Chapter 681: Chapter 681

Jiang Wangshan didn’t know what kind of sister Song Guanchao had recognized.

But indeed, he heard Song Guanchao mention it.

After coming out of the office, he immediately called Li He.

"Song Guanchao recognized a sister yesterday?"

Li He was a bit bewildered, why ask this suddenly?

"It seems like something like that happened..."

"Think carefully, did it happen or not, don’t ’seem,’ I need a definite answer!"

"It did!"

"Tell me the process in detail!"

Li He narrated every detail of what happened last night before Jiang Wangshan arrived, without missing a word.

After listening, Jiang Wangshan understood what was going on.

"Send me Lin Wanqiu’s home address."

"Brother-in-law, I don’t know where she lives."

"If you don’t know, go find out! If you can’t find it, call and ask!"

Jiang Wangshan glanced at the time and said, "I’ll give you half an hour, send the address over!"

"I, I understand."

Li He felt his brother-in-law was making things difficult for him.

Because of last night’s events, no one wanted to contact him anymore.

And now, him asking for Lin Wanqiu’s home address, even if someone knew, they probably wouldn’t give it to him.

Who knows if he’s going to get revenge?

What if they got implicated, what then?

Around three thirty in the afternoon, Song Guanchao emerged from the meeting room.

"Director Chu, I’ll head back first."

"I’ll see you off." Director Chu smiled, happening to notice Jiang Wangshan not far away, and said, "Director Jiang, see Secretary Song off."

Jiang Wangshan rushed over with a still somewhat awkward smile on his face.

The sudden change in Song Guanchao’s status made him a bit uncomfortable.

But even if uncomfortable, he had to strive to adapt.

"Secretary Song." Jiang Wangshan had a fawning smile.

Song Guanchao also smiled and nodded slightly.

Upon reaching the parking lot.

After chatting briefly with the two, Song Guanchao said, "I can’t chat for long, I need to visit a friend."

He got into Jia Peinan’s car, and Jia Peinan asked, "Address?"

"Address..."

This question left Song Guanchao stumped.

"I really don’t know the address."

"..." Jia Peinan’s mouth twitched.

"Let me ask around."

Song Guanchao immediately messaged Lin Wanqiu to inquire.

However, Lin Wanqiu didn’t respond.

Song Guanchao felt more troubled.

Jia Peinan sighed, "Alright, I’ll ask."

He took out his phone and dialed a number: "Check the home address of a reporter named Lin Wanqiu from the Ministry of Propaganda and send it over."

In less than two minutes, he received an address.

Opened the navigation, the distance was about 20 kilometers.

Jia Peinan looked at the address and said, "This god-sister of yours, her family is quite wealthy, living in a villa."

It’s a villa in the Capital, within the fourth ring road.

The villa’s price is at least tens of millions.

Song Guanchao was not surprised; from Lin Wanqiu’s demeanor, it was evident that her family was well-off.

Otherwise, Xiao Zheng wouldn’t have sought an arranged marriage with her.

Around four-thirty in the afternoon, the car arrived at the community.

The car had a pass from the Ministry of Public Security, so the community security let them through directly.

At the same time.

The villa’s living room was filled with many people.

On one side were Lin Wanqiu’s parents and several political and business relatives.

On the other side were Xiao Zheng, his parents, and several political and business relatives.

Xiao Zheng had already told Lin Wanqiu’s parents everything about last night’s incident.

When they learned that Lin Wanqiu dared to offend Li He for a stranger, her parents couldn’t believe it and looked at their daughter incredulously.

They couldn’t understand why their daughter would behave so irrationally for a secretary from a small place.

Xiao Zheng’s parents and relatives were very angry.

The future daughter-in-law, at a charity banquet, in front of numerous dignitaries, was tugging and pulling with an outsider.

How could the Xiao Family keep its face?

Xiao’s mother, in her fifties, spent a considerable fortune each year on her maintenance, didn’t appear old, and had a bit of mature charm.

Holding a teacup, the emerald ring on her finger was particularly eye-catching.

The noble aura from her pampered life endowed her with an imposing presence.

She took a sip of tea and said, "Our Xiao family may not be aristocratic, but we’ve always had traditional values. Considering that Xiao Zheng and Wanqiu need to develop their feelings, we thought it best for them to live together after marriage. This is for Wanqiu’s respect too."

"But I didn’t expect that the respect and concessions of the Xiao family would only encourage probing."

"With a marriage contract, she still tangled with another man in public, dear mother-in-law, is this the well-behaved daughter you raised?"

Xiao’s mother’s words were sharp and probing, leading the living room atmosphere into frost.

Mr. and Mrs. Lin, aware of their fault, appeared guilty, and the relatives frowned, looking at Lin Wanqiu with heavy, reproachful eyes.

Mother Lin looked at her daughter and said, "Wanqiu, what’s really going on between you and that man?"

Before Lin Wanqiu could speak, Xiao’s mother said, "I don’t want to delve into this matter further. It’s fate that brought the two children together. Let’s talk about the more important issue."

The more important issue undoubtedly referred to the matter of offending Li He.

Xiao’s father spoke, "Tomorrow, I’ll ask a friend to inquire about Li He, set a time, and then visit him. We must completely eliminate the impact of this incident."

Mr. Lin nodded.

Regardless, they had to visit.

After all, Li He’s father is the head of the National Development and Reform Commission.

His mother is the Secretary of the Municipal Committee of Jinmen.

By comparison, the gap is somewhat large.

Mother Lin saw her daughter remaining silent and tugged her arm, "Wanqiu, don’t mess around in the future, understand?"

Everyone watched her, waiting for her to admit her mistake.

In truth, such things weren’t significant.

It was an alliance of interests; speaking of loyalty was almost laughable.

But appearances needed to be maintained at least.

They just hoped Lin Wanqiu would bow her head, acknowledge her mistake, and go through the motions.

However, facing the gazes of Xiao’s relatives, Lin Wanqiu shook her head.

Seeing her shake her head, everyone was stunned.

Mother Lin was about to speak, but Lin Wanqiu suddenly stood up, bowed to Xiao’s father and mother, and said, "Uncle, Aunt, I’m sorry. I think I’m not suitable with Xiao Zheng."

Xiao Zheng sat by the side, his face cold as frost.

Xiao’s father and mother also looked displeased.

Lin Wanqiu’s words were tantamount to saying, "I won’t marry!"

They didn’t come to call off the engagement today, just to reprimand Lin Wanqiu.

Apologizing to Li He was today’s focus.

But Lin Wanqiu suddenly said this.

"Wanqiu!"

From Lin’s side, a cousin suddenly stood up and scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and apologize to Uncle Xiao!"

Lin Wanqiu smiled self-deprecatingly and was about to speak when suddenly, the doorbell rang.

Mr. Lin took a deep breath, patted Wan’s shoulder, and said, "Wanqiu, think about it carefully before deciding."

Then, he went to open the door.

Opening it, outside was an unfamiliar face.

Mr. Lin asked, "Who are you looking for?"

The visitor was a man, smiling, "Are you Uncle Lin? I’m Zhang Shian, the director of the planning department at the National Development and Reform Commission."

Hearing the person’s identity, Mr. Lin’s heart tightened.

Li He’s father is the director of the National Development and Reform Commission.

The moment the person introduced themselves, he realized Li He’s father had sent someone over.

He thought it was just an issue between the juniors.

But now it seemed Li He’s parents already knew.

The matter might not be easy to resolve.

And everyone in the living room also heard Zhang Shian’s words.

Xiao Zheng frowned, Xiao’s father and mother exchanged glances.

If it was just Li He, they could find someone to mediate.

But judging by this, Li He’s father seemed unwilling to downplay the matter.

If that’s the case, Lin’s family might not handle it smoothly.

Xiao’s father and mother began to think.

If not, they might as well accept Lin Wanqiu’s proposal to call off the engagement and completely cut ties with the Lin Family!
