Qian Huarong had already recognized that the man standing with Xu Tianyu was the mayor of Lindong City, Liao Xuehai. He had seen him from afar at a meeting in the city a long time ago.

At that time, Mayor Liao was talking to Wang Guangqi cordially, he was only the owner of a small factory at that time, and he was able to participate in that meeting because Wang Guangqi brought it in, and it was that meeting that made him see Wang Guangqi's ability, so he started to cling to it.

But what he didn't know was that Mayor Liao cordially received all the participants in that meeting, because it was a mobilization meeting at all, otherwise he would not have been allowed to get in.

The moment he recognized Mayor Liao, Qian Huarong was a little at a loss, and he blushed because of his presumptuous words just now.

He stammered, "Liao...... Mayor Liao, I didn't know it was you......"

Yes, if he knew that this was Mayor Liao's home, and Teacher Liao was the mayor's daughter, he would never be so arrogant, and he would definitely not dare to come out in fright.

Mayor Liao snorted in his nose, and the expression on his face was solemn, how could he still look like he was gagging when he was playing chess with his father just now.

"Do you mean that if it weren't for me, you would have been able to accuse an excellent people's teacher and a good student for no reason?" Mayor Liao asked sternly.

Qian Huarong's face turned pale, the corners of his mouth trembled, but he couldn't say anything to defend himself, in fact, he didn't dare to defend himself. Excellent people's teacher, of course, Liao Yanran, he naturally has no opinion, the mayor's daughter is not good, who else can be excellent?

But is that good student talking about Xu Tianyu? Why does he feel so awkward, when did that little rascal become a good student?

But it was still that sentence, he didn't dare to defend it at all, so he could only silently agree with this sentence.

He tried to squeeze out a smile that was more ugly than crying, and said tremblingly, "Mayor, I didn't mean that. ”

"Okay, you're inviting people to be guests, and this is not your city government, what kind of official authority is it. Old Man Liao suddenly said unhappily.

He didn't want to help Qian Huarong speak, but he couldn't get used to his son's domineering posture when he spoke to people.

Mayor Liao smiled bitterly, the serious expression on his face softened a little, waved his hand and said, "Don't be stunned, let's all come to dinner, today is just an ordinary party to eat, let's talk about anything at the dinner table." ”

Saying that, Mayor Liao first flattered the old man and invited him to take a seat, and then sat down. Waiting for the mayor to sit down, Xu Tianyu and the others dared to sit down in turn.

Qian Huarong was sitting precariously, his face was nervous, and his hand holding the chopsticks was trembling slightly, not as calm as his daughter Qian Xiaohui.

In fact, Qian Xiaohui didn't know that Teacher Liao was the mayor's daughter, but now that she knew the truth, her heart was also settled, with the mayor's support, her father would not be persecuting her, right?

She glanced at Xu Tianyu secretly, and then swept over Chen Xiuqiao, who was next to him, her eyes drooped, and there was a hint of gloom in her eyes, but they were well hidden and did not let anyone find out.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was not lively, because there was a mayor here, and no one dared to speak if he did not speak.

The Liao family's family education is very strict, and they believe in eating without saying anything, so even the old man himself is chewing slowly without making too much noise.

The meal was finished in a dull atmosphere, and it was not until everyone came to the living room that Liao Yanran made a pot of tea and the atmosphere was enlivened again.

Xu Tianyu was worried about the old man's body, and said with concern, "Old man, your body is fine, right?

"No, it feels good. The old man smiled, "I've been exercising lately, doing tai chi or something, and I feel much better than before." ”

Mayor Liao on the side was full of relief and said with emotion, "Thanks to Xiao Xu, our family really doesn't know how to thank you." ”

Qian Huarong had been sitting silently on the single sofa next to him, but his ears were erect high, listening carefully to the conversations of several people. For Xu Tianyu and the Liao family's familiar and intimate relationship, he was both surprised and envious.

His mind instantly came alive again, that night, didn't this Xu Tianyu say in public that he liked his daughter? If he became his son-in-law, wouldn't he be much stronger than Mayor Wang and Mayor Li?

Qian Huarong's eyes lit up, and they were all looked at by Qian Xiaohui. How could Qian Xiaohui, who knew his father very well, not know what he was thinking? He couldn't help but be anxious and angry, his face flushed, for fear that he would say something inappropriate in public, but Xu Tianyu's object was still on the scene.

She didn't notice that her embarrassed expression was all in Xu Tianyu's eyes.

Xu Tianyu pondered for a while, feeling that it was time to talk about it.

He smiled and said to Mayor Liao, "Mayor, it is said that it is difficult for officials to cut off family affairs, and today I dare to ask you to call the shots and cut off family affairs." ”

Mayor Liao's serious face couldn't help but show a curious look, "What? Xiao Xu, are you in trouble?" However, let me explain first, if it is really a housework, what I say may not be effective." You also said that it is difficult for a clean official to cut off family affairs. ”

Xu Tianyu smiled and hurriedly explained, "It's not my family's business, it's my classmate Qian Xiaohui, I hope you can make the decision for Xiaohui." ”

Classmate Qian Xiaohui? Mayor Liao is even more curious, this kid not only treats people, but when will he become an aunt in the neighborhood committee?

"Then you can tell me. Mayor Liao said with interest.

"That's right. Xu Tianyu's face was straight, and he said, "Xiaohui is a very good student, she has her own ideals and plans for life, but Mr. Qian doesn't care about her daughter's feelings, and he has to force her to marry, do you think he did the right thing?"

What he said was very polite, and he simply said that Qian Huarong was a bastard parent. Qian Huarong's face changed instantly, he was anxious to explain, but he opened his mouth but couldn't speak, because Xu Tianyu was telling the truth.

Mayor Liao's face returned to his previous seriousness, he first glanced at Qian Huarong, and looked at Qian Huarong in horror. looked at Qian Xiaohui who lowered her head again, and saw her sitting there alone, like a helpless child.

Gradually, a wave of anger rose from his heart, he was the person who paid the most attention to family education, and he also respected the wishes of his children very much. Take Liao Yanran as an example, he has never interfered with where she wants to work, when she wants to have a boyfriend, and when she wants to get married.

It's not that you don't care, but you respect your child's ideas.

Qian Huarong saw that the mayor's face was getting heavier and heavier, and while resenting Xu Tianyu for being troublesome, he hurriedly tried to redeem a little bad impression in the mayor's heart.

He hurriedly explained, "Mayor, there is a misunderstanding in this, Xiaohui and the Wang family originally had a marriage contract, it's a big deal that I won't force her to get married now, and when she finishes college, it's okay, right?"

"After going to college?" Xu Tianyu sneered and took over his words, "But do you know what Xiaohui's ideal is? Her ideal is to study abroad and make a career in the future, rather than marrying hastily after graduating from college, and then having a husband and children with peace of mind for the rest of her life!"

Xu Tianyu's words were loud and sound, hitting Qian Huarong's heart, this is his daughter's ideal? But why did he never know?

"Xiaohui, how are you ...... Never talked about it?" Qian Huarong muttered distractedly.

Qian Xiaohui finally raised her head, and her clear eyes were already full of tears. Her voice was small, but unusually firm.

"Why don't I say it, because you are so focused on your business that you never care what I think. In fact, I want to study abroad, just to escape from this home, to escape from this home that has been suppressed for a long time!"

finally said the truest thoughts in her heart, Qian Xiaohui burst into tears instantly, and all the grievances and unwillingness turned into tears, flowing wantonly on her delicate face.

Liao Yanran hurriedly sat down beside her, reached out and patted her back and comforted her softly, for a while, only Qian Xiaohui's soft crying echoed in the living room.

"I was wrong, Xiaohui, I was really wrong. ”

Qian Huarong suddenly spoke, his eyes were also a little red, after all, father and daughter were connected, and he really felt his daughter's suffering.

"In the future, I won't force you anymore, if you want to go abroad, I will support you, even if you are bankrupt!"

With his statement, the atmosphere in the living room suddenly relaxed.

This is to hear Liao Yanran said with a smile, "Mr. Qian, you don't have to go bankrupt, Xiaohui's grades have always been good, and she is also preparing to participate in this year's national mathematics competition, as long as she can get good results, it is still easy to apply for a foreign university, and now it is not as good as before, studying abroad is much easier." ”

Listening to Mr. Liao's introduction, Qian Huarong will not object to her daughter realizing her ideals. It's just that he still has a doubt in his heart, why does Xu Tianyu support it, isn't he dealing with his daughter?

As if knowing what he was thinking, Xu Tianyu said sincerely to Qian Huarong, "Uncle Qian, I also have to admit a mistake, in fact, there is no such relationship between me and Xiaohui, the reason why I said I liked Xiaohui that night was purely to relieve her." ”

Before Xu Tianyu could finish speaking, he instantly felt a sharp gaze coming from Chen Xiuqiao, who was sitting beside him. Then he felt a pain in his waist again, Chen Xiuqiao's little hand pinched the soft flesh on his waist fiercely, and twisted it vigorously, and Xu Tianyu, who was almost painless, jumped up.

Xu Tianyu realized it later, and he couldn't wait to slap himself, why did he mention this stubble.

Feeling that Chen Xiuqiao's gaze was becoming more and more dangerous, with a hint of suspicion and exploration, Xu Tianyu instantly burst out with a strong desire to survive.

He hurriedly added, "I have a target, and Sister Xiuqiao is my object, so Uncle Qian must not misunderstand." ”
