140: Chapter 140 Then let's put on an act.

Fortunately, Su Nange's car had excellent privacy protection; no one could see the people inside from the outside.

Su Nange thought to himself, 'What should I do? Should I get out? The person outside the car is my future brother-in-law, after all.'

Meanwhile, Liu Yuan's hands on the steering wheel were trembling slightly.

If Zhou Wanqing hadn't been there, she would have gotten out without hesitation to introduce her man.

But for some reason, she didn't have the courage to openly admit her relationship with Su Nange in front of Zhou Wanqing.

Her sixth sense was quite accurate.

She could clearly sense that her best friend's current favorable impression of Su Nange was far higher than that of her own older brother.

If they really had to meet, what should she do?

Should she expose that she had been deceiving her best friend and hiding her feelings for Su Nange? Or should she expose that she was helping another man behind her brother's back?

'Crap, either way, it feels awkward enough to die!' Liu Yuan felt like her brain wasn't working properly anymore.

Even her toes were curled tight.

At that moment, Su Nange made a decision. It was going to happen sooner or later anyway; it didn't matter when.

So, Su Nange gave Liu Yuan a warm smile, opened the car door, and stepped out.

Liu Yuan was touched. She called out 'Hubby!' in her heart and also got out of the car.

When Liu Zongren saw Su Nange, his eyes began to turn gloomy.

However, both Su Nange and Liu Yuan had overlooked Zhou Wanqing.

This woman was even more speechless in her heart than the two of them.

She extremely disliked this behavior of blocking her at the entrance of her building.

Thus, Zhou Wanqing only left behind one sentence: "Yuan, I'm going upstairs first! You and your brother have a good talk."

Liu Zongren: "Wanqing!"

But just as he finished shouting, Zhou Wanqing had already run into the elevator hall.

However, the moment the elevator doors closed, Zhou Wanqing revealed a foxy smile.

Liu Yuan sighed and whispered to Su Nange, "You rascal, see? You see how hard it is to get into Wanqing's home."

Su Nange spread his hands speechlessly.

Liu Zongren watched that elegant figure disappear, feeling extremely displeased!

Consequently, he didn't have a good look for this person who had saved his grandfather either.

"You are Su Nange? An insurance salesman, a fitness coach?"

He didn't wait for Su Nange to answer.

Liu Zongren turned to ask Liu Yuan, "Sister, you found a guy like this?"

Hearing her brother belittle Su Nange so much, a surge of anger rose within Liu Yuan.

However, Su Nange just smiled. "Yuan, I didn't expect my impression in your family's eyes to be so bad?"

Liu Yuan played along with Su Nange: "Why listen to him? In my eyes, you are the best!"

Liu Yuan linked her arm with Su Nange's.

Liu Zongren was not someone without depth; he didn't care how affectionate the two before him were.

He had also investigated and knew Su Nange wouldn't be as simple as he appeared on the surface. Did he not know his own sister? How could an ordinary man catch her eye?

From this, he could judge that this Su Nange definitely provided great help to his sister!

In other words, he would be a threat to his control over the Liu family's business empire.

Liu Zongren smiled slightly: "Hehe, sister, actually I wasn't waiting for Wanqing here today. There's something I want to say to your little boyfriend."

"Su Nange, I want to advise you: the gates of the Liu family are not that easy to enter!"

"Although you might have some tricks, in front of our Liu family, you are ultimately just an ordinary person. You should know that some families value social status above all else."

"Of course, Yuan, you should think clearly about this yourself as well."

"And Su Nange. Since you are with my sister now, you'd better put away your little schemes! Especially don't let me see you coming to this place again!"

Su Nange's gaze showed no fear toward the top young master of Qiantang City!

This guy was actually investigating him?

Liu Zongren maintained his condescending and contemptuous attitude as he looked at Su Nange's clenched fists.

He continued, "Kid, the world of wealthy families is cruel. I hope you can face reality when the time comes. What I'm saying today is for your own good!"

"Yuan, I'll head out first. Don't forget your promise. Regarding Wanqing, you need to work on her more!"

After saying that, Liu Zongren turned and left.

Su Nange suddenly shouted, "Brother-in-law!"

Liu Zongren paused.

"Thank you, Liu family, for raising such a beautiful, gentle, wealthy, and talented wife for me! Don't worry, brother-in-law, I will definitely treat your sister 'well'!"

Liu Zongren looked back at Su Nange. That gaze was like a threat, or even more, like a hegemony that didn't allow for challenges!

"Good! Good! Good! Yuan, this little boyfriend of yours is really something. I have high hopes for him! You should keep a good eye on him too!"

A threat from the young master! Su Nange wasn't afraid; he now had enough confidence to face everything!

Liu Yuan gripped Su Nange's hand tightly. "Don't mind him. In our family, my grandfather still has the final say! Don't worry, I won't let you be mistreated."

Su Nange said to Liu Yuan, "I won't be. Don't worry! Just based on this beautiful face of yours, I already feel that everything is worth it!"

Liu Yuan was completely charmed by Su Nange's flirting, her face turning red again. She lowered her head and whispered, "You're just never serious! Let's go back then. I... I want to 'eat' again."

Su Nange pressed a hard kiss onto those tempting lips!

Meanwhile, upstairs, Zhou Wanqing had already finished washing up and was applying a facial mask.

Wearing a blue nightgown, she leaned back in a rocking chair, looking like a veteran official.

However, this scene formed a sharp contrast with her elegant body.

If this were ancient times, this woman would surely be an ambitious empress.

The curve of her lips seemed full of the flavor of political intrigue.

"Hehe, using Liu Zongren as a foil—that's quite a good method!"

"The acting from you two was too poor. Did you really take me, Zhou Wanqing, for a fool who knows nothing?"

"My dear sister, you still haven't changed after all these years!"

"Since you want to play it this way... Yuan, you can't blame me. I don't know anything. You've snatched so many of my dolls over the years; it shouldn't be too much if I snatch from you once, right?"

"As Su Nange said, isn't life just a grand play without a script? Since you like to act, I'll act along with you! When the time comes, let's see who's the first one unable to step down from the stage!"

"This kind of script is just too fun~~"

The next morning, porridge and steamed buns were delivered again to the small room where Ding Quxiao was staying.

Only this time, the person delivering the meal was Deputy Director Qin Jiazheng himself.

Qin Jiazheng looked at the resentful beautiful lady before him and said politely, "Ms. Ding, after you finish breakfast, you can go home. Our lab results are out; the thing on your clothes was just an ordinary piece of paper."

Hearing this, Ding Quxiao didn't know whether to feel aggrieved or angry.

You locked me up for two whole days just for that? Even going to the toilet had to be under surveillance?

"Director Qin, do you know how much harm your actions have caused me?"

Qin Jiazheng shook his head helplessly. "Ms. Ding, I understand you. Why don't you have breakfast first? Someone is already waiting for you downstairs. Once you go out, you'll know everything."

Ding Quxiao felt a bit dejected. Was what was meant to come finally coming?

However, as she walked out of the Municipal Bureau's gates feeling somewhat lost, she suddenly saw a tall, warm figure.

A familiar old-model executive sedan. It was so inconsistent with his youthful appearance.

But under the morning sun, which was not yet piercing, both the young man and the car gave off a familiar sense of security.

"Sister Ding, get in the car."

Ding Quxiao found it a bit unbelievable. "So... so it was you, you brat, who was behind all this?"

Su Nange gave a chuckle. "Madam, I really wanted to protect you!"

Ding Quxiao rushed forward and gave him a flick on the head.

Su Nange really wanted to hug her, but this was the entrance to the police station; it was better to keep a low profile.

In the car today, Su Nange didn't play music.

Instead, he turned on the radio.

The host was reading a report: Lü Guangming, the Mayor of Qiantang City, is suspected of serious violations of discipline and law and has been taken away for investigation.

This simple piece of news finally made Ding Quxiao understand what had happened over the past two days.

At this moment, all her grievances completely vanished.

She finally couldn't hold it back anymore and burst into tears in the car.
