Rules of Engagement novel Chapter 103

Jane was busy with their work and Elsa also had to go back to work. They did not have any mood to talk more and separated there for their own business.

In the afternoon, Elsa had an interview to attend, so she had to put her mother's matter aside for the time being.

The person involved in the interview was very difficult to communicate with. He swore to God that he would curse others if he thought something was wrong. In this news report, the person involved was supposed to ask the media for help when he encountered a problem, and Elsa was going to help him solve the problem, but he took her as if she was the one who made the mistake. The woman in front of her was about more than fifty years old. She was so arrogant that Elsa couldn't bear it. It took her a lot of time to deal with it, but if she did it well, she wouldn't have time to write the draft. She had to go back to work overtime at night to finish it.

Coincidentally, Soren came back with a lot of documents in the evening, saying that he needed to deal with them. After dinner, they all went to the study to work.

Seeing that her daughter and son-in-law were used to drinking coffee, Blanche made two cups of coffee and bring them in. She thought they were busy with their work. When she pushed open the ajar door, she found that the two were standing at the window, hugging each other. It was too late to get out of the door. Blanche was seen by Elsa.

This time, Elsa's face turned red. She was tired of working on the draft. She stood up and stretched, but was held by Soren, so they stood for a while. She didn't expect that her mother would run into her.

Blanche left in a hurry.

When Elsa finished her work, Soren was still busy. She followed her mother out, took a sip of the hot coffee and explained shyly, "Mom, I just finished my work and stood up for a while..."

"I know, I know." Blanche kept smiling.

With a red face, Elsa walked in, put down a cup of coffee and gave it to Soren. Then she walked out and said with a red face, "Mom, I have something to ask you."

"Why are you so serious?" Blanche was washing the fruits quickly. It was hot, and she had run for a whole afternoon. She could eat more fruits later to cool down.

"Mom, have you met aunt Ada?" Elsa asked straightforwardly.

The cherry in Blanche's hand fell to the ground and she picked it up in a hurry. While helping her pick it up, Elsa complained, "Why did you go to see aunt Ada at noon? I saw it when I went out for lunch with Janie."

"I... Well... " Blanche was caught red handed by her daughter, and she couldn't say any reason or excuse. "I just met her on the way... We're relatives. Why don't we greet each other? "

"Mom!" "Are you going to ask auntie Ada about my physical condition? Why do you always ask this and that when you meet an obstetrician? I am... I don't have any problem, okay?"

The more she said, the lower her voice became. After the operation that year, Blanche had been worried about her infertility. Ada was a doctor in obstetrics and Gynecology. Elsa was sure that her mother had gone to consult about it again.

Hearing her daughter's words, Blanche breathed a sigh of relief. Following her words, she said, "I just saw that you and Ren have been married for a long time and there is no movement in your belly. I'm a little anxious. I met Dr. Han, so I asked casually. I didn't mean to ask. "

"Mom!" Elsa blushed again, turned around and stamped her feet. "I won't talk to you anymore."

"Silly girl, don't be shy. Come on, have some fruits. Bring these to Ren. " Blanche felt relieved and changed the topic.

Elsa didn't take the cherries. "I won't eat them, you and dad can eat them."

"How old are you? Why are you still acting like a spoiled child?" Blanche touched her daughter's face and said lovingly, "Don't you like cherries the most?"

Then Elsa took it over and slowly went to the study to look for Soren. Soren happened to put away all the processed documents and asked with a smile, "Do you still use the computer?"

"No, thanks." Elsa handed the cherry to him.

Soren turned off the computer and put it into her bag. Elsa only had a laptop, which was used at home when she went to work. She took it with her in the morning and brought it back in the evening. Sometimes, she had to take it with her when she was in an interview, which was very inconvenient.

Soren smiled, "My mother happened to buy a new laptop, so I asked her to pick one for you and bring it here in two days."

"I have a computer. How can I let mom spend money again?" Every time they bought something, Elsa knew that she would make up for them and they never take it.

"I want to wait until there is a new computer. You can put this one in your office and the new one at home. You don't have to carry it back and forth every day."

Thinking of this, it was really convenient. Elsa nodded and said, "Then I have to thank mom."

Soren didn't like sweet food, nor did he like sour food. Seeing that Elsa was holding a fruit plate all the time, he picked up a cherry and put it into his mouth. Feeling sour, he frowned and looked at her with a bitter face. Seeing this, Elsa covered her mouth and laughed.

After taking a shower, she went to bed. She put on her glasses and read a book while eating the cherries in the fruit tray. Seeing Soren come in, she said, "Father and mother said they would leave tomorrow."

"Why don't they stay a few more days?" Soren wanted to keep Xia clan's parents. With them around, Elsa was in a much better mood and state of mind.

"Mom's class is about to be tutored after class. She'll be busy as soon as the school begins."

Seeing that she was reluctant for them to leave, Soren stretched out his hand and rubbed her hair. He had also asked Johnson and Blanche to move to Linchuan City after retiring, but his parents refused. They had lived in YC County for so many years and the whole life and friends were there. If they came to Linchuan City, they would definitely feel lonely.

She couldn't be too selfish to ignore the elders' own life just to satisfy her own mood.

Elsa knew this better. Even if she was reluctant her parents to leave, she could do nothing about it.

On the second day, Elsa didn't have lunch. She passed by a jade shop and went in to have a look. Her mother was sixty years old this year. It was her animal year. Elsa had said for a long time that she would buy some jade to celebrate the fate of her year for her mother, but had not the time to buy it.

She picked a good Nephrite jade for a long time and bought it with a generous style. After thinking for a while, she bought a more fashionable and younger bracelet and walked out with satisfaction.

She came out to have a simple meal and walked into a fast restaurant to order. She happened to meet Fred and his secretary, who were also having a simple lunch. Fred still kept a straight face, as if the smile he saw Johnson and Blanche that night was an illusion.

He waved his hand solemnly to call Elsa over. Ignoring her refusal, he asked his secretary to pay the bill for her.

Elsa sat in front of him stiffly. He took a look at the food that she ordered, a vegetable salad, a glass of juice and an ice-cream. He frowned slightly and said, "Your taste is similar to Susie's."

Elsa noticed that he always mentioned Susie intentionally or unintentionally. In fact, no matter how hard he tried to hide, she felt that she could see his feelings for Susie. But since he loved her so much, why did he give up so easily?

"Are you feeling better?" Fred asked seriously, as she was lost in various fancies and conjectures

"Much better." Looking at Fred, she didn't have much to talk about, so she kept eating salad.

"Ren just a little boy. He doesn't know how to take care of people. You have to learn to take care of yourself," Fred said again.

Elsa couldn't help laughing. Soren was good at taking care of people, but as a father, he didn't know that. Seeing that she kept smiling, Fred asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"Actually..." Elsa was thinking for a better way to express herself. "Actually... Ren always mention you. "

"What did he say?" Fred asked.

This time, Elsa didn't know what to say. After the conversation with Soren last time, he showed that he wanted to improve the relationship with the Wang clan, so she just wanted to convey this will to get closer to the relationship between the father and son, but she really couldn't find a specific word to say.

Fred snorted, as if he was saying, "I knew it. He won't mention me."

Elsa didn't want to make a fool of herself, so she stopped talking. After dinner, Fred said, "Wait a minute." Then he called his secretary over and whispered in her ear.

It seemed that she had gone to fetch something for Elsa. Since she was thinking that he must want to give something to Soren, and it was not appropriate for her to refuse, so she had to wait quietly.

After a while, his secretary came back and handed him the document. "Here are two tickets. Take them," said Fred, handing them to Elsa.

Elsa took it over and saw two tickets of the football match. As a super star team from Italy came to China, it happened to be a friendly match with a football team from Linchuan City, so this football heat spread everywhere recently. Even non fans like Elsa were familiar with the time and place of the match.

"Ren like it. You can go and have a look." Fred stood up and was about to leave.

Elsa stood up in a hurry. "Dad, why don't you go with Ren? I... I mean, you can definitely find something to talk about. After all, it's a man's game. "

"I have bought many tickets, but he has never been there. Now he has you with him, he wouldn't even need an old man like me. " After saying that, Fred strode away without looking back.

Elsa stood still, holding the ticket in her hand, speechless.

In the evening, Blanche repeatedly reminded Elsa not to save money, not to save money, and to be good to herself. Then he warned her to live a rich and stable life now, but she couldn't be too extravagant. It was easy to turn from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to turn from extravagant to frugal. It made her feel a little sad that she wanted to laugh all the time. As parents, they always worried too much in all aspects.

When they were about to get on the plane, Blanche whispered in Elsa's ear, "You're not young anymore. If you want a child, you should have it."
