"Bo Nan?" The man let go, and Mrs. Zhou was already unhappy. As a result, the name was wrong, "Isn't it the young master Bai Wen?"
Mrs. Ye was very calm, "I blame me for not asking clearly. My youngest son Bowen has a girlfriend, and my eldest son Bonan is single."
Mrs. Zhou looked solemn, "I remember he got engaged last year."
"They were engaged. The woman's appearance and education were good, but she was an illegitimate daughter. Her mother only recognized her ancestors after her death. The Ye family was kept in the dark at first, but later they learned the inside story and broke off the engagement."
When Mrs. Ye mentioned that marriage, she looked displeased and said, "Outdoor wives are not allowed to be on the stage. Illegitimate girls can only be married to illegitimate children, not the children of the original wife. This is the rule."
Cheng Xi was cleaning the tea cups at the side.
Wealthy families have a chain of contempt, and illegitimate children are at the bottom. Some traditional wealthy families would rather marry commoner women than illegitimate ones, and their family traditions are not correct. Even if you get married, you won't hold a wedding, and you won't be included in the family tree. You should be as despised as possible.
The Ye family has money. They don't care about money anymore, they care about reputation. The threshold for a daughter-in-law must be the daughter of the first wife.
"Bo Nan and Xi'er are ten years apart..." Mrs. Zhou was worried, "He is one year older than Jing Chen!"
Mrs. Ye didn't care very much, "I'll lead the way first. Whether we can chat or not is up to them."
"Xi'er is indeed an only child, but her situation..." Mrs. Zhou hesitated, "Does Mr. Ye agree? Bonan is the eldest son after all."
Mrs. Ye tasted the fragrance of the tea and said, "Lao Ye and I have no objection."
Mrs. Zhou sensed the key, "What about Bonan?"
"The Ye family decides on his marriage."
Cheng Xi finished pouring the tea and sat down obediently.
The eldest son, eldest daughter-in-law, and eldest grandson are the most noble and authentic members of a wealthy family. If you want to inherit the family business in the future, you must choose from thousands of people who are well-matched. She is not qualified.
The only reason why Mrs. Ye praises her is because of the Zhou family.
They were also unsure of her importance in the hearts of Zhou Huaikang and his wife, so the eldest son did not show up, and Mrs. Ye took the lead to find out the details.
"Xi'er, will you meet with Bonan some other time?" Mrs. Zhou tested her tone.
Cheng Xi pursed his lips, not wanting to refuse openly, as he seemed too disrespectful, "I usually go to class for internship and don't have days off, so I'm afraid it will delay Mr. Ye..."
"What time do you finish class and where do you work? If Bonan is free, he can pick you up." Mrs. Ye smiled and turned the topic to Mrs. Zhou, "Xi'er looks good and your two families are friends. Why? Didn’t you consider her as your daughter-in-law?”
As if a big rough hand was pinching her, Cheng Xi sat upright suddenly.
Mrs. Zhou waved her hands quickly as if she had heard a big joke, "Xi'er is Jingchen's younger sister. He has watched her grow up, but Jingchen has no such idea."
Cheng Xi curled his fingers, but they were so stiff that he could hardly bend them.
The sound echoed over and over again in his ears - he had no such idea.
She knew it too.
But it stung a little.
Fortunately.
She braked in time and returned to her original position.
Not in too deep.
During the dinner, Cheng Xi always felt a pair of eyes staring at her, and her back felt as cold as if she had been rolled in a fire or soaked in an ice cave, and her hair was getting hot and cold.
She glanced at the opposite compartment. Zhou Jingchen was a gentleman and helped the woman peel off the fish bones. The fish meat was completely placed on the dinner plate. The woman smiled meekly. She would eat whatever he put in the dish.
Trying to cater to him.
He is also focused.
Cheng Xi breathed a sigh of relief. He was too sensitive.
Zhou Jingchen didn't have any extra thoughts to care about others.
Cheng Xi went to the bathroom in the box while eating, and when he came out there was another person, Qin Shang.
Qin Shang is a sports student and a well-known rich second generation in the school. Cheng Xi and two classmates are interning in his family's company. The Qin family has already achieved financial freedom, but they still grovel before the Zhou family.
The top wealthy businessmen in their circle are not qualified to join the Zhou family's circle.
Qin Shang was in a daze. He didn't expect to meet Cheng Xi here. He didn't understand his identity and didn't dare to say hello rashly.
"The Qin family's factory is doing well. I have an impression." Mrs. Zhou suddenly spoke to him. He came to his senses hastily and bumped Cheng Xi's chest with his elbow.
Cheng Xi was about to pour tea when a pot of tea poured on the front of his shirt.
"It's not burned, is it?" Mrs. Zhou frowned.
"No, the water is warm." She took the carton and turned her back to pack it.
Mrs. Zhou dislikes young people who are impetuous and arrogant, and their expressions are not very good-looking.
The shirt is thin and transparent, and after it is soaked with water, the half-curved shape and color of the underwear are faintly visible.
Cheng Xi folded his arms to cover up.
A waiter walked in quietly now, half-bent, "Mr. Zhou asked me to deliver clothes."
She was stunned and leaned back to look at the other side.
Zhou Jingchen also went to the bathroom. He just sat down and held a glass of red wine. He didn't drink a sip, just shook it. The woman talked about hobbies and study abroad experiences. He responded from time to time. He was not enthusiastic or cold-hearted, and he had a comfortable sense of proportion between the opposite sex.
He even spared Cheng Xi a look.
I really don't know how he found out that her chest was wet.
The clothes were vests and overalls, and Cheng Xi buttoned them up just enough to block the area where they had sex.
"Mr. Zhou asked me to send you a message." The waiter leaned down and whispered, "I wish you a successful blind date."
Cheng Xi thumped.
It's a nice blessing, but it sounds eerie.
Don't seem to have any deep meaning.
"Mrs. Zhou." Qin Shang's attitude was flattering, "My father is also entertaining clients in Mingyuan. Should I ask him to go upstairs for a toast?"
"No need." Mrs. Zhou didn't look directly at Qin Shang and pointed it out directly, "It's for bidding, right? There are formal procedures for choosing which factory to cooperate with. Jingchen has an appointment now, so don't go to him."
Qin Shang sneered, and after some polite remarks, he left in embarrassment.
As he walked forward, Cheng Xi received a call from the department director, asking her to return to school quickly.
The soaked skirt was basically dry. She handed the vest to the waiter and explained to Mrs. Zhou in a low voice, "Aunt Zhou, there are classes at school, and I can't ask for leave."
Without the husband, the meal was meaningless, and Mrs. Zhou did not keep her.
Cheng Xi walked out of the box, and the elevator door happened to have just closed. She ran quickly and pressed the button, and the door slowly opened again.
Zhou Jingchen stood under a bunch of white lights.
He is not very approachable and has a somewhat gloomy aura.
Even though they were silent there, they were still awe-inspiring and impossible to look away from.
Cheng Xi paused.
I didn't even notice when he ended the date.
Zhou Jingchen glanced at her, "Can't you come up?"
She stepped inside.
The air in the sealed elevator car was not circulating, and it smelled like Zhou Jingchen.
"Did the conversation go well?" He said unexpectedly.
Cheng Xi was in a bad mood and whispered in a low voice, "The man is not here."
"Not satisfied with you?"
She stared at the shadow on the elevator door, "Are you satisfied with the blind date?"
"generally."
Cheng Xi fell silent.
Zhou Jingchen has strict requirements on everything in life, and he is very satisfied with very little, only average and dissatisfied.
If it reaches the average level, it will most likely be able to continue to develop.
"Congratulations." She held it in for a long time before holding back three words.
Zhou Jingchen put his hands in his pockets and stared at her from the elevator door, "Have you made another appointment?"
"Um."
"The Ye family took the initiative?"
It’s hard to say who took the initiative. It didn’t happen this time. Out of politeness, I will definitely make another appointment.
Cheng Xi said, "Let nature take its course."
"It seems you are quite satisfied."
I don't know if it was her imagination, but Zhou Jingchen's voice was filled with a subtle chill.
When the elevator reached the first floor, Cheng Xi went out first. He asked from behind, "Who is the man in the denim jacket?"
She stopped and said, "That's my classmate."
The spherical colored lights in the hall rotated, and the neon light shone on Zhou Jingchen's face. He found it dazzling and turned his head to avoid it.
"Ye Bonan is more outstanding than his younger brother. If you marry him, you are considered to be married."
