Chapter 117 Open your mind
Lunch break.
After finishing her work, Su Ti thought about visiting Zhongrong Building.
Otherwise, if we only call each other every day without meeting in person, it would be like we are in an online relationship.
Just as Su Ti was about to take action, Rong Leyi came over holding two lunch boxes.
"Sister Suti, your lunch."
"Hmm? Did you order it for me?"
Rong Leyi shook her head, "Brother Amin asked me to give it to you."
Suti took the box curiously.
When I opened it, I saw two custard buns and some special Pingjiang dishes inside.
Su Ti looked through it but couldn't find the takeaway order paper.
Out of curiosity, I called A-Min to ask about the origin of the bento.
Ah Min said, "Miss Su, this was prepared by Sister Qi. She learned how to cook Pingjiang cuisine and said that you hadn't been there, so she asked me to give it to you to try for lunch."
Su Ti thought about it and realized that she hadn't been to Tianxi for several days.
She asked Ah Min to help express her gratitude, and then said, "Get ready and go to Zhongrong later."
"Miss Su, are you going to see the eldest master or do business?"
Su Ti was very excited, "Visiting your eldest son."
"I heard that the eldest son is in a meeting at the port all day today, so he should not be in the company now."
Su Ti: “…”
We won't see each other again?!
Su Ti responded and hung up the phone helplessly.
Then he pulled Rong Leyi over and had lunch with her.
After eating two bites, I have no appetite anymore.
If things continue like this, she suspects the passionate love period will turn into a dull period.
Su Ti put down her chopsticks and sighed.
Seeing this, Rong Leyi didn't dare to move her chopsticks, "Sister Su Ti, are you okay?"
Su Ti held her chin up and looked at the tall buildings outside the window, her mind running wild, "Has your uncle been injured in a fight recently?"
Rong Leyi uttered, "No, no."
If my uncle is fighting, do I have to do it myself?
Any one of the Rong family’s A-generation internal staff can do the job.
Su Ti stroked his chin and continued to speculate, "Will his face be injured and disfigured?"
I'm concerned about her appearance, that's why I don't video chat with her.
Rong Leyi felt that her aunt's inference was quite outrageous.
"Sister Su Ti, no one should dare to touch my uncle's face."
Su Ti agreed with this.
Forget it.
If the mountain doesn't come, I'll go to the mountain.
Busy until the end of get off work.
Su Ti asked A Min to go directly to Tianxi Villa.
Halfway through the journey, Su's mother called and asked, "Why haven't you come back yet?"
Su Ti opened her mouth and said, "Mom, I have something to do at the company tonight, so..."
"Put aside whatever you have to do. Tomorrow you will have your uncle's birthday party. The dress has been ordered. It's at the counter in the Henderson Mall. Go directly there. Your sister and I will be there soon."
Su Ti wanted to say a few more words, but the phone was hung up.
Ah Min saw her bitter face in the rearview mirror and couldn't help but let go of the accelerator, "Ms. Su?"
"Well... let's turn around and go to Henderson Land Development first."
Ah Min smiled, not surprised at all, "In fact, even if Miss Su goes to Tianxi tonight, she may not be able to see the eldest master."
"how?"
"The port hub will hold its groundbreaking ceremony next month. I heard that the eldest son has been working non-stop these past few days and even sleeps in the company at night."
When Su Ti heard this, she felt heartbroken.
Being so busy, no wonder I don’t have time to video chat with her.
This night.
Su Ti still couldn't meet Rong Shaoting.
After arriving at the mall and trying on the dresses, Su's mother took the two sisters to a restaurant for dinner.
During this time, her sister Su Wen went out for ten minutes.
Don't know what happened.
When she came back, a corner of her nail was broken and the shark clip was crooked.
Su's mother asked her suspiciously what was going on.
Su Wen drank tea to moisten her throat, "It's okay, there are people fighting, it will be exciting to watch."
Mother Su glanced at her hand and asked, "Did you break your nails because you were so excited watching other people fighting?"
Su Wen: “…”
After all the hassles, the mother and daughter returned to Lanyue Street at 9:30 pm. They entered the yard and passed the parking area on the right.
Mother Su glanced at her and asked Su Ti a soul-searching question, "Which car have you driven to work recently?"
"Camry."
Su's mother pointed to the right, "Where's the car?"
Su Ti blinked, "Uh..."
Su Wen came to the rescue in time: "Did you put it in the Henderson Mall?"
"Yes, yes, yes, I forgot, Mom, I'm going now..."
"Why are you going? Don't you see what time it is? Why don't you pick it up tomorrow?"
"Oh."
Return to the room.
After washing up, Su Ti lay on the bed and flipped through the photo album.
After reading it, I was thoughtful.
She didn't even have a photo of Rong Shaoting.
The two of them have been dating for such a long time, not only have they never taken a photo together, there is not even a solo photo of him.
In the blink of an eye, it was already half past ten at night.
Rong Shaoting's call arrived as expected.
Su Ti picked up the phone but didn't say anything.
The man's deep and low voice sounded, "Why aren't you talking? Are you asleep?"
Su Ti sighed quietly, "Thinking about something."
"What are you thinking about?"
"I wonder if your phone camera is broken."
Rong Shaoting laughed in a deep voice, "It's not broken, I'm still socializing."
The implication is that it is inconvenient to watch the video.
Su Ti curled her lips, using the same excuse she had given her one night.
There was silence in the receiver for a few seconds.
Su Ti muttered softly, "You didn't call me via video. Are you hiding something from me?"
"Click", the sound of a lighter lighting a cigarette.
"The port construction will start soon, and I'm afraid it will get busier and busier." Rong Shaoting smoked a cigarette and persuaded, "If you don't have time to video chat in the future, what are your plans?"
This question stumped Suti.
During the days when we can’t meet, videos can at least comfort us.
If I can't even spare the time for a video call, then...
Su Ti thought about it and said frankly: "I wanted to come to you tonight."
"Why didn't you come?"
"Something happened at home."
The man exhaled smoke, his voice becoming increasingly gloomy, "So you didn't dare tell your family and came to find me?"
Suti couldn't answer.
She didn't see any conflict between the two.
But when Rong Shaoting asked this, Su Ti vaguely figured out the crux of the problem.
Her parents knew she had a boyfriend, but they didn't take it seriously.
The two elders probably never dreamed that her boyfriend was the one they called Brother Rong.
If she didn't tell her family the truth, it would seem that her relationship with Rong Shaoting would always have to be secretive.
Su Ti lay on the bed, speechless for a long time.
Rong Shaoting didn't force her anymore. The little girl was actually very smart and sometimes she could understand things at a glance.
Time passes slowly in silence.
The man could hear the rhythm of her breathing was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and he could tell that she was probably having some mental struggle.
I want to push him, but I can't bear it.
Finally, I hung up the phone and turned to video call.
He missed her after not seeing her for four days.
Su Ti looked at the video application that popped up on the screen.
He quickly sat up, straightened his hair, and pressed the answer button eagerly.
In the video.
The man seemed to be standing outdoors, with the sidelight falling on his face, making his features deep and clear.
Su Ti looked at it again and again, as if she had made a decision, and smiled faintly, "When are you free tomorrow?"
Rong Shaoting's eyes fell on Su Ti's smiling face almost greedily.
After a while, he replied with a rolling voice, "I have a meeting tomorrow, so I'm afraid I won't be free."
Su Ti asked again: "Then at night... Tsk, I can't do it at night. What about the day after tomorrow?"
"Anything tomorrow night?"
