Chapter 121 No, we can't let it break!
Half a bowl of soup was spilled all over her.
What words?
What is this nonsense?
The old lady's words completely stunned Jiang Cheng.
Her husband died young, what does that have to do with her studying?
If we're talking about work, what does it have to do with her husband dying young?
"Excuse me."
Jiang Cheng stood up and said.
"It's alright, it's alright, I'll take care of it." Su Qingrou quickly got up.
I need to tidy up again.
Jiang Cheng looked at himself and said, "The restroom is over there, I'll go take a shower."
"I'll help you," Su Qingrou said, and was about to take Jiang Cheng with her.
The old lady grabbed Su Qingrou.
Then he pointed and said to Jiang Cheng, "Over there, you'll see it when you walk over."
"Okay." Jiang Cheng didn't think much of it and walked towards the restroom.
"mom."
Su Qingrou frowned as she watched Jiang Cheng leave.
Jiang Cheng was, after all, a guest, so she wanted to go over and help him wipe his clothes.
"Don't go, I have something to tell you."
The old lady said softly, pulling Su Qingrou to sit down.
"What's wrong?" Su Qingrou asked.
Then he touched his hair, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.
After all, she's a woman in her thirties, so she understands some social etiquette.
Judging from the old lady's expression, I guessed what it was.
The old lady said, "Is your relationship with him really just that of a boss and an employee?"
Su Qingrou's sister and brother-in-law also stared intently at Su Qingrou, craning their necks.
Su Qingrou blushed and avoided eye contact, saying, "Otherwise, he's young and capable."
"Are you stupid! Can't you think of a better way? This young man has never eaten a fancy meal before."
"sister!"
These words were spoken by Su Qingrou's older sister, which made her extremely embarrassed.
"I'm not kidding you. Think about it, you're still young, don't you want to find someone to rely on?"
"This pie fell from the sky, God practically fed it to you, and you're not going to take it?"
"oops."
"Tell me the truth, has Xiao Jiang ever laid a hand on you at work?" the old lady asked, holding Su Qingrou's hand.
Su Qingrou buried her head, her face burning.
"No, no, he's fine."
The old lady then asked, "Did he look at you? What part of you did he like to look at the most?"
Su Qingrou pursed her lips and remained silent.
Because...it seems so...
"Look, tell him, he'll be out soon!"
Su Qingrou said in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, "Legs."
Snapped!
The older sister, Su Qingying, clapped her hands and said, "It's safe! Isn't it safe?!"
The old lady said, "You child are so insensible!"
"Let me put it this way: once you miss this opportunity, it's gone forever. If you want to meet a man this good again, you're truly blessed."
"So, this is ultimately your own business. That's all I have to say. I'm taking Xiaoya to your older sister's house later. Think about it yourself."
Xiao Ya is Su Qingrou's daughter.
Su Qingrou was speechless, her heart pounding wildly, completely in a state of panic.
Her brother-in-law was sitting next to her and couldn't interrupt, but he was also getting anxious.
Although he knew he was going to give his sister-in-law to someone else, it made him feel both sad and envious.
But that's Lime's boss, Nick's boss!
In a small place like Yancheng, if you see someone with a name and a business, that's a big boss, and that's definitely more effective than you talking about some unknown person with quiet capital.
If Nick's sister-in-law really goes with Nick's boss, will he still have to worry about the internet cafe losing money?
Even a little water leaking from between his sister-in-law's fingers would be enough for him to eat his fill.
"Say something! Why are you being so coy? I want to eat it even if you don't!" Su Qingying said.
My brother-in-law, sitting next to me, chimed in, "That's right! If you're not going to eat it, give it to your sister!"
The old lady looked up and glanced at something, as if something was amiss, but never mind, that's not the point right now.
"Alright, that's enough. Think about it yourself."
The old lady got up as she spoke, "I'm going to pack my things."
"Mom, let me help you!"
Su Qingrou quickly followed.
When Jiang Cheng came out of the restroom, he saw the old lady carrying a bag and Su Qingying holding a child.
Su Qingrou's brother-in-law was also carrying a large bag of something.
The group looked like they were about to leave.
Su Qingrou was the only one sitting in the restaurant, pursing her lips and eating with her head down.
what's the situation?
When the old lady saw Jiang Cheng come out, she smiled and said, "We have some things to do, so we'll be leaving now. We won't bother you any longer."
"Oh, okay, okay," Jiang Cheng said subconsciously.
Then I saw the old lady changing her shoes, and she did it incredibly fast.
In the blink of an eye, everyone was gone.
Jiang Cheng was still standing where he had come out.
People are stupid.
What's going on? Is there a mistake?
I just came out of the bathroom and I opened it the wrong way.
Why are you leaving first and not bothering me? Isn't this your home?
Did the host family leave by taxi while they were eating?
what's the situation?
Jiang Cheng walked into the restaurant, still in a daze.
Su Qingrou didn't look up, stirring her chopsticks in the bowl, and said softly, "Eat some more."
Jiang Cheng looked back at the gate, then at Su Qingrou.
You can only sit down.
Not to mention, there are no outsiders here, just look at Su Qingrou.
It really feels like a family.
That's right, it's that sense of family, the feeling of having a female head of the household.
Everyone likes to call this feeling "a married woman..."
"What happened to them?"
Jiang Cheng asked.
Actually... how could I not realize it?
But is this too much?
"Don't worry about them, they have things to do. You should eat some more. You didn't eat much because you seemed nervous when there were so many people around."
Jiang Cheng saw a bowl of freshly served rice on the table in front of him.
To be honest, the food at Su Qingrou's house is pretty good; he really didn't eat much just now.
So he picked up the bowl and started eating.
Su Qingrou sat opposite Jiang Cheng, looked up, and put a warm, big sister-like smile on her face as she served him food.
"Eat slowly."
Although she seems much more composed now.
But in reality, she is currently engaged in a fierce internal struggle.
Should I take a shower or not?
Would it be awkward to take a shower? Would it be unhygienic not to shower?
But does he want to take a bath?
"Don't go back tonight."
Su Qingrou brushed her bangs aside, turned to look at Jiang Cheng, and said.
Tense, extremely tense.
Jiang Cheng was stunned.
Looking at the woman in front of him, he said, "No, I developed the habit of not staying up late when I was in high school. I can't stay up at night."
Su Qingrou lowered her head slightly, pursed her lips, and said, "I... I don't want anything, I don't want any titles. Helping you with your work, your life, and your emotions is my job."
"Um...it seems quite late, you should rest now? Then I won't bother you today?"
"You despise me..." Su Qingrou said softly, raising her head.
Jiang Cheng was stunned.
Those eyes... their gaze made her heart skip a beat.
It was as if this woman would shatter at any moment.
No, we can't let her break!
