Lin Ji Yang walked out and immediately called Lu Beichen, once again seriously explaining to him. Fortunately, Lu Beichen was a reasonable person, unlikely to truly be deceived by Tong Ji Yuan.
Lu Beichen asked again, "Ji Yang, have you thought it through? Are you really going to give up the position of chief for Zhao Anqi? If you want to take that position, I will definitely lend you a helping hand!"
"No!" Lin Ji Yang was already driving back. "I won’t give up either Zhao Anqi or the chief position!"
"Very good!"
Lin Ji Yang returned and kept investigating why his aunt regarded his father as an enemy, to the extent of joining forces with Tong Ji Yuan to ruin the Tong Family’s reputation to defeat them.
Lin Ji Yang knew his first task was to bring Ji Niandong back to Lu Beichen.
Online, there were continuous leaks, and Zhao Anqi cooperatively started to fight back.
The two joined forces to create their own future, seemingly gaining more confidence in each other.
...
Ning Zesheng did not attend Lin Ji Yang’s birthday banquet due to the fallout from breaking off his engagement with Gu Xiyao, but soon heard about what happened at the party.
Ji Niandong was taken away by Tong Songbai, disrupting all of Ada’s plans and causing attention to shift to Qiao Anlu.
Ning Zesheng suspected Ada did it on purpose.
Just when Qiao Anlu was finally resting, she was summoned back home by her parents.
While Ning Zesheng was texting her, he received a message: XXX Road XXX Number. If you don’t arrive within half an hour, I will never allow my daughter to be with you.
Ning Zesheng sprang up and replied: Uncle? Aunt?
No answer. He quickly tidied himself up and drove towards the destination.
Standing at the door, he adjusted his outfit before ringing the bell. As soon as the door opened, he saw Qiao Anlu winking at him incessantly.
As Ning Zesheng walked inside, a stern and mocking voice greeted him, "It’s the first time I’ve seen a guest arrive empty-handed."
Qiao Jianming glanced at him with a disdainful attitude. Ning Zesheng promptly bowed at a ninety-degree angle, "Sorry, I came in a rush and didn’t think it through. I’ll make it up next time."
"There won’t be a next time!" Qiao Jianming’s face stiffened.
Qiao Anlu hurriedly cuddled his arm and shook it, "Dad, don’t be like that. You asked him to get here in half an hour, considering our home is so far from Yi Tai, it’s good he managed to arrive."
"Shut up!" whispered Qiao Jianming. "Look at you, acting so timid. I treat you like a princess, and you’re this cowardly in front of him?"
How could she not be?
Qiao Anlu glanced at Ning Zesheng, noticing he seemed timid as well today. Delightedly, she hooked onto her dad’s arm, thinking her dad was incredibly cool, "Dad, you’re right, but he’s a guest!"
"Indeed, hurry and come in and sit down. I was away for a moment, and this is how you treat guests!" Mrs. Qiao came out, shaking her head at Ning Zesheng, "Tsk tsk tsk, he’s much more handsome than those in the entertainment industry, only Lin Ji Yang, who retired, could compare, right? Lu Lu, you indeed have your mother’s taste!"
Mrs. Qiao pulled Ning Zesheng inside, "Come in and sit!"
Seeing her mom seemingly like Ning Zesheng even more than herself, Qiao Anlu quickly looped her other arm around Ning Zesheng.
Qiao Jianming coughed twice, "You all, pay a little attention!"
