Chapter 160 - Conspiracy

"Zhuoen is done with the phone call, huh?" Xu Peiyun smiled and looked at her, "Mom is using this phone to call my friend and tell her that the landlord's phone is still left here, she asked me to just deliver it to her, I filled in her address wrong once before, this time I said I would not fill it in wrong." She explained to her.

"So that's how it is!" When Li Zhuoen heard her explanation, she didn't think much about it.

Xu Peiyun picked up the phone again and pretended to say to her "friend": "I'll deliver the phone to you tomorrow, it's too late today, get some rest!" With that, she hung up the phone.

"Why did you finish the phone call with Yuhao so soon?" After hanging up the phone, Xu Peiyun asked her again.

"It's not like I'm in love, I'll hang up when I'm done with things." Although Li Zhuoen said so, the smile on her face can not be concealed.

"You said that, but your face smiling like a flower." Xu Peiyun said with a smile.

"I'm not!" Li Zhuoen felt more embarrassed the more she said.

"But I'm really sorry, Zhuoen, if it wasn't for my leg injury, you wouldn't have been separated from Yuhao, mom is very sorry in her heart." Xu Peiyun had a very self-condemned expression.

"Mom, don't say that, it's my responsibility to take care of you, don't think too much about it!" Li Zhuoen advised.

"In fact, mom's leg is really almost well, or you can go back to live tomorrow, there is Xiao Gui here, there will not be anything serious." Xu Peiyun said again.

"I know that Xiao Gui is very serious and responsible in taking care of you, but when an elder is injured, the younger generation must also take care of you personally, besides, Xiao Gui is mainly responsible for taking care of you while I am at work, after I return from work, of course, I have to take care of you personally." Li Zhuoen cherished this familial love that she had lost and found.

"I'm really glad to have a daughter like you!" Xu Peiyun pretended to be touched.

"I'm a little embarrassed you said that." Li Zhuoen smiled at her. She hadn't had that strange dream since she found her mother, and she felt lucky to see the person in her dream actually appear in reality and be so close to her.

"It's getting late, hurry up and rest, you still have to go to work tomorrow." Xu Peiyun said thoughtfully.

"Good." Li Zhuoen replied, walked to the other side of the bed, lifted the quilt, and then laid down.

The next day, she was not as busy as yesterday morning because she had Xiao Gui to help her. Worried about running into Su Yucheng again, she deliberately left earlier than yesterday, and also first observed his door at the entrance, to make sure he did not go out at this time, then hurriedly opened her own door and walked out.

Fortunately, she didn't see him on the way. When she got downstairs very smoothly and saw Cen Yuhao's car, she was relieved, this time she came down alone as she said on the phone last night!

"Not bad, it does seem to be very obedient!" Cen Yuhao was in a pleasant mood when he saw her walking out of the building alone.

"I was already very obedient, right!" Li Zhuoen's mouth slipped out, and then reacted, he meant to say usually she's troublesome, right!

At this point, the driver also went around the front of the car and sat in the driver's seat.

"What do you mean by 'obedient indeed'! I'm not a dog, so why should I be described as obedient or not!" She asked angrily.

"You said that yourself." The corners of Cen Yuhao's mouth had the hint of a smile.

Uh, it seems like she's admitting she's a dog if she says that? "Cen Yuhao, you're deliberately winding me up, aren't you!"

"Didn't you say this all by yourself? What's the point of blaming me?" Cen Yuhao looked very innocent.

"If you're not to blame, who is!" She crossed her small waist. Ouch, she originally thought she should be able to hear a little sweet talk today, but it seems she really thought too much!

The two of them just you say, I say, carry the bar to the downstairs of the company. Because things are very busy on the group side these days, Cen Yuhao just watched her walk out of the car and then let the driver drive away.

In the afternoon, Li Zhuoen was busy when she heard her cell phone ringing and looked at it, it was calling from a landline.

"Hello?" She said as she typed her papers, holding the phone between her head and shoulder.

"Zhuoen ah, it's me." Xu Peiyun sat in the living room, holding the microphone of the landline.

"So it's you mom, what's up?" Hearing that it was her mother's voice, Li Zhuoen took her hand off the keyboard and then picked up her phone.

"It's like this, I rested for a while, I feel that my ankle is no longer a big problem, and it doesn't hurt to walk, so you'd better go back to stay at the Cen family tonight." Xu Peiyun over there said.

"It's better to talk about it in two days, how can I feel at ease when you are like this." Li Zhuoen was still relieved.

"It's really okay, ask Xiao Gui if you don't believe me, I'm walking like a normal person!" Xu Peiyun glanced at Xiao Gui who was busy at the side, then continued, "Newlyweds shouldn't be separated for too long."

"But ......" Li Zhuoen still has some concerns.

"It's a deal!" Xu Peiyun settled in one breath, "But I want to thank the Cen family properly, after you get off work today, go with me to the mall, I want to buy them a little something."

"Mom, they even own the mall, so how come they have something missing?" Li Zhuoen said.

"No matter what, it's a little bit of my heart, if I don't send anything, I always feel sorry for myself." Xu Peiyun said again.

"Or else I'll go buy it, and you can just wait at home." Li Zhuoen came up with a compromise.

"That's not okay! I said it's a small token of my appreciation, so how can I call it a gift from me if I don't pick it out myself?" Xu Peiyun explained.

"Okay, then I'll go back to pick you up after work." She thought about it and agreed to come down.

"No, after you get off work later, just wait for me outside that mall near your company, I'll take a taxi there. Also, don't tell Yuhao yet, I'm afraid he won't want our money if he sees us shopping at the mall." Xu Peiyun was setting her up little by little.

"Okay, then I won't tell him first." Li Zhuoen felt that what her mother said also made sense, so she nodded in response.

After hanging up the phone, Li Zhuoen called Cen Yuhao again and told him that she was going shopping with her colleagues this afternoon, so he didn't have to come to pick her up. Cen Yuhao didn't think much of it and answered, then barked a few words at her and closed the line.

After work, Li Zhuoen walked in the direction of the mall, as her mother had said, and the company was only a ten-minute walk from there.

As she walked along the road, she started to blush again thinking that she would be able to go back with Cen Yuhao tonight and that she would probably have a good time with him in bed again. Since when did she look forward to doing that kind of thing so much? She suddenly reacted and quickly patted her face, it seems that she had been influenced by Cen Yuhao recently, she was obviously such a pure girl ah!

"Zhuoen!" From a distance, Xu Peiyun waved at her and called out.

Li Zhuoen looked up to see her mother standing in a very visible place outside the mall. She smiled at her and ran in her direction.

"Have you been here for a long time?" Li Zhuoen asked, running to her side and smiling at her.

"No, I've just come for a while, it's getting late, let's hurry up and go shopping!" Xu Peiyun said, took her hand, and walked in the direction of the mall entrance.

This time the shopping went very well, only half an hour, she picked out all the gifts for everyone.

"I really didn't expect it to go so well this time!" Carrying a few packages out, Xu Peiyun said happily.

"Yes, you are really fast and accurate in choosing things!" Li Zhuoen stretched her thumb towards her. The gifts she bought for everyone this time, she thought they were all picked out appropriately!

"It's just a lucky day." Xu Peiyun said. In fact, these were all things she had already picked out a long time ago.

"Yucheng, you're too boring, today is your birthday, are you really going to spend it alone?" Feng Wancheng, the manager of the operations department of the same company, looked at Su Yucheng pretending not to understand.

"I'm really sorry, I'm not really in the mood to eat today." Su Yucheng said back.

"Yucheng, you're being too disrespectful, aren't you? At least we've been working together for so long, and you've hardly ever eaten with us!" Another person echoed.

"That's right! If you don't invite us this time, you're the one who's looking down on us!" A man next to him joined in.

"This ......" Su Yucheng was in a difficult position. In fact, he does not like to entertain at all, not to mention that after so many things have happened, how can he still be in that mood? The birthday reminded him of his mother, so he didn't want to go, but these people seemed to want him to treat them today, so he couldn't push them away.

"Isn't that Xiao Su?" Xu Peiyun asked, pointing at Su Yucheng, who was not far away and standing with several other men.

Hearing his mother's words, Li Zhuoen looked over in the direction of her finger. Sure enough, she saw him standing with several other men. Although he was surrounded by them, his outstanding appearance coupled with his height made her recognize him from those men at a glance.

"It really seems to be him! Let's go over and say hello to him!" Xu Peiyun said, and before Li Zhuoen could pull her back, she was already walking over in their direction.

"Xiao Su ah, what a coincidence, you guys are here shopping too?" Xu Peiyun asked as she walked over and looked at him with a smile.

"Auntie, why are you here too?" Su Yucheng looked surprised to see her.

"I came with my daughter to do some shopping." Xu Peiyun said, turning around and pointing to Li Zhuoen who was walking behind them in their direction.

"Hi!" Li Zhuoen greeted him a little awkwardly.

"What a coincidence!" Not expecting to meet her unexpectedly here, Su Yucheng felt that this was the best birthday present for him.

"Xiao Su, what are you guys planning to do?" Xu Peiyun asked again.

"Auntie, today is Yucheng's birthday and we are planning to go to celebrate his birthday!" Feng Wancheng, who was on the side, explained to her.

"So today is Xiao Su's birthday!" Hearing his words, Xu Peiyun made a very surprised expression, "Xiao Su, happy birthday oh!"

"Thank you, auntie!" Su Yucheng bowed slightly towards her.

"Happy birthday!" Li Zhuoen thought of his birthday, to not bless a word of words, really can not, so she also said a word to him.

"Thank you!" Hearing her blessing for himself, Su Yucheng smiled from the bottom of his heart.

"Since we all know each other, why don't we go together to celebrate for Yucheng? More people will always be more lively." Feng Wancheng suggested.

"No......" Li Zhuoen's words of refusal were interrupted by Xu Peiyun's words before she could say them.

"That also depends on whether Xiao Su invites us or not." Saying that Xu Peiyun looked over in Su Yucheng's direction.

"If auntie wants to go, of course, I am very welcome." Su Yucheng didn't know how to refuse her, so he could only nod his head in agreement.

"Mom!" Li Zhuoen pulled her arm at the side.

"This beauty, let's go together!" Feng Wancheng pushed them towards their car parked aside without any further ado, "Yucheng rarely treats us, of course, we have to find a more expensive place!"
