When Sophie got off the plane, she saw her brother Su Heng waiting there wearing a big black trench coat and sunglasses with a handsome face.
She smiled and walked over slowly, holding only a resume bag in her hand, and the other things had already been hauled back.
"Today is the Chinese New Year. Dad said that our family will not be eating at home this year. We have booked a table at Cuiwei Restaurant and we will eat there." Su Heng said to her.
Sophie had just returned from East Africa, and her face still looked tired. To be honest, she really had no appetite for food, and she just wanted to find a place to sleep.
But on such an important day, her brother had reminded her time and time again that she had to come back on time and she would have to spend the New Year at home no matter what.
"You're tired, please stay in the car for a while. Anyway, it's been an hour now." Su Heng looked at the blue color of her eyes distressedly and said.
"Yeah." Sophie nodded, got in the car and really slept with her eyes closed.
"By the way, have you reconciled with your sister-in-law?" Sophie turned to look at him.
Su Heng looked stunned and only concentrated on driving: "Your sister-in-law went to Hong Kong."
"Going to Hong Kong?" Sophie was extremely surprised. Her sister-in-law's life circle has always been narrow, so why did she suddenly go to Hong Kong?
"She organized a children's show and was invited to perform in Hong Kong." Seeing his sister's confusion, Su Heng hurriedly explained.
"But it's the Chinese New Year now?"
"I was supposed to come back today, but the flight was suddenly canceled and I have to come back tomorrow." This is what makes Su Heng depressed.
"Don't you buy a plane? Wouldn't it be enough to pick her up?"
"Then she must be willing." Su Heng said helplessly.
Sophie saw her brother's expression and knew that he had a path to love.
Su Heng concentrated on driving, but still looked at Sophie from time to time. She had already closed her eyes slightly and was getting ready to sleep. She had something to say, but in the end she said nothing.
When they arrived at Cuiweiju, Su Heng parked the car and then called his sister to finish the conversation.
Sophie woke up, her eyes a little confused, as if she had just been in a dream.
"What's wrong?" He couldn't help but asked as if he saw the corners of his sister's eyes slightly astringent.
"It's okay, I haven't slept so soundly for a long time," Sophie replied.
After letting the doorman open the car, Su Heng and Sophie went in one after another. Cuiwei Residence has five floors, and the fifth floor is the high-end VIP area. There are only a few private rooms, which are not available for ordinary people.
In the past, Tong Yan would prepare everything at home for the New Year and holidays, and the family would have a lively time at home.
This year, Su Qingyu suggested that it would be better for her to go out to eat instead of having to worry about it at home.
Under the escort of the manager, they went directly to Yulouchun on the fifth floor. Sophie was at the door and smiled immediately when she saw the name. The name of this room is very foreign and nondescript.
When I opened the door and went in, I saw that the seats were not full, but they were my parents, my aunt Su Lixia, my uncle Ji Li, and Ji Jie.
There are not many close relatives in the Su family. The mother is an only child, and her parents have been gone in her early years. Many of those cousins are not in the capital, and they will not be invited to attend such a family banquet. The father has a younger sister, Su Lixia, and all the heads of the Su family have also
Even if I'm not here, my relatives from the sidelines will not attend the family dinner today.
Sophie was quite comfortable with such a family dinner. As soon as she came out, Ji Jie came over: "Feifei, you are finally back?"
"Dad, mom, aunt, uncle." Sophie called.
"Feifei is back, sit down quickly!" Lidya Su said to her hurriedly.
"Feifei, I've discovered that you are busier than cousin Heng now. You haven't seen anyone all day long. I can't get through my phone calls ten or eight times to you," Ji Jie joked.
"Xiaojie, please don't accuse me wrongly. Have you called me ten times this year?" Sophie smiled.
"Humph, didn't you give me a phone number too?"
"Come here and sit down!" Tong Yan called out hurriedly, feeling sorry for her daughter.
Sophie came over and sat down by her mother's hand.
"Feifei, I see you have lost weight again. You girl, you fly all over the world all day long. Look how thin you have become." Su Lixia looked at her distressedly, "Why is a girl working so hard?"
"No way, aunt, I have gained a few pounds during this period!" Sophie replied.
"You should rest at home and let your mother make you fatter." Lidya Su didn't believe her. She felt that this girl had lost weight and her face was not as rosy as before.
"I haven't been out in the past few months." Sophie also said this to her parents.
"That's what you said." After hearing what her daughter said, Tong Yan immediately answered, "Just stay at home. Your mother and I have been idle recently, so I will take care of you full-time."
"Mom, I'm such an adult now, why do I need you to take care of me?" Sophie smiled.
Tong Yan rolled her eyes, as long as this girl gave her some peace of mind, she wouldn't worry so much.
"Is it ready to serve?" Sophie saw that there was nothing on the table and thought everyone was waiting for her, so she hurriedly asked.
"Wait a moment, another guest is coming." This time it was Ji Li who said.
Sophie was confused. Who else would come to a family dinner like theirs?
Just as I was thinking this, the door opened and I heard a male voice: "Sorry, I'm late. Uncle Su, I'm so sorry, I asked everyone to wait for me."
"Anyway, not long after we sat down, Feifei just arrived and we were chatting!" Although Su Qingyu did not get up, he turned around and was very polite to the man, "Feifei, this is Semir CEO An Yanxing
.Yan Xing, this is my daughter Sophie."
Sophie was stunned. She saw the man in a dark blue suit and gave her a very gentlemanly smile: "Feifei, I have always wanted to see you. In fact, I have known you for a long time. I feel like I have known you for a long time. I saw you today.
In person, I find you more beautiful than in the photos."
Her smile froze slightly: "Hello." Then she turned to look at her brother, and found that he gave him a look, and she understood immediately.
For such a family dinner, her parents actually arranged a blind date for her.
"Yan Xing's family all lives in New Zealand. This time he was unable to go back in time because he was discussing cooperation with us. So my father and I warmly invited him to celebrate the New Year with us." Su Heng explained from the side, "And Feifei, Yan Xing has always been yours.
A loyal fan, I admire you very much."
Sophie's smile was even more embarrassing, and she even felt a little disgusted and angry. She really didn't expect that her parents and brother would arrange a blind date for her.
"I hope my appearance will not be too abrupt." An Yanxing looked at Sophie and said, "Feifei, did I scare you?"
How could she not be frightened! Suddenly a man appeared on such an occasion, and everyone's intentions were so obvious. No matter how strong her heart was, she could not remain calm.
"Serve the food, Yan Xing, come and sit down." Su Qingyu said.
"Uncle Su, you're welcome." Ji Jie moved a seat and made room for the empty seat on Sophie's right.
An Yanxing sat down, and Sophie also sat down slowly.
"By the way, Yan Xing, have you booked your flight? I really didn't make good arrangements this time. I didn't expect that the flight would be canceled and you wouldn't be able to go home." Su Heng said apologetically.
"It doesn't matter, I have a flight tomorrow morning. To be honest, our family has been abroad for many years, and most of them have celebrated Christmas and New Year. We haven't celebrated the Spring Festival in such a serious way for many years, so it's quite new." An Yanxing said with a smile.
"Feifei, Yan Xing also told me that Xingma will develop in the country in recent years, and they will also focus on charity next year. I believe you will have a very happy cooperation." Su Heng said to his sister.
"Really? That's great." Of course she was happy that someone paid attention to charity, "Mom and Dad, let me go to the bathroom."
"Um."
"I want to go too." Ji Jie also stood up and the two of them came out one after the other.
When she arrived at the bathroom, Ji Jie saw Sophie washing her hands attentively in front of the sink, but her face was not that pretty.
"What, are you angry? Uncle and the others are also worried about you, and I heard from my mother that this An Yanxing is really good. He is steady in his work, not eager for quick success, and has a good character. Think about it, uncle Heng and cousin love you so much.
If I'm not that kind of person, can I introduce him to you?" Ji Jie said to her.
Sophie laughed when she heard this: "So you are here to be a lobbyist too."
"No, it's just that everyone feels uncomfortable seeing you floating outside like this!" Ji Jie said and looked at her with a worried look.
As she was talking, she suddenly heard the sound of flushing water in the bathroom, and her face changed slightly. She didn't expect there was someone there.
When the door opened, she turned around and saw that it was Tan Yiqian.
"Sister Qianqian." Sophie paled slightly, thinking that Tan Yiqian must have heard what she just said.
"What a coincidence, Feifei, Xiaojie." Tan Yiqian smiled, "I didn't expect you to come here for New Year's Eve dinner."
"Yes." Ji Jie replied, "Sister Qianqian, you are also having New Year's Eve dinner here!"
"Yes, which room are you in?" Tan Yiqian asked.
"Jade House Spring."
"We are at Taohuadu, Feifei, why don't you come with me and say hello? Grandpa was thinking of you just now, so he must be very happy to see you." Tan Yiqian said.
"Sister Qianqian, my uncle and aunt are all waiting. How about we go back and sit down for a while, and then go over to say hello together?" Ji Jie said immediately when she saw that Sophie didn't answer.
"That's fine." Tan Yiqian glanced at Sophie. She heard their conversation clearly, "Then I'll leave first."
"Okay, Sister Qianqian, we'll be there in a moment," Sophie said.
When Tan Yiqian left, Sophie and Ji Jie didn't look so good-looking. It was a very private matter in the first place, but now the relationship with the Tan family is still so awkward. It's really embarrassing for such a conversation to be overheard.
Tan Yiqian returned to the private room, and the family was still enjoying themselves.
"Why did it take you so long to go to the bathroom?" Zhong Xinlan said to her daughter.
"Mom, guess who I just met?" Tan Yiqian said, looking at his mother and then at Tan Yixuan sitting opposite.
"Who do you see?" Zhong Xinlan is not that concerned. Most of the people who can come here to eat are acquaintances in the city.
"Feifei, I didn't expect that the Su family is also having New Year's Eve dinner here."
