199: Chapter 199 I am your son-in-law 199: Chapter 199 I am your son-in-law “Is this about private matters or official business?

If it’s official, then come to my office tomorrow to discuss it,” Su Guangrui said as he pushed his bicycle past Xiang Yu.

“It’s both, I like Linlin,” Xiang Yu turned with a serious expression and said to Su Guangrui.

Upon hearing this, Su Guangrui finally took a serious look at Xiang Yu and sized him up and down.

Xiang Yu stood tall and was quite handsome, dressed simply, seeming nothing like a pampered young master.

“What did you just say?” Su Guangrui fearing he might have heard wrong, then looked at Xiang Yu intently and asked.

With a chuckle, Xiang Yu said, “I like Linlin.”

After Su Guangrui confirmed what he heard, he managed a reluctant smile and said, “Come upstairs with me.”

Outside, Su Guangrui was an impartial official, but at home, he was a father.

No father is indifferent to his children’s welfare, especially regarding important matters like marriage.

Su Linlin wasn’t getting any younger, and it was time for her to find a partner.

This had been giving Su Guangrui quite a headache, as many people had spoken for his precious daughter, but Su Linlin just wouldn’t agree.

Among these people were sons of officials and young masters of renowned businessmen, yet Su Linlin wasn’t interested in any of them, even finding them irritating, which frustrated her father.

When Su Guangrui heard that Xiang Yu liked his daughter, he was first startled, then he understood.

His daughter already had a boyfriend, and he was quite a striking one that suited Su Guangrui’s taste.

The reason he had invited Xiang Yu over was to get to know him better, to find out what he did, his family background, and whether he was a decent person.

If he was, it wouldn’t be bad for his daughter to be with him.

When they arrived at Su Guangrui’s home, a beautiful middle-aged woman was busy preparing dinner.

The woman was surprised to see Su Guangrui bringing a guest, knowing he rarely ever brought outsiders home.

Su Guangrui gave his wife a look, signaling her to quickly make tea.

Understanding the hint, she went to brew tea while she couldn’t help but take a couple of extra glances at Xiang Yu, noticing he was very gallant, the very image of a son-in-law she would approve of, and she secretly rejoiced in her heart.

“How did you meet Linlin?” Su Guangrui asked, sitting there looking at Xiang Yu.

With a smile, Xiang Yu sitting opposite Su Guangrui said, “Due to a misunderstanding, I was sent to the Public Security Bureau, and that’s how I met her.”

“A misunderstanding?” Su Guangrui became skeptical, since it wasn’t commonplace for good people to end up in the Public Security Bureau.

He scrutinized Xiang Yu intently, “What do you do?”

“I run my own business, currently operating a logistics company,” Xiang Yu noticed the doubt in Su Guangrui’s eyes.

He did not elaborate further, merely responding with a smile.

The middle-aged woman placed the tea in front of Xiang Yu, then sat next to Su Guangrui and looked at Xiang Yu, “Young man, where is your family from?”

It was then that Xiang Yu took a proper look at the middle-aged woman for the first time, noticing her fair complexion.

Although in her forties, she looked quite young and bore a strong resemblance to Su Linlin.

Standing together, one might mistake them for sisters.

“You are Linlin’s…” Xiang Yu hesitantly asked.

“She is Linlin’s mother, He Lanyu, a high school teacher,” Su Guangrui quickly introduced.

“Auntie, you look so young, more like Linlin’s sister,” Xiang Yu honestly complimented.

He Lanyu, hearing the compliment, naturally felt pleased and cast a challenging look at Su Guangrui.

It has to be said that women are strange creatures, no matter the age, they all like to hear praise.

“I’m from out of town, here to do business,” Xiang Yu vaguely replied.

He Lanyu smiled and nodded her head, clearly quite satisfied with Xiang Yu.

She sized him up and down, which made Xiang Yu somewhat embarrassed—it was the classic scenario of a future mother-in-law meeting her prospective son-in-law.

Although Xiang Yu had also killed countless people and seen much of the world, this kind of scene still made him uncomfortable.

Knowing this would happen, Xiang Yu would have found another excuse, but at the time, he didn’t think it through and fully exhibited his nonsense-spouting personality, which led to the current situation.

“Go ahead and start cooking, I have some things to discuss with him,” Su Guangrui said, glancing at his wife.

He Lanyu then stood up with a nod, and Xiang Yu could tell that she was very pleased with him.

“Now that you’ve mentioned official business, what is it?” Su Guangrui now had dropped that stern look and asked in a friendly manner.

Just then, Su Linlin suddenly opened the door and walked in.

She was dressed in a police uniform, looking valiant and impressive, with two impressive “weapons” standing proudly on her chest, complemented by her svelte figure.

A term popped into Xiang Yu’s mind: “uniform temptation.”

“I’m back, mom, what delicious food are you making?

It smells so good,” Su Linlin chirped as she entered the house.

Outside, she was a police officer who commanded respect, but at home, she was just a young girl, and all young girls have their playful and coquettish nature.

“Linlin, come over here and guess who’s here,” Su Guangrui said with a smile.

It took a moment for Su Linlin to notice Xiang Yu sitting on the sofa.

She had a lasting impression of him; he had acted utterly nonchalant at the Public Security Bureau and even caught a glimpse of an embarrassing moment for her.

Wang Ming had thrown him into jail alongside dangerous criminals, and the fact that he emerged unscathed had worried her needlessly.

She looked at Xiang Yu curiously and asked, “What are you doing here?”

Actually, her impression of Xiang Yu wasn’t bad at all, at least much better than that of Wang Ming.

“What kind of way is that to speak?” Su Guangrui glared at Su Linlin, but his eyes were full of laughter.

Seeing her father’s unusual look, Su Linlin felt puzzled, like a Monk scratching his head in confusion—what was going on?

Why was this guy in their house?

At that moment, He Lanyu called from the kitchen, asking Su Linlin to come in and help.

Su Linlin quickly went inside.

“Mom, how come this guy has turned up at our place?” Su Linlin asked curiously.

“Still playing dumb, hm?

You’ve got a boyfriend and didn’t tell us earlier?

I think this young man looks quite spirited and handsome.

You need to seize the opportunity this time, don’t let him get away,” He Lanyu said with a smile on her face.

She was happy that her daughter had such good taste.

“Mom, what are you talking about?

What boyfriend?

Where would I get a boyfriend from?” Su Linlin asked, utterly confused—she had no idea what her mother was talking about.

“Alright, enough, you’re a grown-up and still shy?

Anyway, as long as you like him, that’s what matters; our opinions are just for reference,” He Lanyu said, still smiling.

Although Su Linlin didn’t know what had happened, she was sure it had something to do with Xiang Yu.

She marched out, her presence imposing, just in time to hear Xiang Yu stand up and say, “Uncle, I’ll go to your office tomorrow.

We can discuss the official business there.”

“Very well, you come find me there tomorrow…”
