Raiders of that cat

Two years later.

As an assistant, Xiao Jie held the document, stood at the door of the general manager's office, knocked on the door lightly, and pushed it away after hearing "Enter" inside.

"Mr. An, Mr. Li from Shengyuan has arrived."

Xiao Jie watched her boss slowly raise her head. Although she saw her every day, his handsome appearance, the smile on his lips, his elegance and introversion were completely the image of a perfect man in Xiao Jie's heart. Looking at it, Xiao Jie's pounding heart was about to jump out.

"Contract ready?"

Xiao Jie nodded repeatedly, and quickly handed him the document in her hand.

He took it over and took a look, and after confirming that it was correct, he stood up, put on his suit jacket, buttoned it, and walked out of the office.

Today is a turning point for his studio. Being able to cooperate with a big company like Shengyuan means that he can regain his place in the advertising circle.

Think about it two years ago, he invested all his assets and finally opened his own studio. At first, the studio had no reputation and suffered a lot of rejections.

The contract was signed very smoothly, and Mr. Li is very optimistic about him.

After taking over the big case, he was going to treat all the employees of the studio to a meal, but at this time, An Ruyi called.

"An Xiuchen, come back for lunch today."

An Xiuchen glanced at the employees in the studio, then walked to the French window and said, "I'm not free today, I just promised to invite everyone in the studio to dinner."

An Ru refused to budge: "No, I have to come back at noon today."

"Did something happen? Or...you have no money?"

As soon as the words fell, the voice on the other end raised a tone: "An Xiuchen, I have something serious to tell you, it's inconvenient on the phone, you should come back first."

After speaking, he hung up the phone.

An Xiuchen sighed, beckoned Xiao Jie to come over helplessly, then took out a card from his wallet and handed it to her: "I have something to do at noon today, you can find a good restaurant, don't worry about the price, after all It’s going to be busy next time.”

With a regretful expression, Xiao Jie could only nod and took the card.

An Xiuchen drove home, and as soon as he entered the door, he smelled the smell of braised pork ribs.

There is nothing to be courteous, and it is either a traitor or a thief.

An Ruyi poked his head out from the kitchen, and glanced at An Xiuchen: "Go and wash your hands, today I made your favorite ribs, to nourish your body."

An Xiuchen put down his bag, washed his hands and sat in front of the dining table, watching An Ru bustle, and finally set the table full of dishes.

"What day is it today? It's not a holiday, you cook so many dishes." An Xiuchen paused, then raised his head and said, "Could there be any guests?"

An Ruyi took off her apron, sat down and shook her head: "No, these are all for you."

An Xiuchen smiled: "It's true that the sun is coming out from the west, you won't cause any trouble, will you?"

An Ruyi's face froze, and she wished she could throw the spare ribs she had just picked up in his face: "Is there anyone who talks to my old lady like that? You bastard, don't forget, if I hadn't taken you in back then, I would have lent you money to let you drive Studio, you can't tell where the sewer pipe is sleeping."

When An Ruyi took out a passbook from the drawer and handed it to An Xiuchen, An Xiuchen was surprised.

He never imagined that An Ruyi, a gambler, could secretly hide so much money?

In An Ruyi's words, this passbook is her pension money, which was taken out for her own pity, but it's not for nothing, the annual interest is almost as high as that of usury.

Fortunately, in the end An Xiuchen even paid back the principal with interest, otherwise the old lady would have this matter weigh him down for the rest of his life.

But now it seems that even if she still pays, she is still talking about it.

Sometimes An Xiuchen wondered, the money in her passbook was all living expenses that she had sent to her, and if she borrowed her own money, how could it become hers?

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, I won't say anything, eat, okay?"

An Xiuchen picked up the chopsticks and lowered his head to take a bite of the rice, and then he saw a picture of a woman on the table?

An Ruyi smiled, and pointed at the woman in the photo: "How is it? Doesn't it look good?"

Is this another blind date?

An Xiuchen didn't glance at him, and continued to eat his own meal: "Mom, your son is only thirty, not forty, so don't worry about such things, okay?"

I have to say that An Ruyi's temperament has really changed a lot during these two years of getting along. It may be because of his age that he puts more emphasis on family affection, but this sudden concern makes An Xiuchen a little uncomfortable.

"What do you mean don't worry? At your age, children can already play soy sauce. I know you are busy with work, so I will take care of it for you first. This good girl will be picked away by someone else. How can you ask for it?" daughter in law?"

An Ruyi said plausible words, but in exchange for An Xiuchen's sneer: "Then you really made a mistake. You know that I don't like women, but you still insist on asking me for such a thing. If you have the ability, you Find a man to show me, maybe I will agree if I am soft-hearted."

An Ru put on a straight face, reached out and snatched the bowl from An Xiuchen's hand: "Try to say it again?"

War is imminent.

An Xiuchen has seen how powerful An Ruyi is, and he doesn't want to be treated like a monster by the neighbors anymore.

"Okay, I'll take this meal as a meal. If you really have nothing to do, go out and dance square dances with those old ladies, or find a boyfriend to go on a trip, don't always focus on me, okay ?"

After An Xiuchen finished speaking, he got up and wanted to leave, but An Ru stared at his back and said angrily, "Are you still thinking about Gu Shaoqing?!"

An Xiuchen was startled, and stopped in his footsteps. He hadn't heard this name for a long time.

Two years is enough to turn people's hearts into disappointment after hope, and despair after disappointment.

"I still have something to do in my studio, so I'm leaving first."

An Xiuchen walked to the door and was about to change his shoes, when suddenly a box flew from An Ruyi's direction and hit him in the chest, the box fell to the ground, and a ring rolled down to his feet.

An Xiuchen's eyes tightened, and he bent over to pick it up, his face could not hide his nervousness: "What are you doing?! Who told you to look through my drawer!"

"If I don't look through your drawer, can I know that you have been acting in front of me for two years?"

An Xiuchen glared at An Ruyi, then picked up the box and carefully put the ring in.

He didn't want to quarrel with An Ruyi. In fact, he knew in his heart that An Ruyi was getting old, and the mother's love in his heart had finally awakened, but An Xiuchen was no longer used to her caring so much about his private life.

"An Xiuchen, I didn't object to you before because I thought you were just trying to have fun for a while. What's the matter now? Are you really going to take it seriously and marry a man?!"

He wanted to marry Gu Shaoqing, but he had to find Gu Shaoqing.

An Xiuchen was silent, and An Ruyi became even more furious. She walked over and reached out to snatch the box from An Xiuchen's hand. Fortunately, An Xiuchen was prepared and quickly locked the door.

"Mom, you're almost sixty, can you show some face? Are you really going to shout that the whole world knows about your son's homosexuality?"

An Ruyi stared at him for a long time, finally waved his hand away, and sat on the sofa: "I didn't tell anyone except last time in the hospital, just forget about embarrassing yourself, don't try to drag me in."

An Xiuchen put the box in his pocket, walked up to An Ruyi, and prepared to have a calm talk with her: "I have always respected you because you are my mother, but when it comes to choosing a lover, you are No, you can also try to respect me, after all, I am an adult, not a child, I know who to love and who not to love, I have the ability to distinguish."

"I'm not disrespecting you. Even if you don't want to marry a woman but want to be with a man, can I trouble you to find someone more reliable? That Gu Shaoqing has been missing for two years. This person who has never lived or died, you Are you really going to keep him forever?"

If Gu Shaoqing really can't find it, An Xiuchen really planned to do so.

"I love him. I can't tolerate others in my heart. I can only tell you that."

An Ruyi smiled, and sarcastically said: "Son, how old are you, don't talk about love lightly, you can persist for two years, but you may not be able to persist for ten years, one day, you will feel ridiculous for what you said today. No one in the world can't live without someone, everyone is the same."

"What about you? Why didn't you find a solid man to marry after you left him?"

An Xiuchen's rhetorical question successfully blocked An Ruyi.

An Ru glanced away, obviously not wanting to talk about this topic: "Talk about you, don't bring it to me."

"Look, you also resent others grabbing your privacy." An Xiuchen smiled bitterly, sat next to An Ruyi, and sighed: "I was born by you after all, this stubborn temper is up to you , If you fancy a person, that person is in your heart, and so is your son, so don't push things that you can't even do on me."

An Ruyi stopped talking, her eyes were straightened, she didn't know what she was thinking.

An Xiuchen glanced at his watch, it was getting late, he had to go back to the studio.

Before going out, An Ruyi still said a word to him: "You will regret it, living alone is much harder than living alone, I don't want you to live like me."

An Xiuchen glanced at An Ruyi, left without saying anything.

Maybe he will regret it later, but now he wants to do it.

An Xiuchen took out the box from his pocket, took out the ring and put it on his ring finger. From now on, whether he can find Gu Shaoqing or not, his heart will be tied to him alone.
