Cheng Xi turned his head and met Ye Bonan's eyes.
He pointed to the door of the cafe and motioned for her to come out.
"The eldest son of the Ye family?" Hu Sheng also knew him, "Didn't you miss him?"
The circle of power and wealth is both big and small. As long as there is no corruption or bankruptcy, the big names are basically fixed. Ye Bonan and Zhou Jingchen have been single for many years and are the favorites in the eyes of the elders. There are many high-quality women in the circle. , high-quality young men have always been "more monks and less meat", so not only the second-generation ladies of the red, official, and business circles, but also the second-generation young men also know their troubles.
The young masters from the Zhou and Ye families picked what was left, and then it was the other young masters’ turn to choose.
Even if the rest are extremely popular, if you don't select one of the elite women from a million, you won't have a chance to contact them.
Therefore, Mrs. Zhou successfully intercepted the Hu family's son. Cheng Xi and Ye Bonan had a blind date, and it ended peacefully, which proved that both parties had enough dignity. She was famous among the second-generation ladies.
"Has he regretted it?" Hu Changzhang has a mixed-race face. He must have gone too crazy for fun, and his expression is irritable, which is quite annoying.
Cheng Xi did not leave immediately out of politeness, but took the initiative to clean up the mess, "Do you disagree, or do I disagree?"
"You are not willing to marry?" Hu Sheng raised his eyebrows, "I told you my secret, and you are telling it everywhere? I am the only son of the Hu family. If it is exposed, won't my plan to continue the family line be ruined? Which woman would marry me?"
"I don't talk nonsense." Cheng Xi said sincerely, "I haven't heard a word about your private affairs."
"Where are you lying?" Hu Sheng simply showed his true face, "You are using the name of the Zhou family, but you are actually the driver's daughter. I don't dislike you. You won't suffer a loss by marrying me! If you have money to spend, you can act with me outside. That’s it, you overestimate your own conditions, right?”
Cheng Xi ignored him, picked up her bag and went out.
Hu Sheng became angry and chased her for a few steps. He found that she was looking for Ye Bonan, so he stopped chasing her. He passed her in a Rolls-Royce and raised his middle finger. Cheng Xi didn't see clearly what the mouth shape was.
Probably a threat.
Not far away, Ye Bonan was standing on the steps holding a black umbrella. Snowflakes were blowing slantingly under the umbrella. His black windbreaker was covered with white frost. The thick black and white snow looked really cool and beautiful.
The street was filled with traffic flowing from north to south, and horns were honking one after another. He quietly admired the snow, waiting for her, which was contradictory yet perfectly integrated with the noisy fireworks.
Cheng Xi walked over and called him, "Mr. Ye."
He turned sideways and said, "Ye Bonan."
She did not change her words, "Did you receive the envelope?"
"received."
Inside the envelope was four thousand dollars and a four-digit pen.
The money was donated by him while she was playing mahjong in Huiyuan, and the pen was a meeting gift. The brand of his jade pendant was relatively niche. Cheng Xi didn't know the price, so he had to buy a pen. It was a very practical gift for business people to sign their signatures in the office. Unlike watches and ties with special meanings, which may cause him to misunderstand.
"Hu Sheng." Ye Bonan paused for a second, "Is this your new blind date?"
"Aunt Zhou introduced me."
He looked cautious and weighed it, "I have no intention of offending you or revealing other people's privacy. I just happened to remind you."
The door of the coffee shop opened and closed, and the tile floor was slippery. The customer fell down and bumped into Cheng Xi. Ye Bonan stretched out his hand to protect her.
"Hu Sheng is not suitable to be a husband." He thought for a long time and squeezed out eight words.
If Cheng Xi hadn't known the inside story, at first glance, I wouldn't have been able to tell what Ye Bonan meant.
She nodded, "Thank you for the reminder."
Ye Bonan was afraid that she wouldn't understand, so he tried to make it clearer, "He is not suitable for women, don't delay your life."
"Thank you." Cheng Xi promised Hu Sheng not to talk nonsense, so he had to honor it. Ye Bonan was free to talk and she couldn't talk.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to the cake shop to buy toast."
Ye Bonan glanced at the parking space beside the road, "Is there your car?"
"I just finished my driver's license test..." She was embarrassed, "The weather is bad and I don't dare to drive on the road."
"My car broke down and the driver is repairing it. He will take you to the cake shop first and then take you home." Ye Bonan was very generous and a gentleman. Cheng Xi understood that he was making up for it.
The more considerate and considerate he is, the less able Mrs. Zhou is to blame the Ye family. Instead, she wants to maintain a friendly relationship with Mrs. Ye and show the style of the Zhou family.
"Actually, you don't have to be like this." She felt even more embarrassed, "There are successes and failures in blind dates. No one owes anyone anything."
Ye Bonan laughed and said, "Can I ask the reason for the failure?"
Cheng Xi couldn't help but frown.
This man shouldn't be a man who shirks his responsibility. It's clear that he didn't like her, but he passed the blame to the woman.
If he had this idea, there was no need to change her position. It would be easiest to remind her that Hu Sheng had a problem and pretend that they didn't know each other.
Cheng Xi said, "There is a high probability that they are not compatible, or that the old relationship is unforgettable."
Ye Bonan was silent.
Before the meeting, the Ye family also investigated Cheng Xi's private life. It was as clean as a blank slate. He had never even had a meal with a boy in high school or college. His track included going to school, working part-time, going to a nursing home, and returning to the Zhou family's old house.
The only rumor was that a luxury car was driving her around recently, and Mrs. Ye also found out that the owner of the luxury car was Zhou Jingchen, not a so-called wealthy old man. Cheng Xi's love history was absolutely innocent.
Ye Bonan has no virginity complex. He respects the girl's past, but he cares about whether the girl is promiscuous and loyal to her partner.
"It must be a pity to have an unforgettable old relationship." He tilted more than half of his umbrella towards Cheng Xi, "Why are we not together?"
Cheng Xi remembered that Ye Bonan broke off the engagement because the woman was an illegitimate daughter. As for herself, it was because of the reality that she could not overcome.
So he answered ambiguously, "I guess the fate is not enough."
There is someone in her heart.
Can not forget.
That's why I didn't like him.
Ye Bonan finished his summary and said nothing.
"The snow is getting heavier and heavier." Cheng Xi looked at the large swaths of snowflakes.
"This year's cold wave lasted a long time." Ye Bonan also looked at the white snow, "It's a cold spring."
He held the umbrella with one hand and put the windbreaker on her back with the other.
