Chapter 1490

After a pause, Mu Qianying continued: "In order to make up for this gap, my dad went out on a special trip and invited Zheng Qinshi and Uncle Zheng, whom I have known for many years, over here."

"Uncle Zheng is the chairman of the United Chamber of Commerce of the three southern provinces, and also serves as a standing committee member of the Ze Province Chamber of Commerce and Industry. He has a good influence in the political and business circles. If our Mu family has the support of the Zheng family, we can make up for our weaknesses. Overwhelm the Cai family, and finally regain the position of the first family in the provincial capital."

Fade Chen nodded after listening. He could understand Mu Tianhan's thoughts, but he couldn't understand Mu Tianhan's act of letting his daughter be a bargaining chip, so he asked with some doubts, "In order to get the support of the Zheng family, why do you Dad asked you to get engaged to Zheng Kun?"

Hearing this, Mu Qianying shook her head and said, "Actually, my dad didn't force me. At the very beginning, my dad didn't even think about getting engaged. It's just that after Uncle Zheng and Zheng Kun arrived at my house two days ago, the first Two days later, Uncle Zheng brought it up to my dad."

"Uncle Zheng was just a suggestion, and my dad didn't agree directly, but said he wanted me to get along with Zheng Kun more, and we'll talk about it when we get to know each other!"

"I don't have any feelings for Zheng Kun. Later, I found someone to inquire about Zheng Kun's reputation in the local area. It seems that it is not good, especially in terms of the relationship between men and women. In addition, Zheng Kun has always been pestering me these days, and from time to time It's very frivolous to want to do something to me. So, I don't want to get engaged to him at all."

"I told my dad about my thoughts in private, and wanted him to directly reject Uncle Zheng's engagement. But my dad was worried that it would affect the relationship between our two families, so he asked me to wait until after the Lantern Festival is over, and then mention this thing."

"My family didn't refuse, but Zheng Kun thought we agreed, and thought I liked him. Usually he was more hands-on, and he even wanted to ask me out for a drink alone last night."

Hearing this, Fade Chen finally understood what happened.

This so-called engagement is just a statement from the fathers of both parties, and there is no confirmation at all.

On the Mu family's side, considering the relationship, they did not immediately refuse. On the other hand, Zheng Kun was too conceited, thinking that Mu Qianying didn't directly refuse, but just liked her, so he started to move more and more frequently.

After sorting this out, Fade Chen patted Mu Qianying's head lightly, and said, "Qianying, don't wrong yourself. If you have any ideas, just say it clearly. If your father is in trouble, wait a minute, I'll go Talk to him."

Hearing this, Mu Qianying nodded with a smile on her face, and said, "Brother Chen, thank you. But it's okay, I'll be fine after tonight."

Afterwards, several people continued to stroll around for a while, and suddenly, a huge and bright firework exploded in the air, attracting everyone's attention.

Seeing this, Mu Qianying said to Fade Chen and the others: "Brother Chen, the Lantern Festival is about to begin, let's go back to the wooden building. You can see it most clearly over there."

So, several people immediately returned to where the wooden building was. In the wooden building, quite a few people have gathered at this moment, but obviously, everyone still determines their positions according to their status. The higher the status, the higher the floor.

Fade Chen and the others returned to the third floor. Compared to the emptiness just now, there are obviously more people on the third floor at this moment.

Among them, the one centered on Mu Tianhan is mainly people from the Mu family and distinguished guests invited by Mu Tianhan.

On the opposite side of the Mu family is the gathering place of the Cai family. Mainly Cai Xiyuan, the current patriarch of the Cai family, and the guests invited by the Cai family.

In the middle position are several top leaders in various industries in Ze Province, who can be regarded as witnesses to the open and secret struggles of this festival of lights.

Fade Chen and the others returned to the crowd of the Mu family, Zheng Kun immediately looked over with unfriendly eyes, and let out a cold snort of displeasure.

Zheng Qinshi also cast his gaze over, and said with an official tone: "Qianying and Mr. Chen are back, you had a good time down there just now!"

These words are nothing, but with Zheng Kun's expression, we can see the displeasure and questioning of Zheng's father and son.

Seeing this, Mu Tianhan's face couldn't help but change. He looked at Mu Qianying and said in a deep voice, "Qianying, what did you do just now? Hurry up and apologize to Zheng Kun and Uncle Zheng."

"I—" Mu Qianying was a little surprised, and seemed a little sluggish for a while.

But Fade Chen frowned, showing some displeasure between his brows, and stepped out, ready to settle the matter. Even if he offended Mu Tianhan, Fade Chen didn't care, he didn't want Mu Qianying to be wronged.

But before Fade Chen could step out, Mu Qianying tugged on Fade Chen's sleeve, looked at Fade Chen with big watery eyes, shook his head slightly, bit his lips and said, "Brother Chen, I'm fine." .”

Then, Mu Qianying walked towards Zheng Qinshi and Zheng Kun, bowed her head and apologized: "Uncle Zheng, Zheng Kun. I was self-willed just now and accidentally offended Brother Kun. I apologize to you all."

Hearing this, Zheng Kun showed a smug look on his face, deliberately looked towards Fade Chen, raised his eyebrows excitedly, then reached out to support Mu Qianying, and said in a voice: "Sister Qianying doesn't need to apologize, it's nothing Big thing, I have forgiven you."

Zheng Qinshi on the side also smiled, took a look at Mu Tianhan, and said: "It's normal for children to be agitated and a little emotional, which couples didn't come here like this, and it will be fine if they get together in the end. "

"It's just that it's better to handle the matter between the two of you by yourself. It's unnecessary for outsiders to intervene." When Zheng Qinshi said the following sentence, he deliberately looked at Fade Chen with a warning look in his eyes.

Seeing this, Fade Chen squinted his eyes, not paying attention to Zheng Qinshi's warning. Instead, he looked at Mu Qianying, showing encouragement.

At this moment, feeling that the atmosphere seemed a bit awkward, Mu Tianhan laughed, and said with a smile: "Look, the festival of lights has begun."

Then, the eyes of a group of people immediately looked towards the Canglang River.

At this moment, the night has completely fallen, and the exquisite and gorgeous lanterns on both sides of the Canglang River are all lit up.

Lanterns of different shapes, combined with colorful lights, create a splendid and magnificent world of lights.

The lights on the bank are reflected in the river surface, and together with the gorgeous fireworks in the sky, the entire Canglang River has become a colorful world, lively and beautiful.

In addition to exquisite lanterns, the use of modern high-tech also makes traditional lanterns play new tricks. There are various lanterns floating with the flowing water on the river, and there are arrays of lanterns built by drones in the air, constantly changing various shapes, dazzling and amazed.

The guests under the wooden building and on both sides of the river bank were all excited when they saw such a beautiful scenery. Cheers, shouts, and even the sound of taking pictures were heard endlessly.
