In order to be with me, he actually used both soft and hard tactics?

What he said seemed fine at first, but it sounded completely different to Cheng Maixiang. After all, the play they had put on that morning was a collaboration between the two of them, designed to dispel Wu Jiadong's attempt to cover up the scandal.

Cheng Maixiang was a little amused and confused.

But if you think about it carefully, what he said makes sense. At least if he is with him, Wu Jiadong will never harass him for the quota again, and his elder brother can also calm the villagers who say that he is abusing his public power for personal gain. It really is killing two birds with one stone.

More importantly, Lin Jiayu is no ordinary person. He is a future business tycoon. The original book also says that although he is decisive and ruthless in business, he seems to be quite respectful to women. At least he doesn't have any messy scandals.

Even if he really falls in love with someone else in the future, he shouldn't treat her badly when they break up.

Cheng Maixiang looked at him seriously, and suddenly felt that she had no objection to being with him.

Hey, what am I thinking about? Wu Jiadong’s troubles haven’t been solved yet, and now he’s provoking another one. Am I crazy?

Seeing Cheng Maixiang's thoughtful expression, Lin Jiayu used his final trump card, "Aunt Cheng, Brother Cheng, I, Lin Jiayu, can assure you that after I marry Maizi, I will treat her well for the rest of my life and will never have any affairs outside.

Of course, if Maizi dislikes me and insists on leaving me, I won't forcefully stop her. As long as she can be happy without me, I will definitely let her go."

Cheng Maixiang was stunned for a moment.

He was clearly speaking to himself.

In this day and age, people value being faithful to one's partner and divorce is rare. No matter how difficult life becomes, people just grit their teeth and hold on. But he actually has such advanced ideas. Cheng Maixiang even doubts whether he is also a person who traveled from the future like herself.

Cheng Maiqing stood up, patted his shoulder with a smile, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Maizi is marrying such a good man like you. If she still doesn't want to, she would be really stupid. Don't worry, I, as the eldest brother, will be the first to object."

Cheng Maixiang glared at her elder brother hatefully.

Humph, who is your biological sister after all?

Cheng Maixiang glared at Lin Jiayu again, but saw him secretly making a face at her, with a smug look on his face as if he had secretly eaten candy without telling the adults, which made her laugh again.

Mother Cheng was too lazy to argue with Fang Chunlan anymore. "Things have come to this point, and we in the Cheng family don't want to break up other people's marriages. Since Jiadong and Comrade Zhao are in love, then my family, Maizi, will not get involved. From now on, the Cheng and Wu families will have nothing to do with each other."

No one wanted to stay in the Wu family any longer, so they stood up and walked out the door.

"Maizi, are you really not going to be with me anymore?"

Cheng Maixiang turned around and saw Wu Jiadong with a sad look on his face, like a puppy abandoned by its owner.

In the past, whenever the original owner was angry with him and had no other options, he would use this trick, and the original owner would immediately soften her heart. No matter who did something wrong, it would always be the original owner who apologized. Wu Jiadong relied on this trick to gradually gain the upper hand, and the original owner kept giving in, which eventually led to a farce on the wedding night.

hehe.

The original owner was so naive that she fell for your tricks, but I'm not as brainless as her.

Cheng Maixiang deliberately put on an infuriating smile: "Jiadong, why do you say that? This way, won't all of us be happy? You and Zhao Linlin are finally together, and I've found a better home.

Speaking of which, you are the matchmaker between Jiayu and me. I will remember your kindness. When Jiayu and I get married, I will definitely invite you, the matchmaker, to have a drink and give you a big red envelope.
