Chapter 194 This is my daughter
"How he wants to treat me is his business." Chu Ci didn't care about Chu Yuheng's attitude and thoughts towards him.
Chu Ci had a blank expression on his face, and acted indifferently as if he was handling official business, without any emotion from the four people.
"Ah Ci... could you please not be so cold and heartless?"
"If you know I'm cold and heartless, don't waste your time on me."
Chu Ci is unmoved and nothing you say will help.
After Meng Qingyan’s persuasion failed, she had no choice but to give up and left Chu Ci’s room in embarrassment with the contract.
Then she went to her husband Chu Yuheng's study.
"How is it?" Chu Yuheng asked hurriedly, looking at the document in Meng Qingyan's hand.
Meng Qingyan shook her head with a disappointed look on her face. "She doesn't want to."
"Don't want to?" Chu Yuheng's expression changed immediately and his whole face became gloomy.
Meng Qingyan came to Chu Yuheng and spoke for Chu Ci: "Yuheng, Ah Ci has only been back for a short time and has limited time with us. Can we give her a little more time?"
"She hasn't been back for long, and she has already asked the old man to change the will to hers. If it's any longer, I'm afraid she will kick us out!"
Chu Yuheng said this angrily.
Meng Qingyan quickly comforted him: "Yuheng, don't think like that, Ah Ci is a good child, she won't do that."
Chu Yuheng was still angry, so Meng Qingyan continued, "Don't worry, I will continue to try to communicate with Ah Ci. Please give me a little more time."
Chu Yuheng could only let Meng Qingyan think of a solution first.
Because he hasn't found a way to change the old man's decision yet.
###
It’s Sunday, and several noble ladies came to the Chu family. They are Meng Qingyan’s friends in the circle.
When the ladies are free, they sit down together to have a meal, drink afternoon tea, and chat about things that seem like gossip but also like business.
The social interactions among wives are sometimes not just interactions between a few women, but may also affect the business dealings between the corporate groups represented by the men behind these women.
Chu Ci was forcibly dragged downstairs by Meng Qingyan to sit with everyone.
This was the first time Meng Qingyan formally introduced Chu Ci to everyone.
"This is my daughter. She was very unfortunate when she was young and got lost from me. Now I finally found her," Meng Qingyan introduced.
"Why haven't I heard you mention it before?"
A lady asked doubtfully.
Meng Qingyan sighed and said, "It's not convenient to talk about sad things. I almost thought she would never come back to me."
Since Meng Qingyan had said so, the ladies didn't bother asking any further questions.
They all tried to comfort Meng Qingyan, "It's good that we can get it back."
"Finally, God has rewarded those who work hard. You and your daughter are reunited. It's a good ending."
Then several ladies looked at Chu Ci.
"You're so good-looking. You and Mr. Chu have good genes."
"Yes, this face is the prettiest I've seen in all these years."
Everyone was praising Chu Ci.
Chu Ci is a quiet person who just lies on the sofa and plays with his phone.
The scene made Meng Qingyan feel a little embarrassed.
She tried to remind Chu Ci to pay attention to the attitude of the elders.
But Chu Ci didn't know whether he didn't receive Meng Qingyan's reminder or simply didn't intend to give Meng Qingyan face, and kept his head down playing games.
At first, the ladies gathered around Chu Ci and talked to her for a while, but soon they found Chu Ci boring and stopped paying attention to her.
On the other hand, Meng Yuxin, who was sitting on the other side of Meng Qingyan, was gentle, generous, dignified and polite, and looked more like a young lady than Chu Ci, the so-called eldest lady of the Chu family.
