Chapter 357 Wedding (2)(1/2)
"mom!"
Walking into the courtyard of the Lin family's mansion, she saw her mother and her father, also dressed in costumes, chatting and laughing with several distinguished guests and friends of the Lin family in the front yard of the Lin family villa, holding Cao Mo's arms with a sweet look on their faces.
Cheng Xi, who was holding his arm, shouted in shock.
He was so shocked that he forgot to pull Cao Mo away secretly.
Lin Yunshan is a senior executive of Xinlian Bank. His son is getting married and she works at Xinlian Bank. Her family's status in Xinhai is not very low, so whether it was invited by the Lin family or her parents took the initiative to ask for a piece of advice after they found out about it.
Attending a wedding is a normal thing.
The problem is that her mother never mentioned this matter at home.
Cheng Xi didn't like to bring her mother's social interactions into relationships with her classmates and colleagues. She had never mentioned attending the wedding at home, but she soon wanted to understand why her mother also
Didn't you mention this?
Do you want to treat someone else's wedding scene as her husband-selection blind date?
Shocked, Cheng Xi held Cao Mo's arm tighter.
To be shocked, of course it was Cheng Zhengjie, and Yang Lifang was even more shocked. Yang Lifang opened her mouth as if she had been struck by lightning, and she didn't know what to say for a long time.
What is the occasion today?
Most of the senior executives of Xinhai United Bank and the colleagues Cheng Xi interacts with at work will attend today's wedding. If the relationship between the two had not been stable, how could they attend such an occasion arm in arm?
After spending thousands of days guarding against thieves, how could she have imagined that the thief would have already stolen her daughter?
"Lao Cheng, my head is a little dizzy, are my eyes blurry?" Yang Lifang grabbed her husband Cheng Zhengjie's arm, and felt her heart beating suddenly. She was a little breathless, and she didn't want to admit what she saw in front of her.
"This is Mr. Yang, Mr. Cheng, your daughter. She is so beautiful. Mr. Yang just said that your daughter has no friends. Who is this?" Someone nearby noticed something unusual here and looked over in confusion and asked.
"Cao Mo, my nephew..." Cheng Zhengjie was also shocked. Although he was not unable to accept the facts before him, he had to take care of his wife's mood. He could only deal with other people's questions with a smile, and quickly helped his wife to the
He sat down at the stone table and winked at Cao Mo and Cheng Xi to walk over.
Zhou Shan, the groom Lin Fang, the bridesmaids, and the groomsmen were also very surprised when they saw this scene. They were all a little confused about what was going on, but they had a lot to socialize with, and there were also some traditional ceremonies to be performed, so they hurriedly called out
Say hello and rush to the living room to meet the groom's parents.
"Uncle Cheng, Aunt Yang..."
Cheng Xi didn't want to talk to her mother, but Cao Mo knew that this test would pass sooner or later, so he took Cheng Xi's hand and walked over and shouted.
"You kid, why didn't you tell me when you came back to China?" Cheng Zhengjie waved his fist to express his strong dissatisfaction.
"I just returned home this morning. I originally planned to treat Uncle Cheng and Aunt Yang to dinner in the evening. Unexpectedly, right after we got off the plane, Cheng Xi said that she was inviting dinner to her classmate's wedding, so she came over first." Cao Mo didn't want to irritate his future mother-in-law.
He replied with a very honest attitude.
Yang Lifang was so filled with hatred that she turned away, neither looking at Cao Mo nor her daughter Cheng Xi. She even felt that her husband Cheng Zhengjie was also disgusting, thinking that if he had always been involved with the Cao family, where would he be today?
thing?

…………
The front and back yards of the Lin family's mansion add up to three to four hundred square meters. It would be considered a mansion in Xinhai, but it is not comparable to a real manor abroad. It is not comparable to a manor-level villa in China.
There were many guests and friends invited to the Lin family mansion in the afternoon. Yang Lifang had to go out in anger at this time, otherwise she would have to avoid socializing with others.
At this time, a middle-aged man came out of the villa building and saw Yang Lifang, Cheng Zhengjie and others sitting in the corner of the yard. He came over without knowing the situation and said hello happily:
"Mr. Yang, Director Cheng, why are you hiding here? Cheng Xi asked your parents to arrest you here, and I said why didn't you see anyone?"
Yang Lifang was extremely unhappy, but she was a person with a good face. Seeing that the visitor was a senior executive of Xinlian Bank, she responded with a forced smile and asked: "We are hiding here for peace and quiet, why didn't Minister Zhou play cards?"
"My skills as a three-legged cat will not be lost in showing my eyes - Lao Yu, Lao Xie, they are too big, I am not on the same level as them," the middle-aged man saw Cheng Xi still holding Cao Mo's hand
Yang Lifang looked at Cao Mo curiously and asked Cheng Xi, "Who is this young man? Why don't you introduce him to me?"
"Minister Zhou, Cao Mo is my boyfriend," Cheng Xi introduced Cao Mo to the middle-aged man in a graceful manner, "This is Minister Zhou Bin of our Xinlian Bank Interbank Department..."
"The young man looks very talented," the middle-aged man stretched out his hand to shake Cao Mo's hand, looked at him curiously, and then talked to Yang Lifang, "Since when did Cheng Xi become friends? She is in the head office.
There's not even a hint of news - I had dinner with Mr. Yang last time, but I didn't listen to what you said. I was still thinking of introducing some young talents to her today. Some of the best men for Xiao Lin today,
They're all pretty good. I just helped Cheng Xi find out which of them didn't have a partner, but I didn't expect that Cheng Xi kept silent and found such an outstanding one..."
"What's so good about him? He's just good-looking." No matter how unhappy Yang Lifang felt, she could only admit it first and said with a forced smile, "He is the son of a mature friend. The two of them secretly talked about being friends. Before
They didn’t even tell us…”
"Mr. Yang, you are very demanding, but your daughter is so beautiful and she is a top student at Xinhai University, so she should be more demanding," Zhou Bin laughed. He had no other place to go at the moment, just in Shijiazhuang.
He sat down at the table to talk to Yang Lifang and Cheng Zhengjie, and asked about Cao Mo's origins, "Where does the young man work?"
Yang Lifang cut off the conversation and said: "Investing in Africa..."
Cao Mo was sure that Yang Lifang didn't know anything about him. Yang Lifang was obviously unwilling to admit in front of outsiders that her daughter had a boyfriend who hadn't graduated from high school. At this time, even if she wanted to pretend to be fat, she still had to say that he was investing overseas. No.
It will be said that he works overseas.
Well, no matter what, this is a good start after all. At least Yang Lifang did not overturn the table and "sever the relationship between mother and daughter" with Cheng Xi.
"Oh, what investments are you making in Africa? Our shares of Xinlian Bank
Dongfang Unit, Dongsheng, and Taihua all have large investments in Africa!" Zhou Bin asked with great interest.
"I mainly invest in minerals, food, motorcycles, cement, electric power and energy in West Africa. Basically, I will try to do whatever is needed there. A small effort will not make a big difference..." Cao Mo was both honest and honest.
Said with a bit of humility.
"Young people nowadays are really amazing. They dare to go to Africa to make a living at such a young age..." Zhou Bin also believed it and said to Yang Lifang with emotion.
With the identities of Cheng Zhengjie and Yang Lifang, he thought that Cheng Zhengjie’s friends, especially his daughter, were planning to get married, so they were well-known families in Xinhai. Cao Mo looked younger, but his family used some funds to make them
He learned to invest, or his family already had investments in Africa, which Zhou Bin thought was normal.
However, Yang Lifang was worried that Cao Mo's bullshit had been blown. Seeing that Zhou Bin was chatting happily, she quickly stood up and separated the topic and said: "President Lin is marrying his daughter-in-law, and there will be a traditional ceremony at home today - let's go in and have a look."
Cheng Zhengjie and Zhou Bin walked in front, while Yang Lifang fell behind and said to Cao Mo in a low voice: "Take it easy, don't tell lies - forget it, you can find a place to stay by yourselves, don't go in with us."
"Okay." Cao Mo smiled bitterly, thinking that he was already humble enough.
Yang Lifang didn't worry about anything else. She was obviously worried that he would spill the beans after entering the house and make a fool of himself. Cao Mo had nothing to argue with at this time, so he just wanted to stay in the courtyard with Cheng Xi honestly - he and Cheng Xi
The most difficult level is almost over.
Watching her parents and Zhou Bin walking towards the villa, Cheng Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief, clutching her chest and said, "I was scared to death. I thought my mother was going to sever the mother-daughter relationship with me.
Woolen cloth……"
"It's okay. The worst case scenario is that you lied to your mother and said you were pregnant with our Cao family's child. It's already done. Are you still afraid of your mother?" Cao Mo said with a smile.
"Tch, my mother is not stupid, you are pregnant." Cheng Xi glanced at Cao Mo and scolded with a smile.
"Why don't you come over? Cheng Xi, aren't you the bridesmaid for Zhou Shan today?" Only then did Zhou Bin notice Cheng Xi. Cao Mo didn't follow him, but turned around and stood on the steps waiting for them to go in together.
Cao Mo and Cheng Xi could only follow them towards the villa building; Yang Lifang stood aside and winked frequently, asking Cao Mo to go in without saying anything.
The living room is very spacious. At this time, the bride and groom have changed into traditional wedding clothes. The groom's parents have also sat in the center of the living room and are about to drink tea and give money for the correction. Many relatives and friends of the Lin family are gathered around to watch the fun; there are also several
The senior executives of Xinlian Bank were also standing in the living room. Zhou Bin introduced Cao Mo to them enthusiastically:
"Cheng Xi's boyfriend Cao Mo is very promising and is investing in Africa - Zhou Shan married Lin Fang today, and Cheng Xi has a boyfriend again. How many boys in our head office must be heartbroken today? Haha...
"
For Cheng Xi's work, Yang Lifang and Cheng Zhengjie have met most of the senior executives of Xinlian Bank, and have a closer relationship with Zhou Bin and Cheng Xi's direct boss, Chen Tianxin of the International Department.
The more Zhou Bin enthusiastically recommended Cao Mo to his colleagues, the more Yang Lifang regretted that she had spoken too loudly just now. She watched with concern as Cao Mo, led by Zhou Bin, greeted the senior officials of Xinlian Bank one by one, fearing that he would say anything
The words were lost.
"Zhou Shan, didn't you just say that Cheng Xi's boyfriend is an ordinary employee of Dongsheng Overseas Department? He didn't even graduate from high school. How come within two hours, he turned around and became an overseas investor? How awesome is that?
Is it too much?"
Even though some people thought that Cao Mo was telling lies at a young age, they would not point it out, but there were also people who did not show any mercy.
Cao Mo looked over in shock and saw a young man about thirty years old pretending to talk to Zhou Shan, but in fact he was sarcastic and sarcastic towards him with great disdain. His voice was deliberately loud: "Yes, you don't need to guess to know that he is pursuing success."
The hopeless lost one.
There are several suitors for Cheng Xi in the head office, and Tian Minghua is one of them.
Although Tian Minghua did not attend the wedding at the bride's house at noon, he expected that Cheng Xi, who was the bridesmaid, would accompany Zhou Shan to the Lin family mansion. At the same time, in order to get close to the senior management of the head office, he rushed to the Lin family mansion in the afternoon to join in the fun.
He had just seen Cheng Xi walking into the yard holding the hand of a young man, and he was filled with jealousy. Of course, he asked Zhou Shan to find out the details of this guy who wanted to steal love.
Yu Jing said that Cao Mo was developing very well in Africa, but Zhou Shan didn't believe it at all. She thought that Cao Mo was just an ordinary employee of Dongsheng Overseas Department who hadn't graduated from high school yet. Today, she and other classmates secretly joined Cheng Cheng.
Hope feels worthless.
Tian Minghua asked her privately, and she told her what she thought was the "truth" - of course, she also kindly concealed the fact that Cao Mo had injured someone and was detained by the police and almost sentenced. All their classmates knew these things -
- How could she have thought that Tian Minghua would not be able to suppress the jealousy in his heart, and would actually stand up and slap Cao Mo in the face at this time, exposing Cao Mo's "cowardice"?
The scene was very embarrassing, and Zhou Shan was also embarrassed. Of course she would not admit that she had said these words, and she denied it in a low voice: "Manager Tian, what are you talking nonsense about? How could I tell you this?"
In fact, when several senior executives of Xinlian Bank, including Lin Yunshan, the father of the groom Lin Fang, heard Zhou Bin introduce Cao Mo to be an excellent investor in Africa, few of them took it seriously; when Tian Minghua was trying to disrupt things at this time, few people took him seriously.
