Looking at the grown-up Cao Mengyuan, Cao Zhongxiao smiled and nodded gently.
"Mengyuan, people say that women undergo a major transformation. It seems that this is not true at all. You are becoming more and more beautiful now."
Listening to Cao Zhongxiao's sigh, Cao Mengyuan smiled softly and said, "Grandpa praised me."
"By the way, I heard from Xinmin that you are feeling a little unwell, is it okay?"
Cao Zhongxiao then showed a worried look and observed Cao Mengyuan's face.
When Cao Mengyuan heard this, she was startled for a moment and then smiled and said: "Neurasthenia and anemia are old problems, but it doesn't matter. I have been taking traditional Chinese medicine recently."
When Cao Mengyuan complained that she was not feeling well, Cao Zhongxiao specifically asked Cao Xinmin to get some Chinese medicine for Cao Mengyuan from a respected old Chinese medicine doctor and take it according to the course of treatment.
In fact, Cao Mengyuan's health was not a big problem. She speculated that the reason for her unwellness was that she was postponing the Huang family's engagement. Cao Zhongxiao didn't know what was going on. When he learned about the situation, he was very concerned and asked Cao Mengyuan to take Chinese medicine as soon as possible to maintain her health.
Because Cao Mengyuan is the bargaining chip for the Cao family to continue to cooperate with the Huang family. Once the Cao family and the Huang family are finally married, the Cao family's various businesses will be more stable, which is what Cao Zhongxiao has always considered.
To put it bluntly, if Cao Mengyuan has some problems and cannot complete the engagement with the Huang family, then the Huang family will probably mobilize their strength to suppress the Cao family, cut off all economic ties with the Cao family, and cut off the Cao family's economic lifeline.
.
At that time, the Cao family will no longer have its current glory and will soon decline. This is a situation that Cao Zhongxiao does not want to see.
He has been attached to the Huang family all his life, but ended up like this in the end. If nothing else, how could Cao Zhongxiao tolerate this old face?
Therefore, no matter what, even if Cao Zhongxiao doesn't like Cao Mengyuan in front of him, he still has to show a smile and show affection and care.
"That's right, your body comes first. Only when your body is well can you do other things, right?"
After hearing that Cao Mengyuan had been taking Chinese medicine on time and that her health was not serious, Cao Zhongxiao felt relieved and said with a smile.
"Thank you for your concern, Grandpa!" Cao Mengyuan replied politely.
Cao Zhongxiao nodded, and then looked at Cao Mengyuan with a thoughtful look, "By the way, Mengyuan, you came to me today for something, right?"
Cao Mengyuan rarely visited the Three Treasures Hall in these years, and when she did, she came with Cao Xinmin, Su Xin and the others.
In Cao Zhongxiao's memory, this was the first time that Cao Mengyuan came alone like today, so Cao Zhongxiao had a vague feeling that this grandniece came to do more than just visit him.
Cao Mengyuan nodded, secretly took a deep breath, looked at Cao Zhongxiao's kind face, and then softly told her reasons.
"Grandpa, there is something I want you to help me with."
"Oh?" Cao Zhongxiao was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and pointed at Cao Mengyuan, "I knew that this girl like you didn't come here to visit a bad old man like me. There must be something going on, right?"
Cao Zhongxiao's half-joking way of speaking made Cao Mengyuan laugh and lower her head in embarrassment.
"It's okay, just tell me, you are my granddaughter. If something happens to your granddaughter, if grandpa doesn't help you, who can help you?" Cao Zhongxiao continued to smile.
"Grandpa, this matter has nothing to do with me. I, I came to you to beg for someone else."
Although Cao Mengyuan tried her best to be calm and calm before meeting Cao Zhongxiao, when she actually faced the head of the Cao family, Cao Zhongxiao, who was in charge of all matters of life and death in the Cao family, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"For someone else?"
Sure enough, the next second, the smile that was still on Cao Zhongxiao's face gradually disappeared, and was replaced by a look of confusion.
Seeing Cao Zhongxiao's serious face, Cao Mengyuan felt nervous.
However, things have reached this point, and we must keep going no matter how difficult it is.
Besides, Shen Dapeng is the person he loves most, so he can't just watch him get into trouble and be unable to get out, right?
He had already made up his mind that if he wanted to help him no matter what, he would have to walk through whether it was a mountain of knives or a sea of fire.
Thinking of this, Cao Mengyuan nodded and said, "Yes, one of my former classmates is in urgent need of help."
Cao Zhongxiao's expression gradually returned to normal, he stopped looking at Cao Mengyuan, picked up the purple clay pot and drank a few sips, but did not speak immediately.
The huge room suddenly fell into silence. In Cao Mengyuan's opinion, this kind of silence was a bit scary. Coupled with the calm silence of the head of the family in front of her, Cao Mengyuan was even more breathless.
However, Cao Mengyuan has made a desperate move today. She is asking her grandfather for help no matter what, and she will succeed no matter what.
I didn't want to hear Shen Dapeng's silence and helplessness on the other side of the phone after I told Shen Dapeng the news of the failure.
After Cao Zhongxiao drank the last few sips of tea, a woman in her forties immediately walked out from behind the screen.
Cao Mengyuan knew her as a servant who specialized in taking care of Cao Zhongxiao's daily life. She had been staying in the Cao family for several years.
The woman stepped forward to pick up the hot water bottle on the table, carefully filled the purple clay pot with water, and then smiled politely at Cao Mengyuan, who also gave her a polite smile.
Cao Zhongxiao waved his hand towards the woman, "You have nothing to do here, you can go about your business."
The maid nodded sensibly, and then bowed out respectfully. At this time, only Cao Zhongxiao and Cao Mengyuan were left in the room.
After seeing the door being gently closed, Cao Zhongxiao turned his attention to Cao Mengyuan's face again.
"Tell me, what exactly is it?"
Cao Zhongxiao's voice was calm, without a trace of emotion.
"He started doing business after graduation. He is a businessman. But now he has encountered some financial difficulties and there is really no other way. That's why he asked me to help. Grandpa, you know, I just want to help him and I have the ability."
It’s limited, isn’t it, haha, I’m here to beg you?” Cao Mengyuan said with a smile.
"Are you asking me to help him with a loan?" Cao Zhongxiao asked calmly.
Cao Mengyuan nodded, "Grandpa, you are so smart! That's what you mean!"
Cao Mengyuan said in a coquettish tone and grabbed one of Cao Zhongxiao's arms.
"You young people, if you don't stay well, you will help others in one day. Mengyuan, you just came out of school. You don't know the complexity of this society. There are some things you can do and some things you can't."
Cao Zhongxiao put on a worldly look and continued: "Also, it depends on what kind of help you are helping. Some help is good for others, but if you help others, it will hurt yourself in the end."
