Chapter 258 - Invitations

Su Jinyi did not wander around for a long time like she had said. Only an hour later, she walked out with a bunch of books in her arms.

"Hey, I'm ready. I'm at the door now."

"Alright, I'll pick you up right away."

He Ruiting had previously driven his car into the underground parking lot, and instructed the company on the phone.

Actually, he had planned to return to the company for a meeting that day.

But because of Sheng Lin's sudden attack that morning, he was in a very bad mood.

He could not bear to see Su Jinyi being wronged, especially in front of him.

But at that moment, he was also unable to figure out if Sheng Lin rarely returned to his home country, or if she really had some other thoughts about him …

He didn't want to care what others thought, he only needed to know that he loved Su Jinyi dearly.

Very quickly, He Ruiting arrived in front of Su Jinyi. Seeing her holding onto so many books, he was surprised, and immediately got out of the car to pick her up.

"Why did you buy so much?"

"Some are for Xiao Qiu, some are for myself. I'm resigning, so I have plenty of free time.

He Ruiting was very happy to hear that she had resigned.

In the morning, he wasn't willing to say that Su Jinyi worked for another company in front of Sheng Lin, because if that happened, Sheng Lin would definitely ask around and find out which company it was.

That was why he had lied to save the situation.

He just found out that Su Jinyi didn't go to work and thought it was because she was in a bad mood.

He really had to resign.

He Ruiting's mood immediately became lighter, but he did not express it, and did not even ask, only saying: "Un, people always need to read, if not they will not be able to improve."

"Yes, that's right." Su Jinyi agreed with this point of view.

"Then where can I take you now?"

"Let's go home."

"Why don't we go have lunch? It's almost noon."

Facing He Ruiting's suggestion, Su Jinyi was stunned for a moment.

Indeed, it had been a long time since the two of them had shared any time, especially for Valentine's Day and the Double Seventh Festival. The two of them didn't seem to have any romantic memories.

"Okay?" He Ruiting asked.

"Mm, that's fine too." Although Su Jinyi felt that it was unnecessary, but in order not to ruin the mood, she agreed.

Not long after, He Ruiting drove to a French restaurant with familiarity.

During the three years that Su Jinyi was gone, he would sometimes come here alone to eat in order to get rid of the depression in his heart.

"Try it, you'll like it."

He parked the car, got off the car and helped Su Jinyi open the car door from the outside. Her movements was even faster than the doormen outside the restaurant.

"I can do it myself." Su Jinyi suddenly felt that she was not used to it.

This restaurant was located outside of the most prosperous region of An City, outside of the shopping mall. The environment was elegant and unique, Su Jinyi liked it the moment she walked in.

But just as the two of them sat down, He Ruiting's phone rang.

It was Sheng Lin.

Su Jinyi saw the name on the screen, but did not say anything. She continued to look at her menu.

He Ruiting immediately hung up the phone.

"Eh? Why did you hang up? " Su Jinyi asked.

"I have to eat now, with my wife. I don't have time to answer the phone."

But just as he replied, the phone rang again. It was still Sheng Lin.

He Ruiting hung up again, his speed even faster than before.

Su Jinyi could not bear to continue watching.

"Forget it. If she calls again, it's better to just answer the phone. That would be a bit too much."

"Too much?" He Ruiting chuckled, "If I'm being excessive with others, it's only because that person did something too excessive first."

"You mean Sheng Lin?"

Faced with Su Jinyi's confused question, He Ruiting did not know whether to laugh or cry.

He was only doing this because Sheng Lin was being slow!

Why didn't the people who were treated badly respond?

"Jinyi, is your heart really that big?"

He Ruiting said all of a sudden. Su Jinyi did not understand, so she did not continue to ask, but continued to look at the menu.

But, Sheng Lin called again ….

Su Jinyi rushed to say: "I think it's better if you accept it. Otherwise, how do you want to spend the night with me?"

"I need to spend the night with her?" He Ruiting was baffled.

"Aren't you friends? That's not good, right? "

The phone kept ringing, sounding harsh in a high-end restaurant.

He Ruiting had no choice but to answer the phone.

"Rui Ting? Did you just hang up on me? And twice! What's the matter with you? You actually hung up on me? "

"I accidentally pressed the wrong button." He Ruiting said in a perfunctory tone.

"I told you, you wouldn't have hung up on me. At noon, my colleague invited me to lunch. Where would you like to go for lunch? "

He Ruiting did not expect that the reason she called was to ask this boring question.

"Wherever you want to go."

"I've only just arrived and I don't know which restaurant will be tasty. If I can have a bad meal, I won't be in a good mood for the whole day."

After listening to her explanation, He Ruiting felt that Sheng Lin was being a bit unreasonable.

She wasn't like this before!

But it used to be fifteen years ago. Fifteen years can change a lot.

"Then ask your colleagues. They must know that there's nothing else I can do."

"No!" Sheng Lin stopped her, "I think it's better if I have lunch with you. Since we won't be late for a terrible meal, you can also chat with me, what do you think?"

He Ruiting was speechless.

He really wanted to tell Sheng Lin: "But I don't want to chat with you."

But when she thought about what Su Jinyi had just said, she swallowed the truth down her throat.

"No, I have an appointment with Jin Wei. Eat it yourself."

With that, he did not wait for Sheng Lin to say anything and hung up the phone.

"Isn't it a good idea for you to reject her like this?" Su Jinyi asked cautiously.

"What's wrong with that?"

"She's a girl after all. She wants face."

"You mean I didn't give her face?"

"Yes."

"Then when she was speaking, did she notice if she would hurt others?" He Ruiting stared into Su Jinyi's eyes, "I am only returning the favor."

The meaning behind his words was: I'm trying to seek justice for you.

Su Jinyi heard it.

"Thank you, but I really don't need it."

With that, she did not speak any further. She waved for the waiter to come over and told him the dishes she wanted to eat.

"Is that all?" the waiter asked.

"I'll ask the rest of you, sir." Su Jinyi slightly raised her hand.

"That's all." He Ruiting answered. Actually, he did not see what Su Jinyi had picked at all.

He Ruiting was a little angry at this moment.

But he also did not understand what he was angry about.

His phone suddenly released a "ding" sound, and Sheng Lin unexpectedly sent another message.

"Tell me the location of the restaurant, I'll go look for you."
