However, this situation is still going on. Both Lu Tingshen and Ji Yan are busy with each other, and neither of them has actively contacted each other.

But outsiders are fascinated, onlookers are clear, the two seem to be living in peace, but the Lu family senses that there seems to be something wrong with them.

That afternoon, when Lu Tingshen returned to the office after the meeting, he received a call from his mother.

"Is your son busy?" Mother Lu asked enthusiastically.

Normally, at this time, except for urgent matters, Lu Tingshen would hardly receive calls from his family.

He felt a little strange, but he still responded lightly: "I was in a meeting just now, what's the matter, Mom?"

Lu's mother replied in a mocking tone: "You haven't come back to see me and your dad for many days, are you coming over for dinner tonight?"

Hearing this, Lu Ting fell into a brief silence.

Recalling the last time I took the initiative to call Ji Yan, it has been ten days since now, and they were like strangers during this period, without any contact.

Seeing that Lu Tingshen didn't speak, Lu's mother decided to help him make a decision: "Then it's settled. I'll ask Aunt Song to cook more dishes in the evening. You two should come back early!"

"Mom, I'm going to work overtime at the company tonight..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Tingshen realized that his mother had hung up the phone.

At the same time, just as Ji Yan handed in the draft designed by working overtime yesterday, he saw someone calling on his mobile phone.

Realizing that it was Mother Lu's call, Ji Yan had to answer it, so she had to go to the bathroom with her phone.

Hiding in the cubicle, she lowered her voice and asked, "Mom, why did you call me suddenly? Is there something wrong?"

"Yeah, Mom is so bored at home alone, you come back to eat with me at night?" Mother Lu also had a kind tone in front of Ji Yan.

Hearing her request, Ji Yan didn't know how to reply for a moment.

After all, these days, she and Lu Tingshen haven't had any communication and communication. Now that Lu's mother wants them to go back to the old house for dinner, she really doesn't know how to deal with it.

"Mom, I've been very busy with work recently, or we can talk about it on the weekend." Ji Yan could only think of a way to delay.

Anyway, it's only Monday, and she still has a few days left, and she can make excuses when the weekend really comes.

However, Mother Lu seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and gently persuaded: "No matter how busy you are at work, you have to rest. Besides, Mom is not feeling well recently, so I just want you to come over and help me take a look."

Using this as a reason, Ji Yan really had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.

"Okay then, I'll ask Tingshen later if he has time. If he's too busy, I'll come and see you alone." Ji Yan said reluctantly.

But she hoped that Lu Tingshen would not go back, because as long as she didn't meet this man, she hoped to deal with the Lu family by herself.

After hanging up the phone, Ji Yan felt a little irritable, and was about to go back to her desk to continue working, when she heard the phone ringing again before she walked out of the bathroom.

When she found out that it was Lu Tingshen's call, she was hesitant to answer it. Thinking about Lu's mother, she decided to ask him about his plans.

Back in the cubicle, Ji Yan answered the call.

Lu Tingshen's voice on the other end was very cold, and he asked in a neutral tone, "Are you at work? I have something to tell you."

Ji Yan was quite surprised by his words, so he asked inexplicably: "Yes, I'm at work, what's the matter with you calling me for the first time?"

"My mother called just now and asked us to go back to the old house for dinner at night. You must be there anyway."

Lu Tingshen's tone was rigid, as if he was reading a document, and he couldn't even hear any emotions.

Hearing his stern voice, Ji Yan was very disgusted with such a voice, and his first reaction was to refuse.

But thinking about it, she still didn't reveal her true feelings, and responded calmly: "I already know, and she also called me."

After the words fell, Lu Ting couldn't help feeling a little surprised.

He didn't expect his mother to do both. It seemed that letting them go back was not as simple as eating.

After a pause for a few seconds, Lu Tingshen changed his tone and said, "That's it, let's talk on the phone first."

"What do you want to talk about?" Ji Yan asked cautiously.

Lu Tingshen's words were still cold, expressing his thoughts directly.

"My mother may have noticed that we were estranged when we came in. She probably called us back to talk because she wanted to eat, so you have to be mentally prepared." Lu Ting explained in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Ji Yan finally understood why Mother Lu suddenly called them.

"Understood, I will go there early." She replied casually.

Lu Ting was not satisfied with her inconsiderate performance, and warned in a cold voice: "Remember not to be late, all you need to do today is to go back to the old house with me, don't let them worry, if they say anything Just do what they say."

Lu Tingshen's commanding tone also displeased Ji Yan, she suppressed her annoyance and asked, "You seem to be ordering me?"

There was no communication for more than ten days, and Ji Yan didn't intend to inquire about the rumored model, but was entangled in the matter of going back to the old house.

Lu Ting heard her question deeply, and replied indifferently: "Whatever you think, you should know that if you don't cooperate with me, it will be of no benefit to you or the Ji family."

This is clearly threatening her!
Immediately, Ji Yan didn't breathe out, and his mind was full of when the contract between them would come to an end.

But in the end she calmed down and agreed calmly: "Well, at six o'clock in the evening, I will wait for you at the intersection of the old house's boulevard."

After the conversation between the two of them ended, Ji Yan returned to the desk, staring at the computer screen and began to lose his mind.

It's only past three o'clock, and she hopes that time will pass slowly so that she can see Lu Tingshen later.

After all, the two had nothing to say when they met.

They appeared in the old house together that night, and when they entered the door, they looked like a loving couple holding hands.

Lu's mother sat on the sofa and watched them enter the door, and quickly got up to say hello: "Come in quickly, dinner will be ready soon, I will go to the study to call your father."

Lu Ting put his arm around Ji Yan's waist pretendingly, with a gentle smile on his face.

"Mom, sit still. I'll go to the study and ask Dad to go downstairs."

After the words fell, Lu Ting approached Ji Yan affectionately and whispered something in his ear, changed his shoes and walked up the stairs quickly.

Seeing that the young couple's relationship is actually pretty good, Lu's mother was relieved, so she called Ji Yan over to chat.

It's just that only Ji Yan knew what Lu Tingshen said in her ear just now.

"You'd better not screw up your performance, otherwise it won't do anyone any good."

Thinking of this sentence, Ji Yan who was sitting on the sofa couldn't help gnashing his teeth.

Threatening her on the phone wasn't enough, Lu Tingshen had just entered the old house, and he didn't forget to give himself a blow.

Next, before dinner, Lu's mother has been patiently doing ideological work for Ji Yan, and at the same time talking about her various experiences in getting along with husband and wife.

After Lu Tingshen entered the study, he also didn't call his father downstairs smoothly, but listened to Lu's father's endless nagging, persuading him to manage his marriage well.

Obviously, this was discussed by the old couple long before they came back.

Fortunately, the two had an agreement first, and when the two left that night, neither of them showed any flaws in front of their family members, so this trip was perfunctory.

The next morning, because yesterday's incident affected Ji Yan, it was obvious that she was not concentrating at work today.

Drawing with her chin resting on her hand, she stared at the computer screen feeling drowsy.

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from beside him.

"Did you go to the nightclub last night?"

Hearing that it was Ji Rou who came over to talk to her, Ji Yan turned her face away and argued: "You like to go to that kind of place, don't take me with you."

"Why are you so sensitive? I just see that your mental state is not good." Ji Rou sneered disapprovingly.

Seeing that Ji Rou came here with other plans, Ji Yan raised her vigilance and asked, "Then why are you looking for me all of a sudden?"

In the company, the reason why she was isolated by colleagues in the department was because of Ji Rou's fanning the flames.

When it comes to gossip, this woman is invincible.

There is a hypocritical smile on Jirou's small face, she looks at Qiyan's face, and expresses her concern hypocritically: "I am thinking about you, I am afraid that you are too tired from work, so I find something for you to have a rest. "

As she spoke, she opened the folder under her arm, and there were not documents, but a few photos.

"Look for yourself, is the person in the photo quite familiar? Thanks to my sharp eyesight at the banquet two days ago, it wouldn't have been so vivid for you to sneak a photo."

Ji Rou puts the folder on the table and winks at Ji Yan.

At this time, Ji Yan saw that a man and a woman in the photo were Lu Tingshen and the rumored mixed-race model.

Although the two don't look that close, the gesture of toasting and drinking is obviously acquainted with each other.

For a moment, Ji Yan seemed to have eaten a fly, and felt a little aggrieved inexplicably, but he couldn't explain why.

She doesn't want to see these photos at all, but she has to pretend to be calm in front of Jirou.

"It's just a photo, what do you want to say?" Ji Yan asked dismissively, and at the same time acted calmly: "Since it's a banquet, what does it matter if the guests have a glass of wine?"

But Jirou thinks that she is deceiving herself and others, deliberately standing up in front of her.

"Forget it, I don't believe you are so indifferent. It has been reported in the entertainment news. Are you still pretending to be stupid?" Ji Rou gloated.

At this time, Ji Yan is indeed hiding her true emotions, but even if she feels uncomfortable, she will not show it in front of Ji Rou.

"You don't have to worry about my affairs, please take these photos away."

Ji Yan said in a cold voice, and pushed the folder with disgust.

Although Ji Rou is still not reconciled and is still telling Ji Yan what she has investigated, she remains unmoved.
