Chapter 1160: Attempting To Change the Heir (4)

Eric chose to sit in a secluded corner of the caf. He might have been acting a little paranoid, but he didnt want to be seen by many people. Even though no one in this caf knew him.

Eric glanced at his wrist.w.a.tch. Apparently, Xu Cheng and Huang Ying were late. Lateness was intolerable for someone like Eric, who had always put punctuality above all else.

However, Eric warned himself, he had to put up with it today. He had to put up with everything that they did. He couldnt get angry with Xu Cheng. How things went would depend on Xu Cheng and Huang Ying. He couldnt afford to upset them.

Xu Chengs voice came from the front door of the cafe. Mom, hurry up!

When he heard Xu Chengs voice, Eric stood up immediately so that Xu Cheng could see him.

This was the first time Xu Cheng had seen Erics face in days. Thrilled, she let go of Huang Yings hand and ran off to Eric.

Huang Ying was left at the door. She looked in Erics direction.

The man was wearing a trim luxury suit and black-framed gla.s.ses. His beautiful wrist.w.a.tch looked pricy as well.

As for his looks, he appeared to be somewhat older than Xu Cheng, but an older man could take good care of her daughter. In Huang Yings mind, that was actually a point in his favor.

Overall, Huang Yings first impression of Eric was pretty good.

Xu Cheng ran toward Erics table, and her eyes lit up as they locked on the man in front of her. However, Xu Cheng noticed that he wasnt looking back at her. Instead, he was looking behind her.

What are you looking at? Xu Cheng complained in displeasure. Im right here!

Eric nodded to her in response. Xu Cheng, wheres your mother?

Xu Cheng blushed, secretly thrilled by this. She hadnt known that Eric was so eager to meet her parents.

Therefore, Xu Cheng turned around and waved to Huang Ying. Mom, hurry up!

Im coming. Whats the hurry? Huang Ying walked a bit faster as she came up to the table.

Seeing Huang Ying, Eric suppressed his excitement and rising tension as he pointed to the seat across from him. Please have a seat, Ms. Huang.

Hearing Eric call her Ms. Huang, Huang Ying frowned consciously.

This man was supposed to be in a relations.h.i.+p with her daughter. He should have called her Aunty or Aunt Huang. What was with this Ms. Huang?

Xu Cheng didnt think twice about it. She dropped into the seat next to Eric immediately.

Erics eyes were fixed on Huang Ying. Huang Ying was puzzled, so she asked straightaway, So you are Eric? My daughters boyfriend?

At that, Xu Cheng blushed and looked to Huang Ying immediately.

Eric had never confessed his feelings to her. Their relations.h.i.+p was still at the stage where they were just talking and having dinner, though Xu Cheng did believe that it would take only one small step for them to be a couple.

However, Eric hadnt been willing to take that step, and he had gone days without contacting her. Xu Cheng believed that there were some things that she, as a girl, shouldnt have to say.

Now that Huang Ying had said it out loud, Xu Cheng was somewhat embarra.s.sed.

Boyfriend? Eric paused for a minute and glanced at Xu Cheng, who was turning crimson. Then he turned back to Huang Ying again. Actually, I wanted to meet with you today, Ms. Huang.

Since you are dating my daughter, call me Aunty. Whats with Ms. Huang? Huang Ying said in irritation.

Eric kept his face carefully neutral. Theres something I wanted to ask you. Over twenty years ago, did you buy a baby girl from traffickers?
