Married the Tough Guy After Transmigrating-Chapter 428: Xu Qingqing Blocks Zhang Linyu and Xu Shengwu
Chapter 428: Chapter 428: Xu Qingqing Blocks Zhang Linyu and Xu Shengwu
"Lin Yu, are you all right?" Deputy Director Zhang hurried over, clutching his daughter with concern when he saw her.
Zhang Linyu shook her head, looking anxiously toward Sun Yiliang at the side of the hospital bed. In a whisper, she pointed and said, "It was this man I hit. He’s still hasn’t woken up. The doctor said there’s no danger to his life now, but why hasn’t he woken up yet?"
Deputy Director Zhang turned and looked at Xu Qingqing, who was weeping with her hands over her face, his expression becoming stern, "Comrade, I am sorry, my daughter is young and naive. Whatever compensation you want, I will try my best to satisfy you."
Xu Qingqing wiped her tears, her grief and indignation profound, "Can compensation bring my man back to life? Can it undo the harm he’s suffered? He still hasn’t woken up, and I don’t even know if he will wake up. Compensation, I don’t lack money, our family is in business."
Deputy Director Zhang looked troubled, seeing Xu Qingqing so distraught; he had only this precious daughter and naturally couldn’t bear to see her in trouble. When he thought that Xu Qingqing was in business, his expression suddenly brightened with a smile, "Comrade, what business are you in? I know quite a few people, some of whom are also in business. If you’re willing, I could connect you with them, providing you with better business opportunities."
Upon hearing this, a barely detectable smile appeared on Xu Qingqing’s face. She knew her wish would soon be realized. Wiping her tears, Xu Qingqing hesitated before saying as she looked at the man in the bed, "Let’s wait for my man to wake up and ask for his opinion on this matter."
Deputy Director Zhang nodded quickly, and soon his secretary came up with a fruit basket and entered the hospital room. Deputy Director Zhang gave his secretary a knowing look; the fruits were immediately placed on the cabinet in the ward.
The secretary whispered in Deputy Director Zhang’s ear, quickly clarifying the identities of Xu Qingqing and the man in the bed. As soon as Deputy Director Zhang heard that Xu Qingqing was from Xujia Village, his face became peculiar. Wasn’t that the village where Xu Ying lived?
On learning that Xu Qingqing was in the business of greenhouse vegetables, Deputy Director Zhang’s face became troubled. To offer to help this comrade expand her greenhouse vegetable business would surely offend Xu Ying. That girl was now a celebrity, always running around, knowing quite a few important leaders in Shanghai. Moreover, her in-laws had a bit of renown; Deputy Director Zhang was somewhat at a loss for a while.
Xu Qingqing, watching Sun Yiliang, who remained long unconscious, grew more anxious. He couldn’t possibly remain unconscious for a lifetime, could he? Then she’d be a widow for the rest of her life. Her face became fraught with urgency.
Deputy Director Zhang, looking at his own daughter with an accusing face, asked, "Where were you? How could you hit someone?" As he said this, he looked at Wu Yu with a belly full of anger—how had she come into contact with these base characters?
Wu Yu, faced with Deputy Director Zhang’s gaze and remembering Xu Shengwu was just a country fellow unworthy of Lin Yu, figured it was better for Deputy Director Zhang to reprimand her than to watch Lin Yu make a mistake. Without thinking, he blurted out, "Lin Yu went to Xujia Village."
Upon hearing this, both Deputy Director Zhang and Xu Qingqing looked at Zhang Linyu with suspicion. Zhang Linyu glared fiercely at Wu Yu, that coward.
Deputy Director Zhang, full of confusion, demanded, "What was she doing in Xujia Village?"
Zhang Linyu was about to speak when Deputy Director Zhang immediately stopped her, "You shut up, Wu Yu, you speak."
Seeing his chance, Wu Yu was overjoyed, "She likes Xu Sheng, who is from Xujia Village."
Hearing this, Xu Qingqing’s heart stalled, Deputy Director Zhang’s daughter actually liked Xu Shengwu?
"That won’t do, if the two families become relatives through marriage, they’ll definitely favor their own and treat others as outsiders. By then, I’ll become the outsider."
How am I supposed to compete with Xu Ying’s business?
She immediately became unsettled, "You like Xu Shengwu, but Xu Shengwu is no good."
Zhang Linyu didn’t take kindly to someone badmouthing her crush, especially in front of her own father.
Deputy Director Zhang, on the other hand, had a glint in his eye. If his daughter married Xu Shengwu, they’d be family.
Then they wouldn’t be opposing the Xu family, and being family, Xu Ying’s capabilities would undoubtedly bring him plenty of benefits.
This must be a godsend. Director Gu had recently made quite a few enemies, and without Xu Ying’s support, his downfall wasn’t far off.
No one else to blame but himself for that, too straightforward for his own good and not understanding how the world works.
"You like Xu Shengwu?" Deputy Director Zhang looked at his daughter and inquired.
Zhang Linyu nodded, oblivious at the moment to what her father was thinking.
Deputy Director Zhang nodded and patted his daughter on the shoulder, saying indifferently, "You’re grown up now, with your own thoughts.
We don’t advocate for arranged marriages these days; it’s all about free love.
I won’t obstruct whoever you like, just don’t do anything foolish."
Wu Yu was suddenly confused, why weren’t things going as he expected?
Why had Deputy Director Zhang agreed to let his daughter be with Zhang Linyu?
In terms of looks, he was no worse off than Xu Shengwu, and when it came to family, they were both formally employed, not inferior to the Xu family.
"Uncle Zhang, Xu Shengwu is just a country bumpkin, he can’t provide the life Linyu wants."
Zhang Linyu was also beaming, "Thank you, Dad."
After speaking, she glared at Wu Yu, "You shut up, coward."
Xu Qingqing couldn’t stay calm either and blurted out to Deputy Director Zhang, "Xu Shengwu’s got someone."
Deputy Director Zhang looked puzzled.
Xu Qingqing thought of Director Gu, who often visited the Xu family. Rumor had it that Director Gu and Deputy Director Zhang were at odds. If Director Gu’s daughter and Xu Shengwu were an item, then Deputy Director Zhang certainly wouldn’t agree to his daughter getting involved with Xu Shengwu.
She immediately said, "Xu Shengwu’s girlfriend is Director Gu’s daughter, that girl is often at Xu Shengwu’s house."
Deputy Director Zhang’s expression changed over and over, staring at Xu Qingqing, he asked, "Are you sure what you’re saying is true?"
Xu Qingqing cried out, "Of course it’s true, Xu Shengwu is my cousin, and I couldn’t be clearer about their family’s affairs."
Deputy Director Zhang’s face turned sour instantly, Old Gu always had to one-up him.
He was better at his job and held a higher position, and even his daughter outshone his own. Now even the man his daughter fancied was being taken by his daughter.
It was just too much.
Zhang Linyu was equally furious, "So what if they’re an item? They’re not married yet.
Dating someone doesn’t guarantee they won’t break up!"
Deputy Director Zhang, hearing his daughter’s words, understood this time she was serious.
Xu Qingqing exploded upon hearing this, she absolutely couldn’t watch Deputy Director Zhang’s daughter end up with Xu Shengwu: "Xu Shengwu and Director Gu’s daughter are very close.
Director Gu’s daughter is also close friends with Xu Ying, the two of them won’t split up. You might as well go like someone else."
Deputy Director Zhang was shrewd and naturally guessed Xu Qingqing’s hidden agenda.
He chuckled and said, "Comrade, are you not getting along with your cousin’s family?"
