"Find me a matchmaker?" Mr. Xiao's tone was so cold that it contained almost no warmth.
Xiao Ruoqin's legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground. She lowered her head and dared not look at him. It was only the beginning of spring, but her clothes were soaked with cold sweat. "Yes..."
Has his temper improved during this period? This woman actually dared to run up to him and say such nonsense.
"roll."
Xiao Ruoqin was anxious. She had finally entered the main house and she had to explain everything clearly.
She begged almost humbly, "Second Master, please...please listen to me first."
Without waiting for Master Xiao's order, Abin walked forward, grabbed Xiao Ruoqin and tried to drag her out.
Just as Xiao Ruoqin was struggling, her handbag fell to the ground and the contents spilled out. One of the photos caught the attention of Mr. Xiao Erye.
"Wait."
Ah Bin immediately let go of Xiao Ruoqin and stood at attention: "Second Master, what do you want me to do?"
"Give me that photo." Mr. Xiao signaled with his eyes.
"Yes." Abin squatted down, and when he saw the person in the photo, his heart was filled with turmoil, but his facial expression did not fluctuate at all.
He held the photo in both hands and handed it to Mr. Xiao Erye.
Master Xiao held the photo in his hand, and when his eyes fell on it, his previous rage and impatience dissipated a little.
Xiao Ruoqin didn't understand why Mr. Xiao seemed so interested in the photo, but for her, it was always a good thing.
She spoke tremblingly, "Second Master, this is the person I am matchmaking for you. Her name is Chi Beibei, she is 17 years old, the youngest daughter of the Chi family, and also the niece of my husband's family."
Master Xiao glanced at her and said, "Little daughter?"
Facing the all-seeing eyes of Mr. Xiao, Xiao Ruoqin's voice trembled with fear: "Although...although she was only adopted, she was also raised as her own daughter. She went to the best aristocratic school and her academic performance was also good. She was in the top three in her grade."
"Since you are raising her as your own daughter, how could you give her to a useless person like me?"
"Second Master, you're joking. You are young and promising, and you know how to plan and strategize. Under your leadership, the Xiao family is now a completely different company. There are many young girls who admire you." Xiao Ruoqin smiled awkwardly.
However, what she was thinking in her heart was who would be willing to be with such a twisted and gloomy psychopath for the rest of their lives? Only a family like the Chi family, who didn't care about their daughter's life or death, would want to marry him.
"What about her?"
"Beibei is also willing." Xiao Ruoqin received a call from Xia Shuyu asking her to act as a matchmaker. She really didn't know what Chi Beibei meant.
But Beibei listens to Xia Shuyu so much, so he should be happy about it, right?
Anyway, the purpose of matchmaking is to bring two couples together, and everything else should be said in a positive way.
"You're actually willing." Master Xiao stroked Chi Beibei's face in the photo. It was delicate and beautiful, so elegant that people wanted to treasure it and protect it well.
He recalled their first meeting in the club, when she gently covered him with a blanket, and they were so close that he could clearly smell her scent.
Xiao Ruoqin said tentatively: "Second Master, you and Beibei are really a perfect match."
Mr. Xiao was not angry, and his lackey Abin had no intention of chasing anyone away.
This is where the fun begins!
Xiao Ruoqin was overjoyed and wanted to finalize their marriage: "Beibei will be 18 in a few months, and then you can hold an engagement ceremony with her."
Having said that, if Mr. Xiao and Chi Beibei could really get married, as the matchmaker and Beibei's aunt, Mr. Xiao would definitely not miss out on any benefits for her.
Her life in the Xia family will be much better.
"Second Master, the Chi family is holding a welcoming banquet tomorrow. Would you be so kind as to come and see it?" Xiao Ruoqin took out an invitation letter.
Abin took it and handed it to Mr. Xiao.
"Chi Mingchu?"
"Yes, it is held for Chi Mingchu, the eldest daughter of the Chi family. Chi Beibei will also appear at that time. You can talk to her."
"You go back first." Mr. Xiao did not agree explicitly, but his attitude towards Xiao Ruoqin became much more relaxed.
Abin personally sent her to the gate and watched her get into the car and leave, instead of dragging her to the door and throwing her on the ground.
When I came back, Mr. Xiao was staring at the photo in a trance.
"Second Master, are you going to attend the Chi family's welcoming banquet tomorrow?" Ever since his legs were crippled, the Second Master has been living a secluded life, only giving orders behind the scenes and never attending banquets.
Will this time be an exception?
"Abin, would she really want to be with someone like me?"
"Second Master, why do you think so little of yourself?" Ah Bin said hastily, "In Ah Bin's opinion, you are the best person in the world."
"But she..." Mr. Xiao still had concerns. Chi Beibei was only 17 years old, healthy and lively, while he was already 28 years old and might not be able to walk for the rest of his life.
"Second Master, since it was the Chi family who took the initiative to propose the marriage, it proves that Miss Chi is also interested in you."
Abin thought about the surveillance footage he saw in the club yesterday. Miss Chi helped Erye in the corridor and the two chatted for a few words.
Maybe the Chi family got the news that the Second Master was going to the club yesterday, and wanted Miss Chi to see the Second Master. Otherwise, why did Miss Chi come out just as the Second Master arrived in the corridor?
They just met yesterday, and today Xiao Ruoqin came to propose marriage, which proves that Miss Chi should be satisfied with the Second Master.
"Miss Chi has put aside her girlish reserve and shown her affection for you. Second Master, you should also take the initiative." Abin was so worried about his boss's lifelong affairs.
"Let's take another look."
......
On the way back, Xiao Ruoqin first respectfully reported the situation to Old Madam Xia, and then couldn't wait to call Xia Shuyu.
"Sister, it should work out with Master Xiao."
Xia Shuyu was not surprised: "He is just a cripple. Our Chi family took the initiative to propose a marriage, so he must be ecstatic."
Xiao Ruoqin didn't dare to agree with him. She smiled awkwardly and changed the subject: "Second Master Xiao has already accepted the invitation. He might go to Mingchu's welcoming banquet tomorrow."
"Oh?" This was somewhat unexpected.
Mr. Xiao Erye rarely appears in public, and people in the circle have almost forgotten what he looks like. It is said that he now looks like a vampire, which is very scary.
"Sister, remember to let Beibei dress up." Xiao Ruoqin specifically instructed.
Beibei seldom attends banquets, and whenever he shows up he wears ill-fitting clothes. People in the circle are saying that Beibei is plain-looking, but in fact she had long seen that Shuyu just couldn't get over it.
Now that the child is almost grown up, if Shuyu wants to take advantage of the North-North marriage to gain benefits, she must be nicer to her.
I hope Shuyu won’t be confused again.
