Marriage as a Game

Chapter 51 Xixi, what do you think of Uncle Zhong?

Zhong Hongguang was driving the car himself today and was answering an international call at the moment. He saw Yao Chun and her daughter coming over through the car window.

"That's it for now. Send me the contract later!" He hung up the phone, opened the car door and walked out.

"Xixi is out of school?"

Zhong Hongguang was not dressed so formally today, wearing casual suit pants, a black casual shirt, and a short men's windbreaker on the outside.

From Zheng Juanjuan, Shen Chaoxi learned that the other party was five years older than Yao Chun, but at this moment, the way he was dressed, he looked like a mature man in his thirties.

I have to say that Yao Chun has a good vision.

Shen Daguang was a well-known handsome man when he was young, but he indulged himself too much in middle age and the characteristics of a greasy man began to emerge.

The man in front of her did not have any such troubles at all.

Shen Chaoxi nodded at the other party and returned a faint smile.

"Xixi, call someone." Yao Chun reminded.

"Uncle Zhong." Shen Chaoxi spoke.

Perhaps they didn't expect Shen Chaoxi to be so obedient, and they were stunned for a moment.

"Hey! Get in the car quickly. You must be tired after a day of classes. I'll take you to eat something delicious." Zhong Hongguang said as he opened the back door.

Half an hour later, the three of them arrived at a Sichuan-Chongqing restaurant close to the Yao family.

Judging from its specifications and interior style, this restaurant is very high-end and not something that ordinary people can afford.

The three were welcomed into a private room on the second floor, where they were received personally by the manager, who addressed Yao Chun and Shen Chaoxi as Mrs. Zhong and Miss Zhong.

Zhong Hongguang and Yao Chun haven't gotten their marriage certificate yet. If it were in other occasions, he wouldn't explain calling her Yao Chun, but today Shen Chaoxi is here.

"If I had such a beautiful wife and daughter, I would have no regrets in my life!"

Zhong Hongguang's words were full of double meanings. Yao Chun blushed and lowered her head without saying a word, but the manager kept apologizing.

The topic was quickly changed. Zhong Hongguang knew that Shen Chaoxi liked spicy food, so he asked Shen Chaoxi about his preferences and quickly ordered the food.

While waiting for the meal, Zhong Hongguang stood up and personally poured a cup of warm tea for Shen Chaoxi and Yao Chun respectively.

"This is the barley tea that this shop makes. You can try it. If you think it tastes good, take some home. I've been abroad for the past few years, and when I go back home occasionally, I want to use something purely made in China. I'm really afraid of those foreign things, which are flashy and impractical!"

The man's humble and simple attitude complements the rich aroma of grains in the room.

Shen Chaoxi thanked him quietly, picked up the barley tea and took a sip. It tasted sweet, and he couldn't tell whether he liked it or not.

Yao Chun agreed, "I like it very much. I've been feeling uncomfortable in my stomach lately, and drinking this can help relieve it."

"Your old problem has come back again?" Zhong Hongguang said with concern, "It just so happens that I'm not busy these few days. I'll take you to the hospital for a system check. Don't put it off any longer. Your problem is related to staying up late. Take fewer cases in the future. It's not like you don't have enough money to spend. Don't work so hard."

Then, Zhong Hongguang said to Shen Chaoxi: "Your mother just won't listen. Not only does she work day and night, but she also never eats well. I can't control her. With Xixi around, I'll see if she still won't listen!"

Hearing this, Shen Chaoxi looked at Yao Chun. Ever since she could remember, Yao Chun had been a full-time housewife. She usually paid attention to taking care of herself, so how could she bear to let herself suffer from any illness?

Then she thought of Zheng Juanjuan's words, "Your mother has had a really hard time these past few years. She has neglected her major for so many years, and it's not easy to find a job at her age. She has suffered a lot of grievances, and she has worked hard day and night before she is slowly getting better..."

"Is it serious? Go to the hospital for a check-up and seek treatment from a Chinese medicine doctor." Shen Chaoxi asked subconsciously.

I originally thought that my daughter had a barrier in her heart and would be indifferent, but I didn't expect her to say words of concern. Although her tone was still cold, Yao Chun was deeply moved.

"It's okay, but mom will listen to Xixi and go find a Chinese doctor for treatment in the next two days."

At this time, the waiter outside the door began to serve the dishes. Although it was a Sichuan and Chongqing restaurant, in addition to the spicy dishes that Shen Chaoxi liked, there were also a few lighter dishes.

Yao Chun didn't eat much during the meal. She only picked up food for Shen Chaoxi, reminding her not to eat anything too spicy and then reminding her to be careful with fish bones.

At the end of the meal, Zhong Hongguang went out to answer a phone call.

"Xixi, what do you think of Uncle Zhong? He proposed to me today, should mom agree to him?"

Shen Chaoxi was eating the last mouthful of rice in the bowl. She didn't like to waste rice. She was stunned for a moment when she heard Yao Chun's words, then slowly put the rice into her mouth and chewed it slowly.

After a moment, she said, "You've already fallen into marriage, so you should know best who is the right partner for you. I won't interfere, as long as she is not the second Shen Daguang!"

Yao Chun was surprised to hear this title. She remembered that when she and Shen Daguang had the worst fights in those years, her daughter still called him "Dad", but this time she called him by his name.

Yao Chun felt heartbroken.

"Xixi, if I had known that he would treat you badly, I would have taken you away no matter how difficult it was!"

late!

You can't take it away anymore!
Shen Chaoxi raised his eyes and looked at Yao Chun indifferently.

"I don't object to you finding a partner, but I don't want to follow you. You live your life. I want to live with my grandma. I will have my own life in the future."

Upon hearing this, Yao Chun burst into tears and she held Shen Chaoxi's hand and choked with sobs.

"You still can't forgive mom, can you?"

Shen Chaoxi shook her head, then paused and said, "Mom, I'm grown up now and don't want to interfere with your new family. I don't want to sever ties with you, I just don't want to live with you."

"You called me mom!" Yao Yuan cried with joy. She had been waiting for this name for a long time. "I know, mom will agree to it, but you have to come visit mom often when you have time and stay with mom for a few days."

After coming out of the Sichuan-Chongqing Restaurant, the three of them walked towards the parking lot, but met an acquaintance halfway.

"Zhong Hongguang!"

The person who spoke was a middle-aged lady, dressed elegantly and with a strong aura.

There was unconcealable excitement in her voice.

"Jin Yu? Are you coming here to eat too?" In comparison, Zhong Hongguang's tone was calm, as if he was chatting with an old friend.

"I heard that you returned to China. Why didn't you tell me? We can get together! Who is this?" Bai Jinyu turned her head and saw the woman following the man. Her expression stiffened slightly and she asked.

"My wife and...daughter." Zhong Hongguang hesitated slightly when saying the word "daughter".

Then, something fell to the floor.

The lobby manager ran over in her high heels and quickly picked up the royal blue handbag and handed it over.

They must treat guests who come here with caution.

"Madam, your bag!" The manager held the bag in both hands with a professional smile on his face.

The bag in her hand is worth five years’ salary!
"Okay, thank you! ... Hongguang, I have something else to do here, let's make an appointment later."

"it is good!"

Watching Bai Jinyu go upstairs, Yao Chun casually asked about this person's identity.

Zhong Hongguang smiled and replied, "The wife of Shang Qichao, the richest man in our Shangjing City! We used to be classmates, but we haven't been in touch for many years. She has changed a lot, and I almost didn't recognize her!"
