On the other side, Chen He and Cheng Qingya also came to the Cheng family together.
The Cheng family has been in business for a hundred years and made their fortune in the shoemaking industry. Cheng Jinsong's father was known as the shoe king during his lifetime.
The Cheng family used to be very prosperous.
With the impact of e-commerce in recent years, their shoe brand remains famous, but the company has been making losses every year and its market value has plummeted.
Despite this, the Cheng family is still very wealthy.
After all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse.
The Cheng family residence is located in the Xingyun District, hidden in Qinghe Street, where the wealthy live. It is located at the end of the street, and the house number is posted outside the iron gate.
No. 289 Qinghe Street.
Ma Kai parked the car in the roadside parking space outside the Cheng family's courtyard wall. "Our car can't drive in. Someone from the Cheng family will come to pick us up."
As he spoke, he heard the iron gate open to both sides, and a middle-aged man in a butler's uniform walked out with his hands hanging down.
"Ms. Shen, Ms. Qingya, welcome to the Cheng family."
The butler introduced himself, "I am Chen Ru'an, the head steward of the Cheng family. You can call me Xiao Chen. The carriage is ready. Please follow me, my two distinguished guests."
Chen He and Cheng Qingya got on the electric car used within the Cheng family manor.
The car drove around a pleasant artificial lake for two or three minutes and finally stopped in front of a luxurious European-style villa with a sense of age.
Chen He calmly surveyed the large mansion before him. Before he had finished, he heard Cheng Song's voice shout, "Chen He!"
Chen He looked up and saw a sapphire blue shadow running out of the Cheng family villa.
When he got closer, Shen He realized that it was Cheng Song wearing a jeweled wool coat.
Cheng Song is short and thin, and the wide-leg coat he wears always gives people the awkward feeling of a child wearing an older man's clothes.
Shen He respected his personal aesthetic and kindly complimented him: "The color of this dress is very nice."
Cheng Song curled his lips, "Implying that the person wearing this dress is not good enough?"
"That's not the case..." Chen He made a sudden turn and said, "It's a long way off."
Cheng Song was furious.
He still had half a handful of uneaten pistachios in his hand.
Hearing this, he angrily handed the pistachio to Chen He, then took off his coat and stuffed it into the butler next to him, "Take it away, take it away, my goddess said this dress doesn't suit me!"
Butler Chen felt a little embarrassed and dutifully reminded Cheng Song, "Second Young Master, you should go back to your room and put on some clothes, or you might catch a cold."
"It's okay, there's heating at home, it's not cold."
Chen He took out the gift box she had brought from the trunk and handed it to Cheng Song. "I heard that Uncle Cheng had an operation a few days ago. I finally got some free time today, so I came with Sister Qingya to visit him."
"Songyuan airlifted a batch of hairy crabs yesterday. They're large and rich in roe. I heard Aunt Du likes hairy crabs, so I brought her four pairs."
"It's enough for you to just show up, and bring a gift. Why are you being so polite?" Having said that, Cheng Song still stretched out his hands to take the gift box at the first opportunity.
He told Shen He: "Actually, I like to eat it too. Just think of it as you bringing it to me."
Shen He chuckled.
Cheng Song then called out to Cheng Qingya, "Cousin."
Cheng Qingya has always maintained a distant attitude towards the Cheng Song brothers. She responded coldly, which was just a greeting.
The relationship between Cheng Qingya's family and Cheng Song's family is rather awkward, and Cheng Song doesn't have any sisterly feelings towards Cheng Qingya.
Therefore, seeing Cheng Qingya's cold attitude, Cheng Song didn't take it to heart.
"Let's go inside." Cheng Song walked in front and said, "You've come at the right time. My mother usually goes out to play mahjong in the afternoon, but today we have guests, so she happened to be home."
"Do you have guests?" Chen He pondered, "Then let's come back another day so as not to disturb Aunt Du from reminiscing with her guests."
"No need, they are not guests coming from far away, it's just Ou Yalan and her aunt." When Cheng Song mentioned Ou Yalan, his expression became unhappy.
He asked Shen He: "Do you know Ou Yalan?"
Shen He shook his head thoughtfully, "I've heard her name, but I've never seen her."
Chen He and Ou Yalan were not in the same circle. They had heard of each other's names but had never met each other.
Cheng Yang muttered, "My parents want to form an alliance with the Ou family, so the elders from both sides have been in contact more frequently recently."
"Don't leave. The upper class circle in Qing City is so small. If you marry Uncle Song, you will inevitably have to deal with the women of these families in the future."
"We're bound to get to know each other sooner or later, so why not take this opportunity to meet and strengthen our relationship?"
If it were any other guest, Shen He wouldn't join in the fun.
But it happened to be Ou Yalan.
"Sorry to bother you then."
The weather was getting a bit cold, so Du Yuling asked the servants to move the afternoon tea to the detached glass house behind the villa.
This is a large glass greenhouse, and the flowers inside are all taken care of by Du Yuling herself.
Cheng Song took Chen He and Cheng Qingya directly to the greenhouse in the back to meet Du Yuling.
"mom!"
Before he even entered the house, Cheng Song opened his voice and shouted loudly: "Chen He and cousin Qingya are here!"
Hearing this, Du Yuling put down the cup of black tea in her hand and wiped her lips with a handkerchief.
"I heard that Miss Shen and Mr. Song have already obtained their marriage certificate and will be married before the New Year. She came to visit my husband today on behalf of Mr. Song."
Du Yuling stood up after saying this and said, "I have to go pick her up."
Hearing this, Ou Yalan's aunt Ou Ying also patted Ou Yalan's hand, "Yalan, let's go pick up Miss Shen too."
Ou Yalan was a little hesitant.
Ou Ying suddenly chuckled and said to Ou Yalan in front of Du Yuling: "The Cheng family and the Song family are old friends, so they will definitely interact with each other in the future."
