Protagonist's life?Take it!

Chapter 20: The Blind Date

When Zi Zaitian inexplicably ran to Fengxing Domain to inquire about his situation, Cheng Ying was on his way back to his home.

As a big family, the Cheng family is involved in all walks of life, but the Cheng family adheres to the family motto of self-reliance, each branch and faction manages a field, and there is no intersection of property and capital, so the relationship between members of the family is not as turbulent as some aristocratic families. , but very harmonious.The married family is scattered all over the world due to work and life, buying houses, buying land, and settling down home business, but every Spring Festival, they must return to their hometown to celebrate the New Year together.

Now Chengying's grandfather, Mrs. Cheng, is the pillar of the Cheng clan, the head of the clan, and has many contacts with the government.Chengying's parents were two brothers, and Chengying's uncle was the only daughter, who was ten years older than Chengying, married already, and a strong woman in the business world.Chengying has a brother and a sister. The elder brother is nearly [-] years old and has long been the backbone of the family business. The younger sister is still a naive student.

Cheng's main family manor is located in the outskirts of the mountain city of C City, which is like spring all the year round and has a pleasant climate.From the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month to the fifth day of the first lunar month, the married family will hold various banquets, large and small, according to the usual practice.It wasn't until the beginning of the sixth day that there was some free time for fun, and the gatherings of the younger generation would usually be held today.

This year's party for the younger generation was held by Cheng Yao and Zhang Luo, the elder sister of the married family, who booked the venue in the club, where there were all kinds of ball games, horse racing, raking, racing, and shooting. There was also a sound dance floor indoors, and the scene was very lively.

Luxurious hall, elegant crystal lamps, uniformly dressed waiters gracefully shuttling among the guests coming and going.The women with exquisite makeup and the men in suits and leather shoes chatted happily, raised their glasses and smiled, or gestured lazily.Every movement of the hand and every movement of the foot is filled with the atmosphere of high society_, it is just talking and laughing, singing and dancing.

Cheng Ying was sitting in the corner drinking mineral water, looking coldly at a group of demons and monsters dancing wildly.It's not that no one wants to come up to chat with Cheng Ying, it's just that no one dares to disturb him because of his aloof status.As for Cheng Ying himself, although he has always used banquets to expand his contacts, after all these years, those who can make friends in this circle have already made friends, and the rest are worthless and unable to make friends. He will not disobey himself for this Interested in having fun with them.

The game ID Life Big Winner, whose real name is Gu Yueming, fell down on the sofa next to him as soon as he saw him: "Boss, the new year is really more tiring than usual."

"Because you have always had a wrong understanding of the Spring Festival."

Cheng Ying hit the nail on the head without mercy and hit Gu Yueming so hard that he couldn't lift his head.

"Boss, I want to go back to the game!"

"You can go naturally after the things you should do in reality are over."

Gu Yueming was speechless: "Boss, I'm just talking, I don't need you to answer."

Cheng Ying looked down at him: "I suggest you confide in psychological counseling. Talking to yourself will not play a role in psychological counseling."

Gu Yueming: "...help me."

"What's wrong with Brother Gu?" A delicate and lovely girl with almond eyes and peach lips bent over to look at him, showing a mischievous smile.

"Xiao Ke, how can you have such a brother when you are so cute!" Gu Yueming complained angrily.

Cheng Ke, the younger sister of the Cheng family, tilted her head playfully, her big spiritual eyes flickering: "I heard Gu Sange is playing a new game, is it fun?"

When Gu Yueming heard this, he immediately regained his energy, and a carp stood up and rubbed his fists: "Xiao Ke, you are also interested in this, let Gu Sange tell you, Gu Sange is a master! "

Cheng Ying looked at Cheng Xiaomei who was full of interest, and then looked at Gu Yueming who was eager to try, looking away, and ignored her.

Suddenly, Cheng Ying felt a momentary tension behind him, and correspondingly, the voices in the field were also muffled for a moment. Cheng Ying's eyes naturally fell on the door, a tall, handsome, and well-defined man Standing there with his back straight, he was out of tune with the neon lights in the room.

Cheng Ying put down the water glass and got up to meet him: "Brother."

Big Brother Cheng Cheng Jin looked at him with pure black eyes, revealing his ability and coldness, and his voice was cold: "The matter is done, and the rest is up to you."

Cheng Ying nodded slightly: "Thank you, brother."

Cheng Jin, who was nearly [-] years old and experienced in the family business for several years, looked cold and decisive. His profound facial features were as perfect as sculptures, and he was more like their father than Cheng Ying.If it is said that Cheng Ying is a little cold and solemn because he is more detached and indifferent, then Cheng Jin is a real iceberg man with a paralyzed face.

Cheng Jin looked at him, with a sharp cold light in his eyes, Cheng Ying looked at him without changing his expression, fearless.

"I won't help you if you lose." Cheng Jin said.

"It doesn't matter."

Cheng Jin's eyes were sharp and deep, and his thin lips were slightly pursed, revealing a solemn majesty.But at this time, upon hearing Cheng Ying's answer, the corners of his mouth curled up, with a small arc, but it immediately softened the cold edges and corners around him.

"Second brother! The eldest brother is here too!" A light and lovely voice sounded, and Cheng Ke, who was like a pure snow elf, walked over with a smile.

Cheng Ying first passed her to look at Gu Yueming who was lying on the sofa and couldn't get up, his body seemed to be enveloped in a field of self-loathing, and asked, "What's wrong with him?"

Cheng Ke said with a smile: "Brother Gu said he is a game master, but he couldn't answer the questions I asked, so I wisely stopped asking." She smiled very nicely, with a crystal-like transparency. Ming is beautiful.

"What question did you ask?" Cheng Ying asked with some sympathy for Gu Yueming.

Cheng Ke spread his hands: "I just asked some questions about how to kill people in the game."

"Why are you suddenly interested in games?" Cheng Jin asked displeased.

The family style of the married family is upright, the family education is strict, and playboys are never allowed. Therefore, Cheng Xiaomei, who is still in school, wants to play online games, and no one will believe it.

"I just heard that the upstart Song family has developed a holographic online game, the core technology of which has aroused the government's interest."

"Then?"

"Then they changed the subject and said that the second uncle of the Liang family lost his life because of the failure of the Qi people." Cheng Ke still smiled softly, clean and pure, with a sense of tranquility.

The party was full of revelry all night long, and Cheng Ying was called away from the club early the next morning.Back at the manor, mother Wei Qi is waiting.

"Mother." Cheng Ying bowed and sat on the seat opposite the tea table.The person in front of her was noble and elegant, like a winter plum in the snow, the years didn't seem to have left many traces on her, but only sharpened her spirit to be more indifferent and clear.

Cheng's mother stared at the person in front of her lightly, and Cheng Ying looked back calmly.Chengying's appearance resembles his mother's, and when the two are in the same room, they can feel it more clearly.

"Do you have someone you like this year?" Cheng's mother asked with a very cold expression.

"Not yet."

"There is a daughter in the Chen family who is about the same age as you. The basic information has been sent to your mobile phone email. I have arranged for the two of you to meet."

Cheng Ying frowned: "I thought the Cheng family didn't need to rely on marriage to survive."

Cheng's mother stirred the coffee slowly, her tone was neither joy nor anger: "The Cheng family must have intentions to accept outsiders. If you have someone you like, then the meaning of this person's existence is to make you feel happy. If there is no such person, you need to other uses."

"Combining because of interests often doesn't lead to any good results." Cheng Ying said coldly.

"If you have someone you like, that's a problem on another level." Chengmu looked at him majestically, "And you don't, then this is a business, regardless of the cause, process and result. External factors, situations, Interests, internal relationships, feelings, thoughts, and means of doing business, have you returned them to me?"

Cheng Ying changed his face slightly, and suddenly realized, he got up and bowed deeply: "Please rest assured, mother, tomorrow I will carefully verify whether this business is worthwhile."

Chengmu nodded in satisfaction, indicating that he could leave.

The location of the blind date was set at a high-end club, surrounded by mountains and rivers, overlooking the mountains, the scenery was pleasant, and the misty clouds created a special artistic conception.

The name of the blind date girl is Chen Manrou. She is a tall woman with classical charm. She wears a white dress, her long black hair hangs over her shoulders, her eyebrows are curved with willow leaves, and her pupils are cut by autumn water. like a fairy.

The conversation between the two started with polite mutual compliments, and soon Cheng Ying discovered what kind of person Miss Chen is.No matter what topic she talks about, she will keep talking to show that she understands it well. When it comes to it, she has to change the language of different countries or even classical Chinese, and she will not stop until she hears Chengying's praise.Once she disagrees with her ideas, she will argue endlessly, explaining the source of every sentence, citing classics to show her knowledge, and never ending the topic when she is at a disadvantage.When it comes to others, especially when Chengying expresses her compliments to another person, whether the person is men, women, young or old, ordinary people or celebrities, she will first make a disdainful expression, and then try her best to prove that this person is not real .

Gradually, Cheng Ying didn't say much anymore, and just responded politely and distantly once or twice, leaving Ms. Chen alone to ignorantly boast.Moreover, he mainly turned the topic from all over the world to the present, and began to do his best to inquire about Chengying's family, family, friends, hobbies, daily life and other aspects, and Chengying avoided talking about the topic.

Seeing that it was getting late and the meeting was coming to an end, Cheng Ying sent Ms. Chen to the car sent by the Chen family out of politeness.Just as he was about to leave, Ms. Chen finally stopped him unwillingly: "Today's conversation was very pleasant, and my family will hold a banquet in four days. I originally invited young industrialists from the business world, and I invite you to attend too. "

Cheng Ying frowned slightly, but still said politely: "Thanks for the invitation, but unfortunately I have something to return to school early, so I can only let Miss Chen down."

Looking at Cheng Ying's relentless background, Chen Manrou's originally fairy-like expression turned livid.Chen Manrou is as beautiful as a fairy, talented, versatile, and has an extraordinary family background. I don't know how many young talents are chasing after her, and even many girls admire her.She is also conceited and smart, dismissive of all pursuits, and never thinks that those people are worthy of her for all the false rhetoric posted on her own initiative.

She was reluctant to go on a blind date arranged by her father today, she never thought that a dude from a big family would have anything worth seeing for her.But when I saw him today, the married people really lived up to their reputation, and all the children were outstanding in the circle. Although Cheng Ying hadn't formally entered the business circle to make his mark, he spoke and behaved well, and his talent and demeanor were commendable.Although she didn't want to admit it, in Chen Manrou's heart, if she wanted to find someone worthy of her among her peers, Cheng Ying could barely do it.

But Cheng Ying was too reserved and dull, after talking for so long, she didn't dare to ask for the next meeting, so she sent an invitation to Cheng Ying to attend the banquet four days later.The banquet had the meaning of discovering talents to increase the popularity of the Chen family, and it also had the meaning of building momentum for her, Chen Manrou. She wanted Cheng Ying to see that compared with those people from ordinary backgrounds who worked hard on their own, Cheng Ying's ability and means were still inferior, which also made her Cheng Ying saw that so many capable young industrialists admired her, Chen Manrou, and gave him a sense of crisis.

But she didn't expect that Cheng Ying would refuse!

Obviously everything is fine, she has shown her talent, and he also admires her talent, so why refuse?After thinking about it, Chen Manrou felt that he might be too reserved, that she couldn't believe her because she was so nice, or she was playing hard to get.Chen Manrou was disdainful in her heart. She often heard people say that men have high self-esteem and low face, and it was true.But it's rare to meet someone who meets the standard, Chen Manrou will never give up.
