Lin Ruanruan hesitated as she looked at Xu Chaomu sitting in the living room talking to her father. Li Shuzhen, who was picking up her daughter, also frowned. She couldn't figure out what Xu Chaomu was doing at the Lin family's house.
Xu Chaomu had already seen Lin Ruanruan and Li Shuzhen. He stood up politely and said, "Hello, President Li, hello, sister."
Lin Ruanruan pursed her lips and called out softly, "Hello, Brother Chaomu."
Li Shuzhen greeted him with a warm smile, "Hello, Mr. Xu, what brings you here today?"
Xu Chaomu subtly shifted his gaze away from Lin Ruanruan's face. "I'm not here because I'm interested in the Lin's South Suburb Food City project. I came specifically to ask Chairman Lin and President Li about the situation."
"That's easy, please sit down, let's chat slowly." Li Shuzhen said with a smile, then looked at the uncomfortable Lin Ruanruan and said, "Ruanruan, you've just been discharged from the hospital, go upstairs and rest first."
Lin Ruanruan felt as if she had been granted a pardon, and she immediately nodded and left.
Xu Chaomu stared intently at Lin Ruanruan's retreating figure, then composed himself and politely inquired of Li Shuzhen, "Little sister, were you frightened that day? Are you feeling better now?"
Li Shuzhen exchanged a subtle glance with Lin Tianba, then said, "Much better now. Sigh, I never expected the Liang family to do something like this!"
Lin Tianba poured Xu Chaomu a cup of tea. He knew very well what had happened that day; Xu Chaomu had kicked the door open first.
The only reason someone could find out the news faster than him and Qi Xiaozi was because Xu Chaomu had planted someone around Ruan Ruan. Later, Huo Qi's investigation confirmed that the Xu family had indeed sent people to secretly monitor Ruan Ruan.
But he couldn't know yet that the Xu family had problems. Lin Tianba looked at Xu Chaomu with gratitude, "It's all thanks to President Xu. If you hadn't kicked the door open that day, my Ruan Ruan would probably be..."
It seems there might really be a murder case. Thinking of this, Lin Tianba wanted to give his daughter a thumbs up. His daughter did a great job.
Li Shuzhen quickly expressed her gratitude to Xu Chaomu, making sure to maintain appearances no matter what.
The three chatted happily in the living room, but Lin Tianba seemed very troubled about the cooperation. He made it very clear that this was a cooperative project with the Huo family, and there was really no way to involve the Xu family in the cooperation.
Xu Chaomu understood, since his purpose in coming today was not for cooperation, but for Lin Ruanruan.
"I wonder if Chairman Lin and President Li are interested in my sister's marriage?"
Xu Chaomu laughed and said, "Our Xu family has a simple relationship. There is only my branch, and my younger brother is not good at business."
"Therefore, I have the final say in the entire Xu family business. If my sister is willing to join me, then she will be the matriarch of the entire Xu family in the future."
Lin Tianba and Li Shuzhen were stunned for a while. They really didn't expect Xu Chaomu to be so direct, and that he was actually interested in their daughter.
Then it's somewhat understandable that they sent people around Ruan Ruan before.
Li Shuzhen smiled and said, "We only care about Ruanruan's own wishes when it comes to marriage. Besides, our daughter is not very bright and was mentally challenged for several years. Now that she has finally recovered, we just want to keep her for a few more years."
She directly brought up the words she had used to politely decline Yan Ru and Huang Min.
Xu Chaomu raised an eyebrow in surprise, not expecting the Lin family to refuse so decisively. "I saw that the Lin family and the Huo family had been in close contact before, and I thought you were interested in a marriage alliance. It turns out that's not the case?"
"Mr. Xu is joking. I would never use my daughter for a political marriage. My wife and I respect her own opinion," Lin Tianba said, shaking his head.
Although that's what he said, he felt that his daughter had already fallen for Huo Qi.
Xu Chaomu smiled and said, "It seems I was being presumptuous. But I will wait for my sister. Please allow me to pursue her later."
Li Shuzhen waved her hand, "President Xu, with your qualifications, what girl wouldn't you find? I've heard that so many young ladies from high society are smitten with you."
Xu Chaomu raised an eyebrow, "It's just a matter of choosing only one from among many."
After seeing off Xu Chaomu, that big shot, quite a while had passed. Li Shuzhen was sprawled on the sofa playing on her phone when she said, "Tianba, tell me, why is our daughter so attractive to everyone?"
"Why do all these young masters and ladies of high society have taken a fancy to Ruan Ruan?"
Lin Tianba leaned on Li Shuzhen's shoulder, his hands wandering towards her thigh, "Because our good daughter looks like you, she's beautiful."
"Didn't I snatch you from so many men back then? I practically beat up every single man in your workplace just to be your girlfriend."
Li Shuzhen rolled her eyes at Lin Tianba, "How can that be the same?"
“How is it different?” In Lin Tianba’s eyes, his wife and daughter are the best. “No matter how high society he is, he’s still a human being.”
Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng emerged from behind the screen. Li Shu Zhen looked at him with some surprise, "Hao Cheng, you've been there the whole time?"
Xuan Yuanhao nodded, "Since you were talking about business, I've been reading here."
After saying that, he walked directly to Lin Tianba and Li Shuzhen and said, "The Xu family's methods are not clean. They have caused my brother to suffer several times. Godfather and Godmother, you must be careful."
Lin Tianba frowned. "We have almost no business dealings with the Xu family."
Xuan Yuanhao said calmly, "My brother told me that Xu Chaomu is a very extreme person. He will do anything to get what he wants."
"It is said that his businesses are not limited to what is on the surface; he has many shady businesses in the shadows, and the South Suburbs Club has a deep connection with him."
Lin Tianba and Li Shuzhen exchanged a glance. It seemed that the Xu family really did have serious problems behind the scenes, just as Secretary Fang had said.
"Haocheng, we understand. We will be careful of the Xu family's actions." Li Shuzhen nodded solemnly.
After Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng finished speaking, he saw that it was almost time, so he went upstairs to call Lin Ruan Ruan down for dinner.
Lin Ruanruan stared wide-eyed at Xuan Yuanhaocheng, "A marriage alliance?"
"Xu Chaomu wants to marry me?"
What did he see in me?
What kind of horror story is this?
Xuan Yuanhao shrugged. "I don't know either, but Xu Chaomu is no good. Don't have anything to do with him in the future."
Lin Ruanruan nodded, "I also think he's not a good person. We should all stay away from him from now on."
He's a villain with unpredictable temper.
Seeing that Lin Ruanruan was so cooperative, Xuan Yuanhaocheng was finally relieved. He was worried that Lin Ruanruan might be influenced by Xu Chaomu's face and actually fall in love with him, which would be troublesome.
"Don't fall for him just because he's good-looking, you know?"
Lin Ruanruan hugged the big white rabbit doll in her hands and shook her head firmly, "Don't worry, big brother, I've seen you and Fang Lan every day and we're already immune to handsome guys."
Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng patted her head with satisfaction, "Ruan Ruan."
"Um?"
"You have excellent taste."
Lin Ruanruan: ...When did this person become so narcissistic?
