Surprise! Love-brained Mr. Li has made his ex-girlfriend his girlfriend

Chapter 117 Bringing my ex-boyfriend to a blind date

Xu Fanghua didn't expect that Li Zhen was standing behind Lu Xingchen, and she didn't know how to react for a moment, not to mention the Cao family.

Cao's mother, who had just been talking warmly and politely to Xu Fanghua, saw that the girl she was about to introduce to her son was followed by a tall young man. Her smile froze and she asked Xu Fanghua, "Who is this boy?"

The people of Old Yuecheng speak authentic old Cantonese.

Xu Fanghua hadn't figured out how to respond, so Li Zhen spoke first and answered in Cantonese without blushing or breathing hard: "Cousin Xingchen."

Lu Xingchen: “…”

Xu Fanghua: “…”

Cao's mother smiled, "Cousin?"

Lu Xingchen was too embarrassed to talk about this topic, so he changed the subject and apologized, "Sorry I'm late."

Cao's mother: "It's okay. I heard from your mom that you are very busy at work. We are embarrassed to use our own time."

Father Cao said gently at this time: "Please sit down, we will eat and talk at the same time."

After sitting down, there was another round of greetings and introductions. In fact, the Cao family also has a young cousin who has slender phoenix eyes and is about 1.6 meters tall.

When introducing her cousin Liu Meizhi, Cao's mother joked: "You have a cousin, and we have a cousin. How about the cousins ​​get along with each other?"

The Cao family is pretty easy-going, except for this cousin who calls the tenants of the Cao family "country bumpkins" and "outsiders". Last time Lu Xingchen borrowed a motorcycle, she also said that he was "trying to hook up with a rich guy".

But when Liu Meizhi heard what Cao's mother said, she looked at Li Zhen with a shy smile, and it was obvious that she was satisfied with Li Zhen's outstanding appearance.

Li Zhen answered Cao's mother politely and concisely: "I have someone I like."

Liu Meizhi immediately changed her expression and said, "I still don't like you!"

"Meizhi." Cao's mother called her but did not scold her in any other way, because Li Zhen's bluntness would easily make people think that he looked down on Meizhi.

Cao's mother felt that even if Xu Fanghua's temperament was not like that of a lady from an ordinary family, and Lu Xingchen's appearance was indeed outstanding, she was not a wealthy family after all. But their Cao family was, and they did not dislike it, so it was not their cousin's turn to be picky about her family.

The Hyatt Hotel is a time-honored brand in Guangdong Province, and the dishes served are all traditional Cantonese dishes such as boiled chicken, roast goose, grilled lobster in soup, steamed fish, and sweet and sour pork with pineapple.

While the dishes were being served, waiters came in and out and everyone was chatting. During this time, Cao Qihua also asked Lu Xingchen how his work was going recently, and told him to take care of his health during the change of seasons and not just be busy with work.

When the waiter brought the last traditional Chinese soup, Lu Xingchen politely asked Cao Qihua, "Doctor Cao should be busier than me in the hospital."

Cao Qihua smiled: "Not bad."

Cao's mother then began to enter the main field, and took the opportunity to take the initiative to say: "What do you mean it's okay? If you weren't busy, would you still be single at the age of 32?"

Because Li Zhen just said that he had someone, and Lu Xingchen said that he had a girlfriend, Xu Fanghua felt that Lu Xingchen might really have no hope with Li Zhen.

She didn't think like Cao's mother that Li Zhen's words were a direct rejection of Liu Meizhi, but that this man had the confidence to be so arrogant and direct. After all, he was the CEO of Zhencheng.

So Xu Fanghua was determined to let her daughter get to know Cao Qihua, and she said to Cao's mother: "A man at 30 is at the peak of his career, and being busy is a good thing. Besides, 32 is the best age."

"That being said, he's been so busy with his deputy-level assessment that I hardly see him." Cao's mother complained with pride on her face, "I told him to stop being so busy. No matter how busy he is, he still gets paid 20,000 or 30,000 yuan. The outpatient clinic and pharmacy at home make more than that every month."

Cao's mother sighed and continued, "His eldest brother doesn't make much from his own business, but a few million a year is enough for his family to eat and drink. Qihua will have to take care of this clinic and pharmacy in the future. Besides the two houses in the village, the family also has two houses in the city. I really just want him to give me some grandchildren as soon as possible. I don't have any other requirements."

These words made Lu Xingchen and Xu Fanghua feel at a loss.

Xu Fanghua thought, the Cao family's family background is okay, but even so... it's not to the point of being so Versailles, right? When they could buy a few streets with a single word, they didn't sigh like this.

Lu Xingchen really didn't know how to cook, so he just wanted to have some traditional Chinese soup.

Seeing this, Cao Qihua wanted to serve her some food, but as soon as she reached out her hand, Li Zhen had already taken the spoon and scooped half a bowl into Lu Xingchen's bowl.

The scene was silent for a moment.

Li Zhen looked at Cao Qihua and asked calmly, "You want some soup too?"

Cao Qihua raised his hand and smiled in denial, "I just want to give it to Xingchen Sheng."

Li Zhen: "Take care of yourself, she has me here."

"..." Cao Qihua pushed his glasses up on his nose and looked at Li Zhen and said, "You are quite nice to Xingchen."

"My cousin." Li Zhen said to her like a cousin, then looked at Cao's mother and continued to encourage politely, "Auntie, please continue."

It turned out that Mr. Li’s sharp words were not only directed at her. Lu Xingchen buried her head in drinking soup and pretended not to hear.

Xu Fanghua almost couldn't hold back her laughter.

Cao's mother felt a little offended, but what she said was all true. Besides, how could they not believe her?

Mother Cao directly mentioned Lu Xingchen's name, who had been eating quietly, "Xingchen, what do you think?"

Lu Xingchen looked at her with clear eyes and replied politely: "This soup is indeed very good. Auntie, let me serve you a bowl."

Cao's mother looked at her for a moment, not sure if she really didn't understand or was just pretending to be confused, and continued, "When your mother was chatting with me the other day, she said that you work for a big company. Ah Hua also told me later that Zhencheng is a very large company. Working in such a big company, you must get a lot of salary a month, right?"

Lu Xingchen: “Not much.”

Xu Fanghua didn't want Cao's mother to think that only her son was outstanding, so she imitated Cao's mother's tone and said, "Not much, probably about 700,000 or 800,000 yuan a year."

It’s not much, but it’s better than the 20,000 or 30,000 yuan her son makes a month.

Both Cao's mother and Cao Qihua looked a little surprised. They felt that at Lu Xingchen's age, even in a big company, being able to earn a monthly salary of 20,000 or 30,000 was already quite good.

Li Zhen then said, "Seven or eight hundred thousand was last year. Her current annual salary is three million, but her personal value is about four hundred million now."

Liu Meizhi chuckled and said to Li Zhen, "You are not the big boss of Zhencheng, why do you set such a high price for your cousin?"

Xu Fanghua also glanced at Li Zhen, wanting to see how the big boss would answer.

Li Zhen didn't say who he was, he just said, "Four hundred million is Zhencheng's assessment of her commercial value. If I were to make my own assessment, her value would be much more than that."

Liu Meizhi wanted to flip the table. "What a boast... He earns three million a year but rents a house worth just over a thousand. If I tell you this, people will die of laughter before they even believe it."

"Meizhi." Cao Qihua looked at his increasingly unrestrained cousin with a gloomy face for a moment, then turned to apologize to Lu Xingchen, "Xingchen, our family has always thought you are excellent. If you feel offended, it's because I'm not broad-minded enough."

Lu Xingchen: "How could that be? My cousin is exaggerating. I am just an ordinary working class person."

Apart from her indifferent reaction to the blind date, Lu Xingchen's speech and behavior were very polite and tactful. Although Cao's mother thought she was a little self-righteous, Cao Guozhong was satisfied with her. In particular, Cao Qihua had a good impression of Lu Xingchen, and as parents, they were no longer overly picky.

Just after dinner, Li Zhen's cell phone rang. He politely left his seat and went to answer the call.

Lu Xingchen accompanied his mother and the Cao family out of the private room. Cao's mother hinted to Xu Fanghua, "It's still early. Why don't you young people go somewhere else to hang out, watch a movie or something..."

Cao Qihua, who was standing by, said to Lu Xingchen in a low voice, "I'm sorry, my mom's carefree personality made you laugh..."

As they were talking, a kettle filled with hot tea flew towards them!

Lu Xingchen was quick to protect Xu Fanghua and Cao's mother and moved them to the side. The kettle hit her arm and broke into pieces.

Liu Meizhi, who was standing by, screamed in pain due to the burns from the flying spray.

But a woman's voice was louder than Liu Meizhi's: "Lu Xingchen, you stinky bitch, you tried to seduce my husband but you hooked up with the big boss of Zhencheng to harm us, right?"
