Come To My Side - Chapter 15
those days? what days? Want to say she’s on her period?
Guan Xi firmly rolled his eyes, isn’t it because there was a time when she was in pain, and he happened to be beside him.
She is not like that every month, and even if she is like that, he may not know all about it.
Where was Jiang Ergou during the aunt’s time? I’m afraid you can’t even see a shadow!
Guan Xi angrily knocked on the computer, and wanted to be tough, so he didn’t drink the coffee. But the mocha tasted so fragrant that the bitterness at the base of her tongue became more apparent.
Slowly, the stubbornness gradually dissipated in the fragrance… In the end, she reached out and took it, barely sipping the hot mocha that she was not satisfied with.
Jiang Suizhou had a panoramic view of her little entanglement, and when she took two sips and let out a soft sigh, the corner of her mouth twitched slightly.
The meeting has already started. Guan Xi is the general person in charge of Guan’s side, so I went up to talk about the direction of the project in general. After she finished speaking, the person in charge of each module went up to expand it in detail.
The meeting lasted for an hour and a half. Jiang Suizhou didn’t say anything during the whole process. He was obviously a hands-off shopkeeper, just to take a look at the overall progress.
Guan Xi listened carefully, and would also express some of his own opinions during the period. Her level of concentration can be said to be the highest in history, even Jiang Suizhou was a little surprised.
After the accident, she also vaguely understood, Xianyu kept her mouth shut, but Guan Ying’s appearance still put pressure on her.
At five o’clock in the afternoon, the meeting ended, and everyone got up and left.
During this meeting, Guan Ying was in a fog, and it was difficult to digest. She slowly packed her things and glanced at the empty mocha beside her.
When Guan Xi turned his head, he saw her eyes fixed and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Guan Ying was startled and looked away: “It’s nothing, do you want to go home?”
Guan Xi said, “I have an appointment, so I won’t go back for dinner. Do you have someone to pick it up?”
Guan Ying nodded: “Well, the driver should be here soon.”
“Okay.”
Guan Xi didn’t say much. After handing over the documents and computer to assistant Yang Qing, he walked out of the conference room with a small bag.
When they went downstairs, everyone took the same elevator, and Jiang Suizhou was there. He heard Guan Xi tell Guan Ying that she was not going home and had an appointment.
But he didn’t ask much. Between the two of them, there was very little daily interference with each other.
It’s just that when he left the hall and saw the person who had parked the car at the gate beckoning Guan Xi to pass, he inevitably frowned.
The person who came was Wei Xiuyang, Guan Xi’s cousin.
Jiang Suizhou knew that Wei Xiuyang didn’t like him, just like he didn’t like him.
“Let’s go first.” Guan Xi greeted him casually and slipped into Wei Xiuyang’s co-pilot.
Jiang Suizhou looked at Wei Xiuyang from a distance and walked to his seat.
The two were in a tight relationship, he always knew.

The royal blue sports car was driving on the road, and it was caught in the traffic flow shortly after hitting the road due to the traffic jam when it was just off work. At this moment, don’t even think about driving in this oppressive city.
“I want to eat something spicy.” Guan Xi tilted his head and looked at the endless traffic in front of him.
Their car followed closely in front, but a huge space was left behind. The distance between the rear car and their car is enough to fit another large off-road vehicle, however, no car dares to put it in.
The drivers behind all knew how much flesh they would have to cut after rubbing against the sapphire blue car in front of them.
Wei Xiuyang glanced at the rearview mirror and said, “Like?”
Guan Xi hesitated, struggled between fat and taste buds for a while, and finally said: “Have a hot pot, I haven’t eaten in a long time.”
Wei Xiuyang always listened to her: “Okay.”
Today Wei Xiuyang happened to meet with the partner nearby. After seeing Guan Xi’s circle of friends, he knew that she was having a meeting here, so he made an appointment for dinner.
Half an hour later, they sat down at a hot pot restaurant in a shopping mall nearby, because they really didn’t want to move slowly on the road.
This hot pot restaurant serves the food very fast. After serving, Wei Xiuyang took the colander and consciously took on the important task of serving the dishes.
“How are you getting along with Guan Ying recently?” Wei Xiuyang asked.
Guan Xi: “Well…it’s normal.”
“She doesn’t find you difficult to get along with?”
Guan Xi didn’t swallow the mutton roll, raised his eyes and glared at him: “What do you mean, why don’t you ask me if I find her difficult to get along with?”
“I don’t know if she is difficult to get along with, but your daily style, won’t people who just met you turn their backs?”
Guan Xi: “…” When indifference is going on.
Wei Xiuyang, as if he hadn’t seen it, poured a colander of fat cow into her bowl: “You’re the only one who I’ve known each other for many years before we can stand it.”
“roll.”
Wei Xiuyang smiled: “Oh, by the way, Guan Ying often goes to her grandparents’ house, you know.”
His grandparents are her grandparents.
“Oh, so what?”
Wei Xiuyang: “Isn’t it strange? Your grandparents and grandparents have a very weak relationship with you. You haven’t seen each other a few times throughout the year. How come they are here in Guanying? They seem to be very rare about this grandson.”
Wei Xiuyang didn’t know the truth and only felt puzzled.
But when she heard Guan Xi’s ears, she couldn’t understand it any more. She didn’t know why her grandparents didn’t like her before, but now she understands it very well. They are not uncommon for more than 20 years because they know that she is not close.
What is this.
How normal.
“Maybe people are well-behaved, and they like it.” Guan Xi said lightly.
Wei Xiuyang was even more puzzled: “Really?”
“Yes, yes, alright, don’t say this, let someone come over and slide the shrimp to me.”
“Oh.”
…
Guan Xi has a small appetite and is full after eating for a while. She put down her chopsticks and chatted with Wei Xiuyang while waiting for Wei Xiuyang to be full.
“Mr. Miss, this is the sweetheart of our store, welcome to taste it.” Suddenly, the waiter handed over a small snack.
Wei Xiuyang stopped his chopsticks and looked at the dish. A snack is placed on the plate, and a love is drawn with sweet sauce in the blank.
He raised his brows slightly and looked at the waiter: “I’m sorry, I haven’t ordered this dish.”
Wei Xiuyang was good-looking, and the little girl blushed with her micro-expression when she looked up: “Ah, it’s for you. Today is White Valentine’s Day, and both couples will give it.”
“Couple?” Guan Xi across the table laughed, “How do you judge whether it is a couple? A man and a woman eating together are a couple.”
The little girl was a little embarrassed: “Ah? You…are you not a couple? I’m sorry, sorry, then, this dish…”
“Let’s leave it alone, just take it as we are.” Wei Xiuyang smiled at the person, “Thanks.”
The little girl couldn’t resist his laughter, and left with a red face.
“As soon as you put it away, you’ll have to write the words ‘I’m so hot’ on your forehead.”
Wei Xiuyang ignored her, looked at the dish and said, “It looks pretty good.”
Guan Xi: “If you can’t get a dish from the big rebel, you can still treat us like it? Whoever is with you will take advantage of the hot pot restaurant.”
Wei Xiuyang: “Multiple dishes for free.”
Guan Xi glanced at him, and didn’t bother to scold: “It’s very sweet and greasy at first glance, I won’t eat it.”
Wei Xiuyang picked up the small fork and dug the small cake inside: “I’ll eat it.”

On the second Saturday, the seven-day countdown to the opening of Zhong Lingfan Bar will invite friends to come to the party to celebrate.
Jin Kaicheng dotes on his wife, and throwing a bar for her is to let her spend her time. His wife was eager to prepare a party, so he also made the bar look like a party venue, and invited a lot of honorable people to join in the fun.
The bar is in a very prosperous area. After a long staircase descends from the lobby on the first floor, there are still two floors below. The stone wall is unique. When it is officially opened, there will definitely be an illusion that people enter the Pansi Cave.
But it’s going to be a party rather than a bar scene, with bright lights and melodious music, and it’s not going to be so fiddly.
At nine o’clock in the evening, the party was already lively, and people came in groups of three and two, eating, drinking and chatting.
At this moment, Guan Xi, Zhong Lingfan and others were sitting and chatting in the bar booth.
“Your sister… When did your relationship with Wei Zihan become so good?” Zhong Lingfan motioned the two friends to look at the bar.
Guan Xi glanced at her: “Guan Ying often goes to my grandparents’ place recently, and may have been hooked up by the surname Wei accidentally.”
The matter of Guan Ying broke out some time ago, and Zhong Lingfan also knew about it, but she was newly married to Yan’er, and Guan Xi didn’t plan to take her affairs to her, so Zhong Lingfan didn’t know about Guan Xi’s adopted daughter.
Seeing this, he just said: “Xixi, doesn’t your sister know that you and Wei Zihan have been killing each other for many years?”
Guan Xi didn’t care, and said, “It’s her freedom who she makes friends with. Why do I let her stand in line?”
“That can’t let her be misled by Wei Zihan.” Zhong Lingfan said, “Really, I didn’t invite Wei Zihan, right? It must have been Jin Kaicheng who sent a message to the Wei family, and even she called her because of her bad mind. already.”
Guan Xi waved his hand: “Whatever, I will try my best to be patient today and not quarrel with her.”
Guan Xi eats a lot in the circle of the imperial capital. There are many acquaintances present today, and people keep coming over to say hello. After talking and laughing with everyone, she slipped out alone and went to the bar to be quiet.
Once at the bar, she asked the bartender to make her a margarita.
“Miss Guan.”
Guan Xi turned his head and saw a familiar person sitting across the two bar chairs. After Guan Xi recognized it, he politely said, “Mr. Xie, long time no see.”
This person was Xie Yan, whom she met at Song Li’s birthday banquet. In order to save his mobile phone, she jumped into the swimming pool that day.
Speaking of that time, they never saw each other again. Although they added WeChat later, they only said hello at the moment they added it, changed the remarks, and never talked again.
But she had always planned to chat with him because there was something she needed to cooperate with.
“Long time no see, how is Miss Guan recently?” Xie Yan asked politely
“That’s it.” Guan Xi thought about it and walked over: “How about you, have you been busy recently?”
“fine.”
“That’s a coincidence. I have something to do. I wonder if you’re interested?”
Xie Yan originally saw her coming and said hello politely, but she didn’t expect that she really had something to say. He was a little surprised: “What are you talking about?”
Guan Xi thought for a while and said, “I have long heard that you are very accomplished in interior design, and I have seen some of your works two days ago, and I like your style very much.”
Xie Yan’s face was soft, and he was neither proud of being praised nor too cold: “Really, that’s really my honor.”
“Don’t say that, it’s actually like this. Our company now has a project for a holiday villa. The interior design of the villa… I want to ask you to try it.”
Guan Xi said it directly, without any roundabout prefixes at all.
Xie delays doubts: “I haven’t received this content recently.”
Guan Xi understands that although Xie Yan has the strength of design, he mainly works in Xie’s management, and design can only be regarded as his advanced hobby at most. Pick it up if you like it, don’t pick it up if you don’t like it, it’s not a job at all.
Guan Xi: “It’s okay, don’t force it, I just want to try it out. Maybe I’ll send you some information later, and see if you’re interested?”
Xie Yan smiled lightly: “Yes.”
“real?”
Xie Yan nodded, quite refreshing: “Just send me WeChat when you look back.”
“Okay! I’ll send it to you tomorrow.”
…
“Guan Xi! Come here, Wei Xiuyang doesn’t admit that he lost to me—” After the two chatted for a while, Lang Ningyi suddenly called out to him not far away.
Guan Xi waved his hand over there, turned his head and said to Xie Yan, “Then I’ll go over first and talk about the project.”
“Row.”
Guan Xi didn’t expect Xie Yan to come to the party, so he solved the design problem of the resort, and he was very happy.
She took her glass of margarita and walked over to the booth.
“I had a good time chatting with Xie Yan.”
Walk past a scattered table and encounter an enemy.
Guan Xi glanced at Wei Zihan, remembered the “don’t quarrel with her” flag set up against Zhong Lingfan today, and chose to shut up and ignore it.
“Yes, of course you had a good time chatting with others.” Wei Zihan reached out and stopped in front of her, turned his head slightly to look at her, and said slowly, “After all… you are the same kind of people, cherish each other.”
Guan Xi suddenly froze and turned to look at her: “What do you mean?”
Wei Zihan smiled, the joke in his eyes seemed to be carrying a deadly toxin: “Guess what I mean.”
