My friend's uncle took a fancy to me

At 5:30 in the afternoon, Chen Xin designed the reception room.

It has been almost a month since Lu Xiaoqiao was transferred from the sales department to the design department.

The time was not long, but for her it was the happiest time since she graduated and started working. The only downside was that the man sitting in front of her was looking for trouble.

"Mr. Tang, I've revised the design eight times! You always say the colors are wrong. How about we go to the sales department to look at the finished product's design and see if there's anything you're looking for?"

Tang Qian sat on a chair in the reception room, crossed his legs, and squinted his eyes at the woman in front of him.

The investigators said she was a country girl from the countryside, but she didn't look like one. How could a country girl be so white?

However, at the moment, apart from being pretty and having fair skin, there is nothing special about her.

"I want a custom order. Why does Miss Lu always try to sell me finished goods? Are you worried I don't have the money? Jiang Heng's orders can be customized, so why can't we at Far East do the same?"

Lu Xiaoqiao was speechless. She felt that this person was just looking for trouble.

From the moment she came in, she had to compete with Jiang Heng in everything. A few days ago, Chen Xin came to say that she was in a hurry for an order and she stayed up all night to complete the design draft.

After revising ten design drawings again and again, I finally chose a satisfactory design. But now, because of a color issue, I have been revising it from 2:30 in the afternoon until now, when it is almost time to get off work, and I still haven't decided on it.

But who can blame him for being God? Moreover, this God has standing silver hair and is wearing a black T-shirt with a skull pattern all over it, which makes him look like someone who is not to be messed with.

Taking a deep breath, he said, "Mr. Tang, you misunderstood me. That's not what I meant. How about this? I'll list all the color pictures together, and you can just choose one from them."

Tang Qian stared at her for a moment. Ha! She has a good temper.

I deliberately made things difficult for her for a long time but she didn't show any unhappy expression.

"Forget it, let's stop here for today. My eyes are hurting from reading. I'll think about it when I get back."

"Okay, Mr. Tang, please think about it and tell me."

Seeing Tang Qian stand up, Lu Xiaoqiao also quickly stood up and walked him to the door.

If it was a normal day when he got off work late, it wouldn't be a big deal, she would be willing to stay with him until any hour, but she really had something to do tonight.

Lin Lin sprained her ankle a few days ago and was resting at home. She called Lu Xiaoqiao and acted coquettishly, saying that she wanted to eat the mustard prawns she made, so she made an appointment to go to her house to make it for her today.

Lu Xiaoqiao took Lin Ziyang's car to the Zhou family's old house. Because it was rush hour after get off work, it was almost seven o'clock when they arrived at the old house.

This was not her first time here, but every time she came, she was still shocked by this old house. It was nestled between mountains and water, and its geographical location was unique, making it worthy of being the home of the richest man.

Lu Xiaoqiao was calculating in his mind whether he could afford the place where the stone lions were squatting at the gate with his lifetime salary.

After driving the car into the yard and parking it in the garage, the two walked out of the garage and saw a black Cullinan parked under the osmanthus tree in the yard.

"My uncle is back with his car."

Lu Xiaoqiao raised her eyes and took a look. She didn't know much about cars, but the appearance of the car seemed to suit its owner very well.

The two of them went up the stairs and just entered the inner door, they saw Lin Lin standing on one leg in the hallway waiting for them.

"What are you standing here for? Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to take good care of yourself and develop chronic illness?" Lu Xiaoqiao blamed her, but quickly supported her and walked her to the sofa to sit down.

"Xiao Qiao, you're finally here. I've told her several times, but she wouldn't listen. She insisted on standing there waiting for you. If she doesn't have this mustard shrimp today, she probably won't be able to sleep well."

Zhao Yaqin walked out of the kitchen with a smile on her face and a fruit plate in her hand. Although she is nearly seventy years old, she looks much younger than her peers because she takes good care of herself.

"Grandma, why are you like this? I miss Xiao Qiao."

Zhao Yaqin smiled and agreed: "Okay, okay, I'm thinking about Xiao Qiao, not Da Xia."

"grandmother!"

Like Lin Lin, Lu Xiaoqiao calls Zhao Yaqin "Grandma".

"Are you tired, Xiao Qiao? Sit down and take a rest. You rushed here right after get off work!"

Zhao Yaqin likes this young and energetic girl very much. She is beautiful and kind-hearted.

I originally wanted to match her up with Lin Ziyang, but when the girl graduated, Lin Ziyang had a girlfriend and said that he only treated the girl as a sister.

"It's okay, grandma. I'm not tired. I'll go to the kitchen first."

After saying that, he walked towards the kitchen.

Aunt Zhang in the kitchen saw Lu Xiaoqiao come in and said, "Xiaoqiao, I put the shrimp in the sink. I didn't process it because it wasn't fresh when I cooked it. Tell me what to do. You make the sauce and I'll process the shrimp. This way it'll be faster."

Lu Xiaoqiao agreed and took a look at the shrimp in the pond. "Aunt Zhang, these shrimp are so big. Cut open the back and belly, don't cut them through. That way they will be more flavorful and easier to peel when you eat them."

The two were busy in the kitchen, and Zhao Yaqin also went to help them for a while. When the dishes were ready and brought to the table outside, they saw Zhou's father and Zhou Qizhen, father and son, walking down from the second floor.

From the moment Zhao Yaqin saw Zhou Qizhen, she stood there uncomfortably, and her tone of voice revealed a hint of caution and flattery.

"Well, Qi Zheng, your uncle Liu sent a wild big yellow flower. You love steamed fish the most, so stay here for dinner!"

Zhou Qizheng only glanced at her and replied in a cold tone, "No need."

As soon as he finished speaking, a graceful figure walked out of the kitchen: "Lin Lin, the mustard prawns you've been craving are ready."

The tall figure paused slightly, surprised by Lu Xiaoqiao's sudden appearance.

But what was said could not be taken back.

Father Zhou looked at Zhao Yaqin's hurt expression, sighed slightly, and turned to Zhou Qizheng and said, "Haven't you eaten yet? Stay here and eat! It's just right that after dinner, we can take Xiao Qiao back on the way."

Seeing that Zhou Qizhen didn't say anything else, I knew that he agreed.

Zhao Yaqin happily arranged for everyone to sit at the table, and she went to ask the kitchen to cook two more dishes.

At the round dining table, Zhou's father sat in the main seat, Zhao Yaqin and Zhou Qizheng sat on his left and right, Lin Ziyang sat next to Zhou Qizheng, and then sat Lin Lin and Lu Xiaoqiao.

Lu Xiaoqiao learned from Lin Lin very early on that Zhao Yaqin was not her biological grandmother, but her grandfather's later wife.

However, judging from the fact that Zhou Qizhen was invited to dinner just now, except for him who treated his stepmother coldly, the rest of the family got along like ordinary relatives.

Lu Xiaoqiao felt that talking was probably not allowed at the dinner table in wealthy families, and since no one was talking at the moment, she just focused on eating.

But she didn't know that across from her, a pair of burning gazes were cast at her from time to time.

The last time the two met was at the Haicheng Exhibition.

Zhou Qizhen was busy with the acquisition and the opening of the commercial center right after he came back from Haicheng. He also went on several business trips in between, so we had no chance to meet. I didn't expect to meet him by chance today.

Zhao Yaqin's mind was completely on Zhou Qizhen. No matter how much she tried to persuade him in the past, he would never stay for dinner except during festivals. But today, she was very easygoing and stayed for the first time.

I don’t know if it was my illusion, but I always felt that his eyes kept glancing at Lu Xiaoqiao who was sitting next to her.

Maybe I'm overthinking it!

After all, there is a big difference between the two people in terms of status and age.

Once suspicion arises in one's heart, one will observe more carefully.

She naturally understood a little about his character. Even though he hid his feelings very well, it was not difficult to guess his feelings when she considered his agreement to stay for dinner tonight.

Zhao Yaqin was a little excited about this discovery.

If I help him keep the girl he likes by his side, then he won't hate her so much, and maybe he can still call her aunt like before.

If he is really interested in this girl, I will help him win her over no matter what.

After finishing their meal, they chatted in the living room for a while. It was almost nine o'clock, and because it was too late, Lu Xiaoqiao got up and said goodbye.
