Chen Feifei's delicate image was completely different from before. She was wearing a dark suit and delicate makeup. She looked much more capable and experienced than before.
Behind her was a man and a woman who seemed to be her assistants.
When Chen Feifei walked to the upper seat and sat down, a reporter wanted to ask her questions. She waved her hand and quickly grasped the home court.
She only said two things. First, she had officially taken over the Chen Corporation from Chen Yongchang. As for Chen Yongchang, because of his health, he had already gone abroad to recuperate.
No one cared about Chen Yongchang's physical condition. This was because Chen Feifei then mentioned two of the Chen Corporation's future plans.
The audience applauded. They all knew that the new CEO couldn't be judged by his appearance.
He finished talking about the company's development direction. Immediately, a reporter asked about Chen Feifei and Zhan Haoze.
"You've been engaged to President Zhan for a long time. When will the wedding be held?"
The reporter's words made Chen Feifei chuckle. "My friend, don't ask this question next time. President Zhan and I have already broken off our engagement. So there won't be a wedding. "
What? The spotlights of the reporters below the stage were flashing non-stop, and a few reporters stood up to ask questions.
"Sorry." Chen Feifei smiled and signaled for the reporters to be quiet. "My engagement with President Zhan was annulled a long time ago. For some reason, it hasn't been made public. Today is a good opportunity for me to make things clear to everyone. Next time, don't associate me with him again. "
"Miss Chen, I heard that you and President Zhan are childhood sweethearts. May I ask why you broke off the engagement? "
"Sorry, it's not convenient for me to disclose."
"Miss Chen, may I ask if President Zhan knows that you announced the annulment of the engagement today?"
"Of course." Chen Feifei seemed to be in a difficult position. "After all, he has been waiting for this day for a long time."
"Miss Chen, can you explain what you mean when you said that he has been waiting for this day for a long time?"
The reporters' questions came one after another. Chen Feifei avoided the important point and focused on the trivial. "Because his heart belongs to someone else."
Chen Feifei suddenly exclaimed, "Sorry, sorry. He was wrong. Actually, it's because we don't get along. Although we've been childhood sweethearts for so many years, we're only siblings. Please don't misunderstand and don't overthink it. "
After saying this, Chen Feifei left the press conference under the protection of security.
However, her last two sentences were obviously a blatant lie. The reporters had caught a big scoop.
Shi Mengwan didn't see the second half of the press conference. She only saw Zhan Haoze return when Chen Feifei said, "I'm sorry, President Zhan and I have already broken off our engagement."
She heard it. Zhan Haoze naturally heard it too.
Shi Mengwan put down her phone and looked at Zhan Haoze. Suddenly, she felt a little unreal.
Did they really break off the engagement? So simple? Was it that easy?
What she had imagined and thought was very difficult was solved so easily?
She blinked her eyes and stared blankly at Zhan Haoze approaching the bed. He sat down in front of her, looked at her dazed expression, and reached out to caress her cheek.
"Do you believe me now?"
Shi Mengwan bit her lip. She didn't know what she could say.
"How did you do it?"
Doesn't Chen Feifei love him very much? How could he be willing to break off the engagement?
"I did her a favor." Zhan Haoze reached out and pulled her into his arms. He lowered his head and gently kissed the top of her hair.
Shi Mengwan let him kiss her and felt her heart beating a little fast. She wanted to cry, but she also wanted to laugh. Was the matter resolved just like that?
"Wanwan." Zhan Haoze straightened her shoulder and looked at her slightly red eyes. "Now, can you promise to be my girlfriend?"
His eyes and brows were gentle. The face in front of her overlapped with the youth from back then. Shi Mengwan couldn't resist this face, nor could she resist his gentleness.
She nodded heavily and threw herself into his arms.
..
Shi Mengwan brought the dishes to the dining table, and Zhan Haoze set up the bowls. When the two of them looked at each other, there was a faint smile in each other's eyes.
When they sat down, Shi Mengwan took the soup that Zhan Haoze scooped for her. At this moment, she thought that she had returned to the time when they were in the small bungalow.
In the two days since Chen Feifei and Zhan Haoze announced that they were breaking off their engagement, Shi Mengwan had been with Zhan Haoze.
Other than occasionally going out to deal with business, he spent most of his time with her. This made her especially satisfied.
After dinner, the two of them found a movie and snuggled up on the sofa to watch it.
Shi Mengwan had thought of going to the cinema with Zhan Haoze to experience the feeling of a date. However, every time she had to go out and see such a big scene, she didn't want to go out with Zhan Haoze at all.
It was too exaggerated.
To Zhan Haoze, this kind of movie was very boring. He would rather do something else. However, Shi Mengwan was very interested in watching it.
He was so bored that he could only play with her fingers. Shi Mengwan pulled her hand back, and he went to grab it again.
Her hands were well-maintained, but because she had been drawing for many years, there was a thin, extremely light layer of calluses where her fingers held the pen.
He felt a little heartache when he saw it. He held her hand and brought it to his lips to kiss it. This kind of interference made Shi Mengwan unable to continue watching the movie.
She pulled her hand back. "Stop fooling around."
Zhan Haoze stopped playing with her hand and turned to wrap his arms around her waist. He watched as she took the exquisite collarbone.
He lowered his head and kissed it. Shi Mengwan pushed his head again. "I said stop fooling around."
Just as they were about to reach the climax, the male and female leads broke up because of a misunderstanding. Zhan Haoze kissed the top of her head instead.
"Wanwan, come back to Qing City with me."
Shi Mengwan was watching attentively when she suddenly heard this. She turned around and glanced at Zhan Haoze.
"Zhan Haoze?"
"Come back to Qing City with me," Zhan Haoze said very seriously. "I've been busy for the past few days. Most of the business focus has been shifted over. In the next few days, Qing City will be the main focus. Wanwan, I hope you can come to Qing City with me. "
Shi Mengwan was silent. Before Zhan Haoze broke off the engagement, she had thought about how they would continue their path if she could be with Zhan Haoze openly one day.
She had also considered what Zhan Haoze said about going with him. For example, didn't Su Qingsang also marry out of town?
However, it was one thing to have this plan in mind, and it was another thing to actually have this day come.
"I need to think about it."
"What else do you need to think about?"
Shi Mengwan didn't know what to say. Now that she was in Lin City, it would only take her two hours to return to her home.
But if she went to Qing City, she would be even further away from her parents. She originally wanted to bring her parents to Lin City, but they weren't willing.
In two years, when Shi Mengru was admitted to a school in another city, her parents wouldn't even have a companion by their side.
"If you're worried about your parents, you can bring them to Qing City. I have a lot of businesses in Qing City. When the time comes, they can choose any place to live. "
"My parents won't go with me." No matter how small the town was, it was still their own home.
No matter how good Qing City was, it was still someone else's place.
"If your parents don't want to go, I can hire someone to take care of them."
"That's not necessary. They're in good health now. My dad is still working in the fields every day. "
Shi Mengwan looked at Zhan Haoze and thought of something else. "Let's go back to town tomorrow to see my parents, okay?"
Mother Shi had some misunderstandings about Zhan Haoze, although it wasn't a misunderstanding. However, if she really wanted to go to Qing City with Zhan Haoze, she still had to get her parents to agree.
"Okay." Zhan Haoze nodded. "I should visit your parents. Don't worry, I'll do my best."
"I'm afraid it won't be easy for my mother." Shi Mengwan didn't mind reminding him. "Don't forget, you have a criminal record."
Zhan Haoze also thought of it. He picked up Shi Mengwan's body and hugged her in his arms. "Criminal record? Is it that serious? "
"Isn't it?" Shi Mengwan raised an eyebrow. "You have a fiancée."
She reached out and tapped Zhan Haoze's chest. "Thinking about it this way, I'm really at a disadvantage. Perhaps, I should get a fiancé too."
"Wanwan." Zhan Haoze didn't like such a suggestion. "This joke isn't funny."
"I think it's pretty good." Shi Mengwan looked serious. "After all, I haven't seen many other men, so …"
She couldn't say the rest. Zhan Haoze would allow anything else, but to let Shi Mengwan see other men? Dream on.
Shi Mengwan was just casually saying it. How could she really go see other men?
Now that Zhan Haoze kissed her until she couldn't breathe, she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him instead.
This kiss slowly changed its flavor.
..
Shi Mengwan was right. In Shi Mengwan's heart, Zhan Haoze was a man with a criminal record. It was obvious from the fact that she kept arranging blind dates for her daughter.
To Shi Mengwan, the son-in-law she wanted to find for her daughter didn't need to be rich or capable.
There was only one requirement, to be good to her daughter and make her happy.
Zhan Haoze, who had a fiancée before, was obviously not within her consideration.
Therefore, when she saw Zhan Haoze follow Shi Mengwan into the door with his hands full of gifts, not only was there no smile on his face, but he was also very gloomy.
"Wanwan?"
Shi Mengwan and Zhan Haoze stayed together in Lin City for a few days. It wasn't until Zhan Haoze received a call that he was going back to Qing City.
There were a lot of things waiting for Zhan Haoze to deal with in Qing City, but he stayed with her in Shi Mengwan's small apartment in Lin City.
Tang Hua and Zhang Yang didn't say it out loud, but they were already complaining in their hearts.
One had to know that although the Zhan family was suppressed to the point that they couldn't raise their heads, Zhan Lie wasn't dead yet. Zhan Lie's wife, Bi Shuqiao, also had a good family background. Now that the two of them and their two sons were locked up under surveillance, how could the Bi family be willing to accept this?
They had come to their door a few times, although they were all blocked. However, the Bi family had roughly guessed something and had been up to a lot of small tricks recently.
Those small tricks couldn't stop Zhan Haoze, but they still had to wait for Zhan Haoze to return to Qing City before they dealt with Zhan Lie and Bi Shuqiao.
Zhan Haoze didn't tell Shi Mengwan about these things. He only told Shi Mengwan before he went to bed last night that if possible, he wanted to visit the Shi family's parents as soon as possible.
Shi Mengwan didn't hesitate. Since she had already decided to be with Zhan Haoze. Then it was a very necessary step to bring Zhan Haoze to meet his parents.
Shi Mengwan also knew that Zhan Haoze had a fiancée that wouldn't be over so quickly with Mother Shi.
Therefore, she was already mentally prepared when she came all the way here.
Afraid that she would scare Mother Shi, Shi Mengwan resolutely didn't allow Zhan Haoze to bring his convoy to town. So now there were only the two of them.
Hearing Mother Shi call her, she touched Zhan Haoze's arm.
Before they came, they had agreed that Zhan Haoze would perform today. Including how to explain it to Mother Shi, it was all his business.
"Hello, Auntie." Zhan Haoze handed over the gifts in his hands. The smile on his face was a little fawning. "These are gifts for Auntie and Uncle."
"I don't want them." Mother Shi didn't even look at them. She even took a step back. "I can't accept Mr. Zhan's gift."
Zhan Haoze held the bags in both hands. He didn't feel awkward standing there. "How can Auntie not accept it? I'm with Wanwan, so you're my elder. There's nothing I can't accept. "
"Stop." Mother Shi's expression changed when she heard his words. "What did you say? You're with Wanwan? "
Even though she was already mentally prepared when she saw them appear together, Mother Shi's expression still changed when she heard this.
"Yes." Zhan Haoze openly admitted. "Wanwan and I had a misunderstanding before. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, we're back together."
"Misunderstanding?" Mother Shi sneered and remained unmoved. "Is having a fiancée also a misunderstanding?"
Zhan Haoze was a little embarrassed. This wasn't a misunderstanding.
"Auntie, I've already resolved this matter."
"Resolved? How? "
Mother Shi's attitude seemed to be good. Zhan Haoze gained some courage. "I've already broken off the engagement."
Shi Mengwan nodded at the side, as if to prove it to Zhan Haoze. Unfortunately, Mother Shi wasn't moved at all.
"Really? When did it end? "
"Last week."
Mother Shi didn't say anything. Zhan Haoze just stood in the yard with the gifts in his hands.
Shi Mengwan was afraid that he would get tired after carrying it for a long time, so she gave him a look and told him to put it down. Zhan Haoze shook his head at her gently.
Mother Shi didn't miss their small movements at all. She looked at Shi Mengwan and suddenly spoke.
"Wanwan. President Zhan said that he broke off the engagement? Is this true? "
"Yes."
"Then how do you know that he really broke it off? What if he's lying to your face and deceiving you? "
"Mom." Shi Mengwan felt that Mother Shi had really watched too much TV. "How is that possible? He held a press conference and appeared on TV about breaking off the engagement. "
"Really?"
"Of course." Shi Mengwan quickly nodded. "Mom, don't worry. His engagement is really broken off. "
Mother Shi wanted to say something else, but Zhan Haoze handed the gift in his hand forward at the right time. "Auntie, believe me. I'm really single now. I don't have an engagement, and I don't have a girlfriend. I'm also serious about Mengwan. "
With her guarantee, Mother Shi felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't remember what it was.
In the end, she didn't hit a smiling person. She waved her hand and called Zhan Haoze into the house.
The few of them had been standing in the yard talking just now. Fortunately, it was busy farming now, so there weren't many people. Otherwise, people might gossip if they saw them.
Shi Mengwan blinked at Zhan Haoze. This meant that she had passed. Zhan Haoze smiled and the two of them entered the door.
Mother Shi looked at the time. "Your dad has gone to the fields and will be back soon for dinner. You guys sit for a while. I'll go buy some vegetables. "
"Mom, I'll go with you."
"No need." Mother Shi tapped Shi Mengwan's forehead. "If you want to come back next time, let me know in advance."
Since her son-in-law came to visit, she had to entertain him well. Even this child didn't say a word.
"Mom. We're all family. There's no need to stand on ceremony with him. "
Mother Shi's reaction was to glare at her, then turn around and go out.
Shi Mengwan looked at Zhan Haoze and suddenly smiled. It was as if she didn't expect to pass so easily.
Zhan Haoze was a little worried just now, but now he relaxed.
"Look, nothing happened at all."
On the way here, Shi Mengwan had been very worried. Along the way, she thought about what he would do if Mother Shi made things difficult for him.
"I'm fine because my mother loves me." Shi Mengwan's face was full of pride. "Do you think it's because of you? My mother loves me, so she won't make things difficult for you. "
"Yes." It was rare that Zhan Haoze didn't argue with Shi Mengwan. "Your mother loves you. She also loves her son-in-law. "
"Go away." Shi Mengwan hit him. "Whose son-in-law are you? Don't randomly call me relatives. "
"If I'm not your son-in-law, why did you bring me here?"
While the two of them were laughing, Father Shi returned. He suddenly saw that there was a man at home, and he was even holding hands with his daughter and standing together very intimately. His expression didn't look good for a moment.
"Wanwan?"
"Dad." Shi Mengwan quickly retracted her hand and took two steps forward. "You're back?"
"Yes." Father Shi nodded. "Yes. I'm back. "
His trousers were still stained with mud from working in the field, and his face was a little black and red from the sun. At this moment, his gaze sized up Zhan Haoze.
"Hello, Uncle. My name is Zhan Haoze. I'm Wanwan's boyfriend. "
Zhan Haoze went forward and introduced himself. It was his first time meeting his father-in-law, so he was under a lot of pressure. However, he was used to being cold. Even if he was nervous, it couldn't be seen on his face at all. Instead, he looked very calm and collected.
Father Shi didn't look at him. Instead, he looked at Shi Mengwan. "Wanwan? When did this happen? Why haven't I heard of it at all? You didn't object when your mother said that she wanted to arrange a blind date for you, right? At that time, didn't you have a boyfriend? "
"Dad, he's indeed my boyfriend."
Zhan Haoze took another step forward and introduced himself again. At the same time, he reached out to shake Father Shi's hand.
"How long have you known each other?" Father Shi didn't even look at that hand and only looked at Shi Mengwan.
"We've known each other for a long time." Shi Mengwan's words made Father Shi raise his eyebrows again. "Known each other for a long time? Then why are you still going on a blind date? "
"Uh." Shi Mengwan didn't expect Father Shi to catch the main point with one sentence. She chuckled. "Although we've known each other for a long time, we've only been together recently. That's why we're going on a blind date. "
"Is that so?"
Father Shi didn't say anything and just stared at Zhan Haoze. His looks were not bad, and he looked like a decent person.
Even if Father Shi hadn't seen the world before, he knew that the suit wasn't cheap.
Logically speaking, he should be happy to have such a son-in-law. But Father Shi couldn't be happy. He looked at his daughter, who was as beautiful as a flower.
No matter how he looked at it, Zhan Haoze looked like a pig who came to steal his cabbage. He was inexplicably unhappy. Hence, he chose to ignore Zhan Haoze's extended hand.
This atmosphere was really a little awkward. However, Zhan Haoze's heart was unusually strong. If Father Shi didn't shake hands with him, he would calmly retract his hand.
As for Shi Mengwan's gaze, he even patted the back of her hand in a place where Father Shi couldn't see.
The two of them "exchanged flirtatious glances" didn't escape Father Shi's eyes. He looked at Zhan Haoze even more differently.
At this moment, no matter what Shi Mengwan said, he didn't say anything. He just stood there and stared at Zhan Haoze. When he saw Shi Mengwan smiling sweetly at him, he suddenly had the urge to hit someone.
Very soon, Mother Shi returned. She went into the kitchen and asked Father Shi to take a shower before coming out.
No matter what, it was Zhan Haoze's first time visiting. It was really inappropriate for him to stand next to his future son-in-law in such a muddy state. Father Shi felt the disdain in Mother Shi's mouth, and his mood was a little complicated. When he looked at Zhan Haoze again, he was even more displeased.
However, he had to listen to his wife's words. Father Shi obediently went to take a shower. Thus, one went into the kitchen, and the other went back to the room. Only Zhan Haoze and Shi Mengwan were left in the living room.
"I'm sorry. My dad has never seen you before. "Shi Mengwan didn't even believe what she said. She didn't know why her father had such great hostility when he saw Zhan Haoze for the first time.
"It's okay. I understand. " Zhan Haoze nodded. "If we have a daughter in the future and another man wants to marry her, I won't be happy either."
Being unhappy was light. It was even possible for him to fight with him.
"Tsk, who wants to have a daughter with you?" Shi Mengwan smiled and patted him. In just a short while, Shi Mengru returned.
Compared to Father Shi and Mother Shi, Shi Mengru was the only one who had a good expression towards Zhan Haoze.
"Brother-in-law? Can I call you Brother-in-law? "
Shi Mengru's words caused Father Shi and Mother Shi to object at the same time. "No."
"But, isn't he Sister's boyfriend?"
"He's not married, so why are you calling him Brother-in-law?" Father Shi glared at his little daughter who was siding with an outsider. "Call him Mr. Zhan."
"Mengru, right? You can call me Brother Zhan. "
Zhan Haoze smiled and tried to smooth things over. He was handsome, and he looked imposing. Shi Mengru was thirteen years old, the age of naughtiness.
"Okay, Brother Zhan." She didn't know how to be polite at all. "You're so handsome. What do you do? "
"I start a small company."
Zhan Haoze said it very modestly. The corners of Shi Mengwan's mouth twitched. XM was also called a small company? Hehe.
"Really? What company? "
"XM," Zhan Haoze answered casually. Shi Mengru nodded. However, a few seconds later, she suddenly exclaimed. She took out her phone and swiped it a few times. Finally, she looked up at Zhan Haoze with a shocked expression.
