Chapter 427
Jiang Yi really didn't expect the answer given by Lu Qingye.
How could a person who strives to do his best at work suddenly put aside his original schedule just to get home from get off work on time?
Jiang Yi seemed unwilling to believe his superficial answer for a while, so he lamented silently and couldn't help asking: "Did something happen at home?"
Lu Qingye raised his eyes and said calmly: "No."
"No?" Jiang Yi's expression was obviously more surprised than before, his brows were furrowed, and he asked curiously: "Then why are you in such a hurry to go home? You have to spare time for a meal?"
Jiang Yi tried to find a reasonable reason for Lu Qingye, but his guesses were overturned, which made him even more curious about the reason.
Lu Qingye raised his eyebrows, with a little joy in his eyes, and summed up Meng Chuyuan's words in the morning in an understatement: "Your sister-in-law asked me to work less overtime and go back early."
"Do you have any misunderstanding about this sentence?" Jiang Yi explained to him ruthlessly with visible helplessness between his brows: "She is asking you to work less overtime, and has no intention of asking you not to work overtime."
Lu Qingye raised his eyes and looked at him, with a hint of innocence in his eyes, "I know. Besides me, you can also accompany customers to eat this dinner."
It is precisely because he knows that he strictly said "try his best" to Meng Chuyuan this morning. He arranges non-urgent work and non-essential occasions for himself, and he will do whatever he can.
Lu Qingye has already made a judgment about tonight's dinner. He does not have to be present in person. Someone else can represent the company just as well.
Hearing this, Jiang Yi regretted that he had agreed too quickly, so he followed Lu Qingye's advice and smiled helplessly.
"I treat you as a brother, and you treat me as a tool! If we didn't have any friendship, we really wouldn't be able to do this." Jiang Yi stood up, and before leaving Lu Qingye's office, he said: " Just this time, I will help you next time and I will take your last name."
Thinking about Lu Qingye getting up early this morning to work overtime and helping to set up the annual meeting in the afternoon. Considering that he had been busy all day, Jiang Yi reluctantly accepted his "strike" in the evening.
Lu Qingye glanced at him, ignored his harsh words, and answered seriously: "You don't need to take my last name, I don't need a son."
“…” Jiang Yi’s silence at this time was deafening.
He was silent for a moment, with a hint of disgust at the corner of his mouth, and said to Lu Qingye in a cold voice: "There is no shortage of sons...it sounds like you have a son."
Lu Qingye: “…”

In the evening, Lu Qingye came home from get off work and happened to be in time for dinner.
Lin Youjuan: "Who is back?"
At this moment, Meng Chuyuan and the others were all eating in the restaurant. When they heard noise coming from the living room, everyone subconsciously looked outside.
After Lu Qingye heard this, he quickly responded: "It's me, Lu Qingye."
Meng Chuyuan looked at the wall clock which was not yet seven o'clock, then looked at Lu Qingye who had just entered the door, and asked curiously: "Why did you come back so early today?"
Lu Qingye walked in, looked at Meng Chuyuan with gentle eyes, and said softly: "I didn't work overtime tonight."
Meng Chuyuan said softly, but she didn't expect that he would come back quite early tonight.
"It's good not to work overtime." Lin Youjuan was very happy to hear that. She asked the housekeeper to bring a new pair of bowls and chopsticks, and then said to Lu Qingye: "Sit down and eat quickly."
Lu Qingye nodded in agreement, and then sat down next to Meng Chuyuan.
