Fog clears from Hong Kong Island

Chapter 163 Taking care of family members

Tong Tong arrived in Suzhou a week before the wedding to inspect the layout of the wedding venue and check the procedures on the wedding day.

The brothers in the circle had never seen Mu Jingchuan's precious wife, and they were clamoring to get together.

Mu Jingchuan originally wanted to find an opportunity to introduce Tong Tong to his friends, so naturally he would not refuse, so he asked in the group: "Are you all free tonight?" @everyone]

Song Chengli: [If you don’t have time, you must make time. Mr. Mu’s face must be given. 】

Zhou Zongjun: [I want to take my family with me. 】

Shen Yan: [Is the family member you are talking about Jingyuan or Jiangtang? @zhouzonjun】

Zhou Zongjun: [Both. 】

For the first time, Xi Jinbai also said: [I also want to take care of my family. 】

Shen Yan: [Okay, okay, then I will also bring my wife with me, so that no one will have a partner. 】

Song Chengli: [Are you ordering me? @深彦】

Shen Yan: [I'm sorry, brother, I was injured by mistake, hahahaha. 】

Mu Jingchuan: [Bring everyone who has a partner or a wife. I’ll treat you and spend as much as you like. 】

At noon, Xi Jinbai called Sang Yu and asked her, "Have you eaten?"

"Just ate." Sang Yu was still busy in the store.

"I'll take you to the club tonight." Xi Jinbai sat at her desk, playing with a blue hair tie that she left in the office that day.

"Friends with you?"

"Mu Jingchuan is treating us, and your good sisters will also be there."

"Oh, good."

Sang Yu knew that Tong Tong came to Su City yesterday, but they were both busy with their own affairs, so they hadn't made an appointment to meet yet.

Xi Jinbai reminded: "Come to the company and find me after your work in the afternoon, and I will take you there with me."

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, the tailor in the store joked about Sang Yu, "It's good to be young. Falling in love is sweet. There are endless things to say every day."

She smiled sheepishly.
-
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Sang Yu went directly to Xi's after finishing his work.

The receptionist knew her. Last time he saw Assistant Cheng coming downstairs to pick her up, and saw her leaving the company with Mr. Xi. Their relationship was obvious, and word spread within the company. It was said privately that Mr. Xi's thousand-year-old iron tree had finally blossomed.

Sang Yu's face became Xi's passport, and no one dared to stop him.

She reached the top floor unimpeded.

There is no one in the secretarial department, probably for a meeting.

The door to Xi Jinbai's office was open. Sang Yu thought he was inside, so he walked straight in.

Unexpectedly, a strange middle-aged man sat on the sofa.

He crossed his legs, held a document in his hand, and looked up at the door.

From the first moment they looked at each other, Sang Yu could feel the strong pressure on the other person, as well as the calm aura accumulated over the years.

He looked 60-70% similar to Xi Jinbai, and Sang Yu could conclude that the person in front of him was Xi Jinbai's father.

In comparison, Xi Jinbai's temperament is much gentler.

Sang Yu clenched his phone nervously, looking embarrassed. He had never imagined seeing his father in such a situation. He was unprepared and his mind went blank. He just wanted to find an excuse to leave here, "I'm sorry, I..."

Xi Minghan was sizing her up, then restrained his sharp eyes and asked, "Are you looking for Xi Jinbai?"

Sang Yu remained silent, not knowing whether he should answer or not.

Xi Minghan put down the documents in his hands and stood up, with a calm voice: "Just wait here."

When he passed by Sang Yu, he added, "Let Xi Jinbai take you to his house for dinner when you have time." Sang Yu nodded dully.

Xi Minghan stepped away, and the sound of footsteps gradually became distant.

Sang Yu stood there stunned for a while before he finally regained consciousness.

After waiting in the office for more than ten minutes, Xi Jinbai came back from the meeting.

Seeing that she was not in a good state, he asked: "What's wrong? You're absent-minded. Who made you unhappy?"

Sang Yu bit his lower lip lightly, "Your dad was here just now."

"My dad? What did he tell you?" Xi Jinbai held her hand and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, he just looks fierce. My mother has the final say in the family."

Sang Yu shook his head, "No, he didn't say anything."

Xi Jinbai hugged her and sat down on the sofa, "I didn't say anything. Why are you so distracted?"

"As soon as I came in, I saw him sitting here. I was not mentally prepared at all."

But his father just looked fierce and didn't speak fiercely at all.

"What did he tell you?"

Sang Yu was silent, "I asked you to take me back for dinner."

Xi Jinbai rubbed her hair and chuckled, "Then will you go back with me?"

Sang Yu hesitated, "Is it too fast?"

We've only been in love for more than a month, why are we meeting our parents now?
"Don't worry if you're not ready yet, take your time." Although Xi Jinbai wanted to take her home early, he still had to take her feelings into consideration, "My family likes you very much, so you don't have to worry. No need to be stressed.”

Sang Yu nodded.

The Xi family does seem to be different from other wealthy families. His mother is kind and approachable, without the airs of a wealthy lady. Although his father looks serious and cold, he is not unreasonable or condescending.

To be able to cultivate an heir with a gentle and noble personality like Jin Bai, the family tradition and tutoring must be good.
-
The two largest boxes in the club were booked by Mu Jingchuan.

One is a private room for dining, and the other is an entertainment hall for everyone to eat, drink and have fun.

At half past six, people started arriving one after another.

There were nearly twenty people in total, including two couples, four couples, and the rest were single.

Today is Mu Jingchuan and Tong Tong's home court, and the topic naturally revolves around them, with a group of people gossiping and teasing.

At the dinner table, someone asked how they met.

Mu Jingchuan answered generously: "That time I went for a ride in Brother Jin Bai's new sports car on Hong Kong Island, and accidentally chased her. We had a quarrel at that time, so we can't be acquainted without fighting."

Shen Yan teased: "Are you chasing someone behind you or someone else?"

Song Chengli: "So you crashed Mr. Xi's car? You are brave enough."

Mu Jingchuan glanced at Xi Jinbai and said solemnly, "He has to thank me."

Zhou Zongjun sneered, "Thank you for hitting his car?"

"What do you know?" Mu Jingchuan began to complain: "At that time, Tong Tong sprained her foot and I took her to the hospital. Brother Jin Bai took the time to rush over when he knew that I had crashed the car. I was so touched. I later found out that he was not at all My son is not here to care about me, but to see Sang Yu. Bai is so moved!"

This statement made the whole table laugh.

Sang Yu paused slightly while picking up the vegetables and turned his head to look at Xi Jinbai for confirmation, "Huh?"

Wasn't that an accident?
He was exposed in public, but his expression remained unchanged. He raised his hand to pick up a shrimp for Sang Yu, and remained silent, his acquiescence.

Shen Yan laughed: "Does Xi Jinbai seem to care about you?"

Mu Jingchuan had already recognized it, "Brother Jin Bai, tell me, when you two get married, will Tong Tong and I have to sit at the main table?"

He is a great assister and a great contributor.

Zhou Zongjun followed up and said, "Jiang Tang and I also want to sit at the main table."
