But after having these two dreams lately, Cheng Ling suddenly picked up these things in the past again.
In the dream, Cheng Ling looked about eight or nine years old.
Cheng Ling’s memory about that time was quite vague. She could only remember some scenes of her playing in the fields, but she couldn’t remember many specific things.
She used to think that it was just a coincidence, but now that she thought about it, it might not be.
However, there were too few clues, and the information provided by these dreams was not enough. Cheng Ling didn’t know where to start, so she could only give up.
After taking a quick shower, she lay back on the bed.
She took out her phone to check the time and found out Lu Qi had sent her a WeChat message after sending the red packet.
Cheng Ling clicked on WeChat and found out Lu Qi had sent her a very cute emoji. A little pig was lying on the bed with its eyes closed and a purple quilt was covering its body. The caption read ‘Goodnight’.
Looking at the emoji, Cheng Ling smiled and then pressed the emoji to save it.
After that, she slept very well until dawn.
The next few days were no different from usual. Cheng Ling was surprised that she could still enjoy such a peaceful few days.
But the Cheng family was not so peaceful.
Old Master Cheng’s birthday was on next Monday. His invitation cards had been gradually sent out since last month. Many families in the capital had replied, indicating that they would attend on time.
However, Old Master Cheng hadn’t received any replies from the most important families.
“Still no replies today?”
Old Master Cheng looked at the housekeeper who was holding a pile of letters and asked.
The housekeeper quickly flipped through the letters and then shook her head.
Old Master Cheng was a little disappointed and angry from embarrassment. He was sitting on a wooden chair.
His waist was injured and he couldn’t sit on the soft sofa. So he had someone custom-make a wooden chair according to his height so that he could sit more comfortably.
Xie Wan was coming down at this time. Last night, she played mahjong with the group of rich ladies and didn’t come home until two o’clock in the morning. Today, she slept a little late. When she woke up, Cheng Ming had already gone to the company.
There were only two people downstairs, Old Master Cheng and the housekeeper. Xie Wan looked at them and noticed Old Master Cheng’s expression didn’t look right.
“Dad, what’s the matter? Who made you unhappy again?”
Old Master Cheng’s face was livid, but he didn’t say anything.
The housekeeper held the letters and said, “Today we still haven’t received any replies from the Ding and Lu families.”
Xie Wan could understand. It had been a month, and the Ding and Lu families hadn’t replied. It meant that they didn’t care about this matter at all.
But she still needed to console Old Master Cheng.
When Old Master Cheng was unhappy, she would be the first to suffer in the family. After all, she was the only person with an outsider’s surname.
So Xie Wan sat next to Old Master Cheng.
“Dad, I think the last time the Lu family talked to us was pretty good. This time, there was no reply. Maybe they forgot to reply, or maybe the replies were missing.”
“How can such a big Lu family not even do a good job of replying? They obviously don’t take me seriously.”
Old Master Cheng sighed again.
Of course, he knew the reason. The Cheng family had relied on the support of the Lu family for the past two years to gain a little status.
He only had one son, Cheng Ming. However, Cheng Ming was not smart and not the type to be a boss.
However, Old Master Cheng had no choice but to let Cheng Ming manage the Cheng Group. Even though the Lu family had introduced many businesses to the Cheng Group last year and also allocated 20 million yuan to help them tide over the difficulties, however, it was only enough to bring the Cheng Group back to life.
Based on Cheng Ming’s ability, the Cheng Group couldn’t achieve anything big.
This was also the most helpless part of Old Master Cheng. After complaining about his son in his heart, Old Master Cheng looked at his daughter-in-law next to him. He was dissatisfied with everything in his heart.
“And you, you usually don’t know how to control things at home. You go out and play mahjong with those rich ladies all day, but you didn’t collect any good information. You slept until so late in the morning. People say that a successful man needs a woman behind him. How can Cheng Ming succeed with a wife like you?”
Xie Wan had always only dared to be angry silently with Old Master Cheng but didn’t dare to say anything. Now, she could only lower her head and be lectured obediently.
She was talking about the Lu family and the Ding family didn’t reply to the invitation but now she was implicated in this matter.
Xie Wan thought about it and decided to put out this fuse.
She said, “Dad if the Ding family and the Lu family don’t reply, we can take the initiative to look for them. I think Master Lu is quite interested in our Xiao Xiao. Why don’t we get Xiao Xiao to make a call and ask about it? As for the Ding family, I heard from Xiao Xiao that she and the young master of the Ding family get along quite well in school.”
“Really?” Old Master Cheng’s mood immediately eased up when he heard that..
