Chapter 560: Chapter 560

Upon hearing this, Song Guanchao knew that the girl was really angry.

But why exactly?

"Your dad asked me to come over."

"Ah, it turns out my dad asked you to come." Liang Jiajia self-mockingly smiled, "If he hadn’t asked, you probably would never take the initiative to see me in your life."

"..." Song Guanchao realized that when a woman is angry, no matter what you say, it’s always wrong.

"Jiajia..."

"My surname is Liang."

"..." Song Guanchao was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Jiajia, there must be some misunderstanding between us."

"There’s no misunderstanding."

"Jiajia, you’re not someone who makes unreasonable troubles. If there’s a misunderstanding, we should just talk it out."

"In your eyes, can’t I be unreasonable?"

"Song Guanchao, do you think I should always comply with you? Shouldn’t I have my own temper?"

"That’s not what I meant..."

"Then what do you mean?"

"I... never mind, it doesn’t matter."

"Oh, so what I say doesn’t matter now?"

"...It’s not what you said that doesn’t matter."

"Then what does?"

"I..." Song Guanchao was overwhelmed and couldn’t handle it anymore.

The key issue was that he had absolutely no idea why Liang Jiajia was angry.

In the kitchen.

Hu Xing whispered, "Why did you suddenly invite someone over without telling me? I didn’t even buy enough groceries."

"It’s enough as long as we have food." Liang Jianfeng said, "Jiajia suddenly came back over the weekend. Didn’t you notice something was off with her?"

"Off? She seems perfectly fine to me."

"You’re her mother, and you can’t even tell her mood is off? She clearly had a fight."

"A lovers’ quarrel, and you call him back for that?"

Hu Xing, speechless, said, "What relationship doesn’t have conflicts?"

Liang Jianfeng sighed, "You don’t understand."

"How can I understand if you don’t tell me?"

"I just think Xiao Song and our daughter aren’t compatible. You know Jiajia’s character well; she isn’t someone who likes to get angry. Let’s ask and see. If they can’t talk it through, better to break it off early so neither is held back."

Hu Xing glared, "Liang, what’s wrong with you? They have a good relationship, why are you interfering?"

Liang Jianfeng said, "Xiao Song is a secretary at the Municipal Committee and is quite a favored figure even in the province. Do you think Jiajia can handle someone like him? I’m just considering our daughter."

Hu Xing frowned, thought for a few seconds, and then asked, "What’s Xiao Song like as a person?"

"He’s fine personally, but he’s too conspicuous. You’re from the system too, you understand more than me how people like him attract attention. Often, even if he’s not interested, opportunities come knocking at his door."

Liang Jianfeng sighed, "Jiajia is strong-willed; she can’t put up with it."

Hu Xing looked back to see the two sitting on separate sofas across the coffee table, Song Guanchao sitting upright, Liang Jiajia’s face cold.

"Just don’t say anything for a while."

...

The food was ready.

Hu Xing, smiling, called out, "Xiao Song, come wash your hands and eat."

"Alright, Auntie."

After Song Guanchao washed his hands, he saw Liang Jianfeng and his wife sitting together with an empty seat next to Liang Jiajia.

He sat down next to Liang Jiajia.

Hu Xing kept serving him food, and during the meal, she asked about his family situation, to which Song Guanchao responded obligingly.

From this superficial interaction, Hu Xing quite liked this young man.

Unpretentious, polite, neither stiff nor boastful.

After the meal, Song Guanchao offered to help clear the table, but Hu Xing said, "Jiajia, why don’t you take Xiao Song out for a stroll? Don’t just stay at home."

"Okay." Liang Jiajia went to change her shoes, and Song Guanchao followed.

Once they were out, Liang Jianfeng became anxious, "Why didn’t you ask anything?"

"What’s there to ask? It’s young people’s business, let them handle it. Dating isn’t the same as marriage, why ask these questions now?"

Liang Jianfeng sighed heavily because he thought his wife would ask, but she didn’t say a word.

Knowing this, he would have asked himself.

Hu Xing warned, "Don’t go looking for Xiao Song privately."

"But..."

"There’s no ’but’. It’s Jiajia who is dating him, not you. Whether they continue or break up, let Jiajia decide. You shouldn’t interfere."

As they left the house, Song Guanchao asked, "Jiajia, have you misunderstood something?"

Liang Jiajia suddenly stopped and looked at him, "Song Guanchao."

"Hmm?"

Liang Jiajia suddenly stepped closer and kissed him on the lips.

Song Guanchao was stunned. Just as he was about to hold her, Liang Jiajia suddenly let go, stepped back, and said, "We shouldn’t see each other for a while."

Song Guanchao stood frozen in place.

Not seeing each other for a while?

He wasn’t a fool. The implication of her words was "break up."

Though it wasn’t as direct, he could hear it.

"You should head back early, take care on your way."

Liang Jiajia forced a smile, turned, and walked away.

Song Guanchao stood still, watching her disappear under the street lights, suddenly feeling a bit despondent.

He knew that Liang Jiajia wanted to carefully consider their relationship.

During this period, there was nothing he could do; nothing would be of any use.

She was an independent woman with her own thoughts.

Song Guanchao wasn’t one to dwell on trifles either.

If it was meant to be, they would be together; if not, it’s better to part.

Life is full of encounters, people come and go.

Few walk together to the end.

What life is without regrets? Having once owned is already wonderful.

Time swiftly moved to Wednesday.

Today was the day of the Standing Committee meeting in Lingjiang City.

The personnel appointments for Dujiang City were to be finalized today.

The tone had already been set at Monday’s small group meeting; today was just a formality.

At the meeting, Wu Qiangwei recommended Hu Yaodong as the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee of Dujiang City, and Feng Hongtao as the Director of the Police Department.

Secretary Lu recommended Director Yan of Lingjiang City’s Judicial Bureau as the Deputy Secretary of the Dujiang City Committee.

He recommended the Vice Mayor Yang Zheng of Baoshui City as the Deputy Mayor of Dujiang City.

He recommended Tian Feng, Secretary of the District Committee of Baoshui City, as the Secretary of the Dujiang City Disciplinary Committee.

Zheng Bihui recommended Xu Wenchang, the Vice County Magistrate of An County, as the Vice Mayor of Dujiang City...

Mayor Jiang recommended...

This round of personnel appointments involved over a dozen governmental departments and numerous county and deputy-level positions.

Such a scale of personnel appointments was extremely rare in the province.

After nominating the candidates, Wu Qiangwei said, "The next item on the agenda is the Fengmen Building old city renovation project."

"I recommend Vice Mayor Liang Hao join the project team."

Zheng Bihui frowned, feeling slightly irritated.

Wu Qiangwei had discussed this matter with him after the group meeting on Monday.

He had made his stance very clear, no room for negotiation!

The Fengmen Building renovation project was his current focus.

Having already lost the high-speed rail project, he couldn’t allow anyone else to meddle with the old city renovation project.

This project was directly related to his further advancement.

Wu Qiangwei daring to interfere was a direct threat to his political career, literally a slap in the face.

He didn’t mind flipping the table.

Just as he was about to explode, Secretary Lu’s phone suddenly vibrated.

He glanced at it, initially reluctant to answer since the Standing Committee meeting was still in session.

But seeing the caller, he felt compelled to pick up.

It was from Zhang Meilin.

A sense of foreboding surged through him.
