Chapter 107 Pretty Girl
Everyone's faces changed drastically. Cheng Yuanhao said in a deep voice: "Kang Kang, why didn't you tell us that you were almost kidnapped by traffickers?"
Cheng Jiakang pouted and said nothing.
Chen Wanqian's face turned pale and she forced a smile: "How could it be so coincidental that you saved me?"
Yuan Xiao was not a good-tempered person. He didn't owe her anything, so he naturally didn't need to be angry.
She sneered and leaned back in her chair leisurely, "What you said, in the future everyone should not stand up for injustice, otherwise even if you save someone you will be questioned whether you have ulterior motives."
Grandma Cheng slammed the table and said, "Yuan Xiao is our guest. If you don't want to eat, get out now."
Chen Wanqian glanced at Cheng Yuanhui with resentment and said aggrievedly, "That's not what I meant. I just think the matter needs to be investigated thoroughly..."
"It indeed needs to be investigated thoroughly." Yuan Xiao interrupted her, "Mrs. Cheng is concerned about the wrong thing. What we need to find out now is why Kang Kang got lost."
Cheng Yuanhui glared at him, "He was naughty and ran away from home by himself."
"What a coincidence, he ran away from home when he went out with your wife?" Yuan Xiao raised his eyebrows.
Chen Wanqian wiped her tears, "This child doesn't like me..."
Cheng Yuanhui couldn't bear to see Chen Wanqian cry, so he tried to smooth things over: "Don't talk about this, let's eat first."
Yuan Xiao pouted and stopped talking.
There is a reason why a stepmother will have a stepfather.
Grandma Cheng was very enthusiastic about Yuan Xiao and kept picking up food for her.
Chen Wanqian took a look and felt unhappy, "Is this Yuanxiao's first time in Langshi?"
Yuan Xiao didn't raise his eyes and hummed.
"Are you from Langshi too?"
"Yeah."
Chen Wanqian's eyes flashed with contempt, that means he is a country person.
She intentionally or unintentionally showed the Longines watch on her wrist. The brown strap looked fashionable and expensive.
She also saw the watch on Yuanxiao's hand, but the quality was not as good as hers, so she subconsciously wanted to compare.
"It's fun to come to Langshi for the first time. It's different from the countryside. There must
be many things you haven't seen before." Yuan Xiao said indifferently, "Of course you have seen many things. We also have stepmothers and stepfathers in the countryside."
Cheng Yuanhao chuckled, his peach blossom eyes rippling with some spirit.
Chen Wanqian's face was slightly stiff, and she didn't speak again.
After dinner, the group went to the living room for tea.
Grandma Cheng and Grandpa Cheng were asking about Yuan Xiao. Chen Wanqian was unwilling to be ignored and took out a few small gift boxes from her bag.
"Mom and Dad, this is a sachet I specially asked my friend to buy. It is popular in many places now, and it is very difficult to buy."
Yuan Xiao saw the word "Yunxiao" engraved on the box, and he felt a little happy in his heart. It turned out that Langshi had it.
Chen Wanqian opened the box, and the aroma of insect repellent powder spread out.
Grandma Cheng responded coldly, "You are thoughtful."
Cheng Yuanhao raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the word "Yunxiao" on the box. He remembered that this was the shop sign of Yuanxiao in the contract.
Chen Wanqian still felt that it was not enough, and continued, "The Yunxiao brand products are very popular now. Their products are limited edition. I had to ask a friend to go to Qushui County to buy them. I heard that the person who came up with this is a girl. Some time ago, the insect repellent powder she made helped kill insect eggs in the ground. The county specially commended her and it was even reported in the newspaper."
Grandma Cheng didn't know what she heard, and she became interested, "Oh? It's a girl again. How old is she?"
What she was most worried about now was the marriage of her second son.
Chen Wanqian glanced at Yuan Xiao with a little pride, and continued: "I haven't asked about this yet, but such an excellent girl, if someone can help introduce her to my second brother, it would be good."
After that, she looked at Yuan Xiao: "Yuan Xiao, don't you think so? Our Cheng family is not an ordinary family, and my second brother is the director of a chemical plant, so naturally not everyone can match him."
Yuan Xiao didn't know whether he should be happy or not, after all, he was praised by others.
Cheng Yuanhao couldn't help but chuckle, and looked at Yuan Xiao's numb expression.
Chen Wanqian thought Cheng Yuanhao agreed, and became more excited: "Mom, do you want me to ask my friends about it?"
Cheng Yuanhao suddenly said: "Yuanxiao, you seem to be from Qushui County, right?"
When Grandma Cheng heard this, her eyes lit up, "The girl is from Qushui County? Then you must have heard of this girl, right?"
Yuanxiao cast a resentful look at Cheng Yuanhao.
Cheng Yuanhao laughed a few times, "Mom, Yuanxiao is the girl that my second sister-in-law just mentioned, and Yunxiao brand belongs to her."
Grandma Cheng was embarrassed for a while, and looked at Yuanxiao with a different eye again.
She must have a good character to be able to save Kang Kang. She
looks good, but she is too young.
Cheng Yuanhao is already 29 years old, it's not suitable.
Chen Wanqian absolutely did not believe that the person she had just praised was Yuan Xiao, and she wanted to stare a hole in Yuan Xiao's eyes.
"Second brother, are you mistaken? He is too young."
"Didn't my sister-in-law just say there was a newspaper? If you don't believe me, just take out the newspaper and have a look."
Chen Wanqian smiled awkwardly. She only heard that it was in the newspaper, but she didn't really read it.
The person she had just praised turned out to be the country bumpkin in front of her whom she looked down upon.
Chen Wanqian felt a toothache and was so angry that her stomach was uncomfortable.
Maybe she really didn't want to see Yuan Xiao again, so she pulled her husband away without even drinking a sip of tea.
Not long after they left, Yuan Xiao also stood up and said goodbye.
Grandma Cheng was reluctant to let her go and held her hand, "Stay here for a few more days, I'll let the second brother take you around."
"No need, I plan to go back tomorrow."
When Cheng Jiakang heard that she was about to leave, he grabbed her thigh and refused to let go, "Sister, don't go!" "
I'll leave you my address, you can come to my house to play in the future."
Finally, seeing that Cheng Jiakang really couldn't bear to leave Yuanxiao, she persuaded her to stay for a few days.
Cheng Jiakang also came here and asked Yuanxiao to move from the hotel to Cheng's small villa.
Fortunately, Cheng Yuanhao did not live here, so an embarrassing situation was avoided.
With Cheng Yuanhao and Cheng Jiakang as tour guides, Yuanxiao had a great time in the city.
She went to different places for three consecutive days, and returned with a lot of things every time. She didn't know how to bring the things back.
On the fourth day, Yuanxiao asked the driver to take her to Gu Lanting's troops again.
She wanted to try her luck and see if she could see him before going back.
The guard at the door was the same one as last time. He still looked straight ahead and whispered to Yuanxiao: "It is said that the captain will be back today."
Yuanxiao was really helpless in this era of underdeveloped communication. It was only morning now. Would he be back in the afternoon or evening today?
The ticket she bought for returning to Qushui County was for a bus that departed at 4:30 p.m., so she decided to find a place nearby to sit and wait.
At about 2 p.m., a low-key and simple jeep stopped at the gate of the military district.
Yuan Xiao wanted to take a nap, but he suddenly became alert and walked out of the store to look around.
The first thing he saw was a pair of strong long legs in military boots and trousers. Looking up, it was undoubtedly Gu Lanting.
But right after Gu Lanting, a beautiful girl got off the bus. She was wearing a white dress and her hair was down to her waist.
The jeep was a bit high, so Gu Lanting helped her up.
