the photo, he was silent for three or five seconds, then reacted. Tonight is to go to the family courtyard for dinner. He bent his long fingers and rubbed his sore forehead helplessly.

Seeing this, Su Ruoyun also saw a bit, smiling gloatingly, saying sarcastic words: "It's over, you took the old lady's words as a deaf ear,"

She turned the photo over, and on the back was a line of numbers written with a black signature pen, obviously the woman's contact information. She pursed her lips: "Add it now, and when you enter the door later, maybe you can save your life."

Su Mingyan didn't refuse. Compared to the old lady's nagging, he was more afraid of seeing the old lady's speechless look without saying a word.

He took the phone, clicked on WeChat, and entered the phone number.

Half a second later, a line of small words jumped out on the screen.

——The other party refused your friend request.
