123: Introduce Chen Qiu to a potential partner

The Yan family home.

Tao Xia skillfully picked up a dumpling wrapper, dipped her fingers in water, and lightly brushed the edge.

Then, she scooped up a spoonful of filling and placed it in the center of the wrapper.

Her fingers flew, nimbly folding the dumpling into shape.

Beside her, Yan Baiwei was not as fast, but she was also quite proficient.

"Your father should be back late tonight, so don't worry about cooking for him later,"

Tao Xia said, her expression relaxed.

Even though this was just an ordinary daily routine, it gave her a long-lost sense of ease!

Over the years, having owed so much money and living in constant distress, how could she have been in the mood to make dumplings?

Ever since the industrial park project took a turn for the better these past two days, the atmosphere at home had completely changed.

It gave Tao Xia a feeling of having returned to the time before they were in debt.

As Tao Xia spoke, she suddenly noticed her daughter picking up her phone and replying to a message.

On that cold, aloof face, a faint, rare smile had actually appeared.

Tao Xia's heart jolted, her dumpling-making speed slowed down immediately, and she quietly observed her daughter.

Is she still taking pictures to share?!

Did she pout?

She's blushing?!

Did I see that right? My daughter is actually blushing?

Tao Xia's eyes widened in shock, her emotions churning.

In the past two years, when had she ever seen her daughter show such a shy demeanor?

Who is she talking to?

A name appeared in Tao Xia's mind, but she dared not be certain.

The next moment, Yan Baiwei spoke up abruptly.

"Mom, I have something to do and need to head out in a bit."

Watching Yan Baiwei put down her phone, remove her apron, and go to wash her hands, Tao Xia asked nonchalantly.

"Are you coming back for dinner tonight?"

Yan Baiwei's movements paused, her tone slightly hesitant.

"I'm not sure yet... Mom, don't worry about cooking my portion for now."

"I'll just boil some dumplings myself when I get back."

As Yan Baiwei spoke, she suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, right, Mom. Could you get me some of the dumplings from the fridge? I'll drop some off for Supervisor Zhao on my way."

Dropping some off for Supervisor Zhao on her way?

Tao Xia narrowed her eyes.

There was only one project Supervisor Zhao was currently in charge of, and that was the villa at Boyue Mansion.

Hmm, it belonged to her daughter's old classmate, Chen Qiu.

"As expected..."

A glint of shrewdness flashed in Tao Xia's eyes as she turned to get the dumplings from the fridge.

Thinking that she might not just be giving them to Supervisor Zhao, Tao Xia prepared a bit more.

"This is so many..."

Looking at the large, full bag, Yan Baiwei was stunned.

"It's fine, you can share some with the owner,"

Tao Xia said with a grin.

As she finished speaking, she noticed her daughter's gaze instantly drift away.

"I'll see if he's there when I arrive..."

"Mom, I'm leaving now."

Watching her daughter's tall, aloof figure, a satisfied smile curled on Tao Xia's lips.

She had never opposed her daughter dating.

Instead, she had been worried that, given Yan Baiwei's personality, she would be resistant to it.

Now it seemed she had been overthinking things!

Moreover, she was dating the president of the Cultural Industry Group!

It wasn't that Tao Xia was a social climber.

But what mother-in-law wouldn't hope for her son-in-law to be an outstanding, successful young talent?

Furthermore, Chen Qiu and Yan Baiwei were old classmates with a foundation for a relationship; it was only natural for them to date!

"Everything has been getting better lately!"

Tao Xia thought, in a pleasant mood.

"However, I wonder how things are progressing between Baiwei and Chen Qiu..."

"Chen Qiu is so excellent, there must be many girls chasing him!"

"With Baiwei's cold personality, if she doesn't know how to be proactive, she'll probably end up at a disadvantage!"

Tao Xia thought, feeling a bit worried.

"I'll have to drop some hints tonight."

Just as Tao Xia sat down to continue making dumplings, she was suddenly taken aback.

Had these dumpling wrappers and filling... decreased even more than before?

...

The He Family home.

After He Yongliang, He Ting, and He Lan returned home, their expressions were all somewhat heavy.

"Dad, what should we do next?"

He Ting asked, feeling somewhat lost.

Earlier, in front of so many people, Chen Qiu had still ignored her.

He had also been cold toward He Yongliang.

"Did I completely offend him?"

He Ting said, wanting to cry but having no tears.

Now, whenever she thought of the scene where Chen Qiu was so glorious and unlimited at Grand Cloud Sky, she felt like she wanted to kill herself!

She prided herself on trying to latch onto wealthy men every day, yet she had missed out on the wealthiest one of all!

"It shouldn't be that bad."

He Yongliang shook his head.

He felt that it was more that Chen Qiu had no intention of getting involved with their family.

"Then should we give up?"

He Ting asked listlessly.

He Yongliang glared at her.

"Give up what?"

"It's not like we don't have a chance anymore!"

He Yongliang recalled some information Chen Qiu had revealed earlier: he had acquired a portion of the shares in Grand Cloud Sky...

One had to know, this was a national chain of mid-to-high-end hotels!

And judging by the attitude of that store manager, the shares Chen Qiu owned were definitely not just a small amount!

He Yongliang had just searched it up; there was the shadow of a state-owned enterprise behind this hotel...

This once again confirmed the rumors that Chen Qiu had an incredibly powerful background!

For a person of such stature, every word and action would be magnified by those below him!

Therefore, this wasn't a situation where they could just fail to curry favor and avoid Chen Qiu to be done with it.

If they didn't handle this well, let alone having no foothold in the engineering industry, they might not even have a place to stand in Gannan...

He Yongliang pondered for a moment, then suddenly spoke.

"Do you remember what Chen Qius Parents were busy arranging at noon today?"

He Lan looked up, suddenly thoughtful.

"Finding a partner for Chen Qiu?!"

He Yongliang nodded immediately.

"Exactly!"

"Judging by how eager Chen Qius Parents are, if we introduce a partner to him, I believe his parents would be happy to accept it!"

He Yongliang had thought of this roundabout way to save their situation.

He Ting, standing to the side, was dumbfounded.

"Ah, then what about me?"

He Yongliang glanced at his daughter and said calmly.

"You don't think you'd still have a chance after he found out about you and Li Cheng, do you?"

He Ting opened her mouth, her heart feeling like dead ashes.

She had actually known the answer in her heart for a long time, but women were best at fantasizing!

Even after hitting the wall many times, one would still think, what if there's a one-in-a-million chance?

"Instead of thinking about those things, you'd better think about whether there are any suitable girls you can introduce to him."

He Yongliang said to He Ting.

A number of faces immediately appeared in He Ting's mind.

She really did know quite a few pretty girls.

But the moment she thought about introducing a top-tier man like Chen Qiu to someone else, she felt even worse!

He Yongliang was in no mood to consider his daughter's emotions right now; he had thought of another key piece of information.

"Chen Qius Parents seemed to say that they are moving to a new home the day after tomorrow..."

Thinking of this, a gleam of light appeared in He Yongliang's eyes.

This was definitely first-hand information; apart from the relatives present, no one else knew about it!

Using this news to borrow someone else's power, perhaps they could repair the rift with Li Cheng!
