Rebirth or let the ungrateful wolf be born
Chapter 49 Meeting the Right Person at the Wrong Time
The two arrived at the reserved private room, and as soon as they sat down, the dishes began to be served one after another. The Jiang mother and daughter also believed that Yu Xiufeng sincerely wanted to treat them to a meal.
"Don't you have a fiancée, Mr. Yu? Why are you going on a blind date again?" Jiang Jie asked while drinking tea.
"You don't have a fiancée, and the invitation was just a way for me to get you back to the company for the meeting. Didn't you notice that the bride's name is a homophone of yours? I really couldn't think of a name, and I didn't want to make up a name. You understand my feelings. Ever since I met you, you're all in my heart." Yu Xiufeng set the tableware for the Jiang mother and daughter, and began to use serving chopsticks to help Jiang's mother serve the dishes.
Mother Jiang smiled and nodded to thank him. She pretended to be immersed in the food and did not interrupt their conversation. As a person who had experienced it, she certainly understood that Mr. Yu was her daughter's suitor, but she was rejected by her daughter, but she still did not give up. She had a scale in her heart. Mr. Yu was really better than her husband, but even so, she could not say to her daughter to divorce.
Yu Xiufeng found that Jiang's mother's mind was on food, but he still explained that he couldn't let the old lady think that he was fickle and irresponsible and lose the opportunity to become her son-in-law forever.
Jiang Jie also glanced at her mother and said awkwardly, "But I'm married and have a son. We won't have any future, so don't waste your time on me."
When Yu Xiufeng saw Jiang Jie say the same thing in front of Jiang's mother, he had to believe that she was really married as she said.
"Just because you're married doesn't stop me from treating you and aunt to a meal! Come and eat!" Yu Xiufeng concealed his disappointment very well.
Jiang's mother also knew clearly that this young man liked her daughter, but she didn't take her daughter's rejection of him seriously. Now that she was told the reason in front of her, she had to believe it. And this Mr. Yu was still a gentleman, and he was still polite even though he knew there would be no follow-up.
If her daughter had not been with Jiang Musen and had a baby, she would have preferred that her daughter be surrounded by a man like Mr. Yu. Over the past few years, she had not been able to see what advantages Lin Musen had that attracted her daughter. If it was just his appearance, then there was nothing wrong with that. Lin Musen was indeed handsome. But compared to Mr. Yu, he was less masculine.
In terms of attitude, Mr. Yu is considerate and thoughtful to his daughter, but Xiao Lin, as her daughter's husband, rarely cares about her daughter's health, such as the tumor in her daughter's body, which he never took seriously. Although her daughter comforted herself that she had checked it and it was fine, it was still buried in her heart like a time bomb. But her daughter just didn't want to have the operation, and she couldn't say much. When she thought of her daughter's disease, she suddenly lost her appetite.
Yu Xiufeng had been paying attention to Jiang's mother. When he noticed that she put down her chopsticks, he quickly picked up the roast duck for her with the serving chopsticks.
"Auntie, Jiang Jie brought you here to eat this roast duck. She may not know that this hotel's roast duck is the most authentic in North City. Come and try it and see if it's worth your journey."
Mother Jiang picked up the chopsticks again to taste the food, and soon nodded with a smile and praised: "It really lives up to its reputation."
"Mr. Yu, please eat quickly and don't bother me, an old woman." The uneasiness in Jiang's mother's heart was dispelled by the delicious food, and she became polite to Yu Xiufeng.
"Auntie, you can call me Xiao Yu or Xiufeng. Don't call me Mr. Yu. It's too polite." Yu Xiufeng got up and poured a glass of coconut milk for Jiang's mother.
"Xiao Yu, I just heard that you were on a blind date. How old are you?" Jiang's mother changed the subject.
"I'll be 30 this year, so my mother is in a hurry to call me back for a blind date. Jiang Jie may not know this, but I'm from North City, and my grandmother's family is from M City, where I started a business." Yu Xiufeng talked about his situation with the Jiang mother and daughter.
"You look young and promising, why don't you have a family?" Jiang's mother was very puzzled. How could such an outstanding man not be liked by women?
"At the beginning, I was always busy with work and spent all my time on work. When the company stabilized, I couldn't meet a girl I liked. Later, I finally met one, and I had a crush on her for a long time only to find out that she was married." Yu Xiufeng's tone was full of regret, which made Jiang's mother sigh.
"This is called meeting the right person at the wrong time, right?" Jiang Jie smiled and changed the subject.
"No, I think the time is right, but the other party is testing me, and I haven't passed the test yet." Yu Xiufeng said with a hint of meaning. He always felt that Jiang Jie was his, no matter whether she was married or not.
Jiang's mother started eating by herself. Young people have their own ideas. Her daughter is also a sensible person, so she doesn't need to worry about her.
Jiang Jie didn't say anything else, and was immersed in eating. She didn't dislike Yu Xiufeng, but she didn't have much feeling for him either. If he wasn't her boss, she might not have had any communication with him. Of course, she could read Yu Xiufeng's mind, but she didn't want to respond to him on this, so she directly stated her attitude. Let him make his own choice.
The three of them ate in silence, and Yu Xiufeng occasionally used serving chopsticks to help the mother and daughter arrange the dishes. Overall, the three of them were quite satisfied with the meal.
"Mr. Yu, you don't have to pay for the trip to Beicheng this time. I'll give you the money. If you don't want it, just take my salary! I don't like owing favors to others, especially when it comes to money." Jiang Jie is the kind of person who doesn't like to owe favors to others, and she also doesn't like others to owe her favors.
Jiang Jie's principle in her new life is to not mistreat her mother and herself, not to subsidize anyone, and to work hard to make money so that she and her mother can live a high-quality life.
The next day, Jiang Jie and her mother got up and received a call from Yu Xiufeng. He came to accompany Jiang's mother to Xiangshan to see the red leaves as promised. He got up and waited for them in the hotel lobby.
In order to let her mother have fun without any psychological burden, Jiang Jie told her mother before going to bed that although Yu Xiufeng paid for the trip, it was her salary. Jiang Jie confirmed this in front of her mother when she met Yu Xiufeng. In order not to spoil her mother's fun, Yu Xiufeng nodded and admitted that it was true.
During the three-day tour in Beicheng, Jiang's mother had a great time under the guidance of Yu Xiufeng. He was a native of Beicheng and knew the stories behind these attractions very well. As a tour guide, he was no worse than a professional one, but better. After all, he was only serving Jiang's mother, which made Jiang's mother smile throughout the trip.
On the afternoon of the third day, Jiang Jie said goodbye to Yu Xiufeng: "Thank you so much for this time. You spent money and effort to let a big boss like me accompany her for a few days. I don't know how many opportunities to make money have been delayed." Jiang Jie knew that this person was busy all day in the company and often didn't even have time to eat. But he accompanied her throughout the past few days and rarely even answered the phone.
While helping Jiang's mother put the luggage in the car, Yu Xiufeng said, "I have an unsolicited request. Can I take a ride back to City M with you? I didn't drive this time."
Jiang's mother also laughed: "So this is Xiao Yu's plan. He is staying here with an old lady like me just to take our car back home!"
Yu Xiufeng smiled and followed her words: "Yes, Auntie, isn't it for this? But it's also for fun. I haven't been to these places for many years. Thanks to you, I can relive the joy of my childhood."
"What else is there to say? I have to agree to let you come with me. This way it will be safer for you and Jie'er to take turns driving, and I can sleep peacefully in the back." Jiang's mother agreed to Yu Xiufeng's request without waiting for her daughter to react.
"Auntie, you will never regret your decision because I know a route back to City M that no one else knows. This route is not only short, but also picturesque along the way." Yu Xiufeng saw Jiang Jie's slightly frowned brows, and quickly added fuel to the fire to please Jiang's mother.
Jiang's mother was even happier, and urged her daughter: "Jie'er, why are you still hesitating? Get in the car and go! Is there anything else that Xiaoyu wants to take home?"
Yu Xiufeng shook his head repeatedly. He knew that they would return this afternoon, so he put all his documents directly into his coat pocket.
Jiang Jie, who always obeyed her mother, had no choice but to move aside. She then made a gesture of invitation to Yu Xiufeng to sit in the driver's seat, and she got on the passenger seat. Jiang's mother just put down the back seat with peace of mind, spread out the luggage, and lay down on the spacious bed. She did not forget to draw the curtains on the front seat and went to sleep. In the past, she would sit and chat with her daughter, fearing that her daughter would be tired and driving dangerously. Today, with Yu Xiufeng's presence, she just slept and rested, feeling so relaxed and comfortable.
The moment Yu Xiufeng saw the curtain being pulled up at the back, he felt relieved. He didn't care about Jiang's mother appearing in front of him, but when Jiang's mother gave him and Jiang Jie some space to be alone, the relaxed feeling made the corners of his mouth curl up into a smile.
It was at this moment that Jiang Jie read Yu Xiufeng's thoughts: Auntie is so thoughtful. It makes her feel closer to Jiang Jie when they are alone together.
Jiang Jie couldn't help but want to laugh. The mother she knew didn't think this way. Maybe this body was born by Jiang's mother, and the baby was born by her, so she could hear the thoughts of these two people as long as she held her breath. When the mother pulled the curtain, she was thinking: It's rare to have a laborer who comes to my door and helps my daughter drive. I can sleep well without worrying about it.
"This car is very user-friendly in design!" Yu Xiufeng praised Jiang Jie when he saw her smile.
"Well, it was all my mother's idea. She also made this curtain herself. How about it? It's special, isn't it?" Jiang Jie smiled as she took a look at the curtain made from her mother's old bed sheet. It felt a bit like a big flowered coat from Northeast China.
"Yeah, Auntie is really clever and skillful." Yu Xiufeng wanted to laugh again. He had been getting along with the Jiang mother and daughter for the past few days and did not feel tired as a tour guide. Instead, it was particularly relaxing. So he took a few days off to accompany the two of them on the tour and relax himself.
Yu Xiufeng had driven back and forth for many years on the route from North City to M City, and he knew every route like the back of his hand. He took them to eat at orchards along the way and to visit sparsely populated scenic spots. When they stopped to eat, he personally cooked his own specialties for Jiang's mother in the suburbs. He and Jiang Jie would fish in the creek and grill them. Yu Xiufeng was lucky enough to catch a rabbit and cook it for Jiang's mother and daughter. They played and walked, and after three days of getting along, Jiang's mother's favor for Yu Xiufeng increased rapidly.
Jiang Jie was a little amused and helpless. On the way to North City, Chen Yuanyuan accompanied her all the way, which made Jiang's mother want to adopt her as her goddaughter. Yu Xiufeng accompanied her all the way back to M City, and now she wanted to adopt this man as her godson.
Yu Xiufeng is a smart man. He knows the influence of Jiang's mother on Jiang Jie. He tried his best to please Jiang's mother along the way and finally got the result he wanted. When Yu Xiufeng and Jiang's mother and daughter parted ways in M City, Jiang's mother was still reluctant to leave.
"Xiao Yu, when you are free, come to visit Auntie's house. Auntie will prepare delicious food for you." Jiang's mother held Yu Xiufeng's hand and told him. She also gave Yu Xiufeng a business card, which was prepared for those vegetable farmers to facilitate contact when purchasing vegetables.
Yu Xiufeng also secretly prepared gifts for Jiang's mother and daughter, and kept them in the car without taking them out. He only left a blessing card in the gift box. He gave Jiang's mother a newest mobile phone. When they were traveling together in North City, he learned from Jiang's mother's chat that she wanted a mobile phone. He asked his friends to pick out a phone that she particularly liked. He also gave Jiang Jie a jade Buddha that had been blessed to keep her safe. He had carefully observed that Jiang Jie did not like gold and silver jewelry, but preferred jade. She was wearing a jade bracelet of good quality on her hand.
When they arrived at the villa and were moving their luggage into the house, the mother and daughter discovered the two beautifully wrapped gift boxes.
Yu Xiufeng picked up the phone after it rang twice. When Jiang Jie's voice came over, he was filled with joy.
"Mr. Yu, we saw the gifts you bought for me and my mother. We like them very much. Thank you for your thoughtfulness." Jiang Jie invited politely: "My mother also prepared a gift for you. I will give it to you when you come to my house as a guest."
"Okay, I'm looking forward to it now. I will arrange time to visit your aunt at your home as soon as possible." Yu Xiufeng did not expect that his return gift would be of the same price as the two gifts he had given out.
When he opened the gift box and found it was a watch, he glanced at the price and found that it was almost the same price as the gift he had given. He couldn't help but smile bitterly.
What was even more outrageous was that when the October salary was paid in November, Jiang Jie directly returned half of it to the company's finance department, saying that she had received an advance on her October salary, leaving Yu Xiufeng with no reason to refuse.
Jiang Jie's behavior clearly showed that she didn't want to get closer to him and have any interests involved. The worst thing happened. Jiang Jie resumed working from home and no longer showed up at the company. The company couldn't adjust her because she did a very good job and her contract also stated that she didn't need to work in the office.
At the beginning of the year, Jiang's mother discovered that Jiang Jie's marriage was not normal. Her son-in-law did not come back to celebrate the New Year on the second day of the Lunar New Year. This puzzled her. If the two had a good relationship, why didn't he come back?
"Mom, you are just overthinking. The store has just opened and is doing business during the Spring Festival. How can you leave?" In order to make her mother happy, Jiang Jie started taking her mother to watch operas everywhere on the sixth day of the New Year.
