Chu Yue's words were actually very pointed, but the way she said them made the atmosphere very awkward.
How could someone as intelligent as Cui Qinghe not know this? But at this moment, he could only pretend to be ignorant.
"Miss Chu is joking. I'm just a businessman, how could I be so charming?"
"Of course you have it! You definitely do. I just think you're amazing."
Hearing this, Cui Qinghe could only smile awkwardly. Fortunately, Chu Dali returned at this moment, and Cui Qinghe quickly stood up.
Ren Rongzheng had never met Chu Yue's father before, and when he saw him walk in from outside, he quickly stood up as well.
"My daughter Xiaoyue's two friends are here? I'm so sorry, something came up at the mine and I had to go take care of it. I'm only back now. I'm sorry to have kept you two guests waiting."
Chu Dali was pretty much the same as Ren Rongzheng had imagined—big and burly, with a particularly rugged appearance. So what he just said was quite different from his image.
"Hello, Mine Owner Chu."
Ren Rongzheng and Cui Qinghe addressed each other very politely.
"Yes, yes, hello to both of you distinguished guests."
After Chu Dali finished speaking, his gaze remained fixed on Cui Qinghe, with the kind of satisfied expression a father-in-law would have when looking at his son-in-law.
"Chu Yue kept saying that you haven't read many books, but just now, from the way you spoke, you sound like a cultured person."
Ren Rongzheng could see Cui Qinghe's embarrassment, so he quickly changed the subject, which helped him out of the predicament.
"What kind of cultured person? I haven't read many books. I'm just a roughneck. Those words were taught to me by my precious daughter over and over again."
I told her I couldn't learn those fancy, literary phrases; a normal greeting would suffice. But she wouldn't listen and insisted I say it, so I reluctantly followed her instructions.
"Dad, how come you gave yourself away before you even finished three sentences?" Chu Yue was furious when she heard Chu Dali reveal his true colors again.
"No, honey, you only taught me this one line, and I can't cover it up with the rest."
Seeing this, Ren Rongzheng smiled slightly: "Master Chu, it's good that you have such a genuine personality. You are straightforward, direct and decisive, a model of a great person."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Hearing Ren Rongzheng praise him like that, Chu Dali laughed out loud without any attempt to hide it.
“I love listening to you talk. My daughter told me before that you praised me, but I didn’t believe it. Now that I’ve heard it with my own ears, I finally believe it.”
"From the moment I first met Chu Yue, I have been praising you. You are capable in your career and a good husband and father at home. Who wouldn't praise someone like you?"
“Miss Ren is right. Everyone would praise a legendary figure like Mine Owner Chu,” Cui Qinghe quickly echoed.
Hearing their words, Chu Dali laughed even more heartily.
To entertain the two of them, the Chu family prepared a sumptuous dinner, filling the table to the brim.
"Mine Owner Chu, you're too kind," Ren Rongzheng said.
"You two are both honored guests, so naturally we should prepare the best for you. If you like the food, feel free to come anytime. If you don't like it, I'll replace the chef today."
"Yes, please make yourselves at home and don't feel awkward," Chu Yue said.
"it is good."
Then the banquet began. Chu Dali was a generous man with an amazing capacity for alcohol, and he insisted on having a few drinks with Cui Qinghe, which he couldn't refuse.
During the meal, Chu Yue kept giving Ren Rongzheng and Chu Dali meaningful glances, urging them to get down to business. Chu Dali couldn't do anything about it.
"Well, my dear nephew."
Upon hearing Chu Dali call his name, Cui Qinghe quickly put down his chopsticks.
"exist."
"I'm the kind of person who never beats around the bush, so I'll just ask directly: Have you found a wife yet?"
This is what Cui Qinghe fears most, but what you fear most is what happens to you.
"Not yet, and I have no plans to get married anytime soon."
"You're not getting any younger, and you still don't have any plans to settle down? Aren't your parents worried?" Chu Dali asked.
“My parents respect my wishes. I’m not in a hurry, so they won’t urge me.” Cui Qinghe was afraid that he would continue talking, so he quickly raised his glass. “Thank you for your concern, Mine Owner Chu. Thank you for your hospitality today. This glass is for you.”
"Alright, alright, let's drink."
As soon as they started drinking, Chu Dali opened up and began telling them all about the hardships he faced when he first arrived at the mine and had to establish himself as the king of the mountain.
Hearing him talk on and on, Chu Yue was getting really annoyed, so she immediately tugged at his clothes to remind him.
"We two old men are drinking, you talk to Rong Zheng first."
Seeing him like this, Chu Yue was really angry. If there weren't guests around, she would have smashed his wine glass.
"It's rare for Mine Owner Chu to drink to his heart's content, so let Mine Owner Chu and Boss Cui enjoy their drinks," Ren Rongzheng quickly added to defuse the situation.
"Yes, look at Rong Zheng, the more I look at him, the more I like him." Chu Dali suddenly remembered something and quickly added, "Didn't you two become sworn sisters? Then you're like half a daughter to me. How about I take you in as my goddaughter and make me your godfather?"
Godfather?
"Great idea!" Chu Yue was overjoyed to hear this. "Why didn't I think of that before? Second sister, you should become my dad's goddaughter."
"Yes, I only have one daughter, Xiaoyue, which is really too few. I would be overjoyed to have you as my daughter."
“I also think this is a very good thing,” Cui Qinghe said.
He genuinely thought the suggestion was good, after all, Chu Dali was a prominent figure, and many people wanted to recognize him as their godfather.
He took Ren Rongzheng in so readily that everyone in the world would think she got a great deal. However, when she heard the title of "godfather," she was momentarily dazed, and her consciousness instantly returned to her past life.
"From today onwards, your name is Rumo. You were abandoned by your parents, and I took you in. I will teach you skills from now on."
She was only a few years old then, and she believed him when he said it. As she grew older, she became more and more grateful to him.
Later, she discovered that he was supporting more than just herself, and that he was fighting against the government of Country A. Many of the people he supported went out on missions and never returned.
"Rumo, don't be afraid. In my heart, you are different from them. I am their master and treat them as subordinates, but I treat you like a daughter. Would you like to call me godfather?"
At that time, she really didn't understand. He had raised her since she was a child, and he had indeed taught her a lot. She was truly moved at that moment because she lacked love.
