After saying goodbye to Qin Hean and Old Xu, Mingchuan and Leng Xi did not choose to rest in the restaurant where the auction banquet was held, but returned home.

Leng Xi put down the bag in her hand and looked at Mingchuan puzzledly.

This guy usually looks cynical and funny, always likes to open his mouth and make ridiculous jokes to her.

Why do you look so gloomy today?

Watching Mingchuan walk to the sofa and sit down, Leng Xi asked quietly, "You didn't eat anything at the banquet just now. How about I cook some noodles for you?"

Mingchuan smiled and tilted his head to look at her: "Oh, Miss, are you addicted to cooking noodles? Could it be that you don't plan to go to the company anymore and plan to be a full-time wife at home?"

"But it's not impossible. I can still easily control you, a small Leng family member."

Leng Xi slapped him on the shoulder and said, "That's ridiculous! I just noticed that you weren't in the right state today! I'm asking you this because you made me shine in front of everyone today."

Mingchuan squinted his eyes and smiled twice, then leaned lazily towards the sofa.

"No, I'm not hungry."

Leng Xi took the opportunity to sit next to him and asked, "Why, are you upset because of what Cui Chenhui said today?"

Mingchuan raised his eyebrows and looked at her.

He always felt that this woman must have her own unique opinions.

After all, how stupid can someone who can sit in the position of chairman of Leng Group be?

"That Cui Chenhui did go too far. Using that method to test your strength without regard for the safety of other guests is very extreme."

"I don't think he's telling the truth about the kids he mentioned. If you want to help him, you should think twice and don't let him cheat you."

Mingchuan looked at her serious expression and said with a smile, "Are you concerned about me?"

Leng Xi choked on his words, rolled her eyes at him, and said honestly, "So what? You are still a member of my Leng family now. Besides, Grandpa loves you so much, I have to take better care of you for his sake."

Mingchuan smiled.

This girl has a lot of excuses.

"Okay, okay, okay... You're both right."

"Don't worry, I know what you are talking about."

"That guy doesn't look like a good person. He's so hypocritical, I'm too lazy to help him."

Mingchuan said this, crossing his hands behind his head and closing his eyes to take a nap.

Seeing this, Leng Xi stopped talking and closed his mouth with a depressed look on his face.

She planned to take some time later to investigate in person whether what Cui Chenhui said was true.

If there really is a child who has suffered so much injustice, she must find a way to bring them back...

That night, the two of them slept well and didn't do anything else.

But they had no idea that after everyone left, Old Dog Sun quietly sneaked into Cui Chenhui's room.

The two had a very pleasant conversation, and soon Sun Laogou won a project from Cui Chenhui.

Old Dog Sun immediately returned to the company and started working on the project. With this project, his company could at least recover half of its capital!

These two people are a perfect match.

Because the guy who injured people at the venue was originally arranged by Sun Laogou, but Cui Chenhui soon discovered this and took advantage of it.

At the moment, Cui Chenhui likes Sun Laogou more and more.

……

The auction dinners on the next two days went on normally and nothing major happened. No one paid attention to the previous incident and instead gained their own benefits from the banquet.

A few days after the auction, Dong Chuyan took the initiative to call Mingchuan.

At this time, Mingchuan was lying on the sofa, watching Leng Xi work with an amused look on his face.

The phone call interrupted his wandering thoughts.

"Mingchuan, when can you come to the Dong family? The elders have all gone home. I've arranged for them to meet with you anytime. Let's discuss breaking off the engagement."

Mingchuan thought for a moment and said, "It's better to do it today than to wait for a better day. Let's do it tonight."

"Okay, I'll send a driver to pick you up later."

Dong Chuyan was about to hang up the phone when she seemed to remember something and spoke hesitantly, "By the way...you...well...you should come alone this time. Don't let Leng Xi accompany you."

Thinking of the loving appearance of the two, Dong Chuyan was afraid that Mingchuan would bring Leng Xi with him, which would make the elders in the family very angry.

Mingchuan nodded: "Okay, got it."

After hanging up the phone, Mingchuan said hello to Dong Chuyan and worked with her for a while.

The Dong family’s car arrived downstairs.

……

at this time.

Dong Family Courtyard.

Several old men with gray beards sat together, surrounded by a group of relatives of the Dong family.

Dong Chuyan sat close to her mother, and the others looked at the mother and daughter with a hint of disdain on their faces.

"If you ask me, old man, you're a little confused this time. I heard that kid has lived in the countryside for many years. He has no money and no skills. He just does farm work."

"You can just cancel the engagement. Why did you have to call everyone here?"

"That's right, Dad, Mom, even though Yan'er is the youngest in the family and a little disobedient, you don't have to marry her to a man like this... It would be such a disgrace to our Dong family."

Everyone said something to me.

However, the old guys sitting in the first seats closed their eyes and did not respond to this question.

You know, in order to get this marriage, these old guys owed a lot of favors to the women in the mountains.

"Dad, did you listen?"

"Uncle, please say something too."

The voices of dissatisfaction were heard again.

Seeing this, Dong's mother was about to say something when an old lady sitting on the side, twirling Buddhist beads in her hand, opened her eyes.

The old lady now has one foot in the coffin, but her eyes are still bright.

"You don't know the intricacies of this, so don't speak rashly. That kid is no ordinary person, and he will have great fortune in the future. If Yan'er can be with him, my Dong family will be guaranteed to prosper for a hundred years."

The middle-aged men who had just spoken couldn't help themselves.

He sneered and said, "Come on, Mom, you're talking so nonsense. Although our Dong family is not a hundred years old, in the past twenty or thirty years, we have been considered the best in the industry!"

"Isn't the most important thing to do right now to form a strong alliance with other companies to maintain our Dong family's current status? Are you still counting on an unknown kid to ensure our Dong family's prosperity for a hundred years?"

"Oh, that's hilarious."

The man's laughter was particularly sarcastic and sounded very harsh.

The old lady frowned, and the speed of the Buddhist beads in her hand turned a little faster. "Ignorance."

"I……"

"That's enough!" Dong's mother suddenly spoke up, interrupting the quarrel. "We'll know what's going on when he gets here. What's the point of you arguing here?"
