Chapter 83: So Nervous
Noon is approaching.
A Min arrived at Deep Water Bay on time to pick up Su Ti and Rong Le Yi.
In the car.
"What do you usually eat?" Su Ti pinched Rong Leyi's wrist bone, "Why are you so thin?"
Rong Leyi retracted her hand and said, "There are more seasonal vegetables."
Su Ti raised an eyebrow, "Where are the chicken, duck, fish and meat?"
"Very rarely. Wendy prepares a nutritious meal for me, and occasionally there will be pork chops."
Su Ti took a breath and said calmly: "Eat less pork chops, they are too greasy. I will take you to eat good food next time."
Rong Leyi nodded obediently.
When Su Ti looked at her, for a moment she wished she could send all the delicious food in the house to her so she could choose.
It’s all Wendy Jiang’s fault.
As the business car approaches Borrell Road.
Su Ti was still thinking about feeding Rong Leyi delicious food.
I glanced out the window and gradually realized that something was wrong.
Halfway up the mountain, multi-story luxury houses stand among the mountaintops.
Across the street you can vaguely see the beautiful view of Victoria Harbour.
This location doesn't look like a restaurant.
"Amin, this is..."
"Ms. Su, this is 21 Borough Road."
Suti was still wondering why the name sounded so familiar.
Rong Leyi, who was not very talkative, asked softly, "Are we going to grandma's house?"
Ah Min smiled faintly: "Yes, Miss Le Yi."
Su Ti looked around and asked, "Who is your grandma?"
Ah Min was worried that Rong Leyi couldn't explain clearly, so he took the initiative to take over the conversation, "Miss Su, it's the eldest son's mother, Mrs. Rong."
"what?!"
Suti kicked her legs without any preparation.
Seeing the business car driving into the underground parking lot, she shouted repeatedly: "Wait, wait, stop, stop..."
"Miss Su?"
A Min slowly stopped the car and looked back from the front seat in confusion.
At this time, Suti was on pins and needles. She first looked at her mobile phone, and then looked outside from time to time.
He looked panic-stricken, as if he was mentally disturbed.
"Um..." Su Ti calmed down and said, "Is it too late to go to the mall now?"
Although she was not mentally prepared to meet the parents at all.
But everyone was there, and Rong Leyi was beside them.
She couldn't just throw a tantrum and walk away.
Without waiting for Amin to answer, Suti asked again with a bitter face: "How many people are there in his family?"
The Rong family in Hong Kong City has a century-old history.
I guess all the aunts and uncles can get together to play mahjong for three tables.
It’s your first time there, so you can’t go empty-handed.
Su Ti touched her pocket and felt that her family’s assets were about to be emptied.
Here, Amin understood Suti's intention.
He immediately said, "Miss Su, don't bother. The eldest master has prepared a gift for you. There is no one else from the Rong family at Bo Lao Dao. Only Mrs. Rong lives here alone."
Su Ti digested Amin's words.
He breathed a sigh of relief and patted his pocket, knowing that his family assets were saved.
As for why Rong Tai lived alone here, Su Ti didn't ask any more questions.
What she is more concerned about now is whether Rong Tai is easy to get along with.
The wives of wealthy families must have good manners and upbringing.
But does that upbringing naturally carry with it unspoken contempt and criticism?
Su Ti looked down at her clothes and curled her lips.
White T-shirt, grey pleated skirt.
It’s over.
Su Ti covered the upper half of her face, and the corners of her lips continued to droop.
Why didn't Rong Shaoting say hello to her in advance?
At least give her time to prepare.
It would be so rude to meet his mother like this now.
Su Ti's idea of going to the mall to change clothes was completely shattered by A Min's step on the accelerator.
The car was parked downstairs in the parking area of Building A. At this moment, a tall and handsome figure was standing at the elevator entrance.
A Min asked Rong Leyi to get off the car first.
Su Ti didn't move, but looked at Rong Shao Ting outside the window with a pursed mouth.
Seeing this, the man stepped into the car and tapped her pouting lips with his fingertips, "What's wrong?"
Suti slapped his hand away, pulled at her skirt and said, "Why didn't you tell me yesterday that you were coming to visit your aunt? I didn't even wear formal clothes."
"No problem." Rong Shaoting smiled and explained frankly, "I just wanted to ask you to come over on a whim. It's a home-cooked meal. There's nothing to be particular about."
"Really? Wouldn't that be rude?"
"No. Just be yourself in front of Eita."
Su Ti felt a little relieved after hearing that.
After getting off the car, she followed Rong Shaoting into the elevator with messy steps, one deep and one shallow.
A'min followed with Rong Leyi, carrying a gift box.
When the elevator opened again.
A fragrant breeze blew by.
Su Ti met Rong Shaoting's mother, Lin Zhiyi, for the first time.
The lady in the ink-and-wash cheongsam stood quietly and gracefully in front of the hall, silently exuding a gentle and elegant charm.
That is a charm that even words like beautiful and graceful are not enough to describe.
Suti was extremely nervous.
It was even more stressful than the time when I pretended to be sick to skip classes as a kid and almost ended up on the operating table for my appendectomy.
"Auntie, hello, I'm Suti. I'm sorry to bother you by visiting me."
Lin Zhiyi's warm and considerate eyes met Su Ti's.
There is no critical scrutiny, nor arrogant perfunctory attitude.
"Hello, Miss Su." She responded with a faint smile, "I've been looking forward to your coming. How can this be a bother? Come in and sit down."
Su Ti had only one feeling at that moment, so gentle.
Over there, A Min placed the gift box at the door and left.
Rong Shaoting walked into the room and said, "Le Yi, come with me."
Rong Leyi nodded and followed the man to the study room on the opposite corner.
in the living room.
Lin Zhiyi moved the cakes on the table in front of Su Ti, "I heard from Mark that you like glutinous rice cakes. Try it and see if it tastes the same as last time."
Su Ti quickly bent down and gestured, "Thank you, auntie."
After saying that, she sensed something else and couldn't help but probe, "Aunt, the glutinous rice cake last time was..."
Lin Zhiyi smiled and answered, "I had nothing to do on weekdays, so I made some cakes. That time I asked Mark to bring them to you. He said you liked glutinous rice cakes the best."
Su Ti gasped silently.
It turned out that the pastries we ate in the teahouse that time were made by Rong Tai himself.
Suti gave a thumbs up and praised sincerely, "Auntie's craftsmanship is really great, the pastries are more authentic than those made by the teahouse chef."
Lin Zhiyi was amused by her.
When he turned his eyes, he accidentally caught sight of the blue diamond bracelet worn on Suti's wrist.
Lin Zhiyi's eyes flashed with understanding, and as she looked at Su Ti's beautiful and delicate eyes, her expression became more and more gentle.
She is a real and straightforward girl.
No wonder Mark fell in love.
On the other side, Rong Shaoting and Rong Leyi were sitting in the study.
The atmosphere between the uncle and nephew was not as comfortable as in the living room.
The man asked some questions that he had neglected to ask before.
Rong Leyi told the truth.
A moment of silence.
Rong Shaoting said in a low voice: "Your father will be back in two days."
Rong Leyi's expression tightened, "Is it because of me?"
Is she causing trouble for Daddy again?
"Not really." Seeing her self-blame, the man patiently explained, "There are some things that he needs to come back to deal with personally. Before that, if you don't go back to Jiang Di's house, is there any other place you want to go?"
Rong Leyi rubbed her palms with her thumbs and asked cautiously, "Is it okay anywhere?"
"tell me the story."
“I want to go to the interior.”
Rong Shaoting said calmly: "Is it because of Su Ti?"
Rong Leyi nodded, "Uncle, I won't cause trouble for Sister Su Ti, I just..."
The man raised his finger, interrupting her.
"Whether it will cause trouble or not depends on her own opinion."
