C540 I'll Give It a Try Then
Sure enough, Lin Xihao's expression became slightly better. "He sang for you. What's the matter?"
Ye Siqi laughed dryly. "Well, actually, we made a bet. Whoever loses the bet will have to go on stage and sing a song. In the end, he lost, so he had to admit defeat. "
Lin Xihao looked at her suspiciously. "Bet? What kind of bet?"
"Actually, it has something to do with my field of expertise. He ordered some soup. There are a lot of ingredients inside. He said if I only drank a mouthful of soup, If I could guess all the ingredients inside, I would win. If not, he would win. And the result is. . . I won. " Ye Siqi's tone was light, as if she did not understand what he was angry about.
"Is that really all?" Lin Xihao looked at her suspiciously, but he still did not believe her.
"Of course it's just like that!" Ye Siqi seemed to sigh helplessly, "There is really nothing between us!"
"He invited you to dinner, why didn't you tell me in advance? Also, if it's just the relationship between the employee and the boss, why would he invite you to such a high-class restaurant for a meal?" Lin Xihao was like a seasoned detective, not giving up a single clue.
Ye Siqi did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Inviting me to a meal was decided by him at the last minute. I did not have the time to tell you before you went out. . . " She suddenly thought of something and stared at him with a burning gaze. Her tone also became serious, "Hubby, didn't you participate in the seminar? Why are you at the Revolving Restaurant? "
Lin Xihao's heart sank. Damn it, he rushed in front of her in anger and actually forgot about this matter!
At this moment, the situation changed drastically. Lin Xihao was originally in an advantageous position, but now he was at a disadvantage. He held the steering wheel with both hands, and his back felt cold. His thin lips moved, and the truth almost slipped out of his mouth. A pleasant phone rang, and he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
He pressed the answer button, and a gentle female voice came from the other end of the phone. "Xihao, bring Niuniu back tomorrow. Mom hasn't seen you guys for a long time. I miss you guys. "
"Okay, I got it. " Lin Xihao chatted with his mother Jiaang Ruolan for a while and ended the call.
The wagon was silent. The conversation just now was interrupted by a phone call. Lin Xihao's courage, which he had worked so hard to muster, was also worn down. He gritted his teeth and said slowly, "The meeting is over. I will go to the restaurant with a colleague to eat. "
Ye Siqi's eyes hid a touch of sadness and she felt a little upset in her heart. If she did not see him and Bai Meiwei sitting together, she would really believe what he said. However, she had also lied to him. How could she blame him for lying to her?
Shao Tiancheng was right. Her enemy was not Lin Xihao, but Bai Meiwei. At least, her plan with Shao Tiancheng had succeeded. They had ruined Bai Meiwei's date. That woman must have been so angry that she jumped up and down.
Thinking of her flustered and exasperated appearance, Ye Siqi's mood was slightly better. She silently grinned and said, "Let's go home. Niuniu is alone at home. "
He slowly spat out a word, "Okay. "
Jiaang Ruolan was Lin Xihao's mother, a very powerful woman. Lin Xihao's father passed away when he was in high school. She took out all her savings and used her own strength to open a small restaurant for her son to study. After more than ten years, the small restaurant became a big restaurant and she also became a famous local female expert.
When Ye Siqi and Lin Xihao got married, she was very happy. She had always wanted to train Ye Siqi to become the successor of the restaurant. Unfortunately, Ye Siqi had always wanted to marry and teach her son. So she gave up on that idea and planned to pass the restaurant to her grandson. In the end, after Ye Siqi gave birth to a daughter. . . She had never been pregnant again. The grandson she had been looking forward to for many years was far away. Her attitude towards Ye Siqi also became cold.
Jiaang Ruolan lived on the other side of the city. Lin Xihao and Ye Siqi would bring their child home to visit her every month. Every time they went home, Ye Siqi would buy her many gifts and help her do housework to make her happy. But she did not have a good expression on her face towards Ye Siqi.
Jiaang Ruolan lived alone in a high-end residential area and hired a nanny at home. Every time her son and daughter-in-law went home, she would give the nanny a leave of absence. Firstly, there were no outsiders present and it was easy to talk to the people in her house. Secondly, she also had the intention of deliberately making things difficult for Ye Siqi. She would buy vegetables, cook, and wash the bowls. These tasks were all given to her.
Outside the door, Lin Xihao held Ye Siqi's gift for his mother with both hands. Ye Siqi held the vegetables and fruits in her hands. Niuniu obediently pressed the doorbell.
"Xihao, Niuniu, you are here. Come in quickly. " Jiaang Ruolan was wearing a red turtleneck sweater and a plain cape. There was light makeup on her face. Although she was more than 50 years old, due to the maintenance these few years, she seemed to be younger and her gestures were full of nobility.
She welcomed her son and granddaughter into the room with a smile on her face, treating Ye Siqi as if she did not exist.
Lin Xihao knew that his mother had a problem with Siqi, so whenever there was an opportunity, he would praise Siqi in front of her. He smiled and said, "Mom, Siqi liked a dress a few days ago and felt that it was suitable for you. She specially bought it for you. Do you want to try it?"
Jiaang Ruolan glanced at Ye Siqi who was twisting vegetables and fruits and said coldly, "Why did you buy those messy things again? It's not like I don't have money. What do I lack? I will buy it myself. "
Ye Siqi's smile was still on her face as she said gently, "Mom, that dress was designed elegantly and generously. It can highlight your temperament. When I was shopping, I saw it at first glance and felt that only you can wear that kind of feeling. "
"Mom, Siqi has good intentions. You can give it a try and let us admire it. " Lin Xihao handed one of the bags to Jiaang Ruolan.
"Grandma, you can give it a try. I want to see it too!" Niuniu threw herself into her arms and hugged her like a spoiled child. Her pair of beautiful big eyes were flashing with anticipation.
Although Jiaang Ruolan hoped that Ye Siqi would have a boy, it did not mean that she did not like Niuniu. On the contrary, she really liked the smart and sensible Niuniu. Facing the innocent eyes of the child, she could not bear to reject and said helplessly, "Alright, alright. Since both father and daughter said so, then I will give it a try. "
She carried her clothes into the bedroom and Lin Xihao turned his head and looked at Ye Siqi apologetically. Ye Siqi smiled at him silently and pinched her things into the kitchen.0
Ye Siqi only bought her clothes twice. The first time was when Niuniu was three years old and Jiaang Ruolan's attitude towards Ye Siqi was already cold. She criticized Ye Siqi for not having good taste and the clothes she bought were like the goods on the street and could not be worn out to meet people. The second time was this time.
Jiaang Ruolan took out a skirt from the bag. The hanging plate on it had not been removed and the price was five digits. It was Chanel's newly listed autumn winter clothing. Even she herself was unwilling to buy such expensive clothes. There were only two or three pieces to support the scene.
For a moment, her mood was somewhat complicated.
After changing his clothes, he stood in front of the mirror and looked at the woman in the mirror. She was elegant and generous. Just as Ye Siqi had said, she was very suitable for her.
