Chapter 53 The girl in the village rejected him.
Xiao Yingchun's smile paused slightly: "I'll ask my friend to find out."
"Okay…" Dai Hengxin did not urge her, and turned to talk about Xiaomei: he fired Xiaomei.
Xiao Yingchun and He Liangcong exchanged a glance: "She didn't do anything wrong this time?"
Dai Hengxin was embarrassed to say that Xiaomei had told his mother about it, so he had to be vague: "I don't think she is suitable…"
Fortunately, Xiaomei was originally from Dai Hengxin's pawnshop, and she was also his relative. Xiao Yingchun and He Liangcong did not understand management matters, so naturally they did not intervene.
He Liangcong was even more open-minded: "It's okay, just recruit new people before you decide to hold an auction next time."
"If it really doesn't work, outsource it to a wedding company. She is pretty and obedient…"
Dai Hengxin glared at him: Why do you always say such things? !
Fortunately, the food was served. He Liangcong chuckled, "Let's eat!"
Xiao Yingchun stepped forward and said, "I made the most money at this auction, so I'll treat you!"
Dai Hengxin calmly replied, "We agreed to treat each other. You treated me last time, so why are you here again?"
He Liangcong said, "That's right! You're talking as if Old Dai and I can't afford a meal..."
So, it was Dai Hengxin's turn to pay.
After the meal, Dai Hengxin offered Xiao Yingchun a ride.
Xiao Yingchun glanced at He Liangcong, who quickly shrank back, "I also have a date..."
Xiao Yingchun: "Okay."
As the Mazda merged into traffic, Dai Hengxin took the initiative and said, "Yingchun, I'm sorry. My mom was wrong yesterday. I told her off later..."
"She realizes she went too far, but she's too old to apologize in person because she needs to save face..."
"I apologize on behalf of my mom. Can you... forgive her?"
Xiao Yingchun glanced at Dai Hengxin, "I don't blame her."
"Huh?" Dai Hengxin didn't believe it.
Xiao Yingchun looked at the traffic ahead, her tone neither hurried nor slow, "She's your mother. She must want you to find someone better. She misunderstood our relationship, so she did that."
"From now on, as long as you don't do anything that makes her misunderstand, everything will be fine."
Dai Hengxin: "..."
What do you mean by "don't do anything that makes her misunderstand"?
Does it mean to keep your distance from each other?
Dai Hengxin flinched, subconsciously reluctant. "My mother hasn't figured it out yet, but that's because she doesn't know how good you are..."
"I think you misunderstood," Xiao Yingchun interrupted. "We're just partners. I don't need her to know how good I am."
The car stopped at a traffic light, and Xiao Yingchun turned to look at Dai Hengxin. "If you can't control your emotions, our partnership ends."
Dai Hengxin: "..."
Xiao Yingchun's expression was serious. "We're in this financial relationship. If I let any feelings get in the way, it would bother me."
"I also don't want to face your mother and sister's condescending attitude again."
"I'll make it clear again: I have no interest in you. I don't covet your family background, nor do I intend to covet your person."
"Please tell your mother and sister this."
Dai Hengxin was silent for a long moment before he sadly agreed. "Okay."
He could sense Xiao Yingchun was serious.
The rest of the drive was silent.
The car entered the villa area and stopped in front of an older villa. This was the Dai family.
Before getting off the car, Dai Hengxin said, "I'm sorry."

Xiao Yingchun chuckled, "I forgive you. It's a pleasure working with you."
Dai Hengxin got out of the car and watched Xiao Yingchun's car drive away. He stood there in a daze for a long time before turning around and heading home.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, he saw Zhao Chengfeng standing in the small garden in front of the door.
Zhao Chengfeng looked at the distraught Dai Hengxin with a sarcastic look on his face: "What? Are you heartbroken?"
Dai Hengxin remembered Xiao Yingchun's words, and couldn't help showing a sarcastic smile on his face: "We haven't even started dating, how can you be heartbroken?"
Zhao Chengfeng couldn't help saying: "She is playing hard to get!"
Dai Hengxin looked at his mother's confident face and couldn't help laughing: "She asked me to tell you: she has no interest in me, nor in our family."
"If you harass her again, her cooperation with us will end."
Zhao Chengfeng almost went crazy when he heard this: "I told you, didn't I? She used your relationship to get to know those big guys, and she planned to get rid of you! You're being used and kicked away..."
"Mom, are you done yet?!" Dai Hengxin interrupted his mother.
"What do you mean, am I done yet? Why did you fire Xiaomei? She was doing her job properly before. Her mother even called to ask about it..."
Dai Hengxin interrupted his mother again. "I paid her, and yet she's telling you all about me. Why would I keep someone like her?"
"If you like her, I'll keep her home to serve you!"
Zhao Chengfeng choked. "How do you talk to your mother like that?"
Dai Hengxin suddenly leaned against the door with his hands on his head, grumbling through his teeth, "Mom, I'm thirty years old, not thirteen! It's painful for you to control and interfere in my life like this!"
Zhao Chengfeng was horrified by Dai Hengxin's sudden embrace of his head, his expression of unbearable pain.
"My... son..."
She didn't understand. She was just concerned about her son, worried he'd be exploited or cheated. She told him to open his eyes and find a girl of equal status. How could this cause him pain?
But her son's pain didn't seem fake.
Shocked and bewildered, she finally shut up and watched her son dejectedly walk back into the house.
When she returned to the room, Dai Hengxin had already returned. Dai Jingye, who was sitting on the sofa, was reading a book with his reading glasses. Seeing that she was so distraught, he couldn't help but say something to her.
"I've already told you, our son is grown up, let him make his own decisions. Stay out of your own way..."
Zhao Chengfeng glanced at Dai Jingye indignantly. "You spend all day reading. Our son is already thirty, and you don't even bother worrying about his marriage!"
Dai Jingye disagreed. "Haven't I worried about it? How many children of the teachers at our university have we introduced to him? He doesn't like any of them!"
"How about you go on the next blind date, and if you find someone you like, buy him a rope and tie him up to carry him to the bridal chamber?"
Zhao Chengfeng choked again: "!!!"
Coming to her senses, Zhao Chengfeng rambled on, banging things around in the kitchen: "He doesn't like this one! He doesn't like that one..."
"He only likes that girl from the village! I don't know what tricks that girl used..."
Dai Jingye glanced at the kitchen and said slowly, "Aren't you from the village too? How did you marry me?"
