Flash Marriage: The Prince's Contract Wife Novel - Chapter 286
Chapter 286: Thank you, aunt Qi
Millie stood at the side and smiled brightly when she saw the scene. She was happy that the company had business.
Even Chen Anna was the same. She gave her good friend a look, feeling extremely happy.
The group gathered around the long table, chatting and clinking their glasses.
In addition, CEO Bai and the other two didn’t have any burdens, so they got along happily.
At this moment, Zheng Zeyi was on his way to the venue. On the other side, Chen zuolin had also wanted to participate in the fashion show.
However, he had been delayed by some matters at home. His mother had said that this was the last time she would speak to him, so he really couldn’t refuse.
In the end, he could only give up on the fashion show for the time being.
Joes was still unaware of this matter.
Even if he knew, he would not know what to say.
………
“Mom,” she said. After Chen zuolin pushed open the door of the villa, he immediately saw Qi Yan sitting in the middle.
He also knew the pretty girl sitting next to him.
It was Bai Lili, the daughter of the Bai family in city H.
Seeing this, Chen zuolin’s face turned cold. He put his briefcase aside.
Even if he didn’t say anything, he already knew what his mother meant.
“Zuolin, you’re back. Come and have a seat. I’m sure you still remember this guy. You guys played together when you were young.”
When Qi Yan saw her son return, she quickly stood up and welcomed him in. She introduced him,””This is uncle Bai’s daughter, Lili.”
After the last incident, Chen zuolin hadn’t made any moves.
Qi Yan was so anxious that she thought of this method to call her son back to meet the young lady of the Bai family.
No matter what, they were childhood playmates. Who knew if they had some feelings for each other?
Seeing this, Bai Lili also stood up. She was wearing a plain white dress, and the ruffled design made her look a little playful.
Her appearance was also extremely exquisite. Her fingers clutched the corner of her clothes, and she was a little embarrassed. She lowered her head slightly and greeted,””Big brother Lin, it’s Lili.”
After she finished speaking, Bai Lili’s eyes flashed with determination, but the Buddha disappeared very quickly.
Qi Yan didn’t notice anything. She still had the smile of a rich lady on her face as she introduced the girl to Chen zuolin.
Li Li …
Chen zuolin narrowed his eyes when he heard this.
Childhood playmates. Qi Yan was right about that. Bai Lili had indeed played with Chen zuolin before.
However, that was all in their childhood. Now, the two of them had grown up.
Moreover, even back then, Chen zuolin didn’t like this shadow, let alone now.
“Zuolin, are you even listening to me?” Qi Yan couldn’t help but ask when Chen zuolin didn’t respond.
Hearing this, Chen zuolin finally reacted,”I heard you, mom. You’re still arranging a meeting for me.”
He directly pointed out the truth.
She didn’t like this kind of thing to begin with, but it was still arranged so hard, so it was normal to be a little emotional.
Hearing this, Qi Yan felt a little guilty,””Zuolin, isn’t Lili here? I was thinking of letting you two meet.”
“That’s right, big brother Lin,” Bai Lili quickly chimed in.”Auntie Qi didn’t mean anything by it. Please don’t misunderstand.”
They seemed to have an extremely good relationship.
Chen zuolin furrowed his brows, but he couldn’t just leave.
It was even more impossible for him to get along with Bai Lili.
“I’ll go upstairs first. ” Chen zuolin turned around and walked up the stairs to the second floor after he finished speaking.
His back view was resolute, and he left without looking back.
“Zuolin, have a meal with Lili. Why are you in such a hurry?” Qi Yan pursed her lips.
However, all she heard was Chen zuolin’s indifferent reply,””No need,”
The last thing Qi Yan and Bai Lili saw was the figure who had disappeared at the top of the stairs.
Bai Lili’s gaze did not move away for a long time. Her white hands, which were placed by her sides, clenched into fists, but they were in places where Qi Yan could not see.
At that moment, their faces twisted.
Chen zuolin’s behavior was truly embarrassing for her, and his mother had witnessed everything.
She wondered if Qi Yan would still think that she was a suitable candidate for a daughter-in-law after seeing Chen zuolin’s actions.
Bai Lili’s heart tightened at the thought of this. She had wanted to marry into the Chen family for a long time.
This was an opportunity that he could not miss!
Fortunately, Qi Yan didn’t notice her abnormality. She said apologetically,””I’m sorry, Lili. Zuolin is just like that.
He’s so stubborn that he doesn’t listen to anyone. I’ll go back and persuade him. You’re such a good girl. If he misses you, it’ll be hard to find another one. ”
Qi Yan’s tone was filled with worry.
It wasn’t easy for him to find a daughter-in-law that he liked, and she was even related to Chen zuolin.
In the end, her son did not give her any face. She did not know what to do.
The corners of Bai Lili’s mouth curled up into a smile. She shook her head and said,””It’s alright, aunt Qi. Brother Lin knows what he’s doing. If he really doesn’t want to, it’s no use forcing him. ”
He had an understanding look.
Qi Yan was very pleased. She patted her shoulder and said softly,””I knew you’re a good kid. I’m sure you’ll have a good talk with zuolin.”
“Aunt Qi, I’m not as good as you say.” Bai Lili lowered her head shyly and glanced upstairs.
As expected, Chen zuolin, who had been in the study, had no intention of coming out.
Seeing this, Qi Yan deliberately frowned and said,””You child, Auntie is an understanding person. Of course, I know that you’re a good child.
Let’s go, I’ll take you to see the garden. Zuolin will come down when it’s time for dinner. ”
After saying that, he took the lead and led the way, ready to take Bai Lili to the back garden of the villa.
Of course, Bai Lili would not refuse. She immediately said,””Sure, thank you in advance, Auntie Qi.”
The two of them walked towards the back garden. The door of the study upstairs was still closed.
If someone was in the study room, they would be able to see Chen zuolin’s gloomy expression.
“Bang!”
Chen zuolin’s brows couldn’t relax when he thought of the scene downstairs. He slammed the table heavily, making a loud sound.
After a long time, he finally calmed down.
There were many bookshelves in the study room, filled with books and some folders.
When he had time, Chen zuolin would come to the study to deal with business, but not often.
After temporarily putting down the matter downstairs, Chen zuolin’s expression eased a little. He pulled out a book from the shelf and began to read at the desk.
