Chapter 1490 Gorgeous Lantern
After pausing, Mu Qianying continued: "In order to make up for the gap in this regard, my father went out and invited Uncle Zheng, whom he had known each other for many years."
"Uncle Zheng is the president of the joint chamber of commerce of the three southern provinces, and also serves as a standing committee member in the Ze Provincial Industry and Commerce Association. He has a good influence in the political and business circles. If our Mu family receives the support of the Zheng family, it can make up for its weaknesses, overwhelm the Cai family, and eventually regain the position of the first family in the provincial capital."
After hearing this, Chen Fei nodded. He could understand Mu Tianhan’s thoughts, but he was a little unable to understand Mu Tianhan’s move to ask his daughter to be a bargaining chip. So he asked in doubt, “In order to get the support of the Zheng family, your father asked you to get you engaged to Zheng Kun?”
Upon hearing this, Mu Qianying shook her head and said, "Actually, my dad didn't force me. At the beginning, my dad never thought about getting engaged. It was only after Uncle Zheng and Zheng Kun arrived at my house two days ago, and the next day, Uncle Zheng asked my dad."
"Uncle Zheng was just a suggestion, and my father did not agree directly. Instead, he asked me and Zheng Kun to get along more and wait until we get familiar with each other!"
"I don't have any feelings for Zheng Kun. Later, I asked someone to ask about Zheng Kun's reputation in the local area. It seems a bit bad, especially in the relationship between men and women. In addition, Zheng Kun has been pestering me these days and wants to attack me from time to time, which is very frivolous. So, I don't want to get engaged to him at all."
"I told my dad privately what I thought and wanted him to reject Uncle Zheng's engagement directly. But my dad was worried that it would affect the relationship between our two families, so he asked me to wait and mention this matter after the Light Festival."
"My family didn't refuse, but Zheng Kun thought we agreed and thought I liked him. He usually used his hands and feet more frequently, and even wanted to ask me out for a drink alone last night."
Hearing this, Chen Fei understood the whole story.
This so-called engagement is just a statement from both fathers, and there is no confirmation at all.
The Mu family did not refuse immediately considering the relationship. Zheng Kun was too proud and thought that Mu Qianying did not refuse directly, but liked him, so she started to move more and more frequently.
After sorting out these things, Chen Fei gently patted Mu Qianying's head and said, "Qianying, don't be wronged. If you have any ideas, just make it clear. If your father is in a dilemma, I'll go and talk to him later."
Upon hearing this, Mu Qianying nodded with a smile and said, "Brother Chen, thank you. But it's okay, it's fine. It's fine after tonight."
Then, the few people continued to stroll for a while, and suddenly, a huge and bright firework exploded in the air, attracting everyone's eyes.
Seeing this, Mu Qianying said to Chen Fei and the others: "Brother Chen, the Light Festival is about to begin. Let's go back to Mulou. You can see it the most clearly there."
So, the few people immediately returned to the place where the wooden building was located. There were many people gathering in the wooden building at this moment, but obviously, everyone still determined their respective positions according to their status. The higher the status, the higher the floor.
Chen Fei and his friends returned to the third floor. Compared to the empty space just now, there were obviously more people on the third floor at this moment.
Among them, the main part with Mu Tianhan as the center is the Mu family and the VIP guests invited by Mu Tianhan.
On the other side of the Mu family is the gathering place of the Cai family. The main ones are Cai Xiyuan, the current head of the Cai family, and the guests invited by the Cai family.
In the middle, there are several top big men in various industries in Ze Province, and they are also witnesses of the open and secret struggle of this Light Festival.
When Chen Fei and the others returned to the Mu family, Zheng Kun's eyes immediately looked over unkindly and let out a cold snorting unhappy.
Zheng Qinshi also turned his eyes and said with an official voice: "Qianying and Mr. Chen are back. Have fun just now!"
This is nothing, but with Zheng Kun's expression, you can see the displeasure and questioning of the Zheng father and son.
Seeing this, Mu Tianhan's face changed, and looked at Mu Qianying and said in a deep voice: "Qianying, what did you do just now, why don't you apologize to Zheng Kun and Uncle Zheng."
"I--" Mu Qianying was a little surprised and seemed a little dull for a moment.
Chen Fei frowned, with a few displeasures in his eyebrows, and he raised his legs and stepped out, preparing to solve the problem. Even if he offended Mu Tianhan, Chen Fei didn't care. He didn't want Mu Qianying to be wronged.
But before Chen Fei stepped out, Mu Qianying pulled Chen Fei's sleeve, looked at Chen Fei with big watery eyes, shook her head gently, bit her lip and said, "Brother Chen, I'm fine."
Then, Mu Qianying walked towards Zheng Qinshi and Zheng Kun, bowed his head and apologized: "Uncle Zheng, Zheng Kun. I was willful just now and accidentally offended Brother Kun. I apologize to you."
Hearing this, Zheng Kun showed a look of pride on his face and deliberately looked at Chen Fei. Mei Fei raised his eyebrows, then he reached out and helped Mu Qianying up and said, "Sister Qianying doesn't need to apologize. It's nothing big, I've forgiven you."
Zheng Qinshi, who was standing beside him, also smiled, looked at Mu Tianhan, and said, "It is normal for children to have a little bit of emotions. Which couple didn't come like this, and it would be better to be together in the end."
"But it's better to handle the matter between the two people by themselves. It's unnecessary for outsiders to intervene." When Zheng Qinshi said the following sentence, his eyes deliberately looked at Chen Fei, with a warning look in his eyes.
Seeing this, Chen Fei narrowed his eyes and did not take Zheng Qinshi's warning to heart. Instead, he looked at Mu Qianying, showing an encouraging look.
At this moment, the atmosphere seemed a little awkward. Mu Tianhan laughed and said, "Look, the Light Festival has begun."
So, the eyes of a group of people immediately looked at Canglanghe.
At this moment, the night had completely fallen, and the exquisite and gorgeous lanterns on both sides of the Canglang River were all lit up.
Lanterns with different shapes, combined with colorful lights, create a brilliant and magnificent world of lights.
The lights on the shore are reflected in the river surface, and combined with the gorgeous fireworks in the sky, the entire Canglang River has become a colorful world, lively and beautiful.
In addition to exquisite lanterns and the use of modern high-tech, traditional lanterns have also made new tricks. There are various lanterns floating with the flowing water on the river surface, and there are arrays of lanterns built by unmanned institutions in the sky, which are constantly changing in various shapes, which are dazzling and amazing.
