314: Chapter 314: Li Zhencheng’s Gesture of Goodwill 314: Chapter 314: Li Zhencheng’s Gesture of Goodwill Upon entering the living room, Tangyu noticed Zhao Xinxin and the other two looking at him with weird expressions.
Evidently, the ti Tangyu had spent in the room was a bit too long, which inevitably led to so overthinking.
“Don’t misunderstand, I didn’t do anything,” Tangyu explained, though he felt his own explanation was sowhat weak.
He only felt that since Liu Shanshan was drunk, he had to clarify things, otherwise they might think he had taken advantage of her.
“Yeah, you didn’t do anything, and we didn’t see anything, but can you explain why your lips are still wet?” Zhao Xinxin said with a smile.
Tangyu’s face instantly turned red.
Bad timing—his lips weren’t even dry from the kiss.
The kiss had been intense, his mouth still tasting sweet.
Being exposed by Zhao Xinxin on the spot, Tangyu felt the urge to cover his face and flee, as though he had been caught doing sothing wrong.
“Things aren’t what you think,” Tangyu admitted, not knowing how else to explain.
“We thought you were going to stay in the room and not co out.
It seems you’re not so lecherous after all.
However, you’d better take responsibility for Shanshan, or I won’t let you off,” Zhao Xinxin said.
“Uh—”
Tangyu chose to keep silent, reminding himself that a wise man does not fight with won.
The atmosphere turned awkward for a while, until Fang Min stood up and said, “Xinxin, Shiyi, I’m going to head back first.”
Hearing Fang Min was leaving, Tangyu hurriedly followed: “I have sothing to take care of too, so I’ll head back now.
Min, let’s go together.”
Once he stepped outside into the fresh air, Tangyu felt much more relaxed.
Being around too many beauties wasn’t necessarily a good thing after all.
“Tangyu, take my car.
I’ll give you a ride back,” Fang Min offered.
“Sure, thanks, Min,” Tangyu said, not refusing.
He got into the car and sat in the passenger seat, noticing that Fang Min was giving him a strange look too.
It appeared that the events earlier had indeed led to so misunderstandings.
Thinking it over, he said, “Min, what happened earlier with Liu Shanshan was not what you think.”
“You don’t need to explain that to , nor do you need to tell anyone else,” Fang Min said with a smile, always understanding.
Tangyu was taken aback for a mont, then realized she was right.
He didn’t need to be so concerned about what these won thought.
Relieved, he put the issue out of his mind.
It was just a kiss, after all.
Wasn’t such a thing quite normal for young people?
“Tangyu, could you—do a favor?” Fang Min suddenly asked while driving.
“Sure, I’d be happy to help you with anything I can, Min,” Tangyu nodded.
But Fang Min hesitated for quite a while before shaking her head and saying, “Never mind, it’s not necessary.”
“Co on, what’s the matter?
Why ntion it if you’re not going to talk about it?” Tangyu said, finding won could be so indecisive.
After another long hesitation, Fang Min bit her lip and said, “Alright, Tangyu, do you rember what I told you last ti?
If you don’t rember—it’s okay, never mind.”
Last ti she said so much, but which thing was she referring to?
It’s not another guessing ga, is it?
Tangyu thought hard, then said, “Min, is it about your parents trying to set you up with dates again?” He rembered jokingly offering to pretend to be her boyfriend to fend off her parents before.
Could it be that?
Such a task, Tangyu was certainly happy to do, helping others for fun.
Seeing that Tangyu had guessed correctly so quickly, Fang Min was slightly startled but then nodded, “Yes, that’s it.
You rember.
Well, since you rember, let explain.
My parents were very angry when they heard about Quan’s matter, but then they imdiately found new dates for , introducing to two yesterday and one more planned for today, which I barely managed to evade.
Ugh, it makes reluctant to go ho now.
I find all these n annoying, none of them seem right.
I’m already twenty-eight, and the dates my dad arranges are all in their thirties, the oldest almost forty.
They say this one’s good, that one’s good, but I don’t like any.
So—”
Fang Min stopped there, not continuing.
Tangyu smiled and said, “Min, you want to pretend to be your boyfriend to deal with your parents, right?
Haha, I’m more than willing to help, just like I ntioned last ti.”
“Yes, that’s what I was thinking,” Fang Min nodded in agreent.
“But what?
You don’t think I’m good enough?” Tangyu asked, half-expecting to be let down.
Fang Min imdiately shook her head, “No, don’t get wrong, Tangyu.
You are excellent in many ways—young, handso, talented, and capable in many areas, all of which I admire.
It’s just—I’m afraid my parents might not accept you.
First, you are younger than , and they might be too traditional to accept that.
Second—even though I know you’re capable, my parents might not think so.
They can’t see your job capabilities, they only look at superficial things.
They might ask if you have a house or a car, question what kind of job you have.
Those things, you don’t have, do you?”
“Well—” Tangyu pursed his lips.
He really didn’t have those external things, and his job was still just a non-staff position, likely not impressive enough for her parents.
Choosing a son-in-law, their standards are quite high.
“I think it’s not necessary to focus on material possessions, actually.
I could afford those things, but I believe more in my personal charm to win over your parents,” Tangyu confidently stated.
Money was no issue for him; nearly ninety million was about to be deposited into his account, and he had quite a bit on him.
As for a car, Uncle Lin had gifted him one worth over a million, which had just been sitting in the garage untouched.
Fang Min gazed thoughtfully at Tangyu for a mont.
This man indeed had a unique charm, and perhaps her parents really would like him.
After so thought, Fang Min couldn’t co up with a better plan—she couldn’t keep being forced into arranged dates, could she?
“Alright then, are you free tomorrow afternoon?” Fang Min asked.
“Tomorrow noon, I should be available.” Tangyu said, though now he wasn’t too sure about his schedule, as sothing urgent could co up.
“Then, how about coming over to my place for lunch tomorrow?” Fang Min asked.
Tangyu thought for a mont and replied, “Hmm, okay, let’s do tomorrow noon.”
“Hmm, thank you, Tangyu.” Fang Min nodded.
Tangyu smiled.
Being thanked by a woman felt pretty good.
“What are you thanking for?
No need to be polite with .”
“Hehe, you might be casual, but I’m not,” Fang Min joked.
“…”
Tangyu just had Fang Min drive him to Donglin University, and once at the school, he imdiately called Liu Shiyi.
The call connected quickly.
“Tangyu, is sothing the matter?” Liu Shiyi sounded a bit busy on the other end.
“Yes, didn’t you say yesterday that you needed my help on a project?
I’m now at the school entrance,” Tangyu said.
“Oh, you’re free now?
That’s great, but I can’t get away at the mont, so I can’t co to et you.
Can you find your way to the dical Laboratory at the dical College?” Liu Shiyi’s voice suddenly filled with joy.
“Hmm, okay, I’ll ask soone.
It shouldn’t be hard to find,” Tangyu nodded.
After hanging up the phone, Tangyu was about to ask soone for directions when a BMW Z4 stopped in front of him.
He recognized soone in the car—an impact leaving an impression—it took him a mont to rember it was Li Zhencheng, whom he had seen once at Donglin University a few nights ago.
Li Zhencheng jumped out of the car and approached Tangyu with a friendly smile, “Let introduce myself.
I’m Li Zhencheng.
I really owe you thanks for last ti.
I haven’t had a chance to properly thank you yet.”
When soone treated him kindly, Tangyu naturally responded in kind, although he felt that Li Zhencheng didn’t give him a particularly comfortable or good feeling, but it wasn’t bad either.
“Hehe, I’m Tangyu.
It was just a little effort last ti, so thanks aren’t necessary,” Tangyu said with a smile.
“It’s the least I could do.
If it weren’t for your tily assistance last ti, the consequences could have been unimaginable, and I, Li Zhencheng, would have been ruined.
Although it was a small effort for you, for , Li Zhencheng, it might have been life-saving.
In my Li family, we respond to even small favors with great gratitude, let alone lifesaving ones.
Mr.
Tangyu, I owe you a big favor.
If there’s ever anything you need in the future, just command , Li Zhencheng definitely won’t hesitate,” Li Zhencheng said sincerely.
That speech did increase Tangyu’s good impression of him by a few points.
He generally admired people who knew how to repay kindness.
“You’re too kind.
Becoming friends is fate, let’s just be friends,” Tangyu replied with a smile.
Li Zhencheng was naturally pleased, imdiately smiling, “To beco a friend of yours is my good fortune.
When would you be available to let treat you to a casual al, just as a small gesture?”
“Well, I’ve actually been quite busy recently.
How about we do it in a few days?” Tangyu said hesitantly, he hadn’t even agreed to several other dinner invitations from beauties yet.
“Hehe, I know you’re a busy man, Tangyu.
Well, you go ahead with your work.
I’ll call you in a few days.
Is it okay if you share your phone number?” Li Zhencheng was still smiling, not minding at all.
“Sure,” Tangyu nodded, and the two quickly exchanged phone numbers.
Having one more friend ant one more path to walk, and Tangyu didn’t mind making this friendship.
After exchanging numbers, Tangyu said, “By the way, do you know how to get to the dical College’s laboratory?”
“I know.
Why, do you need to go there?” Li Zhencheng nodded.
“Yes, I’m eting a friend there, but I don’t know the way,” Tangyu admitted.
“In that case, hop in.
I’ll take you there; I’m headed to that area myself,” Li Zhencheng suggested.
Tangyu didn’t put up any resistance.
“Alright, then I’m in your care, Mr.
Li.”
“Heh, don’t ntion it.
That makes feel a bit embarrassed,” Li Zhencheng said.
The two didn’t waste ti with further politeness.
Tangyu got into the car, and in less than five minutes, the car stopped at the entrance to the dical laboratory.
Donglin University had plenty of rich families’ children, but those driving sports cars on campus were still a rare sight.
Moreover, Li Zhencheng had made a na for himself at Donglin University, not quite a celebrity, but not far from it either, so their arrival did attract quite a bit of attention.
Besides, Li Zhencheng was also quite handso, with the look of a star.
“I’m here,” Tangyu said.
“Okay, if you need anything, just call .
I can handle most things in Donglin city,” Li Zhencheng said.
He wasn’t boasting; his Li family was one of the seven wealthiest forces, and indeed had great sway.
Exaggeration aside, even if soone unimportant got killed, the Li family could cover it up.
