"No, I don't know anyone from your company. When I got there, you were so busy that you didn't have the time to greet me. I'm like a piece of cloth there, I don't want to go! " Ai Ting waved her hand.
"It's not like you have anything to do during the holidays. Since you're free, you might as well take a look." Chu Mengyao tried her best to invite her, "Aunt specifically told me to definitely invite you."
Ai Ting was surprised, "This is truly surprising." She clearly remembered that every time Chu Zhiruo saw her, she would have that expression of her.
She could vaguely guess why Chu Zhiruo's attitude towards him had changed. It should be because she had once told Chu Zhiruo that Xiaoyiran had been introduced by him.
"I really don't have the time. Next week, I'm going to the capital. I should be back after the new year." Ai Ting thought for a while, then turned her head and helplessly said.
Going to the capital, Chu Mengyao's first reaction was to ask Xiaoyiran, "Are you going to see him?"
Ai Ting did not say anything and nodded.
Chu Mengyao was a little worried for her, she extended his hand and pulled her back, "Otherwise, it's better if you don't go, her family is over there." Although she didn't say it explicitly, what she meant was that Xiaoyiran's lover was, after all, in the capital city.
"His lover was abroad for the new year, so he let me go." Ai Ting's voice was a little low. She was alone in H City, so it would be better to celebrate New Year with him. At least this year, she won't feel lonely when others are reunited.
Chu Mengyao frowned, she still felt that something was amiss.
Ai Ting saw through her worry and comforted her on purpose, "Don't worry, I can control myself."
"Then be careful." Chu Mengyao warned her repeatedly. She knew that Ai Ting was wrong, but she …
"It's nothing. The novelty between a man and a woman is only three months. He didn't come to find me a while back. I don't think he would have come to find me at all if it wasn't for that guy of his who went out. " "I think maybe we'll split up in a year."
It seemed like she didn't care about this relationship, but Chu Mengyao still felt a faint unease in her heart, and was very worried for her. She understood Ai Ting, she was not the type of woman who viewed relationships very indifferently, nor was she the type of woman who walked freely amongst men. It was impossible for her to be like what she said, uninvolved with emotions, and let go of such feelings so easily.
Since the two of them were walking together, they would eventually leave something behind. She was very afraid that Ai Ting would be harmed in this relationship.
After eating, the two of them met Meng Yiran and Tao Feijin at the elevator.
Since they were all familiar with each other, they naturally had to exchange a few pleasantries.
"I'll send you guys off. Where are you guys going later?" Tao Feijin looked at them and asked politely.
"I drove." Chu Mengyao said.
Tao Feijin nodded his head, but purposely spoke with Meng Yiran, "Do you remember when President Fu will be back?"
"He should be here by 5 o'clock. Why are you looking for him?" Meng Yiran said.
Ai Ting chuckled, her arm touching Chu Mengyao. She was a little uncomfortable with them teasing Chu Mengyao like this, so she could only pretend to be calm.
"Nothing important." Tao Feijin said.
"Why don't you ask him another day? He has something to do tonight." Meng Yiran said seriously.
"What is it?" Tao Feijin was a little surprised.
"President Fu said that he stopped coming to the company after getting off the plane. He went back home to participate in the annual meeting of the Hua Mei Group." Meng Yiran said.
Tao Feijin looked at Chu Mengyao and raised his eyebrows, "Being away on a business trip for so long is indeed tiring."
"Yes," Meng Yiran nodded his head, "President Fu is very busy over there, whether it's during the day or during the interviews. In the evening, there were also social engagements and some processing of company affairs. A few days ago, there was a video conference with Director Zhou in the middle of the night.
Chu Mengyao lowered her head and did not say a word.
When the elevator arrived, they went in.
"Naturally, President Fu has worked so hard, and there's no one by his side to take care of him. As your assistant, you must take care of him and take care of his health! " Tao Feijin deliberately sighed.
"Lawyer Tao, you know President Fu. He's a workaholic, and when he gets busy, he doesn't listen to anyone. " Meng Yiran was very emotional.
"Don't worry, there will be someone who can persuade him sooner or later." Tao Feijin thoughtfully looked at Chu Mengyao.
Chu Mengyao naturally felt his gaze, but she did not raise her head to look at him, pretending not to know.
The few of them went to the car park, and only said their farewells. Chu Mengyao and Ai Ting got in the car.
Chu Mengyao fastened her seat belt, started the car and left the car park.
"Mengyao, did you understand what Lawyer Tao said just now?" Ai Ting laughed.
"What do you mean?" Chu Mengyao drove the car with a focused expression.
"Lawyer Tao was just saying those things for you. Only that silly assistant seems to not understand and is still speaking the truth! This Tao Feijin is really powerful. " Ai Ting was still smiling happily.
Chu Mengyao's face turned red, but she did not say a word.
"Did you really not hear it?" Ai Ting raised her eyebrows and looked at her.
Chu Mengyao calmly looked at Ai Ting, "Why didn't I hear it?"
Ai Ting deliberately asked, "Then are you going to pick him up at five in the afternoon?"
Of course, she wanted to pick him up, but there wasn't enough time. "I have a social gathering tonight, so I don't have time to pick him up."
"What social gathering is so important, just push it away." Ai Ting waved her hand nonchalantly, as she looked at Chu Mengyao curiously.
But Chu Mengyao's expression was very calm, which made Ai Ting very confused, "Mengyao, he left for around a week, right? Don't you miss him? Shouldn't you immediately go and see him when this sort of farewell is worth a new marriage? "
Ai Ting said as she shook his head, "Shouldn't you be very excited and happy at this moment? "Why are you so calm? It doesn't seem like a passionate love at all."
Although Chu Mengyao was very bashful, she admitted it very generously in front of her best friend, "I miss him a lot, there's nothing much to doubt about this."
"Why don't you pick him up if you want to?" Ai Ting asked.
"Assistant Meng said he was going to attend the annual meeting of the Hua Mei Group. Don't you remember?" Chu Mengyao said leisurely.
"He's quite interesting as well. It's been so long since we last met, and he's actually participating in some annual gathering …" The two of you are both so weird, so why don't we meet? Both of you are busy at night … It doesn't seem like a relationship at all. " Ai Ting's expression was a little conflicted.
Hearing this, Chu Mengyao revealed a faint smile, and her face turned a little red, "Actually, the social gathering I went to tonight was the same as Fu Yi, it was also the Hua Mei Group's annual gathering." When she heard from Meng Yiran that Fu Yi would also go to the annual gathering of the Hua Mei Group, she was very pleasantly surprised.
"I say, you guys have been hiding your strength for quite some time. "It turns out that we've already arranged for it." Ai Ting intimately patted her shoulders.
"It wasn't an appointment. It really was just a coincidence." Chu Mengyao explained, "I agreed to attend this annual party a long time ago. And I just found out about what Assistant Meng said. "
"It should be that Fu Yi wants to give you a surprise, right?" Ai Ting guessed.
Did she really want to surprise him? When the red light stopped, Chu Mengyao looked at the phone quietly in the driver's seat. He did not send her a message.
"Mengyao, you must dress up a bit prettier tonight." Ai Ting purposely teased her.
Chu Mengyao rolled his eyes at her.
"I heard there's a new lingerie shop over there. Do you want to take a look?" Ai Ting's tone was very dubious.
Chu Mengyao's face immediately turned red, "There's no need."
But who was Ai Ting, in the end Chu Mengyao still obediently went with her to that shop. When she walked out of the shop, Ai Ting held a paper bag in her hands.
Chu Mengyao brought Ai Ting back home. After Ai Ting got off the car, she pointed at the paper bag on the front passenger seat, "This is tonight's surprise attack, don't forget to wear it!"
Seeing Ai Ting go up the stairs, Chu Mengyao's eyes swept across the paper bag and she could not help but blush.
After sending Ai Ting back home, Chu Mengyao went straight to the hospital. Before entering the ward, she had first made a trip to Chu Zhiruo's attending physician.
"The patient's recovery is very good. If we observe for another two days, there won't be any special circumstances that will allow her to leave the hospital." After saying that, the attending physician paused, "But at home, you must rest quietly, and not have any big ups and downs in your emotions. Be careful not to irritate the patient mentally. "
Now that she knew that Chu Zhiruo was in a stable condition, Chu Mengyao felt a lot more at ease. When she got to the ward, Chu Zhiruo was already awake, and could walk a few steps in the room.
"Aunt, are you feeling better today?" Chu Mengyao asked softly.
"It's just that my head is still a little dizzy and my hands aren't listening to my commands." Chu Zhiruo sighed.
"It's all right, Aunt. There is always a process of recovery. Didn't the doctor also say that you needed rest? " Chu Mengyao comforted her.
"Aunt, I have good news for you. I met with lawyer Tao today. He said the audio content violated the marriage law, and even if it were a lawsuit, the judge wouldn't use it as evidence. " Chu Mengyao's expression was very happy, "If that's the case, then we are not in default, and do not need to compensate Wu's."
Chu Zhiruo was surprised: "Really?"
Chu Mengyao nodded her head, and said lightly: "I have already arranged for Lawyer Zhang to draw up an explanation to send to Wu's, and now the initiative is in our hands." Being able to handle this matter properly, she felt that the pressure on her lessened by a lot.
"Is this really settled? Is Lawyer Tao trying to lie to you? " Chu Zhiruo could not believe this.
"How is this possible?" When they left the firm, she had carefully thought about what Tao Feijin had said. It was indeed logical, "The Wu's should have received the instructions from our company already."
"Mengyao, you're overthinking this," Chu Zhiruo said with an ugly expression. "For such a big matter, why didn't you discuss it with me first?"
Chu Zhiruo's attitude made Mengyao feel that it was a little strange, "Aunt …." They had a huge headache over the matter regarding the breach of contract. Now that they had finally found a way to resolve the issue, why did their aunt's expression turn ugly?
