Chapter 568 Let’s talk alone?
Ma Lanlan has also thought about changing Hu Yong, and has been doing so over the years.
But what the young girl didn’t know was that if you want to change a person, you can’t control them through pressure, but rather stand in the other person’s shoes and guide them patiently.
She is an immature child herself, how can she know how to change others?
The method she used was similar to the one her family had used to control her in the past. Due to her personality, she didn't trust anyone and felt insecure, so she wanted to control Hu Yong and turn him into the person she wanted.
As for Li Zhenmin, Ma Lanlan had only met him a few times. In the few times she met him, she felt that he was just like that. She thought that as long as she worked hard, she could achieve that position in the future.
So when they met for the first time, she tested Li Zhenmin's bottom line and temper. She didn't call anyone or say hello actively, and Li Zhenmin didn't seem to be disgusted or concerned about her.
So she felt that Li Zhenmin and Hu Yong had the same personality, the kind of good-natured, generous, and low-principled people.
She didn't know that Li Zhenmin was ignoring her. She also heard about some of Li Zhenmin's achievements from Hu Yong, so she never really believed it. She thought Hu Yong was deceived and that the truth was that Li Zhenmin achieved his achievements by using a lot of connections, rather than relying on real ability.
Because, from what she had seen and heard since she was a child, all she had to do was rely on connections and relationships to get to the top, and no matter how capable one was, one could only do odd jobs.
She didn't know that this kind of cognition was narrow-minded, and she didn't know that the circle she grew up in was very small. What she thought was the social etiquette was actually the helpless choice made by people without ability.
Even when Li Zhenmin suddenly gave her the cold shoulder some time ago, she thought that Li Zhenmin was trying to test her temper.
But, these past few days...
Ma Lanlan found that everything had changed since Li Zhenmin intervened, and Hu Yong was no longer so easy to control.
She reflected a lot and began to take the initiative to understand and study Li Zhenmin. The more she studied, the more she found that she seemed to be wrong. It seems that Li Zhenmin did not rely on connections to get to his current position. He had real skills. Moreover, Li Zhenmin seemed to be different from Hu Yong. He had a temper...
Today, she was pulled by her parents to a meeting, and she understood some things that she didn't understand before.
When my parents let me date Hu Yong, they wanted to help my older brother Ma Xiaochuan move forward through the relationship between Li Zhenmin and Zhao Yuanshan, the director of the Electricity Bureau.
In the past two years, my family didn’t push this matter much, but things have changed recently!
There are two reasons for this.
First, the person mentioned above has passed away, so the policy may have to change!
They know that the situation is different now. In the past, everyone prospered together and there was serious collective punishment. But it is different now. If they reveal what happened in the past, their families will most likely not be implicated, so their attitudes have become strong!
Second, Zhao Yuanshan is about to retire. If she doesn’t marry Hu Yong, Ma Xiaochuan will not be able to use this relationship. They are anxious!
It can be said that Malanlan has no way out now.
If she did not agree to her family's request and married Hu Yong before Zhao Yuanshan retired, her past would be exposed and her second half of life would be over.
Malanlan ran away from home, walking numbly on the street, and began to regret that she had done such excessive things in the past and was caught with evidence, otherwise she would not be so passive now.
But, can I still marry Hu Yong now?
In other words, is it still possible to get married in a short period of time?
Hu Yong has changed these days and is no longer so obedient.
At the same time, she also discovered that since Hu Yong was no longer so obedient to her, he had become more masculine, and she was no longer opposed to dating Hu Yong.
Recalling how open-hearted Hu Yong had been to her in the past and the true feelings he showed her, she even began to truly accept Hu Yong.
The more she realized this, the more upset she felt, and tears welled up in her eyes...
Before I knew it, the people on the street had dispersed.
It was ten o'clock in the evening and there were not many people on the street. Ma Lanlan looked up and realized that she had arrived at Li Zhenmin's door without realizing it.
Looking at the house in front of her, Malanlan felt amused.
Without the support of family conditions, can someone who can live in such a house be incompetent? I used to think that Li Zhenmin got his position through the back door, which is really ridiculous when I think about it.
After thinking for a long time...
Ma Lanlan reached out to knock on the unlocked door, thinking of trying to settle her relationship with Hu Yong and see if the marriage could be arranged in the next few days.
However, the raised hand never knocked. Listening to the harmonious voices of Li Zhenmin's family coming from the yard, Ma Lanlan hesitated at this moment, not knowing how to start the conversation next.
After hesitating for a while, he finally chose to turn around and leave.
Since you are not ready to face Li Zhenmin yet, just avoid Li Zhenmin and negotiate with Hu Yong. Once you have dealt with Hu Yong, Li Zhenmin will probably not deliberately stop you.
However, before she had gone far, footsteps were heard at the door behind her.
“Lanlan…”
After finishing his studies, Hu Yong played with his nephews and nieces, but the little ones liked to run around. When they ran to the door to play hide-and-seek, Hu Yong chased them and saw Ma Lanlan who was leaving not far away.
The next moment, Hu Yong noticed that Ma Lanlan paused, but did not look back and continued to walk towards the distance.
He didn't think he had recognized the wrong person, so he chased after her: "Lanlan, wait a minute."
Now he lives with Li Zhenmin and doesn't spend much time with Ma Lanlan. After having a good chat with Ma Lanlan last time, when he saw Ma Lanlan coming over this time, he subconsciously thought that Ma Lanlan came to apologize to Li Zhenmin. The reason why she left now was probably because she didn't know how to start the conversation.
Hu Yong felt that this was not a problem. As long as Ma Lanlan was willing to do so, he would be willing to act as the middleman.
Soon he caught up with Ma Lanlan: "Lanlan, since you are here, come in. Big brother is easy to talk to."
Looking at Hu Yong who was thinking about her, Ma Lanlan's heart ached. Just at this moment, she turned around and saw Li Zhenmin had also come to the door. He picked up the child and looked at her, but it was just a glance without any other expression.
Ma Lanlan greeted with a complicated smile: "Good evening, Director Li."
Li Zhenmin nodded, still with no intention of inviting Ma Lanlan in.
Seeing this, Hu Yong quickly said, "Brother, Lanlan has realized her mistake. She has changed a lot these days. I came here so late at night to apologize to you. Let's sit down and have a good chat."
Li Zhenmin didn't reply, but looked at Ma Lanlan.
Ma Lanlan's heart tightened as Li Zhenmin stared at her so intently. She had a hunch that Li Zhenmin's eyes seemed to see through her.
I never paid attention to this aspect before, but now when I look at him, I realize that Li Zhenmin's temperament and eyes are so profound and oppressive.
At this point, with Hu Yong giving her a way out, Ma Lanlan had no choice but to say to Li Zhenmin respectfully again: "I'm sorry, I was the one who... "
"Xiaoyong, you continue playing with Qingshan and Xuenan at home. Malanlan and I will talk alone." As soon as Malanlan opened her mouth, Li Zhenmin finally spoke.
Li Zhenmin's tone was very calm, and he didn't seem to have much resentment towards Ma Lanlan.
But it was precisely because of this calmness that Ma Lanlan felt even more worried. The calmer Li Zhenmin was, the more it meant that he didn't care or had already sentenced him to death.
Isn't the purpose of sending Hu Yong away to give her some advice?
Hu Yong saw what Ma Lanlan was thinking and comforted her softly, "It's okay. Since Big Brother wants to talk to you, it proves that there is still room for easing the tension. Just be nicer and everything will be fine."
After saying that, he took the little nephew from Li Zhenmin's arms and turned back to the yard.
Li Zhenmin walked toward the street outside and said, "Let's go, let's have a good chat."
"Okay." Malanlan gritted her teeth and followed.
