Chapter 357: The Wedding (2)

"Mom!"

Walking into the courtyard of the Lin family's mansion, I saw that her mother and her father were also dressed up, talking and laughing with several extraordinary Lin family guests and friends in the front yard of the Lin family's villa, and Cheng Xi, who was holding Cao Mo's arm sweetly, screamed in shock.

was so shocked that he forgot to pull Cao Mo to dodge secretly.

Lin Yunshan is a senior executive of Xinlian Bank, his son is married, she works in Xinlian Bank, and her family's status in Xinhai is not very low, so whether it is invited by the Lin family, or her parents take the initiative to ask for an invitation to attend the wedding after knowing this, it is very normal.

The problem is that her mother is at home and has never mentioned this stubble at all.

Cheng Xi didn't like to bring her mother's social socialization into her classmates and colleagues, and she didn't mention the matter of attending the wedding at home, but she quickly figured out why her mother didn't mention it?

Do you want to use someone else's wedding scene as her son-in-law blind date meeting?

Shocked to shocked, Cheng Xi grabbed Cao Mo's arm even tighter.

If you want to say shock, of course, Cheng Zhengjie and Yang Lifang are even more shocked, Yang Lifang opened her mouth as if she had been struck by lightning, and she didn't know what to say for a long time.

What is the occasion today?

Most of the senior executives of Xinhai United Bank and Cheng Xi's daily colleagues at work will attend today's wedding, if it weren't for the fact that the relationship between the two has been stable, how could they attend such an occasion hand in arm?

After trying her best to prevent thieves, where did she think that the thieves had already stolen her daughter?

"Lao Cheng, I'm a little dizzy, are my eyes dazzled?" Yang Lifang grabbed her husband Cheng Zhengjie's arm, and felt her heart beating suddenly, a little out of breath, and didn't want to admit everything she saw in front of her.

"This is Mr. Yang, Director Cheng, your daughter, she looks so beautiful, Mr. Yang just said that your daughter didn't talk about friends, who is this?"

"Cao Mo, the nephew of the family......" Cheng Zhengjie was also shocked, although he was not unable to accept the facts in front of him, but to take care of his wife's mood, he could only smile and deal with the doubts in others' hearts first, and quickly helped his wife to sit down at the stone table on the side, so that Cao Mo and Cheng Xi walked over.

Zhou Shan and the groom Lin Fang, as well as the bridesmaids and groomsmen, were also very surprised to see this scene, and they were a little unclear about what the situation was, but they had a lot to socialize, and at the same time there were some traditional ceremonies to be carried out, so they hurriedly said hello and rushed to the living room to meet the groom's parents.

"Uncle Cheng, Aunt Yang ......"

Cheng Xi didn't want to pay attention to her mother, but Cao Mo knew that this level would have to be passed sooner or later, so she took Cheng Xi's hand and walked over and shouted.

"You kid, when did you return to China, and you didn't say a word?" Cheng Zhengjie waved his fist to express his strong dissatisfaction.

"I just returned to China this morning, and I was thinking of inviting Uncle Cheng and Aunt Yang to dinner in the evening, but I didn't expect that as soon as I got off the plane, Cheng Xi said that her classmates would have dinner at their wedding, so she came over first. Cao Mo didn't want to stimulate the future mother-in-law, so she replied honestly.

Yang Lifang hated it so much in her heart, don't turn her face, don't look at Cao Mo, don't look at her daughter Cheng Xi, and even think that her husband Cheng Zhengjie is also hateful, thinking that if he wasn't involved with the Cao family, where would there be today's things?

............

............

The front and back yards of the Lin family's mansion add up to three or four hundred square meters, which can be regarded as a mansion in Xinhai, but not to mention that it is on a par with real manors abroad, and it cannot be compared with manor-level villas in China.

There were many guests and friends who were invited to the Lin family's mansion in the afternoon, and Yang Lifang couldn't hide from socializing with others unless she went out in a negative mood at this time.

At this time, a middle-aged man walked out of the villa, saw Yang Lifang and Cheng Zhengjie sitting coldly in the corner of the courtyard, walked over without knowing the situation, and greeted happily:

"Mr. Yang, Director Cheng, why are you hiding here? Cheng Xi told your parents to arrest here, and I said why didn't anyone see you?"

Yang Lifang was extremely unhappy, but she was a good-looking person, and when she saw that the person who came was a senior executive of Xinlian Bank, she also asked with a smile: "We are hiding here quietly, why didn't Minister Zhou play cards?"

"My little bit of three-legged cat work, I won't lose it in Xianyan - Lao Yu and Lao Xie are too big for them, and I'm not at the same level as them," the middle-aged man saw that Cheng Xi was still holding Cao Mo's arm, looked at Cao Mo curiously, and asked Cheng Xi and Yang Lifang, "Who is this young man, why don't you introduce me to him?"

"Minister Zhou, Cao Mo is my boyfriend," Cheng Xi generously introduced Cao Mo to the middle-aged man, "This is Minister Zhou Bin of our Xinlian Interbank Department......"

"The young man looks very talented," the middle-aged man stretched out his hand and shook Cao Mo, still looked at him curiously, and talked to Yang Lifang, "When did Cheng Xi talk about friends, she didn't show any news in the head office - I didn't listen to you last time I had dinner with Mr. Yang and Cheng Ju, and I still wanted to help her introduce a few young talents today." A few of them who were best men for Xiaolin today are very good, I just helped Cheng Xi find out who among them has no object, but I didn't expect Cheng Xi to be silent and find such an excellent ......"

"Where is it good? It will be able to look better," Yang Lifang was no longer happy in her heart, so she could only admit it first, and said with a forced smile, "He is the son of an old friend, and the two of them talked about friends secretly, and they didn't tell us before......"

"Mr. Yang, your requirements are high, but my daughter is so beautiful, and she is a top student of Xinhai University, so she should be high," Zhou Bin laughed, he had nowhere else to go at this time, so he sat down at the stone table to talk to Yang Lifang and Cheng Zhengjie, and did not forget to gossip about Cao Mo's origin, "Where does the young man work?"

Yang Lifang intercepted the conversation and said: "Investing in Africa......"

Cao Mo can be sure that Yang Lifang doesn't know about him, Yang Lifang is obviously unwilling to admit in front of outsiders that her daughter talked about a boyfriend who didn't graduate from high school, at this time, even if he has a swollen face and is fat, he has to say that he is investing overseas, and he will not say that he is working overseas.

Well, anyway, this is a good start after all, at least Yang Lifang didn't flip the table and "sever the mother-daughter relationship" with Cheng Xi.

"Oh, what are you investing in Africa?

Dongsheng, Dongsheng, and Taihua have all invested a lot in Africa!" Zhou Bin asked with interest.

"Mainly in West Africa, I will try to make investments in minerals, food, motorcycles, cement, electricity and energy, basically whatever is needed there, and a small fight will not become a big ......climate," Cao Mo said honestly and modestly.

"Now young people, it's really amazing, so young people dare to go to Africa...... Zhou Bin also believed it, and said with Yang Lifang with emotion.

The identities of Cheng Zhengjie and Yang Lifang are there, he thinks that Cheng Zhengjie's friends, especially his daughter, are ready to get married, how can Xinhai also be a family with a head and a face - Cao Mo looks younger, but the family takes some funds to let him learn to invest, or the family has invested in Africa, which is also a very normal thing in Zhou Bin's opinion.

Yang Lifang was worried that Cao Mo's cowhide would be blown up, and seeing that Zhou Bin was chatting prosperously, she hurriedly stood up and separated the topic and said: "President Lin marries his daughter-in-law, and there is also a traditional ceremony at home today - let's go in and have a look." ”

Cheng Zhengjie and Zhou Bin walked forward, Yang Lifang lowered her voice and said to Cao Mo: "You take it easy, don't lie - forget it, you can find a place to stay by yourself, don't go in with us." ”

"Okay. Cao Mo smiled bitterly, thinking that he was humble enough.

Yang Lifang didn't worry about other things, at this time, she was obviously afraid that he would make a fool of himself after entering the house, Cao Mo had nothing to argue about at this time, so she thought about staying in the yard with Cheng Xi honestly first - the most difficult hurdle between him and Cheng Xi was almost over.

Watching her parents and Zhou Bin walk towards the villa, Cheng Xi was really relieved, clutched his chest and said, "I'm scared to death, I thought my mother was going to cut off the mother-daughter relationship with me......"

"It's okay, it's a big deal that you lied to your mother that you were already pregnant with our Cao family's seeds, and the raw rice was cooked and cooked, are you still afraid that your mother won't succeed?" Cao Mo said with a smile.

"Cut, my mom is not stupid, you are pregnant. Cheng Xi glanced at Cao Mo and scolded with a smile.

"Why don't you come? Cheng Xi, aren't you a bridesmaid for Zhou Shan today?" Zhou Bin noticed at this time that Cheng Xi and Cao Mo didn't follow, turned around and stood on the steps and waited for them to go in together.

Cao Mo and Cheng Xi could only follow to the villa, and Yang Lifang stood aside and looked at each other, asking Cao Mo to go in and not say much.

The living room is very spacious, at this time, the bride and groom have changed into traditional wedding dresses, and the groom's parents have also sat in the center of the living room, preparing to drink tea and give money to change their mouths.

"Cheng Xi's boyfriend Cao Mo is very promising, and he is investing in Africa - Zhou Shan married Lin Fang today, and Cheng Xi has a boyfriend again, how many children in our head office have to be heartbroken today? haha......"

For Cheng Xi's work, Yang Lifang and Cheng Zhengjie have met most of the senior management of Xinlian Bank, and are more familiar with Zhou Bin, Cheng Xi's direct leader, and Chen Tianxin of the International Department.

The more enthusiastically Zhou Bin recommended Cao Mo to his colleagues, the more Yang Lifang regretted that she had just said too much, and watched Cao Mo greet the senior management of Xinlian Bank one by one under the leadership of Zhou Bin, for fear that he would miss a word.

"Zhou Shan, didn't you just say that Cheng Xi's boyfriend is an ordinary employee outside Dongsheng Hai, he didn't graduate from high school, why didn't he turn around and become an overseas investor in less than two hours, this is too big, right?"

Even if some people think that Cao Mo is talking big at a young age, they won't break it, but there are also people who don't mean to show mercy.

Cao Mo looked over a little stunned, and saw a young man about thirty years old pretending to talk to Zhou Shan, but in fact, he sneered at him with great disdain, and his voice deliberately said loudly: Yes, you don't need to guess to know that you are a lost person who pursues Cheng Xi but can't.

There are several suitors of Cheng Xi in the head office, and Tian Minghua is one of them.

Although Tian Minghua did not go to the wedding of the woman's family at noon, he expected that Cheng Xi, who was a bridesmaid, would accompany Zhou Shan to the Lin family's mansion, and at the same time, in order to get close to the senior management of the head office, he rushed to the Lin family's mansion in the afternoon to join in the fun.

He just saw Cheng Xi walking into the courtyard holding a young man's hand, he was jealous, and of course he asked Zhou Shan to inquire about the details of this guy who snatched love with a knife.

Yu Jing said that Cao Mo is developing very well in Africa, but Zhou Shan didn't believe it at all, she thought that Cao Mo was an ordinary employee outside Dongsheng Hai, and she hadn't graduated from high school yet - she was still with other classmates in private today, and she felt worthless for Cheng Xi.

Tian Minghua asked her in private, and she told her the "truth" she thought - of course, she also kindly concealed that Cao Mo had injured people and was criminally detained by the police and almost sentenced, these things were known to their classmates - where did she think that Tian Minghua would not be able to hold back the jealousy in her heart, and at this time she actually stood up and slapped her face in front of her to expose Cao Mo's "cowhide"?

The scene was very embarrassing, and Zhou Shan was also embarrassed, of course she would not admit that she had said these words, and denied it in a low voice: "Manager Tian, what nonsense are you talking about, how can I tell you this?"

In fact, several senior executives of Xinlian Bank, including Lin Yunshan, the father of the groom Lin Fang, heard Zhou Bin introduce that Cao Mo was very good at investing in Africa, and few people took it seriously;

However, Yang Lifang cared about this, and her face suddenly became ugly.

The groom's best men chatted about various topics at noon, but Cao Mo couldn't pick them up, so he was a little unaccustomed to and looked down on Cao Mo.

In order to show self-cultivation before, no one would deliberately target Cao Mo, but at this time, when they saw someone tearing their faces and stabbing Cao Mo to brag about it, they didn't mind beating the water dog, and they all laughed meaningfully.

Seeing that someone was helping, Tian Minghua, who was dazed by jealousy, became even more "crazy", and did not directly target Cao Mo, but refuted Zhou Shan seriously: "Obviously you said it - by the way, isn't the boss of Dongsheng playing cards with President Li next door, and it will be clear if you ask?" lest Cheng Xi be deceived by a guy who doesn't know where to come!"

Zhou Shan was about to go crazy, and she couldn't wait to slap herself twice.

Seeing that Cheng Xi and her mother were about to faint in anger, Cao Mo looked at Zhou Shan and the groom Lin Fang, and asked with a smile: "Who is playing cards next door in Dongsheng, if it is the boss of the group, I should know them all - I am also an employee of Dongsheng Hai now, but I am also doing some private investment outside, there is no contradiction in this."

, Dongsheng senior management is clear. ”

Cao Mo said all his private work calmly and calmly, making everyone slightly stunned.

The groom, Lin Fang, still felt that Cao Mo was talking big, but as the host, he didn't want anyone to feel embarrassed by today's occasion, so he smiled a little embarrassed and said: "The chairman of Dongsheng and the shareholder of Xinlian Bank, and the president of Dongsheng Overseas are playing cards in the small hall over there - they don't need to be lively when they play cards, I will see if I can arrange for you to sit at a table at night." ”

The groom still left room for Cao Mo to go down the steps.

"Oh, Shen Ji and our President Ding, who am I talking about, scare me," Cao Mo patted his forehead, why did he give Cheng Xi and her mother a long face today, and directly took out his mobile phone to dial Shen Ji's phone, "Shen Ji, you hurry up and give me a field to come out, my cowhide almost blew up!"

"Huh?" Shen Ji opened the door of the west living room with a confused face, stood at the door and looked at Cao Mo, holding his mobile phone and asked in surprise, "Why are you here, you didn't say what wedding banquet you want to attend on the first day of returning to China, you know the groom Guan Lin Fang?"

"I also got off the plane before I heard Cheng Xi say that her classmate and colleague got married today, so I came over to eat, who is Mr. Ding playing cards with?" Cao Mo looked into the west living room, and just saw Ding Zhaoqiang's probe looking over, not only Ding Zhaoqiang was inside, Dong Chengpeng was also there, he waved his hand to say hello, and first introduced Cheng Xi and her parents to Shen Ji......

Shen Ji walked out and shook hands with Cheng Zhengjie and Yang Lifang, and didn't forget to ask Cao Mo: "What did you brag about just now, and you want me to come out to help you support the field?" You don't want to find a loan from Xinlian Bank, their chairman Yu Yiming and president Li Xiaodong are inside, go in and get to know each other?"

Ding Zhaoqiang accepted the invitation to come over to attend the wedding banquet, and it would be very face-saving for the Lin family to attend in the evening, and in the afternoon, he brought Dong Chengpeng and Shen Ji to accompany the two top executives of Xinlian to come over to play cards, obviously for another purpose; maybe this card game in the afternoon was deliberately arranged by Ding Zhaoqiang to solve the loan problem.

I definitely want to go in and fight, but Cao Mo didn't want to go in too much, so he stood in the living room and said to Shen Ji: "I chatted with Minister Zhou and them, saying that I was eating in Dongsheng, Minister Zhou They don't believe it, so they can only pull you out to prove it?"

Cao Mo didn't catch the kid who provoked him, but jokingly led the topic to Zhou Bin and others.

"Where are you going to eat a mouthful of food?" Shen Ji saw that Cao Mo was not in a hurry to go in to see Yu Yiming and Li Xiaodong of Xinlian, although he was not very familiar with Zhou Bin, Chen Tianxin and others, he also knew each other, and said to Zhou Bin with a smile, "Cao Mo has been cheating on us Dongsheng for several years, and now he can't get away......

Seeing the news of Shen Ji talking and laughing with Cao Mo, they don't think that Cao Mo has laid down a piece of the country by himself, but they also secretly guess that Cao Mo's family background may not be slightly weaker than the Ding family - this is the same as Zhou Bin's original guess.

Everyone will not break the embarrassing scene just now, but some people can't help but glance at Tian Minghua; Tian Minghua's face was flushed, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, and several groomsmen and the bride Zhou Shan were also surprised, they didn't expect that what Yu Jing said was true.

Yang Lifang has seen Lu Jianchao and Cao Mo meet, and she has also seen Shen Ji and Cao Mo go to the Golfu Stadium together, although she thinks that this is because of Chen Rong, the relationship between Shen Ji and Cao Mo is relatively close, but as long as there is no loss of face today, there is no big scandal, everything is easy to say.

The master of ceremonies who presided over the ceremony thought that the episode had passed like this, and cleared his throat and prepared to greet the bride and groom to continue the ceremony, but at this time, he saw Ding Zhaoqiang coming out of the west hall and said to Cao Mo: "Cao Mo, come here, I will introduce you to Chairman Yu Yiming and President Li Xiaodong of Xinlian......

Zhou Bin, Chen Tianxin, Lin Yunshan and others dropped their jaws.

They all know very well in their hearts that Dongsheng Real Estate's capital chain is very tight now, and its posture is usually very low, but the Ding family, whose assets are about 10 billion, can be regarded as a giant crocodile in Xinhai, and their status is not comparable to them - not to mention that Dongsheng Group still holds more than 1% of the shares of Xinlian Bank, but it does not meet the standard of director nomination rights.

Cao Mo waved hello through the door just now, they were just Cao Mo's family and the Ding family were very close, so they were more casual, but they never thought that Ding Zhaoqiang would come out in person at this moment, saying that he would introduce Cao Mo to their chairman and president.

Cao Mo smiled slightly, and did not rush in with Ding Zhaoqiang, but first introduced Cheng Xi and her parents beside her, and said, "...... Let's watch the groom and bride drink tea first, and then go in to meet Yu Dong and President Li after a while. ”

Ding Zhaoqiang also knew what Cao Mo meant, Cao Mo's status was qualified to be on an equal footing with Yu Yiming and Li Xiaodong, and even if it was slightly lower, there was no reason to put his father-in-law and mother-in-law aside and walk in alone to socialize.

"Ah, I heard Shen Ji talk about it, Cao Mo and Cheng Xi are really talented and beautiful...... Ding Zhaoqiang greeted Cheng Zhengjie and Yang Lifang, he didn't remember that Cheng Zhengjie, Yang Lifang and Chen Rong had a close relationship at all, and he didn't remember that he had ever met Yang Lifang, but he just greeted him very politely.

At this time, Dong Chengpeng accompanied Yu Yiming and Li Xiaodong out.

Yu Yiming is the chairman of Xinlian Bank, and his Xicheng Group is also the largest shareholder of Xinlian Bank, but the characteristics and regulatory requirements of domestic private joint-stock commercial banks determine that even if Xicheng Group is the largest shareholder, it only holds about 12% of the shares directly or indirectly.

Yu Yiming's net worth is better than that of the Ding family, and even better than Qian Wenhan, but it is also limited.

Li Xiaodong's position in Xinlian Bank is similar to that of Zhou Shenhe in Xinhai Bullion, with very little personal shareholdings, but he has worked hard to develop Xinlian Bank to this day, and shareholders large and small as well as the management of Xinlian Bank trust him, and no one can shake his position.

Before Ding Zhaoqiang came out to say hello, he briefly introduced Cao Mo's situation to Yu Yiming and Li Xiaodong.

Not to mention the fact that Xinhai Gold and Qian Wenhan invested in Yibogu Mining, it is impossible for the upper echelons of the entire Xinhai financial circle not to pay attention to it, and they immediately know very well what level Cao Mo's status and identity should be classified into.

They were playing cards, and it was normal for Ding Zhaoqiang to invite Cao Mo to come in and introduce them to them; Ding Zhaoqiang and Cao Mo were delayed in the living room outside, and it was normal for them to put down the cards in their hands and come out to say hello and get to know each other.

It's just that the others saw Yu Yiming and Li Xiaodong come out, and under Dong Chengpeng's introduction, they enthusiastically stretched out their hands to Cao Mo and shouted "Mr. Cao", which is not normal at this moment......
