Chapter Thirty-Six: Another Dispute
I lived here like this for a while, but there was still a month before the old man's birthday, and the two of them gradually couldn't stand it anymore. On this day, when drinking afternoon tea, Zheng Chenheng couldn't help but raise this question, wanting to go back for a while to deal with official business, and definitely come back before the old man's birthday.
Of course, after he boldly raised this question, the answer he got was only a roll of the old man's eyes and a cruel sentence, "What official business do you handle?" If you dare to leave, I will leave you with no official business to deal with in the future! ”
The old man was iron-hearted this time, even Xi Chen also opened his mouth to explain, and what he got was still a white eye from the old man, and then he threw his sleeves away angrily. Such a result made the two of them look at each other, and finally could only sigh helplessly.
In this way, the two of them endured with some suffering, and finally waited for the old man's birthday. The venue of the banquet was in this manor, and the people had arranged everything two days in advance, and on the night of the old man's birthday, the whole manor was bright and luxurious.
There are countless people who came to congratulate the old man on his birthday, all of them are some big people with heads and faces, and this time they are low-key, and many people are not invited. But Mr. Zheng is not an ordinary person, and when he heard the news, there were more uninvited people.
The entire courtyard hillside is full of beautiful neon lights among the lush flowers and trees, and the long dining table is filled with countless delicacies and wines. Zheng Chenheng and Zheng Xichen accompanied the old man, and the people who came to toast surrounded them, and the words of congratulations sounded.
Among the waves of visitors, Zheng Chenheng saw a familiar figure, and the visitors were obviously stunned when they saw him, and there was a trace of astonishment in their sudden realization. Cong Jiaxin really didn't expect that Zheng Chenheng had a relationship with Old Man Zheng, looking at the current form, I am afraid that it will be Old Man Zheng's only son!
God, if this is the case, then his daughter will inevitably fight for him, and it is an unexpected blessing to have Zheng Chenheng as a son-in-law! Cong Jiaxin stepped forward quickly, looked at Zheng Chenheng and nodded and smiled, Zheng Chenheng still said hello to his face.
Zheng Chenheng's greeting immediately made the people around the old man look at him, and the Cong family was new enough to save face. Holding a wine glass and toasting to the old man, because Zheng Chenheng also knew him, the old man's attitude was much more enthusiastic.
"Haha, I didn't expect Councilor Cong to know this kid Chen Heng, it's really unexpected!"
"Mr. Zheng doesn't know, I can know Chen Heng completely because of my little daughter, she is fortunate to be friends with Chen Heng, what a rare fate!" Cong Jiaxin smiled, but his eyes looked at Zheng Chenheng.
His words were quite vague, and he didn't say the relationship between the two of them directly, after all, Old Man Zheng didn't know about it, which means that Zheng Chenheng didn't plan to tell his family yet. Although he really hoped that Old Man Zheng would know about this matter, it would be too necessary for their family, but Zheng Chenheng didn't speak, and he didn't say much.
"Okay, it turns out that the little girl and Chen Heng are friends, and I haven't heard Chen Heng talk about it yet." Old Man Zheng said politely, and then looked at Zheng Chenheng and deliberately reproached: "You kid, why didn't you say it just now, how did you and Miss Cong meet, and how is the relationship?" ”
"Miss Cong used to be my younger sister, and now we are ...... It's boyfriend and girlfriend! After thinking about it, Zheng Chenheng still decided to say truthfully.
"What, why don't you say such a big thing? You bastard! "Old Man Zheng can be described as a pleasant surprise, and looking at the new eyes of the Cong family is another round of change." That's the case, haha, I don't know if the little girl came over today! If you come, you should let my old man meet him! ”
"No, Huifang is at home, and there is a chance for her to come and visit you in person!" Cong Jiaxin was actually very happy when he saw Old Man Zheng's attitude, as long as the old man agreed with their relationship, he had nothing to worry about.
The old man enthusiastically pulled Cong Jiaxin to the table and sat down, and the people next to him were envious when they saw Cong Jiaxin get such an honor. Zheng Chenheng didn't react too much, and wanted to follow him but heard a cold snort beside him, and suddenly stopped.
Turning his head and seeing Zheng Xichen looking at him with a tense face and sarcastic expression, Zheng Chenheng suddenly chuckled in his heart, wanting to explain something, but in the end he didn't say anything. Actually, it was an accident for the Cong family to come here today, and the matter between him and Cong Huifang was still uncertain, and he didn't want the old man to know. It's just because of Xichen's matter, it's understandable to say this now!
"Zheng Chenheng, you stop!" Seeing Zheng Chenheng sighing, and finally going forward without saying anything, Zheng Xichen opened his mouth angrily. "What, is this an official meeting between the parents of both sides, do you really want to marry that woman?"
"Xiao Chen, can you stop making trouble, haven't we gotten along very well during this time? What the hell do you want, isn't it good to live like this? Zheng Chenheng really didn't know what to say, if he said something serious, it would hurt his heart, and if he didn't say it, Xichen would always say something and do something distressing.
"Yes, I'm just making trouble, so you're satisfied! Okay, your life events have been settled, and the old man is even more happy today, you can now go and discuss with them! After saying this hatefully, he suddenly poured down the wine in the cup, and the cup was heavily placed on the table next to him, and the person turned around and left.
Zheng Chenheng was speechless, and his heart began to become irritable, he wanted to chase but couldn't, so he could only come to the old man with a calm face and sit down. The old man was very happy to see him, he really didn't expect this son who made him so sad to have a major event in his life, he was really gratified!
"Chen Heng, I really didn't expect that you kid finally did the right thing! I'm very satisfied with Miss Cong, you should also take care of it, if you can, your affairs will be settled! Old Man Zheng said with a smile, glanced around, and didn't find that Xi Chen's shadow was a little puzzled, "What about Xiao Chen, where are you going?" ”
"He's in there, leave him alone!" Regarding Old Man Zheng's words, Zheng Chenheng responded absentmindedly, looking at Cong Jiaxin's happy face, he was even more irritable in his heart. "Forget it, you talk, I'll go find him!"
After speaking, he nodded to the two of them, got up and walked towards the villa. Looking for a place, I didn't see Xi Chen's figure, and when I finally went around the garden, I looked at the sparkling swimming pool in front of me, and there was a thin and lonely figure sitting by the pool, and the figure drinking alone showed endless sadness and sorrow!
