Chapter 19: The Old Fox
Li Jiacheng was also very unhappy because of this: "Are you questioning my ability to see people? This kid may be my future son-in-law, and he also asked me to be the shopkeeper of his antique shop, if you don't give him face, you won't give me face!"
Before entering the villa, Li Jiacheng said to the people: "Okay, just do it, just do what you say, if Wei Xia misestimates a treasure at that time, then my store will be given to you! But if he guesses correctly, you must support him to open a store!"
The person on the other end of the line seemed to be hesitant: "Huh? But ......"
Li Jiacheng was categorical and said undoubtedly: "But what is it? It's decided, see you tomorrow!"
Then he put the phone away, and turned his head to look at Wei Xia's eyes also changed, as if he was looking at a golden eagle Maitreya Buddha, he smiled all over his face: "Wei Xia, just now I have discussed with a few old fritters, tomorrow at 12 noon in the southeast corner of the city to meet at the Grace Hotel, at the same time you have to help them identify five antiques, if you guess right, then the investment in this gilded pavilion will be settled." ”
Wei Xia bowed and said modestly: "Uncle Li, I originally had my own funds, I can handle this matter myself, you just need to be my shopkeeper? Aren't you going to lose your job?"
Li Jiacheng smiled wickedly: "I believe in your strength, besides, even if the antique shop is gone, it doesn't matter if you owe me, don't you cooperate with me anyway? I'll let you be our antique appraiser, and when the time comes, we will make as much money as we want, don't we have how much money?"
Wei Xia sighed for a while, and sighed that this old fritter was really "thoughtful", and it was really fat and water that didn't flow into outsiders' fields. From beginning to end, all he thought about was to make himself owe favors to others, even if he said more to put his heart into his heart, in fact, his nature was still calculating, shrewd and cunning.
As soon as the two stepped on the leopard skin carpet and entered the living room, Li Mengyao was already waiting at the door, her eyes were full of love when she looked at Wei Xia, and electric sparks flashed between the two.
"Dad, you're finally back, dinner is almost ready, can you go change your clothes?"
She only said one word to Li Jiacheng, and then her eyes were almost completely locked on Wei Xia's body.
Li Jiacheng saw that there was a raging flame of love burning between the two, and he knew that he was a light bulb, but he was also very high-spirited, and he was bent on fulfilling the two of them and getting Wei Xia, the golden beetle son-in-law, so he said to Wei Xia: "Xiaowei, stay and eat at night."
Wei Xia said politely: "Ah, how embarrassing is this, I still have something to do over there......
Li Mengyao's face changed greatly when she heard this: "Is there anything more important than me? ”
"There's more important things than you. ”
Wei Xia thought so, but he didn't dare to say it, and what he was thinking about now was how to find an excuse to comfort Su Anxi at home.
Just when Li Mengyao dragged Wei Xia to the sofa, Su Anxi's phone had already called, and Wei Xia had to hurriedly signal Li Mengyao to wait, she had something to deal with.
He answered the phone and said, "My sister, what's wrong?"
Su Anxi said with some grievances: "What else can happen? You haven't seen anyone for two or three days, what are you doing? People haven't announced it for the past few days, I'm waiting for you at home every day, people are really lonely......"
Wei Xia told Su Anxi what he had seen and heard in the past few days, and he thought that Su Anxi would be very angry, but she didn't expect that she would actually say: "I didn't expect you to open your own antique store, your business scope is more and more extensive, so will I become a rich woman in the future?"
Wei Xia breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Of course, as long as I can convince those investors tomorrow, you will be the first lady of the Wei family!"
Hearing this, Su Anxi was coaxed to close her mouth, and Wei Xia couldn't help but sigh: "Women, they are really animals who act on their feelings. ”
Li Mengyao pounced on her back at this time and hugged Wei Xia from behind.
She shouted to Wei Xia Jiao: "Baby, let's eat." Otherwise, the food will be cold after a while. I specially asked the chef of Yue Xuan Lou to cook you some of your favorite dishes?"
Wei Xia said to Su Anxi on the other end of the phone: "Sister, I'm going to eat, I guess we can meet the night after tomorrow." Let's not talk about it yet. ”
Hearing Wei Xia say this, Su Anxi hung up the phone, she just told Wei Xia that she didn't care at all, but in fact, she felt very apprehensive in her heart. She knew that Wei Xia was only doing all this for herself, but she still felt unwilling.
During the banquet, Li Mengyao kept serving Wei Xia vegetables, which made Wei Xia feel a little uncomfortable, and Li Jiacheng and Li's mother felt a little unaccustomed to watching the behavior of the two.
Mother Li saw that Li Mengyao did not restrain at all, piled up the dishes in Wei Xia's bowl and said meaty words, so she cleared her throat and said, "Cough, young people now are really open, and it is different from us back then." ”
Li Mengyao immediately heard the meaning of her mother's words:
"Mom~, Wei Xia is my boyfriend, isn't it normal for us to show affection? We can't go out on a date and leave the two of you behind, right? Then my daughter and I will feel distressed. ”
She blinked as she spoke, flattering Wei Xia as if to say, "Look how smart I am." You must be with me!"
Although Wei Xia felt a little helpless, he still admired you from the bottom of his heart.
After the two of them ate, Wei Xia saw that it was raining outside, and pretended to leave, but he actually did it just to show his reserve, and didn't want Li Mengyao's parents to think that they were a particularly casual man.
But Li Mengyao stopped him and hugged his arm: "No, people asked you to accompany me, how can you leave so early? ”
Wei Xia repeatedly refused, but Li Mengyao still refused, and was even about to cry. Li Jiacheng saw that his daughter was so willful, so he had to say to Wei Xia: "Then it's better to stay, anyway, we have to go to the hotel together tomorrow." When the time comes, we're going to take care of those old fritters. The room on the right side of the second floor is still empty. ”
Wei Xia looked at Li Mengyao with an expectant look on her face, knowing that she had already been tricked, so she smiled: "Then since Uncle Li is so enthusiastic, I might as well be respectful." ”
Li Mengyao was already overjoyed when she heard this, just like the cheerful deer in the depths of the forest, only to feel that her heart was shot by the arrow of the god of love.
