Chapter 408: Chapter 245: The Young Sister-in-Law_2

"That one called Luo something, from your city investment company, the general manager," Nie Feng bluntly said. "He wanted to invite Mr. Chen for dinner, but when he saw me in the car, he left."

Cao Yue looked at Chen Cheng, and Chen Cheng explained, "Brother, it’s a long story."

Chen Cheng recounted all the previous arrangements to Cao Yue, and also vividly told the story of his overnight escape from Kaiyang.

Cao Yue also understood what a white glove meant, but he didn’t expect his own man to be so reckless.

He sighed deeply, "Ah, such an investment environment is tough!"

"However tough, is it tougher than kneading dough? Look at all the flour on you."

Nie Feng was very insightful; she walked to Cao Yue, took off the apron he was wearing, "Leave the tough problems in the bowl to me."

Saying so, she called Meng Wanning, "Xiao Meng, let’s do it together."

Meng Wanning looked at Chen Cheng, who nodded.

The two women entered the kitchen, and Chen Cheng followed Cao Yue to the balcony.

Cao Yue pointed at a chair, then took out a cigarette, offering one to Chen Cheng.

"With such matters happening, why didn’t you tell me?" Cao Yue lit his cigarette.

Chen Cheng looked helpless, "Brother, I’m unfamiliar with life here, it’s not easy for me to speak up."

"Moreover, no matter what, Luo Ziyang is still one of your men... If I had spoken up, wouldn’t that rip apart both face and heart?"

Chen Cheng also lit a cigarette, "I just didn’t expect him to be so crazy."

He glanced at Cao Yue’s expression, "That my sister-in-law was frightened, was really my lack of consideration."

Cao Yue waved his hand, "This is not your fault."

He flicked his cigarette ash, looking into the distance, "I will handle this matter."

Cao Yue then turned his gaze back to Chen Cheng, "Xiao Chen, I hope that this little episode won’t spoil the deal we agreed upon."

"Brother, public is public, private is private."

Chen Cheng paused, then added with a smile, "Besides, this incident has let me see people’s true nature clearly, it’s a lesson worth learning!"

"I still say the same, tomorrow, 20 million, definitely in the account," Chen Cheng reaffirmed his promise.

Cao Yue looked at Chen Cheng with satisfaction, knowing that Chen Cheng was a clever person, penetrating through with little hint.

"It’s good that you understand." Cao Yue patted Chen Cheng’s shoulder, "Shall we drink a bit later?"

"No problem," Chen Cheng readily agreed, "but, my drinking isn’t great, if I can’t keep up with Brother, don’t take it to heart."

"When the two of us brothers drink, it’s all for fun, no need for particularity."

Cao Yue too laughed heartily, "Later let your sister-in-law warm up some liquor, in this weather, it has to be dumplings with liquor."

"The more we drink, the merrier," Chen Cheng joined in the conversation.

At this moment, laughter and cheerful voices came from the kitchen, breaking the solemn atmosphere on the balcony.

The two extinguished their half-smoked cigarettes and walked over.

"What are you talking about? You’re laughing so happily." Cao Yue walked over to Nie Feng.

"Xiao Meng was just telling me about her romantic experiences with Mr. Chen."

Nie Feng was kneading dough, and she smiled looking at Chen Cheng and Meng Wanning, "I thought it was Mr. Chen who pursued Xiao Meng, but it turns out I had it backward."

"Sister Feng..."

Cao Yue also laughed, half-jokingly said, "Xiao Chen, you’re quite fortunate! Such a good girl chasing you?"

Chen Cheng also joined in the joke appropriately, "I have a bit of personal charm."

"Hahaha..."

Meng Wanning shyly hit Chen Cheng’s arm, coquettishly said, "Sister Feng, don’t listen to his nonsense, it’s not like what he says."

Nie Feng saw through but did not say, only smiling and said, "Alright, alright, I’ll stop talking."

Cao Yue jokingly said on the side, "Xiao Chen, not to say, but your skin is too thin, you should learn from me, back when I was pursuing your sister-in-law..."

"What happened back when you were pursuing me?"

Nie Feng raised her eyebrows, looking at Cao Yue with a teasing smile.

Cao Yue suddenly choked, coughed twice, and quickly changed the subject, "That... Is the dumpling filling ready? I’ll do the wrapping."

"No need, you two men just go relax outside. We’ve got this covered here," Nie Feng said, and pushed Cao Yue out of the kitchen.

Cao Yue helplessly shook his head, turned to Chen Cheng and made a gesture, meaning: "See, your sister-in-law is tough!"

Chen Cheng smiled and walked out.

In the kitchen, Nie Feng was wrapping dumplings while chatting with Meng Wanning, mostly asking home-style questions, filled with care.

Although Meng Wanning was quiet by nature, she was not timid, and she talked very happily with Nie Feng, quickly overcoming the awkwardness of the first meeting.

...

...

At night, steaming hot dumplings were served on the table.

Nie Feng helped Cao Yue and Chen Cheng heat a bottle of Wuliangye, and both poured a glass each.

"Come on, Xiao Chen, Xiao Meng."

Cao Yue raised his glass, "We, too, are fated, to meet in Kaiyang far from Beijing..."

Nie Feng and Meng Wanning also held up their juice.

"Alright, Lao Cao, we’re all family here. No need for formalities."

"See, your sister-in-law, she speaks straightforwardly," Cao Yue said with a broad smile, "Okay then, let’s start with this glass, and keep in touch no matter where we are in the future."

"Sure, keep in touch!"

Chen Cheng and Meng Wanning raised their glasses, clinked with Cao Yue and his wife, and downed in one gulp.

"Xiao Chen, do you do this business exclusively in Beijing?" Nie Feng asked.

Chen Cheng had just picked up his chopsticks, then set them down, "Actually, I run a restaurant in Beijing, and recently opened a milk tea shop."

"This trip is because Mr. Jin wasn’t feeling well, he entrusted me to handle this matter."

Nie Feng curiously asked, "A restaurant? Where is it located?"
