How could Gu Changzheng not understand Lu Huaijiao's meaning?
He nodded and solemnly promised.
"Okay, don't worry, honey, I understand."
"Take care of yourself."
"Hmm, it's alright." Gu Changzheng touched Lu Huaijiao's face, told his parents to be careful at home, and then left home, riding his bicycle to the dock.
He went to get busy, and Lu Huaijiao went to the convenience store to call Lin Yang.
Because of this flood, during the Lunar New Year, everyone from government officials to ordinary citizens, as long as they are willing, has been busy.
Besides those busy with disaster relief, there are other people who are also very busy.
Those are the people who secretly blew up the reservoir.
They've caused such a big incident, so their first priority must be leaving the provincial capital. If they don't leave, they're afraid of being investigated and caught.
Some people left, but others were still audacious enough to think that nothing could happen to them, so they did not choose to leave.
Not only did they not leave, but they were also quite pleased with themselves and wanted to find out how many lives the flood had taken.
Their main goal is to create chaos in the city. The more chaotic the city and the more people die, the more successful they are, and the more rewards they can get when they report to their superiors.
Those involved were very happy about this.
"Xiaoqiang, take this letter to Teacher Lu."
Liu Aiguo came out of his study and handed Zhang Qiang an envelope he had sealed with wax, asking him to go out and deliver the letter to a teacher who had just arrived last semester and was teaching at a primary school.
Zhang Qiang agreed.
His relationship with Liu Meiling is now almost certain. Although some members of the Liu family still oppose Liu Meiling being with Zhang Qiang, they couldn't resist Liu Aiguo, the head of the family, agreeing to it.
He nodded, so the matter was practically settled and there was no room for change.
And so, even during the Chinese New Year, they've already moved in together; all that's left is to get their marriage certificate.
As the only person in the family who had a problem with Zhang Qiang, Zhao Hong was completely helpless. What could she do? In the Liu family, Liu Aiguo was the absolute ruler.
Once he makes a decision, most people have no right to object.
Therefore, Zhao Hong could only pretend not to see that Zhang Qiang frequently came to their house, and had even moved in.
Liu Meiling was cooking with her mother, Zhao Hong, in the kitchen when she heard her father's words. Already distracted, she immediately came out of the kitchen.
"Dad, it's almost time to eat, where are you sending Qiang Ge?"
Liu Meiling loves Zhang Qiang very much. Before Zhang Qiang even felt wronged about going out during the New Year, she was the one who felt wronged.
Liu Aiguo glanced at his daughter with some disdain.
He didn't know how he could have such a brainless daughter.
"I sent Xiaoqiang out to run some errands. He'll be right back."
"What business is it? Are you asking Qiang to go see your good friend Teacher Lu again? I really don't understand what's so great about you two? Teacher Lu's partner looks so gloomy, I just can't stand him."
Liu Meiling still has the right to criticize others.
It's unclear how well she's perceived by others.
Liu Aiguo clicked his tongue, waved his hand, and told Zhang Qiang to explain to Liu Meiling himself. He then turned and went into his study to continue doing his work.
Even though it's Chinese New Year, a special day that only comes once a year, Liu Aiguo didn't make an exception to help out in the kitchen. Instead, as always, whenever he was home, he stayed in his study.
I have no idea what he's busy with.
Zhao Hong was just a housewife, so she didn't dare to ask any questions, and she never dared to enter Liu Aiguo's study.
Liu Aiguo went into the study, and Liu Meiling went up to hug Zhang Qiang's arm.
"Brother Qiang, are you going to deliver a letter to Teacher Lu? Is there something that can't be done after dinner? Why don't you wait a bit, and we'll finish our New Year's Eve dinner, then I'll go with you?"
"Meiling..." Zhang Qiang slowly pulled his arm away from Liu Meiling's embrace: "The teacher asked me to deliver it immediately, there must be something wrong. I can't delay, I have to go first. You don't need to wait for me when you eat, it's okay."
"How could I not wait for you? A family reunion dinner is only meaningful when everyone is together!"
Liu Meiling couldn't persuade Zhang Qiang to stay, and she couldn't help but complain about her father again: "My dad is really something, there's a phone at home but he just won't call, he has to waste your time with such an old-fashioned method as sending a letter, really..."
In modern terms, Liu Meiling was a complete romantic. Aside from the fact that everything Zhang Qiang did was incredibly charming and perfectly correct, she couldn't stand anything else.
This even included her parents.
She found them particularly annoying.
She makes things complicated when they're so simple. She's always bossing her boyfriend around; it's incredibly annoying.
Liu Meiling pouted unhappily.
Zhang Qiang had originally planned to leave, but seeing Liu Meiling like this, he reluctantly stopped and comforted her.
"I'm fine, Meiling, don't be upset. The teacher is just treating me like family, that's why she asked me to run errands."
Now that he is Liu Aiguo's man, he has no choice but to listen to Liu Aiguo in any way.
He couldn't damage Liu Aiguo's image in Liu Meiling's eyes; he had to protect him.
Zhang Qiang was arrogant and overconfident. He would have disdained doing such a thing, but when he thought of the generous reward and the promises made after the job was done, he gradually lost himself in it.
He has become someone who follows Liu Aiguo's lead without question.
Liu Meiling snorted, displeased that Zhang Qiang was speaking up for her father.
"Although he is my father, he cannot interfere with my freedom. Brother Qiang, you don't need to be so afraid of him."
"As long as you continue to treat me well, no one can separate us. I will always love you."
Liu Meiling wasn't shy at all.
Zhao Hong, who overheard this in the kitchen, became extremely anxious.
"Meiling, come in and help me."
She made an excuse and called Liu Meiling away.
Liu Meiling replied impatiently, "What help do you want? I can't cook."
She muttered something, glanced at Zhang Qiang reluctantly, and only after receiving an encouraging look from him did she reluctantly leave the living room and head to the kitchen.
Zhang Qiang saw Liu Meiling off with a smile on his face, and only stopped smiling after he was sure she wouldn't come out.
A cold glint flashed in his eyes.
When he first came to school, he thought Liu Meiling was nice, so he put some effort into pursuing her.
However, as they spent more time together, he grew to dislike Liu Meiling more and more.
As Zhang Qiang stepped out the door, the image of that figure that had flashed past him a while ago flashed through his mind.
I wonder if I'll see her again if I go to the Lu family today?
