Chapter 429: Saved by a fierce and rough boss
He looked at Lu Zhenting with a half-smile and said slowly: "There is one thing I think you are mistaken about. Yangyang never needed to ask me if I was willing to marry her. Instead, I should ask her when she is willing to marry me."
"You..." Lu Zhenting looked at Cheng Zheng with disbelief on his face. After a long while, he snorted coldly, "Everyone can open their mouths, but you're only saying nice things now. If your family knew what happened before, would they agree to you marrying someone like this?"
After saying this, the expression on Cheng Zheng's face became visibly gloomy, and a hint of chill surrounded his entire body.
Even Lu Zhenting's cousin noticed something was wrong and quickly tugged at his sleeve, whispering, "Cousin, let's go."
Lu Zhenting looked up and saw Cheng Zheng's expression. He suddenly felt a pang of fear, so he glanced sideways and said, "Let's go."
However, as he took a step forward, he heard Cheng Zheng say, "Wait a minute."
Hearing this, Lu Zhenting paused subconsciously, raised his eyes and asked in a stern tone, "What for?"
Cheng Zheng looked at Lu Zhenting in front of him and said in a light tone, "You want to leave without apologizing?"
"Apologize? What did I do wrong?" Lu Zhenting raised his chin, seeming to be very disdainful of Cheng Zheng's request.
"You insulted her again and again, blaming the pain she'd suffered on herself. Do you think what you said was right?"
Cheng Zheng spoke each word very slowly, but the rhetorical question at the end of the sentence was so chilling that Lu Zhenting subconsciously shuddered inwardly.
The cousin who had just been shocked by Cheng Zheng's appearance beside Lu Zhenting was now intimidated by Cheng Zheng's aura and didn't dare to raise her eyes to peek at him. She tugged at Lu Zhenting's sleeve and whispered, "Cousin, why don't you just apologize? Then let's go!"
Lu Zhenting's face looked extremely ugly at the moment. He felt that he had done nothing wrong. In his eyes, Wen Yang was just a person who liked to curry favor with the powerful. He listened to his mother and did not continue the relationship with Wen Yang. It was indeed the right decision.
However, Wen Yang used this incident as an excuse to label him a "mama's boy". Even if an apology is due, it should be Wen Yang who apologizes to him!
Thinking of this, Lu Zhenting became more and more dissatisfied, but he did not dare to refute Cheng Zheng. Instead, he prepared to turn around and leave.
However, the moment he passed by Cheng Zheng, he heard Cheng Zheng's leisurely voice coming from his ears.
"You better think carefully before you leave, otherwise I can't guarantee what will happen to you later."
If someone else had said such a groundless threat, he would not have taken it seriously at all.
But for some reason, when Cheng Zheng said this, he inexplicably felt a little fear in his heart.
Someone like Cheng Zheng who can afford a car must have a lot of connections behind him.
Lu Zhenting paused, but finally gave in.
He turned around and muttered quietly, "I'm sorry."
"Louder your voice! Have you not eaten all day today?" Cheng Zheng frowned impatiently.
"I'm sorry!" Lu Zhenting gritted his teeth and shouted loudly. He then looked at Cheng Zheng and asked, "Is it okay, Mr. Cheng?"
Cheng Zheng lowered his eyes and looked at Wen Yang who was standing beside him, and asked in a gentle voice: "How is it, do you think it's okay?"
Wen Yang nodded. Seeing Lu Zhenting's reluctant apology, she felt that the grievance she had suffered earlier had mostly disappeared. So she smiled and replied, "It's okay, it's okay. I didn't intend to argue with him that much."
"You don't care about him, but you are generous. He insulted you in front of me, and I can't help but care about him. But since you think it's okay now, let it go." After saying this, Cheng Zheng glanced at Lu Zhenting and replied in a light tone: "You can go."
But to Lu Zhenting, these words sounded like, "Get lost."
His face turned pale and blue, but he could only clench his fists and dared not to lose his temper. In the end, he could only grit his teeth and go back to the private room without saying a word.
Seeing Lu Zhenting leave, Wen Yang and Cheng Zheng also came to the hotel entrance to wait for Wen Minfang and Yao Xing.
After a while, Zhou Jun came with two people.
Wen Minfang and Yao Xing both looked flattered at this moment.
As soon as they returned home, they saw Zhou Jun standing at their door. They were wondering what had happened when they heard Zhou Jun say that Mr. Cheng had booked a private room at Xunyang Impression and wanted to invite them to have dinner together.
Wen Minfang originally wanted to refuse. After all, she knew that Cheng Zheng was going to have a formal dinner with Wen Tuqiang and Zhao Lifang today, and as his aunt, she felt embarrassed to go over.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Zheng would specially send someone to wait at her door to invite her, and Zhou Jun also said that Cheng Zheng really wanted to invite them to go together, and said that he was very grateful for their daily care for Wen Yang, and asked them to be sure to attend in the evening.
With such a sincere invitation, Wen Minfang completely let go of her psychological burden and happily went to Xunyang Impression with Yao Xing.
After they arrived, Cheng Zheng and Wen Yang immediately took them into the private room.
With the addition of Wen Minfang and Yao Xing, the originally slightly empty private room immediately became lively.
After the two of them sat down next to Wen Tuqiang and Zhao Lifang, Wen Yang and Cheng Zheng also found a suitable seat and sat down.
Cheng Zheng picked up the menu and handed it to Wen Tuqiang and Zhao Lifang. "Uncle and aunt, please take a look at what you want to eat. Here are some of the restaurant's signature dishes."
Zhao Lifang took the menu and looked at the densely packed words, and couldn't help but frown.
Wen Tuqiang also looked at it for a long time but couldn't figure out what it meant. He didn't recognize many of the small words on it.
Wen Yang realized that her parents didn't know many words, so it was a bit difficult for her to order food. But just as she was about to open her mouth to take the menu, Cheng Zheng spoke first.
"Uncle and aunt, this is your first time here, so they probably don't know what dishes are delicious here. If you trust me, why not tell me your tastes and favorite ingredients, and I'll make recommendations."
Wen Yang looked at Cheng Zheng beside her in surprise. She was sure that Cheng Zheng had just noticed that her parents were illiterate, but Cheng Zheng did not say it out loud. Instead, he used a less awkward way to recommend dishes to her parents.
She looked at Cheng Zheng's profile, a touch of emotion showing on her face.
Wen Tuqiang and Zhao Lifang also held the menus in their hands and looked at each other. The awkwardness that had just appeared on their faces disappeared after Cheng Zheng's words.
Zhao Lifang smiled and said, "We don't have any special tastes. We eat everything. We're not picky."
Wen Tuqiang nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, yes, anything is fine."
"Uncle and aunt, you don't have to be polite to me. You can tell me anything you like. You are the most important guests today and you can't treat them casually."
With Cheng Zheng's insistence, the two finally boldly expressed their true tastes, and then ordered a few signature dishes according to Cheng Zheng's recommendations.
Then Cheng Zheng asked Wen Minfang and Yao Xing to order some of their favorite dishes. Finally, he reached out to take the menu and quietly asked Wen Yang, who was sitting next to him, what he wanted to eat today.
After ordering the dishes, Zhou Jun happened to walk into the private room carrying two large bags.
Cheng Zheng pointed to an empty space behind him and said, "Put the things here. And help me give the menu to the waiter outside. Thank you for your hard work."
Zhou Jun put down his things, reached out to take the menu, nodded, and went out, thoughtfully closing the door when he left.
