Zhonggang City, Villa No. 7 in Haichen Villa District, Chu Jingyao was sitting on the sofa with her tablet computer reading the news. Near the end of the year, she asked for leave from Big Pharaoh in advance to stay with Chengcheng at home. After Lin Kun left Zhonggang City
, mother and son lived quite a happy life. They went to various amusement parks in Zhonggang City and tasted some of the most exquisite ones from famous restaurants in Zhonggang City.
Chengcheng was having a great time playing with Xiaohai Dongqing and Xiao Huihui. If the two little guys were placed in the big forest, they would be first-rate ferocious beasts. But in front of Chengcheng, the two little guys were filled with excitement.
They are spiritual and far more cute and considerate than ordinary domestic pets.
After flipping through the latest entertainment news, Chu Jingyao couldn't help but frown. She clicked on the photo and looked carefully. Song Xinyi's smiling face was right in front of her. It was so beautiful that even Chu Jingyao felt a little surprised.
In front of other beauties, including Zhang Xiaoya, Gu Wei, and Lu Ting, Chu Jingyao had never felt like this before, and she even began to feel a little worried.
The two consecutive headlines were all related to the rich lady from Yanjing. Of course, Lin Kun also played an important role in them. After seeing the news that the two were about to get engaged in the next year, Chu Jingyao felt a little worried in her heart.
, suddenly became bored.
Snap...
Chu Jingyao, who has always been cold and calm, threw her tablet on the sofa. Chengcheng turned around and asked strangely: "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Chu Jingyao smiled and said, "Mom is fine."
Chengcheng put down the toys in his hands, ran over, sat in front of Chu Jingyao, raised his face, looked at her with a serious expression on his clear eyes, and said, "Mom, you lied."
Chu Jingyao was a little embarrassed by what her son said, so she smiled and said, "No way."
Chengcheng said immaturely and seriously: "The eyes are the windows to the soul. If there are dark clouds in mom's window, something unhappy must have happened. Mom told Chengcheng that Chengcheng helped mom share the burden. Dad explained before he left.
I want to protect my mother!"
Chu Jingyao touched her son's head, with relief and doting in her eyes. She couldn't help but secretly thought: All men in the world are unreliable, only her son and father are the most reliable.
Buzz buzz...
The mobile phone on the sofa vibrated at this moment. Chengcheng turned around to get the mobile phone, glanced at the number on the screen, and handed it to Chu Jingyao: "Mom, it's grandpa!"
Chu Jingyao took the phone and said, "Hey, Dad."
Chu Xiangguo on the other end of the phone said: "Jingyao, Xiaoxue showed me an entertainment report this morning. Have you read that report?"
Chu Jingyao smiled and pretended to be stupid and said: "What report? I didn't read it. I have been playing with Chengcheng."
Chu Xiangguo said in a calm voice: "Well, today a friend happened to bring some wild lobsters from the Arctic Ocean. I won't ask the driver to deliver them to you two. You can have dinner at home tonight. Haichen's villa is now yours.
Mom, I'm not worried. You can pick up a few changes of clothes by the way. If you're too lazy to pack them away, your Aunt Jiang has always said that she's bored at home recently, so we should go to the mall together tomorrow to buy some new clothes."
"Dad, Chengcheng and I..."
"Don't say no."
"Okay." Chu Jingyao smiled and hung up the phone.
Chengcheng raised her little head, looked at Chu Jingyao with her big watery eyes and said, "Mom, are we going to grandpa's house?"
Chu Jingyao smiled and said, "Well, grandpa asked us to stay there for a few days. Do you want to go?"
"I want to!" Chengcheng said happily, and then asked: "Mom, can I take Xiaohai Holly and Xiao Huihui with me? If I leave them at home, they will be hungry."
Chu Jingyao smiled and said: "Of course, go and pack up the toys. Mom will take you there in a moment. Go to grandpa's house to eat your favorite lobster tonight!"
"Okay!"
Chengcheng went to pack up the toys happily, while Xiaohai Dongqing and Xiao Huihui followed behind the little guy.
Looking at her son's happy back, the smile on Chu Jingyao's face gradually dimmed. It would be great if the world of adults could be as simple and carefree as that of children.
Jiang Yingxia and her nanny cooked in person, and several large lobsters were cooked one after another. During the years of living with Chu Xiangguo, Jiang Yingxia stayed at home every day and studied food. Although her skills in cooking home-cooked dishes were average, she could only cook treasures such as seafood.
The craftsmanship is
It was extremely impressive. There were five lobsters in total. She used different methods to cook them, and the taste was also different. Most of the table was occupied by five large lobsters, and the remaining dishes were all made of seafood.
Lord, as a foil to these five big lobsters.
The family sat happily at the dining table. Chu Jingyao peeled the lobster for Chengcheng. Chu Jingyao had just put the first peeled shrimp into the little guy's bowl. The little guy immediately picked it up and put it in his mother's mouth.
At the same time, he smiled with two little tiger teeth and said: "Mom, eat first, Chengcheng is not hungry."
Chu Xiangguo and Jiang Yingxia looked at it and were happy for Chengcheng's sensibleness. Chu Jingyao smiled and said: "Mom is not hungry either. Chengcheng eats first. Haven't you been clamoring for lobster? Eat it quickly."
, Mom will peel it off after you finish eating."
"No, mommy has to eat the good food first." The little guy had a serious and stubborn expression on his face.
Chu Jingyao smiled and was at a loss. Chu Xiangguo next to him said: "Jingyao, since the child knows how to be filial, don't go against the child's wishes and eat it quickly. It's not like our family can't afford lobster. Although this lobster
It’s so precious, if you like it, I’ll buy it in large quantities tomorrow, and our family will eat lobster every day from now on.”
Chu Jingyao smiled, opened her mouth and ate the lobster meat. Chengcheng raised her little head, with a warm smile that was heartwarming, "Mom, are you feeling better?"
Chu Jingyao smiled and said: "Mom is not in a bad mood. Come and eat shrimp."
Chu Jingyao immediately peeled off another piece of lobster and put it into Chengcheng's bowl. Chu Xiangguo smiled and said to Chengcheng: "Little guy, who should eat this piece of shrimp meat?"
Chengcheng thought for a while and said, "Give it to grandpa!" As he said that, he handed over the shrimp meat with a smile.
"Well, it's so delicious!" Chu Xiangguo said with a smile while chewing, "It seems that in your heart, grandpa is still not as important as mom. Mom ranks first, and grandpa ranks second."
Chengcheng shook his head and said with a smile: "Grandpa, you guessed wrong."
Chu Xiangguo smiled and said: "Then grandpa ranks first? If you say that, grandpa won't believe it. If grandpa ranks first, should the shrimp meat be given to grandpa first?"
"Grandpa, you are ranked third." Chengcheng said with a smile, looking innocent as a child.
"ah?"
Chu Xiangguo was startled for a moment, then laughed out loud, "I know your father is ranked second, right? Grandpa Hezhe loves you so much, so he ranks third."
Chengcheng smiled and said: "Grandpa, dad and mom are tied for first place, and you are third."
Chu Xiangguo laughed loudly and said: "You nephew dog, it's no use how much pain grandpa gives. Then grandpa asks you, if dad is here, who will you give this shrimp meat to first?"
Chengcheng thought for a while and said with a smile: "If dad were here, dad would peel the shrimp meat for mom and me, and mom and I would only be responsible for eating."
Chu Xiangguo quietly looked at Chu Jingyao. Chu Jingyao's face was calm, neither happy nor sad.
Qin Xue also peeled off a piece of shrimp meat, handed it to Chengcheng's mouth, and said with a smile: "Come on, your little mouth said so many witty words, Aunt Xiaoxue will reward you with a piece of shrimp meat."
Chengcheng opened her mouth and swallowed, chewing and smiling, "Thank you, Aunt Xiaoxue!"
Qin Xue smiled and said, "How can I thank you?"
Chengcheng stood up, hugged Qin Xue's neck, and kissed her on the face.
The whole family burst out laughing.
After dinner, Chu Xiangguo called Chu Jingyao into the study. Chu Jingyao said, "Dad, are you trying to lecture me again?"
Chu Xiangguo smiled and complained: "Smelly girl, my father hasn't disciplined you since you were a teenager."
Chu Jingyao sat on the bamboo chair. Chu Xiangguo took the boiling water and made tea. Chu Jingyao said: "I don't want to drink tea. The better the tea, the more sleepless you will be at night."
Chu Xiangguo smiled and said: "If you don't drink tea, will you be able to sleep tonight?"
Chu Jingyao said: "Why can't I sleep?"
Chu Xiangguo said: "Okay, my daughter, you still have half of my genes. No matter how deeply you hide your little thoughts, you can't escape dad's eyes."
Chu Jingyao lowered her head and said slightly discouraged: "That girl is really pretty."
Chu Xiangguo sat next to his daughter, worked skillfully on the expensive tea set, handed a cup of tea to his daughter, and said with a smile: "My precious daughter will never give up on her own initiative.
Yes, what happened this time?"
Chu Jingyao put her hands together, rubbed her fingers in her palms, took the teacup, took a sip, and said: "She is beautiful, has a good family background, and I have a child..."
Chu Xiangguo smiled and said: "But you know, Lin Kun treats Chengcheng like his own child."
Chu Jingyao said: "I think it's different. He likes Chengcheng now because he doesn't have children of his own. If he has children of his own, his feelings for Chengcheng will change. The women around him before,
I am confident that the conditions are better than theirs, but this time...Dad, you should have seen that girl's photo and introduction."
Chu Xiangguo nodded and said with a smile: "If we compare her appearance alone, in my father's eyes, his daughter must be the most beautiful, but my father also has to admit that she is indeed a beautiful girl. If we compare her family background,
My father is not as good as her grandfather, but he believes that my daughter’s ability is no worse than anyone else’s. My daughter is also like a fairy. If you like it, then boldly pursue it and fight for it.”
"Dad, but I..."
"Just think it's for Chengcheng. You can also see how much he likes Lin Kun, right?" Chu Xiangguo said with a smile. The father and daughter looked at each other. Chu Jingyao's eyes showed that ignorant helplessness, and Chu Xiangguo's
There was calm determination in his eyes, and more of a fatherly love.
"Yeah." Chu Jingyao pursed her lips, smiled, and nodded.
"Go to Yanjing and take Chengcheng with you. I have asked Qin Xue to prepare a private jet."
"I don't want it. If I go over now, it seems like I want to tie him up on purpose."
"Of course my father has thought about it for you. We are a girl's family and we can't get on the pole." Chu Xiangguo said with a smile: "I still remember that Lin Kun's apprentice got married before, and the Yanjing Steel Company from Yanjing was about to go bankrupt.
Xiaochu from the factory?"
Chu Jingyao nodded and said, "Remember, he wanted to invite you to dinner, did you go?"
Chu Xiangguo said: "I didn't go, but I sent Lao Liu from the Ministry of Commerce under me. When Lao Liu came back, he gave me feedback that the young man named Chu was pretty good and down-to-earth. He and I were the first to visit the Yanjing Steel Factory.
The impression left at that time was almost the same.”
Chu Jingyao said: "Did you really acquire shares in the steel factory?"
Chu Xiangguo smiled and said: "No. When I visited the steel factory, Xiaochu was only in his thirties. The manufacturer of the steel factory at that time was his father. His father was an upright man and he was also arrogant at that time. I originally
I wanted to invest in their factory and take the opportunity to get involved in the steel industry, but the old guy said
I refused, and there was no room for it. I asked someone to inquire, and the steel market has been very sluggish in recent years. Yanjing Steel Factory has been unable to make ends meet. After several rounds of layoffs, it is getting closer to the edge of bankruptcy. This small company has been unable to make ends meet.
Chu Yi wanted to save the steel factory, which was also his father's last wish."
Chu Jingyao said: "His father?"
Chu Xiangguo said: "I was worried about the development of the steel factory all day long and couldn't find a good way to turn the situation around. After getting seriously ill, I never stood up again and passed away last year."
There was a trace of regret in Chu Jingyao's eyes, but she soon regained her composure. Chu Xiangguo smiled with satisfaction and said, "Now you know why I didn't acquire the steel factory?"
Chu Jingyao said: "I know, the timing is wrong. The market value of the steel industry in the stock market has generally fallen recently. In addition, at the end of the year, people are waiting for money to celebrate the New Year. After these few months, the final result of Yanjing Steel Factory
I am afraid that every drop of hard work will be exhausted. At this time, if we take action to acquire Yanjing Steel Factory, we can pay the minimum price and obtain the maximum benefit."
Chu Xiangguo clapped his hands with satisfaction, "Well, she is indeed my daughter, Chu Xiangguo!"
