Chapter 26 You Dare Cheat Me?
Chapter 26 You Dare Cheat Me?
Ling Tianyi was afraid that Xia Xiaoluo would mess it up when asked by his mother, he started the introduction first, “Xiaoluo is the daughter of Xia Youfeng, the boss of Youfeng Real Estate Company. Although the company is not a big one, it has a good fame these years without any violation of law. Xiaoluo is his second daughter. She’s eighteen years old, and she’s very nice and healthy with a good look. She’s unlike those misses who’s got a bad temper.”
“Good!” Ling Desheng was satisfied with his son’s introduction. Although in his heart, Xia Xiaoluo couldn’t be compared to Shen Jiani, and Youfeng Real Estate was not comparable to Shen’s Group, this girl was still pleasing to the eye.
“Xiaoluo, come and take a bottle of juice. Is the outside hot?” He Meishu entertained her warmly.
“It’s hot, but much cool inside.” Xia Xiaoluo was very gentle with a smile, and He Meishu felt comfortable at her look. She could never know, the girl who looked dignified and well-mannered was actually a crazy girl in the back.
He Meishu exchanged a glance with Ling Desheng and slowly said, “My boy, Xiaoluo is only 18 years old. I’m afraid that she can’t get a marriage certificate in this age. But it doesn’t matter. Let’s hold a wedding feast first. Two years later, when Xiaoluo is twenty, you go to get the certificate then.”
“I’ve planned it well, Mum. After she get her passport, I’ll take her to the America and register for our marriage. There’s no such a restriction to the age. We’ll have a vacation by the way, enjoying ourselves.” Saying this, he looked at the petite woman by his side affectionately. He must perform he loved her so much that his parents could believe him this was for his true love, not benefits.
“Okay, take your time. If there is a matter in the company, hand it over to your father. You two should work hard and bring me back a grandson after your honeymoon.” He Meishu said with her eyes lighting up, and an image of a healthy and active kid came up into her mind.
Xia Xiaoluo’s face blushed: how could she make it so straightforward? However, she did not want to give birth to the baby of this man, because she merely agreed to marry him, not to have a baby!
He Meishu saw that Xia Xiaoluo was embarrassed, so she didn’t entangle this problem and naturally changed the topic, “Xiaoluo, are you still going to school? Which school?”
Xia Xiaolu was at a loss. When she graduated from high school, she did not intend to continue to go to college, and she had no money for it. Ling Tianyi had already considered it, so he said leisurely, “She just graduated from high school this year and is about to marry me. I don’t think the ordinary university is suitable for her and arranged her to go to Dwichen’s College and learn Chinese major. As the saying goes, if one is well-educated, he will scintillate with it. I don’t expect her to be a scholar, just hoping she can read more classical poetry and foreign classics, and cultivate her taste.”
“This is a good idea. You graduated from Dwichen’s College, and we are the biggest shareholder of that school. If Xiaoluo is pregnant, it’s easy for us to ask a temporary absence for her through a phone call.” He Meishu wanted a grandson so much that she came back after a few words, and Xia Xiaoluo felt embarrassed all of a sudden.
“When are you going to the United States? Will we hold the wedding feast in Jiangzhou before you leave for the registration or after?” He Meishu was very concerned about her son’s marriage, and her smile has never disappeared
“I plan to go to the America first and have a honeymoon trip. Xiaoluo is young, and she’s a student. It is not suitable for her to attend a big feast. We’d better hold the feast when Xiaoluo is a little older.” Ling Tianyi said, and he would absolutely not to let the outside know his marriage. Just as he said before, he only liked the body of this small woman, and he didn’t love her at all. Since it was possible to divorce at any time, there was no need for them to make this marriage too big.
“Mischief! How can we hold no feast when you get married?” Ling Desheng was a little bit angry. In the past few years, he saw his old friends’ children getting married, and he hoped to give his son and daughter-in-law a grand wedding ceremony in the future, never thinking his son would want to have a honeymoon trip.
Ling Desheng resolutely opposed his son’s honeymoon trip, and so did He Meishu.
The most important purpose of Ling Tianyi’s marriage was to obtain inheritance rights. Although he admitted he was obsessed with the body of the little girl, he knew that this was not love. A marriage without love was bound to fail. Since the divorce was doomed, the marriage must be kept in a low profile, so that it would not become the headline of newspapers and magazines when they were divorced.
Ling Tianyi couldn’t directly confront his parents, so he simply found a reason. Youfeng Group was too small now, and it would take them a year or two to support it getting stronger. When the strength of Youfeng Real Estate got better, they would hold the wedding ceremony officially, and both of the two families would have a face.
Ling Tianyi’s statement was useful, for Ling Desheng had always been paying great attention to his face. Ling Desheng recognized his idea, but his son must not blindly help Youfeng Real Estate. Only when there were profits, could they talk about cooperation and support.
As for He Meishu, Ling Tianyi only need to ensure that even if he would not hold the feast, he would not delay the birth of her grandson. He Meishu would have nothing to say, for her grandson was the first in her mind.
Xia Xiaoluo had her dinner very carefully. It was a tiring day, so she was already hungry, but she could only taste the dishes near her, simply taking a little. She dared not gorge, for fear of being inelegant.
After dinner, Xia Xiaoluo remembered that Ling Tianyi had asked her to go to the kitchen to give a hand, so she went to clear up with the servants.
Ling Tianyi raised his eyebrows and looked at her, and she finished her duty quickly. He Meishu immediately and politely invited Xia Xiaoluo to watch TV. Xia Xiaoluo unconsciously glanced at Ling Tianyi, which made him have a sense of achievement. “Okay, sit down with my parents. We have servants to do these jobs.”
Xia Xiaoluo followed He Meishu went to sit in the couch blankly. Ling Desheng was watching the news. Although the two women did not care about the national events, they could only watch together with him.
Ling Tianyi returned to his room and took something, and he left with Xia Xiaoluo. It had been at least seven or eight years that Ling Tianyi did not spend one night with his parents at home.
“Girl, except the 90-degree bow in the beginning, which was too exaggerated, other performances are not bad. I have been worried that you would have a big fall in high heels, but you were reliable expectedly.” Ling Tianyi praised the little girl while driving.
“Today’s overall performance just passed, so what rewards do you want?” Ling Tianyi was in a very good mood at that time, as long as her requirements were reasonable, he will meet her needs.
“Treat me with a big meal.” Xia Xiaoluo blurt out and covered her growling belly, and then added, “You said that I’m not allowed to eat much, otherwise it will not be elegant, but I am starving now.”
“What do you want to eat?” Ling Tianyi asked.
“A bowl of Malatang, ten grilled meat, and a bottle of Coke.” Xia Xiaoluo wanted them with a greedy drooling.
Ling Tianyi stunned at that and immediately turned the car around. “No junk food. If you like snacks, I’ll take you to the food court where the snacks are clean and the environment is good.”
Xia Xiaoluo didn’t object, and she knew that there was no stance for her to say no. Anyway, she was so hungry, and she was never a picky eater—it would be fine to have something to eat, except stinky tofu.
Soon, Xia Xiaoluo sat in the private dining room of the restaurant. The decoration was luxurious, and it was apparently a high-end place. The snacks came one by one, all of which were delicate, and the roadside stall foods were not comparable with them.
Xia Xiaoluo didn’t perform as a lady any more, but began to gorge with a bad table manner. Ling Tianyi sighed that fortunately his parents did not see this scene, otherwise this marriage would not come through.
“Why don’t you eat? This shrimp dumpling tastes good. Give it a try.” Xia Xiaoluo waved her small oily hands in front of Ling Tianyi.
Ling Tianyi sat next to Xia Xiaoluo, but he didn’t eat anything. Hearing her invitation, he couldn’t help but frown, but looking at her excitement, he finally grabbed a bite.
“My secretary has already got your household register, and you can reapply your ID card tomorrow. I believe the passport will be available soon.” Ling Tianyi said. Xia Xiaoluo thought about it and replied, “Actually, I didn’t lose my ID card.”
“You...you dare to lie to me?” Ling Tianyi was annoyed, and suddenly caught Xia Xiaoluo’s wrist, and the chopsticks fell instantly.
“I didn’t mean it. I didn’t want to marry you at the time so I lie to you. Now I know I can’t escape, so...” Xia Xiaoluo’s voice was getting lower, and in the end he could hardly hear what she said. After all, Ling Tianyi was angry, and she was still a little scared.
“Give me your ID card.” Ling Tianyi issued his orders, and the tone was unquestionable.
“I couldn’t afford the rent before, and my ID card and mobile phone were pledged to the landlord.” Xia Xiaoluo whispered with a look of grievances.
Ling Tianyi felt very angry that how could she give the ID card to someone else, and why was this clumsy girl so lacking of minds? How could he, the presidential Huasheng Group find such a silly wife? He finally made up his mind that if he met a better one in the future, he would change his wife immediately.
“Haven’t you done?” Ling Tianyi asked angrily. Xia Xiaoluo nodded and shook his head., so Ling Tianyi was not clear. “I’m asking you questions.”
“I’m full, but not stuffed.” Xia Xiaoluo finished her expression with a little bit of embarrassment.
“If you are full, that’s enough! Why don’t you take the ID card back with me?” Ling Tianyi was very sensitive to such documents. His documents were also kept very well, for fear someone would take advantages of them; the little girl just handed over the identity card to the others—she was really dim-witted.
Xia Xiaoluo saw his frown and cold face, and did not dare to mention to eat anything else. All she could do was to find the landlord with Ling Tianyi.
The landlord was a man who lived money so much that he could do anything for it. Ling Tianyi threw him a was of bills, and he immediately gave her ID card and mobile phone to Xia Xiaoluo, and said a lot of polite words.
The landlord left. Xia Xiaoluo still wouldn’t want to leave her small crude room.
“Won’t leave? You want to sprout and bloom here?” Ling Tianyi roared.
“May I pack things up?” Xia Xiaoluo cautiously asked.
Ling Tianyi looked around Xia Xiaoluo’s small crude room and couldn’t help but frown, “Just throw away all your garbages.
Xia Xiaoluo was also a short-tempered person. Hearing that her things were rubbish, she immediately became angry. “Why do you say that my things are garbage? I want to keep them. If you don’t allow me to take my things, I won’t go with you. Humph, even if my stuff is garbage, I’ll live and die with them.”
