He Tiantian was jealous, a fact that left Huo Yingjie both amused and exasperated.

"Hehe." Huo Yingjie chuckled. "You're overthinking it. I don't care what those people think. Anyway, I don't like them. I only like you, I only love you."

Hearing her husband's words, He Tiantian's discomfort vanished completely. She kissed her husband's cheek and said, "Anyway, when you encounter women with ulterior motives, you must be vigilant and stay away from them."

“That’s natural,” Huo Yingjie said. “That way, there will be less trouble. Did you see or hear anything today?”

He Tiantian frowned and said, "It wasn't just one woman, it was my classmate Qin Li's cousin. I think I've seen her somewhere before. When you and your father-in-law were fishing, she was staring at you from a distance. The look in her eyes was like she wanted to knock you out and lock you up at home. I don't know why, but I feel unhappy every time I see that woman."

Huo Yingjie frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "I've got it. I'll stay far away from that woman from now on."

"You don't need to avoid her, but don't be alone with that woman. If a man and a woman are alone together, and something happens, rumors will spread, and it won't be worth it!" He Tiantian instructed. In today's society, women are more protected and are considered a vulnerable group.

Indeed, this is true. Due to physiological reasons, women are not as good as men in some aspects. So when something happens, regardless of whether Huo Yingjie is right or wrong, public opinion will always lean towards the woman.

"Yes, you're right," Huo Yingjie agreed repeatedly.

Hopefully, this proactive planning will be effective.

He Tiantian was a little sleepy, yawned, closed her eyes, and drifted off to sleep.

However, after the Qin family left, Wang Bing's mother, Cai Ying, finally knocked on her daughter's door.

She wanted to know exactly what had happened.

She didn't believe what others said; she wanted her daughter to tell her herself.

Wang Bing, who was inside the house, had already come up with a plan.

Now that things have come to this, she can no longer hide it.

Without her parents' support, she cannot continue to take the next step.

Wang Bing opened the door, came out of the bedroom, went to the kitchen, poured two cups of tea for his parents, and said, "Dad, Mom, please have some tea first."

Tsai Ying and Wang Shengli had no interest in drinking tea.

"Xiao Bing, tell me, are the things your cousin said true?" Cai Ying asked, her concern making her confused, and she couldn't help but ask.

Wang Bing took a small sip of tea and said softly, "Mom, I've taken a liking to Huo Yingjie, the only son of Vice Mayor Huo."

Just as Wang Shengli picked up the cup, intending to drink tea, his hand trembled, and with a "crash," the cup fell to the ground, spilling water and shards of glass everywhere.

However, at this moment, Cai Ying and Wang Shengli ignored these trivial matters and stared in disbelief at their daughter, Wang Bing.

After a long pause, Wang Shengli frowned and said, "Don't you know that Vice Mayor Huo's son is already married? I heard he even has twins. What you're doing might not bring disaster to your family, but it will allow me to retire early."

Cai Ying was nervous and tried to persuade her, "Even if a married man is very good, you can't force yourself on him. You're a virgin, you can find someone better, why do you have to set your sights on someone like this?"

Wang Bing had been keeping her head down, but finally raised it after her parents finished speaking.

“Dad, you’ve worked hard your whole life, and all you’re doing now is being the director of the subdistrict office in our district. All these years, our family has been clinging to Aunt and Uncle, hoping that Uncle will promote us so you can get a better position,” Wang Bing retorted. “But over the years, Uncle’s position has risen steadily, but what about you?”

When Wang Shengli heard his daughter's breathing, his breathing paused for a moment, and his face flushed red.

Some of those who entered politics at the same time as Wang Shengli have now become municipal party secretaries, but he is still just a director in charge of a subdistrict office.

A while ago, I had a class reunion.

Many of those who were originally worse off than him are now doing much better, which makes Wang Shengli, who once considered himself a talented man, feel very unbalanced.

"By the way, that Xiao Zheng, his father is the deputy director of the municipal party committee office, that's good too, better than Huo Yingjie, at least he's getting married for the first time!" Wang Bing said. If it's for Wang Shengli's career advancement, the Huo family isn't the only option!

Even the daughters of high-ranking officials have their own admirers!

“Xiao Zheng, his father is just lucky, he doesn’t have any connections,” Wang Bing said. “But the Huo family is different. Their main family is in Yanjing! They are one of the top families with meritorious service. Such a family has a foundation and connections. In the future, your father might be able to become a county magistrate or county party secretary, instead of a small director with no real power.”

When Wang Shengli had nothing to do, he also studied the backgrounds of the city leaders. Indeed, as his daughter said, the Huo family was one of the most prominent families in Yanjing. Especially in the last year or two, they had gained the deep trust of that person.

If you establish a connection with such a family, becoming a county party secretary is just a trivial matter; they are indeed far superior to the Zheng family from Nanshi.

"Xiao Bing, are you confident?" Wang Shengli asked, as he was most eager to know.

Wang Shengli has only one daughter. He used to be obsessed with his career and wanted to become an official, a high-ranking one, but he was never given a prominent position.

Cai Ying was stunned, glared at her husband, and said, "Old Wang, Huo Yingjie is already married. Are you just going to watch your daughter jump into a fire pit?"

Wang Shengli looked somewhat embarrassed under his wife's gaze.

"Mom, you have foresight." Seeing that there were no major obstacles from her father, Wang Bing realized that the most important thing now was to persuade her mother, which would make things much simpler.

"Foresight?" Cai Ying said indignantly. "Do you know that if you break up someone else's family, it's a stain that can never be washed away!"

Wang Bing smiled and said, "Mom, as long as Huo Yingjie is successful, his wife will be honored, so what if others say a few words behind her back? Besides, people are forgetful; they only remember the achievements of the successful. Who cares about the wishes of the losers, let alone sympathize with them?"

Hearing his daughter's words, Wang Shengli felt a pang of regret. If his daughter had been a son, she would surely have achieved great things if she had pursued a career in government.

"Xiao Bing, this path is destined to be difficult!" Cai Ying continued to persuade her, "Even if the Huo family is good..."

"Mom, don't try to persuade me anymore. The Huo family is really good. If I join the Huo family, Dad's career will be smoother, and I can live a life of luxury. Besides, Huo Yingjie is an outstanding person. Given time, he will surely soar to great heights. At that time, others will look up to me, and even if they criticize me, it's just out of jealousy," Wang Bing said firmly.
