In the process of listening to Ye Ming's narration, Xia Bicheng became more and more surprised, and the more he listened, the more excited he became, especially when he heard that the day when Ye Ming or Secretary Lu went to worship his mother happened to be his mother's birthday, and Secretary Lu also specially bought incense, candles, fruits and other sacrifices, he was more sure in his heart: Ye Ming's mother was Secretary Lu's original lover; And Ye Ming is 100% Secretary Lu's illegitimate son.

Because he knows very well: as a secretary of the provincial party committee, he may occasionally go to worship some ordinary people who have dedicated their posts and made outstanding contributions for the needs of publicity and image, which is understandable, but the general way of worship is to bow a few times in front of the statue, and rarely go to the grave to worship in person, and even if he goes to the grave to worship, it is impossible to deliberately buy anything in the incense, candles and fruits to make offerings, at most he is to offer a wreath at the grave, write a sentence on it, sign a name, it is the most polite and glorious.

However, Secretary Lu worshiped Ye Ming's mother, but not only went to the grave in person, but also put on offerings and lit incense candles, which is obviously a measure to worship relatives, not to mention, the worship rì he chose to worship is also Ye Ming's mother's longevity, this can never be a coincidence, but it really proves that the woman he worships is his relative and his lover......

And the purpose of Xia Bicheng's interrogation of Ye Ming just now is to confirm his judgment again, and now, he has clearly and unmistakably affirmed: The heroic young man opposite him is the only son of Secretary Lu, and the only heir of the illustrious Lu family in the future, once his daughter marries him, not only will he be closely connected with Secretary Lu, but also Director Lu Nianzi of the National Development and Reform Commission and Director Zhang Linjiang of the Ministry of Finance in the future are all his relatives, and he wants to be promoted in the future. If you want to progress, you have a solid backer and backing, and you don't need to spend much effort to drill camps and curry favor with others.

What makes him even more happy is that his baby daughter, as he wishes, has since become the mistress of a high-ranking official and eunuch family......

In this way, the more Xia Bicheng thought about it, the more he was happy, the more excited he became, and the more he looked at Ye Ming, the more cordial and enthusiastic he became.

At this time, he couldn't wait for his daughter to get engaged to Ye Ming immediately.

Therefore, after smiling and thinking for a while, he suddenly said to Ye Ming: "Xiao Ye, just this afternoon, I was instructed by Secretary Lu to go to his office to report to him the current situation of the income of our local taxation system and the measures of double more than half. ”

As soon as Ye Ming and Xia Chuchu heard this, both of them said "ah" at the same time, Xia Chuchu's face was full of joy, but Ye Ming was surprised.

Xia Bicheng observed the faces of the two people carefully, and continued: "Secretary Lu is very concerned about your affairs, and he still remembers the things he promised to be a matchmaker for Xiao Ye and Chu Chu in his busy schedule, and he told me: Although he didn't tell the two of you about it in time because he was busy with work, he always remembered it in his heart, and he always wanted to fulfill the promise he made, so he proposed to me: Let the two of you settle the family affairs in the near future, and it is best to hold an engagement ceremony, when the time comes, He will congratulate you as a matchmaker, and if possible, he may even attend your engagement ceremony in person. ”

Although Xia Chuchu was generous and cheerful, but now that her father was in front of Ye Ming, he suddenly talked about her engagement to Ye Ming, his face suddenly turned red, and he was happy and shy, and after glancing at Ye Ming quickly, he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Ye Ming.

Ye Ming didn't expect that Xia Bicheng would suddenly mention his engagement to Chu Chu, and when he was shocked, his face turned red, and he looked away a little awkwardly, and didn't answer Xia Bicheng's words.

Xia Bicheng saw that Ye Ming didn't speak, thinking that he was unwilling to engage with Chu Chu, and his heart suddenly became anxious, thinking that he should have an opinion about his opposition to his relationship with Chu Chu at the beginning, if this is the case, it will be a bit of a big deal.

Therefore, he continued: "Xiao Ye, to tell you the truth: because there were some unfavorable rumors about you at the beginning, and there were also some people suing you, my opinion of you has always been relatively cautious, but, after such a long period of observation, I feel: You, a young man, although there are some shortcomings and problems, but, on the whole, you are a very talented, very capable, and very good young man, not to mention, you should also know that Chu Chu has always been very good to you. I also have a deep affection for you, which we parents know very well.

"Therefore, your Aunt Zeng and I both agree with your relationship with Chu Chu, and hope that the two of you will get engaged as soon as possible, you are both twenty-five or sixteen years old, and you have reached the age of talking about marriage, a few days ago, Director Li also talked to me about your marriage with Chu Chu, it is said that Secretary Li is also very approving of you being together, I think, so many people are optimistic about you, so many people want you to be together, which proves that you are very compatible and very suitable for being together.

"My opinion is: In the near future, or just in the next few days, you and Chu Chu will hold an engagement ceremony, I know that you are an orphan, so, about the engagement, don't want you to cāo, all by our family cāo, when the time comes, you only need to come alone."

Because he was worried that Ye Ming would not agree to the engagement, the cooked duck would fly away, therefore, Xia Bicheng suddenly forgot about the shelf and reserve of his provincial bureau leader, and even began to beg Ye Ming in a begging tone, which not only made Ye Ming both surprised and frightened, but even Xia Chuchu felt a little incredible, staring at her father with a pair of beautiful eyes, unable to figure out why he suddenly became so impatient and so anxious......

At the same time, Xia Chuchu was also a little worried that Ye Ming would lose his temper and refuse her father's proposal on the spot, so she stretched out her right hand, grabbed Ye Ming's left palm, pinched it vigorously, and motioned for him to quickly agree.

Ye Ming was originally ordered to propose marriage tonight, but at this moment, Xia Bicheng unexpectedly raised the issue of engagement, where did he dare to be stubborn.

Therefore, after Xia Bicheng finished saying that, he just thought for a few seconds, and then said in a very respectful tone: "Director Xie Lu Xie Xia looks up to me, and Xie Lu Xie Chuchu's affection for me, in fact, I came today to implore you and Aunt Zeng to agree to me to have a relationship with Chu Chu, so I am willing to get engaged to Chu Chu, and promise you and Aunt Zeng: I will definitely be good to Chu Chu in the future, and I will definitely make Chu Chu happy, please rest assured that you and Aunt Zeng will be happy." ”
