When Cheng Yuesheng arrived at the restaurant, Cheng's parents and the female supporting sister were already seated at the table. Cheng's mother looked impatient, and Cheng's step-sister and father were looking at their phones.
"You're finally here. How old are you and still your elders have to wait for you for breakfast?" Mother Cheng looked at Cheng Yuesheng's plain yet beautiful face, and her expression instantly became uglier.
Although Cheng Siyue was good-looking and many people praised her for being as gentle and lovely as a lily, Cheng Yuesheng's sitting next to her stole everyone's attention.
"I'm not fully recovered yet. The doctor said I need to rest more." Cheng Yuesheng replied indifferently.
"You always talk back when someone says something to you. Do you have any respect for your parents?" When Cheng's mother heard Cheng Yuesheng's retort, she was furious and glared at her.
Cheng Yuesheng didn't want to pay attention to her. Now she just wanted to fill her stomach. She didn't eat anything at the party last night and was already hungry.
"Talk less and eat breakfast quickly." said Cheng's father.
Cheng Yuesheng wrinkled his nose. Cheng's father, this middle-aged man, was really cunning. He always waited until they finished arguing before coming out to play the good guy.
Cheng Yuesheng glanced at Cheng Siyue who was still pressing her cell phone. He didn't know what she was busy with. Was she contacting Meng Shuwei?
She remembered that the heroine in this novel was interning at the hero's company. Last night, she heard Cheng Siyue congratulating Meng Shuwei on his company's financing, so logically, the heroine should be by his side by now.
I don’t know what impact the appearance of Cheng Siyue, the white moonlight, will have on the relationship between the male and female protagonists.
Breakfast time passed quickly. As soon as they put down the tableware, Cheng's father and mother asked them to go to the study together.
Cheng Yuesheng was walking on the way to the study, feeling a little uneasy. She didn't know what they wanted to say when they called her. They probably didn't see through that she was no longer the original Cheng Yuesheng!
Cheng's father sat behind the desk, while Cheng's mother and her sisters sat on the sofa waiting for him to speak.
"The company has recently encountered some problems," Cheng's father said. "We've invested too much money in a project, and the bank loan will soon expire. However, the company's cash flow is tight." He glanced at Cheng Yuesheng and her sister and continued, "We need external funding to help with the turnover."
Cheng Yuesheng was stunned. What did that mean? Was this the plot in the original novel? She remembered her colleagues saying that Cheng Siyue lost the family fortune near the end of the story, and that the Cheng family's company also wanted to invest in Meng Shuwei's technology company.
And what does it mean to need external funding? What's the point of telling them about the company's operational problems? Cheng Siyue is the company's vice president, but Cheng Yuesheng is just a senior. Could it be that Cheng's mother is also managing the company?
She looked at Cheng's mother and Cheng Siyue. There was no surprise on their faces. It seemed that they had known it for a long time.
But at this moment, Cheng's father's eyes fell on Cheng Yuesheng. Although this daughter who was neglected by him had always been sickly, her appearance alone was better than many rich girls in Jiangzhou.
"Yuesheng, my family is in trouble now and we need your help."
"What do you mean?!" Cheng Yuesheng looked at her father in confusion. Could it be what she thought? The company was in crisis, so he pushed his daughter out for marriage?
Impossible!
"Your mother and I have already found a candidate and will arrange for you to go on a blind date." Father Cheng looked very reluctant, "Yuesheng, your parents have no choice. This is the only way to save the company now."
Father Cheng is still pretending to be a good father at this moment!
"I don't agree. There are many ways to solve the funding problem. We can find an investment company, a bank, sell stocks or borrow money. Why do you want me to get married?" Cheng Yuesheng was furious. What kind of parents are these!
"Yue Sheng, there is no better way than marriage." How could he possibly sell his stocks, let alone find an investment company to invest, as this would reduce the shares he holds.
"Don't worry, your mother and I will choose a good candidate for you. Not every ugly guy is qualified to be the son-in-law of our Cheng family." Cheng's father continued to persuade her. Anyway, they had already made up their minds and it was impossible for them to change it just because of her objection.
"That's right, we've already chosen the people." Mother Cheng glanced at Cheng Yuesheng mockingly and continued, "One is Jiang Fuwen, the second son of the Jiang family. He's the second son like you, so it's fate. And then there's the youngest son of the Xue family. Mrs. Xue was quite pleased to see you last night. Her youngest son will be back from studying abroad soon, so we can meet him..."
Mother Cheng introduced several young men from wealthy families in Jiangzhou. When Cheng Yuesheng heard that Jiang Fuwen, whom she had met last night, was one of them, her face turned cold, her eyes filled with anger and dissatisfaction. She continued, "Why don't you introduce such a good candidate to Cheng Siyue? She's older than me and still single! Shouldn't she be the one who gets married before me?"
Cheng Yuesheng looked at his mother who was talking with a sarcastic look on his face.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Your sister is going to marry a son-in-law in the future. How can she be like you--" Mother Cheng was furious, her face turning pale and red.
"Alright!" Father Cheng interrupted Mother Cheng, "You and Siyue go out first, I'll talk to Yuesheng."
"I--" Mother Cheng didn't want to leave but was stopped by Cheng Siyue.
"Mom, let's go out first!" She looked at Cheng Yuesheng with a smug look, "Dad will persuade her, don't worry." She has already won over Cheng Yuesheng, and this house will belong to her in the future.
After Cheng's mother and Cheng Siyue left, Cheng's father spoke: "Actually, I have another suitable candidate."
Cheng Yuesheng thought he was going to persuade her, but he didn't expect that he would recommend a man to her.
"What do you think of Mr. Qi from Xinglai Investment? He mentioned you to me several times at the party last night. I think—"
