When Yuan Yekuo was about to reach the restaurant, he received a call from Xie Ci, asking him where he was.

He said it was almost there.

When I hung up the phone, I had just arrived at the private room, where Xie Ci and Chen Shu were talking to a young man.

He is also a friend they grew up with, the president of another company, Xu Xiang.

Xu Xiang greeted Yuan Yekuo enthusiastically, "Why don't you drink with us now that you're married? This is too hard to ask!"

Yuan Yekuo smiled, took off his suit jacket and sat down.

As soon as I sat down, I noticed a petite figure sitting in the corner.

"Hello, Mr. Yuan." It was Xu Rui, Xu Xiang's cousin. Xu Rui stretched out her hand and shook hands with Yuan Yekuo. "What a coincidence, I met you here."

Yuan Yekuo shook hands with her calmly, turned his head and glanced at her to express his thanks where no one else could see.

Xie Ci felt aggrieved and whispered to him secretly.

"Don't blame me. I don't know how this person suddenly appeared."

Xie Ci still found it strange. It was clearly Xu Xiang who had made an appointment with the three grown men, so how did Xu Rui show up?

After all, she was the daughter of an old friend and also a business partner, so Yuan Yekuo was kind enough to give her face and handed the menu to Xu Rui, "Order whatever you want to eat."

Xu Rui took the order and looked at Yuan Yekuo's expression, "Boss Yuan, don't blame Boss Xie. I was having dinner here with a few clients just now, and my cousin called me over."

Xu Xiang quickly agreed, "Yes, I also think it's fun for everyone to eat together. Besides, Ruirui is going to cooperate with Aye, so you two can chat more later."

This statement inevitably sounded ambiguous, and Yuan Yekuo showed no expression, "You can go to the company to discuss work matters."

This is a bit disrespectful.

Xu Xiang laughed awkwardly and asked Xu Rui to order the food.

After ordering the dishes, Xu Rui called the waiter and asked for a few bottles of good wine. "Mr. Yuan, you gave me such an important job as a live broadcaster of cosmetics. I must thank you very much."

"You're welcome. I'm also doing this for the sake of your father and your cousin." Yuan Yekuo spoke frankly and drank his tea calmly.

Xu Rui's face froze.

As the daughter of the Xu family, she is pretty and outgoing, and most importantly, she has her own career. Wherever she goes, people always praise her for being so capable. But it seems that she can't get anything good from Yuan Yekuo.

"Then I have to thank Mr. Yuan even more. I will definitely do a good job in the live broadcast and strive to make our cosmetics business number one!" Xu Rui generously poured himself a glass of white wine, then filled a whole glass and handed it to Yuan Yekuo.

"I don't drink. I'll go home later..." Yuan Yekuo pursed his lips and didn't answer. "I have to help my kids with their homework when I get home."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was silence in the room.

Helping your kids with their homework?

It is really magical to hear such unfamiliar words coming out of the mouth of Yuan Yekuo, a big shot.

Several people present were single, including Xu Rui.

Her face froze for a moment, and she dug her nails into her palms where no one could see. "Mr. Yuan really takes care of the family and is so good to our two daughters!"

She gritted her teeth.

Of course she knew that Yuan Yekuo was married.

The wedding banquet of a big boss in Beijing invited distinguished guests from all walks of life. At that time, she was busy working abroad and could not make it back.

Of course, even if she rushed back, she didn't want to participate.

She didn't want the man she admired to be snatched away by a housewife who suddenly appeared from a corner.

Yes, she heard from others that Jiang Ling was born in a small place, her parents were fishmongers, and she was a divorced woman in her thirties with two daughters.

Listen.

Small place!

Fishmonger!

Divorced!

Two women!

Any one of these points would make Xu Rui feel that this woman is simply terrible, not to mention that so many buffs are stacked.

She even suspected that Jiang Ling had some leverage over Yuan Yekuo, otherwise why would he insist on marrying her?

Those two women were the children of Jiang Ling and another man, and Yuan Yekuo actually had to go home to tutor them?

Xu Rui felt that the way he looked at Yuan Yekuo was no different from how he looked at an alien.

Xu Xiang saw that the atmosphere was awkward and interrupted him immediately, "It's good to be married, because someone cares about you. It's not like us, who are single and wandering around everywhere every day. It's annoying to see you like that."

Yuan Yekuo glanced at everyone and said indifferently, "It's time for you guys to get married."

Xu Xiang's breath was choked. "Hey, forget it for me. But my cousin is at the prime age of youth. It's time for her to find a partner."

Xu Rui blushed slightly when she heard that. She glanced at Yuan Yekuo calmly and said, "It's a pity that the person I like is married. I have no choice but to continue to be single..."

Even Xie Ci and Chen Shuo could tell there was something wrong with these words.

"Okay, okay, let's eat. We'll talk about other things later." Xie Ci interrupted everyone and invited them to eat.

He was really afraid that if he continued to say this, Yuan Yekuo would just walk away.

After all, from his point of view, Yuan Yekuo is still very protective of his son.

Especially when the person being protected is Jiang Ling.

Yuan Yekuo always cares about everything related to Jiang Ling.

"Yes, let's eat, Mr. Yuan. The dishes we ordered today are all your favorites. By the way, I also brought you a small gift from abroad." Xu Rui turned around and took out a small gift box from his bag.

Yuan Yekuo glanced at it and didn't answer.

"It's not something expensive, it's just a tie. I saw it when I was shopping. It's blue and very suitable for Mr. Yuan." Seeing that he was puzzled, Xu Rui immediately explained.

Yuan Yekuo still didn't answer.

Xu Rui pursed his lips and stretched out his hand stubbornly, "Why, Mr. Yuan is afraid that Madam will misunderstand? Don't worry, it won't happen. This is not a private item, and I gave it to you in front of all the brothers. I believe that my sister-in-law will not say anything."

Xu Xiang also echoed, "Yes, Aye, this is a gift from my cousin. She mainly wants to thank you. Please accept it."

Yuan Yekuo nodded to Xiaoye behind him and said, "I remember you were in need of a tie. I'll give it to you."

Xiao Ye stepped forward and took it, thanking him politely, "Thank you, Mr. Xu, this color happens to be what I like."

Xu Rui watched helplessly as the gift he had carefully prepared was taken away by Yuan Yekuo's driver, and anger rose in his heart.

She took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and regained her cheerful demeanor when she spoke again, "That's right, what I gave you must be a good thing, Mr. Yuan, please don't take it personally, I'm just expressing my gratitude."

Yuan Yekuo nodded and said nothing more.

After dinner, they chatted for a while, and then Yuan Yekuo said goodbye and went home.

Several people went downstairs together and got into their cars.

Xu Rui suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "Look at my poor memory. My car has just been sent in for maintenance."

She turned to look at Xu Xiang, "Brother, can you take me there?"

Xu Xiang shook his head. "I'm not going the same way as you. I've made an appointment with another friend to go sing. How about you find someone else to take you there?"

Xu Rui looked at Yuan Yekuo hesitantly.

"Mr. Yuan, could you give me a ride?"
