The ex-wife is rebellious, which makes the CEO feel troubled

The intimate behavior between the two of them was seen by the He family, adding a bit of warmth. Seeing this, He's mother joked: "Look at our Xiao Zhao, how caring he is."

The others echoed: "Yes, after all, Xiao Zhao has always been carefree..."

Suddenly, there was laughter at the table.

However, in this seemingly harmonious atmosphere, Ning Xi's heart was in turmoil. She tried to immerse herself in this joy, but Gu Huaijing's figure always lingered in her mind.

Madam He looked Ning Xi up and down, and said slowly, "Xiao Xi, can you be with grandma Xingxing's child?"

Ning Xi's heart tightened, knowing that she would have to pass this hurdle sooner or later.

She took a deep breath and decided to be honest, slowly telling Lu Ruoxing's story. He Zhao was cooperating on the side.

Old Madam He had never thought that Lu Ruoxing had such a rough life, and she saw He Zhao speaking for her.

People are all made of flesh and blood. The old lady sighed softly and asked tentatively: "Xiao Xi, can I go see the child tomorrow? Maybe, an old woman like me can do something for her."

When Ning Xi heard this, a warm feeling surged in her heart and she quickly nodded in agreement.

She knew that this was an acceptance and recognition of her and Lu Ruoxing by the He family, which made her feel very relieved.

At this time, in another private room in the restaurant, Gu Huaijing and his group were in an awkward silence.

Xia Zhenlong cleared his throat and broke the deadlock.

"Huai Jing, I know everything about you and Ying Qing. When are you two going to pick a good day?"

Gu Huaijing was stunned for a moment, then realized that Xia Zhenlong might have misunderstood. He quickly explained: "Uncle Xia, you may have misunderstood. Yingqing and I are just friends."

Xia Yingqing also hurriedly agreed: "Yes, Dad, there is nothing between me and Brother Huaijing."

Xia Zhenlong looked stunned, then showed a trace of regret.

Just as he was about to continue persuading, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open, and a gentle-looking man wearing gold-rimmed glasses walked in.

He walked straight to Xia Yingqing and said firmly: "Qingqing, you can't marry someone else."

This scene stunned everyone. Xia Yingqing stood up from her chair and asked excitedly, "Why are you here?"

Xia Zhenlong turned around and met the visitor's eyes. Both of them showed surprised expressions.

"It's you..." They spoke almost at the same time.

"Mr. Xia, long time no see." Tang Zheng greeted politely, breaking the deadlock.

Gu Yanyu asked Gu Huaijing in a low voice: "This should be Tang Zheng, right? Judging from the situation, he knows Mr. Xia."

Gu Huaijing shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

"Dad, do you two know each other?" Xia Yingqing swallowed and couldn't help asking.

"I wouldn't say I know him, but he is my savior."

Then, Xia Zhenlong explained the whole story.

It turned out that Xia Zhenlong felt a little unwell on the plane today, and it was Tang Zheng who saved him using first aid.

After listening to this, Gu Yanyu couldn't help but say: "When fate comes, it really can't be stopped."

Xia Zhenlong came back to his senses, his eyes moving back and forth between Tang Zheng and his daughter, finally settling on Tang Zheng, his tone stern.

"What is your relationship with my daughter? And what did you mean by what you just said?"

Xia Yingqing took a deep breath, mustered up the courage to walk to Tang Zheng's side, faced Xia Zhenlong, and said in a trembling but firm voice: "Dad, he...he is my boyfriend."

The moment he heard these words, Xia Zhenlong felt as if struck by thunder and his head was buzzing.

"You...and you..." He pointed at the two of them, unable to speak for a moment.

Seeing this, Tang Zheng quickly protected Xia Yingqing behind him and said, "Uncle Xia, this is all my fault. If you want to beat me or scold me, I have no complaints, but please don't blame Yingqing."

Xia Zhenlong laughed out of anger, and just as he was about to explode, Xia Yingqing suddenly said, "Dad, I'm pregnant."

In a hurry, Xia Yingqing told this matter.

When Xia Zhenlong heard this, his face turned pale and he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Gu Huaijing caught him in time.

These successive pieces of news made Xia Zhenlong's mind go blank.

After a moment of silence, Xia Zhenlong tried to calm down and looked at Tang Zheng coldly: "You, introduce yourself."

Tang Zheng was stunned for a second, then told him his family background, occupation, etc.

When Xia Zhenlong learned that Tang Zheng was a cartoonist, he almost fainted.

"What kind of shitty job is this! It's totally not your job! And! As a man, you have no sense of responsibility at all!" Xia Zhenlong shouted angrily.

Tang Zheng looked ashamed and was about to explain, but Xia Yingqing took the lead: "Dad, it's not his fault. I forced him to do it!"

When these words came out, everyone in front of him was stunned.

Xia Zhenlong instantly felt ashamed and scolded, "Xia Yingqing, you are a girl, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Xia Yingqing was not afraid at all. She looked at him sincerely and retorted, "What I said is true. He is actually very traditional. I took the initiative to suggest taking it a step further, but he refused. Later, I... I used a little trick."

Xia Zhenlong was so angry that he could not speak. He felt humiliated. He sat weakly on the chair with a blank look in his eyes.

Gu Yanyu watched with great interest and gave Xia Yingqing a thumbs up, "I really underestimated you before."

Xia Zhenlong glanced at Gu Yanyu resentfully, and the latter quickly shifted his gaze and pretended not to see it.

At this time, Tang Zheng stood up and said respectfully: "Uncle Xia, I actually wanted to meet you for a long time, but I was delayed because of something..."

After hearing this, Xia Yingqing became unhappy and said immediately: "That's not the case. It was you who wanted to see him, but I stopped you because of my dad's personality..."

Xia Zhenlong got even angrier when he heard this and slammed the table: "What kind of personality do I have! Don't forget that your last name is Xia!"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Tang Zheng and Gu Yanyu hurried forward to mediate. Gu Huaijing took the opportunity to leave the private room, but saw Ning Xi at the end of the corridor.

His cold features gradually became gentle, and he walked towards her quickly.

At this moment, Ning Xi leaned against the wall, gradually clearing her mind of the messy thoughts. Suddenly, she seemed to feel someone approaching from behind.

She turned around quickly and was about to punch him, but fortunately Gu Huaijing reacted in time, dodged sideways, and hugged Ning Xi in his arms.

Ning Xi resisted instinctively, but after smelling the familiar mint scent, she relaxed her guard.

"Why are you here?" Gu Huaijing asked softly.

She said coldly, "I'm here to have dinner with my future in-laws and discuss wedding matters."

This sentence was like a knife stabbing into Gu Huaijing's heart. He asked unwillingly, "How am I worse than him?"
