Chapter 112: Son-in-Law

It was inside the Cheng family mansion.

Cheng Xiao brought her classmate, Zhang He, to the house today to discuss a group project. They were discussing it in the room when Xie Wan suddenly called her out.

Cheng Xiao walked out of the room and left the door ajar. She stood in the corridor talking to Xie Wan.

“What’s the matter?”

“It’s nothing serious. Your grandfather almost lost his temper again today. He still hasn’t received any reply from the Lu and Ding families.”

Hearing this, Cheng Xiao also frowned. It was such a grand birthday party, and both the families weren’t coming? Then who was she going to show off her beauty to?

“Why don’t you call the master of the Lu family today?”

“I think he treated you quite well last time. You should take the initiative, or else my good son-in-law will run away.”

Cheng Xiao was a little embarrassed when she heard Xie Wan mention ‘son-in-law’.

“Mom, what are you talking about? We haven’t even gotten a chance yet.”

“Isn’t Mom creating an opportunity for you now? Hurry up and call the master of the Lu family and personally invite him to this birthday party.”

“Okay, I’ll give it a try.”

Cheng Xiao was confident that she had made a place in Lu Xiu’s heart. Previously, Lu Xiu had been so gentle to her…

“Oh yes, then you can call the Ding family. Didn’t you say that the young master of the Ding family is getting along well with you? You also invite him. If he comes, his grandfather might come, too.”

Cheng Xiao knew how well Ding Yu was getting along with her.

Perhaps it was because she was worried, Xie Wan followed behind Cheng Xiao, wanting to hear her call personally.

This was the first time that Cheng Xiao called Lu Xiu, so she was nervous.

She carefully pressed the phone number on the business card that Lu Xiu gave her.

After a few beeps, a female voice came from the other side.

“Hello, this is the Secretary Office of the President of the Lu Group. How can I help you?”

Cheng Xiao heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was only a secretary.

“Hello, I’m looking for President Lu.”

“May I know who’s speaking?”

“This is Cheng Xiao, the daughter of the Cheng family.”

Lu Xiu’s secretary didn’t know much about the relationship between Lu Xiu and the Cheng family, but she knew that the Lu Group had been allocating funds to the Cheng Group for the past one to two years.

So, when she heard that the person who came was Cheng Xiao, she couldn’t help but take it seriously.

“Please wait a moment, I’ll transfer the call for you immediately.”

Xie Wan on the other side looked anxious and expectant.

After a few seconds of silence, Lu Xiu’s deep and magnetic voice came from the receiver.

“Miss Cheng?”

“Hi Mr. Lu, I’m sorry, am I disturbing you?”

Cheng Xiao tried her best to show that she was considerate and prudent.

“It’s fine. May I know what’s the matter?”

At this moment, Lu Xiu was dealing with the call seriously while looking at Lu Qi with disdain.

After learning that the caller was Cheng Xiao, Lu Qi gloated over Lu Xiu while drinking coffee and laughing at Lu Xiu.

Lu Xiu’s voice was still calm and gentle, giving Cheng Xiao great courage.

“What happens is next Monday is my grandfather’s birthday, and we would like to invite you to our birthday party. We have sent you an invitation but we didn’t receive any reply. We would like to know if you were too busy and overlooked it?”

So it was about this matter.

Of course, they did receive the invitation. The Cheng family not only did send it to the Lu Residence but also their company. It was hard not to see it.

Lu Xiu did not want to experience that kind of banquet scene again. He sat there like a fake smiling toy and if he were to do it again, his face would probably turn stiff from smiling.

“Miss Cheng, I have work next Monday and am not available. I can’t attend Old Master Cheng’s birthday party. Please send my regards to him.”

Lu Xiu’s words were reasonable and watertight. He explained the reason why he could not attend and was very polite.

Since it was a business matter, there was naturally no way he would abandon the company to attend a birthday party.

Hearing Lu Xiu’s refusal, Cheng Xiao pinched the receiver until her fingers turned white.

“Oh, I see. Then…”

“Miss Cheng, I’m sorry. I have a call coming in and I have to take it. Goodbye.”

Then, Lu Xiu hung up the phone, leaving Cheng Xiao to listen to the “du du du” sound awkwardly.

Xie Wan was still very excited.

“How is it, Xiao Xiao? What did Young Master Lu say?”

Cheng Xiao angrily put down the receiver.

“He said that he had work to do and couldn’t come over.”

Xie Wan was anxious when she heard this.. She had committed to Old Master Cheng this morning.
