Chapter 1030 Feeling sorry for Su Xiao
"No need. In your current situation, just stay home. I have someone to pick me up. I'll go directly to your place when the time comes."
"Oh well."
Because she had to book a plane ticket, Lan Qiuling didn't say much. After ending the call, Su Xiao looked around, then turned back and looked up at the inpatient building, then left the hospital and took a bus home.
She called Yun Che, and Secretary Li said that Yun Che was still in a meeting, so she told Secretary Li that she was going home.
"I'll tell Mayor Yun to call you back later. Madam, please be safe on your journey."
"Yeah, I'm fine." After putting away the phone completely, Su Xiao leaned back in the chair and looked out the window.
From the window, she saw her own beautiful face, and then her bright and charming red dress. She remembered that she went to the city hall to find Yun Che with surprise and excitement, and lingered with him in the lounge. It seemed like it had just happened, but who knew the situation would be like this now!
Su Xiao was so tired. She felt exhausted from head to toe. The exhaustion came from deep within her bones, leaving her completely without any strength at all. She gradually closed her eyes and fell asleep in the car.
At this time, Yun Che came out of the meeting, and Secretary Li immediately reported to him that Minister Zhao was looking for him, and Su Xiao was also looking for him.
It was very common for his father-in-law and Su Xiao to come to see him. He often discussed many work-related matters with his father-in-law, but they actually came to see him at the same time. This made Yun Che a little puzzled. He had a hunch that his father-in-law was not looking for him for official business today, but for personal matters.
“What’s their tone like? Did they talk about anything?” Yun Che then asked Secretary Li.
"Minister Zhao didn't say anything when he saw you were too busy to answer the phone, but his tone seemed different than usual, a bit heavy. As for Madam, she only said she had returned home from the hospital." Secretary Li paused briefly before expressing his speculation, "Mayor Yun, could it be that Minister Zhao has also heard about what happened today?"
Yun Che had actually gradually come to think of it. Moreover, although it was normal for Su Xiao to suddenly return home from the hospital, after all, Su Xiao had no need and no obligation to stay there for someone like Lin Ran, the strange thing was that his father-in-law suddenly called him.
Therefore, Yun Che called his father-in-law back without further delay, and it turned out that it was indeed because of Lin Ran's incident.
"Ache, although we are father-in-law and son-in-law, we are both men. You can tell me some things." Zhao Zhixun said in a normal and calm tone.
Yun Che immediately replied, "Dad, you suspect I've done something wrong to Hui'er, don't you?"
Zhao Zhixun paused, then spoke truthfully, "I don't want this to happen, and I believe you wouldn't, but there are some things I can't control, so I still want to hear what you have to say. Don't worry, no matter what the outcome, since the problem has already occurred, let's solve it. We can talk about the rest later."
Yun Che probably understood his father-in-law's thoughts. Yes, in this circle, there are actually a lot of casual affairs. There are also many men who have a family at home and a family outside, and even many confidantes and lovers.
Therefore, these are nothing in the eyes of the father-in-law. Although Su Xiao is his daughter, in the face of the overall situation, such a small matter can be ignored.
Yun Che suddenly felt an indescribable heaviness in his heart, a bitterness and sadness.
He didn't blame his father-in-law. His father-in-law had been in the circle for many years and was used to it. Moreover, his father-in-law was obviously partial to him and valued him. If he really was fooling around outside, he would be so happy with his father-in-law's tolerance!
He felt sorry for Su Xiao and sad for her.
If he really had ulterior motives, his father-in-law would not do anything to him and might even advise Su Xiao to be patient. And one can imagine how sad and painful Su Xiao must be!
Yun Che shook his head, coming out of his bitter mood, and said solemnly, "Dad, I didn't. Although Lin Ran and I have some interactions beyond the level of superiors and subordinates, that's because of her father, Zheng Yingze..."
At this point, Yun Che no longer hid his selfish motives and told his father-in-law everything frankly.
After hearing this, Zhao Zhixun was both surprised and not surprised.
In fact, he was also clear about the situation. Although he valued Yun Che very much and admired this son-in-law, and even treated Yun Che as his own son in his heart, people still have selfish desires after all. Moreover, he was responsible for the entire Zhao family and the entire clan. He had long placed great missions and ambitions on his son. If he could only choose one of the two, he would of course hope for his son, so that he could explain to the entire family and his ancestors.
But he couldn't bear to bury Yun Che's talent. It seemed that Yun Che was clearly better than Yi Xuan in all aspects, but he still didn't want to give up on Yi Xuan completely. If he wanted to support both of them at the same time, he would need more resources. Furthermore, the Qu family wasn't very willing to support Yun Che. Yun Che was his son-in-law, but his relationship with the Qu family was several layers apart!
So, when Yun Che told him that Zheng Yingze supported him very much and asked for his opinion on whether he should accept Zheng Yingze's support, he told Yun Che to just get along well with Zheng Yingze. Who knew that things would develop to this point!
Could it be that Zheng Yingze had already made a plan in mind? Had he long harbored the ambition to snatch his son-in-law from him?
If it was just the admiration of a little girl like Lin Ran, things would be easy to handle, but if all this was planned by Zheng Yingze, it would be troublesome.
"Dad, I don't think Zheng Yingze would be like this. It might just be Lin Ran's one-sided admiration for him, and maybe Zheng Yingze doesn't even know about it." Although Yun Che never wanted to face the fact that Lin Ran was obsessed with him, every time he thought about it, it was not difficult to find that Lin Ran was really unable to extricate herself from him.
"If it has nothing to do with Zheng Yingze, then there's no problem. But if he deliberately planned all this, I won't let him go. He openly snatched people from me. Am I so easy to bully?"
"Dad, I'm sorry!"
"Haha, you don't have to feel too guilty. Who made you look so good? Dad was young once too, so I understand. Just stick to your bottom line. You'll encounter more complicated problems in the future, and sometimes you might even want to indulge yourself. But I'm not telling you this just because you're my son-in-law. I still think you should stick to your bottom line as much as possible. This path is difficult, but you don't necessarily need to use that to relieve stress. Since ancient times, heroes have been tempted by beautiful women. It's inevitable to be moved by beauty, but once you have a weakness or a handle, it's easy to be led by the nose!"
"Yes, I understand all of this, Dad, don't worry. Although I can't promise too much about the future, I will do my best to uphold my responsibilities and bottom line. I really love Hui'er. If she and I were like an ordinary couple, or treated each other with respect, it would be fine, but we have been through so much. These past events will be forever engraved in my mind, constantly reminding me how I should treat Hui'er. I still have confidence that she and I will grow old together, just like you and mom." Yun Che's eyes were full of frankness and sincerity.
