In Cao Mengyuan's impression, since childhood, perhaps because of the close relationship, Cao Zhongxiao was not lukewarm to her family, and sometimes even ridiculed.
But seeing Cao Zhongxiao's weather-beaten face today, and the sadness on that face for the sake of the future of the family, made Cao Mengyuan feel uncomfortable.
After all, the Cao family has given him a superior growth environment and a good education. Cao Zhongxiao has worked his entire life and devoted a lot to this family.
Now, at a moment when it is related to the fate of the family, Cao Zhongxiao forces Cao Mengyuan to do this. There is really no way.
When the two verbally agreed on the marriage contract, the Cao family took the initiative to find the Huang family to make an agreement. There was only one purpose, and that was to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with the Huang family so that the Cao family continued to prosper.
If the Cao family is really suppressed because of this incident, then in the future, the fate of the Cao family can be imagined. The family company will be ruined, and the past glory of the Cao family will be gone forever.
"Mengyuan, don't worry, why did I work hard to the point where I am now? It's not for you yet. When your family is threatened, I will help, because now I already have this strength. ."
Of course, Shen Dapeng knew what Cao Mengyuan meant, so he smiled and comforted.
"Can you really help Cao's family?"
Over the phone, Cao Mengyuan asked a little excitedly.
Although, when Cao Mengyuan made this decision, she had already thought that Shen Dapeng might help the Cao family, but when she heard this sentence from Shen Dapeng's mouth, she still couldn't believe it.
"Anyway, you are from the Cao family. You grew up in the Cao family. The Cao family was in trouble. If I don't help, you will be very worried."
Cao Mengyuan was speechless for a while, and her heart was full of gratitude. Shen Dapeng's thoughtfulness really made her feel relieved.
"By the way, I am eating out, do you want to come together?"
It's been a long time since I saw Cao Mengyuan, Shen Dapeng still missed something in her heart.
Moreover, now that he has established the Pengzhan Group, he has been hiding his powers for several years, and now he has finally revealed his identity, so there is no need to conceal some things.
The matter with Cao Mengyuan had always been secretly contacted before, and even the people around him didn't know much about it, and this matter couldn't always be carried out in such a secret way, right
At this time, it was open and nothing. Cao Mengyuan had already rejected the Huang family. It was normal to be with herself.
"You guys, aren't you all together?" Cao Mengyuan obviously didn't understand Shen Dapeng's meaning, and asked in a little astonishment, "Is it right for me to go?"
Shen Dapeng smiled lightly, "Why is it inappropriate? You are my girlfriend now. Isn't it normal for me to take my girlfriend to dinner?"
"But, they don't know what happened between the two of us. If this is known to everyone..."
"It's time for the two of us to be public. When will it be kept under cover?"
When Cao Mengyuan thought about it, that was indeed the case.
The Cao family's attitude is very clear, that is, they took the initiative to cancel the marriage contract with the Huang family, and the Huang family will not be entangled in the face.
After Cao Mengyuan agreed to Shen Dapeng, she said that she would arrive at Xiaohetang hot pot soon.
The Cao's house in Beijing is in the prosperous area, and Xiaohetang hot pot is not far from Cao's home, so in less than half an hour, Shen Dapeng saw Cao Mengyuan's figure.
After getting out of the taxi, Cao Mengyuan ran to Shen Dapeng in three steps in two steps. She stepped forward with excitement and gave Shen Dapeng a firm hug. Shen Dapeng was caught off guard, but after reacting, she hugged Cao Mengyuan harder.
For a while, the surroundings seemed to quiet down, only the sound of each other's heartbeats could be heard.
Two people perceive each other's temperature, reluctant to let go, and it takes a long time to separate.
"After waiting for me for so long, it must be frozen out, right?"
Cao Mengyuan held Shen Dapeng's somewhat cold hand, thinking that he had been waiting for herself on the cold street for so long, and she couldn't help feeling a little distressed.
"It's okay, come in with me, Tang Wei and the others are impatient and have made several calls."
Shen Dapeng smiled slightly and said that he was okay. He glanced at Cao Mengyuan's somewhat shy face, took her hand and walked into the small lotus pond.
Because of the establishment of Pengzhan Group, everyone was basically in the capital, so Li Zeyu specially set aside the best private room on the second floor to make it easier for everyone to eat.
The moment Shen Dapeng took Cao Mengyuan's hand and walked into the private room, the atmosphere of talking and laughing suddenly solidified, and everyone stared at Shen Dapeng and Cao Mengyuan standing at the door.
His eyes were filled with surprise and puzzlement.
Even Liu Fengxia, who has always been relatively calm, looked confused when staring at Shen Dapeng and holding Cao Mengyuan's hand.
Look at this, two people are boy and girl friends
However, I have never heard of Dapeng who is in love with this child
"Okay, Brother Peng, you told us to go out and answer the phone, why did you pick up a big beautiful woman? If you don't explain it, it seems a bit unreasonable, right?"
It was Tang Wei who reacted first and broke the quiet atmosphere in the private room with haha.
"Yes Dapeng, who is this girl?" Wang Huailong was also puzzled.
"Don't you know? This is Cao Mengyuan, our school girl in high school, should you know Dapaozi?"
Before Shen Dapeng spoke, Li Zeyu widened his eyes and stared at Cao Mengyuan in disbelief.
Li Zeyu and Shen Dapeng Cao Mengyuan were high school classmates, so of course they met Cao Mengyuan, but it was very strange how did Shen Dapeng suddenly bring Cao Mengyuan, an old classmate, and seeing the appearance of the two, the relationship is still very unusual.
Sun Dapao slowly stood up, first squinted at Cao Mengyuan, then his eyes widened suddenly, and he patted his thigh with a sudden realization.
"Yes, that's right, it's you, Qingshu County High School! At that time, I took a group of brothers. When I was fine, I always liked to go to high school. When school is over, I can see you, the way you walk. , It's simply a beautiful scenery."
"Your kid is so beautiful!"
Seeing Sun Dapao staring at Cao Mengyuan with some intriguing gazes, Li Zeyu came directly on the back of Sun Dapao's head.
"The toad wants to eat swan meat, don't you see who the owner of this swan is?!"
Shen Dapeng and Cao Mengyuan's hands were held together, and Li Zeyu would be silly if he couldn't understand it anymore.
So when he said this, all the people at the table laughed.
