"Mom, what about him?" Ke Jianhua did not try to be intimate with him as he had imagined, but was actually colder. Even his father could not be bothered to call him that, but actually called him that?
"He has something to do. He should be back soon." With that, he turned to Li Mengmeng and asked with a slight smile, "Your name is Li Mengmeng, right?"
Li Mengmeng immediately smiled and said, "Yes, CEO Madam, I am." She was surprised that the CEO knew her name.
And at this time, Ke Jianhua purposely whispered in his ear, "Gossip."
Ah? Gossip? As if he had just awoken from a dream, it was no wonder that the CEO's wife knew his name. If he did not say it, perhaps he would have forgotten about it. Thinking about that, Li Mengmeng's smile froze, and he glared at Ke Jianhua, his teeth clenching, "You …"
Therefore, he didn't bring her here because he was in the mood, but because someone wanted to denounce her.
If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have come.
Seeing Li Mengmeng's extremely nervous and worried expression, Ke Jianhua immediately shook Li Mengmeng's somewhat sweaty hand, "Don't worry, the sky is about to set, there's me."
Li Mengmeng was simply too speechless. Even if he was here, she was afraid. If the old CEO and Mistress were to seduce Ke Jianhua due to the rumours, wouldn't she have to say goodbye to the company?
When their gazes landed on Luo Zhenhan who was holding onto the two of them, Li Mengmeng immediately shook him off.
Seeing that the two of them were extremely close, Luo Zhenhan frowned, a look of astonishment flashing across her face, but she immediately smiled gently, "Please take a seat."
Just as he sat down, a noise came from outside the door, and a person walked in front of them. Luo Zhenhan immediately stood up and walked over, "Why did you come back so late?"
"I'm playing chess with Old Li. I'm so happy that I've overdone it." Ke Xingye explained.
Li Mengmeng turned her head to see the motionless Ke Jianhua, and pushed him a bit. Ke Jianhua looked at her and stood up indifferently.
Li Mengmeng thought about how terrible their relationship must be, and she also thought that Ke Jianhua couldn't even be bothered to call him father. As for calling him father, Li Mengmeng felt that it was very difficult to understand.
Ke Xingye turned his head around, and saw that there were two other people standing in the room.
Especially when she looked at Ke Jianhua, she seemed to be very fierce, and her nose even coldly snorted. When his gaze fell on Li Mengmeng, it was mostly sharp and appraising. Although he was not very angry, he looked even more imposing.
Li Mengmeng could not help but lower her head and flinch. Just as she was about to open her mouth to say something, she heard the imposing voice saying, "It's just a target of rumors, do you need to bring it home? Do you think our house is not crowded enough? "
When Li Mengmeng heard this, he really wanted to find a hole to hide in. Her face alternated between red and white.
She knew that her reputation was not great and she looked weak. It was as if she was intentionally trying to seduce Ke Jianhua to get the upper hand.
She wanted to open her mouth to explain, but before she could finish, she heard Luo Zhenhan say in disagreement, "Xing Ye, no need to speak like that, I was the one who asked Jian Hua to bring this girl back. "It's not like you understand Jian Hua's personality. After so many years, this is still the first time that I've been on the entertainment headlines. You have to put it this way. Back then, I …"
Seeing that Luo Zhenhan was protecting him, Ke Xingye was immediately displeased. With a loud voice, he said, "You're not working properly, why is the CEO of a business group making fun of the news? It's not like you're a playboy."
"Ke Xingye," Luo Zhenhan saw that he was getting more and more outrageous, so she called out with her surname, "Jianhua came back to eat, stop nagging."
"Alright, since someone doesn't welcome us, let's go out and eat." After Ke Jianhua finished, he led Li Mengmeng out. Her stubborn temper appeared again.
"If you have the guts, then never come back." Ke Xingye had already sat down, but upon hearing this, he became so angry that his hands shook the table, causing his chopsticks to tremble. Li Mengmeng had originally been led a few steps, but when she heard the noise, he stopped in her tracks.
"Jianhua, sister-in-law Zhang worked hard to cook a table of good dishes. You can leave after you've finished eating. Don't let down the kindness of others." Luo Zhenhan immediately said.
"This dish must be delicious." Li Mengmeng also took the chance to lean close to Ke Jianhua's side to persuade him, and was even giving him meaningful glances.
"If you have something to say, then say it out in the open. Don't whisper." Ke Xingye suddenly could not bear to see the intimate relationship between the two of them, so he growled.
Ke Jianhua originally wanted to return, but hearing that, he immediately stopped, and upon seeing this, Luo Zhenhan quickly said softly, "You made the rules."
Ke Xingye groaned, and did not speak anymore.
Li Mengmeng quickly dragged Ke Jianhua and continued to walk back. To be kind to others meant to be kind to others. To be against the old CEO, was there still a need for her, a little shrimp, to live?
The atmosphere at the dining table was very solemn, with a large round table, but there were only four people. It was especially empty, just like a person's mood. There was no sound, no trace of warmth, and it was extremely depressing. Li Mengmeng didn't even dare to take a deep breath as she sat there stiffly. She only occasionally picked up the dishes that were closest to him. Ke Jianhua, on the other hand, was extremely at ease as he stuffed large chunks of meat into his mouth and ate heartily, not caring at all about the surrounding cold air, as if he was enjoying the cold atmosphere.
Maybe because he felt Li Mengmeng's uneasiness, Ke Jianhua grabbed onto his chopsticks and placed it into Li Mengmeng's bowl, using his hands to lightly pat her left leg, to give her some strength and comfort.
Li Mengmeng was so shocked that she almost stood up, but she realized that Ke Xingye and Luo Zhenhan did not seem to notice and subconsciously heaved a sigh of relief. She must have offended that vicious god, for her to suffer this kind of punishment.
However, Ke Jianhua didn't know what was going on and continued to scoop food into her bowl. Li Mengmeng was so scared that she almost died, and from time to time, she would peek at the two people in front of him. Seeing Ke Xingye glare at her in displeasure, Li Mengmeng was so scared that her face turned ashen, her heart trembled uncontrollably for half a beat.
She didn't want to be fired for no reason. However, Ke Jianhua didn't seem to be understanding. Sigh, a person who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and was born with a silver spoon in his mouth was someone else in a completely different world.
She had heard that Ke Xingye's business skills were strong, that he could do things quickly and without any complaints, causing employees to not dare to make mistakes. Only after it was Ke Jianhua who did it did she improve a little. Yes, that's right.
But now it seemed that it was all right. It was even scarier than the rumors. Li Mengmeng ate a meal as if she was on a killing field. She was always worried that her brain would be smashed.
"You have to act like you're eating." With a dignified roar, Li Mengmeng immediately straightened her body, sat back down respectfully with her head held high, while Ke Jianhua continued to leisurely eat her food in an extremely disdainful manner.
Seeing that, Ke Xingye raised his eyebrows, he wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Luo Zhenhan.
The meal was finally over. Li Mengmeng suddenly felt weak, but she didn't dare to relax the slightest bit. She really did not think that eating a meal could make her tired. It seemed like rich people were really different.
Luo Zhenhan supported Ke Xingye and sat on the sofa, while Ke Jianhua led Li Mengmeng and walked in front of them.
Ke Xingye looked at the two standing side by side, his brows furrowed, as he held onto his blue and white porcelain teacup, as though he wanted to smash it onto them.
Luo Zhenhan also seemed to have noticed something as she firmly hugged onto Ke Xingye's arm.
Li Mengmeng, on the other hand, was sweating profusely. She was really worried that Ke Xingye would accidentally smash the teacup on his own face, and thus he couldn't help but shrink back from Ke Jianhua.
"I'm just here to tell you all that Li Mengmeng is now your family's daughter-in-law. Don't walk out of the house without knowing your daughter-in-law. " However, Ke Jianhua opened his mouth as if nothing had happened, adding fuel to the fire.
A daughter-in-law?
Li Mengmeng's mind went numb, as she stared at Ke Jianhua as if she had seen a ghost, while Ke Jianhua dragged her and moved two steps to the side.
"Pa Da", the blue and white flower teacup that he expected shattered on the ground, the heat from the tea leaves were still floating in the surroundings, and there was nothing in Ke Xingye's hand.
Fortunately Ke Jianhua had dragged her away, otherwise, who would be able to handle such hot water?
Luo Zhenhan was so frightened that her beautiful face lost color, seeing that the two children were alright, she heaved a sigh of relief and asked unhappily: "What are you going to do with injuring the children like this?"
"What kind of unfilial son is he? Is this how you talk to your father? I'm going to die from anger … " Although these words were spoken to Luo Zhenhan, the person speaking was actually looking at him.
Isn't this the same as you were? It was carved out of a mold.
Of course, Luo Zhenhan held back and did not say it out loud. Instead, she said gently, "As youngsters, let's not bother with him."
Then, he turned to look at Ke Jianhua and said, "Jianhua, if you have something to say, say it nicely.
However, Ke Jianhua dragged Li Mengmeng and walked out, talking as he walked, "If there's nothing else, we'll be taking our leave first."
"Scram, the further the better. Never let me see you again." Seeing that his son was not only unwilling to give in to his, but even wanting to leave, Ke Xingye suddenly became extremely furious, and his face darkened like that of Mr Bao.
Luo Zhenhan was also confused, she had a headache, she had wanted to call her son back to let the two of them eat, to warm up their relationship, but she never thought that they would become more stiff. Was this father and son pair really born out of enmity?
After settling down Ke Xingye, Luo Zhenhan went to chase after his son. Ke Jianhua stopped in his tracks and told Li Mengmeng to wait for him in the carriage.
Of course, Li Mengmeng understood why she had caught up with them. She knew what else they had to say, so she quickly got into the car. She thought that Ke Jianhua still owed him an explanation.
Why did he hear the word 'daughter-in-law' from his mouth?
Luo Zhenhan knew what Ke Jianhua was thinking, and she knew that her son did not want Li Mengmeng to hear their conversation.
"I went to see the Sun family's daughter two days ago. She was very pretty and dignified …" Luo Zhenhan passionately wanted his son to understand his intentions.
"Mom, don't you know me? When did I go back on my decision? " Ke Jianhua's calm voice interrupted his mother's words.
"Take care when you drive." While Luo Zhenhan felt sorry for his son, she also looked at Li Mengmeng who was in the car with slight dissatisfaction. She weakly sighed, and since she couldn't say anything in front of his son, she could only wave her hands.
