In the process of listening to Ye Ming's narration, Xia Bicheng became more and more surprised the more he listened, 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 even 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 sake of publicity and image, which is understandable. However, the general way of worship is to bow a few times in front of the statue, and it is rare to go to the grave to worship in person. Moreover, even if you go to the grave to worship, it is impossible to deliberately buy anything in the incense, candles and fruits to make offerings, at most you will lay 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 placed offerings and lit incense candles - this is obviously a measure to worship relatives! What's more, the day he chose to worship happened to be Ye Ming's mother's birthday, which could never be a coincidence, but a real proof: the woman he worshipped was his relative and his lover......

And the purpose of Xia Bicheng's interrogation of Ye Ming just now was to confirm his judgment again. Now, he has unmistakably affirmed that 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 she be closely connected with Secretary Lu. Moreover, in the future, Lu Nianzi, director of the National Development and Reform Commission, and Zhang Linjiang, director of the Ministry of Finance, will be his relatives. In the future, if you want to be promoted and progress, you will have a solid backer and back-up, 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 has since become the mistress of a high-ranking official and eunuch family as he wished, and the glory and wealth in the future are just around the corner......

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 moment, 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. After the report, Secretary Lu left me again and talked to me about you and Chu Chu. ”

As soon as Ye Ming and Xia Chuchu heard this, both of them let out an "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 for a while, and continued: "Secretary Lu is very concerned about your affairs. In his busy schedule, he still remembered the things he promised to be a matchmaker for Xiao Ye and Chu Chu. He told me that 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. Therefore, he proposed to me: let the two of you settle the family affairs in the near future, preferably with an engagement ceremony. When the time comes, he will congratulate you as a matchmaker. If you can, he might even attend your engagement ceremony in person! ”

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

Ye Ming didn't expect Xia Bicheng to 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 that's the case, then it's a bit of a big deal.

Therefore, he continued: "Xiao Ye, to tell you the truth: because there were some unfavorable rumors about you, there were also some people who sued you. Therefore, my opinion on you has always been more cautious. However, after so long observation, I feel that you, a young man, in spite of some shortcomings and faults, are a very talented, very capable, and very good young man. What's more, you should also know: Chu Chu has always been very good to you and has deep feelings for you. We parents know this very well.

"Therefore, your great-aunt and I both approve of your relationship with Chu Chu, and hope that the two of you will get engaged as soon as possible. You are all 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, and it is said that Secretary Li is also very approving of you being together. I think that so many people are optimistic about you, and 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 these few days, you and Chu Chu will hold an engagement ceremony. I know you're an orphan, so don't worry about the engagement, it's all up to our family. 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 at that time, therefore, Xia Bicheng suddenly forgot about his provincial bureau leader and reserved, and began to beg Ye Ming in a begging tone - this 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 his father's proposal on the spot. So, she stretched out her right hand, grabbed Ye Ming's left palm, and pinched it vigorously, signaling him to hurry up and 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 only thought for a few seconds, and then said in a very respectful tone: "Thank you, Director Xia, for looking up to me!" Thank you Chu Chu for your kindness to me! Actually, I came today to implore you and Aunt Zeng to agree to me to have a relationship with Chu Chu. Therefore, I am willing to get engaged to Chu Chu, and I promise you and Aunt Zeng: I will definitely be good to Chu Chu in the future and make Chu Chu happy. Please rest assured that you and Aunt Zeng! ”
