Chapter 529: Chapter 529: Breaking a Pair of Chopsticks with One Hand
Chen Nanting didn’t believe, "What proof do you have that she’s a business client?" She had clearly heard today that Cheng Feng was going on a blind date.
Who brings their daughter along for business negotiations?
It’s totally not normal, even if it’s real business, they must have some nefarious intentions. Maybe they are using their daughter’s beauty to lure Cheng Feng and thus strike a deal.
Don’t think she’s naive and doesn’t know anything. Some business people are really unscrupulous. They would do anything to seal the deal.
Tong Yao sighed helplessly, with a wry smile, she said, "Miss, I’m already married and pregnant. I have no relationship with Mr. Cheng."
At this remark, Cheng Feng and Chen Nanting’s eyes fell on Tong Yao’s flat belly. Today, Tong Yao was wearing a slim-fit dress that showed her figure perfectly. There was not an ounce of extra fat in her entire body. How could she be pregnant?
Chen Nanting believed Tong Yao was lying, "Do you think I am a fool? Where do you look like you are pregnant in any shape?" Tong Yao had a better figure than hers, how could she look like a pregnant woman?
Cheng Feng bizarrely nodded, it really didn’t look like she was pregnant.
"Um..." Tong Yao touched her forehead helplessly and said to Cheng Feng, "Mr. Cheng, you should quickly explain to this lady!"
She didn’t want to watch the drama, the problem is Chen Nanting won’t let go!
Tong Yaohui also looked at Cheng Feng. Since Chen Nanting is a woman and only grabbed Tong Yao without doing anything excessive, it wasn’t appropriate for him, an adult, to interfere physically. He could only wait for Cheng Feng to clear up the misunderstanding.
Cheng Feng frowned, his tone was stern as he said, "Let go of Tong Yao first and let them leave. I’ll talk to you in a bit."
"I won’t." Chen Nanting pouted, her face full of grievance and stubbornness, "Unless you clear things up, I won’t let go. Tell me, I’m not bad-looking either, and we’ve grown up together since childhood. Why can’t you like me?"
Cheng Feng took a deep breath and put on a stern face, "Your impatience is testing mine. Do you think I will like how you’re treating my business partner?"
Chen Nanting chokes, unable to respond. She glared at Tong Yao, her eyes full of hostility. She wanted to let go, but she was afraid that if she did, Tong Yao would walk away, and she might not get another chance to confront her.
This woman was too beautiful and had a great figure, which made her feel threatened.
Seeing that Chen Nanting remained indifferent, Cheng Feng stepped forward, pulled her hand away from Tong Yao’s arm and said, "Stop being childish, you’re just like a sister to me, and you know it."
"Who wants to be your sister?" Chen Nanting stomped her foot angrily, almost in tears.
Once freed, Tong Yao didn’t dare stay too long. She hurriedly left the scene with Tong Yaohui, leaving the rest of the explanation to Cheng Feng. She had said all she needed to say, and whether Chen Nanting believed her or not was beyond her control. Since she was not yet far along in her pregnancy and had a small belly, she couldn’t possibly carry her prenatal examination sheet around, could she?
After they left, Tong Yaohui asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
Tong Yao shook her head, "Dad, don’t worry, I’m fine. That girl didn’t grip me hard."
Tong Yaohui nodded and seriously said, "In the future, try to have someone accompany you when you go out."
Incidents like today’s were too unexpected. All they did was have a normal meal, but it still resulted in misunderstandings.
Knowing that Tong Yaohui was worried about her, Tong Yao nodded and verbally agreed.
After spending the day out, worried that it had tired Tong Yao, Tong Yaohui hailed a taxi and ordered her to rest. He didn’t allow Tong Yao to go anywhere else. When Tong Yao got home, she discovered that not only had Wen Yun bought a lot of groceries, but she had also tried to find a nanny. Sadly, she had not found a suitable one after searching for a long time.
In the evening, Wen Yun cooked a large meal. The sight of the delicious food moved everyone, including Gu Hongwei and his crew. While eating, they discussed the progress of their business. Gu Hongwei was delighted to learn that the deal had been struck.
Currently, the breeding farm was already starting to turn a profit, and they had also finalised their collaboration with Cheng Feng. In about a month, they could add another batch of chickens and ducks.
By the coming spring, they could also start planting fruit trees. With such a two-year plan, they wouldn’t have to put too much effort into the breeding farm, and could invest their full attention into other businesses.
Everything was moving along smoothly, and everyone was positive about the future.
When the topic of the overseas buying trip came up, Gu Hongwei said calmly, "I might be gone for a few days on this trip. Hu Haiyun, if the visas for your friends are ready, I can take them with me."
Hu Haiyun nodded, "Sure, I’ll call them tomorrow and let them know."
Tong Yao also mentioned her plan, "Once you all return to Kyoto, I plan to travel abroad to visit Ahchen."
Si Chen hadn’t called back recently, and Tong Yao, being pregnant, couldn’t wait to share the good news.
"Yaoyao, you’re pregnant now. Can you take a flight?" Wen Yun expressed her concern.
Tong Yaohui was also not at ease, worriedly said, "Yaoyao, why don’t you wait for another year? After the baby is born, then go see Xiaochen. At that time, you can stay there for some time, and it’s not a problem."
With their daughter now pregnant, they were really uneasy.
Tong Yao quietly comforted them, "Dad, Mum, don’t worry. I’ll go for a prenatal check-up tomorrow. If everything is fine, then I will go to visit Xiaochen." She really wanted to see Si Chen, and wished she could fly there immediately.
Before Wen Yun and Tong Yaohui could speak, Guo Jinnian eagerly said, "Yaoyao, I’ll accompany you. I’ve never been abroad."
Tong Yao’s eyes lit up, "Dad, Mum, with Jinnian accompanying me, then it would be perfect. Don’t worry, Jinnian alone can handle two strong men."
"I’ve seen it." Gu Hongwei said in agreement, nodding seriously.
Guo Jinnian glared at him, then turned to Tong Yaohui and Wen Yun and said with a smile, "Uncle Tong, Aunt Wen, I am really good at fighting. If you don’t believe me, I can give you a live demonstration. Rest assured, I will take good care of Yaoyao."
Tong Yaohui and Wen Yun exchanged a look. Both were uncertain until they heard a crisp "snap". They turned to look and were taken aback. Guo Jinnian had just broken a pair of chopsticks with one hand.
That strength...
Both of them immediately relaxed. Having Guo Jinnian go with their daughter would be safer than if they went themselves.
Hu Haiyun also looked surprised. She had not expected Guo Jinnian to hide such abilities.
Even Gu Hongwei stiffened a bit. Recalling the incidents at the railway station, he suddenly felt like he might have ended up in the news the next day, if Tong Yao hadn’t intervened.
When a woman stands her ground, there’s really nothing a man can do.
