Bai Qing came out of her parents' room happily and was about to go back to her room to take off her makeup and rest when she saw Shen Muhan who had just come back from outside.
Shen Muhan came to Shenzhen this time, firstly for a blind date arranged by his family, and secondly because Shen happened to have a big project being developed in Shenzhen, and he needed to come over to inspect and supervise it. The person in charge of the partner knew that he was in Shenzhen, so he wanted to flatter him. , various bureaus come to entertain him every day.
He was also bored, so he went to kill time.
As for He Ming, who came to Shencheng with him, he has been busy rekindling his relationship with the mute maid from the Bai family recently, and has no time to drink with him.
I drank a few too many drinks today and my head hurts a bit.
Shen Muhan's elegance was engraved in his upbringing and temperament. Even when he drank too much, his demeanor was very gentlemanly and elegant. In a gentle tone, he asked the Bai family's servant to make him a cup of tea. He needed to sober up.
The maids of the Bai family were very happy to serve the two handsome men at home. The maid waiting in the living room shyly agreed and went to help Mr. Shen make tea.
Shen Muhan was sitting on the sofa in the living room, waiting for tea to come. He rubbed his temples lazily. He heard footsteps approaching, raised his eyes, tilted his head slightly, and saw Bai Qing, the eldest daughter of the Bai family, walking over. Lip smile:
"Miss Bai, you haven't rested so late?"
Bai Qing put on a distressed and sad expression, "Mr. Shen, let's talk!"
Shen Muhan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Huh? Okay! What does Miss Bai want to talk about?"
Bai Qing sat down on the belt, with a look of annoyance on her eyebrows, and stretched out her slender hand to show him, "Mr. Shen, look..."
Shen Muhan rested his forehead lazily, lowered his eyes and glanced lightly, "Well, it's a very beautiful diamond ring."
At this time, the maid came over, served tea, and then left.
Bai Qing wondered: "Young Master Li gave this to me today. Young Master Li proposed to me..."
Shen Muhan just picked up the tea and took a sip, and almost choked when he heard the voice, "...Oh?"
Bai Qing pretended to be having trouble making a decision and sighed, "Mr. Shen, although our family arranged a blind date for us this time, Young Master Li also developed a liking for me. This is something I didn't expect..."
Shen Muhan looked confused and took a sip of tea, "What then?"
Bai Qing sighed: "Mr. Shen, you have been very busy during this period. You go out early and come back late, so you don't have time to accompany me. But Mr. Li is very attentive to me and moved me, so I also developed a good impression of Mr. Li. I I feel that my and Young Master Li’s personalities are more suitable, but I’m afraid I’m going to let you down, you won’t blame us, right?”
Shen Muhan raised his eyebrows with a half-smile, "What do you think?"
Bai Qing winked endearingly, "Mr. Shen, no matter what, I hope you won't have any conflicts with Young Master Li because of me. This is the result I least want to see."
Shen Muhan narrowed his eyes and chuckled, "I am indeed a little unhappy, you two actually got together behind my back?
Bai Qing looked like she couldn't help herself, "Mr. Shen, you should know that you can't say anything about relationships... I know that you and Young Master Li are cousins. When Young Master Li and I get married, we will be We are a family. According to the relationship, I should call you cousin when the time comes."
Shen Muhan drank the tea as if nothing was wrong, and then put down the tea cup gracefully and said: "Since you two are in love, I, Shen Muhan, will be a man of beauty and bless you two. However, Miss Bai's There’s no need to call me cousin, I only have one cousin in my life, and her name is Qin Se.”
Bai Qing was startled and her face froze, Qin Se?!
Shen Muhan stood up gracefully and said, "Miss Bai, I wish you good luck. I'm tired and I'm going to sleep now."
Bai Qing came back to her senses, "...Oh, thank you Mr. Shen for your understanding and support. Have a good rest and good night."
Shen Muhan did not respond to her, but took elegant steps towards the mother and son who had just come in and were standing silently at the other side of the restaurant.
He walked up to the mother and son and asked with concern: "It's so late, why don't you two go to bed?"
Qin Lili followed mommy, raised her little face and said, "Pretty uncle, mommy and I came to deliver a bag to Aunt Bai Qing, but we forgot to take her bag away."
Seeing the eloquent little guy, Shen Muhan felt soft in his heart. He couldn't help but lean down and hug his little nephew. He said in a low and charming voice in a coaxing tone: "Oh, are you so good?"
Qin Lili smelled the smell of alcohol on the man, pinched his little nose in disgust, and said dullly: "Pretty uncle, have you been drinking?"
Shen Muhan was a little embarrassed, and thought the way his nephew pinched his nose was so cute, so he laughed and said, "Well, I drank a little."
Qin Lili frowned, "Pretty uncle, why are you drinking? Are you broken up in love?"
Shen Muhan laughed again, "Do you still know about lovelorn? Little thing, you know everything?"
Qin Lili opened his eyes wide and emphasized: "I'm not stupid, I'm very smart!"
Shen Muhan wiped out the little guy's idiot with his big hand, "Well, uncle can see that you are not a little fool!"
Qin Lili raised her little face proudly, she looks so cute!
Shen Muhan was curious enough, so he put his little nephew down and said softly: "Okay, you have to listen to mommy. After returning the bag, mommy and I will go back early to rest."
Qin Lili nodded, "Yes, I said!"
After Shen Muhan gave Qin Se a brotherly smile, he turned and went upstairs without saying anything else.
…
Bai Qing looked at Mr. Shen's gentle and kind attitude towards the mute mother and son with difficulty in the living room, feeling jealous.
She simply couldn't figure out what charm that mute servant with scars on his face had that could make a man of Mr. Shen's status be so kind to her and her son!
After Mr. Shen walked away, Bai Qing walked towards Qin Se and sarcastically said:
"What? Dumb mute, you saw Mr. Li proposing to me and you had no chance, so you want to hook up with Mr. Shen again?"
Qin Se didn't say anything. He handed the bag back to her, then led his son to leave and go back to the dormitory to sleep.
Bai Qing was furious. She thought that Mr. Shen would be very reluctant to let her go and would impulsively go to Li Shao to argue with her. She had to work hard to persuade her, but in the end, Mr. Shen was so happy to help them both. He is a man, and his attitude towards the mute mother and son is even better than her...
The point is, Mr. Shen also said that he only has one cousin in his life, named Qin Se!
What's the meaning?
Could it be that he only recognized the woman named Qin Se as his cousin, and she, Bai Qing, was not qualified?
Oh, I don’t know how capable that woman named Qin Se was five years ago, and what kind of ecstasy soup she poured into Mr. Li and Mr. Shen!
…
In the Bai family's residence, Qin Se led his son slowly towards the dormitory where the Bai family's servants lived...
Qin Lili asked curiously: "Mommy, the beautiful uncle just said you were his cousin?"
Qin Se hummed lightly and said in a voice that only his son could hear: "He is your cousin, but he is no different from his biological uncle."
Qin Lili was a little happy, "My cousin, no wonder Lili feels very friendly!"
…
Early the next morning, Mr. Bai followed his daughter Qingqing's wishes at the breakfast table and extended the topic from the diamond ring to the engagement...
Mr. Bai said with a smile: "Young Master Li, why don't you make an appointment another day to pick up your old man and your old lady, and our two families can discuss the engagement? Let's take a look at your and Qingqing's engagement ceremony. Is it better to be in Shencheng? Or is it better? How about doing it in the capital?"
Li Heming took a sip of water without saying a word, his expression extremely sinister.
Seeing Mr. Li like this, the smile on Mr. Bai's face was a little awkward. The atmosphere at the dinner table was very strange...
Shen Muhan touched his brother's arm with a wicked smile on his lips, "He Ming, Master Bai asked you about your engagement with Miss Bai?"
Li Heming turned his head and glared at Shen Muhan, stood up coldly, and said, "Whatever."
After saying these two words, the man turned around and left the table, striding out of the Bai family gate.
Mr. Bai: "..."
Mrs. Bai: "..."
Bai Qing's face froze with anticipation. She just got to the point. Why did Young Master Li leave?
Mr. Bai looked at Shen Muhan with an embarrassed look on his face, "Mr. Shen, Mr. Li... what does this mean?"
Shen Muhan smiled meaningfully and said, "He has this weird temper, but it's actually because he's shy and embarrassed."
After hearing Mr. Shen's explanation, Bai Qing agreed and understood her. Young Master Li is really shy, and he's so cute!
Master Bai had the same expression on his face, smiled and nodded to show that he understood the young man's shyness, and then asked: "Master Yi Shen, what should we do about the engagement between our two families? How about my wife and I go there in person to discuss it?" How often can we discuss it with the old lady of the Li family?"
Shen Muhan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "In my opinion, Uncle Bai can just handle the engagement matter. There is no need to discuss it with the Li family."
Mr. Bai frowned, "Master Shen's words are hard to understand. After all, engagement is a major event for the children. How can the parents of both parties not discuss it carefully?"
Shen Muhan said: "Uncle Bai should also know that in the Li family, He Ming is the head of the family, and He Ming's will is followed in all matters in the family. Therefore, he has every right to decide how to organize his engagement party. And Now that He Ming is your prospective son-in-law, it is only natural that everything should follow the arrangements of your father-in-law and mother-in-law!"
The Li family is not an ordinary wealthy family. Mr. Bai still felt a little uneasy, "Isn't this... not good?"
Shen Muhan smiled and said, "I don't think there's anything wrong with it. He Ming likes Miss Bai so much that he is afraid that she will be snatched away by others, so he can't wait to propose. Naturally, he hopes to get engaged as soon as possible!"
"My grandparents are old and shouldn't worry about it anymore. And He Ming's relationship with his father and stepmother is average and he won't adopt their opinions at all. Who in the Li family dares to have any opinions? So, the engaged ones It’s better for Uncle Bai and Aunt Bai to handle the matter by themselves!”
That's right, I've always heard that Mr. Li has a bad relationship with his father...
Only then did Mr. Bai feel that Mr. Shen's words made sense, "Then Mr. Shen, do you think it would be better to hold the engagement banquet between Mr. Li and Qingqing in Shenzhen, or in the capital?"
Shen Muhan didn't hesitate to give his opinion, "I think it's better for the two families to separate. First, we can entertain the relatives and friends of the Bai family in Shen City, and then let Miss Bai and He Ming go to the capital together to entertain the relatives and friends of the Li family. .”
Mr. Bai thought for a while and nodded, "Well, that's fine! That's it! Then my wife and I will pick a date first and hold our Bai family's engagement banquet as soon as possible."
Shen Muhan smiled and said, "Well, I'm looking forward to it!"
Bai Qing was overjoyed that her dream had come true. After having breakfast, she went back to her room to check out new dresses from major brands.
On the day of the engagement, she will wear the most beautiful dress in the world and stand next to Young Master Li...
Shen Muhan also said that he had something to do and left the table.
Only Mr. Bai and Mrs. Bai are left in the restaurant...
Seeing her master's serious face, Mrs. Bai asked, "Grandpa, what are you thinking about? Our Qingqing is about to get engaged to Young Master Li, aren't you happy?"
Mr. Bai came back to his senses and said slyly: "I was thinking that what happened at the last exhibition caused a huge drop in the reputation of our Baishi Medicine, and we returned numerous products. Later, we prepared a press conference to clarify, and because of the mute maid at home, we were offended. Jiang's matter. Now, if we spread the news that our Bai family is going to marry the Li family, those people who returned our medical equipment before will regret it and rush to place orders again? "
Mrs. Bai nodded in agreement, "My master is right, I will find a few familiar media to spread the news that Qingqing and Young Master Li are getting engaged!"
Mr. Bai smiled proudly, "Well! I'll leave this matter to Madam!"
…
Just three days later, the news of the marriage between the Bai family and the Li family continued to make headlines. The popularity has not subsided for a long time, and no one in the country knows about it.
The combination of the first lady and the eldest son of the Li family made people call her talented and beautiful, and they were envious. There were even a large number of CP fans...
The Bai family is full of people, either taking the initiative to place orders or visiting for interviews. In short, they all come to get close to the 'in-laws of the Li family'.
Master Bai and Mrs. Bai were upgraded overnight to become the father-in-law and mother-in-law of the eldest son of the Li family, and their social status made a qualitative leap.
…
The engagement date has been set.
This time, Mr. Bai and Mrs. Bai agreed to hold an engagement banquet at home, so that everyone would know that Mr. Li was already living in their Bai family.
Just to let those people know how much Mr. Li values their Bai family, who will dare to look down on their Bai family in the future!
Aunt Liu received instructions from her grandfather to clean the house inside and out and decorate it properly.
And Qin Se was sent out by Aunt Liu to do the most tiring work.
Ask her to clean a large lawn in the courtyard and clear away all the unsightly weeds in the lawn, because it will be decorated into a very romantic and beautiful engagement venue!
On the day of the engagement, the eldest lady and Mr. Li will stand in a romantic and beautiful venue in front of all the guests to express their love to each other, kiss and hug each other.
Qin Se was squatting on the ground pulling weeds, and a middle-aged woman's sarcastic voice sounded from in front of her, "The man you love deeply is about to get engaged to another woman, and you have to clean their engagement venue here. It's really... How sad!”
Looking up, Qin Se saw the old woman who had been holding her captive for five years, Yang Qiumei.
