Chapter 9 Love Debts Difficult to Pay (1)
Diao Ranran was woken up by the ringtone of her mobile phone, she struggled for a moment, closed her eyes and fumbled, and pressed the answer button.
"Ranran, let's have a morning tea with Dad, I've already asked the secretary to book a place, and it's still in the old place. ”
Diao Chengxi's laughing voice came from the other end of the phone, listening to Diao Ranran's ears, it inexplicably made her feel a trace of coolness.
She sat up from the covers, her long hair ruffled to her chest, itchy and slippery, and she shuddered and was completely awake.
In fact, it is normal for Diao Chengxi to drink morning tea by himself. Diao Ranran's grandmother is French, and she lived in Guangdong for more than ten years when she was young, and this habit has been passed down slowly.
It's just that when I think of that dream last night, Diao Ranran always has a feeling of chill in her back.
Did he ever see the pictures taken by the brothers? Did he give the 50 million? How did this matter settle down?
Countless questions flashed in Diao Ranran's mind at the same time, like tens of thousands of migrating zebras galloping across the East African savannah, making her uneasy.
Hanging up the phone, Diao Ranran sat on the bed to ease his nerves, then jumped out of bed and quickly washed and put on makeup.
More than an hour later, she had already held the new handbag and elegantly walked into the "old place" in Diao Chengxi's mouth, where the father and daughter often came to drink tea and chat, and even the private room was fixed, the "Step by Step Lotus" on the third floor.
This breakfast is very famous, with more than 100 kinds of dim sum as the finishing touch, but also its biggest specialty, which is dizzying. There are also shrimp dumplings made of high-quality Zhanjiang shrimp, which are living signs, and are known as "the first shrimp dumpling emperor in Zhonghai". Diao Chengxi likes to eat very much, and every time he comes, he has to order two drawers.
Diao Ranran walked in, sat down opposite Diao Chengxi, and poured water to rinse the tableware.
"Whatever you like, order it yourself. ”
Every time he comes, Diao Chengxi says the same thing, and this time it is the same.
Diao Ranran picked up the pen casually, circled a few snacks, and returned the menu to the waiter, and then, she took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "When you called me, I was still dreaming." ”
Diao Chengxi smiled and didn't say anything, but there seemed to be something more in his smile, and Diao Ranran was a little panicked.
"It's your idea to postpone your marriage, right? and go around and around for that child to mention Sijie, you're really ...... Hey, Ranran, isn't it good to get married? As the old saying goes, start a family first and then start a business, as long as you get married, your father will be relieved......"
He lit a cigarette and spoke slowly, shaking his head as he spoke, as if worried about her.
Diao Ran Ran Zhilu said, this is Qiao Sijie's words have played a role, and the heads of the two families must also be angry, although they feel helpless to each other, but there is no other way, they can't force these two people to go through the marriage procedures.
She couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in her heart, and she secretly said, it seems that Qiao Sijie is still keeping his promise.
"Okay, I won't rush it anymore, so as not to let people chew their tongues behind their backs, saying that I can't afford to raise my daughter, and I'm in a hurry to push it out. ”
Diao Chengxi dusted off his cigarette ash and finally relented.
Diao Ranran immediately smiled and patted his ass, filled his father's teacup with hot tea, and said with a doggled smile: "Dad, drink tea." ”
Glancing at her, Diao Chengxi snorted lightly, didn't say anything, but was very face-saving, and drank all the tea in the cup in one go. Putting down the teacup, he thought of something again, frowned, and said hesitantly: "Ranran, have you and Zhan Xingchuan of the Zhan clan gotten closer recently?"
She was slightly stunned, and the alarm bell rang loudly in her head.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Diao Ranran appeared alone in a high-end club in Zhonghai City. It is said that this is a professional equestrian club with the best reputation in the circle.
Fortunately, Diao Chengxi is a senior member here, otherwise, even if Diao Ranran's status is noble, he may not be able to enter - the entrance fee of 380,000 yuan to 10 million yuan, and he can only be invited after passing a strict review.
All of this makes it a true paradise for the rich.
The clubhouse staff took Diao Ranran to a VIP lounge, asked her to wait, and served tea and coffee graciously.
Before coming, Diao Chengxi had told Diao Ranran that Zhan Xingchuan was one of the shareholders here. Moreover, he can be regarded as a good athlete, good at polo, equestrian, snorkeling, rushing Lang and other aristocratic sports.
She tugged at the corners of her mouth, but smiled silently.
If you say something unpleasant, you are called a good athlete, but if you say something unpleasant, you are not a playboy who loves to play and show.
If it weren't for Diao Chengxi using the matter of stopping him and Bai Nuowei as a bargaining chip, Diao Ranran really didn't want to come over to find Zhan Xingchuan in person, especially if he still had a request for him.
"I know you don't like her, but after all, she is pregnant, and you treat her like that, making her cry and cry and come to me, and I am also very annoyed. Ranran, can you be more considerate of me......"
Diao Chengxi said with an embarrassed expression, and there was already a hint of begging in his tone.
"If I don't understand you, maybe she'll have nothing left in her stomach right now. Dad, do you think I really didn't understand you?"
Diao Ranran put down his chopsticks and asked with a straight face.
She didn't know how Bai Novi added fuel to the events of that day and described it to Diao Chengxi in black and white, and although the latter heard the woman say that she wanted to threaten his daughter with a video, after all, the matter had come to this, and waiting for her to give birth to the child was the only way.
"By the way, didn't you just ask me if I'm familiar with Zhan Xingchuan, what's wrong?"
Diao Ranran wiped her mouth and asked suspiciously.
And that's exactly why she's here now.
After waiting for more than 20 minutes, I didn't expect to be able to drink authentic Vietnamese drip coffee here, which made Diao Ranran, who has always liked food, more patient.
Footsteps sounded, she turned around, and sure enough, it was Zhan Xingchuan who came out after hearing the news.
"If you want to see me, you need to make an appointment with Secretary Kong a week in advance. ”
He wore a bright yellow equestrian outfit, gloves, breeches, and leg guards, and dark brown professional riding boots made his legs look straight and long.
Diao Ranran remained motionless, still sitting in place, her gaze just level with Zhan Xingchuan's waist, and at a glance she could see that his leather belt was decorated with a unique twill horse pattern.
In a small conspicuous place, there is the English abbreviation of his name, Patrick, gold embroidered thread, which looks very delicate.
"Aren't you going to see Warren Buffett, as for such a heavy hurdle?"
She scoffed, but she was afraid of what her father had told her, so she got up and said hello.
Zhan Xingchuan paused, took off the embroidered knight's hat he was wearing on his head, bowed lazily at her, and gave a knightly salute.
"I don't remember any business dealings with your company, why did Miss Diao come to me in person?"
He was very resentful, and he remembered the unhappy parting of the two the day before, and his tone sounded cold.
"To tell you the truth, I came to say hello to Mr. Zhan on behalf of my father. If you have time, he wants to ask you out for a meal, or to play ball, and have a chat. ”
Diao Ranran suppressed his anger, tried to smile, and answered him softly.
She was polite on the surface, but in fact, in Diao Ranran's heart, she couldn't help but scold Zhan Xingchuan from head to toe, and scolded me I don't know how many times.
