Chapter 45:
When Tang Eryuan woke up, a red mark was pressed on his face by the phone.
The sun was shining warmly in the house, he sat up from the quilt, stretched lazily, then picked up the phone, glanced at the text that Li Can sent last night His address, and then forwarded the address to Zhou Ze, and asked Zhou Ze's parents to have dinner there. Anyway, the place introduced by Li Can would not be bad.
Tang Eryuan finished washing, the red marks on his face had faded, he patted his face with satisfaction, and showed a smile in front of the mirror.
When he came out, Zhou Ze had already replied to the message, "Received, good morning."
Tang Eryuan felt a little boring, so she said "see you at noon" and threw the phone aside.
When he draws a picture, if he has no inspiration, he just plays around and looks for inspiration, which suits his character who doesn't like to be restrained.
Li Can's mother runs a fashion company. Tang Eryuan has cooperated with her company several times, so she is very familiar with the location of her company and the restaurants nearby, but Li Can said He hadn't been to that store yet, it may have been newly opened recently.
At noon, he finally put down his pen, went to the cloakroom, found a slightly more formal coat and set off.
When he went downstairs, he unconsciously stared at his toes. He walked steadily with every step, and he couldn't see the slightest excitement. He didn't even make an appointment with Li Can to go to the hotel. happy.
He tasted it carefully, and his mood can be said to be very calm, not anxious, not nervous, it seems that when he was proposed by Red Rose, he was not as excited as he imagined, seeing Red Rose's parents, he He didn't have the excitement he imagined, so wouldn't he have the excitement he imagined even if he actually married Red Rose in the future?
Tang Eryuan went to the parking lot while thinking about it. He retracted his thoughts and drove to the agreed place according to the navigation. He arrived a little earlier than the agreed time. After all, the other party is an elder. As a junior, he should Arrive early.
"Give me a quiet place."
The waiter said: "Sir, I'm sorry, we are a member system, only members can enter and eat."
"How to apply for membership?" Tang Eryuan frowned.
"Sir, members in our store can only be introduced by regular customers, you can't do it yourself."
Tang Eryuan frowned and said in her heart that she was troubled. She knew that she would not be here, and now the appointed time is approaching, and it is very inconvenient to change places.
He picked up his mobile phone and wanted to make a call to Li Can, but the call had not yet been dialed. A person who looked like a foreman hurried over, looked at Tang Eryuan, smiled and asked: "Are you Mr. Tang?"
Tang Eryuan nodded, "You know me?"
The foreman smiled attentively, "Of course I didn't have the chance to meet Mr. Tang, it was Mr. Li who said that you would come over for dinner in the near future, and ordered us to treat you well, and said that all the money you spent would be counted on him. on the account."
Tang Eryuan put away her phone, it seemed that Li Can had already said hello, he asked with some doubts: "How did you recognize me as the person he said?"
"Mr. Li gave me a photo."
"Photo?" Tang Eryuan didn't remember that Li Can had his photo, so she couldn't help but wonder, "What photo?"
The foreman took out his brain, flipped through it for a while, then found a photo and handed it to Tang Eryuan, "This is what Mr. Li sent me."
In the photo, Tang Eryuan is wearing a bathrobe and holding a glass of red wine. Lazy, it should have been an 'after the fact', Li Can candidly photographed it.
Tang Eryuan looked at the familiar hotel background, his cheeks blushed unnaturally, he sent the photo to his brain, and completely deleted the photo in the foreman's intelligence before putting The brain is returned to the foreman.
"When did Li Can tell you?"
He moved very fast. He only asked him where the restaurant was last night, and he made an appointment in advance today.
"It was just now." The foreman glanced at Tang Eryuan in surprise, then smiled and said, "Mr. Li is having dinner inside, I thought you two had an appointment to meet."
Tang Eryuan was a little surprised, "He's here?"
The foreman pointed to the direction of the store, "Mr. Li and his mother are having dinner, right there."
Tang Eryuan looked in the direction he pointed, it was blocked by an ecological wall, Tang Eryuan took two steps to the side, only to see a familiar figure, Li Can was facing him Sitting, there was a person sitting next to him, Tang Eryuan couldn't see the person's appearance, Li's mother sat opposite Li Can, Tang Eryuan looked over, just met Li's mother's eyes.
Mother Li saw Tang Eryuan's eyes lit up and waved enthusiastically. It was Li Can who introduced Tang Eryuan to her. Li Can said that he had a friend who was very talented. She could cooperate. She thought that her son wanted to help a friend. After all, the other party was just a child who had just graduated. She didn't hold out much hope. In the end, she didn't expect Tang Eryuan to be really talented in design. Everything she designed this time made her very satisfied.
She has to admit that working with Tang Eryuan is a very pleasant thing. She originally opened a design company, and naturally appreciates Tang Eryuan's talent from a professional point of view. She found that Tang Eryuan had a lovable personality and had a special temperament with her, so she couldn't help but like this child more and more.
Tang Eryuan also liked Mama Li very much, smiled at her from a distance, and then told the foreman, "Help me find a place, be quiet, there are four people in total, as for the dishes, you choose the restaurant The signature dishes here are ready, if not enough, I will add more when everyone arrives, and I will pay for it myself later, don't charge President Li."
"Okay, Mr. Tang, please, I'll arrange it." The foreman smiled and answered in a low voice.
Tang Eryuan nodded and walked towards Li Can's table. When he was about to walk there, he happened to see the profile of the person beside Li Can.
Tang Eryuan took a step, and the person next to Li Can was Li Xinran.
…Li Can and Li Xinran also came to see their parents?
Tang Eryuan's expression darkened, inexplicably wanted to turn around and leave, but his reason stopped him, he pursed his lips, and walked over with a smile on his face.
He smiled at Li's mother, "Auntie."
Mother Li looked at him happily, patted his hand, and asked softly, "Yuanyuan, are you coming to eat too?"
Well, Mama Li always follows Li Can and calls him Yuanyuan.
But Li's mother called Yuanyuan very nice, so Tang Eryuan did not refute, nodded with a smile, then turned to look at Li Can and Li Xinran, and said calmly, "Li President, Director Li, what a coincidence."
Li Xinran smiled gently, "Er Yuan, we meet again."
Li Can heard Tang Eryuan's unfamiliar name, looked up at Tang Eryuan, and his eyes were accusing.
I have been in bed so many times, why did I change back to President Li again?
Tang Eryuan was unmoved and didn't even look at him.
It was probably because Li Can stared at Tang Eryuan too clearly, Mama Li scolded him, "Don't bully Yuanyuan."
Li Can smiled mischievously: "How dare I."
Mother Li laughed twice and let him go temporarily.
Li Can looked up at Tang Eryuan and asked warmly, "Yuanyuan, didn't you say you wanted to come with the elders? Why are you the only one?"
Before Tang Eryuan could speak, Zhou Ze's voice sounded behind him: "Eryuan."
Li Xinran heard Zhou Ze's voice, but did not turn her head, but her body was obviously stiff, and the smile on her face disappeared.
Tang Eryuan looked at Zhou Ze, Li Xinran and Li Can.
Awkward, embarrassing.
He regrets it very much. He shouldn't have asked Li Can where the restaurant is good last night, and he shouldn't have invited the Zhou family's parents to dinner near Li's mother's company.
Zhou Ze saw Li Xinran, his eyes changed slightly, but he quickly returned to his calm appearance. It seemed that he really did what he said and had completely let go of Li Xinran.
Zhou Ze's father is standing behind him. He looks very similar to Zhou Ze, but his face has more wrinkles. He has been in shopping malls for a long time. To be dark, he also saw Li Xinran, and immediately snorted from his nostrils, pursed the corners of his mouth lightly, and turned his head in disdain.
He didn't like Li Xinran back then, and even more so now.
Zhou Ze's mother was in poor health. She was sitting in a wheelchair, pushed in front of her by Zhou Ze, and covered her legs with a thin blanket. Her hair was gray, her face was haggard, and her expression was not cold. Hot, seeing Tang Eryuan and Li Xinran didn't react at all.
Tang Eryuan walked over and greeted respectfully: "Uncle, aunt."
Mother Zhou nodded lightly, not like what Zhou Ze said, so eager to meet her son's future partner.
Instead, Father Zhou immediately showed a smile, which was different from the expression he had when facing Li Xinran, and said to Tang Eryuan with a full smile: "Er Yuan, you are a talented person, General Tang is really lucky."
"You're welcome." Tang Eryuan smiled modestly.
Father Zhou called and took care of Mother Li in the past. Everyone has been in the mall for a long time and has known each other for a long time. Li Can also stood up and greeted Father Zhou and Mother Zhou with a sullen face. .
Father Zhou looked at Li Can, then looked at Li Xinran condescendingly, and pointedly said: "Mr. Li is young and promising, and the Li family has a strict family style. Deliberately wanting to find a rich man who can reach the sky in one step, when there is an opportunity, Mr. Li must be careful when choosing friends."
Li Xinran's complexion turned pale, the water in her eyes rolled, and she bit her lower lip tightly without raising her head.
Li Can frowned in displeasure, just about to refute, Mama Li said lukewarmly, "We don't have to worry about Mr. Zhou about the Li family, my son's chosen friend has always been Every character is upright and noble, there will be no problem, I trust him."
Father Zhou snorted in displeasure, and finally closed it, without saying more, after all, the Li family is now more and more powerful, and it is not something he can offend.
Tang Eryuan smiled a little embarrassedly, and led them to the direction the foreman had just arranged, "Uncle, aunt, you go and sit first."
Zhou Ze is also full of embarrassment, but it is not easy to refute Zhou's father, but his eyes swept over Li Xinran's stiff back, intentionally or unintentionally, then raised his head and said softly to Tang Eryuan: "I will first Take your parents there."
"Okay." Tang Eryuan nodded.
Zhou Ze turned to Father Zhou and said, "Dad, let's go."
Zhou's father saw that Zhou Ze didn't react when he saw Li Xinran, he was finally satisfied, and followed Zhou Ze.
Tang Eryuan turned around and said to Mama Li, "Auntie, I'll go too, you can take it slowly."
"Go." Mama Li looked between Tang Eryuan and the Zhou family with inquiring eyes, but didn't ask any further questions.
Tang Eryuan turned her head and found that Li Xinran's eyes were a little red, looking a little pitiful.
Li Xinran raised her head and smiled reluctantly at him, then lowered her head again.
And Li Can... staring at Tang Eryuan with a livid face, if he had known that Tang Eryuan was going to eat with Zhou Ze's parents, he would definitely recommend the worst restaurant!
Tang Eryuan glared at him and turned away.
Mother Li looked at Tang Eryuan's back as she walked away, she opened her mouth before she could speak, she saw Tang Eryuan sitting down beside Zhou Ze, she couldn't help showing her heartache He held his chest and shifted his gaze to Li Can, glaring at Li Can in disgust.
Li Can: "???"
