Chen Pei saw that he kept defending Du Xiaoyu, so she frowned and said, "Lu Tao, don't misunderstand me. I'm not trying to sow discord between you and Du Xiaoyu, nor do I think that Du Xiaoyu has a bad character. Like you, I think that Du Xiaoyu is simple, kind, pretty, gentle, smart, and sensible. That's why I gave you my sincere blessings yesterday. You know that I'm not a hypocrite. My blessings come from the bottom of my heart, and I do hope that you and her can be happy.
"But now, I want to take back my blessings and hope that you and Du Xiaoyu can just be friends. Don't fall in love and get married. I'm advising you this not because I'm jealous of Du Xiaoyu, but because I'm thinking about your political future. If you're just a mediocre, unambitious person who only has material pursuits and wants to be the son-in-law of a rich family, then falling in love with Du Xiaoyu and getting married is undoubtedly the best choice. But you're not that kind of person. In my opinion, you still have dreams, pursuits, and you still want to have a career.
"If you marry the daughter of a triad boss and become a member of their family, even if you don't wallow in the mire with them and don't do anything illegal, you'll already be branded as the son-in-law of a triad boss. You won't be able to wash that off for the rest of your life. Moreover, an evil force like the Liu family won't exist for long. Sooner or later, they'll be attacked and eliminated by the government. When that day comes, even if you don't do anything illegal, your political future will definitely be over. Don't even think about having any achievements in your career. I'm not trying to scare you, but there's a precedent. I hope you'll seriously consider my suggestion. "
Lu Tao wanted to tell her that he'd already decided to break up with Du Xiaoyu, but he felt that it was a bit inappropriate. He vaguely replied, "Thank you, Peipei. I'll consider your suggestion and deal with my relationship with Du Xiaoyu seriously."
Chen Pei originally wanted to chat with him, but seeing his ambiguous attitude, she thought that he was still infatuated with Du Xiaoyu. She didn't want to continue talking to prevent him from misunderstanding, so she turned and walked into the private room …
After dinner, Zhou Yihong smiled and asked Lu Tao's mother, "Sister-in-law, do you want to wash your hair or soak your feet tonight? If you want to go, I'll ask Xiao Feng to arrange it. " The "Little Feng" he was talking about was his secretary, Feng Antu. They were eating together in the private room.
Lu Tao's mother said a little shyly, "I'm a woman from the countryside. I'm not used to washing my hair and bathing my feet in the shops. Let Little Ping and her husband accompany me to go shopping later. I'll go back to the hotel to sleep after a while."
Chen Pei hurriedly said, "Auntie, I'll go shopping with you. I want to see Songshan's night view too."
Zhou Yihong saw that Lu Tao's mother and Chen Pei both wanted to go shopping, so he didn't force them. He turned to Feng Antu and said, "Little Feng, go to the teahouse on the fourth floor and arrange a private room. Later, I'll go up with Little Tao to have a cup of tea and chat."
When Lu Tao saw that Zhou Yihong had taken the initiative to ask him to have tea with him, it was exactly what he wanted. He began to secretly plan in his heart how to talk to him about Li Weijun later …
Half an hour later, Lu Tao and Zhou Yihong sat in a small box in the teahouse on the fourth floor. After drinking a few mouthfuls of tea, Zhou Yihong suddenly asked, "Little Tao, I heard from Pep that you found a girlfriend and are preparing to cut ties with Pep. What's going on? When Pepe told me about it in the afternoon, he was in tears. I can see that she has deep feelings for you. Even if you hurt her, she didn't complain at all. She only said that although your current girlfriend is a good person, there are some problems with her family. It might affect your future political career, so she asked me to advise you to reconsider. But when I asked about the girl's situation and what problems her family has, she refused to tell me in detail. She told me to come find you to understand the situation, so I asked you to come here alone to have tea and chat. "
Lu Tao saw that he was directly asking about cutting ties with Chen Pei and felt a bit awkward. He hesitated for a while before stammering, "Uncle Zhou, the problem between Pep and me is a bit complicated. The main problem is that her mother has a deep prejudice against me. She thinks that I'm not good enough for Pep, so she's strongly against me dating her-"
Zhou Yihong's thick eyebrows rose as he interrupted him in surprise, "Pep's mother is strongly against you dating her? How do you know? Did she talk to you about this in person? "
Lu Tao nodded and told Zhou Yihong about the last time Chen Pei's mother and Yang Zhitang went to the hotel to negotiate with him in the provincial capital.
After Zhou Yihong listened, he frowned and thought for a moment before asking, "After Pep's mother and Yang Zhitang came to negotiate with you, why didn't you communicate with Pep herself immediately? Why did you choose to escape without saying anything? When you left the provincial capital that day without saying goodbye, did you not consider Pep's feelings at all? She likes you so much and loves you so much, but you suddenly cut ties with her without giving her any reason. If it were you, would you be able to stand it? Fortunately, Pep is a strong and magnanimous girl. If it were someone else, no matter how much they like you, they would definitely hate you to the core for doing such a ruthless thing. Have you considered the consequences of doing such a ruthless thing? "
Lu Tao explained with a red face, "Uncle Zhou, although what I did was not right, as you said, I had unspeakable difficulties. First of all, I promised her mother that I would not contact her in the future, and I had to keep this promise. Second, I knew that Pep would find it hard to cut ties with this relationship. If I didn't take extreme measures, it would be difficult for me to completely cut ties with her, so I had no choice but to do that. "
Zhou Yihong sighed and hit the nail on the head, "Little Tao, you seem to be a person with self-esteem and pride, but in fact, you have a little inferiority complex in your heart. In your subconscious, you may feel that there is a gap between your identity, status, and even talent with Pep, and this gap cannot be made up for. So no matter how much Pep likes you and loves you, you don't dare to accept this feeling of hers. It is because of this inferiority complex in your subconscious that when Pep's mother came to you in person and mercilessly pointed out the gap between you and Pep, although you were angry and angry, you actually agreed with her point of view in your heart. This is also the key reason why you chose to escape from this relationship. Am I right? "
