Chapter 590: Head-On Confrontation
"Xiaozhi, how are you? Did Long Jiuyan embarrass you when we were not here?" As soon as Long Jiuyan left, Mu Jianhua immediately stepped forward to support Baizhi.
Baizhi knew what Mu Jianhua was worried about, and was also touched that he dared to confront Long Jiuyan for her.
"Don't worry, brother Mu, although Long Jiuyan came from the underworld, he has now cleaned up his identity. After all, he is a well-known person in the business world. He will not force me, let alone do anything that is disgraceful and damaging to his reputation."
"That's good." Mu Jianhua breathed a sigh of relief, chewed Baizhi's words carefully again, and became nervous again.
Xiaozhi's evaluation of Long Jiuyan was actually positive. Does this mean that if Long Jiuyan attacks passionately, he has a chance.
After all, his current situation is not much better than Long Jiuyan's, except that he has the status of a fiance in name only.
"Xiaozhi, you are finally back." In the living room, Li Haiyan and Song Licheng, who were fidgeting, heard the voice outside and hurried out to greet him.
"Come in quickly. Although it's already May, you still can't let the night wind blow on your eyes." Li Haiyan stepped forward and helped Bai Zhi into the house with Mu Jianhua on the left and right, and sat on the sofa.
"What happened?" Everyone sat down and Song Licheng asked.
Li Haiyan poured tea for everyone and sat next to Song Siming.
"It's not a big deal. It's just that Long Jiuyan wants to pursue Xiao Zhi and invites us all to have a meal." Song Siming's tone did not have any worry, but rather a sense of pride.
Song Licheng was only concerned about whether Bai Zhi was hurt, and did not notice Song Siming's expression.
Mu Jianhua and Li Haiyan saw Song Siming's expression.
"How about moving Xiao Zhi and Jianhua's wedding date forward?" Li Haiyan stared at Song Siming and asked tentatively.
Mu Jianhua also observed Song Siming's expression changes with a scrutinizing eye.
"No!" Song Siming refused outright, "We can't afford to offend Long Jiuyan. If we refuse the marriage at this time, the consequences of angering him will be disastrous."
Li Haiyan couldn't hide her surprise and continued, "That Long Jiuyan might just be interested in Xiaozhi for a while. Maybe after learning that Xiaozhi was married, Long Jiuyan gave up on his own..."
"What do you know?" Song Siming interrupted Li Haiyan with a bad tone, "Xiaozhi must not get married at this time. For safety reasons, it's best to postpone the wedding."
Song Licheng looked at the expressions of the three people and came to his senses.
To be honest, he always felt that Mu Jianhua and Bai Zhi's marriage was too forced. It would be good to postpone it.
As for Long Jiuyan, he felt that his mother was right. Long Jiuyan had seen all kinds of women. It didn't make sense that he would suddenly really fall in love with his sister. Maybe after a while, he would cool down on his own.
"Father is right. There is no need to confront Long Jiuyan head-on. This matter needs to be considered in the long run." Song Licheng suggested.
Li Haiyan stared at her son, a pig teammate, and felt sorry for him.
Mu Jianhua stopped talking. He was completely sure that Song Siming was a snob who wanted to take the opportunity to get close to Long Jiuyan.
It turned out that his previous nobleness was all an illusion. It was not that he didn't like to get close to others, but that the temptation was not enough.
Compared with Long Jiuyan's power, the Mu family was indeed not worth mentioning.
But Song Siming didn't think about who Long Jiuyan was. When he got tired of Xiaozhi, what would Xiaozhi do?
"Brother Mu, I'm a little tired. Please help me up." Bai Zhi saw Mu Jianhua's inner anxiety and made an excuse casually.
Li Haiyan guessed that Bai Zhi had something to say to Mu Jianhua, and hurriedly said, "Yes, Xiaozhi is tired all day. Jianhua, help her up and rest."
Song Siming looked at Mu Jianhua and Bai Zhi without saying a word.
His daughter, how to choose at this time, she has her own sense of measure, and Song Siming never doubted this.
Although Mu Jianhua was unhappy with Song Siming's attitude, he still nodded politely to Song Siming and Li Haiyan: "Uncle Song, Aunt Li, I'll help Bai Zhi up first."
Watching Bai Zhi and Mu Jianhua disappear in the staircase, Li Haiyan couldn't help asking: "Siming, what did you mean just now?"
"Don't worry about it, I have my own plans." Song Siming was thoughtful.
Li Haiyan wanted to speak, but was stopped by Song Licheng.
"Mom, Dad's worries are not unreasonable. Don't be too anxious about my sister's marriage."
Li Haiyan looked at her ignorant son in front of her with resentment. What does he know!
Thinking that Li Haiyan is so skilled, why are the sons she gave birth to more honest than each other.
In Bai Zhi's bedroom, Mu Jianhua helped Bai Zhi into the room and couldn't help holding her hand.
"Xiaozhi, I'm really worried..."
"Brother Mu, don't worry, I will definitely not accept Long Jiuyan." Bai Zhi resisted the urge to pull back her hand, and said firmly, "Dad's concerns are normal. Rejecting Long Jiuyan directly now will only make him angry."
Mu Jianhua got Bai Zhi's promise and hugged Bai Zhi excitedly: "Thank you, Xiaozhi."
The sudden hug made Bai Zhi breathless. She subconsciously wanted to push Mu Jianhua away, but she was afraid that he would think too much. At this critical moment, it is better not to make trouble.
Bai Zhi resisted the awkwardness in her heart and patiently comforted: "Give me some time, okay? Long Jiuyan is powerful, and it is definitely impossible to fight him head-on. The best way now is to delay him and slowly deal with him. As Aunt Li said, Long Jiuyan is just a temporary novelty to me. Maybe he will not be interested in me before long."
"Okay. It's all up to you." Listening to Bai Zhi's calm analysis, Mu Jianhua's anxious heart gradually calmed down. Bai Zhi was willing to discuss with him, which showed that Bai Zhi had him in her heart.
As long as Bai Zhi has him in her heart, she is not afraid of anything.
Neither Long Jiuyan nor Lu Juefeng could try to snatch her away from him.
In Bishui Qingyuan, Xiaoke and Xiaoai gathered together to watch the news on their iPads.
"Who is this Mr. Jiu? He looks quite handsome." Xiao Ai took a bite of the candy apple in her hand and stared at the picture on the news page.
In the picture, Long Jiuyan was standing beside the car, inviting Bai Zhi to get in the car.
"It seems to be a gang boss." Xiao Ke quickly closed the news page and entered Long Jiuyan's name on the search website.
"Long Jiuyan, known as Lord Jiu in the world, is a legendary figure in both black and white. He took over Long's enterprise at the age of seventeen and became a wizard in the business world.
At the age of 21, he helped his elderly grandfather manage the most mysterious gang in the sea, the Longmen Gang, and became a feared and iron-blooded young gang leader in the underworld.
At the age of twenty-five, he officially became the leader of the Longmen Gang, and at the age of thirty, he transformed into a politician in Country M..."
Xiao Ai recited the search terms in a sweet voice, gnawed on an apple and nodded, "I didn't expect that this uncle is quite powerful! He also has great vision."
