My charming CEO wife

This study room is decorated in a very classical atmosphere.

The surrounding walls are covered with calligraphy and paintings of famous masters, and there are large vertical vases of Ming Dynasty blue and white porcelain. Even the furniture is made of golden nanmu, which is said to be hard to buy for an inch of gold, and pineapple, which is more valuable than golden nanmu.

The display is extremely elegant.

So there is no nouveau riche momentum, but only makes people feel grand and graceful.

The so-called oriental nobles, the family of Zhongming Dingshi, probably so.

A middle-aged man is sitting at a desk.

The middle-aged man is tall and tall, with a great bearing, and even if he is simply sitting, he gives people a sense of Yuan Ting and Yue Zhi.

Obviously a person who has been in a high position for a long time, holding great power over life and death.

"You are Lu Chen."

The middle-aged man raised his eyes, glanced at Lu Chen lightly, and said coldly: "My humble servant, Xia Shaoshang, is Xia Shiqing's father. Sorry, I only have one stool in this study, you don't mind standing there."

He was extremely arrogant.

There is no courtesy at all.

This is no way of hospitality.

Lu Chen didn't think that the majestic Xia family's head would be such an ignorant person.

He himself was born in a family, so how could he not know the style of the family?

Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trust, the basic ancient Chinese etiquette, although they have long been lost in ordinary families, but at the level of aristocratic families, they have always abided by them.

The bigger the family, the more they will care about these.

That is to say-

This person did it on purpose.

Use arrogance and rudeness to express disdain and contempt for yourself.

Lu Chen sat down, pondered for a while, and knew why Xia Shaoshang did this.

Xia Shiqing is this person's only daughter.

This person is the head of the Xia family.

Xia Shiqing looks so beautiful that she is the brightest pearl in Haicheng.

Then how could Xia Shaoshang be willing to marry Xia Shiqing to him and settle down in a poor household?

The most ruthless imperial family.

The family is not like this.

In Xia Shaoshang's view, Xia Shiqing's marriage should bring benefits to the entire Xia family and further consolidate his position as the head of the family.

All of this now is not what he and the Xia family can bring to him and the Xia family.

"It's okay, you don't have to sit on a stool if you want to sit."

Lu Chen smiled, without the slightest look of anger after being humiliated by ordinary young people, but picked up the tomes on this person's desk, such as "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", "Historical Records", "The Analects of Confucius", and read them casually. Stack, it is a stool, and then sit down.

"you……"

Xia Shaoshang obviously didn't expect Lu Chen to come here. He looked at him coldly, and said with a sneer, "Young man, it doesn't matter if you sit down, but you can sit down with such sages as Confucius, Tai Shigong, and Liuyi layman." Ass, can you afford it?"

"Mr. Xia's words are debatable."

Lu Chen smiled faintly: "The sages wrote books to teach us etiquette. Although the boy is young, he has never heard of the reason why guests are not given stools. There are only two possibilities."

"First, Mr. Xia's book is read into the stomach of a dog. Second, these sage books are probably all fake."

"Mr. Xia, you seem to be a person who is knowledgeable and knowledgeable. How can you read the books of the sages into the dog's stomach? Then these books must be fake. The real sages dare not be rude, but the fake sages dare to kick their asses." Sit down."

"Good boy, he has sharp teeth and a glib tongue."

Xia Shaoshang snorted coldly, "Come here, give Mr. Lu a seat."

He clapped his hands, and someone brought a stool immediately.

Lu Chen refused to give way, and sat down.

Xia Shaoshang waved his hand again, "Serve tea."

In just a few moments, someone brought a pair of expensive ceramic tea sets, and the servants cooked tea very skillfully, then pushed a cup to Lu Chen, Lu Chen took it, and took a shallow sip.

The entrance is lubricated and fresh, and it is quite comfortable to drink.

"Do you know what tea is?"

Xia Shaoshang asked.

"I don't know." Lu Chen honestly shook his head.

He didn't have much research on the tea ceremony, and it was even more impossible for him to taste the tea just by taking a sip.

Xia Shaoshang said indifferently: "The real Dahongpao of Wuyi Mountain grows on the cliffs and is picked by trained monkeys. The annual output does not exceed [-] catties. Every piece of tea brick is fired to millions of dollars. High price, just this small cup in your hand is worth tens of thousands."

"And the teacup in your hand and the tea set on Zhuo are Junyao Yuebai porcelain, objects handed down from the court of the Song Dynasty, which cannot be bought with pure money."

Xia Shaoshang glanced around: "The furniture in this study is either golden nanmu or yellow pear wood, and even the most humble vases are all authentic Ming Dynasty Jingdezhen blue and white porcelain. Haicheng National Library has more, and every time they hold any exhibition, they still ask me to borrow books."

His eyes finally fixed on Lu Chen: "Xiao Lu, do you understand what I mean?"

Lu Chen said lightly: "Mr. Xia, what you mean is that your Xia family is very rich, but I am poor, so I am not qualified to marry Shiqing?"

"That's right, it's pretty self-aware."

Xia Shaoshang smiled, and continued: "Give up the marriage with my daughter, this is yours."

He opened the desk drawer, took out the checkbook, wrote a number, and pushed it in front of Lu Chen.

Lu Chen took a look, the number [-] was followed by eight zeros, a total of [-] million.

For a small policeman whose salary is [-] this month, it is an astronomical figure among astronomical figures.

Lu Chen didn't take it.

"What, too little?"

Xia Shaoshang smiled coldly: "Young man, you have to eat food bite by bite, and you shouldn't have too much appetite."

"Mr. Xia, I think you have misunderstood something."

Lu Chen smiled warmly: "Actually, this pineapple wood chair worth millions is too hard for me to sit on. It's really uncomfortable to sit on. I don't think this Jun Kiln Moon White Porcelain tea set from the Song Dynasty is any better than ordinary tea sets. What's the good thing. As for the tea, it's quite delicious, but it doesn't suit my taste. Compared with tea, I prefer wine, especially spirits."

He looked at Xia Shaoshang indifferently: "What does Mr. Xia think these represent? I don't think it represents anything."

"you……"

Xia Shaoshang patted the table, "Boy, don't be shameless. I am willing to sit down and talk with you because of your father's kindness to my Xia family. The abandoned sons of the Lu people who were kicked out of their homes are not even qualified to talk to me."

"Mr. Xia, everyone has two shoulders and one head, and you don't have any more things than me. Why am I not qualified to talk to you?"

Lu Chen looked at him: "Also, don't mention my father's name, Mr. Xia, it's not that I look down on you, you really don't deserve it."

"It's ridiculous."

Xia Shaoshang's eyes were full of coldness: "Lu Chen, compared with my Xia family's hundreds of years of aristocratic heritage, you are just a toad watching the sky from a well. The sad thing is that you don't even have this self-knowledge, so you just keep pestering me." , it is impossible for you to marry a daughter who is like Tianfeng like me, but you will bring disaster to yourself instead."

He pointed at Lu Chen: "If you are sensible, you will hand over the marriage certificate, otherwise—"

He snorted coldly, the threat in his eyes couldn't be more obvious.

"Sorry, Mr. Xia, I'm not a person who is used to being threatened."

Lu Chen shook his head, "Besides, it was my father and the old lady of the Xia family who made the marriage contract back then. You are not qualified to say such things to me."

"Don't you give up if you don't see the Yellow River?"

Xia Shaoshang sneered, "Okay, today is the old man's [-]th birthday, you can stay, and I will ask the old man to talk to you in person later."
