Chapter 127 Xie Qingcen, are you getting married?
Zeng Shuwan was still half-believing and half-doubting. She pursed her lips and said, "So these days, you helped that brat Xie Qingcen to hide it from me and Old Xie?"
"Qi Chong, you are really becoming more and more disobedient. You are not as sensible as before."
When Zeng Shuwan talked about her sad moments, she sniffed with a hint of grievance.
But his hand still held the household registration booklet tightly, as if he was afraid that Qi Chong would rush over and snatch it away.
Qi Chong pursed his lips, looking more helpless.
The old lady is obviously over seventy years old, but her temper seems to have remained in her youth, and in recent years, she has become more and more naughty.
There is a tendency to develop into an old naughty boy.
But what can she do? The old chairman dotes on her, Mr. Xie dotes on her, and the old lady has really never experienced any difficulties in her life.
If there is, then it is only the incident of the eldest daughter being kicked out of the Xie family a few years ago.
Fortunately, although the old lady is naughty, she is still sensible.
Qi Chong took a deep breath, raised his eyes, and smiled, "Madam, you are serious. I have always remembered your kindness to me. If you and the old chairman had not extended a helping hand to me when I was in the most difficult time, I would not be where I am today."
He did not come from a good family, but was a college student who truly rose from the mountains. He achieved everything through his own efforts.
His parents are farmers, and although he is the only child in the family, it is still difficult for them to send him to college.
However, he worked hard and, with the tuition money from his parents and his own part-time job, he managed to persevere until his junior year.
But a hemp rope always breaks at the thinnest part. During the summer vacation of his junior year, his father who went to work in the city died suddenly in a car accident. Just when he was anxious to sue for justice for his father, his mother was diagnosed with kidney failure.
Before he could recover from the grief of the death of a loved one, he had to face the death of his mother again.
Because his family had no money to treat his mother's illness at that time, and the compensation for his father's car accident could not even sustain his mother's illness for a few days.
No matter how powerful and capable Qi Chong was, he was just a student who had not yet left the campus at that time.
The double burden of life and family broke his spine. He couldn't give up his mother. He had already lost his father, so how could he lose his mother again?
During that period, Qi Chong was as thin as a bamboo pole and would almost fall down if the wind blew.
Just when he was ready to give up his studies and go out to work to earn money for his mother's medical treatment, he met the old chairman and the old lady.
The old lady felt pity for him, while the old chairman valued his ability and temperament.
It just so happened that his situation at that time met the conditions of Xie’s charity, so the old chairman and the old lady naturally funded him.
Not only did she help treat his mother, but she also helped him complete his studies.
It can be said that Qi Chong’s current success is absolutely inseparable from the help of Zeng Shuwan and Xie Qingcen’s father, Chairman Xie.
Qi Chong is not an ungrateful person. Almost as soon as he graduated, he joined Hanfei based on his own talents and hard work.
Without relying on anyone, he grew step by step from an ordinary professional to Xie Qingcen's personal assistant.
He was even once the right-hand man of Xie Qingcen's father.
This just goes to show that Xie Qingcen's father still has some vision, but probably not much.
So no matter what happens, as long as Hanfei doesn't go bankrupt, Qi Chong will never leave or betray the Xie family.
The smile on Qi Chong's lips deepened a little. He stood there quietly, with a hint of gratitude in his calm eyes.
There is not the slightest bit of aggression towards Hanfei and in the business world.
However, Zeng Shuwan was still a little reluctant. It wasn't that she didn't believe or doubt Qi Chong, but now she really wanted to find out what kind of person her daughter-in-law was.
She raised her hand to wipe away the non-existent tears in her eyes, then looked at Qi Chong, "If that's the case, then let me meet the person that brat is going to get married with, so I can have a better idea of what's going on!"
When Qi Chong heard this, his expression hesitated for a moment.
But after a few seconds, he shook his head firmly at Zeng Shuwan, "I'm sorry, old lady. Before I came here, Mr. Xie repeatedly told me not to disturb Miss Ruan. When the time comes, he will naturally bring people to see you in person."
"Qi Chong!" Zeng Shuwan immediately put away the grievance on her face, her eyes filled with displeasure, "You just said that you have never changed, then what are you doing now!"
"You dare to stop me?"
Zeng Shuwan straightened her back, making herself look serious, and with a little presbyopia, she stared at Qi Chong intently.
The corners of his lips were straightened in anger.
Qi Chong knew Zeng Shuwan's temper. He looked down at the time on his phone, smiled at Zeng Shuwan and said, "Madam, but Mr. Xie is my boss now. And there is only less than an hour left before the Civil Affairs Bureau closes. If you don't let go, Mr. Xie may not be able to get a marriage certificate today."
"If Mr. Xie's girlfriend gets angry about this, then Mr. Xie won't be around anymore. Then, Madam, your grandchildren won't be around anymore."
The anger on Zeng Shuwan's face stopped for a moment. She pursed her lips and loosened her grip on the household registration booklet.
Seeing this, Qi Chong smiled silently, then raised his hand to push the glasses on his nose, and a gleam of light flashed in his dark brown eyes.
He said in a gentle voice, "We all know Mr. Xie's temper. His persistence is inherited from you and the old chairman. Besides, old lady, don't you believe in Mr. Xie's vision?"
Zeng Shuwan fell silent for a moment.
Although Xie Qingcen is not very obedient in some matters and has been a deep-minded person since childhood, his vision is very trustworthy.
From childhood to adulthood, Xie Qingcen has never let them down in major matters.
Zeng Shuwan sighed suddenly, raised her hand, and handed the household registration booklet to Qi Chong, "Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and deliver it to them."
"Also, don't forget to remind that brat to bring the person back to me as soon as possible."
Qi rushed forward and took the household registration booklet from Zeng Shuwan's hand, put it away carefully, and then nodded and said, "Okay, old lady, I will definitely remind Mr. Xie and will never let him forget this matter."
Zeng Shuwan: "Yeah."
Qi Chong bowed slightly to Zeng Shuwan, then turned around and prepared to leave the old house.
While walking, I looked at the time with my hand, and at the same time calculated in my mind the time required on the road, wondering whether I should change the route.
So as not to keep Xie Qingcen waiting for a long time.
However, just as he walked to the door of the old house, Zeng Shuwan behind him seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said, "By the way, I will hold a family dinner at home in a few days to entertain the two children of the Fu family. Don't forget to tell Xie Qingcen about this."
"Don't let him be late. This is the first time for those two kids to come to the Xie family."
Finally, Zeng Shuwan seemed to be worried, and warned with a heavier tone, with anticipation in her eyes.
It is not difficult to see how much Zeng Shuwan missed and regretted Xie Qingshu in her heart during the years since Xie Qingshu left the Xie family and even after her death.
Qi Chong paused slightly and frowned unconsciously.
He turned around and fell silent.
Obviously, he remembered Fu Yanci's attitude when he came to Hanfei to seek Xie Qingcen's help a few days ago. A person like that was not worth the old lady's trouble.
Also, these days, Fu Yanci had been doing those little things in private. He thought he was doing them secretly, but he didn't know that every single one of them had been heard by Xie Qingcen.
His meanness is completely exposed.
But it is still the Xie family's family affair after all. Besides, isn't the reason why Xie Qingcen pretends to forgive Fu Yanci because of the old lady's knot in her heart?
Qi Chong pursed his lips lightly and nodded slightly, "Yes, I understand."
…
On the other side, as soon as Ruan Liuzheng left the bank, she called Xie Qingcen.
As expected, the phone rang for less than three seconds before the person on the other end answered it.
Ruan Liuzheng turned the steering wheel and drove the car out of the bank's parking lot while thinking about how to start the conversation.
Perhaps as if they had telepathic connection, she did not say anything, and neither did Xie Qingcen on the opposite side.
At this time, Xie Qingcen was sitting on the reception sofa in his office. In front of him was a clerk from a jewelry store that was famous in China and even internationally.
From the moment he received Ruan Liuzheng's call, he had already guessed what Ruan Liuzheng was thinking.
He curled the corners of his lips slightly, raised his hand to stop the jewelry store clerk's introduction, then stood up and walked slowly to the floor-to-ceiling window, a faint smile appearing in his dark eyes.
Xie Qingcen was not in a hurry to speak. He was waiting, waiting for Ruan Liuzheng to muster up the courage, waiting for Ruan Liuzheng to state his purpose himself.
Even though he was extremely anxious inside, he didn't show it on his face.
Since everything has been settled, he has plenty of time to play around with Ruan Liuzheng.
For a moment, the atmosphere fell into an inexplicable silence.
Through two mobile phones, two people who were far apart were connected together. Through the receiver, they could hear each other's breathing, as if the person on the other side was right next to them.
Finally, after an unknown amount of time, Ruan Liuzheng calmed down. She looked straight ahead and let out a breath of foul air from between her pale pink lips.
As if he had made a great decision, his pair of cold almond-shaped eyes were full of determination.
From the moment she saw the letter from her grandfather and from the moment she met Feng Zhuyi and Bai Huanqing, Ruan Liuzheng's ever-wavering heart finally settled down.
She knew very clearly that perhaps doing so was hasty and might go against the original intention of her grandfather's will, but nothing was more important than taking back what belonged to the Ruan family.
That is the industry that my grandparents have worked hard for their entire lives. It is not just a string of cold numbers.
Jiahe, including the old house that was taken away by Bai Xunan and Feng Zhuyi, has extremely extraordinary significance not only to grandparents, but also to the mother.
She could no longer allow Bai Xunan and the others to defile her.
She must take back what she lost, let Jiahe regain its former glory, and let her grandparents and mother rest in peace.
Ruan Liuzheng raised her eyes slightly, her tone clear and rational.
She opened her lips and said, "Xie Qingcen, are you getting married?"
