Chapter 1159: Attempting To Change the Heir (3)
“Eric?” Huang Ying frowned, having no clue who he was. “Who are you? I don’t know you!”
Xu Cheng was standing close by when Huang Ying said Eric’s name. Her eyes brightened, and she grabbed Huang Ying’s phone. “Is that you, Eric?”
There were a few seconds of silence from the other side of the phone. “Xu Cheng?”
“Yes! It’s me! Why haven’t you contacted me or picked up any of my calls?” Xu Cheng asked impatiently. She needed to know the answer now, and she needed to know right now.
However, Eric had no intention of spending any more time trying to romance her. “Please pass the phone to Ms. Huang Ying. I need to speak to her urgently!”
Xu Cheng froze for a moment. “What business do you have with my mom?”
“Ms. Huang Ying is your mother?” Eric asked, in shock.
“That’s right, she’s my mom!” Xu Cheng obviously wasn’t thinking the same thing as Eric. “You haven’t answered me. Why haven’t you been answering any of my calls?”
There was another period of silence on the other end of the call. Just when Xu Cheng was about to lose her patience, Eric’s voice came through the phone. “How about this, Miss Xu Cheng. Let’s meet up. There’s something that I would like to discuss with you.”
“Sure. Let’s meet up!” Upon hearing that Eric wanted to meet her, Xu Cheng was thrilled.
“Please bring your mother, Ms. Huang Ying, as well,” Eric said. This was what he actually wanted; he had no interest in seeing Xu Cheng.
“My mom?” Xu Cheng was puzzled. “This is about the two of us. Why do I need to bring my mom?”
Eric didn’t want to explain all of this to Xu Cheng over the phone. This was something he needed to discuss with Huang Ying in person. “I’ll explain when we meet. Please bring your mother. We’ll meet in the café that we went to before.”
Eric hung up, leaving Xu Cheng no time to ask more questions.
“Who’s that Eric?” Huang Ying asked with curiosity. Apparently, her daughter knew this man. “Was he looking for you? Why did he call my number instead?”
Xu Cheng was feeling both confused and thrilled. After all, Eric had finally contacted her. They could finally meet.
“Mom, go change now. I’m taking you to meet someone,” Xu Cheng said excitedly.
“Who? This Eric?” Huang Ying asked.
“Yes.” Xu Cheng dragged Huang Ying toward the bedroom.
“What’s his relationship with you? Is he your boyfriend?” Xu Cheng wasn’t that young anymore, so Huang Ying was quite pleased with the idea that she had found a boyfriend. But only if he was outstanding and brilliant. Otherwise, how could he be good enough for her daughter?
“Sort of. He probably wants to meet my family. That’s why he said he wanted me to bring you,” Xu Cheng said, making a bold assumption. She took Huang Ying to the room, opened her closet, and started to pick out clothes for Huang Ying. “Mom, I really like this one. Behave yourself today.”
“What do you mean? I need to have a good look at him, at least. See what he’s like. Then I can decide if I approve of him.” Despite her dour tone, Huang Ying was looking forward to meeting with Eric.
“He’s a nice person. He’s handsome, with a great education and a fantastic job! He’s gentle and funny! Anyway, everything about him is perfect! You’ll see soon!” Xu Cheng helped Huang Ying pick out an outfit and put on natural-looking makeup. Then, they both sneaked out of the house without the old lady noticing.
