At this time, the door of Chen's house opened, and a woman wearing a black windbreaker walked in quickly.
"Why are you back so soon?" Chen Shen sat in the living room and asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Sir, I'm sorry, I lost you!" The woman in black took off the fake hood and black-rimmed toad glasses on her head. It was none other than Lesina, the Filipino maid hired by the Chen family.
"Trash! How can you lose yourself with a loser?" Chen Shen glared at Lesina fiercely: "Don't take this month's bonus!"
"Master, Miss, she went to a shopping mall. There were too many people, so I didn't follow her." Lesina looked aggrieved, thinking that I am a nanny hired by your family, not a bodyguard or a private detective.
Miss Chen Xuewei is so old, do you still need to follow her all day long?
"You said she went to the mall? Alone?" Chen Shen asked with confusion.
"Yes, I think the lady may feel that staying at home is too boring and wants to go to the mall to relax!" Lesina said softly.
"Shen, who are you angry with?" Just at this moment, two old men came down from upstairs, a man and a woman, both about seventy years old, but energetic, and they must have been a beautiful couple when they were young.
Son.
"Dad, Mom, we're all your precious granddaughters! We go shopping so late at night, and we can't stop us. It's really worrying."
The old man is Chen Shen's father and Chen Xuewei's grandfather, Chen Yunqiao. He founded the Chen family and has now taken a back seat. The noble old lady beside him is his wife Weng Xian.
She was also a strong woman when she was young and founded Yunqiao Group with her husband.
"When the child is older, she has her own life, and we shouldn't interfere." Weng Xian said with a smile.
"Xiao Wei should be assigned two bodyguards." Chen Yunqiao said earnestly.
"I told her so many times, but she just doesn't agree. You said she was going to marry into the Thomas family soon. If something unexpected happens at this time, how can I explain it to others!" Chen Shen looked anxious.
said.
"What? Xiaowei agreed to marry that Mike?" Weng Xian asked with a face full of surprise.
"Not yet, but I think she will figure it out. What an outstanding young man Mike is. He is worthy of her in every aspect. This girl just hasn't figured it out." Chen Shen said with a smile.
"Ashen, you have to understand that a melon that is forced is not sweet." Weng Xian's face darkened.
"But Xiaowei is already quite old, so there is no better marriage than this!" Chen Shen said with a bitter smile.
"When your mother and I started our business, we did receive strong support from the Thomas family. Mr. Smith is an old friend of ours. Although he is no longer here, Shrieve, who took over, has always been a great help to our Chen family. 94
During the North American financial crisis in 2008, without the help of the Thomas family, Yunqiao Group would have collapsed long ago. As the saying goes, if you receive a favor from someone, you should repay it with a spring of water. Xiaowei married Mike, even if she was wronged,
There is nothing she can do about it. For the sake of the Chen family, she must make concessions!" Chen Yunqiao said solemnly.
"Why? Just because the Thomas family has helped us, are we going to sacrifice Xiaowei's lifelong happiness?" Weng Xian always stood by her granddaughter Chen Xuewei. When she heard her husband's words, she immediately refuted.
"Women, what do you know? Go and have a rest!" Chen Yunqiao said coldly.
"Old man, you can't push too hard. Xiaowei really has her own strengths and weaknesses, and I won't be able to live anymore!"
"Damn old lady, what are you talking about?"
Chen Yunqiao glared at Chen Shen and said sternly: "Why are you still standing there? Go find someone quickly!"…
Red Mixed Wine in Chinatown is a Chinese-owned wine shop with an elegant and warm atmosphere, moderate consumption, and the most important thing is the quiet and quiet environment.
Chen Xuewei is very quiet and restless, and the atmosphere here is just right for her. Accompanied by quiet and soothing music, it is indeed very pleasant to drink one or two glasses of fragrant red wine.
Although both of them are very low-key, Chen Xuewei's stunning beauty still attracted the greedy eyes of many men. If it weren't for the male companion Chu Tianfeng next to her, there would definitely be many people drooling to talk to her.
of.
This hotel not only offers wine, but also coffee and hot drinks. Chen Xuewei has never been a teetotaler, so she only ordered a cup of Blue Mountain coffee and a bottle of red wine for Chu Tianfeng.
"Oh, I really didn't expect that when we came out to meet each other, it would be like a secret service meeting." Chu Tianfeng looked at the crystal clear red wine in the glass and said with a smile.
"Why is there someone following you?" Chen Xuewei asked in surprise.
"Forget it, let's talk about you! When do you plan to return to Yanjing this time?" Chu Tianfeng said as he drank all the wine in the glass.
"Oh, it's hard to say. My brother is in control of Hua Chen now." Chen Xuewei smiled lightly, and her red lips looked like two blooming crabapple petals under the soft light.
"Oh, how is your marriage with Mike going?" Chu Tianfeng asked.
"I will never marry him. If my family gets too worried, then I will... run away from home!" As soon as Chen Xuewei mentioned Mike, a look of disgust appeared on her face.
It was like seeing a disgusting fly.
"Why? Is Mike so annoying to you?" Chu Tianfeng was very surprised. He and Mike knew each other once. In terms of appearance, even if Mike is not as good as those famous Hollywood movie stars, he is also a standard American handsome man with a different family background.
He is so prominent, why does Chen Xuewei always dislike him?
"Hey, you want to know the reason?" Chen Xuewei's pretty face flushed with embarrassment, she lowered her head and asked softly.
"If it's convenient, you can tell me." Chu Tianfeng really wants to know the reason. This is a question that has troubled him for a long time. How did Mike offend Chen Xuewei? Or why does Chen Xuewei always look down on young talents in the eyes of others?
For dung?
"First of all, I have no feelings for him because of the cultural differences between the East and the West. I grew up in Yanjing, China, and went to the United States with my father when I grew up. Many living habits are deeply ingrained and difficult to change," Chen Xuewei said.
.
"I'm afraid this is not the main reason? There are many words." Chu Tianfeng felt that if cultural differences were the main reason, then many foreign relationships would not exist.
"Yes, I think back then, when my family wanted to marry me to Mike, I secretly investigated him. Mike's private life was really messy. He had no fewer than ten girlfriends in middle school.
There was also a girl who gave birth to a son for her. If the Thomas family hadn't been rich and gave that woman a million dollars, I'm afraid this would have spread throughout the city," Chen Xuewei said.
"Haha, I didn't expect that Sister Xuewei would become a detective!" Chu Tianfeng sighed.
"Of course I didn't investigate it myself. I hired a private detective. I have enough evidence on hand to prove what I said." Chen Xuewei said.
"Oh." Chu Tianfeng muttered to himself: "Chen Xuewei is not simple-minded either."
"The most intolerable thing is..." Chen Xuewei said angrily: "Mike is actually gay!"
"What? He is gay? Then why do he want to marry you?" Chu Tianfeng asked confused.
"Alas, what I said is not accurate. He should be... bisexual. He has both female and male lovers. I once saw him enter a gay bar with my own eyes!" Chen Xuewei said.
….
"Oh, I didn't expect this guy's private life to be so messy. Why didn't you tell your family about it?" Chu Tianfeng secretly sighed: "It's really difficult to paint a dragon and a tiger, and you know the person but don't know the heart!
"
"It's useless. They actually said that this is people's living habits. Americans are so open-minded and things will get better after they get married." Chen Xuewei said with a bitter smile.
"Haha, it's easy for a country to change its nature, but it's hard to change it. If you really marry him, it will only be more painful." Chu Tianfeng said.
"Well, that's why I would rather die than marry him." Chen Xuewei said firmly.
"Then how do you explain it to your family?" Chu Tianfeng asked with concern.
"Oh, be brave. I will return to China when I get a chance, but I have to attend tomorrow's party. My Huachen company has joined the Blizzard Club. I am going to attend tomorrow's party on behalf of the company." Chen Xuewei said.
"Congratulations, your company has joined the Blizzard Club." Chu Tianfeng said with a smile.
"Didn't your Tianfeng Group also join?".
"Not yet, I'm just a guest they invited."
"Actually, it's all the same. There is no such thing as a membership card in the Blizzard Club. Anyone who is invited is a member of the club." Chen Xuewei smiled lightly.
"Really? Then I will have the opportunity to have dinner with Bill Gates and Buffett tomorrow?" Chu Tianfeng's eyes lit up and he asked with a smile.
"It doesn't seem possible, because I heard that the two of them will not attend tomorrow's sorority party because they have something to do." Chen Xuewei shook her head and said.
"Oh, this is a bit of a pity." Chu Tianfeng sighed.
"But Mo Huaimi, the president of Blizzard, is back. Haven't you been making games? If you have a good chat with him, you will definitely gain a lot." Chen Xuewei smiled sweetly.
"Yeah, that's right. What if your family insists on forcing you to marry that Mike?" Chu Tianfeng felt that Chen Xuewei's father, Chen Shen, had taken the weight and became determined. Not to mention that Mike was a playboy.
He is just an old bad guy. As long as it is profitable, Chen Shen will have to sell his daughter for money.
"My father said that if I really didn't want to marry Mike, I had to give him an explanation. He asked me to convince Mike to give up on his own, and also asked me to handle the relationship with the Thomas family. If I couldn't handle it well, he would
They won't let me go back to China." Chen Xuewei sighed and said worriedly.
"Then you give him an explanation, explain the reasons, and ask him not to pester you anymore." Chu Tianfeng said.
