In the Xia family villa, Lin Xiaoxiao was very dissatisfied when his daughter suddenly hung up the phone. He took the phone and looked at a young man in his early thirties opposite with gold-rimmed glasses with an apologetic look on his face and said, "I'm sorry, little one."
Chen, this is my daughter’s temper, please don’t mind it!”
Ever since Lin Xiaoxiao failed to introduce Xia Meng to Ye Chengtian, she began to look for new outstanding candidates, and finally she found a suitable candidate, the returning elite named Chen Qiyuan.
"It's okay, auntie. Xia Meng probably hasn't seen me yet, that's why she had such a big reaction. I'll come back next time when Xia Meng is at home." Chen Qiyuan spoke very politely, looking like a humble gentleman.
.
From the first time he saw Xia Meng's photo, Chen Qiyuan became very interested in this woman he had never met before. Moreover, he also inquired about Xia's Media's market value of 3 billion. If he could marry such a woman,
Not only can you get a beautiful wife, but you can also indirectly get a huge fortune, so why not do anything?
He believed that he could conquer a woman with his own charm, but he didn't expect that the woman would be beaten before he met her. However, the more difficult a woman is, the more interested he will be aroused, so
He was not too disappointed.
"Xiao Chen, please stay for lunch before leaving. Auntie is embarrassed to ask you to come here for nothing." Lin Xiaoxiao said apologetically.
"This... okay!" Chen Qiyuan was originally going to refuse, but in order to leave a good impression on Lin Xiaoxiao, Chen Qiyuan's words of refusal were swallowed up and he could only continue to sit back on the sofa.
"Xiao Chen... I heard that you are a doctoral student who graduated from the Department of Economics and Management at Harvard. With such good conditions, why don't you choose to return to China instead of staying in country M for development?"
As soon as Lin Fan walked into the living room of the villa, he heard Lin Xiaoxiao's voice, and then he noticed that there was an extra man in the living room today.
Who is this person?
Lin Fan felt slightly wary and said to Lin Xiaoxiao: "Mom, I bought the soy sauce you asked me to buy."
Originally, there was a nanny at home, so Lin Fan shouldn't do this kind of thing, but since Xia Yunlong was not at home these two days, Lin Xiaoxiao changed his ways to deliberately make things difficult for Lin Fan.
In fact, it's okay to buy once or twice occasionally. Lin Fan is not the kind of person who is delicate and expensive, but the other party is obviously making trouble unreasonably. He is asked to do all the housework, such as shopping, washing clothes, sweeping the floor, and doing housework.
It's a bit unreasonable. I have done all these things myself, so what else is the nanny going to do?
If it weren't for the fear that Xia Meng would be caught in the middle, Lin Fan would have given up his job long ago.
"I bought it right after I bought it. Didn't you see that I was talking to Xiao Chen? Why don't you hurry up and go to the kitchen to cook? Xiao Chen will stay here for dinner at noon." Lin Xiaoxiao said in an impatient and commanding tone.
Although Lin Fan felt very unhappy, he still said oh and went to the kitchen.
"He is the son-in-law you mentioned, auntie?" Chen Qiyuan asked, looking at Lin Fan's leaving figure.
"Yeah, compared to Xiao Chen, you are really far behind. You stay at home all day long and have nothing to do. Look at which man is still idle at home every day. Let alone him, I get angry when I mention this loser. It's you Xiao Chen.
Yes, if you become my son-in-law, Auntie won't have to look so worried all day long."
The corner of Chen Qiyuan's mouth curled up, but he said humbly: "Auntie, you are joking, I am not as good as you say!"
Before that, the other party had made it very clear to him that he was very dissatisfied with his son-in-law and wanted to find a better man for his daughter.
"Auntie has a very good eye for people. When I first saw you, Xiao Chen, I knew that you must be a very capable person."
Chen Qiyuan smiled slightly.
"Look, you were so busy talking about that coward that you forgot about the real thing. Where were we talking about just now?"
"Auntie, you asked me why I didn't stay in country M and chose to return to China for development." Chen Qiyuan responded with a smile.
"Yes...that's it. Look at Auntie's memory..." Lin Xiaoxiao said embarrassedly.
"The main reason is that my parents are both in the East China Sea. They were asked to go to Country M and they were told that the living environment abroad was not suitable, so I had no choice but to come back on my own. As a child, you can't leave your parents alone and not care about anything!"
"Xiao Chen, you are right. There are very few people with filial piety like you." Lin Xiaoxiao said with appreciation, becoming more and more satisfied with Chen Qiyuan.
"And I feel that now that the country's economic development is getting better and better, staying at home is no worse than living abroad. I happened to apply for a job as the manager of Zhou's Cinema some time ago, and I will go to work tomorrow!" In fact, the words above are just polite words.
, only the latter is true.
"Zhou's Cinema? Is it the newly built cinema in Beicheng?" Lin Xiaoxiao said in surprise.
"Yes, that's the movie theater!" Chen Qiyuan said proudly.
"Xiao Chen, you are really capable. You have become the manager of such a big movie theater at such a young age. I said that my aunt's vision is not wrong. I heard that the movie theater was invested by Hong Kong tycoon Zhou Shixiong. It cost a lot of money.
Several hundred million." Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Chen Qiyuan with eyes full of admiration.
"Yes, actually my achievements are nothing. Compared with Xia Meng, she is far behind. She is already the CEO of a group at such a young age." Chen Qiyuan said modestly.
"She just inherited her father's legacy, it's nothing!" Although Lin Xiaoxiao said derogatory words, there was a proud look on his face.
"Auntie was joking. Being able to manage such a large group well shows Xia Meng's ability. I believe she can succeed even if she starts her own business."
Listening to Chen Qiyuan's words full of praise, Lin Xiaoxiao's mouth felt as sweet as honey.
"Mom, I'm back!" The two of them were saying compliments to each other. At this time, Xia Qingqing walked in from the outside and was stunned when she saw a stranger in the house.
"Auntie, is this your daughter too?" Chen Qiyuan's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw Xia Qingqing. The woman in front of him was very similar to Xia Meng in the photo. She was also very beautiful, but she was completely different from Xia Meng.
A woman of temperament.
"Yes, Xiao Chen, this is my second daughter Qingqing." Lin Xiaoxiao explained with a smile, and then turned to Xia Qingqing with a straight face and lectured: "You are reckless, you only know how to stay outside all day long.
Playing is not a good idea."
"Mom...it's not that I don't want to work, isn't it just boring to pass the time?" Xia Qingqing said helplessly.
"You still talked to mom, right?"
"Mom, can you please stop burying me in front of others? I'm hungry. Is lunch ready?"
"I know how to eat all day long, so go to the kitchen and see for yourself!"
Xia Qingqing stuck out her tongue and headed towards the kitchen.
"Brother-in-law, Mom asked you to cook again! What happened to the man outside?" As soon as she came to the kitchen, Xia Qingqing looked at Lin Fan.
Seeing her brother-in-law being scolded and scolded by her mother in the past two days, Xia Qingqing felt very uncomfortable. How could her brother-in-law, a heroic figure, do such things? For this reason, she even had two big quarrels with her mother.
times, but it didn't work at all. The mother was determined to force her brother-in-law to leave.
"I'm not sure, I think I came back from studying in country M." Lin Fan said with a bitter smile. He always felt that it was unusual for his mother-in-law to leave an outsider at home for dinner, and he felt an inexplicable sense of crisis in his heart.
"Mom, are you planning to keep that person at home for dinner?" Xia Qingqing asked.
"Um!"
"The situation is not good!" Xia Qingqing exclaimed after hearing this.
"What's wrong?" Lin Fan asked curiously.
"Think about it, my good mother leaves a strange man at home for dinner, either to ask for something or to introduce him to someone!"
"You seem to know very well." Lin Fan smiled.
"Brother-in-law, you can still laugh. Do you know that you are in danger?" Xia Qingqing said with a serious face.
"What's the danger?" Lin Fan asked inexplicably.
"Based on what I know about my mother, she must have wanted to introduce him to my sister when she left this man at home for dinner! Isn't this considered dangerous?"
Lin Fan felt a sudden surprise when he heard this, but he said: "Didn't I introduce it to you?"
"Bah, this lady is naturally beautiful and needs a blind date. If she introduces her to me, she won't let me come to the kitchen." Xia Qingqing looked like she had seen through everything.
When Lin Fan heard this, he thought it made sense, but what his mother-in-law did was too unreasonable. She and Xia Meng were not divorced, so she started to find out whether Xia Meng knew another man?
"What should we do?"
"What should I do? Brother-in-law, why don't you just drive him away?" Xia Qingqing said nonchalantly.
"No, please give me a better look!" Lin Fan was speechless. He looked so wise just now, why did he become stupid now? If he drove this guy away directly, he wouldn't offend his mother-in-law!
However, after a while, Lin Fan came up with a good idea.
He said to Xia Qingqing: "I have an idea, but I need your cooperation, Qingqing."
"What a good idea, brother-in-law, tell me quickly." Xia Qingqing's eyes lit up when she heard this.
"The method is good, but it requires you to sacrifice your appearance a little bit, but don't worry, my brother-in-law will never let you suffer." Lin Fan said a little embarrassed.
"It doesn't matter. As long as I can help you, brother-in-law, I won't be afraid no matter how dangerous it is!" Xia Qingqing not only didn't feel scared, but also looked excited and found it very interesting.
"That's it..." After saying that, Lin Fan whispered in Xia Qingqing's ear for a while. When the latter heard this, his eyes became brighter and brighter. After being bored for so long, it was finally fun.
"This wimp doesn't know what he's doing in the kitchen. It's been so long and he still hasn't finished it. Xiao Chen, please sit here for a moment and I'll go take a look."
"Auntie, it's okay, you go ahead!" Chen Qiyuan responded.
So Lin Xiaoxiao headed towards the kitchen, but did not notice that his daughter had left the kitchen and secretly returned to her room.
