5 - Is this the capriciousness of rich people?
Every time? !
Cheng Li's mind immediately recalled the scene that happened in the bar. She was so excited when she scolded Xu Jiheng that she raised her foot and threw her high heels out, but Rong Qi caught her firmly.
And she was very rude and turned around and ran away.
There was silence for a moment.
Cheng Li coughed lightly, smiled awkwardly, and pretended to suddenly realize: "Could it be you who was in the bar that day? Why did it look so familiar to me? The lighting in the bar was not very good, so I didn't see clearly."
Yes, it's all because of the poor lighting in the bar.
Rong Qi put his hands in his pockets and stood slouched, looking lazy and casual. After hearing this, he slightly twitched the corner of his mouth: "Me too, I didn't recognize it was you until I saw your shoes again." It's broken."
He didn't forget to glance at the broken slippers. His look meant, "I can't help but face such an embarrassing thing twice in a row, even if I don't recognize you."
Cheng Li felt that we couldn't talk any more today, and if we kept talking, she wouldn't have to hang out on this street anymore.
She bent down to pick up her broken shoes and said goodbye to him in a hurry.
Under Grandma Xiang's concerned gaze, she pulled Ms. Ling and left in embarrassment.
On the way back, Ms. Ling breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Oh, it was so embarrassing just now..."
Under Cheng Li's gaze, Ms. Ling quickly changed her words: "It's so embarrassing."
Cheng Li was speechless after hearing this. expression.
There is maternal love, but not much.
Ling Shuanghua quickly took the initiative to change the subject: "When Rong Qi saw me just now, he immediately recognized me as his high school teacher and greeted me very politely. I didn't expect that he could still remember his high school teacher now that he is so promising."
For Rong Qi , Ling Shuanghua naturally heard about Qi's deeds.
After all, even in a school like No. 1 Middle School, students like Rong Qi are considered super honorary alumni.
It is said that on the anniversary of No. 1 Middle School this year, the principal plans to invite these outstanding alumni back to the school.
Cheng Li was really tired after hearing the last part: "You are so excited to see other people's children again."
People like Rong Qi have always belonged to other people's families since they were young, which their parents say are jealous and annoying . child.
"Are you jealous?" Ling Shuanghua glanced at her and comforted her calmly: "Compared with Rong Qi, you are not completely without merits."
Cheng Li laughed when she heard this. She actually had some advantages over Rong Qi.
Rare.
She pretended to be listening.
Ms. Ling coughed lightly and said, "Although you are far inferior to others in terms of career, you are still better than him in terms of personal issues."
"He is single!"
Cheng Li couldn't help it, and was moved by herself Choking and coughing repeatedly.
Under Ms. Ling's surprised gaze, she was embarrassed to say it.
Because now she doesn't even have the last advantage.
Neither.
It should be said that she was in a worse situation. After all, Rong Qi was single, but she was cheated on.
Thinking about it this way, it makes me even more worried.
"Mom, just go with me." Cheng Li begged at home.
After a night, the clean slippers on the balcony have been dried in the sun.
Cheng Li was going to return the slippers, but Ms. Ling felt that what happened yesterday was too social and decided not to go.
Cheng Li: "You're not as good as Yuan Ge."
At least when she kicked her shoes away, Meng Yuange took her shoes back resolutely.
"Then ask Yuan Ge to go with you," Ms. Ling sat on the sofa and continued to watch her favorite bloody drama without moving her buttocks.
Cheng Li had no choice but to change her shoes at the door.
Ling Shuanghua did not forget to remind: "Shoes, shoes, remember to wear them firmly. I don't know why you young people like to wear flip-flops. Isn't it uncomfortable to pinch your toes?"
"..."
Cheng Li learned this time I was smart, so I changed into a pair of sneakers and tied the shoelaces tightly.
She didn't believe that something would go wrong this time.
When she opened the door, she heard Ms. Ling shout again: "Don't go empty-handed when you go to someone else's house to return something. Buy something and take it with you."
"Oh." Cheng Li agreed.
She was in trouble when she went out because she really didn't know what to buy Rong Qi.
Logically speaking, he brought the slippers for her, so she should thank him.
But compared to Rong Qi, Cheng Li wanted to buy something for Grandma Xiang.
So she went to the flower shop and asked the boss to pack a bouquet of sunflowers and roses. She also bought an exquisite fruit basket at the fruit shop. After carrying these, she walked towards the garden house.
When she went back last night, Ms. Ling felt emotional for a long time.
A person's life is really thirty years to the east of the river and thirty years to the west of the river.
Grandma Xiang's life was very difficult at that time, otherwise the old couple would not be forced to set up a stall and sell oil dumplings. But who would have thought that a few years later, they would live in this exorbitantly priced small bungalow.
However, although Ling Shuanghua was feeling emotional, she was also happy for them.
Having someone to rely on in old age is a gratifying thing.
"Lili is here," Cheng Li rang the doorbell, asking her grandma to come out and open the door in person.
As soon as he saw her, he welcomed her into his home very happily.
Cheng Li handed over the bouquet and fruit basket in her hand, which made the old lady scold her: "You came right here, why did you buy so many things?"
"These are the sunflowers I bought for you. Doesn't it match your last name?"
Grandma Xiang was startled, and then said happily and embarrassedly, "Actually, this is the first time someone has given me flowers."
"Old man, hurry up and find a vase." Grandma Xiang. Command Grandpa Rong.
Grandpa Rong was a taciturn old man. He was reading a newspaper while wearing reading glasses. When he heard this, he slowly stood up and went to find a vase.
Study room on the second floor.
Rong Qi turned on the computer and was having a video conference.
Although today is the weekend, this meeting is very important and I can only work overtime for the meeting.
Rong Qi was originally listening intently to the people in the video, but through a crack in the open door, a voice came from downstairs.
The clear and sweet girl's voice is accompanied by the afternoon sunlight falling on the white curtains.
In a daze, time seemed to be pulled back to high school ten years ago.
"Mr. Rong, Mr. Rong," the subordinate's voice came from the computer.
Rong Qi looked at the camera and said flatly: "No, the price is too expensive, let's talk about it later."
The company is in contact with a leading autonomous driving company, but regardless of financing or acquisition, the other company's asking price is very high.
The two sides negotiated and reached a stalemate.
"Today's meeting, let's get here first." The clear voice from downstairs came out like a hook, tickling Rong Qi's heartstrings.
For the first time, he deserted from work.
Before anyone could react, Rong Qi's face had disappeared from the camera.
Everyone in the conference room looked at each other and were all muttering.
Originally, it was agreed that Rong Qi would also attend today's meeting.
Unexpectedly, at short notice, he would only participate in online meetings.
Downstairs, Cheng Li was chatting with Grandma Xiang. She has the kind of appearance that naturally pleases the elders, and she is also very patient in chatting with the elderly, so Grandma Xiang kept pulling her and talking non-stop.
When Rong Qi appeared at the stairs, Cheng Li, who was drinking water, almost choked.
Just now, Grandma Xiang told her to let her come and play often in the future. The two of them live together, and they are usually very lonely. Only then did Cheng Li know that Rong Qi didn't usually live with them.
So she subconsciously thought that Rong Qi was not at home today either.
The moment their eyes met, Cheng Li remembered the purpose of her visit today.
She picked up the paper bag she had on hand and said, "I'll return the slippers."
Rong Qi glanced at her lightly and tapped her chin.
Seeing him not saying a word, the atmosphere couldn't help but become a little awkward.
Cheng Li pursed her lips slightly, but took the initiative to speak again: "I have completely cleaned it, thank you."
Rong Qi took the initiative to lend her the slippers, and of course Cheng Li wanted to thank him sincerely.
So she took the initiative and said, "I've troubled you both times. How about I treat you to a meal when you're free?"
After she said that, Rong Qi didn't say anything for a while, staring straight at her.
Cheng Li felt a little scared when he was staring at her. She filtered what she just said in her mind again, and even mentioned it twice, without escaping the fact that she kicked her shoe into his hand the first time.
Politeness, politeness and sincerity are all in abundance.
"Cheng Li?" Rong Qi's eyes slightly arched.
Cheng Li blinked, wondering if he didn't remember her name until now, but it was really hard for him.
"Well, it's me," Cheng Li responded good-naturedly.
There was a hint of playfulness in Rong Qi's tone: "You talked about each other. I thought I recognized the wrong person. I didn't meet a high school classmate."
Can't high school classmates use such a polite tone?
Cheng Li was silent for a few seconds and asked directly: "Do you want to make a date for dinner?"
"..."
At this time, Grandma Xiang came over holding a vase. When she saw Rong Qi, she immediately said, "You are just in time to go downstairs. Go to the supermarket to buy some." White radish."
"What are you buying this for?" Rong Qi asked.
Grandma Xiang glanced at him: "Of course I made it for Lili. She has always liked to eat the fried dumplings I made. When you were in high school, your grandfather was sick for a few days. I didn't go out to the stall. She didn't. Because I really wanted to eat, I came to my house."
Cheng Li: "..."
You don't need to say such embarrassing things.
"Grandma Xiang, there's no need to go to such trouble, I'm just here to return the slippers," Cheng Li quickly refused.
But the old lady said reluctantly: "You haven't eaten the fried dumplings I made for so many years. Let's see if grandma's cooking is still as good as before."
Cheng Li still wanted to refuse.
The man next to him said abruptly, "Let's go."
"Ah?" Cheng Li turned to look at him, where were she going?
Rong Qi looked at her condescendingly: "Going to the supermarket to buy white radish, do you want me to go alone?"
That's true.
no!
Cheng Li suddenly reacted to a logical problem. She didn't have to eat it.
However, Rong Qi had already turned towards the door, and Cheng Li had no choice but to follow.
The two walked outside, and Cheng Li said helplessly: "I'm sorry to trouble you again."
Rong Qi didn't say anything at first. Instead, he walked out of the wrought iron gate of the yard and said slowly: "If you really find it troublesome..."
He paused. Next, Cheng Li looked at him.
"Eat more later."
Cheng Li: "Huh?"
Rong Qi: "I haven't done this for a long time, and I want to make her happy."
"Oh, that's it," Cheng Li nodded understandingly, but she was a little subtle in her heart. From the moment she reunited with Rong Qi, he basically had a cold face, but unexpectedly he was quite attentive.
The supermarket was not far from the bungalow, and the two quickly walked over.
Fortunately, with advanced technology, supermarkets will have vegetables no matter what season they are.
Soon, the two of them bought white radish.
After coming out of the supermarket, I didn't walk a few steps when I happened to meet an old lady selling white orchids and gardenias. The gardenias were strung into a bracelet, while the white orchids were strung into brooches with wires.
A burst of refreshing fragrance greets you.
"Handsome guy, buy a white orchid for your girlfriend to wear," Grandma asked with a smile when she saw the two of them.
Cheng Li didn't mind buying a bunch, but quickly explained: "We are not a couple."
Rong Qi glanced at her.
"How much does it cost for a bunch?" Cheng Li quickly asked the price, fearing that grandma would say something embarrassing again.
Grandma told the price, and Cheng Li bent down to choose.
"Handsome guy, why don't you choose for your girlfriend?" Grandma waved to Rong Qi.
Cheng Li: "..."
She had to say: "Grandma, we are really not a couple. He and I are both single."
"Oh, you two are single, don't you just match up."
I can't blame Grandma for being too much. Enthusiasm, in fact, the two of them look particularly eye-catching when they stand together, no matter their appearance or figure. It does feel a bit regretful to say that they are not a couple.
Cheng Li also wanted to explain that she had nothing to do with herself, but she was afraid that Rong Qi would think she was taking advantage of him.
Unexpectedly, the silent man beside him suddenly said, "Buy them all."
Cheng Li turned her head and looked at him in shock.
Rong Qi looked at grandma and said calmly: "We bought all of these."
Is this the willfulness of rich people?
But seeing her grandma's face full of surprise, Cheng Li didn't say anything.
When the two of them walked back with bags full of magnolia flowers, Cheng Li said, "You're quite kind."
Perhaps it was because of this grandma that it reminded him of the days when he set up a stall with his grandma.
After some people become rich, they will inevitably set their sights on others.
She found that Rong Qi didn't have this problem.
Although he looked quite cold, maybe it was just because he wasn't familiar with her.
When Rong Qi heard this, he didn't answer. Instead, he suddenly asked, "Did you just say that you were also single?"
I don't know if it was Cheng Li himself who took the position in advance.
Or Rong Qi's tone was indeed wrong.
Cheng Li felt that she heard a lot of ridicule, as if the other party was saying, "Oh, so you are not a single person like me."
He must have heard what Ms. Ling said yesterday, right?
"You look down on singles?" Cheng Li retorted without any confidence.
Rong Qi said calmly: "No."
Cheng Li looked at the smile on his lips and laughed in his heart. He was smiling like this. What should he deny?
