Under Sun Xiaomu's guidance, Liu Lihai's car drove all the way to the Family Building of the Provincial Party Committee before stopping. After getting out of the car, Sun Xiaomu walked in front, and Liu Lihai followed behind. Neither of them spoke, and both of them seemed very nervous. Especially after entering the elevator, Sun Xiaomu was so nervous that she breathed heavily. Liu Lihai wanted to say something, but he didn't know what she was nervous about. After a while, Sun Xiaomu looked at him and said, "My dad doesn't really approve of our marriage. No matter what he says, you have to bear with it, okay?"
It wasn't until this time that Liu Lihai realized what he was going to face. He never thought that Sun Xiaomu secretly ran to Lin County to marry him. No wonder she didn't dare to bring him to see her parents. He seemed to understand her, so he nodded his head heavily. However, his heart became up and down. He didn't know what was wrong with him, but he vaguely felt that Sun Xiaomu's father had a powerful background. A person who could even command Wu Haotian was definitely not a simple person. He didn't know why, but when he realized that Sun Xiaomu's father had a powerful background, he had a bad feeling.
After the elevator stopped, Sun Xiaomu walked home with Liu Lihai. As soon as they entered the door, Sun Xiaomu shouted, "Mom, I'm back."
A well-dressed woman came out of the room. Sun Xiaomu pointed at her and introduced her to Liu Lihai, "This is my mom." Liu Lihai smiled at her and said, "Hello, Auntie."
The woman smiled kindly and looked Liu Lihai up and down. She said, "You're even more handsome than your photos." Then she pointed to the sofa and asked Liu Lihai to sit down. Liu Lihai nervously moved to the sofa. After two steps, she asked him as if she wanted to remember something, "Didn't you guys register? Why are you still calling me Auntie? "Hearing her words, Liu Lihai's face suddenly turned red. He stood there stupidly, not knowing what to do.
At this moment, a person came out of the study. Sun Xiaomu whispered, "Dad." When Liu Lihai followed the voice and looked at the person, he was surprised and instinctively said, "Secretary Meng." As soon as his voice fell, his heart started beating wildly. He had thought of many situations about Sun Xiaomu's parents, but he didn't expect that Sun Xiaomu's father was the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. He was actually more powerful than Secretary Wu Haotian. When he looked at Secretary Meng again, there were many complicated emotions in his eyes. He really should be happy. His relationship with Sun Xiaomu was like a boat. His current identity was the son-in-law of the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. With this identity, not to mention Shi Zhilin, even Secretary Wu Haotian had to look at him in a different light. But he didn't know why he couldn't be happy. Instead, there was a heavy force pouncing on him.
At this moment, Secretary Meng nodded at Liu Lihai and his eyes fell on his face. This was the third time he saw this boy. That handsome face, he remembered it at first glance. It was the photo that Sun Xiaomu brought. Xiaomu's mother secretly showed it to him. He had always opposed the relationship between Xiaomu and Liu Lihai, but the more he opposed it, the more estranged he became with his daughter. He shouldn't have agreed to Sun Xiaomu's request to let her go to Jingjiang alone to bid for an old house. Although Jingjiang was the place where Sun Xiaomu was born and grew up, as he was promoted, his deep feelings for Jingjiang became weaker and weaker.
A year ago, Sun Xiaomu said that she wanted to go to Jingjiang to bid for an old house. Under Sun Xiaomu's persistent request, Meng Anda finally agreed to his daughter's request to go to Jingjiang. But he never expected that she would fall in love with Liu Lihai, which made him very passive. The old secretary who promoted him all the way went to Beijing and introduced him to the son of a minister. He wanted to take Sun Xiaomu to Beijing for a blind date, but Xiaomu refused to listen to him. Xiaomu even secretly went to Beijing to register, which made him even more passive.
Now, Xiaomu brought Liu Lihai back and proposed to hold a wedding banquet. Meng Anda was angry when he thought of this. Last month, he said that the old secretary wanted to take Xiaomu to Beijing, which meant that they were going to go on a blind date. Moreover, the old secretary asked for Sun Xiaomu's photo. Maybe this photo had been sent to Minister Liu Jingming. Now, even if Meng Anda had a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare to hold a wedding banquet at this time. Minister Liu Jingming used to be Senior Li's secretary, who was not someone that Meng Anda could afford to offend.
Meng Anda couldn't do anything to this lawless daughter. Now he said to Liu Lihai, "Xiaomu is my daughter. She took her mother's surname. So few people know that Sun Xiaomu is my daughter, Meng Anda. However, I don't approve of your marriage. The distance between you two is too far apart, and my test for you is not over yet. It's understandable that young people want to climb the social ladder, but I didn't expect you to be so impatient. Whether you can be the son-in-law of the Meng family, Xiaomu doesn't have the final say. I have to say it. "Secretary Meng's words were arrogant, stiff, and domineering.
Liu Lihai was surprised at first, and then became angry. Without thinking, he blurted out, "I, Liu Lihai, have never thought of climbing the social ladder. I, Liu Lihai, didn't know that Sun Xiaomu is the daughter of Secretary Meng. If I knew, I wouldn't have married her. I'm sorry, I'll leave first. "Then he turned and left.
Sun Xiaomu was anxious. She said to Meng Anda, "Dad, I wanted to register my marriage with him. I was afraid that you wouldn't agree. But you still say this kind of thing. I'm so disappointed. "After that, she went to chase after Liu Lihai.
Meng Anda didn't expect Liu Lihai to be so unyielding. He even dared to throw a tantrum in front of him. He shouted at Sun Xiaomu, "Come back, don't go after him." Sun Xiaomu didn't listen to him and still rushed out.
When Sun Xiaomu caught up with Liu Lihai, he was already sitting in the car and was about to start it. Sun Xiaomu stopped in front of the car door and didn't let him go. He had to open the door and said, "Come in. Sun Xiaomu opened the door and sat next to him. She saw Liu Lihai's face full of anger and eyes full of indifference. She shook him and said, "Lihai, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to hide it from you. My dad, he has always been against me and you dating. But my mom supports me. Wait a little longer. Wait for my mom to do my dad's work, okay? "
"Are you finished?" Liu Lihai asked coldly. "If you're finished, go home. I can't afford to marry a rich girl like you. Let your dad choose a good son-in-law for you. " After that, he pushed Sun Xiaomu out of the car. Sun Xiaomu was not prepared. She was pushed out and almost fell to the ground. Taking advantage of this gap, Liu Lihai stepped on the door and the car drove away. Sun Xiaomu was so angry that she scolded in the back of the car, "Liu Lihai, you bastard."
When Liu Lihai heard Sun Xiaomu's scolding, his heart was in a mess. He could accept that Sun Xiaomu's father was a small stall owner, a street cleaner, or even a prisoner who had been released from prison. But now he couldn't accept that Sun Xiaomu had such a high-ranking official father. He had thought many times that Sun Xiaomu didn't want him to go to her house because she had a father who couldn't say it out loud. But he never thought that she was the daughter of a high-ranking official, and he didn't expect that Secretary General Meng Anda would say such words. It was as if he had known Sun Xiaomu's identity and had pursued her. It was as if he was a man who specialized in relying on the daughter of a high-ranking official. This fact shattered the only remaining bit of self-confidence and dignity in him. In addition to choosing to leave, he couldn't find a reason to stay and listen to Meng Anda continue to speak.
On the highway back to Lin County, Liu Lihai drove fast. He needed to use this speed to forget the existence of Sun Xiaomu and the existence of Meng Anda. However, could he avoid the reality of this existence? Could he not love Sun Xiaomu? When Sun Xiaomu was about to fall, his heart was still aching. He knew that he loved her, but why couldn't he stand that she had a high-ranking official father? Why couldn't he stand the accusations of Meng Anda? He asked himself, why couldn't he accept the reality of this existence? Why wasn't he surprised? The only explanation was that he couldn't let go of his pitiful self-esteem.
When they arrived at Lin County, Liu Lihai drove the car onto the rural road. In the winter fields, everywhere was bare with the power of desolation. He drove the car very, very slowly. One field after another, one barren tree after another, when passing by his eyes, he actually had tears in his eyes. Xiao Mu, this name that he couldn't get out of his mind had been engraved in his bones. Could he escape her existence?
"Xiao Mu, Xiao Mu." Liu Lihai shouted at the empty field, but there was no response from the field. His tears still flowed down the side of his face, drop by drop falling on the back of his hand. He leaned against the car, letting the tears flow into the mouth that he used to be narcissistic, and a kind of bitterness spread all over his body.
He couldn't help but tremble. At this time, all kinds of grievances came gushing out. He didn't know why, but he suddenly thought of Leng Hongyan. Her kindness, her love, her dedication, and her wholehearted cultivation of him. She was the one who led him on the road of officialdom, and she was the one who taught him how to deal with all kinds of situations in officialdom. But now, she was gone. She had completed her initial cultivation of him. In the following days, he needed to face the more complicated road of officialdom independently. He thought that after leaving Leng Hongyan, he could do better. He thought that he could be a man in front of Sun Xiaomu, and he thought that he could be the protector of Sun Xiaomu. He didn't expect that after leaving Leng Hongyan's cultivation, he would step into the eyes of Meng Anda. He didn't know whether this was a good or bad thing for him. He could let go of Leng Hongyan, but could he let go of Sun Xiaomu?
