Chapter 1497: Duplicity
Chu Lingfeng frowned: "What girl?"
Uncle Wei kept it a secret and said, "You'll know when you come. It's a good thing anyway!"
The two ended the call.
Chu Lingfeng glanced at Aying in the passenger seat, who was also looking at him.
Just as he came to a sharp turn, Chu Lingfeng looked back at the road ahead.
Aying also turned her head and stared at the scenery outside the window.
None of them spoke, and they all knew very well what Uncle Wei's words just now meant.
Although he couldn't tell exactly why Xiao Chongyang wanted to introduce girls to him and what his plan was, he suspected it had something to do with arranged marriages.
Xiao Chongyang had thought about this before, wanting to strengthen the Xiao and Chu families through marriage, but he had never found a suitable marriage partner.
If he really wanted to get married, how could he refuse? In other words, could he refuse?
Xiao Chongyang held the leverage over him in his hand, which was enough to make all his previous efforts come to nothing.
Therefore, all along, whenever Xiao Chongyang asked Chu Lingfeng for something, he could only agree unconditionally.
He is like a chess piece, unable to move forward or backward at will.
The only order that was not obeyed was probably the assassination of Gu Hanye.
For this, Xiao Chongyang also punished him severely, whether it was by assassinating his capable subordinates to make an example of them, or restricting the development of his company as a deterrent, and even almost killing Xiao Jiu.
So this time, how should he reject Xiao Chongyang's "good intentions"?
Can you really get the stability you want by compromising again and again?
Chu Lingfeng looked at Aying again.
Her eyes were a little red, she pursed her lips and said nothing.
Ah Ying must also know that he cannot refuse Xiao Chongyang because he has never refused before.
So now she is afraid and aggrieved, but she can't say it.
What's more, I have never given Aying any promise or status. She must feel that I have no right to question his personal feelings.
Chu Lingfeng felt upset and wanted to say something to her, but he didn't know how to say it.
If the problem is not solved, a few words of verbal comfort will be useless.
The most important thing is to find a way to deal with it...
We arrived home in silence.
Chu Lingfeng drove the car into the garage and turned off the engine.
Just as I was about to get off the bus, I saw Aying sitting in her seat with her head down, seemingly having no intention of getting off.
"We're home." Chu Lingfeng reminded.
"Master, I just remembered that you have a very important business partner to receive the day after tomorrow evening." She said with a thick nasal voice.
Chu Lingfeng was about to get off the bus, but then sat back down again.
"Which business partner?"
"Mr. Li."
"Which Mr. Li?"
"I can't remember the name... I'll go back and look it up."
Of course he knew that Aying didn't want him to attend the banquet, so she made up a story on the spur of the moment. But even if Mr. Li was there this time, who would he rely on to turn him down next time?
What is meant to come will come.
Chu Lingfeng turned Aying's shoulders and gently wiped her tears.
"Why are you crying? I haven't agreed yet."
She raised her eyes and said, "Even if you don't agree, I hope you will agree."
Chu Lingfeng sighed inwardly. This silly girl always considered things from his perspective.
Are you afraid that he will anger Xiao Chongyang and suffer the consequences, so you would rather hand him over to someone else?
He patted Aying on the shoulder and said, "Don't let your imagination run wild for now. I'll go and take a look when the time comes."
"What are you looking at? Are you looking at whether she's pretty or not?"
"I don't even know if you're going to introduce a girlfriend to me. There's no point in thinking about it in advance."
"What if I really introduce you to a girlfriend?" Ah Ying looked into his eyes and asked, "Will the young master agree?"
Chu Lingfeng narrowed his eyes. This girl said one thing but meant another. She had just said that she hoped he would agree, but now she wanted to hear a different answer from him.
If that’s the case, why did you pretend to be strong and magnanimous just now?
He said calmly, "Then let's see if she's pretty. If she is, I'll agree. If not, forget it."
