Fog clears from Hong Kong Island

Chapter 168: As incomprehensible as his biological father
Eight to nine o'clock is the rush hour for work, and the road is jammed for more than ten minutes.

While waiting for the light to turn green at the fork in the road, Xi Jinbai asked, "Shall I take you home or to the store?"

Sang Yu turned on his phone and looked at the time, "Won't I be late if you take me to the company again?"

Xi Jinbai put his hands on the steering wheel, with a casual smile at the end of his eyes, "I'm already late, I don't care about this little time."

"Does the boss deduct wages for being late?"

“My boss doesn’t give me a salary increase even if I work overtime.”

"That's true, it's not that easy to be a boss." Sang Yu said with a smile: "You'd better send me to the store, finish your work early and go back early in the afternoon."

"it is good."

Xi Jinbai drove her to the entrance of the embroidery workshop.

Sang Yu unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car.

She was so careless that she left her cell phone on her seat without even realizing it.

Xi Jinbai saw the car just starting. He stopped the car again, picked up the phone and gave it to her.

Sang Yu was talking to several chefs in the store.

Xi Jinbai strode over and said, "Yu Yu, I didn't take my phone."

Sang Yu turned his head and said "Ah" in surprise, "I thought I put it in my bag."

"Xiao Yu, is this your boyfriend?" an embroiderer in charge of embroidery asked.

The driver had brought Sang Yu here before. Xi Jinbai had never been here before, so no one in the store had seen her boyfriend.

Sang Yu nodded generously, "Yes."

Xi Jinbai nodded slightly in greeting, reminded her to put her phone away and left.

As soon as he left, several masters started chatting on this topic.

"Xiao Yu, your boyfriend is so handsome. You two look great together."

"His temperament is extraordinary. His family conditions are very good."

"How long have you been dating? How did you meet?"

Min Jiangyue is in a good mood today, arranging flowers in the living room very leisurely and elegantly, holding scissors to trim the branches and leaves on the platycodon, and the jade bracelet on her wrist is gently swaying.

It's the one Sang Yu gave yesterday.

There were dozens of bracelets in her jewelry cabinet, of various styles and rare materials, but this one suited her best.

To be precise, the person giving the gift is someone she likes.

Aunt Mei smiled and praised: "My wife's flower arrangement skills are very good."

"Really?" Min Jiangyue came closer and smelled the fragrance of the flowers, and the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously.

"Of course, the flower branches are scattered at different heights, and the sense of layering and three-dimensionality are immediately apparent."

Aunt Mei knew the skills of flower arrangement, so she could naturally praise her to the point, which won Min Jiangyue's heart.

"By the way, madam, you have a charity dinner to attend tonight."

"Charity dinner? I really forgot if you didn't tell me." Min Jiangyue put down the scissors and took out a wet tissue to wipe his hands. "Xi Minghan has a dinner party tonight, and I don't want to go alone."

There was no time when the ladies in the circle met who didn't openly and secretly want her to set up connections and introduce their daughters and nieces to Xi Jinbai.

She declined many times, but some people still refused to give up.

Although there are rumors on the Internet, they have not been publicly confirmed, and many people do not believe it.

It seems that we need to find an opportunity to make it public. Thinking of this, Min Jiangyue said: "Aunt Mei, help me get the phone."
-
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Xi Jinbai finished her work on time. She unplugged the charging cable of her mobile phone and the screen turned on. She saw the WeChat message sent to her by Sang Yu, [Aunt asked me to accompany her to the dinner. I can't have dinner with you. . 】

Xi Jinbai laughed and replied with two words: [Address. 】

Sang Yu: [Are you coming over? 】

Xi Jinbai: [I will pick you up when it ends. 】

Sang Yu: [Auntie said she would ask the driver to take me back. 】

Xi Jinbai: [Okay, come back early and don’t forget your boyfriend. 】

Sang Yu couldn't help but curl his lips.

Falling into the eyes of Min Jiangyue who was standing aside, she asked with a smile: "Xi Jinbai?"

Sang Yu said "hmm" and turned off the screen of his phone and put it back in his bag.

The Rolls-Royce smoothly weaved through the traffic and headed to the dinner venue.

Min Jiangyue leaned on the car door with her elbows and said thoughtfully: "Tell me the truth to auntie, is it boring to be in love with him?"

"Huh?" Sang Yu didn't expect her to ask that, so he immediately denied it, "No, it's not boring."

Min Jiangyue obviously didn't believe it. How could she not understand that Xi Jinbai was born to her? Anyone who is emotionally enlightened doesn't have to have a girlfriend at the age of thirty.

"He's a straight man. What does he know? He knows how to work every day. He's like a robot. He doesn't know how to take care of people and doesn't know how to be romantic. His face is all he can see. He's as confused as his own father."

Sang Yu wanted to say, Auntie, you know nothing about your son.

He has a lot of tricks up his sleeve, he occasionally gets romantic, and he talks a lot of sweet things, especially in bed.

Min Jiangyue originally wanted to complain, but then he thought about it. He was afraid of scaring his daughter-in-law away, so he still had to say good things about Xi Jinbai, "Speaking of which, although he is a bit straight and unlikable, auntie promises you, He definitely really likes you, I have seen it all these years."

The company was so busy at that time, but he still found time to travel back and forth to Paris for more than 20 hours. This led to disordered work and rest, irregular meals three times a day, and he was hospitalized several times due to gastroenteritis.

Naturally, you can't tell Sang Yu these words, otherwise she will be mentally burdened.

Min Jiangyue thought of another thing, thought for a moment, and decided to explain it to her.

"Do you know Ling'an Temple on Hong Kong Island?"

The topic suddenly changed, and Sang Yu responded for two seconds, "Yeah, I know."

She and her mother even went to burn incense together.

"The abbot there is very effective in interpreting fortunes. Three or four years ago, I went to the abbot to ask about Xi Jinbai's marriage. The abbot said that his good match was the pearl of Hong Kong Island. I misunderstood, so I came up with the relationship with the Ji family. "Xi Jinbai never agreed to the marriage from beginning to end." Min Jiangyue couldn't help but sigh, "Now that I think about it, it's really God's will."

All the abbot's predictions came true.

"The Pearl of Hong Kong Island?" Sang Yu whispered softly.

The so-called marriage is actually like this.

Min Jiangyue knew that she didn't like the Ji family and was afraid of arousing her sadness, so he quickly changed the subject, "But these are not important anymore. What is important is that you two like each other and are in love. I am really happy to be together." ”

With the current status of the Xi family, there is no need for marriage. As long as Xi Jinbai is happy, she, the mother, will not interfere with who he is with.

Sang Yu nodded and thought no more.
-
The dinner starts at seven o'clock.

Min Jiangyue and Sang Yu entered the venue ten minutes early.

For an occasion like a charity appreciation banquet, you don’t need to dress up in a grand manner, just be elegant and decent.

Min Jiangyue is wearing a black suit skirt with a sapphire brooch on her chest. The style of the dress is simple, but the fabric and tailoring are extremely fine, fitting the body shape perfectly. She wears a pair of shiny crocodile pattern high heels, which is low-key luxury and has an outstanding temperament.

Sang Yu was wearing a black and white dress, with two extremely thin silver shoulder straps hanging on her shoulders, and a pearl necklace around her neck. Her hair was tied high with a black hairband, revealing her full forehead. and exquisite facial features, like a beautiful black swan.
