Chapter 167: Unexpected News
The hostess nodded affirmatively.
"I'm sure!"
Luo's mother didn't believe her daughter's words. However, she did not refute either.
"Okay, since you are so confident in his character, then I will remain neutral. Let's get along, shall we? ”
In the living room, I sat for more than ten minutes before I saw the proprietress and her father Luo Changzhi come out of the study.
Luo Changzhi was the same as the last time I saw him, his whole body was meticulous, his hair was combed without a single mess, and his clothes were not wrinkled.
Seeing him come out, I hurriedly got up and took the initiative to say hello.
"Hello Uncle Luo!"
Although I tried to keep myself calm, my palms were still sweaty.
Luo Changzhi said "um", sat down opposite me, and his sharp eyes began to look at me.
Although Luo Changzhi has retired, he still retains the majesty of the superior, which makes me feel pressure.
He just stared at me without saying a word, as if he wanted to see through every cell in my body.
After two or three minutes, Luo Changzhi finally withdrew his gaze, and then began to seriously tinker with the set of gongfu tea sets on the coffee table.
Luo Changzhi began to talk to himself while making tea.
"Gongfu tea used to be an important social tool for Lingnan people. In recent years, it has also become popular in our city.
I've been retired for a few years, so I'll learn to drink a little with them. ”
As Luo Changzhi spoke, he skillfully began to wash the tea set, make tea, and pour tea. A set of movements is like a cloud of peers, very skillful.
"This gongfu tea is the same as people, tea leaves, tea sets, and water are very different. If you don't use good water, no matter how good the tea is, you won't be able to make good tea. Tea can only be wasted.
In the same way, no matter how good the water you use, the tea is not good, and you can't make good tea.
If you want to make good tea and drink it comfortably, the most important thing is to match the grade of tea and water. Only when the door is right can we be happy. ”
I know that Luo Changzhi seems to be casually chatting with me about the experience of making tea, but he is actually hinting to me that his daughter and I are like tea leaves and tea. The two of us have a huge gap in education, identity, and status, and if we are forcibly twisted together, there will be no good results.
I can't refute Luo Changzhi, what he said is indeed the truth.
But I can't help but express my attitude. Otherwise, it would be tantamount to agreeing with him. That would be tantamount to agreeing to give up continuing to associate with the boss lady.
"Uncle Luo, I think there is still a difference between people and tea. Interpersonal interactions and cooperation, including starting a family, are far more complicated than making tea.
In addition, there is one biggest difference between people and tea. The grade of tea and water is determined from the moment they are placed on the tea table.
But people's knowledge, wealth, and status are always changing.
A mismatch in the present does not mean a mismatch in the future.
Isn't there such a saying, 'Don't bully young people into poverty'! ”
The hostess was eavesdropping in the kitchen. Hearing that I successfully refuted her father, the proprietress quietly gave me a thumbs up.
But I quietly observed the expression of my future father-in-law, worriedly, for fear that my rebuttal would cause him to be unhappy.
As his daughter's boyfriend, I came to his house for the first time, so I should have been submissive to him. But I now blatantly refute the words of his Grand Director. I was worried that Luo Changzhi would be angry and would kick me out directly.
The expression on Luo Changzhi's face was still that unfazed, which made me unable to guess his inner thoughts.
I have to say that a person like Luo Changzhi, who used to be in a high position, is really deep in the city.
You can't guess what's going on in their hearts from the changes in their expressions. It also puts me under pressure.
Among all the people I know, Luo Changzhi is the one with the deepest in the city. Compared with him, my smart former boss Li Liangcai can't even catch up with him.
Even Xu Ying, who is also a public official, is far inferior to Luo Changzhi.
Looking at Luo Changzhi, who never saw any mood fluctuations on the other side, I felt like I was standing in front of a bottomless abyss. I have no way of knowing what kind of beast is hiding in this abyss!
In the face of such a terrible future father-in-law, cold sweat began to slowly break out on my back, and I didn't know what the consequences of my risky rebuttal would be on me.
Luo Changzhi just looked at me calmly, without saying a word and with a blank face.
The pressure in my heart is getting bigger and bigger, and I finally can't help but take the initiative to pick up the teacup and break this embarrassment.
"Uncle Luo, you drink tea!"
Only then did Luo Changzhi withdraw his gaze from me.
I was secretly relieved.
The mother and daughter in the kitchen seem to be cooking, but in fact, they are also quietly paying attention, and I am talking to Luo Changzhi in the living room. They both knew that the two of us seemed to be chatting, but we were actually secretly fighting.
Luo Changzhi didn't take the teacup I handed over, but took another cup for himself and took a sip gently.
"I'll admit that there is some truth to what you just said.
But just because you have that idea doesn't mean you can do it. Why should I gamble on an uncertain future with the happiness of my daughter's life? ”
The proprietress finally couldn't help it.
"Dad, you're saying that, it's a bit too much, isn't it?"
"Xiao Chen successfully helped me get back the fifteen million family property that belonged to me from Li Liangcai last time, hasn't he already proved his ability?
If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have gotten back a penny of my fifteen million fortunes.
Therefore, Xiao Chen can at least share half of the fifteen million! In other words, his current worth is equivalent to seven and a half million.
With his worth, he is worthy of a daughter from a second marriage, it should be about the same, right? ”
Luo Changzhi turned his head to look at his daughter, with a calm expression on his face.
"Fifteen million, did you get it?"
A hint of panic flashed in the proprietress eyes, but she immediately covered it up.
"Of course I got it!"
The proprietress spoke firmly, but I could see the look of weakness on her face.
Seeing the emptiness on the face of the proprietress made me understand instantly. The proprietress shared the fifteen million family property, but I am afraid that there will be problems.
I was about to ask the proprietress what was going on, when Luo Changzhi spoke again.
"Qingqing, you still want to lie to us, right? The fifteen million that Li Liangcai gave you is just an account receivable from a shell company.
If my guess is correct, these receivables are dead debts that cannot be recovered, right? ”
Speaking of this, Luo Changzhi's gaze swept over my face, and his tone was cold and ruthless.
In other words, he didn't actually get a penny back for you. You are simply taking what you don't have and taking credit for him in front of us!
Am I right? ”
Luo Changzhi's words were like a heavy hammer that smashed into my face.
