In the evening, after returning to the hotel, Yun Si was about to hit Tong Wen again.
Tong Wen immediately crouched down and covered her face, "Please don’t hit me, and even if you do, don’t hit my face. I have to pick up my parents at the station tomorrow."
Yun Si paused when he heard her say this, retracted his hand, and left with a cold snort.
He didn’t return all night.
Tong Wen breathed a sigh of relief and prayed silently that the devil would lose interest in her and let her go.
Unexpectedly, Yun Si came back in the morning and said rather gently, "I’ll go with you to pick them up. Hmm, how do you plan to settle them?"
Tong Wen’s eyes flickered as she thought about lying but ended up telling the truth, "Chuyue has already picked out a shop for them. After picking them up, we’ll go to the shop first and then have a family dinner at Medicinal Food Hall at six in the afternoon."
Yun Si smiled while propping his chin, "You’re saying that Meng Chuyue is going to give your parents a welcoming meal? It seems you two indeed have a good relationship. I misunderstood you before, and I apologize. Hmm, I’ve just got back and am looking to do business but don’t know where to start. Can you talk to Meng Chuyue and have her give me the qualifications to place orders with her clothing company?"
He couldn’t get through to Shen Ci and the cooperation wasn’t working out, but he had to connect with them somehow.
He didn’t believe that they would refuse him just because he was buying stock from Meng Chuyue’s company.
Hmm, if they didn’t refuse, then he would be considered their collaborator too.
With such a thing, if you have one, you don’t worry about having a second, and if you have a second, you don’t worry about a third.
After a while, if the cooperation is enjoyable, there are other possibilities.
Tong Wen felt that Yun Si’s request wasn’t too much and agreed, "Okay, I will put in a good word for you."
Before her parents set off, Tong Wen had already told them about her "relationship" with Yun Si.
She had no choice but to tell them because that damn Yun Si wouldn’t allow her to keep it a secret.
To avoid worrying her parents, she had to lie, saying they were in a relationship.
She also talked about Yun Si’s family background.
Heir of a famous medical family in Imperial...
Upon hearing this, Tong’s parents were shocked: They were commoners, how could such an heir be interested in Tong Wen?
Could there be something wrong with him?
Helpless, Tong Wen related Xia Ping and Song Enshu’s situation to her parents and said, "...Don’t forget, I am now a student at Imperial University, worthy of anyone."
Only then did Tong’s parents feel relieved.
Indeed, a student from a top institution like that could match anyone, right?
Meng Chuyue and Shen Ci personally went to the station to pick Tong’s parents up, giving Yun Si a new understanding of Tong Wen and Meng Chuyue’s friendship: Their relationship was genuinely good.
Moreover, Mr. Tong, Mrs. Tong, and Meng Chuyue got along very intimately and naturally; it was clear they had an especially good relationship.
So, he didn’t need to worry and could just comfortably keep up his association with Tong Wen.
When Tong’s parents saw Yun Si, their hearts tensed up simultaneously: Why did he seem to be a flippant, nefarious character, not a good person?
They kept this feeling to themselves until they saw that Long Yue also carried a flippant demeanor, which eased their minds a bit.
They had never met Long Yue before but had heard countless times from Shen Ci and Meng Chuyue that he was a good kid.
If Long Yue could be a good kid, so could Yun Si, and Tong’s parents decided to observe for now.
No, even if they weren’t completely satisfied, given Tong Wen’s character, they couldn’t oppose her.
Children and grandchildren have their own fortunes; they decided to just play the fool.
Today is already the sixteenth of the last lunar month, and in just a few days, it will be Xia Ping and Song Enshu’s wedding.
Everyone is in high spirits.
However, Song Enshu and Xia Ping have indeed been busy these few days and seldom visited Medicinal Food Hall.
Therefore, taking advantage of today’s welcome meal for Tong’s parents, Meng Chuyue and Shen Ci invited everyone over for a family dinner.
Among the dishes were some personally made by Meng Chuyue, a gimmick that attracted everyone, and all who received the invitation came early.
Xia Family’s parents were even more enthusiastic; they abandoned their business and came early.
