Volume 1: The Golden Years Chapter 22 Leaving the Luo Family
"Suosuo, last night you..."
Seeing Yuan Xudong holding Zhu Suosuo and climbing the stairs, the two of them were behaving intimately. Luo Jiaming swallowed back the words he was about to say, his face turned pale, he looked at Yuan Xudong and forced a smile:
"Brother Xudong, thank you for sending Suosuo back. Leave the rest to me!"
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and was about to take the red-faced Zhu Suosuo who looked like she was drunk, but he didn't expect Yuan Xudong to turn his head slightly and avoid it. Instead, he handed the gift box in his hand to him and said:
"Jiaming, these are Suosuo's things. Please take them. There are two gift boxes of butter and crab roe in them. Suosuo brought them back specially to honor her uncle and aunt. Please try them and see how they taste!"
After saying that, without waiting for Luo Jiaming to come to his senses, Yuan Xudong threw a pile of things in his hand to him, then took the limp Zhu Suosuo's arm and walked around him, continuing to walk towards the second floor of the alley.
Seeing Luo Jiaming still standing there stupidly, Zhu Suosuo couldn't help but turn around and said:
"Jiaming, what are you still doing there? Come back soon!"
Hearing Zhu Suosuo's voice, Luo Jiaming immediately came back to his senses and responded.
"Got it, Suosuo!"
While hurriedly organizing the various gift boxes in her hands, she followed Yuan Xudong and Zhu Suosuo to the second floor of the alley.
Luo Jiaming felt depressed as he watched his childhood sweetheart cousin being easily embraced by Yuan Xudong, but he was powerless to do anything. He even had to help his rival carry the gifts to please Zhu Suosuo.
He knew that Zhu Suosuo had no money to buy these things, even the clothes and accessories on her body might have been bought by Yuan Xudong for her. He just didn't know where this former colleague, who was also penniless in the past, got so much money to please Suosuo.
On the second floor of the alley, the Luo family’s living room.
Yuan Xudong pushed the door open with Zhu Suosuo arm in arm. Hearing the noise, a fifty-year-old man with gray hair walked out of the bedroom. Seeing that Zhu Suosuo was not only covered in jewels, but also arm in arm with a handsome stranger , he couldn't help but wonder:
“Suosuo, who is this…?”
Letting go of Yuan Xudong, Zhu Suosuo blushed and introduced:
"Uncle, he is my boyfriend Yuan Xudong!"
Bang~~
Hearing Zhu Suosuo admit that Yuan Xudong was her boyfriend, Luo Jiaming felt hopeless. The gift box in his hand fell to the ground. Seeing everyone looking at him, he quickly bent down to pick it up, and said in panic:
"Sorry, my hand slipped and I couldn't hold the thing!"
Retracting his gaze, Yuan Xudong looked at Zhu Suosuo's uncle, nodded slightly and greeted:
"Uncle, hello, I'm Suosuo's boyfriend Yuan Xudong, you can just call me Xiao Yuan!"
Seeing that Yuan Xudong was dressed in luxurious clothes and had an extraordinary temperament, Luo Youfu did not call him Little Yuan in a boastful manner. Instead, he treated him as an equal:
"Hello, Mr. Yuan. I am Suosuo's uncle Luo Youfu. Suosuo grew up here since she was a child. She is like my own daughter. She is a kind-hearted girl. You must treat her well in the future!"
Seeing Luo Youfu's sincere expression, obviously caring about Zhu Suosuo, Yuan Xudong assured:
"Uncle , don't worry, I will cherish Suosuo!"
Before Luo Youfu could continue speaking, Luo Jiaming's mother came out of the bedroom. She looked at Zhu Suosuo and Yuan Xudong, who seemed to have turned from sparrows into phoenixes, and said in a bad tone:
"Xiao Yuan, you and Suosuo have only known each other for a short time, how come you suddenly became boyfriend and girlfriend?"
Hearing her aunt's question, Zhu Suosuo blushed and didn't know what to say. Yuan Xudong explained awkwardly:
"Auntie, Suosuo and I fell in love at first sight. I liked her and she liked me, so things developed quickly."
"love at first sight?"
Luo Jiaming's mother said with a fake smile:
"If I remember correctly, you've known Suosuo for less than three days. She didn't come home last night and even my phone couldn't get through. Was she with you?"
Seeing that Luo Jiaming's mother had brought up the topic, Yuan Xudong stopped beating around the bush. Since they were all adults, he simply admitted it directly:
"Yes, last night, Suosuo and I stayed at the Park Hyatt Hotel together. Don't worry, I will be responsible for Suosuo!"
Unexpectedly, Yuan Xudong would confess and say that he was responsible for Zhu Suosuo. Luo Jiaming's mother originally thought that Zhu Suosuo was just staying with Yuan Xudong, but she didn't expect that the two of them actually went to the hotel to get a room. For a moment, she stared at Zhu Suosuo and Yuan Xudong in astonishment. Even Luo Youfu stammered:
"You...you two actually went to the hotel..."
Yuan Xudong thought this was not a big deal, but he did not expect Zhu Suosuo's uncle and aunt to react so strongly. Even Zhu Suosuo was angry and said:
"What are you talking about? The hotel's special car is still waiting downstairs. Hurry up and go to Jingyan Group to discuss the Songjiang Hotel project with Ye Jinyan. Remember to help me arrange a job, okay?"
Seeing Zhu Suosuo winking at him behind his uncle and aunt's back, Yuan Xudong immediately understood what she meant and said:
"Got it, Suosuo!"
After saying that, he looked at Zhu Suosuo's uncle and aunt and said:
"Uncle, aunt, I still have things to do, so I won't bother you anymore, bye!"
As soon as she finished speaking, without waiting for Zhu Suosuo's uncle and aunt to react, Zhu Suosuo immediately pushed Yuan Xudong out of the alley. If they continued to stay here, she didn't know what kind of ridiculous things Yuan Xudong would say.
When Zhu Suosuo pushed him out of the door, seeing Luo Jiaming looking like he had lost all hope in life, Yuan Xudong couldn't help but comfort him:
"Jiaming, we are a family from now on. Remember to contact me if you have any problems!"
Seeing that Yuan Xudong deliberately provoked his cousin who liked him, Zhu Suosuo couldn't help but said angrily:
"Who are you? Go away!"
Arriving downstairs at the Luo family's house, Yuan Xudong looked at the blushing Zhu Suosuo and said with a smile:
"Well, it's not a big deal. It's just love between a man and a woman. As experienced people, my uncle and aunt will definitely understand!"
After that, he handed his cell phone to Zhu Suosuo and said rather embarrassedly:
"What's your phone number and WeChat? Let's add each other as friends!"
Zhu Suosuo took the phone unhappily, entered her phone number into Yuan Xudong's address book, and then called her own phone, complaining casually:
"I've never seen a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship like ours, where we don't even know each other's phone number or WeChat. I'll save my phone number in your address book, and your WeChat ID is the phone number. You can add me as your WeChat friend later, got it?"
After taking the phone that Zhu Suosuo handed back to him and opening the address book, he easily found Zhu Suosuo's phone number because she had thoughtfully noted "A's girlfriend". Yuan Xudong opened WeChat and added Zhu Suosuo as a friend while jokingly saying:
"Get on the bus first and buy your ticket later, to avoid your seat being taken by someone else!"
"Pooh~~"
Zhu Suosuo spat lightly, pushed Yuan Xudong into the BMW, and said shyly in a low voice:
"Don't come over at night. I'll go to the Park Hyatt Hotel to find you~~"
"Got it, call me if you have any questions!"
Yuan Xudong got into the car and told Xiao Ma to drive to Jingyan Group. He looked out the window at Zhu Suosuo and waved goodbye:
"Go back, see you tonight!"
"See you tonight!"
It was not until the BMW disappeared around the corner of the alley that Zhu Suosuo reluctantly withdrew her gaze, took out her cell phone, saved Yuan Xudong's phone number in the missed call into her address book, then opened WeChat and accepted the other party's friend request, with the note "A's boyfriend".
When I looked up, I saw my uncle and aunt leaning out of the second-floor window looking at me. She smiled and waved, then walked to the second floor of the alley.
Thanks to Yuan Xudong's outspokenness, Zhu Suosuo felt that she was doomed this time. Her image as a good girl in the eyes of her family collapsed. Her uncle and aunt would definitely tell her father about her staying out all night:
"Brother-in-law, your daughter, Little White Rabbit, has been taken away by the Big Bad Wolf. Come back quickly!"
