The True Colors of a Hero

Chapter 8: The fake son-in-law meets his father-in-law

Chen Mengxi entered the first villa on the left, opened the door, and walked inside with Liu Xun.

The three of them came to the living room, and just as they were about to change their shoes, Li Mengyao's expression froze. Looking at a pair of military boots, her face became extremely ugly, and she said softly: "Mengxi, my dad is also here..."

When Chen Mengxi heard Li Mengyao's words, her smiling face suddenly turned bitter, and she said softly: "Why is your dad here?"

Li Mengyao smiled bitterly, glanced at Liu Xun's military uniform, and whispered: "The question now is not why my father is here, but what should we do about this matter?"

Just kidding, you have to know that Li Mengyao's father is a high-ranking official in the S City Military District. He may not recognize this military uniform, but he still knows whether there is a captain named Liu Xun in his own military district.

"We should try our best to save the dying horse and say that Liu Xun is from another military district." Chen Mengxi was also anxious and spoke nonsense.

Li Mengyao covered her face, sighed, shook her head, and denied it: "Is this possible? The military uniform is the uniform of the Nanjing Military Region, and the rank is also the rank of the S City Security Department. Now you say he is from another military region? Do you think your father and my father are fools?"

When Chen Mengxi heard this, he immediately became deflated, like an eggplant hit by frost.

"Forget it. Now we can only make the best of it. Let's bet that my dad won't expose it, and that your dad won't ask my dad about it afterwards." Li Mengyao bit her red lips with her pearly teeth and said fiercely.

"Is this possible?" Chen Mengxi looked at Li Mengyao numbly. She had never thought that this would happen. Chen Mengxi's heart was completely in chaos.

Liu Xun listened to the two people's words and smiled in his heart. What is the saying that no one knows a son better than his father? This is the true interpretation. Obviously, Chen's father must have expected Chen Mengxi to do this, and Chen Mengxi's best girlfriend in S City is Li Mengyao. Chen's father can figure out the thoughts of these two young people with just a little thought.

"Why don't you come in now that you're home? Even if you two girls want to have a private conversation, you can't leave the guests hanging out there with you, right?"

At this moment, a voice came from the living room. As the voice sounded, Chen Mengxi's expression became completely bitter, and Li Mengyao also looked resigned to her fate.

Chen Mengxi and Li Mengyao's faces were not very good, but they had no choice but to go in. But just as they were about to enter, they found that Liu Xun was gone...

"Hello, uncle." Liu Xun's voice came from the living room. Chen Mengxi's face changed and he murmured softly: "It's over. This time it's completely messed up..."

Li Mengyao sighed. She had prepared herself mentally because her father would definitely give her a political lesson when she returned home.

Borrowing military uniforms, borrowing military ranks... Li Mengyao can already foresee the content of the political class...

Speaking of Liu Xun, when he entered the living room, the first thing he saw was a middle-aged man with bright eyes and angular face. The middle-aged man was full of shrewdness, and he was obviously Chen Mengxi's father.

Next to Chen's father sat a middle-aged man wearing a long jacket. Although he was wearing a long jacket, Liu Xun could tell at a glance that he was a soldier.

He has the unique aura of a soldier, with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes. His eyes are as sharp as a knife. It seems that his eyes can see through a person's heart.

"Hello, Chief." The sudden change made Liu Xun particularly uncomfortable with this military uniform. Now... this Nanjing Military Region uniform was undoubtedly a burden.

"Well, a very energetic young man." Father Li looked at Liu Xun and nodded secretly. At this moment, Li Mengyao and Chen Mengxi walked in with unnatural expressions.

Father Chen glanced at his daughter, then at Liu Xun, and immediately said with a smile: "Mengxi, why don't you introduce me?"

"Ah, he is..." Chen Mengxi's mind was completely confused. She didn't know how to explain Liu Xun's identity.

"Uncle, my name is Liu Xun, and I'm Mengxi's boyfriend." Liu Xun knew it was his turn to take action. Although he and Chen Mengxi had only known each other for a short time, Liu Xun already knew exactly how capable this girl was.

Liu Xun's words made Chen's father raise his thick eyebrows, and then asked Liu Xun: "You said you are Mengxi's boyfriend, then how did you know my daughter?"

"We met in America." Liu Xun said calmly, neither humble nor arrogant. Seeing this, Chen Mengxi immediately cooperated and said to Chen's father: "Yes, we met in America."

Father Chen glanced at his daughter and continued to ask Liu Xun: "What do you do? A soldier?"

After these words fell, Chen Mengxi's face turned bitter. He was about to speak, but was stopped by Chen's father's cough. Liu Xun sighed in his heart, it seemed that he had to take action himself.

Liu Xun scratched his head and smiled, making an embarrassed expression, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

This is a double-edged sword. The answer is a soldier, but what does a soldier do abroad? And Li's father is here too, so it doesn't work at all.

But if he is not a soldier, then why is he wearing this military uniform? Saying that he bought it on the street? This is even more unreasonable.

"Be a man and say what you want to say! Don't be so shy like a woman." Before Chen's father could say anything, Li's father shouted.

Liu Xun smiled in his heart and said, "Actually, I was just working in the United States. After I met Mengxi, we fell in love. I came back this time because you, uncle, arranged for her to get engaged. I am not qualified for this with my humble status, so Mengxi borrowed a military uniform for me and told me to say I was a soldier."

When Chen's father heard what Liu Xun said, he chuckled and said, "This really seems like something my daughter could do. Please continue."

Liu Xun smiled apologetically and said with great embarrassment: "This... there is really nothing to say, but uncle, Mengxi did this just to get your approval, so please don't blame Mengxi."

"Okay, stop saying good things for her. Don't I know what my own daughter is like?" Father Chen glared at Chen Mengxi, who immediately lowered his head and dared not speak.

Father Chen said this, looked at Liu Xun and nodded, then said: "I don't want to interfere too much in your affairs as young people. My original intention was just for the two children to meet. If there is such a possibility, it would be better. If not, how can I force my daughter? I only have such a precious child! I would not wrong anyone, but I would never wrong her!"

"Dad..." After Chen's father said this, Chen Mengxi's eyes suddenly misted up and she threw herself into her father's arms.

"Okay, okay, you're a grown-up girl, and you're still crying." Father Chen looked at Chen Mengxi with a kind and doting look in his eyes, and then said to Liu Xun: "As the old saying goes, a man without integrity cannot stand. You are honest. I won't interfere with your relationship with Mengxi, but that doesn't mean I agree with you two. As for the final outcome, it depends on you."

"Dad, won't you force me to get engaged?" When Chen Mengxi heard her father say this, she immediately raised her head, tears still on her eyelashes, and said pitifully.

Upon hearing this, Chen's father laughed out loud and scolded, "Silly girl, when did I ever force you? But you still have to meet him. After all, his father and I have already made an agreement. Of course, this has absolutely nothing to do with the word engagement. It's just a formality for us to have a meal together."

"Yeah." Chen Mengxi smiled immediately when she heard this, and Liu Xun also smiled, because he knew that his work would be completed soon, and he could get the money and return home.

"Okay, Liu Xun just came to S City, you can take him to the mall and buy him some clothes, and we can have dinner together tomorrow." Chen's father's original name was Chen Jiancheng. He started from scratch and has accumulated wealth today. It is conceivable what kind of person he is.

With Chen Jiancheng's words, Chen Mengxi happily pulled Liu Xun out of the house. If you didn't know, you would really think that these two were a couple.

When Liu Xun and the other two left the villa, Chen Jiancheng looked at Li Wangguo, chuckled and said, "Old Li, what do you think of Liu Xun?"

"I feel like he has a bit of a military air. Why? Do you need me to check him out?" Li Wangguo picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and closed his eyes.

"Let's check it out. If he has a clean background and Mengxi really likes him, I can help him. After all, I also started from scratch and don't want my daughter to follow the same path as me." Chen Jiancheng sighed and said softly.

"By the way, I heard that you have been having trouble in business recently? What's going on?" After talking about personal matters, they naturally talked about the usual things. Li Wangguo grasped this point very well.

Chen Jiancheng shook his head and smiled, slapped his thigh, and cursed with a smile: "What else can it be? A young master suddenly appeared in the Situ family. This young master... is more difficult to deal with than that old ghost Situ."

"Oh? The Situ Group, which is one of the two giants in China along with your Chen Enterprise? That's not right. Where did this old fellow Situ Minghao get his son?" Li Wangguo obviously knew about the Situ Group, so he asked in confusion.

"Who knows, the person who suddenly appeared two years ago, it is said that his name is Situ Feng. Although he is not very old, his scheming and methods are much more ruthless than some of the older generations." There was a trace of fear in Chen Jiancheng's eyes.

"Situ Feng? How come I've never heard of him?" Li Wangguo muttered to himself. Chen Jiancheng raised his teacup and whispered, "I checked him out. He is a son of Situ Minghao who was lost in his early years. Before he returned to the Situ family, he had another name! Liu Zhang..." (To be continued)
