On the top floor of Pingyang Hotel, Xu Yilong’s company office.

Li Lin, Xu Wen, and Xu Yilong were sitting on the sofa in a triangle shape.

Li Lin lowered his head, remained silent, and felt a little guilty.

The injury on Xu Yilong's head was caused when he was used as a "bait" in Shannan County. The old injury had not healed yet and he was almost beaten by Li Lin again.

This is my future brother-in-law!

Who did he offend?

Xu Wen looked at the two people who were silent, took the lead in breaking the deadlock, forced a smile, and said to Xu Yilong, "Brother, this is my fault. I blame myself for not explaining our relationship clearly to Li Lin in advance...Brother, please don't be angry with Li Lin."

Xu Yilong knew that Xu Wen was giving him a way out, so he took advantage of the situation and said with a smile, "It's not all Xiaolin's fault. I didn't tell you in advance that I was coming to Pingyang, so there was a misunderstanding."

Xiaolin?

Li Lin was a little uncomfortable hearing Xu Yilong's warm address to him.

A few days ago, Xu Yillong was still the cynical and somewhat arrogant young man from Beijing in Li Lin's eyes, but now he has become Xu Wen's brother... Oh, this reversal was a bit unexpected!

Xu Yillong is a young master in Beijing... then Xu Wen is undoubtedly also the son of a noble family... Last night Xu Wen mentioned that his father's name was Xu Yongchang... Li Lin then recalled that Xu Yongchang seemed to be the name of the director of the State Taxation Bureau, at the same level as Wang Jin, a true ministerial-level leader!

Li Lin slapped his forehead in annoyance, wondering why his political sensitivity was so low? He should have thought about who Xu Yongchang was last night! If he had asked Xu Wen about her family background, he wouldn't be so embarrassed now!

He looked at Xu Yillong apologetically, and suddenly realized that the tall and strong Xu Yillong did not look so annoying at this moment, but rather a little cute.

He smiled awkwardly and said, "Boss Xu, I was too impulsive."

Xu Yilong waved his hands and said, "This proves that you love Wenwen very much. Not to mention you, if I saw someone bullying my girlfriend, I would rush up and fight that person regardless of everything... I don't blame you, on the contrary, I admire your courage, like a man! To be honest, I was afraid that Wenwen would find a gigolo, but now it seems that my worry is unnecessary, you are very brave, you are a man!"

"Mr. Xu...thank you for the compliment..." Li Lin rubbed his forehead awkwardly. He didn't expect Xu Yillong to be so reasonable. He even felt a little regretful. He shouldn't have let Xu Yillong be the "bait" and be beaten into such a state by Zhao Chengyi... This matter must be kept to himself and Xu Yillong must not be told about it. Otherwise, wouldn't Xu Yillong break up the couple?

Xu Yilong changed the subject, revealing the sternness of a brother, and said with a gloomy face, "Still calling me Mr. Xu?"

Li Lin reacted, "...Brother Long..."

Seeing this, Xu Wen covered her mouth and smiled, her eyes full of joy and sweetness.

She moved her position, stood close to Li Lin, hugged his arm, looked at Xu Yilong with a smile and said, "Okay, okay, just explain the misunderstanding. Brother, don't be so harsh on Li Lin."

Xu Yilong looked at his sister who was leaning forward, shook his head helplessly and smiled, "Okay, don't go back today, let's have dinner together tonight and have a good chat."

He got into the role quickly and already had the airs of an older brother.

Li Lin looked embarrassed and said, "The leaders of the Transportation Department will go to the county for a field survey tomorrow morning and have to go back in the evening. Why don't you wait until you recover from your injury before going to Shannan? I will have a couple of drinks with you, Brother Long, then."

Xu Yilong wanted to laugh in his heart. Last night, Li Lin kept forcing him to drink, not caring whether he had a head injury or not. Now that their relationship was clear, he actually cared about him as a brother... Haha, it was very heartwarming...

After finally recognizing Li Lin, how could he let him go back so easily?

Shouldn't we drink and chat till dawn and cultivate our relationship?

So he waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about tomorrow's affairs tomorrow. Let's not drink too much tonight. We'll just chat. It won't affect your work tomorrow. Besides...if those people in the Transportation Department knew about our relationship, they wouldn't dare to make things difficult for you even if they were left alone. From now on, you can work boldly in the county. I'll back you up, and no one will dare to disrespect you!"

When talking about political resources, Xu Yilong seemed very confident. With Wang Jin backing him up in Hanjiang, he really didn't take those department heads seriously.

Li Lin naturally knew that Xu Yillong had the confidence to say this.

Seeing Xu Yilong so interested, he thought it would be unreasonable to just leave like that after meeting Xu Wen's family for the first time.

So I stopped refusing.

When Li Lin and Xu Wen were the only ones left in the room, Xu Wen hesitantly said, "Xiao Lin, you won't be angry with me, will you? I wanted to tell you who my father is last night, but you didn't seem to care, so I didn't tell you..."

Li Lin stretched out his hand and pinched her cheek, saying lovingly, "I am slow, it's not your fault. I know you didn't hide it from me on purpose."

He knew very well that if the children of nobles in the capital wanted to live an ordinary life, they had to learn to hide their identities when they went out. Otherwise, countless "troubles" would come to them, and countless people with ulterior motives would come to them to curry favor with them, and use them in the name of making friends.

Xu Wen is the kind of person who wants to live an ordinary life, otherwise she would not have given up the superior conditions in Yenching and come to Hanjiang to be an ordinary teacher.

Li Lin held her hand and said, "I love you as a person. Your family background has nothing to do with me. Whether your uncle is an ordinary person or a national leader, I will always love you sincerely."

Although Xu Wen was very happy, she said with a little worry on her face, "I am worried that you will feel stressed after knowing this."
