Chapter 368 - You Are Our Ideal Son

Chapter 368: Chapter 369 You Are Our Ideal Son

“Why are you telling me this?” I was a small salaryman, and I didn’t have much interest in the competition between companies.

Long Shan did not answer me. Instead, she carried on, “Xu Heng’s accident has accelerated the death of the Long Corporate Group. The Long family no longer has the ability to recover. In this whole incident, there is only one beneficiary…”

I frowned, “the Third Lady?”

“Yes, she completed the plan to acquire the Long Corporate Group at least three years in advance, and entered the domestic market with a savior-like merciful image. While securing a place in the business world of Bei Tian City, she has also won enough reputation, and her success is partly because of your effort.

“It was you who let Xu Heng escape and forced the investigation of the case to be made public. Because of that, the Long family’s allies feared that they would be implicated, so none of them dared to help. It saved the third Lady a lot of trouble,” Long Shan said,

“That’s the reason why the two brothers of the Long Family wanted to create trouble for you and your female police officer friend. No one wants Xu Heng to be arrested more than them, so they wish that you have something to do with Xu Heng’s crime. They are desperate, and desperate people like to fantasize. They believe that once Xu Heng is caught, someone will be willing to save them…”

“Then why are they changing their attitude toward us now?” Although I asked, I already know the answer.

“The reason is the same,” Long Shan said, “The Third Lady is interested in you, and they can’t afford the Third Lady.” After saying this, Long Shan smiled bitterly, “I must apologize to you. The reason why I was angry, and why I took out my anger on you when I heard that Long Yifan invited you to dinner is not only that I don’t like him, or I don’t like people who interact with him. It is mainly because I didn’t want you to see their embarrassment.

“They used to be a powerful and wealthy family, but now, in order to save their family business, they have to wag their tails like a dog to please a woman… I know that I have already cut ties with them, and this has nothing to do with me, but I just don’t feel comfortable to… I’m sorry Chu Nan, I didn’t mean to look down on you. It’s just that…”

“I understand,” I sigh and say, “You just can’t bear to see them being humiliated by other people… Secretary Long, you are a kind person, even if you hate them, you still think about the Long family in your heart. I like your character very much.”

The ripples in Long Shan’s eyes gradually calmed down, and she stared at me in a daze for a long time. It was not until she almost rear-ended the car ahead that she finally smiled with lingering fear, “You little brat, like my character? Hehe, you really know how to please a woman. No wonder Fei’er can’t stop thinking about you and Big Sister also likes you…”

“Big Sister? You mean Mrs. Mo?” A thought suddenly flashed past my mind, but I quickly told myself to stop daydreaming, and only Liusu was my perfect half. Ziyuan’s problem already gave me a lot of headaches, so even if Mrs. Mo agreed to let Mo Fei be with me, would we really be together?

“Xiao Chu, do you know the biggest regret my big sister and I have?”

I knew, but I couldn’t say it, so I shook my head.

“As women, we were not able to become a mother. Although Yizhi once said that we could try in vitro fertilization, but…” Long Shan didn’t continue. She shook her head, the sadness in her eyes flashed across like a shooting star. Then she said to me with a serious face, “You are our ideal son…”

“What?” If this woman was deliberately taking advantage of me, I would consider kicking her out of the car.

“No, I mean, Big Sister and I always like to imagine that if we had a son, what would he be like. And you, you are just like the real version of our imagination,” Long Shan blushed and explained. She calmed down when she saw that my expression eased, and smiled embarrassedly, “It’s weird, right? ”

It was not weird. I had also done the same thing in the past. When I was a child, I often imagined that if my mother was still alive, what would she be like? If my old man found me another mother, what would she be like? Speaking of which, although I liked my stepmother, I was quite disappointed at the beginning. Because I never expected that my stepmother would be much more childish than me…

“Not squeamish, not hypocritical, and mild-tempered, but very manly, very caring, and very considerate; it is best that he can be as lively as me sometimes, and as quiet as Big Sister other times. The most important thing is that he must be humble and honest, and he can take the responsibilities like a man…”

I was worried that Long Shan’s daydreaming would cause a traffic accident and kill me, but I really couldn’t bear to interrupt her. The world was really unfair sometimes. She got the man she loved but lost the opportunity to become a mother… Maybe it was just like that saying: there are always shortcomings in all beautiful things. Therefore, nothing is perfect in this world…

“I thought you weren’t that kind of person, but today you came to us for Miss Xue. It made me completely change my opinion of you,” Long Shan smiled and said, “Chu Nan, I like your sense of responsibility, so for this, I decided to respect Fei’er’s opinion, and I will no longer interfere with your relationship.”

“Don’t force it, just go with the flow?”

Long Shan was dazed and smiled, “Yes.”

I couldn’t completely understand the meaning these words contain, but I could feel that these words made Long Shan live very happily.

“Where are we going? Fengchang?”

“No, the Shangri-La Hotel.”

Long Shan nodded, but she didn’t seem to feel strange about why I wanted to go to the hotel.

Then we stopped talking until the car stopped in front of Shangri-La. When I was about to get out, she stopped me, “Chu Nan, I guess you must be confused now, right?”

I was a little surprised, but still nodded. In front of this woman, I didn’t seem to need to pretend to be a fool. “I need to rethink everything because you and the chairman won’t tell me anything.”

Long Shan did not deny it, but asked, “Do you know why I want to tell you about the things between the Third Lady and the Long family?”

“You want to tell me that she is very scheming, and I should be wary of her.” I smiled bitterly. Just based on the fact that I found the wrong person today, I knew that I was no match for the Third Lady.

“Mhm, it’s great that you can understand that. But also don’t worry that much. The Third Lady is not a god. She is just a businesswoman. It’s just that she disguises herself very well. Maybe she is sometimes willful. But in the end, she wants nothing more than ‘benefits’,”

Long Shan said, “I can’t tell you her name, nor can I tell you why she treats you like this, but I still hope that you can deal with this matter calmly. After all, she doesn’t have any malicious intent toward you. Anyway, you will be able to meet her soon. But don’t do anything foolish before that.”

I nodded without saying anything, turned around and walked into the hotel.

“One more thing!” Long Shan called out loudly behind me, “The Third Lady has never wanted to hide her identity from you. It’s Miss Xue who doesn’t want her to reveal her identity to you. She said that once you know about her identity, you will do something impulsive, and it will ruin your future.”

As expected of Ziyuan who knew me well. I was a little touched, but at the same time, I also felt a little bit bitter. What Ziyuan meant was that I should spend a few days to calm myself down, and then when I met with the Third Lady again, I would be able to talk to her calmly.

In five years, I had also changed, and it was really hard for me to deal with things calmly sometimes…

…

The very important thing that I always felt that I had forgotten was to find a reason to change the hotel that Shu Tong’s family lived in into a cheaper hotel. This damn room would cost me several thousand yuan a day, which was an extremely heavy burden for me.

I originally thought about looking for a nice excuse and changed them to a cheaper hotel before the checkout at noon, but what happened last night made me completely forget about it.

Shu Tong’s parents said that they would visit a fellow villager today, so when I went upstairs I didn’t find them. They even brought Shu Tong’s grandma with them as well. Feeling embarrassed to change their hotel without telling them, I could only grit my teeth and curse the Natural Airhead while heading to the concierge to extend the stay.

“Sir, room 6006 has been extended for two weeks early this morning.”

“What?” The lady at the front desk shifted her gaze from the computer screen to my face, and my gaze at the wallet shifted to her face, “Who extended it?”

“Miss Min.”

It was her again! That room was booked using her identity, so it was understandable that the lady at the front desk knew her name.

“Where is she?”

The lady at the front desk smiled politely, “I’m sorry, sir, I don’t know this.”

I was so stupid, why would I ask a receptionist this question… I had so many questions in my mind, but I couldn’t get any answers, it made me feel very frustrated. And this Min Rou, was she working for Mo Yizhi or the Third Lady?

“Thank you…”

“Please wait,” the lady at the front desk stopped me when I turned around and asked cautiously, “Excuse me, are you Mr. Chu Nan?”
