Chapter 68 The Passerby in the True and False Qianjinwen 4
Cheng Yao’s roundabout route is very useful, after all, his identity is there.
In the past, Mr. Ke had no chance to please him even if he tried to please him. Now, Cheng Yao took the initiative to condescend to talk to Mr. Ke, and Mr. Ke didn't care what Cheng Yao's purpose was.
He actually hoped that Cheng Yao would fall in love with Ke Xiaoxia.
With Cheng Yao as his son-in-law, Mr. Ke feels that he can wake up laughing in his dreams.
When he saw Cheng Yao again and Cheng Yao took the initiative to talk to him, Ke's father suggested:
"Mr. Cheng is really different from what was rumored. He is very approachable. Rumors are really unbelievable. I wonder if Mr. Cheng would be so kind as to have dinner with us?"
In fact, Mr. Ke didn't want to be so proactive, but he couldn't resist Ke Xiaoxia at home who kept brainwashing him.
"Cheng Yao took the initiative to talk to me, which means he must have some intention. He doesn't think highly of our small business, and we only met once..."
"Anyway, Dad, you can try to invite him to dinner. If you can invite him to our house, it will prove that he is indeed up to something bad."
At first, Mr. Ke was a little afraid of accidentally offending someone, and Ke Hongyuan also discouraged him.
But Ke Xiaoxia's tone was particularly firm: "It's just inviting him to dinner. What's there to offend? He took the initiative to talk to you, not you. If he doesn't want to, the most he can do is refuse."
Mother Ke also said, "Xiao Xia is right. He took the initiative to talk to you, so you should just invite him to dinner. It's not a big deal. What if he really agrees? Old Ke, when did you become so cowardly?"
Brainwashing is still very effective. Of course, it can't stop Mr. Ke from being eager to make a move. But when doing business, one always has to consider more and needs others to give him some courage.
Ke Hongyuan: “…” You only listen to good words and not bad words, right?
Now, Mr. Ke has taken the initiative.
Mr. Ke was still very nervous when he spoke.
But Cheng Yao was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Sure, no need to spend money, just a home-cooked meal will do."
Father Ke's eyes lit up.
The two people with the same ideas hit it off immediately.
However, when they set out for Ke's house, they met Cheng Rui again.
"What are you going to do? Why don't you take me with you?"
Cheng Yao said in a cold tone: "Have you resolved the issue with your fiancée?"
Cheng Rui couldn't help but sigh: "The issue of real and fake daughters is a lie. My parents will definitely not let me marry a fake daughter, so this engagement is dead in name only."
"Our Cheng family doesn't have to form an alliance. Why don't you tell them and let me pursue my own love?"
At the end, Cheng Rui's gaze fell on Ke's father.
But he knew that this was Ke Xiaoxia's father.
Cheng Rui gave Mr. Ke a friendly smile.
Naturally, Mr. Ke had to smile apologetically, but he didn't think much about it. He just thought that Cheng Rui was doing it for Cheng Yao's sake.
Seeing this, Cheng Yao's expression became even colder: "As long as the engagement is not officially cancelled, it still exists. Go and tell them yourself. I have something else to do."
Cheng Yao directly asked Mr. Ke to leave.
He left very decisively.
Father Ke also had to say hello to Cheng Rui: "Mr. Cheng, I'll leave first."
Cheng Rui said in a friendly tone: "Goodbye, uncle."
Father Ke was startled by the title, but seeing that Cheng Rui looked normal, he did not break his composure. He smiled, nodded, and left.
After getting in the car, Cheng Yao said, "Don't pay attention to Cheng Rui. He's used to being out of tune."
Only after Mr. Ke agreed and said a few words did the crowd calm down.
At the Ke family, Ke's mother had already received the message from Ke's father's assistant and was ready early.
He also asked Ke Xiaoxia to tidy up and dress up nicely.
Ke Xiaoxia felt it was unnecessary.
"This shows how much we value him. Even if he already likes you, he will be happy to see you dress up for his coming, and he will like you even more."
"Hurry up and go upstairs to dress up. Wear a skirt and look decent."
Ke Xiaoxia went upstairs to change clothes, and Ke Hongyuan looked numb.
Ke's mother started to urge Ke Hongyuan again: "What are you doing sitting here? Hurry up and change into a more formal suit."
"Oh my god, is that necessary? They are just coming to my house for dinner, why should I wear a suit? I am fine in my current outfit, I don't want to wear a suit."
Mother Ke couldn't help but slap Ke Hongyuan twice: "You kid, you are not going to take over the company and not socialize anymore. Even if Mr. Cheng is your future brother-in-law, you have to leave a good impression on him. Go now."
Ke's mother pushed Ke Hongyuan and asked him to change his clothes quickly.
Ke Hongyuan stood up reluctantly, and couldn't help muttering: "I don't know where you get your confidence from. I'm really impressed."
When Cheng Yao arrived, he saw a family of three dressed neatly.
His eyes immediately fell on Ke Xiaoxia.
Ke Xiaoxia was wearing a white dress, with her long hair spread out behind her. She had a faint smile on her lips and a gentle temperament.
Cheng Yao looked at Ke Xiaoxia for a long time and was reluctant to look away. Ke's father, who was following him, wiped the sweat off his face imperceptibly.
Ke Hongyuan widened his eyes and looked back and forth between Cheng Yao and Ke Xiaoxia.
Mother Ke's smile was particularly meaningful.
She winked at Mr. Ke, and after Mr. Ke accepted the offer, he immediately introduced someone to Cheng Yao.
When introducing Ke's mother and Ke Hongyuan, Cheng Yao could only be described as being quite polite.
When introducing Ke Xiaoxia, Cheng Yao's icy voice softened a little.
After entering the living room, Ke Xiaoxia sat opposite Cheng Yao.
Cheng Yao could see Ke Xiaoxia as soon as he raised his eyes.
He always couldn't help looking at her, and her every move was particularly attractive to Cheng Yao.
Seeing this, Mother Ke said, "Although our Ke family is not as wealthy as your Cheng family, this residence is also exquisite and ingenious. Xiaoxia loves to study and wants to learn a little bit about everything. Many of the flowers in the garden are taken care of by Xiaoxia. Why not let Xiaoxia accompany Mr. Cheng to take a look?"
These words hit the mark exactly what Cheng Yao wanted.
Hearing that the flowers were actually taken care of by Ke Xiaoxia, Cheng Yao couldn't help but feel particularly excited.
Ke Xiaoxia felt that Ke's mother was quite capable of lying with her eyes open. She only watered the plants occasionally when she was free.
Complaining in her heart, Ke Xiaoxia still took Cheng Yao for a walk.
Their garden does have a lot of flowers, and it looks very beautiful.
After all, noble ladies like to socialize, and Ke's mother would also invite others to her house for tea.
Cheng Yao doesn't know how to appreciate flowers. He has no feelings about beauty or ugliness.
But when he thought that the flowers were taken care of by Ke Xiaoxia, he couldn't help but praise her: "The flowers are very beautiful, you took good care of them."
Ke Xiaoxia was silent for a moment, then accepted it calmly: "Thank you."
Cheng Yao is not a person who can't communicate, it's just that doing business is always different from facing the person you like.
He took the initiative to find a topic: "What are your hobbies?"
It feels like a blind date.
Ke Xiaoxia complained silently.
Ke Xiaoxia was not at a loss for words, and the conversation between the two was generally pleasant, and they even added each other as friends.
Of course it was Cheng Yao who suggested adding friends.
Because Ke Xiaoxia said that she could practice calligraphy and had made some progress, and Cheng Yao also dabbled in it, he took the initiative to say, "I have collected a few calligraphy works. If you are interested, you can leave your contact information and come to see them when the time comes."
Ke Xiaoxia added it accordingly.
While eating, Cheng Yao was also observing Ke Xiaoxia, mainly wanting to see what Ke Xiaoxia liked to eat.
At the same time, he had a good chat with Mr. Ke.
In the end, the way they addressed Mr. and Mrs. Ke simply became “Uncle and Aunt.”
Mr. and Mrs. Ke also started calling him "Xiao Yao."
This meal was a great pleasure for both the host and the guests.
Only Ke Hongyuan was stunned and felt like he was dreaming.
