After the duel with Zhao Yin ended, Xiao Zheng began an extremely busy work life. First, I traveled around, held meetings, met with clients, including business talks with some partners.
Just as His Majesty Ling Lai said, many people would not intervene in his battle with Old Demon Lin. On the one hand, he was afraid of Old Demon Lin. On the other hand, it is also inconvenient to intervene.
After all, this is a contest between the father-in-law and the son-in-law. Who would be a bad guy when they are idle
Of course, in the eyes of many people, Xiao Zheng has created miracles many times. But defeating the old demon Lin is a miracle in itself. It's not that difficult either.
Many people are not even optimistic that Xiao Zheng can defeat Lin Laoyao in this battle.
That night, my sister-in-law, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, finally came to Xiao's house for dinner.
My sister-in-law rarely shows up recently. Basically, she is busy with her increasingly heavy workload. Even if Xiao Zheng occasionally asked her to have dinner, she was not free.
Jessica prepared a sumptuous dinner for her sister-in-law.
The old housekeeper knows his sister-in-law's tastes, and even more so, he knows that she advocates a foreign-style life. Therefore, in terms of cooking ingredients, relatively Western flavors are also selected.
It suits my sister-in-law's taste, but not that of Brother Azheng.
"Jessica, you are getting more and more stupid now." Xiao Zheng made a joke. Take a sip of borscht. Maybe it was made very authentic, but to Xiao Zheng, the taste was really average.
"Ladies first." Jessica smiled. "And my Chinese food is really average."
Xiao Zheng was about to say something, but was interrupted by Lin Xiaozhu: "Brother-in-law, are you still jealous of me?"
Xiao Zheng smiled and took the initiative to give in: "I don't dare."
"That's fine." Lin Xiaozhu smiled. "I enjoyed my meal, aren't you happy?"
Xiao Zheng was speechless and had no choice but to eat the plate of spaghetti.
After the harmonious dinner, Lin Xiaozhu suggested that he and Xiao Zheng go for a walk in the garden. And no one was brought with him. Including An Shao, who is very close to Xiaozhu.
When he came to the garden, Xiao Zheng first lit a cigarette in the wind. Then he stole a glance at his sister-in-law.
When she came out of the house, the smile on her sister-in-law's face gradually faded, and she looked worried.
"What's wrong? Are you worried?" Xiao Zheng puffed out a puff of smoke and asked casually.
Recently, Brother Azheng has been controlling his smoking habit again.
Some time ago, I was under great pressure and heavy burden. He basically smokes a pack a day. Since the conflict with Zhao Yin ended. Plus three months in the hospital. Xiao Zheng's smoking addiction has gradually come under control. Adjusted from one pack a day to five or eight sticks a day now. It's quite a leap.
And Lao Lin also made a request to him. Don’t force Brother Azheng to quit completely. As long as it can be controlled within ten a day, she will not interfere.
Of course, the premise is to try not to smoke at home.
Secondhand smoke is not a good thing for two young children.
Although Mr. An has asked Brother Azheng for cigarettes more than once and wants to taste them.
For this reason, Lin Huayin, who had never done anything to An Shao, gave An Shao a good beating. He also warned him that if he dared to touch it before he turned eighteen, his legs would be broken.
An Shao was so frightened that he swore he would never touch it again in his life.
"What a coward." Brother Azheng once laughed at An Shao. "Look at how fierce your father is. He will do it as soon as he says it."
He also demonstrated it in front of Mr. An on the spot.
Mr. An glanced sideways at Xiao Zheng, curled his lips and said, "Do you think I'm really a coward? I don't want my mother to be unhappy. Is anyone else as heartless as you?"
Brother Azheng was speechless.
When Lin Xiaozhu heard Xiao Zheng's initiative to ask, he just raised his eyes slightly, glanced at Xiao Zheng and said, "I've heard all about it."
Xiao Zheng didn't hide it either. A wry smile appeared on his face, and he pursed his lips and said, "This is not what I thought. It is forced by the current situation."
"I know." Lin Xiaozhu nodded and said meaningfully. "Then will you treat Daddy like you treat Zhao Yin?"
Of course Lin Xiaozhu was afraid.
One is her father. Although he is very strict, he obviously prefers his sister. But Lin Xiaozhu's feelings for Lin Laoyao were extremely deep.
And she also knew that her mother could not live without her father. If something happened to her father, she would be fine, she had grown up after all. But what about mother? How to spend the rest of your life
Others may not understand their mothers that well. But as a daughter, she is very aware of her mother's strong feelings for her father.
"I don't want this." Xiao Zheng shook his head gently.
But he didn't want to deceive his sister-in-law.
Will the future battle with Lin Laoyao be limited to business wars
Xiao Zheng doesn't think so.
Perhaps, when the business war ends, it will be the moment when he and Mr. Lin have their peak showdown.
Moreover, his business war with Lin Laoyao was not intended to defeat the Lin family or Xinao. This is also impossible to accomplish within three to five years.
The two sides only need to compete on a certain platform. It's enough to see who can win the final victory.
After that, they will most likely choose an occasion to have a duel. A fair fight between strong men.
This is Lin Laoyao's road to revenge.
A must-pass path for Xiao Zheng.
He had no choice and couldn't escape.
Because his opponent is Lin Laoyao, no matter how far he goes to the end of the world, he will never escape Lin Laoyao's revenge.
"Brother-in-law, you don't want to, but you will do it. Right?" Lin Xiaozhu's delicate body trembled slightly. His face turned a little pale. There was also a complex look on that beautiful face.
She knew that she should not blame her brother-in-law, and she was even less qualified to ask her brother-in-law.
But these two men were the most important in her life. She didn't want any of them to get hurt. And it was hurt by the other party.
This is really cruel to Xiaozhu.
"Xiao Zhu. I don't want to lie to you." Xiao Zheng said with a serious face. "As long as your father nods, I will immediately put up the no-war card. I will never start a war with him."
Lin Xiaozhu stared at Xiao Zheng, his eyes full of bitterness and helplessness: "But my father won't agree, right?"
Xiao Zheng nodded heavily: "Not only will he not agree, he will also tell me to stop dreaming."
Lin Xiaozhu was a little confused, but more of a pain.
She knew she had no ability to prevent this battle from happening. She knew better that both her brother-in-law and her father had their reasons for fighting.
So what should she do
Watching this happen
"What does sister think of this matter?" Lin Xiaozhu suddenly asked.
Xiao Zheng was also a little surprised and didn't know why Xiao Zhu asked such a question.
Will Lin Huayin's answer change her mind
"Do you want to hear the truth?" Xiao Zheng asked.
"Brother-in-law, you said you would never lie to me." Xiaozhu did not answer directly, but dug out the promise Xiao Zheng had made to her.
"She supports me in everything I do." Xiao Zheng said solemnly. “Your sister said—family comes first.”
I was watching the live broadcast of the LOL intercontinental match from afternoon to 10pm. I was very excited to watch it. Congratulations to the LPL for its successful fight against Korea. Chapter 2 will be updated later.
PS: I don’t have many hobbies, competition is just one of them. Long live understanding.
