Chapter 683: Chapter 683

Xiao Zheng sneered, "Are you saying that Li He and Deputy Director Jiang Wangshan have both apologized to you?"

Song Guanchao was disinclined to speak with him, but to reassure Lin Wanqiu and the Lin Family, he kept his patience.

So, he nodded slightly.

Xiao Zheng said, "Oh? I’m curious, how would a secretary from a Prefecture-level City like you get Director Jiang to apologize?"

Song Guanchao said indifferently, "At noon, I had lunch with Minister Tang from the Ministry of Public Security and Director Chu from the City Bureau. During the meal, I briefly explained last night’s events to Minister Tang and Director Chu. Director Jiang realized his mistake and apologized to me."

"Hahaha!"

This statement made Xiao Zheng unable to hold back any longer, and he burst out laughing, almost to the point of tears.

He laughed so hard his stomach hurt, clutching it without regard for his image.

"Did you hear that?"

"Did you all hear that? Minister Tang, Minister Tang from the Ministry of Public Security!"

"And Director Chu from the City Bureau!"

"What did he say? He said he had lunch with Minister Tang and Director Chu and even said Director Jiang admitted to his mistake and apologized!"

"Hahaha!"

"Lin Wanqiu, is this younger brother of yours an idiot? How can he be so serious and earnest without bursting into laughter?"

The Xiao Family’s relatives couldn’t help but laugh.

The Lin Family, however, wore dark expressions and remained silent.

Lin Wanqiu’s cousin finally couldn’t bear it anymore, "Wanqiu, tell him to shut up, don’t embarrass us anymore!"

"Shut up!" Lin Wanqiu suddenly scolded this cousin, "This is my house, since when is it your turn to act all high and mighty here?"

"You!" The cousin was angry, but was silenced by Lin Wanqiu’s glare.

Lin Wanqiu looked at Song Guanchao, just about to inquire, but met his calm gaze.

He casually glanced at Lin Wanqiu’s cousin, then at the Lin Family relatives, finally looking at Lin Wanqiu and smilingly asked, "Do you believe me?"

What Song Guanchao said was too fantastical, according to Lin Wanqiu’s knowledge and reason, she certainly didn’t believe it.

Yet, for some reason, gazing into Song Guanchao’s eyes, at this moment, she nodded, "I do!"

Song Guanchao gave a slight smile and suddenly patted her hair.

"In Yanjing, no one will bully you from now on. If anyone bullies you, tell me and I’ll stand up for you."

This was his promise to Lin Wanqiu.

The gratitude for Lin Wanqiu’s relentless help last night.

Song Guanchao looked up at Xiao Zheng, who was almost laughing to the point of tears.

Then, he glanced at his parents, his relatives.

When their laughter dwindled, he asked, "Is it so funny?"

On the sofa, Zhang Shian and Xu Zi were already in shock.

They didn’t know what happened at noon.

However, they believed Song Guanchao’s words!

This man, with an extraordinary background and mysterious identity.

If he said he had lunch with Minister Tang and Director Chu, then he must have had lunch.

If he said Jiang Wangshan apologized, then Jiang Wangshan must have apologized.

The Xiao Family thought he was bragging.

Little did they know, they had missed a golden opportunity!

"Funny, too funny, too damn funny!"

Xiao Zheng shook his head, and pityingly said, "Lin Wanqiu, is this the man you’re so desperate to protect?"

"Having meals with the Minister of Public Security, dining with the Director of the Police Department..."

"Jiang Wangshan apologizing to him..."

"Does he take us for country bumpkins who know nothing?"

"Pitiful, laughable!"

Mrs. Xiao patted his arm, "Enough, don’t say so much. People from small towns often like to boast about their abilities this way. Young people care about face."

Though there were no harsh words, this seemingly gentle and understanding statement was filled with superior contempt and disdainful sarcasm.

It had the superiority of someone of high status watching the clumsy performance of someone of lower status.

Xiao Zheng tidied his clothes and nodded, "Yes, let’s not disturb them. Let him immerse in his own fantasy."

Mrs. Xiao smiled, "Relying on imagined dreams to satisfy the feeble incompetence within and to guard the last bit of pitiable dignity. Also a pitiful person."

She laughed again and said no more.

"Mr. Lin, we’ll be leaving now."

Mrs. Xiao gracefully said her goodbyes to Mr. and Mrs. Lin, as well as the relatives, and headed towards the door.

They walked smoothly, displaying the grace and composure of high-status individuals.

Creak.

Xiao Zheng opened the door.

Just about to step out.

Suddenly, someone approached from the front.

Seeing the visitor, Xiao Zheng’s eyes lit up.

It was Zhao Weimin, the Executive Director of Tianyun Real Estate!

And his son, Zhao Qian!

This person was one of the rich second-generation kids from last night!

Is this someone coming to cause trouble for the Lin Family?

Xiao Zheng suddenly felt relieved.

Luckily, they timely distanced themselves from the Lin Family.

Otherwise, they would also have to face this anger!

Tianyun Real Estate, among the top 100 real estate companies in the country!

This Chairman Zhao Weimin, with an impressive resume, had worked for several Fortune 500 companies.

His status in the domestic real estate industry is extremely high!

Even the Mayor of Yanjing has to personally receive him.

As his son, Zhao Qian’s status is no less than that of Li He.

Wealth is merely a series of numbers for this mogul.

Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin, while having certain status in the political and business circles, are nothing compared to this Chairman Zhao.

Even if the Lin Family’s business had no relation to real estate, a single call from Chairman Zhao could bankrupt them.

"Chairman Zhao."

Mr. Xiao stepped forward to shake hands with him.

Zhao Weimin smiled and shook his hand, asking, "Is Chairman Xiao here to visit the in-laws?"

Mr. Xiao’s heart was on alert, quickly distancing himself, "Chairman Zhao jokes, we have no relation with the Lin Family."

"No relation?" Zhao Weimin was taken aback.

Mrs. Xiao said, "Our Xiao Zheng and Wanqiu are no longer related."

At this level, there are no fools, all are smart.

Zhao Weimin immediately understood what was going on.

He subtly retracted his hand, his smile a bit colder, "Heh, looks like today I can only visit Mr. Lin."

He then added, "Chairman Xiao, are you interested in watching a show?"

A show?

Chairman Xiao didn’t mind adding insult to injury.

Hence, the Xiao Family followed Zhao Weimin back into the villa living room.

Seeing the Zhao couple arriving with their son.

Mr. Lin sighed inwardly.

He knew that what was destined to come could not be avoided.

All he could do was face it directly!

He stepped forward, forcing a somewhat weary smile, extending his hand, "Chairman Zhao."

Seeing his extended hand, the Xiao Family members smirked.

They seemed to have already seen Chairman Zhao ignoring Mr. Lin’s hand, making him feel embarrassed.

However, the reality was beyond their expectation.

Zhao Weimin suddenly took two quick steps forward, as if more proactively shaking Mr. Lin’s hand.

"Mr. Lin, how have you been lately!"

"I came uninvited, hope I’m not bothering you?"

This attitude from Zhao Weimin left both Mr. Lin and the Xiao Family perplexed.

This didn’t seem at all like someone coming to seek accountability.
