Chapter 194: Zhou Tingting's Marriage 2

~6 min read 1,159 words

Lu Jingqing certainly didn't think Su Yun Jiao looked bad in this outfit.

Rather, he thought Su Yun Jiao looked a bit too good in this outfit;

If she went out like that, she would definitely attract attention.

Secretary Li couldn't help but give a dry cough beside her; this outfit on Miss Su simply shone brilliantly.

It must be said, Zhou Tingting really does know how to pick.

Su Yun Jiao said: "Brother Jingqing, haven't you always thought my taste is bad? Isn't the outfit Tingting picked for me quite nice?"

"Although you're already an adult, when it comes to dressing, it's still better not to be too mature; you should also know there are many bad people in society, dressing like this, they'll inevitably have improper thoughts about you."

Lu Jingqing lectured Su Yun Jiao like an elder.

Su Yun Jiao actually felt this outfit was nothing; it was Lu Jingqing's reaction that was really strange.

It's just a piece of clothing; how could it cause so much fuss?

"Then I promise Brother Jingqing, I'll only wear this outfit at home from now on, I absolutely won't wear it out, okay?"

"Hmm."

Lu Jingqing responded indifferently.

Secretary Li beside him couldn't help but mutter inwardly: Clearly he just doesn't want Miss Su to be seen by other men in this outfit, pretending to be deep here.

Lu Jingqing probably noticed Secretary Li's inner muttering, so he coldly glanced at Secretary Li.

Seeing Lu Jingqing's expression, Secretary Li immediately stopped his inner muttering.

Su Yun Jiao's thoughts were all about Zhou Tingting and that Zheng Haoyuan's marriage, so she cautiously asked: "Brother Jingqing, have you heard of the Zheng family?"

"Which Zheng family?"

"They seem to also be a medical family, a match for the Zhou family."

"Yeah, I've heard of them."

"Then... do you know someone named Zheng Haoyuan?"

Hearing Su Yun Jiao mention Zheng Haoyuan out of the blue, Lu Jingqing couldn't help but glance at her and said: "Why are you asking about this?"

In this circle, Zheng Haoyuan is famous as a refined young gentleman; because he is modest and polite, handsome, many young ladies like him.

Lu Jingqing had never heard from Su Yun Jiao about any man besides Lu Chi and Zhou Xian.

This Zheng Haoyuan is the first.

Su Yun Jiao didn't know how to say it; after thinking, she said: "I think Zheng Haoyuan isn't a good person; does the Zhou family intend to ally with him through marriage? Is there any way to stop this engagement?"

If I'm not mistaken, the Zhou family should already have started discussing the marriage with Zheng Haoyuan's family, just not finalized yet; after a few days when it's settled, they'll inform Zhou Tingting, and the engagement will be set.

Breaking it off later would probably not be easy.

Lu Jingqing never meddles in others' affairs, but he never expected Su Yun Jiao to see that Zheng Haoyuan isn't a good person, nor that she could see the Zhou family's intention to ally with him.

Lu Jingqing said indifferently: "You sure care a lot about things related to the Zhou family."

"Zhou Tingting is my good friend; of course I care about the Zhou family's affairs."

Su Yun Jiao feared Lu Jingqing would overthink, so she said: "I really heard Zheng Haoyuan's reputation isn't good; he has violent tendencies and a history of mental illness; can you think of a way to stop them from getting engaged?"

Su Yun Jiao remembered the Zhou family being especially pleased with Zheng Haoyuan.

They felt Zheng Haoyuan matched their ideal son-in-law, and the families are well-matched.

So they hurriedly settled this marriage.

Now, Su Yun Jiao only worries that if the two families really settle this, there will be no room for regret.

Even if Zhou Tingting is unwilling, I'm afraid the Zhou family would find it hard to call off the engagement with the Zheng family.

"Alright, since this is our family's Jiao Jiao bringing it up to me, I'll try to resolve this."

"Really?"

Su Yun Jiao's eyes lit up instantly.

"Really."

Lu Jingqing smiled slightly and said: "I say what I do."

"Good!"

Su Yun Jiao immediately stretched out her little finger and said: "Hook promise, no change for a hundred years."

Although Lu Jingqing thought Su Yun Jiao's gesture was a bit childish, he still stretched out his hand and promised: "I promise you."

Seeing Lu Jingqing agree, Su Yun Jiao was very happy.

Seeing Su Yun Jiao happy, Lu Jingqing seemed to become happy as well; Secretary Li beside them hadn't seen Boss Lu this happy in a long time.

"Sit down and eat; we'll talk about other things tomorrow."

"Okay."

Su Yun Jiao readily agreed.

After Su Yun Jiao finished her meal and went upstairs, Lu Jingqing put down his chopsticks and said to Secretary Li: "Go investigate Zheng Haoyuan, take photos of his recent private life, then post them online directly."

"Boss Lu, is this not too much?"

Although their families have no cooperation with Zheng Haoyuan's family, it's not to the point of attacking the Zheng family.

After all, in this business circle, having one more friend is better than having one more enemy.

Lu Jingqing said: "The Zhou family cares most about character, appearance, and social equality; Zheng Haoyuan is not clean in the circle, his suave appearance is useless; as long as negative news about him spreads online, the Zhou family won't agree to this marriage; this is Jiao Jiao's first time opening up to me, I won't refuse her."

Hearing Lu Jingqing say that, Secretary Li couldn't help but whisper: "I'm afraid whenever Miss Su and Boss Lu make a request, Boss Lu can't bear to refuse..."

Their Boss Lu is just such a stubborn person.

Hearing Secretary Li say that about himself, Lu Jingqing directly glanced at Secretary Li.

Secretary Li immediately shut his mouth, not daring to speak further.

This side.

Zhou Tingting had just returned home when she saw her mother in the living room looking at a photo, seeming very satisfied.

Zhou Tingting asked somewhat puzzled, "Mom, why aren't you going upstairs?"

"I waited especially for you to come back."

Madam Zhou put down the photo in her hand and gestured for Zhou Tingting to sit beside her.

Zhou Tingting sat beside Madam Zhou and asked, "What's wrong?"

"You're already in your third year of high school; the family has arranged a marriage for you. What do you think of this person?"

Madam Zhou directly handed the photo to Zhou Tingting.

Zhou Tingting remembered that Su Yun Jiao had just told her about the engagement today, but as soon as she returned home, her mother said she wanted to find a match for her, and Zhou Tingting's heart sank; although the man in the photo was handsome and well-built, Zhou Tingting had no intention of marrying so early: "I don't want to."
