When Cheng Guoqing said this, his tone was very dry. Cheng Guoqing was very dissatisfied with Li Xiaoning. The family was in such a poor situation and it was a single-parent family. When his daughter married, it was clear that she would suffer and be poor. But after all, For such a daughter, her daughter's attitude was so determined that Cheng Guoqing had to step back and do the next best thing.
It is not a bad idea to find a poor son-in-law. As long as this boy is on the road, with Cheng Guoqing's energy, it is not impossible to give him a good environment. Let's just look for a pensioner son-in-law. This is Cheng Guoqing's idea.
"I heard from Xiaoxi that you majored in Chinese language and literature in college," Cheng Guoqing lit up a cigarette, blew out a smoke ring, and then said, "Our company's president's office is looking for new people, so I said hello to the human resources department. , I can let you go in first, and we will figure out how to deal with the household registration later. I come to Yanjing first, and I don’t expect you to have any big future. It’s enough to have a stable job and income. We are a couple. He prepared a house and a car for Xiaoxi,"
Li Xiaoning felt like laughing in his heart. Where did Cheng Guoqing get his sense of superiority and speak in such a condescending manner? Why did he think he would accept his "charity"?
Li Xiaoning was still thinking about how to refuse more tactfully, but Zhao Junxia had already said angrily: "I'm not afraid to let you know that neither your uncle nor I have a crush on you. This is because Xiaoxi insists on following you, and we agree because we feel sorry for our daughter." , if you dare to bully Xiaoxi in the future, I will not forgive you,"
Zhao Junxia's tone and rhetoric immediately aroused great disgust in Li Xiaoning. Not to mention that he did not need their "care", even if he really needed this job, he would never accept such a arrogant "gift" from them. , Zhao Junxia and his wife didn't like him. In fact, if it weren't for Cheng Xiaoxi's sake, Li Xiaoning would not waste time in the Cheng family at all, seeing the arrogant and overbearing faces of the couple.
Li Xiaoning originally wanted to walk away, but after taking a look at Cheng Xiaoxi's beautiful and sad face, he sighed inwardly, suppressed his anger, and said with a faint smile, "I appreciate the kindness of uncle and aunt, but I don't want to Coming to Yanjing to work has caused you trouble,"
When Cheng Guoqing heard this, his expression suddenly changed. Their company was a state-owned enterprise, and many people wanted to arrange people for it. For the sake of his daughter, he shamelessly asked for anything and gave him a lot of gifts. It was not easy for him to win such a deal for Li Xiaoning. For a position, I thought Li Xiaoning would burst into tears, but I didn't expect him to refuse it with just one word.
"I don't know how to show appreciation," Cheng Guoqing glanced at Li Xiaoning coldly, stood up and put out the cigarette butt in his hand, strode into his bedroom, and then closed the door tightly with a clang. Since this brat is so shameless, no matter what Knowing the promotion, Cheng Guoqing didn't even bother to waste time with Li Xiaoning.
"You have to suffer to save face, and you will never be able to achieve anything in your life," Zhao Junxia said harshly, got up and went back to her room.
Li Xiaoning was relatively calm, and silently recited in his heart, "Your body and name will be destroyed, and the rivers will not flow forever." Then he stood up silently. He knew that the most uncomfortable person at this time was Cheng Xiaoxi. After all this trouble, he had originally The lively and cheerful Cheng Xiaoxi has turned into a resentful little woman with a look of resentment and sadness. Li Xiaoning was very helpless, but couldn't explain it, so he could only smile at her.
Cheng Xiaoxi escorted Li Xiaoning to the door of the unit and stopped, with an expression on his face that he was hesitant to speak. Finally, he still did not say anything to ask Li Xiaoning to accept the arrangement of his parents. He knew that Li Xiaoning was not the kind of animal that could be kept in captivity. He only had the vast sky outside. It's his world.
"Go back and stop arguing with your parents. Let's find a solution," Li Xiaoning said comfortingly.
"Well, don't worry," Cheng Xiaoxi didn't say much, but these three simple words showed her thoughts.
After Cheng Xiaoxi returned, a Camry parked downstairs started up and chased Li Xiaoning in the direction he was walking. A red Mercedes-Benz sports car not far away also followed closely.
Just a few steps out of the community, Li Xiaoning was forced to stop by the Camry. He looked at the young man who got out of the car with slight annoyance, his eyes full of questioning.
The young man was wearing a boss suit, a Dunhill windbreaker, camel leather shoes, and gold-rimmed glasses. He asked with a bit of frivolity and unkindness: "Are you Li Xiaoning?"
"Do we know each other?" Li Xiaoning asked calmly.
"I want to talk to you," the gold-rimmed glasses man said in a condescending tone similar to Cheng Guoqing's.
"You can tell me what we're talking about," Li Xiaoning's eyes were calm.
"We are all adults now, so I won't beat around the bush. You and Xiaoxi are not suitable. If nothing else, her parents are strongly against it. You can't marry Xiaoxi. You are not from the right family. You two We can't live together," said the gold-rimmed glasses, while taking out a pack of Yves Saint Laurent, taking out one, lighting it with a Dupont lighter, and let out a sigh of relief, "I think you also understand this truth. I just want to get some benefits, let’s put it bluntly, as long as you are willing to give up the creek, you can make a condition, and I can agree to it.”
"Oh, what can you promise me," a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of Li Xiaoning's mouth. No need to ask, this man with gold-rimmed glasses must be a suitor of Cheng Xiaoxi, and he is probably the perfect son-in-law candidate in the eyes of Cheng Guoqing and his wife.
"I can help you arrange a Yanjing household registration, and I can also arrange a good job for you. In this way, you can also realize your wish of a carp jumping over the dragon's gate," the tone of the gold-rimmed glasses contained an unconcealable superiority and contempt. .
"Haha," Li Xiaoning laughed, "It's a cold day, go home quickly, don't talk so much about convulsions here,"
"You...," the gold-rimmed glasses became angry and sneered, "You don't know how to praise..." This guy can be regarded as the son of a cadre. His father is a bureau chief in Dongcheng District of Yanjing, and he has been praised by others since he was a child. Pampered and flattered, I have never felt this kind of aggrieved. I want to get angry, but I don't dare to step forward and take action. I can only stare angrily.
At this moment, the red Mercedes-Benz sports car that had just followed and parked quietly on the side of the road restarted and stopped beside the two of them with a squeak. The window was lowered, and a pretty face with pink and jade was revealed, smiling at Li Xiaoning. Then he said: "Brother Xiaoning, what a coincidence, it's almost time for dinner, let's go back together,"
Li Xiaoning didn't know what kind of medicine Guan Yalin was selling in the gourd, but naturally he would not miss such an opportunity to make the gold-rimmed glasses glare, so he agreed, walked over, opened the passenger door, and got in.
The red Mercedes-Benz restarted, and the high-horsepower engine emitted bursts of exhaust gas, spraying the gold-rimmed glasses all over, and drove away.
"Damn, I've been a freeloader for a long time," he said angrily while looking at the taillights of the Mercedes-Benz sports car with gold-rimmed glasses. Of course, he himself didn't believe this statement.
After the car drove for a distance, Guan Yalin changed her expression and said teasingly: "Flattery, I didn't expect you to be a playboy. Wasn't you a beautiful young woman last time? Why did you create a resentful little girl again?"
"You are following me," Li Xiaoning caught the flaw in Guan Yalin's words, because Cheng Xiaoxi was the only one who had not left the community, and it was impossible for Guan Yalin to see Cheng Xiaoxi if she was just passing by.
"Tch, why am I following you? I'm just passing by, okay?" Guan Yalin's pretty face blushed slightly and she hurriedly explained that she was actually following you. She didn't know why she did it. It was just her and Li Xiaoning. The second time they met, there was no question of whether they liked her or not. It was just her grandfather's words, "How could Xiaoning like you?" that made her subconsciously feel a little dissatisfied. She was the daughter of a high-ranking official and a big boss. The beauty was used to men pursuing her relentlessly, but Li Xiaoning's attitude of not taking her seriously and his indifferent eyes made her feel extremely insulted.
"I don't have to accept your pursuit, but you can't stop pursuing me," so Guan Yalin took action without knowing it. She wanted to regain face for her charm.
"You said we were just passing by," Li Xiaoning smiled slightly and stopped dwelling on the issue, "Why do you always call me a flatterer?"
"You coaxed my grandfather so much that he didn't even want his own grandson, so you're not a flatterer," Guan Yalin said with a sidelong glance at Li Xiaoning, "Actually, what my brother said was right, you are just a country bumpkin."
Guan Yalin's words were half joking and half sincere. Her biological mother passed away early, and her rebellious character was stronger than that of ordinary children. She was the kind of person who desperately longed for love, but didn't bother to express it. She herself She was embarrassed to be too close to her grandfather, but seeing Li Xiaoning chatting animatedly with her grandfather, she felt that he had taken away the family affection that should have belonged to her.
"Why, am I acting like a country bumpkin?" Li Xiaoning himself didn't have much objection to this title, and since these words came from the mouth of a beautiful woman, he couldn't get angry at all.
"Can you drive?" Guan Yalin suddenly changed the subject and asked.
"No," Li Xiaoning lied, he wanted to tease Guan Yalin.
"I can't even drive a car, and I said I'm not a country bumpkin," Guan Yalin said a little proudly, "I'm going to take you to open your eyes today," as she spoke, she stepped on the accelerator hard, and the Mercedes-Benz sports car accelerated to 100 mph in an instant. Step above.
"I seem to have seen a speed limit sign of 60," Li Xiaoning touched his nose and said with an innocent expression.
"Why are you so boring?" Guan Yalin pouted and said, "The pleasure of racing was immediately ruined by you. You are such a country bumpkin."
Listening to the powerful roar of the car engine and looking at the unrestrained beauty next to him should have made the blood rush, or at least should be an exciting thing. However, Li Xiaoning couldn't get excited. His mind was already in a mess. A pot of paste, too many things to deal with, and no time to enjoy everything in front of you.
"You're not motion sick, are you..." Guan Yalin turned her head and glanced at Li Xiaoning. She didn't believe that he, a young man of the same age as herself, wouldn't be seduced by beautiful cars and fast cars. The only explanation was that the speed of the car
