La forgeronne d'un autre monde

Chapitre 368

"Hmph!" Li Xiyue's cousin snorted coldly and walked forward with his nose in the air.

"Mom!! Look at my cousin's attitude!" Li Xiyue shook her mother's arm and complained.

"Sigh! That's just how your brother Hao is. Just remember it's for your own good!" Li's mother patted Li Xiyue's head and tried to smooth things over.

"Hmph! I think he's just doing this for his own selfish interests! I don't like the person he introduced me to at all! Besides, I'm already Teng Ge's woman..." Li Xiyue said, blushing as she counted on her fingers.

"Alright, alright... If you don't like it, you don't like it! I also think Yun Teng is a good kid. You figure out how to talk to your cousin yourself! With his temper, I can't reason with him!"

Li's mother had heard Li Xiyue mention Ma Yunteng before, but Li Xiyue only briefly told her that Ma Yunteng ran an internet cafe.

Li Xiyue comes from a rural family, and her parents have traditional rural values. When they heard that she ran an internet cafe, they didn't exactly hate her, but they certainly didn't like her either. However, Li Xiyue's mother has always been very respectful of her feelings.

"Auntie, you must be tired from the journey. Let me take you to eat first!" Ma Yunteng checked the time; it was lunchtime.

"No need for that! Just buy some groceries from the roadside later, and I'll cook for you!" Li Xiyue had called several times wanting to eat her cooking, so she planned to buy some groceries and bring them to Li Xiyue's place to cook for her herself.

"Mom, your cooking is the best!" Li Xiyue said happily. No matter how many delicious foods are available outside, none can compare to the food cooked by her parents.

“Xiyue, Auntie must have had a long and tiring journey. How can we let her cook for us? Listen to me, let’s eat lunch out and have dinner at home. I’ll cook for Auntie!” Ma Yunteng said with a smile.

"Well... thank you for your help!" Li's mother said politely.

"It's no trouble at all, it's what the younger generation should do!" Ma Yunteng smiled slightly, then led the two towards the station entrance.

Li Xiyue's cousin, Chen Hao, was already waiting anxiously at the door. His purpose in coming here was to persuade Li Xiyue to break up with Ma Yunteng. After seeing Ma Yunteng's attire and the cigarettes he was smoking, his determination was strengthened once again!

"Hmph! A toad trying to eat swan meat? With me here, you can forget about it!" Chen Hao's lips curled up slightly, and he gave Ma Yunteng a disdainful look.

"Brother Hao, right? Here, have a smoke. The taxi won't be here for a while!" Ma Yunteng thought for a moment, and out of courtesy, he still had to call him Brother Hao. He didn't want Li's mother to think he was a petty man!

taxi!

Upon hearing the word "taxi," Chen Hao's face immediately darkened!

"I, Chen Hao, earn over a million yuan a year, would never smoke such cheap cigarettes!" Chen Hao said disdainfully, turning his head away. After all, he was a top-notch bodyguard who usually protected big bosses, and the cheapest cigarettes he smoked were Zhonghua cigarettes that cost over eighty yuan a pack!

"Um! Is this cigarette any good? I'm smoking it for the nostalgia!"

Ma Yunteng wasn't angry at all. Instead, he looked at him seriously with a smile and said, "Look, as long as it's lit, it can still smoke!"

Ma Yunteng's words sounded like those of a complete country bumpkin.

A dark glint suddenly flashed in Chen Hao's eyes!

------------

Chapter 261 Bring me a hundred bottles first.

From the moment Chen Hao first saw Ma Yunteng, he didn't think much of him. After all, the people he dealt with were all big bosses, and ordinary people simply didn't catch his eye.

Not to mention how unsophisticated Ma Yunteng was.

If Li's mother hadn't been there, he would have definitely challenged Ma Yunteng to a duel right now, to show him that he was not worthy of Li Xiyue.

However, he held back.

Chen Hao's current idea is that since the other party is a bumpkin, what he needs to do is to expose the true nature of the bumpkin and let Li Xiyue see clearly who is the one who is truly worthy of her.

"Hmph, he doesn't even have a car, and he still has the nerve to be with my cousin." Chen Hao deliberately walked up to Li Xiyue and her daughter, and said with disdain.

The voice was very sharp and sarcastic, like a wronged woman complaining.

"Cousin, it's not what you think."

Li Xiyue wanted to explain, but before she could finish speaking, her mother interrupted her.

"Xiao Hao, how can you talk like that?" Li's mother glared at him. To be honest, Li's mother had a very good impression of Ma Yunteng, especially after actually meeting him today. She felt that he was more stable and mature than she had imagined.

"So poor they can't even be criticized? Haha."

Chen Hao looked at the mother and daughter with disdain: "My cousin is a famous internet celebrity now. You wouldn't dare to be with my cousin if you didn't have at least tens of millions in assets! On another note, it's one thing to be poor, but he doesn't even have a basic means of transportation. Tsk tsk."

Someone like Chen Hao, who is often out and about, can tell a lot about someone's economic status at a glance. Most of the wealthy people he has met are bosses with tens of millions in assets. Most of those people are very high-profile. Even if they are low-profile, they will definitely have some recognizable features, such as wearing a luxury watch or wearing understated but extremely expensive clothes.

However, Ma Yunteng's outfit, dressed in cheap clothes, definitely couldn't have cost more than two hundred yuan.

Moreover, Ma Yunteng smokes Double Happiness cigarettes, and according to Ma Yunteng, he has been smoking them for four or five years.

The meaning was crystal clear to Chen Hao: the other party had been poor for four or five years and was still poor!

“Cousin, it’s not what you think! I guarantee that Brother Teng is a thousand times better than that boss you’re talking about!” Li Xiyue almost jumped up in anxiety. She felt that her cousin’s misunderstanding of Ma Yunteng was too deep.

In Northumbria III, even Ma Yunteng's servants drive supercars, and Ma Yunteng himself often uses a private jet for transportation... but her cousin actually thought that Ma Yunteng didn't even own a car.

Li Xiyue was already imagining whether her cousin would be terrified when he saw that garage full of sports cars...

"Heh, a thousand times better than my boss? Xi Yue, a few sweet words from others have made you dizzy and confused. You think he's good because you haven't met a truly outstanding man. My boss's net worth is already over a hundred million. What about him? Hmm?" Chen Hao said, looking at the mother and daughter with a smirk.

"Hmph!" Li Xiyue wanted to explain, but she saw Ma Yunteng standing not far away, smiling and shaking his head at her, meaning that she should not tell the truth yet.

The system task Ma Yunteng received this time was enough to terrify Chen Hao.

If we reveal everything to Chen Hao now, how can we scare him to death?

"Alright, everyone, say no more. Let's go eat first. Is the car here?" Li's mother saw a taxi parked on the side of the road and kept honking its horn at them.
