"Su Shi, have you been peeking at me again?"
"No!"
But Ruo Yemu's eyes did not change at all, he just turned his head away and no longer looked directly at Su Shi.
Last time… when I was waiting to go home after school to get measured for my wedding dress, Su Shi was like that too. She seemed to be stealing glances at me from time to time throughout the day.
All kinds of message reminders that had been piling up for most of the day suddenly flooded into the notification bar of Su Shi's phone. After the dazzling refresh of various APPs stopped, Su Shi opened Line to check if there was anything important that needed a reply.
"Mother?"
Su Shi opened the chat interface with her mother with a little uneasiness and expectation.
These days, every time her mother sent her a message, it was always something like "Su Shi, I'm sorry, Mom won't be home for dinner tonight."
However, even though she had been disappointed many times with the hope of "Mom coming home", Su Shi couldn't help but feel excited again.
"Su Shi, Mom is finally resting! Mom and Xian Juanjun are waiting for you to have dinner together. The address is..."
Eh?
Qi Lin VIII Wen Si Lu Xi VII Su Shi's eyes suddenly widened in disbelief, and he blinked as if to refresh everything he saw.
Xian... Xianjuan-kun? There shouldn't be another person with this surname, right? Are you talking about Wei-san?
How, how could this happen? How could he be with his mother?
Could it be that when I wanted to play the role of Xiao Mu's mother, my own mother was stolen?!
No, that's not the case. Judging from the fact that Wei chose the cute Xiao Mu as his fiancée, her preferences probably aren't like her mother's...
But what’s going on now? Why is my mother waiting for me to eat with Wei?
Su Shi's lips trembled slightly, and the whole person fell into a brief downtime.
Ruo Yemu noticed something was wrong with Su Shi beside him, so he took out his phone and prepared to call the emergency number:
"Su Shi, do we need to call an ambulance?"
Coming back to his senses, Su Shiqiang smiled and waved his hands repeatedly:
"No, I'm fine. It's just that my mother is calling me to eat. I'm very happy, but I can't accept it right away."
Ruoye Mu exited the dialing interface of his phone, muttered "strange" in his heart, and nodded to Su Shi:
"See you tomorrow, Sushi."
"Yeah, Xiao Mu too, see you tomorrow."
Wakaba Mu walked all the way to the place outside the Yuezhisen campus where family cars were allowed to pick her up, then nodded and thanked the man in black who opened the door for her, and got into the car that had been waiting there.
Originally, the person who should have been the driver of the Wakaba family was to pick up and drop off Wakaba Mutsu from school. After Wakaba Takafumi and Mori Minami both went abroad, the driver, who only had this one job, finally lost his last bit of function. If it weren't for Wakaba Mutsu's parents holding on to the idea that "I will have to come back after finishing filming in a year", and not needing the driver's salary, she would have been laid off by now.
Since Ruo Yemu had already spent the night at Xianjuan's house, the task of picking her up and dropping her off at school was taken over by the men in black from Xianjuan's house.
Sitting in the back seat and fastening his seatbelt, Ruo Yemu heard the driver in front ask:
"Ms. Ruoye, are you going directly back to the Xianjuan family?"
"No... please take me here." Wakaba Mu pointed to a location that Xiangzi sent her.
"Ok, I see."
The vehicle started smoothly and drove onto the road, heading to where Sumimi was going to perform tonight. Ruo Yemu opened the music software and listened to the new song released by Sumimi today while opening the photo album on his mobile phone.
The first photo in the album is a selfie that is totally inconsistent with her image as a cold-faced child star.
In the photo, Wakaba Mutsu is lying on the bed in white pajamas with his face resting on the shoulder of Xianjuan Wei, who is also wearing pajamas. His pursed lips reveal his inner thoughts, but there is a hint of expectation in his uneasy eyes, and one hand is holding the quilt to cover his chest.
Yesterday, after seeing the countless photos of him and Xianjuan Xin from childhood to adulthood collected by Xianjuan Wei in the home NAS, Ruoye Mu also suggested with some nervousness and anticipation that he also wanted to use another folder to store their future memories.
And this photo was the first photo saved in the folder created for her last night.
In the headphones, Mana's sweet voice sang "I want you ~ I want you ~ want you to belong to me ~"
Although the emotions conveyed by the song and lyrics seem a bit too passionate and direct, Ruoye Mu feels that this new song of Sumimi is quite in line with her current feelings.
The song topped the hot charts of many software apps on the afternoon of its release. It’s great that this song, which took so much effort to create, has been recognized...
Xiang's work and life are thriving, and I also... I really hope that this kind of life and happiness can last forever, just like the lyrics of this song, and belong to me forever.
While immersed in Mana's singing and the memories of this period, Wakaba Mutsu saw the music push in the notification bar of his mobile phone.
Pulling down the notification bar, the title of the pushed content was written prominently: "Sumi high energy return! A love letter from Sankaku Hatsuka to Junda Mana!"
Ruoye Mu couldn't help laughing out loud at this unscrupulous and lead-to-traffic title.
This song was clearly created right before her eyes, there was no such thing as a love letter to Mana...
Love letter...
Thinking about the earth-shattering experiences that had happened to him in the past month, Ruo Yemu's eyes became a little unfocused.
It's a bizarre plot, like something out of a comic book. There's no love letters or anything like that, but they've already decided on a lifelong commitment... Engagement first, then dating? Does that count?
I don't know how to write love letters or anything like that, and I can't imagine Weijun writing something like that to me. I don't need such a thing at all.
But last night I saw some photos he and Xiao Xinxin had taken together... There were a lot of things I wanted to do together. Xiao Xinxin is really good at this, she can think of a lot of ways to play.
----
Before sunset, Su Shi arrived at the restaurant whose location her mother had sent her.
Being led into the private room by the waiter, Su Shi looked at her mother and Juan Wei who were talking, and there was a hint of confusion in her eyes.
Because... Mom is now wearing the same smart suit she wears at work.
And classmate Wei was also wearing a formal black jacket, which was rare.
The two people who were sitting a few chairs apart were also discussing business topics.
Su Shi's pupils were trembling violently.
I shouldn't think this way, but why, why do I feel like my mom and the current Wei classmate look so good together in the same picture?!
Chapter 124 Wei’s Fatherly Love? ?
In the private room, Xianjuan Wei, who was explaining the whole story to Su Shi, sighed and said, "Anyway, when I decided to go inspect the executives I had met with when I just returned to Tokyo, I thought of your wife's name again and finally connected her with Su Shi."
Su Shi was confused at first when she saw her mother and Xian Juan Wei together, but then her eyes turned into a determined look to defend her mother. After hearing this, she became confused again.
Husband... Madam, what kind of strange name is this?
Wei... Could it be that Wei really wants to change to a more contrasting taste after having the cute little Mu?
As if he had figured out Su Shi's thoughts at the moment, Xian Juanwei gave her an embarrassed smile:
"Because Suyo-san was the first friend I made after returning to Tokyo, it would be a bit awkward to address Ms. Nagasaki by her old work name, since she's Suyo-san's mother."
"So, just call me Madam."
Su Shi, I understand!
Yes, Wei comes from a family of conglomerates, so his etiquette and address are similar to Xiaoxiang's, and he may have some habits that are different from the general public.
That makes sense, that makes sense!
Am I the first friend that Wei made after returning to Tokyo... It seems so. When we first went to RiNG to talk about Kasuga Kage and crychic, didn't he say that he had just returned to China?
Am I, after all, a little different? To the point that...
Xian Juanwei seemed to have picked up on Su Shi's thoughts as if possessed by some strange force and said:
"Because of classmate Su Shi, I decided to adjust my wife's position. For so many years, classmate Su Shi and her mother have rarely reunited, and she is also creating value for my family."
"For me, Su Shi's happiness is much more important than the small profits generated by a company."
"After all, I can't even count how many companies of the same size belong to the company that Madam previously managed, but I only have a few dozen friends that I truly recognize."
Su Shi suppressed the happy emotions in her heart, making the rise and fall of her chest less obvious.
Is it because you think my happiness is important that you arranged a new position for my mother? That's great, it's not because of my mother!
Cough, cough cough... Calm down, don't be too concerned about your mother.
"Thank you very much, Wei, but if Mom is transferred like this, will it cause trouble for your company and employees? Besides, Mom has been working so hard, and suddenly having nothing to do might..."
Su Shi was actually very tempted by Xian Juan Wei's suggestion to transfer her mother to a less busy position with more pay, but she wasn't sure whether her mother, a strong woman, could adapt to a life without much to do...
Hearing Su Shi's question, Xian Juanwei shook his head:
"It doesn't matter. I'll just keep the company for now. As for my wife..."
Xianjuan Wei's eyes swept over the mother and daughter Su Shi in front of him, and his voice no longer sounded as relaxed and casual as before:
"Madam is not only Su Shi's mother, but also a manager under the Xianjuan Group. If you have any objections to the arrangements above, then keep your opinions to yourself and obey them. You will gradually adapt to it in the future."
"This is my right as the future owner of the Xianjuan Foundation. I will properly arrange the affairs of Su Shi and his wife. Because I recognize Su Shi, I cannot just sit back and do nothing about your situation."
"So, Sushi-san, don't worry or say anything. I'll do what I want to do. The same goes for Madam. If you can't refuse, then learn to enjoy it."
Su Shi's hesitant voice broke a little: "It's really troublesome... Thank you for your trouble, Wei."
Ms. Nagasaki had no choice but to promise, "Mr. Genmaki, I will continue to do my best in my new position."
There was a knock on the door and the waiter brought in a few small plates of appetizers. Su Shi looked at Xianjuan Wei who started eating without saying much, and a trance flashed in his eyes.
Haha… So this is what Wei was like when he was the heir to the foundation?
It's completely different here.
If you have the courage... then continue to be together.
Suddenly, there will be someone around you who will arrange everything for you, including things that you are powerless to do, which can be easily solved without you being able to refuse.
Although it seems like I didn't consult my own opinion before making the decision, I really can't hate it. Instead, I feel happy and satisfied...
Can't refuse?
That was very enjoyable.
What does it feel like...
Is it... the feeling of fatherly love that has long disappeared?
Su Shi, who had only experienced fatherly love a long time ago but had never experienced the care between lovers, really couldn't tell the difference, because she had at least experienced some of the feelings of the former, but could only imagine the latter.
Even though Xianjuan Wei had specially spent a birthday with her, it was always just as a "friend" after all, and it always seemed like she was trying to squeeze in between him and Xiaomu to share the feeling of mutual care...
Su Shi's mind was in a mess as she had seriously lacked the experience of being cared for and treated by An Lingmeng's father 7 (nine) 5 Shrimp Master Lin Pai.
No, no, it can’t be fatherly love, otherwise classmate Wei and mother would be...what the hell is going on!
The dishes were served one by one, but Genmaki Yui seemed to have withdrawn from her status as the heir to the consortium, and only chatted with Ms. Nagasaki and Su Shi about some light daily topics from time to time.
"By the way, Madam, do you have any specific plans with Su Shi during the next few days of vacation?"
Ms. Nagasaki put down her chopsticks and said somewhat stiffly, "I want to accompany Su Shi to visit some places in Tokyo that we haven't had time to visit before. I haven't thought about the details yet."
"Is that so?" Xianjuan Wei nodded to the mother and daughter and said, "Then tell everyone in the group that we won't be gathering together on weekdays this week, leaving Su Shi's time to Madam. But please leave your weekends to me, as I have plans to film overseas."
"Ah... what do you mean by going abroad to film?"
"I asked Su Shi to help me play a role in the movie. Didn't Madam know about this before?"
"That's it! Yes, I do, but I didn't realize it was Genjumaki-kun who invited me to the movie..."
"After all, Su Shi didn't know I knew Madam before, so there's no need to explain."
Day off...going abroad?
Su Shi's hand holding the chopsticks froze in mid-air.
Is it the same arrangement as for my mother? Has it been decided without asking any questions?
Wait, passport, visa...it's too late to prepare these things now!
After all, Wei is not omniscient and omnipotent, so it is inevitable that he may not have considered some things carefully. Everyone in the crew has to be prepared before the trip can be carried out. I will remind him later.
While they were chatting, there was another knock on the door of the private room. However, this time, after a few seconds, the person who came in was no longer the waiter who served the food...
Su Shi looked at the woman in a black suit at the door with a nervous look.
Is it the man in black from the Xianjuan family? He suddenly interrupted Wei during dinner. Could he have something urgent to do?
"Young Master." The man in black bowed slightly and made a "please" gesture towards the door.
Xian Juanwei nodded and said to the mother and daughter, "Classmate Su Shi, Madam, please excuse me for a moment."
