When Su Qingming and the others were about to head to the next village, Du Jianxin led his daughter back slowly.

On the way, Du Yueqing blinked her big eyes and asked her father curiously, "Dad, that man I just saw looked so young, could he really be the bureau chief?"

Du Jianxin waved his hand dismissively, "Don't underestimate him. Director Su is young, but he's incredibly capable!"

"Moreover, Comrade Su is a top student who graduated from a prestigious university. He had better opportunities for development, but he was willing to stay in our small county town."

What Mr. Du didn't say was that the Su family held considerable influence in Anshan County.

Maybe these young people just want to be the head of a chicken rather than the tail of a phoenix.

The Su family has connections at both the city and provincial levels. If Director Su wants to climb the ranks, they can give him opportunities at any time.

Du Yueqing was just asking casually; it's fate to meet someone like that by chance.

She might never see him again, so she didn't care about all that nonsense.

Du Yueqing didn't care, but Su Qingming did. When Wang Hekun came to visit again, Su Qingming went along with him to the dinner party.

Originally, Su Qingming, as a leader in the education system, had absolutely no connection with businessmen like Wang Hekun.

If they really need to deal with these businessmen, it will only be when these businessmen make large donations, then everyone will want a share.

The reason Wang Hekun sought out Su Qingming was because his cousin was in charge of economic development in the provincial capital, and Wang Hekun wanted to develop his career there.

He had no connections in the provincial capital and couldn't directly find his cousin Su, so he had to go back to his hometown to find the Su family members who were related to him.

Wang Hekun knew that Su Qingming was a cultured man who disapproved of the mercenary nature of businessmen, so he didn't mention his purpose after they sat down at the table.

Wang Hekun tried his best to find topics that Su Qingming was interested in, but no matter what he said, Su Qingming was not interested.

Having no other choice, Wang Hekun could only find topics he was familiar with, such as reminiscing about the past and talking about the embarrassing things he did in the county town when he was a child.

For example, when he was a child, his parents always compared him to Du Yueqing, the top student in their neighborhood.

Once all the dishes were served, Wang Hekun drank one cup after another with Su Qingming. The old Wang Hekun was never this unguarded.

However, returning to a familiar place inevitably made him feel more relaxed.

So he gradually started talking to Su Qingming, a stranger, about his regret over the divorce and how much he had wronged his ex-wife.

Wang Hekun was talking with great enthusiasm. Seeing that Su Qingming was interested, he thought that Su Qingming was interested in the high-achieving Du Yueqing because he had heard of someone like him.

The conversation with Wang Hekun gradually veered towards this topic.

Looking at Wang Hekun's slightly drunken eyes, Su Qingming casually said, "Such a good wife, and you don't know how to cherish her. It's such a pity. It seems you two are not meant to be. I heard Miss Du already has a boyfriend."

Wang Hekun, who was still a little dizzy, suddenly stopped breathing when he heard that Yueqing had a boyfriend. He remembered that his mother said Yueqing had never brought a man home to meet Uncle Du.

That must just be hearsay, right?

"No way, if Yueqing had a boyfriend, she would definitely bring him back to meet Uncle Du and the others."

Seeing that Wang Hekun didn't believe him, Su Qingming added, "I saw them on a date with my own eyes. He seems to be a colleague of Miss Du's from school, and he's quite handsome."

Wang Hekun's smirk suddenly vanished, and he said stiffly, "Really? Hehe, then I'll go and find out later."

I thought he might have another chance in the future... but it turns out it was just wishful thinking on my part.

Later, Wang Hekun did inquire and learned that Yueqing's current boyfriend was named Zhao Hesheng.

However, her family situation was not good, and with Yueqing's delicate nature, she couldn't endure a hard life.

His anxiety gradually subsided. Yueqing had never been out in society and had grown up under Uncle Du's protection since childhood, so she was very simple-minded.

He knew Yueqing's personality; she would never marry Teacher Zhao unless Uncle Du and Aunt Du agreed.

According to his investigation, Teacher Zhao's mother would not allow her son to marry a divorced woman.

Zhao's mother was always proud of her son, even though Yueqing's family was much better off than hers.

Since Mr. Du is still a school leader, it would be entirely beneficial for Zhao Hesheng to marry Yueqing.

But Zhao's mother wouldn't think that way; she might even feel that Du Yueqing, who was remarried, was not good enough for her precious son.

So, Zhao Hesheng wanted to take his parents to a restaurant in the county town to improve their meals. When Wang Hekun found out, he had a bright idea. He used his son as a pretext to call Yueqing out.

As parents, they should also take some time to be with their child and take him to the amusement park.

Although Yueqing didn't want to go, she couldn't appear too indifferent, so she agreed.

With lunchtime approaching, Wang Hekun suggested going out to eat. Yueqing naturally had no objection. Zhao Hesheng led his parents into the restaurant, and Wang Hekun followed with Yueqing and his son.

Yueqing was quite surprised to run into Zhao Hesheng at the restaurant. She wondered to herself, "Hasn't it been more than a month since we last saw each other?"

Although they were colleagues, no one at school knew they were dating, so when they bumped into each other at school, they would just exchange greetings.

Yueqing hadn't thought much of it before, but Zhao Hesheng always seemed guilty and avoided eye contact with her whenever they met, so Yueqing guessed that he was hiding something from her.

As for what it was, Yueqing was too lazy to investigate. He could say what he wanted to say or not. Anyway, they would separate sooner or later, so there was no need to argue with him.

Thinking about it that way, Yueqing pretended not to see it.

Wang Hekun sat down with Yueqing and her son, but Yueqing still didn't go up to greet them. Yueqing didn't want to have anything to do with the Zhao family.

At first, Zhao Hesheng didn't notice Yueqing, but it was Zhao's mother who noticed him and reminded her son.

Zhao's mother knew Yueqing, but Yueqing didn't know her, since she had known that her son had a girlfriend.

She even went to the school gate to see her son walking side by side with her, looking very affectionate.

Zhao's mother called to Zhao Hesheng, "Son, look at that woman by the window over there, isn't she your girlfriend? Why is she having dinner with a man and a child?"

Seeing that harmonious scene, Zhao's mother felt a little uncomfortable, "They look like a family of three."

Zhao Hesheng, who was looking at the menu, looked over when he heard the voice and it really was Yue Qing. He was overjoyed at first, but then he seemed to remember something and fell silent.

At this moment, Zhao's mother spoke up again, "That girl doesn't seem to have seen us. Why don't you go over and say hello, and introduce us to her?"

Zhao Hesheng knew his parents' thoughts, but he also understood their temperaments. If they knew that Yueqing had been married before, his mother would definitely not agree to them being together.
