On the other side, An Hongling also met her young and promising blind date partner——Qi Zheng.

Unlike what she imagined, the other party was not an arrogant, boring man who spoke official language. His appearance was not inferior to Pei Xuan. He was a standard Chinese handsome guy with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes and a well-proportioned appearance.

The two of them were able to chat with each other, and at least there was no awkward silence when they sat together.

This is because the other party is really talkative and he can keep up with whatever topic she talks about.

He also took her feelings into consideration when eating. As long as she looked at a dish for a few more seconds, he would put it in front of her in the end.

An Hongling couldn't help but think of when she was with Pei Xuan before, she was the one who took the initiative to take care of him and cater to his preferences and tastes time and time again.

Even though she couldn't eat spicy food, she didn't care whether her stomach would feel uncomfortable so that he could eat well.

At that time, she believed that love meant giving to the other person.

But now I realize that one-sided efforts cannot last long.

Seeing the man in front of her looking at her with a smile on his face, she smiled back politely and enjoyed the meal very much.

Although I am not sure whether I will have a future with this man, at least for now, I can try to start with him as friends.

Seeing the two young men chatting back and forth, Lin Zhiyuan concluded that there was something going on, and he drank two more glasses of wine out of joy.

Soon the banquet was over, and Qi Zheng helped An Hongling to support the dizzy Lin Zhiyuan out of the banquet hall.

When they arrived at the door, they met the mother and son who had been waiting there.

As soon as Pei Xuan saw An Hongling, he rushed towards her without even noticing that the person standing next to her was the person they were looking for.

"An An, I know I was wrong. I misunderstood you. Can you forgive me? Let's start over. I will definitely let you live a good life."

While apologizing to An Hongling, he held her wrist tightly.

An Hongling's hand was gripped by him so hard that it hurt. She struggled twice but failed to get free. Qi Zheng, who was standing by, stepped forward decisively and slapped Pei Xuan on the arm, forcing him to let go.

Pei Xuan was so angry that he punched Qi Zheng directly. Qi Zheng was not polite either. He poked his cheek with the tip of his tongue and punched him back hard.

Pei Xuan almost fell to the ground because he was standing unsteadily. Pei's mother rushed over and was about to attack Qi Zheng, but she recognized that Qi Zheng was the head of the Shang Bureau they were looking for.

This was so embarrassing that she had to swallow back the dirty words that were coming out of her mouth. Then she put on a smile that was uglier than crying and explained their purpose to Qi Zheng.

After Qi Zheng heard Pei's mother introduce herself, he immediately had an idea.

"Your factory has not passed the review of the fire department. It does not even have basic fire-fighting facilities. It has serious safety risks, so it cannot be approved."

In order to save costs, Pei Xuan took over a factory with outdated facilities.

If we want to lay fire-fighting pipes in the factory according to fire-fighting requirements, it will be another huge expense.

Instead of spending that money, it would be better to spend some money to give gifts through the back door, but unexpectedly, Pei Xuan smashed this way of giving gifts with one punch.

At this time, Pei's mother started shouting in dissatisfaction. She thought Qi Zheng was bewitched by An Hongling and was deliberately targeting them.

He also cursed An Hongling as a shameless bitch with no parents and no parents.

But before she could finish her words, Lin Zhiyuan slapped her twice:

"How dare you scold my daughter in front of me, old hag, who do you think you are? I'm going to tell you something ugly. Just because of what you said today, if you can make a name for yourself in Jiangcheng, I, Lin Zhiyuan, will chop off my head and use it as a stool for you!"

Mother Pei was furious, almost jumping up and cursing: "You old man, how dare you..."

"Mom! Stop talking! He is the director of the Machinery Bureau and An An's biological father! We can't afford to offend him..." Pei Xuan hurriedly pulled his mother back.

Only then did Pei's mother realize that An Hongling not only found her family, but also that each of her family members was extraordinary.

Pei's mother realized what she had missed and changed her expression almost in the next second. She walked up to An Hongling and smiled at him with a flattering smile on her face:

"Oh~ An An, why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have objected to you being with our Xuan Xuan! Fortunately, the misunderstanding has been resolved now, you should quickly get married. You and our Xuan Xuan have been together for so long, you can't cheat on other men, right?"

An Hongling curled her lips, and the next second she suddenly took off her shoes, and slapped Pei's mother on the face with the sole of her shoe:

"Old woman, I have tolerated you for a long time!"

“Pah pah pah pah…”
