Chapter 127: What Else Could a Country Bumpkin Have?
Chi Jiao didn’t even look at him. When she raised her gaze, she happened to see Chi Mingwei waving at her.
She immediately put down the yogurt and walked past Xu Ye towards her father.
Xu Ye had his head lowered for a long time, but he still didn’t feel Chi Jiao’s hand. He couldn’t help but look up, only to see no one in front of him. Chi Jiao was no longer there.
He felt like Chi Jiao had trampled on his pride, but Xu Ye still laughed.
What could he do?
Since he had chosen this woman, he had to go through with it.
Chi Jiao stopped in front of him and asked with a smile, “Daddy, what’s the matter?”
“I’ll bring you to Old Master Lan now. Let’s make things clear about the engagement,” Chi Mingwei said with a smile.
Chi Jiao nodded without hesitation.
This was her purpose for attending the Lan family’s banquet.
Chi Mingwei and Chi Jiao walked towards Old Master Lan.
Ever since Old Master Lan fell seriously ill half a year ago, he had been paralyzed. He could only sit on the sofa and entertain the guests.
“Grandpa, where’s Mr. Na?” Lan Yunhan asked Old Master Lan curiously as he walked over with Chi Yan while holding hands.
Beside him, a look of confusion flashed across Chi Yan’s eyes.
Mr. Na? This surname was rare.
She remembered a not-so-secretive staff member with the same surname in the 007 Laboratory.
007 was incomparable to her S911 Laboratory. It was unknown how many grades higher it was than S911. 007 had gathered top talents from all over the world.
However, 007 Laboratory’s founder, Mystery J, was too secretive, the laboratory was very low-key. Therefore, the staff and researchers had learned from their boss to keep a low profile as well. Almost none of their identities had been exposed.
Her ultimate goal was to enter the 007.
“He went to the washroom,” Lan Guanlin said with a smile.
Just then, Chi Mingwei brought Chi Jiao over.
“Uncle Lan.” Chi Mingwei smiled politely and greeted Lan Guanlin.
Standing beside him, Chi Jiao had a faint smile on her face as she greeted Old Master Lan as Grandpa Lan.
Although she disliked old men like Lan Guanlin who fawned over the powerful, she still had basic manners.
She couldn’t let anyone say that she wasn’t well educated and have her father be attacked.
Lan Guanlin’s eyes flashed with surprise when he saw Chi Jiao.
This little girl’s aura was completely different from what he had imagined. She was extremely spirited.
But on second thought, he remembered that Chi Jiao grew up in the mountains, and his good impression of her instantly plummeted.
“Take a seat. I have something I want to talk to you about,” Lan Guanlin said slowly.
After Chi Jiao and Chi Mingwei sat down, Lan Yunhan pulled Chi Yan to sit as well.
Before coming to Old Master Lan’s side earlier, Lan Yunhan had already expressed his determination to Chi Yan. He said that his grandfather would be in charge of canceling the engagement with Chi Jiao for him today.
Therefore, Chi Yan was a little excited at this moment.
She couldn’t wait to see Chi Jiao being embarrassed.
Chi Yan looked at Chi Jiao with a secretly smug expression. When she saw Chi Jiao sitting obediently beside Chi Mingwei, she sneered inwardly.
So what if this country bumpkin had her father’s love?
What else could a country bumpkin have?
When the guests present saw Chi Mingwei sitting with Chi Jiao, Chi Yan, and Old Master Lan, they all looked at them with playful gazes.
Everyone present knew about the relationship between Chi Jiao, Chi Yan, and Lan Yunhan.
Therefore, when all of them saw them sitting together, they couldn’t help but find it interesting.
