470, don't make me look down on you
Xiao Zichen hasn't come back for a long time in the old Xiao family house, which is dozens of kilometers away. He received a call from Lu Yazhen tonight and returned here.
After parking the car, Xiao Zichen narrowed his eyes and glanced at a car beside him. When he saw the license plate on it, his face looked a little gloomy.
At this time, the door of the villa opened, and an old woman walked out and spoke kindly when she saw Xiao Zichen.
"Young Master is back. Have you had dinner? The lady and the master are waiting for you inside."
"Aunt Zhou, good evening. I have eaten. Has anyone come to my family?"
Xiao Zichen asked casually, Aunt Zhou nodded, helped Xiao Zichen open the door, and said.
"Well, Mrs. Chen and Miss Shen are here."
When Xiao Zichen heard this, a trace of coldness flashed across the corner of his mouth. He didn't say anything and went straight into the villa.
As soon as I entered, I heard a delicate sound from inside. Xiao Zichen felt goose bumps, but the coldness in his eyes became stronger.
"Aunt Zhen, it's not what you said, otherwise, I wouldn't have come here with my mommy to ask Aunt Zhen for help today."
"Madam, the young master is back."
At the entrance of the living room, Aunt Zhou spoke. As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Zichen had already appeared at the entrance of the living room.
"mom."
Xiao Zichen greeted Lu Yazhen, then looked at Mrs. Chen and Shen Leyi beside her, nodded faintly, and said.
"Hello Mrs. Chen."
After that, he raised his foot and walked into the living room, picked a seat away from the mother and daughter of the Shen family and sat down.
"Mom, is there anything wrong with asking me to come back in such a hurry?"
Xiao Zichen sat down and spoke. Obviously, he didn't want to stay here many places.
"Yazhen, I haven't seen Zichen for several years. You are so amazing. You have trained such an excellent son. Zichen, your mother and I are the best friends. In the future, we should call me Aunt Qian like I did when I was a child. I just saw you."
Chen Leyi's mother Zhou Meiqian spoke at this time, and as soon as she heard the words, she knew what she had.
Xiao Zichen did not speak, but nodded lightly, and then looked at his mother again.
At this time, Lu Yazhen had already felt the coldness in her son's eyes. She looked embarrassed and smiled embarrassedly.
"Zi Chen, I called you this time because your aunt Qian asked you for something."
When Xiao Zichen heard this, his brow frowned slightly, and then he turned his gaze back to Zhou Meiqian.
Looking at Chen Leyi beside Zhou Meiqian, she looked shy and had a burning look, not hiding her greed and obsession with Xiao Zichen at all. Lu Yazhen, who was beside her, looked at her son nervously.
At this time, Zhou Meiqian looked at Xiao Zichen with a graceful look on her face and spoke with a smile on her lips.
"Zi Chen, this time my aunt came to you, because she had a heartless request. I would like to agree to my aunt's request for years of friendship."
Zhou Meiqian spoke so lowly, which surprised Xiao Zichen a little. After all, she was the hostess of the powerful Shen family in Kyoto. With her identity, she didn't need to do this at all.
Zhou Meiqian's attitude also forced Xiao Zichen to give her face. After all, offending Zhou Meiqian is equivalent to offending Minister Chen in Kyoto.
"Aunt Qian, please tell me if you have something to do. If you can help, Zichen will definitely not refuse."
This is the best attitude Xiao Zichen can do.
After hearing this, Zhou Meiqian nodded slightly, then held Chen Leyi's hand, thought for a moment, and spoke.
"Zichen, tomorrow is the annual charity dinner for the Charity Federation. This time I came to ask for it, and it was also for our Jialeyi. You also know that at the annual charity dinner, as the chairman of the organizer of the Charity Federation, I have to dance the opening dance, but my daughter has always been introverted. She has been in Luocheng for more than a year and is busy with work and has not made any young talents. After thinking about it, she can only ask Zichen to dance this dance with our Jialeyi."
Xiao Zichen knew that there must be nothing good about Chen Leyi's appearance, but he didn't expect that the mother and daughter would make such excessive demands.
Dance of the opening dance is not as simple as literally, just like Fu Yusheng wanted to ask Mo Yurou to dance the opening dance. If the two parties are not in a special relationship, they must not dance together. Otherwise, it means that they are telling everyone that there is an ambiguous or even further relationship.
Chen Leyi learned to be smart this time. She knew very well that if she came to Xiao Zichen, Xiao Zichen would definitely refuse, so she moved out of her mother and used the relationship between her mother and Lu Yazhen to come to Xiao Zichen. In this way, Xiao Zichen would probably be embarrassed to refuse.
But Chen Leyi is smart, but she also underestimated Xiao Zichen's ruthlessness and coldness.
Faced with Zhou Meiqian and Feng Xiyu's request, Xiao Zichen did not change his face, but just said something lightly.
"Aunt Qian, before I agree, I need to tell you the consequences of the opening dance if I and Miss Shen dance."
Xiao Zichen's tone was plain and he could not see any emotion, but these words made Zhou Meiqian change her face.
"Zi Chen, what do you mean? Are you going to reject my request?"
Obviously, Zhou Meiqian believes that Xiao Zichen will agree to the relationship between the two families and the Shen family's status in Kyoto, so Xiao Zichen's words are equivalent to provoking her identity.
Xiao Zichen smiled faintly, shook his head and said.
"No, Aunt Qian, I'll just tell you some of the impact first."
"Meiqian, don't worry, my son has always been meticulous in his work, otherwise we will listen to what he says first."
Lu Yazhen, who was standing beside her, felt the irritation on Zhou Meiqian and spoke at the right time to resolve the awkward atmosphere.
Zhou Meiqian thought for a moment, nodded, and then said quietly.
"Isn't it just an opening dance, and there are any bad consequences. Let's listen."
"Aunt Qian, I believe you know very well what this opening dance means. I am a married man. To be honest, my dance with any woman except my wife has not had a big impact on me, but it may cause reputational damage to Miss Chen. I believe that Aunt Qian doesn't want her daughter to blame for those slandering for no reason."
Xiao Zichen said in a plain tone.
This year, his image outside has long become a passionate playboy, so it doesn't matter if he adds one, but whether he wants to add one depends on whether he is happy. Obviously, he doesn't want Chen Leyi to exist in these gossip news, even if it is fake.
When Chen Leyi heard this, she couldn't help it and said.
"Brother Zichen, don't think I don't know. Miss Mo and you have long died in name only. What about recuperation abroad? It's just a crisis public relations between your two companies."
"Le Yi..."
When Chen Leyi spoke, the atmosphere in the living room was obviously condensed. Zhou Meiqian was frowning slightly. Obviously, she also knew that her daughter was too anxious.
At this time, everyone could feel the coldness gradually covering Xiao Zichen's body, especially those already sharp eyes, cold lights fell on Shen Leyi's body, making her tremble slightly. Even Lu Yazhen, who was beside her, felt worried and looked at her son nervously.
"Shut up, it's not a turn for me to talk too much about Yurou and me..."
"Zi Chen, don't be rude."
Feeling the fierce light in Xiao Zichen's eyes, Lu Yazhen spoke in time.
Hearing his mother's voice, Xiao Zichen gradually withdrew his murderous intent, his eyes also shrank a little cold. Then he saw him stand up from the chair, looked at Zhou Meiqian in front of him, restrained his anger and said calmly.
"Mrs. Chen, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't agree to your request. If I were you, I would advise Ling Qianjin to put away those thoughts that shouldn't have. Our Xiao family will only have one daughter-in-law, that is my current wife, Mo Yurou. As for tomorrow's dinner, if Mrs. Chen doesn't mind, I will find a suitable male partner for Ling Qianjin."
After saying that, Xiao Zichen turned around and looked at Lu Yazhen. Seeing the worry in his mother's eyes, he sighed. After all, he would let his mother clean up the mess for him.
Xiao Zichen breathed a sigh of relief and spoke.
"Mom, Si Nian is still waiting for me at home, so I'll go back first."
After saying that, Xiao Zichen left without looking back.
But at this moment, Chen Leyi ran over and blocked Xiao Zichen's way.
"Brother Zichen, if I say I don't care about my identity and reputation, I just want to stay by your side, can you agree to me? I just want you to be my dance partner. Even if I become a mistress despised by everyone after tomorrow, I don't care. I fell in love with you since I was thirteen years old, and I just want to stay with you forever. You just want to know each other since we were young, for the relationship between the two families, for the sake of my mother saving Aunt Zhen back then, let me stay by your side, okay?"
Chen Leyi was no longer willing to do anything. She lost her pride as a worthy lady, lost her self-esteem in her heart, and begged Xiao Zichen humbly.
When Chen Leyi knew that Mo Yurou had left, she felt a little happy. She took the initiative to find Xiao Zichen, wanting to use her tenderness to move this man, and even seduce this man with her body, but she was ruthlessly rejected.
In the past year, Chen Leyi has never given up pestering Xiao Zichen, especially when she saw the scandal between Xiao Zichen and Mengna, she believed even more that as long as she was a man, she would never be able to do it to only one woman.
But in fact, this man had never given her a gentle look at all, and he even refused her thousands of miles away, making her feel the setback that she had never experienced in the past twenty years.
This time, Chen Leyi lost her last trace of pride. As long as she is with this man, she has nothing to give up.
I thought such deep affection could bring half of this man's mercy, but reality gave Chen Leyi a fatal blow.
I saw Xiao Zichen not even giving her a look, and walked straight past her. When she passed by her, she gave her an extremely ruthless sentence.
"Miss Chen, don't let me look down on you."
