Chapter 219 Chen Caiyue's Pursuer
Chapter 219 Chen Caiyue's Pursuer
"Son, where have you been in broad daylight? Do you know anyone in Huajing? Is it Shen Xinyi?"
As soon as they returned to the hotel, Chen's mother started to ask around.
In her opinion, her son must have gone to see Shen Xinyi. There must have been too many people at the dinner party yesterday, and he was embarrassed to act very familiar.
He went out early this morning, he must have been on a date with a girl.
However, she had a good impression of Shen Xinyi, and she was a classmate of her mother, so there would definitely be no problem in getting along with her as a daughter-in-law.
But she also likes Zhao Lingshan very much. In her eyes, Zhao Lingshan is her daughter. When Zhao Lingshan was a child, her parents were very busy, so Zhao Lingshan followed Chen Xi to play, often ate at her house, and went to school together. In other words, she was also raised by her.
In fact, Chen's mother prefers Zhao Lingshan to be her daughter-in-law because she knows her well, is capable, and is good to her son.
Unfortunately, Chen Xi didn't have that kind of thought about Zhao Lingshan. She had asked her son many times and got the same answer every time.
Shen Xinyi didn't know him very well, and felt that she needed to investigate further, and the most important thing was to see who her son liked. She usually watched a lot of romantic dramas, and she also found Chen's father, a poor boy, and didn't care about family background at all. She valued love more.
"I went to discuss something today with a friend in Australia. It was about business." Chen Xi rolled his eyes. Why did everyone think that he and Shen Xinyi had some close relationship?
"Oh, you are so young. Don't always focus on making money. When you have time, just hang out with girls like other kids."
"I see. What is my dad doing in Huajing? He won't go back to Xinlu either."
"How would I know? I don't care about his business! He makes those crappy paintings every day, and claims to be an artist. He also set up some kind of association and spent money to support a group of painters."
"Well, I think I'm elegant."
"Haha, yes, that's right! Your dad used to trick me into marrying him with his paintings and a guitar. You can't learn from him and trick girls like that."
Mother Chen covered her mouth and chuckled, but her thoughts drifted far away.
She recalled that when she was young, she had rejected many outstanding suitors despite her parents' opposition and finally chose Chen's father.
However, a trick of fate led them to divorce in the end.
Thinking of this, her face was immediately covered with sentimentality, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.
"We'll complete all the necessary preparations before the New Year and open for business after the New Year." Chen Xi just picked up a cigarette and was about to light it.
They were ruthlessly taken away and left behind by their mother.
"When did you learn to smoke so much? Your father doesn't smoke or drink. Why are you in such a hurry to open a business?"
Chen Xi looked at his mother and thought that although she didn't smoke or drink, she was interested in sex!
"I will be going back to Australia by then, and if I go in, the progress will be slow. With your attitude, I don't know when you can get things done. I will ask my friend's mother to help you, so just go for it without worry."
"You talk like you're an elder, huh~"
My mother pouted, pulled Chen Xi up from the chair, and then rushed to the restaurant.
In an elegant and high-end restaurant, two people sat in the spacious and bright hall, quietly waiting for the roast duck to be served.
There are not many delicious foods in Beijing, and it is difficult for outsiders to eat them. Only the roast duck is unique and famous.
It is said that the cooking technique of roast duck originated from somewhere in ancient times. After being brought to Beijing, it has undergone continuous improvement and innovation and evolved into today's unique flavor.
Its unique taste and cooking method are not only loved by local people, but also attract many foreign friends to come and taste it.
In the restaurant, many foreign friends were enjoying this delicious roast duck with gusto.
Although they are not very good at using chopsticks, it does not affect their love for roast duck at all.
Watching them enjoying the roast duck with such joy on their faces, one can’t help but sigh at the great charm of this delicacy, which transcends national boundaries and cultural differences and has become a common food language for people all over the world.
"It's still a big city after all. With so many foreigners coming here, it seems there are more business opportunities." My mother muttered to herself as she looked at those white and black people.
"What's so good about it? In a few years, when China develops well, you can see a lot of foreigners in many cities. Look at Yuezhou, there are more and more black people."
Chen Xi thought about it and realized that nowadays foreigners only go to some first-tier cities in China.
In a few years, a large number of people from African and Middle Eastern countries will appear in some small coastal places. The goods there are of good quality and low price, which is in line with the development of their countries, so they become purchasing places for foreigners.
"Oh, you look completely different from the photo!"
"What's the difference? It's just that the angle is not good. This was taken a few years ago." "Do you think I don't know anything? This is photoshopped. How dare you go out for a blind date with this look?"
"You're not much better, are you? You're still so arrogant even after getting divorced!"
"Oh, don't you know that men are at their prime at 41? You're already over 30, and your looks don't suit my taste, so forget it."
"Stupid! You're wasting my time."
At a dining table not far away, a man who was dressed slightly tacky and exuded a tycoon's air was having an enthusiastic conversation with a woman.
However, the conversation did not seem pleasant. Suddenly, the lady picked up her handbag, cursed angrily, and then walked away resolutely in her high heels.
The man looked around and found that many people were looking at him. He felt embarrassed and ashamed, so he stood up and prepared to leave.
"Come, son, eat roast duck, it's hot!"
"Well, you eat too."
Chen Xi wrapped a piece for his mother and then picked up another piece of dough to start wrapping.
"You must be Chen Caiyue, right?" Just when the mother and son were eating happily, a strange man's voice sounded.
Mother Chen raised her head and looked carefully at the man in front of her with her bright eyes.
He has a typical square face, a glittering gold watch on his wrist and a thick gold chain around his neck.
A pair of small leather shoes were polished to a shine, but the bright red socks inside were accidentally revealed.
It all looks a bit rustic, even giving people a funny nouveau riche feel.
Mother Chen couldn't help but frowned slightly. She thought for a long time but couldn't remember who the other person was. However, since he could call out her name in a place like Huajing, she must be an acquaintance.
"Who are you?" Chen's mother asked in confusion.
"Ha, I said I didn't make a mistake! I was from your previous school, a few years older than you, and I looked for you at that time." The middle-aged man looked excited, but to Chen Xi, this expression seemed a little funny.
"..."Mother Chen still seemed to have not remembered who this guy was, and could only smile awkwardly.
"I'm Sun Haiming! Your senior in college, the one who wrote you a love letter!" Sun Haiming pointed at himself and made a heart gesture in the air.
"Cough cough~" Chen Xi really couldn't help it, and coughed twice to remind the other party that there were still people here.
"Ah, this is your son! He's grown up and so handsome. He really inherited your genes." Sun Haiming seemed to talk a lot and reached out to pat Chen Xi on the shoulder.
"Oh, I seem to have an impression. Is there anything I can help you with?" Chen Caiyue seemed to have remembered something, but she was the school belle back then, and there were many men chasing after her.
But I do have some impression of this Sun Haiming. He was rejected by her many times, but he kept pestering her. In the end, she got married, but he kept asking his friends whether she was divorced now.
"I heard from a friend that you were divorced. I called you but you didn't answer..."
"...I don't answer strange phone calls. If you have nothing else, just leave. I still have to have dinner with my son!"
After hearing what Sun Haiming said, Chen Caiyue slammed the table in annoyance. It was obvious that these words made her a little angry. How could anyone talk about divorce in front of her son?
I don’t know what’s wrong with Sun Haiming’s brain. Look at him, he is wearing gold and silver and acts like a rich man.
How can a person who can't even speak get rich? The world is so big that there are all kinds of things.
Seeing that Sun Haiming still lingered, Chen Caiyue folded her arms across her chest, staring at him with a stern light flashing in her beautiful eyes.
However, in Sun Haiming's view, this was more like her playful and cute side, which made him feel happy.
I haven't seen you for many years, but you are still as beautiful as before.
"Cai Yue...I...hurt~"
"Hey, uncle, leave if you have nothing to do. Don't disturb me and my mom while we eat."
Just as Sun Haiming was about to continue speaking, he suddenly felt a large hand placed heavily on his shoulder, with such a huge force that it seemed to crush his shoulder.
He couldn't help but scream, and then instinctively took a few steps back.
