Chapter 236: Chapter 235: Donât Sleep, Get Up and Party! (4) Chapter 236: Chapter 235: Donât Sleep, Get Up and Party! (4) After he finished a cigarette, Qu Guoâan finally digested what his old partner had said.
âWhat do you mean? The marriage report isnât getting approved because someone is messing with it?â
Tang Zelin reached out his hand, Qu Guoâan dug in his pocket, handed him one, and couldnât help but feel a pang of distress, âOnly half a pack left, take it easy.â
A spark ignited, and Tang Zelin leaned back.
âDo you still remember, at the gymâs relocation site, a man came looking for Su Shu?â
Qu Guoâan recalled for a moment, âSeems like there was such a person. What, does Su girl have something to do with that man?â
âNot the relationship youâre thinking of,â he glanced and knew what Qu was thinking, âSheâs unwed.â
âThen whatâs there not to approve?â
Tang Zelin narrowed his eyes, took a drag, slowly exhaled, and with a profound and dangerous look in his eyes, watched the warriors playing soccer on the distant field.
âThe other party has people in Capital City, has been pulling strings, trying to transfer Su Shu from our C City disaster area to Capital City.â
âThe one from last time who dressed up like a dog?â
Tang Zelin gave a faint smile, âDonât speak so harshly. Before the disaster, the fellow was still the president of the Shen Corporation, an elite personage.â
âIâm also a damn disaster relief elite!â Qu Guoâan said scornfully.
Tang Zelin extended his hand to flick off some ash, âSince our C City has been sealed off, the other party canât come in. They took a roundabout way to reach out to the military area. From what I heard, this matter needs to be pressed down and put on hold.â
Qu Guoâan said, âWait, you mean this has reached the military area?â He paused, âThen⊠does your old man know about this?â
Tang Zelin nodded, rubbed his head, and seemed somewhat helpless.
âThe marriage report was temporarily held back by the old man himself.â
âYour old man is eager for you to get married; why would the report get held up after being submitted?â
âIt seems that the other party is quite adamant about taking the person away. My old man saw that I seldom fall for someone and didnât want to let the potential daughter-in-law slip away, fearing he might not get to hold his grandchildren in the future. So he instructed someone to hold it back and see whatâs going on.â
Having said that, Tang Zelin couldnât help but laugh, âMy old man really thinks too much. Heâs afraid that Iâve taken a fancy to the girl, breaking up a pair and forcefully making a move. He even had the higher-ups give me a good interrogation.â He sighed in resignation.
Qu Guoâan also laughed after listening, âHaha, heâs desperate for a daughter-in-law, and yet when sheâs brought to the doorstep, he fears you, the prodigal son, might have stolen her?â
âSomething like that.â
âHahahahahaha!â
After a good laugh, Qu Guoâan felt the key issue here still lay with Su Shu.
âSo how long does this need to be held? The relationship between you two canât be dragged on for too long; dragging it out looks bad,â Qu Guoâan said.
âIâll need to hurry my old man,â he said, expelling a puff of smoke, âThe other side is pressuring us, and the old man just wonât give in. But if we give in to them and casually bring the girl back home now, especially in such times, it wouldnât be right. Delaying for a couple of days would also work.â
âSo youâre just going to wait helplessly? With how things are now, when will you ever manage?â Qu Guoâan worried for him.
A dangerous glint flashed in the depths of Tang Zelinâs eyes as he squinted, âOld Qu, are you getting excited?â
Qu Guoâan: ââŠâ
In what kind of situation would that be exciting?
Flicking off some ash, Tang Zelin smiled, âItâs always been me taking othersâ things; now someone dares to take whatâs mine? Theyâve got guts.â
Qu Guoâan suddenly felt a shiver run down his spine.
This monkey, is he plotting against someone again?
My goodness, why am I also so excited?
