However, one factor should be considered: his daughter, Vivienne, is indeed naturally beautiful and may be able to find a wealthy husband. Therefore, Fei Xiangde has high expectations for Lin Yao.
As for Liu Weiyi, he is the deputy general manager of his son Fei Jun's company, earning an annual salary of three to four hundred thousand yuan. He comes from a very good family. These are all real facts, so Fei Xiangde is unwilling to give up. He simply decides to see how things develop and get both of them drunk today. Drunk men are more impulsive when they see women, which can also ease the awkward atmosphere of this blind date.
Fei Xiangde had a good plan in mind. He winked at his son, Fei Jun, to join in the drinking. The father and son raised their glasses frequently, and before long, three bottles of Wuliangye were empty. They had also drunk more than half of the fourth bottle. The atmosphere at the dinner table was very harmonious, as if they were a real family having a meal together.
Felix was annoyed as she helped Lin Yao set out the dishes, wondering what her father and brother were up to. Liu Weiyi, who should have been angry and left, was maintaining his composure and hadn't mentioned the blind date at all. However, the occasional lecherous glances he gave her betrayed his true intentions. Although Liu Weiyi hid it well, Felix, who was used to seeing men, could tell from the corner of her eye that this guy was after her.
Liu Weiyi didn't leave; things had progressed beyond Fei Wenni's expectations.
Liu Weiyi was very polite and skilled in conversation. His father and brother hadn't mentioned the blind date at all, which was beyond Fei Wenni's expectations. She had originally wanted to bring up the matter and make Liu Weiyi leave in embarrassment and anger, but now he was just attending the family dinner as a friend. Her "boyfriend" Lin Yaocai was the one who suddenly appeared, all of which made it difficult for her to continue directing the subsequent plot.
Wuliangye tastes good, but Lin Yao prefers Moutai because of the different levels of blending. Moutai's numerous processes, starting with steaming the grains, require about two years of traditional craftsmanship, which alone justifies its title as the national liquor. As for other liquors, most can be produced in one or two months, and some are even made by blending edible alcohol and flavorings, requiring only one day to produce.
The more they drank, the better the atmosphere became. All the wine Lin Yao drank was processed by his medical qi. He couldn't afford to be confused at this point, or he would definitely give himself away.
By carefully observing the expressions, actions, and words of Vivienne's parents and brother, Lin Yao gained some experience and felt confident that he would be able to win over his parents-in-law when they faced a real battle in the future.
As Lin Yao's mood improved and his mindset became more relaxed, he began to fight back, repeatedly questioning Liu Weiyi about his affairs. This caused the vice general manager, who was somewhat tipsy, to reveal a lot of secrets, including his relationship with the chairman of his company and the fact that his annual income was around 600,000 yuan instead of the officially stated 360,000 yuan. All of this was made known to the others at the dinner table.
"Ding-dong~~~"
The doorbell rang, and the diligent Mrs. Fei got up to open the door.
"Mom, I brought you bird's nest. Here's another portion that's been steamed. Eat it now."
A woman's voice, which sounded somewhat similar to Fei's mother's but was very stiff and awkward, rang out. Lin Yao felt that it was somewhat familiar, and wondered if it was because the son-in-law was in a good mood and thought that he recognized a woman just because he heard her speaking? He had absolutely no intention of becoming this family's son-in-law.
The entrance hall was a bit far from the small dining room. Liu Weiyi was rambling on and on, assuring Fei Jun that he would take care of him at the company in the future. He also kept glancing at Fei Wenni beside him. Fei Xiangde, the parent, picked up his wine glass and wanted Lin Yao to drink with him. So, apart from Lin Yao, who had a keen sense of hearing, no one knew who had come.
Seeing Lin Yao pause, Fei Xiangde turned his head and called out towards the door, "Who is it?"
"Oh, it's Sasha, she brought bird's nest." Fei's mother's voice was full of joy.
Lin Yao thought to himself, "That's right. I've never heard of her before, and this is in the capital. I don't know many women. That must have been an illusion."
"Sasha..." Fei Xiangde wanted to ask his wife to invite people in for dinner, but when he caught a glimpse of Liu Weiyi, who was arm in arm with his son Fei Jun, and then noticed Lin Yao turning his head toward the door, he immediately gave up the idea of inviting people in, lest his two sons-in-law be lured away.
"Mom, Uncle Fei is home. I'll come see you another day." The woman's voice, with its broken dialect, rang out again. Lin Yao could hear a hint of panic in her voice, followed by the rustling sound of her newly changed shoes being put back on.
"Sasha? Oh, Sasha, come quick! Let's eat together. It's been so long since I've seen you." With her sharp ears, Vivienne immediately jumped up from her chair, turned the corner, and rushed towards the entrance.
Vivienne wished a woman would distract Liu Weiyi right now, so she wouldn't have to go on a blind date with him.
Lin Yao's affair can no longer be concealed. It will probably be exposed tomorrow or this afternoon. Originally, Lin Yao was only brought in temporarily to attack Liu Weiyi, but so many things have happened unexpectedly.
Although Vivienne didn't like Sasha, it was clear that Sasha was the perfect target for distraction at this moment. She certainly didn't believe Sasha would date Liu Weiyi, but as long as Liu Weiyi was being attentive to another girl this time, she could use his womanizing as an excuse later, and she could stay out of it.
Fei Wenni agreed with her father Fei Xiangde and brother Fei Jun's views. She did want to find a man with wealth and family background, but Liu Weiyi's situation did not meet her standards, not to mention that Liu Weiyi's personal appearance looked very shabby.
Fei Xiangde put down his wine glass, his expression somewhat displeased. He quickly glanced at Lin Yao and Liu Weiyi, and when he noticed that Lin Yao was staring in the direction of Xuanmen, his face became even more gloomy.
A pink figure appeared around the corner. She was still wearing a pink sweater, with a beige woolen trench coat over it, and long hair cascading down her shoulders. It was Xia Yuwen!
Xia Yuwen?
Xia Yuwen!!!
Lin Yao was so shocked that he lost his ability to think. He stared blankly at Xia Yuwen's face, feeling as if he was about to stop breathing.
What exactly happened?
Why is Xia Yuwen here?
When did she change her name to Sasha?
A series of questions popped into Lin Yao's mind, and his usual composure vanished, his mouth agape, wide enough to fit a walnut.
"Ah~" Xia Yuwen was also shocked by Lin Yao's sudden appearance in front of her. She let out a short gasp, raised her hand to cover her mouth, and stared blankly at Lin Yao.
How did he end up here? How did he end up in Beijing? Could they be two people who look very alike?
No! It must be Lin Yao!
Xia Yuwen instantly confirmed her judgment; she was absolutely certain she hadn't mistaken him for someone else. Moreover, the other person's almost stunned expression of surprise confirmed that he was indeed Lin Yao, because only someone with the exact same level of shock as herself would have such an expression.
But what is he doing here?
He had previously said he had no relatives in Beijing, and that he had only been to Beijing twice. The first time was a brief visit, and the second time he only stayed for a few days. He didn't even have any friends there. How did he suddenly appear at his mother's house?!
The two stood there, their eyes locked, time seeming to pass both quickly and slowly, until Fei Wenni, standing behind Xia Yuwen, pushed her and broke the silence.
"Sasha, what are you daydreaming about? Let's eat together." Fei Wenni came up from behind, not noticing Xia Yuwen's expression, and pushed her shoulder, causing the unsuspecting Xia Yuwen to stagger and almost lose her balance.
"Sasha's here! Come and eat. Let your mom heat up the food." Fei Xiangde's face showed a warm smile, looking at Xia Yuwen like a loving father. His tone was also very gentle, and his sharp voice was slightly less jarring.
"Sasha." Fei Jun turned his head to greet her, then immediately turned back to Liu Weiyi. Seeing that Liu Weiyi wanted to turn his head to look at him, he quickly tightened his grip on Liu Weiyi's shoulder, forcing him not to turn his head. His brows furrowed instantly, as if he was very unhappy.
Fei Jun was genuinely unhappy. Today's blind date could have brought him great benefits, and the position of department manager seemed within his grasp, but Lin Yao suddenly appeared out of nowhere, posing as his sister Xia Wenni's boyfriend.
It was only with great difficulty that Deputy General Manager Liu finally let go of his displeasure and agreed to continue pursuing his sister Xia Wenni, but then an even more stunning beauty appeared. Wasn't this just deliberately sabotaging Fei Jun?
This world is really damn annoying! Fei Jun's good mood vanished instantly.
"Come, Sasha, sit next to me, let me introduce you." Fei Wenni warmly pulled Xia Yuwen to sit next to her, right to Liu Weiyi's left. "This is Lin Yao, my boyfriend, and this is Liu Weiyi, the vice president of Feiyue Technology. He's young and promising, and doesn't have a girlfriend yet."
Xia Yuwen's heart skipped a beat. She stared wide-eyed at Lin Yao, thinking, "How could he be Fei Wenni's boyfriend? How could that be?!"
Lin Yao felt hot all over and extremely irritable. He was pretending to be someone's boyfriend, but he ran into an acquaintance, a girl he used to like. Even though he had decided not to consider her anymore, seeing her in this situation was still very awkward and uncomfortable.
