Chapter 1149: He Wanted to Marry Xi Xi
He Xiyan walked toward Cheng Cheng’s mother and shook her hand warmly.
“Thank you for attending Xi Xi’s birthday party.”
He Xiyan pasted a smile on her face the entire day and tried to make herself seem very energized by wearing a smile even though she wasn’t feeling well.
“h.e.l.lo, Xi Xi’s mother. I’m Cheng Cheng,” Cheng Cheng said as he looked up at He Xiyan and introduced himself happily.
He Xiyan patted the child’s shoulder and turned to look at him. Cheng Cheng was a beautiful boy who looked like he was Yuan Yuan’s age.
“So you’re Cheng Cheng,” she said with a smile. Her daughter would occasionally mention Cheng Cheng’s name as the boy who would often give her little gifts.
“Yes, Auntie. I’m Xi Xi’s best friend,” Cheng Cheng said. He referred to Xi Xi as his best friend.
His mother told him that he should take Xi Xi as his bride when he is older, so he had resolved to treat Xi Xi well and become her best friend.
“Yes, Xi Xi often talks about you as well,” He Xiyan said with a smile. She hoped that her children would make more friends.
There were more than twenty people seated in the living room and there was a mix of children and their parents. The children were already happily playing together. Some were playing games while others were telling jokes while their parents also mingled with each other. They were all very excited and proud because their child was friends with Xi Xi.
They were all very rich or high-ranking officials, so they were all very polite with each other. They all had their own motives in making time to attend this party with their children, such as using this as an opportunity to connect with Xi Xi’s father Ye Hao in hopes that he would treat them favorably if they ever were to cooperate in the workplace.The parents of the boys even hoped that their sons would marry into the Ye family one day. Ye Hao only had a daughter, so it was possible that his daughter would inherit his entire fortune in the future. Their child was around Xi Xi’s age, so if they were to marry Ye Zixi, they could reap huge benefits from this alliance.
w.a.n.g Min led her son into the living room.
She couldn’t hold back her happiness and excitement. This was her first time seeing a house like this with a romantic and mysterious vibe: the high ceilings, the large gothic doors, the European-style garden where a myriad of fresh flowers bloomed, a luxurious hall that seemed to have no end in sight, beautiful crystal lights, the soft and dark-colored carpet, and the oil paintings that hung on the walls that were all by famous painters and commanded exorbitant prices. The house was decorated in a cla.s.sical palace-style like a medieval castle.
Her three-bedroom house was not even as grand as the bathroom in this house.
“Mom, this castle is so gorgeous. It looks just like a palace,” Cheng Cheng couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement. He had seen castles on television but this castle seemed larger and grander than the castles on television.
“Yes,” w.a.n.g Min said as she took a deep breath. She really liked this castle and she wished that this was her home.
They soon arrived in the living room and spotted the other children and their parents.
These parents were also looking at them but no one greeted them because no one recognized them.
He Xiyan was completely oblivious to the fact that these parents were after the Ye family wealth and connections and even came with ulterior motives.
It was even more unlikely that Xi Xi who was too young to have any idea of what these parents were plotting.
She had merely invited the cla.s.smates whom she hung out with at school, so she wasn’t aware of their family backgrounds.
Ye Hao chatted with the fathers of some of the children present and they mainly talked about their children. These parents cleverly avoided talking about work or business so that Ye Hao wouldn’t be able to sense their ulterior motives.
