After Liu Chenglong and Hong Sanjin arrived in Cangshan City, the beautiful Su Luoxue accompanied them for dinner. After finishing, Liu Chenglong asked Hong Sanjin to settle down in the hotel first, and he accompanied Su Luoxue to the Su family.

When Liu Chenglong saw that there were armed police officers standing guard at the entrance of the Su family's community, he was taken aback for a moment. However, fortunately, he had seen such situations many times and did not pay much attention at that time.

The Su family's house is a two-story villa. When they reached the entrance of the villa, Su Luoxue reached out and grabbed Liu Chenglong's arm, then rang the doorbell.

Quickly, a nanny walked over and opened the door. Su Luoxue took Liu Chenglong's arm and walked into the living room.

In the living room, Su Haodong, the father of Su Luoxue, was chatting with a young man. The two seemed to be chatting very happily, occasionally emitting bursts of laughter.

When Su Luoxue walked into the living room holding Liu Chenglong's arm, Su Haodong and the young people next to him all looked over, because for them, the protagonist tonight was Su Luoxue. But no one expected that Su Luoxue would walk into the living room holding the hand of a very handsome and tall man.

The atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

Su Luoxue didn't actually tell Liu Chenglong that his father Su Haodong's real identity was the deputy mayor of Cangshan City, and the man who came to his house to propose marriage was called Zou Wenchao, the only son of Zou Haipeng, the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee. In fact, even Su Luoxue didn't know that Su Haodong was trying his best to match Su Luoxue and Zou Wenchao because Su Haodong was currently actively preparing to enter the Cangshan City Standing Committee. His competitors were very strong or had backgrounds, and the only one he could establish a relationship with was Zou Haipeng, the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee. They were once classmates of the party school, but in order to strive for normalcy, this relationship was the only one. It's definitely not enough, and coincidentally, Zou Wenchao grew up with Su Luoxue from a young age and really liked her. Therefore, for the sake of his own future, Su Haodong is very supportive of matching Su Luoxue and Zou Wenchao to get married.

However, neither Su Haodong nor Zou Wenchao expected that at their carefully prepared blind date meeting, Su Luoxue would actually bring Liu Chenglong back.

At this moment, both Su Haodong and Zou Wenchao's faces appeared somewhat awkward, and there was a hint of anger in their hearts.

At this moment, Su Luoxue smiled and said, "Dad, let me introduce you. This person next to me is my boyfriend Liu Chenglong." She then looked at Liu Chenglong and said, "Brother Liu, let me introduce him to you. He is my dad, and the person next to him is Zou Wenchao, who lives in one of our large courtyards."

Liu Chenglong had already noticed that since he entered the house, Su Luoxue's father and Zou Wenchao had looked at him with a hint of hostility and dissatisfaction in their eyes. Although Su Luoxue's father had covered it up very well, how could he hide it from Liu Chenglong, who had been on the battlefield for a long time. However, in order to save face for Su Luoxue, Liu Chenglong pretended not to have seen anything and smiled as he reached out to Su Haodong, saying, "Hello Uncle, I am Liu Chenglong."

Su Haodong only lightly touched Liu Chenglong's hand and then extended it back, showing his contempt for Liu Chenglong without a doubt. Liu Chenglong's eyebrows were clearly raised, and there was a hint of anger in his heart. However, he was still holding back, after all, this time he was helping Su Luoxue as a shield and could not harm others.

Liu Chenglong withdrew his hand and did not reach out to Zou Wenchao. He just nodded lightly at him and then stood there silently, no longer speaking. As the son of the Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Zou Wenchao naturally looked down on Liu Chenglong, a guy who jumped out of nowhere. He nodded as if he hadn't seen Liu Chenglong's gesture and took a sip from the water glass on the table.

The atmosphere became solemn again.

At this point, Su Haodong knew that he couldn't let the atmosphere continue to be so awkward, especially now that Zou Wenchao was clearly interested in his daughter, but her daughter didn't like him. He had to solve this problem as soon as possible. Otherwise, if he lost the support of the Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Zou Haipeng, his plan to join the Cangshan City Standing Committee would probably fall through. In the officialdom, one falls behind step by step, especially this time when the opponent competing with oneself as a standing committee member or vice mayor is still one's own enemy. If the other party succeeds, then one's future career will be difficult.

Thinking of this, Su Haodong gave Liu Chenglong a cold glance, his face looking very y ī N sink. At this moment, he was very dissatisfied with his daughter. He didn't expect her to dislike Zou Wenchao so much, which made him feel very embarrassed. But he's an old rascal ā The cunning generation of n naturally cannot say anything in front of Zou Wenchao and Liu Chenglong. He needs to take care of his daughter's face. In order to break the awkward atmosphere in front of him, Su Haodong looked at Su Luoxue and said, "Luoxue, come in and chat with your mother. I'll talk to Xiaoliu."

Su Luoxue knew that her father always said nothing at home, so she could only give Liu Chenglong a hopeful look and then walked into the room.

After Su Luoxue entered, Su Haodong gave Liu Chenglong a cold glance, but did not speak. The atmosphere was very dull, and Zou Wenchao could naturally see clearly beside him. He knew that Su Haodong was giving Liu Chenglong a face, and he no longer spoke.

However, at this moment, Liu Chenglong appeared very calm because he was here to help Su Luoxue act as a shield. He was really not interested in Su Haodong's daughter, so he didn't need to look at his face. For Liu Chenglong, even if he was interested in his daughter, he wouldn't look at his face.

At this moment, Su Haodong gave Zou Wenchao a meaningful glance, and then glanced at Liu Chenglong with his eyes. Zou Wenchao was overjoyed at the sight. As a member of the officialdom and the son of the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, his ability to observe words and expressions was naturally very clever. Although Su Haodong didn't say a word, Zou Wenchao understood the meaning of Su Haodong's gaze. He smiled and looked at Liu Chenglong, saying, "Xiao Liu, where are you?" As he spoke, a commanding aura emanated.

This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

Liu Chenglong smiled faintly and said, "I am just a small civil servant who has just been transferred from the military to work in Jinglin County."

Upon hearing Liu Chenglong's words, Zou Wenchao's expression became even more arrogant. He is now at the deputy department level, and Liu Chenglong's youth is at most a stock level, which is not bad. Therefore, he said with a hint of pride, "Oh, so he's just a small civil servant, or just a military transfer. Xiao Liu, do you know what Uncle Su does?"

Liu Chenglong shook his head and said, "Luo Xue never told me."

Upon hearing Liu Chenglong's words, Zou Wenchao felt even happier and immediately said with a somewhat serious tone, "Xiao Liu, let me tell you that Uncle Su is now the Deputy Mayor of our Cangshan City Government, and it is very likely that he will join the Standing Committee in a while. Xiao Liu, I must ask you carefully, do you really like Su Luoxue?" In Zou Wenchao's opinion, as long as he points out Su Haodong's identity, Liu Chenglong will probably be scared and foolish, and he should know how to retreat.

However, to Zou Wenchao's surprise, after he mentioned me, Liu Chenglong's expression was very plain, just nodding lightly without saying a word more.

Seeing this, Zou Wenchao's face looked a bit unpleasant. In his opinion, Liu Chenglong was so calm that it was likely that he had already known Su Haodong's identity. He planned to climb the ranks of the dragon and become a follower of the phoenix, which immediately made him feel unhappy. His eyes turned and he immediately turned to look at Su Haodong, saying, "Uncle Su, I believe that with Luo Xue's conditions and appearance, she is definitely a proud woman in heaven. An excellent girl like her must find a man who is in line with her to prevent her from being wronged. For those who want to climb the ranks of the dragon and become a follower of the phoenix, they must be careful. There are always some phoenixes in this year." A man who wants to get promoted through climbing the dragon and supporting the phoenix cannot bring happiness to Luo Xue

After listening, Su Haodong smiled at Zou Wenchao, nodded slightly, but did not speak. He just tapped the coffee table lightly with his fingers. He didn't speak to save face for his daughter, but his expression showed that he didn't like Liu Chenglong.

Zou Wenchao saw Su Haodong's expression and knew that Su Haodong had a clearly stronger liking for him than Liu Chenglong. In order to continue to fight against Liu Chenglong and make him retreat, he continued to say to Liu Chenglong, "Xiao Liu, it's not me who said you, your conditions really don't match Luo Xue. I think you should give up for the sake of Luo Xue's happiness. Even if a deputy department level arrogant person like me wants to pursue Luo Xue, he must go through multiple tests. You probably can't even pass the first level."

Liu Chenglong really wants to beat up Zou Wenchao hard now. This guy is too good at pretending to be forced. Although he wants to pursue Su Luoxue, he actually belittles himself and elevates himself. However, Liu Chenglong understands his purpose for coming today. He must take care of Su Luoxue's face, so he smiled faintly and said, "This is no longer the feudal era of the past. Love is free, and she should decide who Luo Xue chooses on her own. No one can replace her. And as far as I know, Zou Gongzi, you have a habit of hunting beautiful women. In the city, you and the other three..." The yamen is also known as the "Four Shaos of Cangcheng", and there are countless beautiful women falling under you. I'm afraid you don't quite meet Luo Xue's standards

"Alright. I'm a bit tired. Xiaoliu, I won't keep you today. Wen Chao and I still have some work matters to talk about, so let him take you off for me." After saying that, Su Haodong leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes.

Zou Wenchao smiled and said, "Xiao Liu, I'm sorry. Mayor Su is too busy, so he won't keep you. Please."

At this point, Liu Chenglong had fully understood the situation. He knew that there was only so much he could help Su Luoxue with this matter, especially since Su Haodong had set his sights on Zou Wenchao. Whether Su Luoxue would marry Zou Wenchao depended on her own opinion.

At this moment, Su Luoxue walked out of the inner room with a sorrowful expression on her face. She had just heard her mother say that her father wanted to compete for the standing committee, and only by marrying Zou Wenchao himself could Zou Wenchao's father possibly help her father. Therefore, although she loved Liu Chenglong in her heart, she couldn't refuse to marry the Zou family. At this moment, her heart was very conflicted. After coming out, when she saw Liu Chenglong standing up to leave, she looked at him apologetically and said, "Brother Liu, I'll also see you off together."

This time, Su Haodong did not speak. Watching Su Luoxue and Zou Wenchao deliver Liu Chenglong to the door.

Walking outside the door, Su Luoxue pulled Liu Chenglong aside and said in a choked voice, "Brother Liu, I'm sorry for making you feel wronged."

Liu Chenglong smiled and said, "I don't have much, it's just you..."

Su Luoxue smiled sadly and said, "As a woman from the officialdom family, this is my destiny, but I will not easily let Zou Wenchao succeed."

Liu Chenglong nodded and said, "If you really don't want to talk to him, you can come to me and I'll help you."

Su Luoxue nodded.

At this moment, Zou Wenchao saw that Liu Chenglong and Su Luoxue were chatting with great jealousy. He immediately called his driver over, pointed at Liu Chenglong with his finger, and gave a few words of advice to his driver. After listening, the driver immediately looked at Liu Chenglong with murderous eyes, took out his phone, and began making phone calls.
