Li Xue followed behind Wen Jiaojiao, excitedly saying:
"Miss, I think you're definitely going to be famous. I was completely mesmerized when you played the piano just now. When the movie is actually shown, you'll be an instant star."
Wen Jiaojiao didn't dare mention how she and Li Mu had been having a great conversation one second and then suddenly changed their attitude the next.
She lowered her head and said, "Just call me Jiaojiao."
Li Xue: "Is something on your mind?"
"It's alright." After Wen Jiaojiao finished speaking, and as Li Xue breathed a sigh of relief, she added one last sentence:
"He won't die for now."
Li Xue: "???"
It was evening.
When Wen Zhaoye arrived at Global Shipping Company, many of the clerks cast surprised glances at him.
He followed Li Zhu to the 19th floor in the elevator. Jiang Peitian glanced up at him, smiled slightly, and stood up, saying:
"You're here! I just made an appointment with someone, I'll take you to meet them."
Wen Zhaoye nodded: "Mm."
After Jiang Peitian stepped out of the elevator, ignoring the stares from everyone, he said in a gentle voice:
"What would you like to eat? I'll have someone make a reservation at a restaurant."
All eyes turned to Wen Zhaoye, who said calmly, "Anything is fine."
"Then let's have Chinese food." Jiang Peitian turned his head and spoke to Li Zhu, then asked again with a smile:
Are there any dietary restrictions?
"Either is fine," Wen Zhaoye replied, his tone unchanged.
Seeing the three leave, the crowd couldn't help but gossip:
"Who is it? Assistant Li is personally running around doing everything for him, and the boss is still fawning over him like that."
"And didn't you see the boss was smiling very kindly?"
"The key is that the boss kept asking questions, but the man still had a cold face. When did such a big shot emerge in Hong Kong?"
"It might be from abroad."
"…………"
The private room was quiet and elegant, with a variety of exquisite Chinese dishes laid out on the table.
Jiang Peitian sat cross-legged on the chair, turning his head to look at Wen Zhaoye and said:
"The person we'll meet later is the biggest real estate developer in Hong Kong. Her daughter just returned from abroad and will be here today as well."
Wen Zhaoye immediately understood what he meant. He frowned slightly, considering that Jiang Peitian had indeed helped him a lot.
Even if you don't like blind date-style gatherings, it's not easy to just walk away and leave.
Jiang Peitian, who knew countless people, could easily see through his thoughts. He said in a consoling tone:
"It's just a meeting, don't overthink it."
Wen Muwan stated bluntly:
"In short, I won't like it, and I hope you won't force me."
Jiang Peitian raised his eyebrows slightly, his expression revealing neither belief nor disbelief.
Outside the restaurant, a woman was shoved out of a car. She had fashionable long, wavy hair, a playful and sweet face, but her expression was impatient as she said:
"Dad, I don't want to go. What era are we living in? Why are we still doing this kind of blind date thing?"
Li Hai, with his protruding belly, gently comforted him:
"It's not a blind date, it's just a meal. Don't you even give your Uncle Jiang face?"
Li Tian pointed to her own nose and questioned him:
"You want me to go on a blind date with Uncle Jiang? Do you think his wife will let me off the hook?"
Li Hai was momentarily speechless, then spoke:
"No, this person is his son, his biological son, and his only child. Tell me, if you don't want someone like this, what kind of person would you want?"
Li Tian: "Our family is so rich, why should we care about these things? Besides, you probably haven't even met or known about his son who suddenly appeared. How dare you ask me to come?"
Li Hai: "Your Uncle Jiang only said one thing: that kid, like him, started his own factory before he was even found. Doesn't that mean he's good-looking and capable?"
Li Tian brushed a stray hair from her temple and tucked it behind her ear. She chuckled and said:
"Heh~ He probably meant that he's a womanizer like himself. After all, if someone makes his fortune by relying on women and still dares to have affairs outside, what kind of good son can he have?"
Li Hai, startled, hurriedly covered her mouth, turned his head to look around, and when he didn't see Jiang Peitian, he breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Silly girl, you can't say that. Besides, it's okay for a man to have fun outside, as long as he doesn't get a divorce and comes home, that's fine."
Li Tian's eyes widened, her previous cuteness vanished, and she said with slight annoyance:
"I won't fall for that. If the man I marry ever does this again, I'll chop him up without even asking who he is."
Li Hai had no choice but to say:
"Okay, okay, okay, first you have to get married."
Li Tian took out her phone and said:
"And this son isn't Aunt Qi's biological child, is he? Does that mean Jiang Ci won't have anything to do with the inheritance? No, I have to make a phone call to let her know."
Li Hai was sweating profusely and hurriedly snatched her phone:
"No, no, that won't do. Your Uncle Jiang only told me because he trusts me. He wants to match you two up."
Besides, the family business will all be his by then, which means it will all be yours too. Our two families are well-matched, a powerful alliance, isn't that great?"
Li Tian argued:
"Wouldn't Jiang Ci suffer a huge loss? She's my sister. If I don't stand by her side now and instead plot against her assets, what's the difference between me and a beast?"
"What do you mean by 'beast'? Dad is doing this for your own good. Just meet him first, and if you like him, then date him."
If you don't like it, just pretend it never happened. However, before your Uncle Jiang makes it public,
Don't tell anyone else that he has a son, otherwise you'll be pushing your father into a fire pit.
Li Tian crossed her arms and squinted at him, saying:
"You said it yourself: just meet, if it doesn't work out, then break up, you'll never force me?"
Li Hai nodded helplessly, and Li Tian finally calmed down and entered the restaurant.
With a click, the door to the private room was opened by the bodyguard. Li Tian crossed her arms and peeked inside.
