Chapter 232 What type of person does Xiao Cheng like?
Xiao Cheng immediately explained, "I went to France a few days ago to attend the bilateral cooperation and consultation financial development meeting. I went for a stroll along the way and happened to meet Xiao Xi."
What a coincidence! Su Yihui smiled.
Jing Xiuyuan looked at Xiao Cheng, then at his daughter, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.
If Xiao Xi could divorce Huo Yunzheng, Xiao Cheng could be said to be a good match.
They had been very optimistic about this child from the beginning. If Xiaoxi had not been married when she was recognized, they might have already brought the two together.
However, Xiaoxi is not single now. Even if she leaves the Huo family in the future, she has to ask her children's opinions.
After all, love is something that cannot be forced, just let it take its course.
But if Xiao Cheng is interested, they would be very willing to accept this son-in-law.
The Xiao family is a clean family. Their family background and environment are much cleaner and simpler than that of the Huo family. Xiao Cheng was raised by them and they know him well. He is someone they can trust.
The more Jing Xiuyuan looked at Xiao Cheng, the more satisfied he became, and along with that, he was full of opinions about Huo Yunzheng.
"Xiao Xi, school is about to start, right?" Xiao Cheng asked.
Qiao Chuchu nodded and said that there was still more than half a month.
"Has there been any response from Professor Feng?"
Xiao Cheng seemed to be very concerned about her academic problems, but he did not deliberately pry into her. He just hoped that she could realize her wish and do research under her favorite mentor. Maybe she could really achieve some academic accomplishments.
Qiao Chuchu shook her head. "Not yet. It's still as mentioned in the last email. The interview should be held after the school starts. I have finished reading the book you gave me. It helps me a lot. Thank you, Brother Xiao Cheng."
Seeing the two people chatting enthusiastically, Jing Xiuyuan's eyes were filled with joy. He liked Xiao Cheng very much. He immediately asked the nanny at home to prepare dinner and insisted that Xiao Cheng stay.
Old Master Jing also thought so and took the initiative to speak, "Ah Cheng, don't be so formal. Stay for dinner today. After dinner, we can play two more games of chess."
Without giving Xiao Cheng a chance to refuse, Su Yihui immediately stood up and said that she would cook the fish she bought today.
"Xiao Xi, your brother Xiao Cheng still doesn't have a girlfriend." Jing Xiuyuan wanted to find out his daughter's thoughts.
Qiao Chuchu, however, looked confused and did not understand the hidden meaning in her father's words.
In her opinion, it is normal for someone like Xiao Cheng not to have a romantic relationship. It goes without saying that he has reached his current position at such a young age and that most of his energy and time should be devoted to work.
Qiao Chuchu half-jokingly said, "I don't have any suitable single girls around me right now, otherwise I would definitely introduce them to Brother Xiao Cheng."
The corner of Jing Xiuyuan's mouth twitched slightly. His silly girl.
"What type does Brother Xiao Cheng like?" Qiao Chuchu asked casually, treating it as just a casual chat.
Xiao Cheng smiled and said directly without any hesitation: "Long hair, loves to laugh, has beautiful eyes, and likes to read."
Qiao Chuchu nodded, as if thinking.
Xiao Cheng glanced at her again and changed the topic in time, chatting with the Jing family about health preservation, asking Grandpa Jing to have regular physical examinations and use some mild tonic ingredients on a daily basis.
While talking, he always glanced at Qiao Chuchu intentionally or unintentionally, with a hint of smile in his eyes.
But the silly girl was so busy replying to work messages on her phone that she didn't notice it at all.
……
Inside a coffee shop in Beijing.
Qin Muyuan sat on the soft sofa, looking towards the door from time to time.
He got Han Man's current contact information, sent her a message, and asked her to meet him today.
The second brother was right, he couldn't do anything that would make him regret.
"This way, Miss."
Along with the waiter's voice, Qin Muyuan saw the person he had been thinking about day and night for some time.
She was wearing a light green square-neck dress, and her jet-black hair was tied behind her head with a beige headband, making her look gentle.
But there was obvious fatigue in her eyes.
She looks tired.
Qin Muyuan smiled and asked, "What would you like to drink? Coffee or juice? They also have tea in this store."
Han Man sat down and looked at the man in front of her, wondering why he asked her out.
"Latte, no sugar, please."
After telling the waiter what she wanted, Han Man turned around again and looked at Qin Muyuan.
"I didn't expect you to ask me out."
Her frankness made Qin Muyuan feel a little uneasy. He had not yet told her that he already knew what she had been through over the years, and he was afraid that it would hurt her self-esteem.
The coffee was quickly prepared and served.
"Just say what you want to say. Don't beat around the bush."
Qin Muyuan pursed his lips, looked at her face, and tried his best to make his tone sound respectful enough to her.
"I know about your family's affairs, and I also understand why you married Ding Kang."
Han Man sneered and showed a self-deprecating expression.
"Are you investigating me?"
Qin Muyuan quickly explained, "I just want to help you. That Ding Kang is not a good person."
Han Man picked up the coffee in front of her and took a sip. "Of course I know that he is not a good person."
If she didn't have a secret, why would she give herself to a man who was old enough for her to call uncle?
"My family owes him money. If I don't marry him, he will kill our whole family."
Han Man's eyes revealed a strong hatred, "My parents... they are dead and gone."
She didn't say this out of anger. She hated herself, her family, and even more her biological parents.
If it weren't for them, she wouldn't have ended up like this.
She wouldn't shed a single tear if they died.
"But my brother is innocent. He has good grades and no bad habits. He is still studying and has a bright future ahead of him. I can't watch him get ruined."
What Han Man said was true. His younger brother was studying at a key university, majoring in engineering. His grades in his major were among the best, and he was also a backbone of the student union.
Qin Muyuan understood all of this clearly.
"You investigated me and asked me to meet you. Do you want to help me?" Han Man saw through his intention.
Qin Muyuan was silent for two seconds and did not deny it.
Han Man smiled, her eyes curved into a beautiful arc, but she refused.
"Everyone has his own destiny. I don't need your help. You helped me, but I don't have the ability to repay you."
Qin Muyuan immediately replied, "I don't need anything in return."
"There is no free lunch in the world. I understand this truth." Han Man supported her chin with her hand, looking like she had seen through the world.
"You like me, don't you?"
Not a question, but an affirmation.
Qin Muyuan was slightly stunned, but still did not deny it.
Han Man looked at him and her thoughts drifted back to her college days.
She always remembered him.
However, the two of them were not suitable.
"If it was in the past, when I hadn't married Ding Kang yet, and you said you wanted to help me, I might have accepted it. But now, I'm sorry, I don't need it, because I can't repay you for this favor."
