"Father-in-law, Love Me Again (The Record of Love and Desire in Wushan)" - (XII) Plot Against

Three days after her unpleasant parting with Xu Minghuai, it was Monday again. Feng Nianzhen took the bus to work by herself and almost arrived late. Not long after arriving at the company, she was called into Chen Qiuyue's office.
"Nianzhen, I plan to have Manager Liu take you and Meng Jia with us on the cooperation project we're discussing in City B this time. Do you have any objections?"
She was somewhat surprised; for a newcomer who had only recently joined the company, having the opportunity to perform was naturally a good thing.
Chen Qiuyue continued, "Originally, you were a newcomer and should have had more time to get used to the daily work. However, I see that you are intelligent and quick-witted and can pick things up very quickly, so I wanted to use this opportunity to test you. I hope you won't disappoint me."
Nianzhen nodded, her chest slightly hunched. "Thank you for your trust, Manager. I'll go back and prepare properly."
"Wait a minute," Chen Qiuyue cleared her throat, adjusted her glasses, and looked at her, her gaze softening considerably. "I have something else I need to trouble you with."
"I'd like to invite your father-in-law to dinner and ask him about golf. The competition in society is getting increasingly fierce these days; without some skill to rely on, especially for women like us, it's simply impossible to survive."
Nianzhen was taken aback for a moment, then quickly put on a smile and said, "The manager's eagerness to learn is truly admirable. I'll ask my father-in-law about it for you later."
Chen Qiuyue checked her schedule and quickly made a decision: "How about the day after tomorrow? It's best to start studying early. You should also go back and prepare; we're leaving in three days."
"Okay... alright." Nianzhen agreed and left.
Chen Qiuyue clearly has those kinds of thoughts about her father-in-law. She's being so roundabout, and even pretending to want to learn golf. She's really putting on a good show. It's really hard on her.
Nianzhen inwardly scoffed at her, feeling a tightness in her chest. She hadn't spoken to Xu Minghuai for days; how was she supposed to bring it up now and coax him into having dinner with an old woman?
It must be said that Chen Qiuyue is a shrewd person. Her words just now were a way of telling herself that she was using her position to give Feng Nianzhen special treatment, and that Feng Nianzhen had no choice but to be involved in her relationship with Xu Minghuai.
Feng Nianzhen prepared a table full of dishes, all of which were Xu Minghuai's favorites, hoping to subtly express her goodwill towards him in this way.
He clearly received her signal, and his expression softened considerably.
After he went into the kitchen to rinse his mouth, Nianzhen hesitated for a moment before following him in, awkwardly leaning against the sink and looking at him.
"You..." She opened her mouth, but finally said, "Would you like to have dinner with one of my friends?"
Xu Minghuai slowly turned his gaze to her, and after a long while, he finally spoke: "Me? With what identity?"
Nianzhen stared at him without saying a word. Of course, he was his father-in-law; what else could he be...?
Xu Minghuai understood; he had overthought things, thinking that her willingness to introduce him to her friends meant she had come to terms with it.
Nianzhen guessed he had misunderstood, so she explained, "Actually, you know her too, she's Manager Chen. She has something to ask you." She added, "It's just a meal, nothing else."
"If you want to be a good daughter-in-law, just be a good one and don't interfere in other matters."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Nianzhen quickly covered his hand with hers. Just as she was about to say something, she saw Xu Zhenyang playing with his phone and coming in with his head down. She immediately withdrew and pretended to be nonchalant as she went out.
Although Xu Minghuai's words were harsh, his tolerance for Nianzhen was probably beyond his own control. The last time she confronted him so harshly, although it stung him, he later calmed down and understood that she was still young and had been spoiled by him, so it was reasonable for her to throw a little tantrum.
He was almost half a year older than her, so he wouldn't really hold a grudge against her. Therefore, he eventually attended the dinner party that Nianzhen had proposed.
As soon as Nianzhen and Xu Minghuai appeared, Chen Qiuyue got up to greet them: "The road must have been very congested. I don't know what you like to eat, so I don't dare to order."
Chen Qiuyue changed her usual simple and neat style, wearing a V-neck mesh see-through blouse and a fishtail pencil skirt, which perfectly accentuated her figure. Combined with her shoulder-length wavy hair and just the right amount of light makeup, she looked sexy without being vulgar, radiating a charming glow.
It's clear that she put a lot of thought into this dinner.
Nianzhen felt depressed and uneasy.
When the food and drinks were served, Xu Minghuai displayed his gentlemanly manners by first toasting Chen Qiuyue, saying, "Manager Chen, Nianzhen has received a lot of guidance and support from you. The little girl is quite spoiled, so thank you for taking care of her. As her father-in-law, I'd like to offer you a toast." As he spoke, he glanced indifferently at the woman beside him.
This man, always pampered and arrogant, was now speaking so humbly, it must be for her sake. Yes, even if she grew up to be independent, in his heart she would still be just a little girl. Nianzhen looked up, meeting his meaningful gaze. It felt as if her heart had been grasped, warm and tight. Her hand, resting on her lap, instinctively reached out. He seemed to sense this, opening his palm and taking hers.
Chen Qiuyue, of course, didn't notice the undercurrents beneath the table. She smiled sweetly and said, "Coach Xu, you flatter me. Nianzhen is outstanding in her work and very clever. I will definitely promote her if I have the opportunity. Just a few days ago, I gave her some pointers at work, and this girl knew that Coach Xu and I got along well, so she immediately arranged for us to have dinner together. Her cleverness is really endearing."
As the man listened, his expression gradually hardened.
Nianzhen also noticed that the hand that was holding hers suddenly let go.
This Chen Qiuyue is truly cunning. With just a few words, she turned the tables and reversed the situation of her pursuing the man. She made it sound as if she were a delicate and timid young woman, while Chen Qiuyue was the meddlesome matchmaker. She had received a favor from Chen Qiuyue, and now she was pushing her father-in-law to do favors for him.
Nianzhen glanced at Xu Minghuai guiltily, unable to explain her helplessness under Chen Qiuyue's gaze, and felt a burning hatred for her.
Just then, the phone in her bag rang twice. Nianzhen recognized it as a colleague from the company and quickly answered it.
Upon hearing this, she knew something was wrong. The spreadsheet she had prepared during the day was found to have incorrect data, and her boss needed it to conduct business negotiations the next day. She had to rush back to the company and redo it.
Nianzhen stood up awkwardly, explained the situation, and was in a hurry to leave. "Dad, you drank tonight. Don't drive yourself home. Find a designated driver."
She didn't get a response from him, and her heart sank, knowing that the man was truly angry this time.
Unable to manage both tasks simultaneously, Nianzhen hurriedly took a taxi back to the company. Her colleagues were already there, and they checked the information together.
It took them almost half an hour to go through the whole process, and the two of them sat in front of the computer looking at each other in bewilderment.
"That's right, every number matches!"
"Who told you the data was wrong? The boss?"
"No, no, Manager Chen just sent me a WeChat message saying there's an error in the data and asked me to call you back to correct it together."
...
Nianzhen then realized that Chen Qiuyue was probably annoyed that she was disturbing their time alone, and that she had been made a fool of by Chen Qiuyue again.
When Nianzhen returned home, Xu Minghuai had not yet come back, and the car he had driven away was not in the garage. On the contrary, Xu Zhenyang, unusually, had already taken a shower and was watching financial news.
Two people who've only met twice, do they really have so much to say? What kind of meal takes two or three hours? Are they going to end up in bed together while eating? Chen Qiuyue is clearly trying to seduce him, so what about him? What if he also has feelings for her? What kind of self-control does an older man have?
Once these thoughts surfaced, they lingered in her mind. The scene from that night's dream seemed to be playing out right before her eyes. The more Nianzhen thought about it, the angrier she became. She wanted to call him, and her hands were trembling with anger as she held her phone.
Just then, a loud "bang" came from outside. Nianzhen guessed that he had probably come back. She went out of the bedroom and saw no one there. Only the leaves of the money tree by the stairs were still trembling almost imperceptibly.
Later, she received a call from Chen Qiuyue. At the beginning of the call, Chen Qiuyue apologized, explaining that she had no other choice and hoped Nianzhen wouldn't take it to heart. Nianzhen outwardly remained polite, but inwardly she held a grudge.
She didn't have time to explain everything to Xu Minghuai before she boarded a plane to B City the next day.
City B is nearly 2,000 kilometers away from my home. It takes more than three hours to get there by plane. It is a well-known coastal tourist city in the north.
This business trip will last a week, which means she'll have to sacrifice her weekend and stay there until next Friday before she can return. She won't see Xu Minghuai for a whole week.
Is a week enough time for him to calm down? ...
