Chapter 12 Report: How intense must the report be to get scratched like this?

After Lao Liang came downstairs, he asked him some questions about work.

After Liang Chaolu finished his report, he was pondering how to bring up Shu Run's matter.

Seeing his hesitant expression, Liang Huaixu asked, "Is there anything else?"

“I…” Liang Chaoluo finally mustered up the courage, but when his gaze swept over the fingernail marks on Lao Liang’s collar, he said, “Damn it.”

He blinked hard, and he was sure he wasn't mistaken; there was a red mark on Lao Liang's collar, made by a woman's fingernail.

As a young man in his twenties, he naturally knew what this meant, but how intense would it have to be to be scratched like this...

Old Liang is really something. He's getting on in years; he should take better care of his health and not act so recklessly.

Liang Huaixu narrowed his eyes slightly. "What did you just say?"

"It's nothing, I just felt that you're almost forty, you should take better care of your health." Liang Chaoluo scratched his head awkwardly.

He glanced around. Luckily, Lao Liang's new love interest wasn't home, otherwise he really wouldn't know how to react. If he was enthusiastic, he would feel somewhat sorry for Ms. Zhuang; if he was indifferent, he would feel like he was disrespecting Lao Liang.

He let out a long sigh, chatted about this and that for a while, and then casually asked, "Dad, when are you going to meet with Shu Run's family?"

Liang Huaixu: "It's not time yet."

Liang Chaoluo: "Then you can suggest a time."

Liang Huaixu did not answer, casually looking at the newspaper, as unfathomable as a distant mountain mist.

Liang Chaoluo was getting anxious. "We've already graduated from university. They say graduation season is breakup season. If we don't get married now, it will only be harder later."

Liang Huaixu raised his eyes and replied in a cool and aloof tone, "Are you insecure about your love?"

Liang Chaoluo paused for a moment before retorting, "I heard that you proposed to Ms. Zhuang right after graduation. Are you not confident in your relationship?"

Suddenly, silence fell over the surroundings.

Liang Huaixu frowned, put down the newspaper, and said sternly as if his sore spot had been touched, "It's none of your business to judge what's between me and your mother."

Liang Chaoluo retorted, "On what grounds?"

“You’re already twenty-two years old. When I was your age, I was already contributing to the family. If you want love, then prove it with your abilities. If you become the deputy general manager of a branch company within three years, I’ll agree to your relationship.”

"How is this possible!" Liang Chaoluo's eyes widened, feeling that this was deliberately making things difficult for him. Even if he worked diligently, there was no such fast promotion path for junior employees at Changting. He was furious. "I know what you mean, you just want me to give up, but I'll also say this: I will not marry Yi Han."

Liang Huaixu's face was cold and stern. Before going upstairs, he said, "Since you've enjoyed the Liang family's resources and preferential treatment, you also have obligations that you must fulfill. Think carefully about how to balance these obligations."

As soon as Liang Chaoluo left, Assistant Zhou came down from the stairwell. He had just overheard something and said to President Liang with a helpless tone, "You clearly didn't mean that, but every time you're in front of Chaoluo, it's like your mouth has knives."

Liang Huaixu straightened his lips and said, "I'm very disappointed in him."

Although he had no intention of arranging a business marriage for Liang Chaoluo, he also disapproved of Liang Chaoluo's determination to stand against his family for the sake of love.

In particular, Liang Chaoluo used Zhuang Fuyao and his affair as a comparison.

If we don't give him a good talking-to, how will he ever be able to shoulder the responsibilities of Changting with such an impatient temperament?

Liang Chaoluo was in a very low mood after leaving home.

During this period, Shu Run was very cold to him and rarely replied to his messages.

He knew she was still angry with him because of Valentine's Day.

Actually, when Lao Liang asked him to pick up Yi Han, he was prepared to refuse, but later he learned that Madam Yi was also there.

When he was young, Madam Yi treated him very well. Thinking that it wouldn't take up much time, she took the time to visit him.

Unexpectedly, he got into a minor car accident along the way, suffering some minor injuries and breaking his phone.

When she couldn't reach him, Shu Run saw his synced WeChat messages on her tablet. Knowing he had gone to pick up Yi Han, she had a huge argument with him.

Liang Chaoluo was in the wrong, and he tried many ways to coax Shurun, but none of them worked. He became increasingly agitated that night, and when he couldn't sleep, he saw Shurun ​​post a screenshot of her game stats on her WeChat Moments.

On a whim, he opened the game he hadn't played in a long time, thinking he could help her rank up and make her happy. But Shu Run was always duo-queuing and completely ignored his game invitation.

He squinted and, almost unconsciously, clicked on her match history to see who she was playing games with.

The other person is male, his ID is [A私教小z], and his profile picture is a simple line drawing of abs. Shurun ​​has been playing duo queue with this person lately.

Liang Chaoluo, his emotions unclear, clicked the report button. Perhaps the legend of graduation season being breakup season was too eerie, making him feel very insecure. After checking Shu Run's social media, he discovered that Shu Run had recently gained a very close friend. She often posted chat logs with the other person's profile picture cropped out on Weibo to "show off their affection," and the two even called each other "baby" in their chats.

The further he scrolled down, the paler his face became.

When she wasn't replying to his messages, Shu Run was chatting and playing games with him.

While he was receiving messages about his reincarnation, someone else was bombarded with messages calling him "baby."

He suspected that the man who called his girlfriend "baby" was that scoundrel known as "Personal Trainer Little Z." His name alone suggested he was no respectable person.

On the other side, Zhuang Fuyao had bad luck in the new game and was eliminated immediately upon landing.

Just as I was about to redeem myself and regain the points I lost, I was suddenly notified by the system that I was banned from playing for a day.

The reason given is that it involves pornography/erotica.

Zhuang Fuyao was so angry she wanted to slam her hand on the keyboard. "Which bastard reported me?"

Unfortunately, the game system is also terrible. When you report something, it takes forever to get any results.

And as soon as a report of pornography is filed, it is processed almost instantly.
