Start a gamble and enjoy a carefree life

"You're back so soon."

A woman in her forties glanced outside the courtyard and said calmly.

When she saw Zhang Yuan next to Ning Yuwei, her eyebrows frowned unconsciously.

Especially when she saw the two people holding hands tightly, there was a hint of mystery in her eyes.

After a while, she stood up, walked to Ning Yuwei and asked with a smile:

"Yuwei, who is this guy? Can't you introduce him to me?"

Ning Yuwei blushed and whispered: "He is Zhang Yuan, my... boyfriend, and he sent me back this time."

Zhang Yuan greeted politely: "Hello, Auntie."

However, Ning Yuwei's mother Ren Fangyan just nodded lightly, and then said to her daughter:

"It's a friend, then, since it's time for dinner, let's have a simple meal before leaving."

While speaking, Ren Fangyan took her hand and separated the two without leaving a trace.

Her eyes stayed on Zhang Yuan for only one second, and then she didn't look at him again.

"Mom! He is my boyfriend... not an ordinary friend!"

Ren Fangyan pulled her daughter aside and scolded in a low voice:

"What boyfriend or not, have you got my consent?"

"I have already arranged a marriage for you. It's a reliable family. Who allowed you to make a decision on your own?"

"Do you take my words as wind? Or do you think you have grown wings after studying in a big city for a few years?"

"Listen to mom, send him away after dinner!"

Ning Yuwei stamped her feet anxiously, her voice a little crying: "No! Then I will go too, wherever the senior goes, I will go!"

Ren Fangyan suppressed her anger and said:

"Why are you still the same as before, not listening at all?"

"In our place, whose children's marriage is not arranged by their parents. Since your father is gone, I will arrange your marriage. What is there to discuss?"

Ning Yuwei said firmly: "Mom, if you force it..."

"Yuwei."

At this time, Zhang Yuan spoke, and there was no emotion in his tone, "Let's go in first, it's hot outside."

Although the mother and daughter spoke in low voices, they did not escape Zhang Yuan's ears in this quiet courtyard.

Just based on these few words, he had already judged Ren Fangyan's character.

Typical old social thinking.

It's hard to get along with, stubborn and terrible.

Don't consider, and don't care about any of their children's ideas.

Ning Yuwei hasn't been home for two years. According to the normal reaction of a mother, she should be ecstatic.

But her expression was very flat, and she didn't intend to get up to greet him at first.

No matter how much you dislike Ning Yuwei, she is still your daughter.

Looking at the various eyes in the main hall.

Zhang Yuan is now very curious.

What kind of conditions did the so-called "reliable family" offer?

Ning Yuwei swallowed the words that were about to blurt out and followed Zhang Yuan into the house.

Sitting at the head of the round table was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties.

The man had short hair, a coffee-colored shirt and black trousers, and a golden watch on his wrist.

"Yuwei, why don't you call someone."

Ren Fangyan walked to the side of the man, "You should know Uncle Zhou."

Ning Yuwei was in a very bad mood at the moment, but she still managed to squeeze out a smile.

"Hello, Uncle Zhou."

She did know this Zhou Hongli, a celebrity in the neighboring Jinding Village.

One of the few entrepreneurs in Nanzhou County.

Their area is mountainous and forested, with a mild climate, which is extremely suitable for the growth of wild mushrooms.

Zhou Hongli discovered the business opportunity a long time ago and built an edible fungus production base in the county.

The size of the company is unknown, but it is rumored that his net worth has reached tens of millions.

"Yuwei, right? I saw you when you were in high school."

Zhou Hongli smiled, "Not bad, not bad. You have become more beautiful in just a few years. I am afraid it is difficult to find a more beautiful person in the whole county."

"Thank you for the compliment, Yuwei is ashamed."

Then Zhou Hongli said to a young man on his right: "Wenyan, how is it? This marriage did not disappoint you."

Zhou Wenyan could not look away after seeing Ning Yuwei for the first time.

His face flushed red, and he was so excited that his voice was trembling.

"No, no, I'm very satisfied!"

"Hahaha." Zhou Hongli laughed, "At first you refused to do it, and you didn't think that since it was arranged by your father, how could it be bad."

"Why are you standing there? Say hello to the girl."

"Oh."

Zhou Wenyan stood up with the help of the table and stretched out his hand to Ning Yuwei, "Hello."However...

Ning Yuwei turned a blind eye to the right hand that was stretched out to her, and did not respond a word.

She knew that her mother had arranged a date for her, but she did not expect that this person was Zhou Hongli's son.

She did not expect to see him on the first day she returned.

Zhou Wenyan was in his twenties, well-dressed, and decent looking. From his appearance, it was hard to have a bad impression on him.

But Ning Yuwei already had someone in her heart.

No matter how good this boy was, she was very repulsive in her heart.

The atmosphere was awkward for a while.

A young woman sitting below walked to Ning Yuwei with a smile and took her arm affectionately.

"My name is Zhou Wenyi. We are schoolmates."

Ning Yuwei turned her head in confusion, "What schoolmate?"

"County No. 1 Middle School, but I am two years older than you, so I guess you haven't heard of me."

Ning Yuwei nodded, as a greeting.

Zhou Wenyi then said, "Brother, do you think this is a contract? How can you shake a girl's hand when you first meet her?"

"If a stranger asks me to shake hands, I won't pay attention."

Zhou Wenyan awkwardly retracted his hand and smiled awkwardly, "That's true."

"Yuwei, let's sit down and talk about the past school." Zhou Wenyi looked familiar and pushed Ning Yuwei to sit on the chair.

"Senior."

Ning Yuwei naturally would not forget Zhang Yuan, and also pulled him to sit next to her.

In the following time, Zhou Hongli talked with a smile, and talked with Ren Fangyan about what would happen after they became in-laws.

And his two children looked at Zhang Yuan from time to time, with undisguised hostility in their eyes.

Just now in the yard, Zhang Yuan and Ning Yuwei held hands.

The people present must have seen it, but they all forbearingly did not mention it.

Zhang Yuan took it easy, eating and drinking as usual, not treating himself as an outsider at all, looking very relaxed.

In his eyes, a boss with a net worth of tens of millions is nothing.

He didn't care about the Hongmen Banquet of this scale at all.

If the negotiation is successful, then negotiate.

If the negotiation is not successful, then turn the table over, what's there to be afraid of?
