The Beautiful CEO's Personal Mad Doctor

Chapter 290: Chapter 290: I’m on Very Good Terms with Young Master Mei

Xiao Yating has a boyfriend?

All the sons of the old comrades showed expressions of disappointment. It was obvious that for these members of the younger generation, the biggest prize at this birthday banquet was Xiao Yating.

Xiao Yating was Xiao Ziqiang’s only daughter and was set to inherit his family business in the future.

Marrying Xiao Yating was equivalent to marrying over ten million yuan!

Only Yan Liming’s eyes flashed with a hint of smugness. He had been secretly dating Xiao Yating for two months and was about to win her over completely!

Xiao Ziqiang frowned and asked, ”Yating, who’s your boyfriend? Why have you never told your father?”

Zhou Feng also looked at her daughter with some concern. Her daughter was very naive; she hoped she hadn’t been tricked by a bad person.

Xiao Yating felt frustrated. Her father and Yan Song didn’t get along. If he found out her boyfriend was Yan Liming, he would definitely try to break them up.

Xiao Yating tried to bluff her way through it.

”Mom, Dad, I’m not a child anymore. I can make my own judgments. Don’t interfere in my affairs! I’ll tell you when our relationship is more stable.”

Xiao Ziqiang said anxiously, ”Silly child, you’re too naive, and society is too complicated! Your mother and I are worried you’ll be deceived! Hurry and tell us, what’s your boyfriend’s name?”

Cheng Hongbing, who was standing to the side, also chimed in, ”Yating, your dad has a point. Society is a mess these days, and there are too many bad people. Just tell us, and we can all help you vet him!”

Yan Song was also particularly interested in Xiao Yating. If she became his daughter-in-law, he would have financial backing when he sought to advance his own career.

”Yating, go ahead and tell us. Uncle can help you investigate his background. If there are no issues, great. If there are, you can cut your losses in time.”

With everyone pressuring her, it became unreasonable for Xiao Yating to keep it a secret any longer.

Xiao Yating glanced at Yan Liming and said helplessly, ”Uncle Yan, you don’t need to investigate. My boyfriend is Liming.”

Huh?

Everyone was stunned.

After a long moment, the atmosphere became lively again.

”Liming is only 26, but he’s already a captain in the economic investigation department. His future is limitless. He’s a rare catch!”

”Liming and Yating are a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman! They look so good together!”

”This is what you call a union of powerhouses! The futures of the deputy squad leader and President Xiao are limitless!”

”Hahaha, I support this couple! This is keeping the wealth within the family, isn’t it!”

Yan Song was beaming, and he patted Yan Liming’s shoulder in satisfaction. His expression seemed to say, ’Well done, son!’

Yan Liming was a captain in the economic investigation department of the Patrol Office branch, a bona fide leader with a bright future. Zhou Feng was quite satisfied with him; the more she looked at him, the more she liked what she saw.

”Yating, you were wrong to hide this. Liming is such an outstanding young man, what was there to hide? Your mother supports you.”

Cheng Yuan had grown up with Xiao Yating and saw her as a little sister. Hearing that she was dating Yan Liming, he immediately activated the Celestial Witch Divination Art from his Celestial Witch Inheritance and looked intently at Yan Liming, observing his facial features.

As he looked, Cheng Yuan’s gaze darkened.

Yan Liming’s mountain root was dim, his eyes were cloudy, and a faint trace of bad luck emanated from his head. Under the corrosion of this bad luck, Yan Liming’s fortune and official qi had become turbid and were on the verge of dissipating.

It was clear that Yan Liming was already entangled in misfortune. He would soon lose his position, and might even end up behind bars.

Cheng Yuan secretly resolved that he had to find a way to stop Xiao Yating and Yan Liming from being together. Otherwise, Xiao Yating would surely be implicated by him and become entangled in misfortune herself.

Listening to the flattery from everyone around him, Yan Liming felt fantastic. Zhou Feng’s approval, in particular, made him feel like he was floating on air.

Yan Liming immediately made his intentions clear to Zhou Feng. ”Aunt Zhou, I’ve liked Yating since we were kids. You can rest assured if you entrust her to me. I’ll dote on her as if she were my own daughter.”

Zhou Feng beamed with joy. Although Yan Liming wasn’t as handsome as Cheng Yuan, his future was bright. With a son-in-law like him, their family could finally hold their heads high!

”Liming, Auntie has watched you grow up. I have complete faith in your character!”

Yan Song seized the opportunity: ”Hahaha, since my dear in-laws are so satisfied with Liming, let’s settle the children’s engagement as soon as possible!”

Zhou Feng subconsciously wanted to nod and agree to the engagement, but Xiao Ziqiang, who was beside her, suddenly let out a cough.

Xiao Ziqiang deeply disliked this ”smiling tiger” Yan Song and had no desire to become his in-law. He sighed and said, ”Our Self-Improvement Decoration is at a critical, life-or-death juncture right now. I’m really not in the mood to arrange an engagement for the kids. Let’s talk about it after Self-Improvement Decoration gets through this crisis!”

Yan Song asked with a grin, ”Old Xiao, aren’t you being too modest? I heard you’ve latched onto the great tree that is the Xing’an Group. How could Self-Improvement Decoration be at a life-or-death moment?”

Xiao Ziqiang gave a bitter smile. ”It’s precisely because we latched onto the Xing’an Group that Self-Improvement Decoration is in this mess! It’s true that with them, we’re not short on work—there’s an endless stream of it every day. But their payment cycle is too long; they’ve been holding our payments for a full eight months! The bank is also calling in our loans. If we can’t get through this, I’m afraid Self-Improvement Decoration will be liquidated for bankruptcy by the bank.”

Xing’an Group?

The corners of Cheng Yuan’s mouth turned up slightly. ’What a coincidence,’ he thought. His relationship with Mei Xing’an was quite good. If he were to put in a word, Mei Xing’an would definitely be happy to settle the payment early, and Self-Improvement Decoration’s predicament would be perfectly resolved.

Cheng Hongbing and Xiao Ziqiang were very good friends. Extremely worried about Xiao Ziqiang’s situation, he turned to look at Yan Song with a questioning gaze.

”Old Yan, you have some pull in Luocheng, right? You must know President Mei? Can you put in a good word for Ziqiang and ask President Mei to settle the payment a bit early?”

Yan Song felt a headache coming on. He did know Mei Xing’an, but Mei Xing’an only associated with the top leaders of Luocheng. In front of Mei Xing’an, he had no standing to speak at all!

”I do know President Mei, but I’m afraid I don’t have that much clout. A company as large as Xing’an Group certainly has its own rules. I suggest President Xiao try to find a solution elsewhere.”

Xiao Ziqiang rubbed his temples in frustration. He had already thought of every possible solution, short of taking out a high-interest loan!

’If it really comes to it,’ he thought, ’I’ll try contacting a payday loan company.’

Yan Liming knew that Xiao Ziqiang wasn’t entirely in favor of his relationship with Xiao Yating. Wanting to make a good impression, Yan Liming puffed out his chest and declared, ”Uncle Xiao, I’m on great terms with Young Master Mei. I’ll go ask him for a favor. I’m sure Xing’an Group can settle the payment early.”

Hearing this, Xiao Ziqiang was overjoyed. He knew very well that Mei Chao had already begun to take over the affairs of the Xing’an Group. If Mei Chao agreed, Self-Improvement Decoration’s crisis would be smoothly resolved!

”Liming, if you can solve this crisis for Self-Improvement Decoration, I won’t ask for a single cent of a bride price! I’ll even give you a house and a car as part of the dowry!”
