"The president asked me to pick you up and take you back to the old house, tonight is the day of the family dinner." Before coming, I happened to receive a call from Uncle Xu, who informed Zhong Ming that he remembered to go home to see the old man.

Lu Yi felt that it might be more appropriate for Zhong Ming himself to explain the original story, so he didn't explain much at the moment, waiting for Chen Xinyao's reply.

"But how could it be so sudden, wasn't it possible for me to go by myself?" Chen Xinyao always felt that something was wrong, obviously Zhong Ming had never let people pick her up deliberately before, and she usually drove back to the villa to meet him by herself.

And in the past two days, none of the messages she sent were replied to, obviously there was an unusual situation, which always made Chen Xinyao a little uneasy.

"Today's situation is special, the group has a meeting and there are some unexpected situations, the president is worried that the old man will be in a mood after he knows, so I think it's better to go back early today!" Lu Yi did not fully inform the specific events that occurred at the group meeting.

According to him, this Chen Xinyao is also bidding for the same project with Ou's people at the moment, according to Zhong Ming's temperament, he definitely doesn't like to let official affairs affect private affairs, after all, he has been following the other party for so many years, and he has never seen any personal factors and emotions in his work.

"But why didn't he reply to my message?" Chen Xinyao muttered to herself, but she seemed to want to get a satisfactory answer from the other party, but in the end she shook her head and added: "Forget it, I'll go with you now." ”

In the Chu family's old mansion, the servants had already prepared their things and were waiting for Zhong Ming and his wife to come back and have dinner together.

"Hefeng went home quite early on weekdays, why haven't I seen anyone today?" Old Man Chu casually mentioned it and asked the housekeeper about the situation.

Although he didn't particularly pay attention to and liked his second grandson, he was a child of his Chu family's bloodline, otherwise he wouldn't have relented and let Wang Lan enter the door back then. After so many years, the other party has done his best in the Chu family, except for the position of the heir, it is nothing more than a gift, and the rest is fine.

"The second young master just made a phone call, saying that he had an appointment with a distinguished guest today, and there may be no way to come back for dinner." The housekeeper mentioned the news that Chu Hefeng had just arrived, and was explaining to Old Man Chu.

"Our family and wind work so seriously, unlike someone who only knows all kinds of fun!" Wang Lan said unpleasant words again, and even Chu Haoxiong on the side couldn't help but give the other party a roll of his eyes and motioned her to stop for a while.

"It's a good thing that Hefeng can work so hard, Dad, let's have dinner when Tianyao comes back!" Chu Haoxiong couldn't help but come forward to ease the scene.

In fact, Chu Hefeng didn't go to see customers at all, but after experiencing the sparse memories of last night, he couldn't calmly watch Chen Xinyao and his wife appear in front of him, showing his feelings of affection.

That would be worse than a business failure, and Chu Hefeng would rather be alone for a while to buffer his emotions.

At the door of the old house, after Lu Yi picked up Chen Xinyao, he went straight to the house, but he never entered the door, they were all waiting for Zhong Ming to appear and then go in, this is their usual drama.

It's just that all this is particularly awkward today, at least Chen Xinyao's heart feels a little uncomfortable because of such a deliberate thing, and she can't say that she is dissatisfied.

"Young lady, the president has arrived." In a daze, it wasn't until she heard Lu Yi in the driver's seat say a few words of reminder that she came to her senses and glanced out the window.

Sure enough, the personable young man was slowly walking towards them, and Chen Xinyao clearly heard her heartbeat, as if she was playing a silent game.

"Tianyao." Chen Xinyao got out of the car and took the initiative to shout, thinking that the gentle Zhong Ming would come back that night a few days ago, but what was ushered in was a cold face from the other party.

"Well, let's go in, grandpa is still waiting!" Zhong Ming didn't have any emotion on her face, but it made Chen Xinyao more and more unpredictable, and she was a little scared at this time.

Originally, she didn't like to trace the source, but she also took the initiative to ask: "Why don't you reply to my message?" ”

"Is this necessary?" Zhong Ming paused in his steps and glanced at her extremely coldly, the depth in his eyes was still incomprehensible.

"Isn't it?" The other party's reply made Chen Xinyao a little irrational, she obviously didn't understand why this sudden change was, and simply felt that she was very depressed.

"What were you doing that night?" Zhong Ming suddenly said something, but he didn't give Chen Xinyao a chance to react, so he said on his own: "Grandpa should be in a hurry." ”

"What?" Chen Xinyao didn't understand the meaning of Zhong Ming's words for a while, when was that night? Did she do something wrong?

Obviously he left the apartment first, obviously he said that he would not go back to her that day, but why did all this suddenly become like this?

Chen Xinyao didn't understand, and she didn't want to think about it, but she simply felt that she was a little off the track that she should have, and before she had time to think about it, her hand was pulled into the door by Zhong Ming.

Although she could guess that the reason why Zhong Ming came to her today was just to play on the spot, but in the end she couldn't help it, no matter how big the changes happened, she didn't want Grandpa Chu to worry about this matter.

As soon as Chu Haoxiong's words fell at the table, she didn't expect to hear Chen Xinyao's voice, she walked to Old Man Chu with a faint smile and called the other party, "Grandpa." ”

immediately said hello to Chu Haoxiong, even if she didn't like Wang Lan, she tried to smile and nod her head in greeting.

"It's good to come, just wait for the two of you, Hefeng won't come back tonight." Old Man Chu has always favored this young couple, and everyone in the family knows about it, no matter how dissatisfied Wang Lan is with this, she has learned to hold back and not lose her temper.

"Okay." Chen Xinyao and Zhong Ming randomly picked a place and sat down next to each other, obviously not wanting to be seen by their grandfather at all, but fortunately, Zhong Ming had always been indifferent, and there was no big change in expression.

"Tianyao, I heard that you made a bet with Wang Dong on the board of directors today?" Before Old Man Chu mentioned it, Chu Haoxiong's father mentioned it first, and immediately attracted the attention of everyone at the table.

Wang Lan hopes that Zhong Ming will have an accident every day, but every time she makes the other party stumble, she doesn't know why, she can always be resolved inexplicably, not to mention how resentful she is.

"Well, I did make a bet, and before I could say it, I didn't expect you to be so well-informed." Zhong Ming rebelled against his father's army, and his words could be heard with a bit of sarcasm.

"I'm your father, so I naturally care about you, not to mention that there are many people in the company, I don't think it's hard to know." Chu Haoxiong's hand that was cutting the steak suddenly paused, and replied calmly.

"Oh? Tianyao, what the hell is going on?! "Old man Chu went out in the afternoon to attend the funeral of a former friend, so he didn't know what happened in the company today, and listening to Chu Haoxiong's tone at this time, it was not difficult to guess that this matter was definitely not a trivial matter.

On the other hand, Chen Xinyao, she was shocked, and instantly understood why Zhong Ming deliberately sent Lu Yi to pick her up today, it turned out that he was planning to use his grandfather's love for her to resolve this embarrassing contradiction.

"Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that when I talked about the shopping mall's bidding for that project, Director Wang proposed to use this project as a criterion to assess whether I can immediately take over as the heir?"

Zhong Ming said lukewarmly, as if he was mentioning something about others, and it had nothing to do with him.

"You promised?" Old Man Chu has always understood this child's arrogant temperament, and it is not difficult to guess that Zhong Ming must have agreed to this bet, which is why it caused such a big sensation within the group.

"That's nature, don't you believe me, grandpa?"

"It's good that you're sure, just don't let me and Jojo down." Old Man Chu didn't blame Zhong Ming for his recklessness at all, and the reason was naturally clear in his heart.
