Reborn as Zhao Ruilong of Handong, I will defy fate.

"Do you think that's possible? The two of them booked a hotel room? Are you kidding me?"

"She just wanted to use Zhao Ruilong to get rid of Liang Wei's entanglement."

Wu Xinyi spoke with great certainty.

How can you be so sure?

Wu Huifen looked at her eldest sister with a puzzled expression.

"Actually, Liang Wei came to my house the night before last..."

Wu Xinyi roughly recounted the conversation she overheard in the living room at the time.

After listening, Wu Huifen let out a soft sigh.

"Sigh, if I had known that Liang Wei and his second sister were two scoundrels, I shouldn't have introduced him to Xiao Ke in the first place."

Wu Xinyi chuckled.

"Who would have thought that a man could be so despicable and shameless?"

“A normal man, let alone a year or two, might give up after half a year or even half a month if he can’t win her over.”

"But he's not giving up. Instead, he's intensifying his efforts. Even when Xiao Ke tells him to his face that she fell in love with Zhao Ruilong at first sight and that she would marry no one but him, he still won't give up."

Wu Huifen sighed again.

"So if I were Xiao Ke, I would probably find a man and put on a show to make him give up completely, otherwise I would really be harassed indefinitely, and even my work would be affected."

Wu Xinyi lowered her voice and muttered:

"That's right. After buying the car yesterday morning, he went to the Jingzhou Municipal Procuratorate to see Xiao Ke. That bright red new car was incredibly eye-catching. In the evening, Xiao Ke invited Zhao Ruilong to dinner, and he shamelessly followed along."

"Based on my understanding of Xiao Ke, she must have acted on impulse and wanted to use Zhao Ruilong to put on a show. Because in Jingzhou and even the entire Handong, only Zhao Ruilong is not afraid of Liang Wei abusing his power for personal gain or retaliating!"

Wu Huifen smiled helplessly.

"That's true. Think back to when Liang Lu relentlessly pursued Qi Tongwei, and when he refused to agree, he was dealt with terribly."

"He was shot three times and almost lost his life, but what good is being a drug enforcement hero? He only got promoted and given important responsibilities after coming to Wuhan University and kneeling down to propose to Liang Lu in public?"

Upon hearing the name Qi Tongwei, Wu Xinyi was immediately taken aback.

"By the way, the Liang family suffered a series of misfortunes last night. Qi Tongwei and Liang Lu shouldn't be going to Luzhou today, right?"

Wu Huifen glanced out the window and coldly laughed:

“That’s hard to say!”

"At such a critical juncture, both of my sons have run into trouble one after another."

"Given Liang Shuji's awareness, he must have known that he had no hope of advancing."

"So if I were him, I would temporarily put aside my two sons and go to Luzhou with my daughter and son-in-law."

"After all, our Lao Gao was promoted by him. He's not old, but he has a lot of power. Isn't he the future backer of the Liang family?"

Wu Xinyi nodded and said, "That's true. In the system, if you don't advance, you fall behind. Once he realizes that he's no longer capable, he'll definitely have to find a backer for his children."

"Besides, his eldest son has been formally detained for intentional injury, and his youngest son is in the intensive care unit, so he can't visit him. Rather than staying at home and brooding, he might as well go to Luzhou."

Just as Wu Huifen was about to continue the conversation, her cell phone rang in her handbag.

She initially thought it was a call from her husband, Gao Yuliang.

Unexpectedly, it was Qi Tongwei.

"It's him!"

"Answer the call and listen to what he has to say."

Wu Huifen answered the phone, and Wu Xinyi leaned closer to her.

"Teacher Wu, it's me, Tongwei. Have you set off yet?"

"I've already left by bus, what about you?"

"I was just saying I'd drive over to pick you up, but I didn't expect you'd already left. Well, we'll head out right away."

"Okay, drive carefully then, see you in Luzhou."

"Okay, Teacher Wu."

Wu Huifen smiled and hung up the phone.

The smile vanished the next second.

"Did you hear that? He's talking about us!"

"This means that at least one of Liang Lu and Liang Qunfeng will go to Luzhou with him, or even both of them."

Wu Xinyi looked at her daughter, who was fast asleep in the other seat, with some distress.

"Let alone two people, even just one person would be awkward to see them!"

"Although Liang Wei and Liang Hai have ended up in this situation, it is their own fault."

"But no matter what, it all started because Xiao Ke and Zhao Ruilong went to a hotel to check in."

Wu Huifen had a sudden inspiration.

"Then why don't you make this a real show?"

"Let's just assume they've really started dating and actually gone to a hotel together as a couple."

"No matter how unreasonable Liang Lu is, does she dare to curse at people?"

"Even if Liang Qunfeng went, he wouldn't dare to do anything to Xiao Ke!"

……

Lu Yike, fast asleep, had no idea what her mother and aunt were talking about.

They were fierce and domineering for nearly thirty years.

When she met Zhao Ruilong, she was utterly defeated and had to kneel on the bed begging for mercy.

Nowadays, on air-conditioned long-distance buses, you can sleep all the way to the final stop.

She felt she could have continued sleeping if her mother hadn't pushed her awake.

I followed the train off the train and out of the station in a daze, then got into a taxi and went back to sleep.

Upon arriving at the tranquil and elegant farmhouses adjacent to Crescent Lake...

Lu Yike was woken up and got out of the car, but she was still a little sleepy.

But when she saw a black Audi sedan with the license plate number Han O-00003 parked in the yard.

Suddenly, I became fully awake.

"Liang Qunfeng is here?"

Wu Xinyi immediately glared at her.

"Don't be so disrespectful, you should still call him Liang Shuji."

Wu Huifen smiled and said, "Today is not a work occasion, you can call him uncle."

The three of them entered the courtyard, but had not yet reached the main hall.

Qi Tongwei, dressed formally in a shirt and trousers, quickly came to greet him.

"Hello Teacher Wu, hello Aunt Wu, hello Xiao Ke."

Looking at Qi Tongwei's warm and bright smile.

Lu Yike was truly impressed.

A man who can propose to a woman ten years his senior in public is truly extraordinary!

The brother-in-law's older brother was detained, and the younger brother-in-law's younger brother was in the ICU, yet they could still laugh as if nothing had happened.

"We set off early, yet we're still late. Tongwei, did you speed the whole way here?"

Wu Huifen asked jokingly.

"No, no, absolutely not. I was driving strictly within the speed limit."

Qi Tongwei waved his hands repeatedly.

"Is your father-in-law here too?" Wu Xinyi asked with a smile.

"You're here. You're having tea and chatting with Teacher Gao and the others over there. I'll take you there."

Qi Tongwei was enthusiastic and proactive.

If you didn't know better, you'd think he was Gao Yuliang's biological son.

Not far ahead, we saw Gao Yuliang, Liang Qunfeng, Li Dakang, and some leaders from Luzhou City chatting over tea.

Liang Lu was also there.

However, he was chatting with Li Dakang's wife, Ouyang Jing, and other female relatives at a tea table next to him.

When Qi Tongwei brought Lu Yike and the other two, Gao Yuliang immediately stood up.

"Teacher Wu, come and sit down!"

"Xinyi, Xiaoke, please make yourselves at home!"

Lu Yike handed over a box of tea that her mother had prepared in advance with both hands, and said with a smile:

"Uncle, happy birthday."

"Thank you, Xiao Ke. It's so thoughtful of you to know I love tea."

Gao Yuliang accepted the gift box with both hands, his smile radiant.

But Lu Yike found it utterly disgusting.

Because Gao Yuliang, who came from a teaching background, didn't like him before.

She once said that she was almost thirty and still no one wanted her because she wasn't gentle at all.

But now...

He clearly knew what had happened in Jingzhou last night.

She knew that Liang Qunfeng was unlikely to make progress, but she herself might become Zhao Lichun's daughter-in-law.

Their attitude suddenly made a complete 180-degree turn.

Even when he offered her tea, he bowed slightly and accepted it with both hands.

Since Gao Yuliang, the clerk of Luzhou City, had already shown such an attitude, the others naturally followed suit with great enthusiasm.

Even Liang Qunfeng smiled and praised herself for being young, beautiful, and promising.

"It seems the rumors about me and Zhao Ruilong have spread far and wide!"

“They used to treat me like I didn’t exist at every gathering, but now they’re incredibly welcoming.”

"It seems everyone has already decided that I am Zhao Shuji's future daughter-in-law!"

"So today is destined to be my shining moment, Lu Yike!!"

Just as Lu Yike was secretly delighted.

"Xiao Ke, it's been a long time! You look great today, it seems like you have some good news to share?"

Ouyang Jing stood up with a laugh and waved, "Come and sit down, Judge Wu, you come and sit down too!"

The women quickly made room for each other.

Liang Lu, who is usually proud and arrogant, actually took the initiative to move two chairs over.

"What good news do I have? If I had to say something happy, it's that I survived a drive-by robbery a couple of days ago."

As soon as Lu Yike sat down, someone laughed and said:

"A narrow escape from death is sure to bring good fortune, and your good fortune is clearly falling in love with Governor Zhao's son!"

Lu Yike glanced at Liang Lu, whose smile was stiff, and sighed heavily.

"What a pity! Someone ruined it, and we couldn't even book a room. How are we supposed to fall in love now?"

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Liang Lu hesitated for two seconds before finally standing up and bowing.

"Xiao Ke, I'm sorry. I apologize to you on behalf of my reckless and ignorant younger brother, Liang Wei!"
