Chapter 257 - 257 Strong Aura
257 Strong Aura
Xu Mingzhi did not change her clothes and left the house.
Su Ji also thought that it was fine. They did not know what kind of person he was, so there was no need to dress up. Madam Xu Mingzhi was already beautiful enough just like this.
Wei Wei was still waiting there. “Boss, let me send you there.”
Xu Mingzhi remained silent for two seconds. “Alright.”
Su Ji leaned against the fence in the courtyard and waved at her mother, who was in the car.
Xu Mingzhi smiled, “go in, baby.”
In this life, no one could affect her mind, except for her precious baby.
Su Ji turned around and went back into the house. She saw a head sneakily sticking out from next door.
“Dad? Su Ji asked.
Su Cunyi didn’t dare to come out until Xu Mingzhi’s car had left. He hadn’t had the chance to see his daughter for several days.
“Good. You haven’t lost weight recently,” Su Cunyi said as he looked at her.
Su Ji looked at him with her back against the sun and smiled. “Dad, shouldn’t you go back to the Su family? You’ve been here for a while, right?”
“…”
Su Cunyi was stunned. “I’m just afraid that your mother is so busy every day and has no time to take care of you. Is filming tiring? Do you want me to take you out for a good meal while your mom is not here?”
Su Ji walked in front of him, and there was a fence between them. “I already ate lunch. She’s not busy, and she takes very good care of me.”
Su Cunyi gave her an “I know everything” expression. “How can she not be busy? I just saw her leave in the car. Isn’t she going to the company again? I know her, she used to be like this too. All she did every day was work and nothing else.”
Su Ji casually placed one of her legs on the fence between them. “No, she’s not out for work today.”
“No?” Su Cunyi was surprised and suspicious. “Then where is she going?”
Su Ji was very flexible. She pressed her face against her leg and said, “she’s going on a blind date.”
“What?”
Su Ji thought that he did not understand and repeated, “blind date. I introduced him to her.”
When she raised her head again, there was no one in front of her. Only a shadow was left where Su Cunyi had just stood.
The car that was parked on the other side of the road had already left.
He might be able to catch up with Xu Mingzhi if he tried hard enough.
**
The blind date was held at Godear.
The Western food there was delicious.
Wen Man was the one who picked the place, and she had paid for it in advance. She then instructed the waiter to make sure that all the expenses were on her tab.
Xu Mingzhi was sitting by the window in a formal suit. The high heels on her feet made her look even more slender, and also colder.
Opposite her was Tong Yingjie, who was wearing a gentlemanly suit with vertical stripes and had a small beard.
He was indeed quite good-looking.
Before anyone could speak, Xu Mingzhi’s phone vibrated. “Sorry, I have to take this call.”
“Okay.”
Xu Mingzhi was answering a work call. She was as swift and decisive as usual.
Occasionally, she would sneer.
Any normal man would be afraid when they saw this scene, but Tong Chu Yingjie was not. He was quite appreciative.
However, when Xu Mingzhi mentioned “why do they have to waste time on a business worth only one billion”, his on the table trembled.
After hanging up, Xu Mingzhi apologized politely. “I’m sorry, work is busy.”
Tong Yingjie replied in English, “no problem.”
Xu Mingzhi crossed her arms and examined the man opposite her.
It was supposed to be a blind date, but because of her strong aura, it became an interview.
But little did she know that she had already controlled herself and tried to be as gentle as possible because her daughter had asked her to come!
A drop of cold sweat rolled down from Tong Yingjie’s forehead. “Why don’t we order first?”
Xu Mingzhi nodded slightly.
In the next five minutes, Tong Yingjie ordered the dishes in English.
His English pronunciation was perfect. Even if it was some very rare ingredient, he could still pronounce it.
After ordering the appetizer, main course and dessert, Tong Yingjie sneaked a glance at Xu Mingzhi, his expression a little proud. Then, like a gentleman, he asked Xu Mingzhi what she wanted.
Xu Mingzhi answered simply, “two tomahawk steak!”
“…”
Tong Yingjie said, “I don’t eat that…”
Xu Mingzhi nodded politely. “Both are mine.”
“…”
Then, Tong Yingjie ordered two plates of tomahawk steak for Xu Mingzhi in English. He also ordered some side dishes and soup that would go well with it.
After they finished ordering, the table behind Tong Yingjie stretched out a hand, signaling the waiter to take his order.
That hand was quite good-looking, and the sleeves of his suit were clean.
Xu Mingzhi looked at Tong Yingjie and was about to speak when the man’s voice came from behind him. “Excuse me, can I not order in Chinese?”
“Yes sir, of course you may.”
The man said in a strange tone, “that’s weird. The customer just now clearly knew Chinese, but he still ordered in English!”
Once he said that, Tong Yingjie was so embarrassed that his expression froze.
The waiter didn’t know what to say other than chuckling.
Xu Mingzhi tilted her head, wanting to see who the man behind him was.
However, the man was sitting with his back to her, so she couldn’t see him.
The voice sounded a little familiar, and he spoke in a strange way as if he had deliberately changed his voice to avoid being discovered.
Xu Mingzhi narrowed her eyes suspiciously. After a moment, she looked back at Tong Yingjie.
In order to help him ease the awkwardness, Xu Mingzhi changed the topic. “I heard that you’re starting a business now. What’s your field?”
When Tong Yingjie talked about this, he was quite professional. He summarized the project he was working on to Xu Mingzhi.
Xu Mingzhi nodded. “That’s very creative.”
Xu Mingzhi had always been strict and didn’t praise people often, but Tong Yingjie was a smart person who spoke logically. He also had his own ideas for his project.
They finally forgot about the awkwardness just now and started chatting. Who knew that the man behind him would put the phone to his ear again and start talking.
“Old Meng, I’m eating out. Why are you so worried? Your son wants to start a business? Now that the economy is in a slump, nine out of ten entrepreneurs will lose money. Don’t believe in this!”
Tong Yingjie’s heart was hit by an arrow again!
Xu Mingzhi’s temples throbbed and she changed the topic again. “I heard that you are forty-nine years old this year and have never married. Do you like to be single? Or you just don’t care about marriage?”
Tong Yingjie was a little shy when he mentioned this. “Actually, I’ve been in a relationship with my first girlfriend for 18 years. She never wanted to get married, so…”
“…in his forties and still hasn’t gotten married? There’s definitely something wrong with him, Old Meng!”
The voice came from behind again.
Xu Mingzhi couldn’t take it anymore!
She picked up the fork in her hand. “Lower your head!”
Before Tong Yingjie could react to what was going on, he subconsciously lowered his head.
The next second, the fork flew past his head.
At this time, Su Cunyi turned around to watch the show, and his forehead was hit!
