Ke Tingfan ordered several more breadfruits from Rong Shichu. When he came back from the research institute in the evening, he took two back and planned to let his family taste them.
When Ke's mother saw him holding a large fruit in one hand, she asked in surprise, "What kind of fruit is this? I don't think I've seen it before?"
"These breadfruits were obtained from Miss Congrong. They are edible." Ke Tingfan said, and asked the housework robot to process the two breadfruits.
When Mrs. Ke heard him mention Rong Shichu, her eyes lit up immediately: "It's Miss Rong, have you contacted her recently?"
Ke Tingfan nodded: "I asked her about breadfruit."
"Did you meet her again?" Mother Ke stared at him and asked.
"No, you don't need to meet in person to ask some questions." Ke Tingfan answered indifferently.
Mother Ke was disappointed with her husband, but suddenly remembered something and said excitedly, "The eighth of next month is the 60th anniversary of my marriage to your father. We will hold a banquet then. Why don't you invite Miss Rong to attend? After all, you got a lot of plants from her..."
Ke Tingfan frowned slightly and said, "Is she suitable to appear in such an occasion? Mom, don't forget that she is the only one left in the Rong family. Those who flatter the powerful and bully the weak may look down on her or even humiliate her."
"Why don't you just protect her? Of course I will have someone take good care of her. Let her come and participate, and it will be good for her to meet more people." Mother Ke blurted out.
“Maybe after Miss Rong comes to participate, she can become known as a senior grower. Wouldn’t that allow the Rong family to get back on its feet?” The more Mother Ke talked, the more she felt this was the case.
"Mom, Miss Rong may not be able to adapt to our circle..." Ke Tingfan tactfully reminded her that Rong Shichu had been without parents since childhood and had never attended a banquet for upper-class people. Although she looked lawless and daring, Ke Tingfan knew the complexity of upper-class people and Rong Shichu might not be able to adapt to it.
"Wouldn't it be possible to get used to it if you participated more often?" Ke's mother patted Ke Tingfan on the back unhappily and said, "Hurry up and contact her. She sold you so many plants and helped you recover a lot of your mental strength. Shouldn't you repay her?"
Ke Tingfan had no choice but to contact Rong Shichu again.
When Rong Shichu saw that it was him, a big client, she answered the call immediately, and Ke Tingfan's handsome and refined face soon appeared in front of her.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the breadfruit?" Rong Shichu asked.
"No." Ke Tingfan shook his head, and the hair on both sides of his earlobes swayed. "Next month on the 8th is my parents' 60th wedding anniversary. There will be a banquet. My mother wants to invite you to attend. Are you free that day?"
Rong Shichu was somewhat puzzled: "Why did you invite me, an irrelevant person, to your parents' wedding anniversary party?"
"They are not unrelated people. Actually, your Rong family's ancestors have had friendship with our Ke family for generations, but it gradually faded later. But now my son is fortunately saved by you, so it is a good opportunity to renew the friendship between the two families..." Mother Ke suddenly appeared next to Ke Tingfan.
Rong Shichu saw a beautiful woman in her thirties looking at him with a smile, with a friendly look on her face. After she finished what she just said, she said with some annoyance:
"I forgot to introduce myself again. I hope Miss Rong doesn't mind. I am Ke Tingfan's mother. I know you saved my son last time and sold him so many precious plants. I am very grateful, so I sincerely invite you to attend my wedding anniversary party."
Rong Shichu was not very interested after hearing this. What did the Ke family have to do with her, no matter how prominent it was? So she was about to refuse.
But Mother Ke obviously saw through her plan and immediately said, "Ms. Rong, don't rush to reject me. I heard that you are a senior planter, so you must be very interested in plants, right? I happen to have an extremely precious and rare Snow Charm Orchid. There are no more than a handful of Snow Charm Orchids in the entire galaxy. Many senior and special planters may not have seen one in their lifetime. Don't you want to come and see it?"
Rong Shichu was immediately attracted by her words. Snow Charm Orchid? She had never heard of this name before? What kind of plant was it? Orchid
Her curiosity was instantly aroused by Mrs. Ke's words, so she immediately agreed: "Okay, I will definitely attend on time that day and see your Snow Charm Orchid by the way."
"Okay, it's settled." Mrs. Ke said happily.
After hanging up the call, Mrs. Ke said to her son in a proud tone, "Look, I got people here right away. You, a straight-talking fool, are obviously fooled by this ability."
Ke Tingfan snatched his Star Brain back from his mother with an expressionless face.
Since Rong Shichu had already accepted Mrs. Ke's invitation, he would naturally not be perfunctory. A banquet hosted by a prominent family like the Ke family would surely have guests who were all well-known and important figures, so Rong Shichu had to be prepared.
Although she was not vain, she did not want to be considered a bumpkin or an ugly duckling, so she specially customized a more formal dinner dress, which cost her a lot of money and made her feel a little painful.
On Mrs. Ke's wedding anniversary, Ke Tingfan contacted her: "Are you ready for your dress and makeup? Should I send a stylist to help you?"
Rong Shichu shook his head and refused: "No, I'm ready, and my house is not suitable for strangers to come in."
Ke Tingfan immediately thought of the plants in her yard, so she stopped trying to persuade him and said, "Then I'll pick you up at five o'clock."
Rong Shichu wanted to refuse, but she remembered that her old and shabby car was definitely not suitable to be parked in the Ke family's bright and beautiful parking lot, so she agreed.
Ke Tingfan arrived at Rong's house on time at five o'clock. Rong Shichu opened the door of the protective shield and let him in.
"Come and help me choose which plant would be a good gift for your parents?" Rong Shichu, who was dressed in a gorgeous outfit, asked Ke Tingfan, who was walking slowly towards him, in a worried look.
She was standing on the path in the courtyard. Both sides of the path were full of bright red roses, splendid as fire. Rong Shichu was wearing a one-shoulder goose yellow polka dot dress, revealing her delicate clavicle and jade-white skin, as well as her beautiful little face…
This scene vividly showed Ke Tingfan what "people are more beautiful than flowers" meant. His dark eyes suddenly became deeper and darker, and his Adam's apple suddenly rolled a few times.
"As long as it's a plant, my parents will be happy. You just need to choose one." As soon as Ke Tingfan said this, he realized that his voice was a little hoarse and lower than usual. He coughed uncomfortably.
