"..."
Zhang Qiang's gaze lingered for a moment on Liu Meiling's cautious and ingratiating face, and he really wanted to tell Liu Meiling to use her brain.
But when he caught a glimpse of Liu Aiguo looking this way from the corner of his eye, his impulsive heart felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over it, instantly bringing his emotions, which were about to spiral out of control, back into control.
He took Liu Meiling's arm.
"I'm sorry, Meiling, I'm just so angry. I can't stand how a peasant like Gu Changzheng gets to live such a privileged life."
"Brother Qiang..."
As soon as Zhang Qiang's tone softened, Liu Meiling felt she hadn't done well and wanted to pluck the moon from the sky for him.
"I'm sorry, Brother Qiang, it's my fault. I couldn't help you."
"It's okay, Meiling. I'm a man, and I have to work hard myself. I will definitely buy a house myself."
Zhang Qiang is well-versed in PUA (Pick-Up Artist) techniques.
After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment before continuing, "It's just that our wedding might not be able to take place so soon. I don't have a house right now, and I don't want you to feel uncomfortable renting a place with me. But don't worry, Meiling, once I buy a new house, we'll get married right away."
"I will definitely give you a wedding that everyone will envy."
Zhang Qiang made a solemn promise.
Liu Meiling didn't realize the psychological manipulation in Zhang Qiang's words at all; she was so moved by his words that she was completely confused.
"Brother Qiang, you're so kind..."
The man hugged Zhang Qiang's waist in public and buried his face in Zhang Qiang's chest: "Don't worry, although I don't know how rich Lu Huaijiao is, what she can give to Gu Changzheng, I can give to you too."
"Meiling...don't do this, the teacher will be angry if she finds out."
Zhang Qiang's tone seemed to carry a sense of fear.
Liu Meiling thought that he was afraid of his father.
She looked up at Zhang Qiang and continued, "Brother Qiang, don't worry, leave this to me. My dad won't blame you."
"Meiling..."
"I'm willing to do anything as long as I can be with Brother Qiang."
Liu Meiling revealed a girlish shyness and buried her face in Zhang Qiang's arms again.
Zhang Qiang lowered his eyes, a disdainful smile curling at the corner of his lips.
He will obtain what he desires through his intelligence and talent.
So even if his partner isn't someone like Lu Huaijiao, so what if he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth? The real skill is that he can make people willingly become like Lu Huaijiao (providing money for men).
Luckily, Lu Huaijiao was unaware of Zhang Qiang's disgusting intentions, otherwise she would have definitely vomited violently.
Only someone like Liu Meiling, with her love-struck mind, could be fooled by Zhang Qiang.
Any other normal girl wouldn't be fooled by Zhang Qiang. A man who has nothing and is as thin as a chicken can only fool those who are love-struck by his fake refined face.
With Zhang Qiang's limited skills, it's impossible for him to fool others.
Lu Huaijiao and the others were unaware of Zhang Qiang's despicable intentions, but after Zhang Qiang arrived at Dawan Village, Gu Changzheng received a phone call from the villagers.
The call was from Gu Xiangdong.
That is, Gu Changzheng's cousin.
Gu Jianhua answered the phone. Gu Xiangdong said he had something to discuss with Gu Changzheng. Gu Jianhua was taken aback, wondering what the two rascals had to say.
"It's about Changqing and the others..."
Since the land was distributed to individual households, the position of brigade leader has been replaced by the new position of village chief.
After Gu Jianhua came to the city, Gu Xiangdong served as the village head of Dawan Village for a year, and has now been promoted to deputy mayor of the town.
It's quite rare to see a deputy mayor this young. Besides his competence, another important reason is that he was transferred from the military.
Going to the village to become the village chief was just a way for him to gain experience in the countryside. If there are no problems, Gu Xiangdong's future path will definitely be very smooth.
Gu Jianhua hadn't heard the names of his sons for a long time, so he was a little confused when he first heard the name Gu Changqing.
"What's wrong? What did Gu Changqing do this time?"
Don't blame Gu Jianhua for not having a good impression of Gu Changzheng; it's just that Gu Changqing didn't leave a very good impression on Gu Jianhua, his father, to begin with.
Putting aside Gu Changqing's attitude towards the couple, Gu Jianhua was quite disdainful of Gu Changqing's behavior of divorcing and remarrying, and getting involved with Xu Honglian after being widowed.
"Is Gu Changqing messing around with women again?"
Gu Jianhua inquired.
He found it strange that Lao He was the only woman in his entire life. Of course, this doesn't mean that no one threw themselves at him when he was young.
There is definitely such a thing, but he simply doesn't have that kind of intention.
So he couldn't understand how Gu Changqing, who was clearly his child, could have developed such a hobby of messing around with other women.
Gu Xiangdong, on the other end of the phone, knew that Gu Jianhua had misunderstood.
He quickly said, "Second Uncle, no, no, it's not that they're having affairs." Besides, he's the deputy mayor now. If they were having affairs, it would be the villagers who would handle it, and it wouldn't involve him.
What would naturally draw his attention was something far more serious.
Gu Jianhua thought for a moment and understood what Gu Xiangdong meant, so he told him to wait a moment while he went to call Gu Changzheng to answer the phone.
"OK."
Gu Xiangdong agreed on the other end of the phone, and Gu Jianhua put down the receiver, walked to the side gate, and called to Sanbao, who was playing in the yard, "Sanbao, call your father. He said your uncle called looking for him."
Fearing that Sanbao might not be able to explain clearly, Gu Jianhua shouted again, "Fourth brother, Xiang Dong called you and said something's up. Come and answer it."
"They're here."
Gu Changzheng, who was massaging Lu Huaijiao's calves, heard Gu Jianhua's words, answered, and then looked up at Lu Huaijiao and said, "Wife, I'm going to answer a phone call?"
"Go quickly."
Lu Huaijiao kicked him with her toe, telling him to get lost.
This greatly displeased Gu Changzheng. "Wife, are you just using me and then throwing me away? You heartless man!"
Lu Huaijiao chuckled, "Gu Changzheng loves to act!" She looked up and glanced at him, "Fine, then you don't have to go. Just let Brother Xiangdong wait."
"That's fine too."
Gu Changzheng was actually planning to squat down as he spoke.
This action naturally drew another round of disdain from Lu Huaijiao.
"Hurry up and go, don't keep people waiting, phone calls aren't cheap."
After kicking Gu Changzheng out of the room, Lu Huaijiao leaned back and dozed off in the rocking chair with her eyes closed.
At the same time, I was also a little curious, wondering why Gu Xiangdong called Gu Changzheng.
Gu Changzheng was also curious.
Therefore, he picked up the phone and asked directly.
"Brother, what's up with calling me?"
