"Grandfather, I … I"m at the door of my house. "
"Hurry back, I have something to ask you."
Cheng Weilai could only reply and quickly ran towards his home. Her parents had divorced early on, his mother had mercilessly abandoned her and left. His father had been depressed and sick, she had been brought up by his grandfather.
Cheng Weilai opened the door and walked into the s.p.a.cious hall. Her family"s background was not bad, he could afford to live in such a huge mansion, all thanks to his grandfather"s foundation in business. Now that her uncle had taken over, coupled with the changes in the agreed upon pattern, it made it difficult for him in this industry.
"Grandfather!" Once Cheng Weilai entered, he saw his grandfather, who was sitting on the sofa with a gloomy expression.
"You still have the face to come back? Where did you go and what have you been doing? Don"t think that I don"t know." Old Man Cheng glared at her angrily.
Cheng Weilai could not help but s.h.i.+ver and he said, feeling wronged, "I went to look for him in the afternoon and coincidentally saw that he had an extra woman on his carriage. I just wanted to know if he brought this woman to the banquet, so I went there … Grandfather, he did something to that girl. "
Cheng Weilai wanted to voice his grievances, but Old Master Cheng retorted back, "A man going out to socialize will inevitably need some methods, why are you following and disturbing Hui Yang? Don"t even mention getting beaten up, now he says you still want to break up with him. "
"Grandfather, I really don"t want to marry him. He isn"t the type of person I like." Cheng Weilai bit hard on his lips, wanting to strive for his happiness.
Old Man Cheng said with a cold face, "It doesn"t matter who you like. The most important thing is, whether it"s useful to our family. The family background and power of the Kang family can give your uncle a great benefit. Only if you marry them will they help us."
She still had to give birth to a child, and must definitely give birth to a son. On this point, Kang Huiyang had told her before, when he took her out to play tricks last time, and was rejected by her, he said this, and had even thought of lying to her so that he could have a relations.h.i.+p with her earlier.
"Could it be that this is the only use I have in my grandfather"s heart? To find a way out for my uncle"s company? " Cheng Weilai couldn"t help but resist.
Old man Cheng immediately stood up in anger, "You were raised by me and raised by me. I didn"t teach you to rebel against me. You have to listen to me and marry whoever I ask you to! And marrying Kang Huiyang is also to find a powerful backer for your future, and to go back to your room. "
Cheng Weilai bit his lips, and only after turning around did his tears flow. She returned to his room and took out the gold name card from his bag, holding it tightly in her hand, as if this was the only hope she had to escape.
In the direction of the banquet hall, the conversation continued. After Duan Siye left, Duan Shu Xian and Xi Jingchen found a quiet place to chat.
"That person, why is he so arrogant!" Duan Shu Xian asked curiously while holding her chin.
"That"s not surprising. It"s obvious that he"s an unfilial son that was doted on. Such a person is a pest of society." Xi Jingchen said calmly.
As Duan Shu Xian looked at him, who was the same age as her, she couldn"t help but think about the difference between people. She gently held his hand from under the table and gazed at him with a gaze of wors.h.i.+pping and love.
Xi Jingchen wrapped his arm around her and kissed her on the forehead. At this time, the Mrs. Sun"s treasure was about to make his move, and placed it on the red table, covered with an exquisite box. To make charity for the Mrs. Sun, was originally due to her dedication, so the price wasn"t too high.
Xi Jingchen brought Duan Shu Xian over, and whispered into her ear, "Tell me what you like later."
Duan Shu Xian nodded. This atmosphere brought about a trace of nervousness and excitement. Very quickly, a few small treasures took action.
On the fourth item, it was an extremely aged pocket watch, and everyone present was considering whether to take it or not. A look of antic.i.p.ation flashed across Duan Shu Xian"s eyes as she asked Xi Jingchen who was beside her, "Can I have this pocket watch?"
"Of course." Xi Jingchen raised his hand, "Mrs. Sun, I want this."
"Alright! Then put it away! "I"ll give it to this young master in a bit." Mrs. Sun did not mention his surname.
The rest of the items were quickly s.n.a.t.c.hed away by the ladies. They were all jewellery items, and Duan Shu Xian was not interested in any of them.
"Why do you like that old pocket watch?"
"It"s not that I like it, it"s that my grandpa likes it. He likes to collect things that have a feeling of this era. I remember that he had a few pocket watches already, I want to give him another bad feeling." Duan Shu Xian pursed her lips and smiled.
Xi Jingchen was moved by her filial piety. All the jewels at the back, as well as the ladies and mistresses present, were fighting for it, but she was not moved. Instead, he gave his grandfather a pocket watch.
