Seeing Jiujiu listless, Mo Li felt sorry for her. But before he could comfort Jiujiu, he heard Jiujiu ask him, "Can I still go out to play?"
"Play what?"
She went out for a while and came back with a Tyrannosaurus rex. She wanted to play again?
*
After Jiujiu and Mo Li left, Tang Mengze also left.
When she reached the door, she was stopped by a waiter. The waiter was smiling, but there was disdain in his eyes.
She didn't expect that this handsome man wanted to escape the bill.
Luckily, she was quick enough to stop him. Otherwise, she would have to pay.
"Sir, you haven't paid the bill yet!"
Even though the waiter tried to hide it, Tang Mengze still saw the disdain in his eyes. She paused, took out her bank card and handed it over.
After paying, Tang Mengze left without looking back.
Back in the car, Tang Mengze didn't start the engine. Instead, he called Tang Mao.
Tang Mao was taking photos for her new film. Seeing that it was Tang Mengze, she picked it up.
"Mengze?"
Although Tang Mengze was the child of Tang Mao's brother, they were only two years apart in age. Although they called each other aunt and nephew, they were as close as siblings.
They usually talked on WeChat. Tang Mao didn't know how to react when Tang Mengze suddenly called her.
"Something happened at home?"
Tang Mengze was silent for a while. "Nothing happened at home. Can't you think better?"
Tang Mao was even more confused. "Could it be that you're bankrupt?"
That shouldn't be the case. She saw the news last week that Tang Mengze had bought a new company.
Tang Mengze felt that she was going to die of anger because of Tang Mao.
"How are you and Cui Jing?"
Hearing Tang Mengze suddenly mention Cui Jing, Tang Mao's desire to confide in her decreased by half. She picked up a strand of hair by her ear and twirled it around her finger. As she twirled her hair, she said, "Just like that. Why?"
"You're not young anymore. Don't be like those girls who only care about their career. After work, find time to call Cui Jing and talk to him. Cultivate your relationship, in case …"
The same words again.
Tang Mao rolled her eyes. "Cui Jing and I are just siblings. There's really nothing between us."
Tang Mao almost dug her heart out and showed it to her family. There were hundreds of young hunks' names written on her heart, but Cui Jing's name was not among them.
She didn't know what was so good about Cui Jing. The whole family kept pushing her into Cui Jing's arms as if there was no other man in the world except Cui Jing.
Hearing Tang Mao's words, Tang Mengze couldn't help but sigh. "Even if you don't have feelings for each other now, it doesn't mean you won't in the future. Feelings can be cultivated, and Grandpa and Grandma really like him …"
"They like it. They can divorce and marry over. I didn't stop them." Tang Mao wondered why Tang Mengze was looking for her. She didn't expect that it was to talk about Cui Jing. She said impatiently, "Children shouldn't get involved in adult matters. I know what I'm doing. Okay, I have to work. Goodbye."
Tang Wu did not give Tang Mengze a chance to continue and hung up the phone.
Tang Mengze picked up her phone and looked for her assistant. She asked her assistant to help her investigate Jiujiu's situation.
If she was a bodyguard, it would be fine. If she wasn't …
Thinking of Jiujiu's innocent smile, Tang Mengze didn't know what to do for a moment.
Jiujiu and Mo Li returned to the East Court. Cui Jing was talking to a strange man.
Ying Chenyang said apologetically, "The person who arranged the room that day was a temporary worker. He didn't know that President Cui is allergic to pollen. I've already asked him to leave. President Cui, please forgive me."
Cui Jing chuckled and a faint smile appeared on his handsome face. Like a bell ringing, he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "President Ying, you're treating me as an outsider. With our relationship, there's nothing to be magnanimous about."
Cui Jing finished speaking and took a sip of tea. He glanced at Mo Li and Jiujiu and asked, "How was it?"
He was obviously asking about Jiujiu.
Thinking of how Jiujiu had gone out the whole morning to beat up Ying Jue and then called Tang Mengze brothers, Mo Li really didn't know how to describe how Jiujiu was doing. He simply kept quiet.
Jiujiu looked at Ying Chenyang curiously and replied, "It was fine. I just didn't have enough to eat. This is?"
Cui Jing said, "This is Ying Jue's brother, President Ying Chenyang."
As soon as he said this, Jiujiu immediately knew who Ying Chenyang was.
Thinking of how brainless Ying Jue was, Jiujiu guessed that Ying Chenyang was the reason the Ying Family could survive until now. She smiled and greeted him, "Hello, President Ying."
Ying Chenyang was stunned by Jiujiu and Cui Jing's sudden intimacy. He narrowed his eyes and carefully observed Jiujiu and Cui Jing. After confirming that Jiujiu was the person Ying Jue had secretly taken photos of that day, he was shocked.
The East Garden was where the mistress of the Cui Family lived. It went without saying that Cui Jing had brought this woman to the East Garden.
Thinking of how Ying Jue had fallen for this woman, he felt that it was not a loss.
Jiujiu said a few words to Cui Jing and then went to the kitchen to look for food.
Ying Chenyang thanked him again solemnly and wanted to mention the cooperation between the two families. However, when Cui Jing apologized, he said that there was no need. When he mentioned the cooperation, he changed the topic. Obviously, he didn't want to talk about it with Ying Chenyang.
Ying Chenyang was annoyed by Cui Jing, but now the Ying Family was in the wrong and the Song Family had the initiative. He could only grit his teeth and admit defeat. He would come again next time.
Because Cui Jing was allergic to pollen, the food in the kitchen was particularly bland.
Jiujiu casually ate two mouthfuls to fill her stomach. When she walked out of the kitchen, she saw Mo Li whispering to Cui Jing.
Hearing Jiujiu's footsteps, Cui Jing turned his head and looked at Jiujiu with a smile in his eyes, "Jiujiu is really amazing."
Jiujiu, "…"
Mo Li, "…"
Because of the special nature of the East Garden, the three of them left the East Garden together that night and went to Cui Jing's other house to rest.
In the next few days, Cui Jing went out to discuss business in the day and Jiujiu followed him. At night, Cui Jing asked Mo Li to take Jiujiu to eat a big meal. Jiujiu's life was very good.
When the business trip that lasted half a month was about to end, Jiujiu met Tang Mengze on the last day.
Tang Mengze wore black casual clothes and went directly to Cui Jing's house. When he saw Jiujiu sitting on the carpet, eating potato chips and drinking coke, he was stunned and asked, "Where is Cui Jing?"
Jiujiu pointed in the direction of the study, "He is talking with Assistant Mo in the study."
Jiujiu pointed the way and continued to watch the movie. Tang Mengze didn't go directly to the study. Instead, he sat down next to Jiujiu and asked Jiujiu, "Do you like watching movies?"
Jiujiu glanced at the handsome guy in the movie, took a bite of candied fruit and said slowly, "It's okay. It's just to kill time. Are you close to my boss?"
They even had the key to the door. It seemed that they were very close.
Tang Mengze said tentatively, "He's my uncle. Do you think we're close?"
