Lu Qian was stunned for a moment. When she came back to her senses and wanted to call Qiao Liang to inform the other party, she found that Qiao Liang's phone number could not be reached. She only heard the message "The number you dialed is currently on call" coming from the mobile phone. When the notification sounded, Lu Qian was stunned. She had finished thinking, her Lord Liao had really called Qiao Liang.
Lu Qian couldn't help but sweat for Qiao Liang, fearing that if Qiao Liang gave a bad answer, her Lord Liao would be annoyed.
While Lu Qian was worried about Qiao Liang, Qiao Liang had just answered the call from Liao Gufeng. He hesitated for a long time before answering the call from Liao Gufeng. He felt a little frightened for no reason. After the long conversation between Liao Gufeng and him when he was hospitalized during the New Year, , he hasn’t replied to Liao Gufeng yet.
"Secretary Liao, why do you have time to call me?" Qiao Liang said slightly flatteringly when the call was connected.
"Xiao Qiao, are you busy here?" Liao Gufeng asked on the other end of the phone.
"No, no, no, Secretary Liao, if you have anything to say, just tell me." Qiao Liang said hurriedly.
"Well, then I will waste about ten minutes of your time and talk to you about some personal matters." Liao Gufeng said with a smile.
"Secretary Liao, you are out of town. If you have anything to say," Qiao Liang said hurriedly.
After Qiao Liang finished speaking, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. Liao Gufeng was so polite to him and said he wanted to discuss personal matters. Qiao Liang was a little panicked.
"Xiao Qiao, did Lu Qian talk to you about the engagement a few days ago?" Liao Gufeng asked straight to the point.
There was a reason why Liao Gufeng asked directly, without giving Qiao Liang any psychological preparation, because a person's subconscious reaction is the most real.
After hearing what Liao Gufeng said, Qiao Liang was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Liao Gufeng to ask this. He thought of Lu Qian talking to him about the engagement without warning a few days ago. He also asked Lu Qian if it was her father's intention. Qian told him no, and Qiao Liang really believed her at the time. Now it seems that Lu Qian didn't tell him the truth.
When Qiao Liang was stunned, Liao Gufeng immediately figured it out. His daughter Lu Qian had already talked about this with Qiao Liang, and she just deceived him into saying no. The result was obvious. Qiao Liang probably didn't agree. , or he was looking for an excuse to shirk, otherwise his silly girl wouldn't have to fool him. Thinking of this, Liao Gufeng smiled bitterly. This silly girl really only thought about Qiao Liang.
Liao Gufeng didn't wait for Qiao Liang to speak and continued, "Xiao Qiao, what do you think of our Xiaoqian?"
Qiao Liang subconsciously replied, "Secretary Liao, Lu Qian is a very good girl."
Liao Gufeng chuckled and said, "Then tell me the truth, do you like our Xiaoqian?"
Qiao Liang was stunned and asked himself, it was impossible to say that he didn't like Lu Qian, but he had always adopted an evasive attitude towards feelings before. Now that Liao Gufeng asked him this, Qiao Liang didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"Xiao Qiao, if you like it or not, just give me an accurate answer." Liao Gufeng asked, his voice was not loud, because Liao Gufeng didn't want Qiao Liang to feel that he was putting pressure on him, but he had been in a high position for a long time, but he still Liao Gufeng's calm voice carried a powerful aura of calmness and authority.
Liao Gufeng's idea at this time is very simple. If Qiao Liang answers that he doesn't like it, then he won't say any more nonsense, because there is nothing to talk about. Qiao Liang even said that he doesn't like it, so what else can he talk about?
Qiao Liang didn't hesitate too much this time and replied, "Secretary Liao, I definitely like Lu Qian."
Liao Gufeng was quite satisfied with Qiao Liang's answer, and with a slight smile on his face, he said, "Xiao Qiao, since you also like our Xiaoqian, and you are both grown up, let's talk about your lifelong events. As an elder, it’s not too much for me to talk to you about this, right?”
A smile appeared on Qiao Liang's face, "Not too much, not too much."
Liao Gufeng said, "Xiao Qiao, since Xiaoqian has already talked to you a few days ago, I won't go into details. My point is very simple. I hope you will get engaged first. As for when to get married, you can take your time." Let’s discuss it slowly, I think if you and Xiaoqian both like each other, it will be a matter of course for you to get engaged first, what do you think?”
Qiao Liang didn't know what to say for a moment. When he was hospitalized during the Chinese New Year, Liao Gufeng had a deep talk with him once, and it was also about him and Lu Qian. He still hasn't replied to Liao Gufeng. Now that Liao Gufeng is talking to him about the two of them again, Qiao Liang Liang knew that if he continued to find excuses to be perfunctory and evasive, it would be a bit unjustifiable.
But if he gave Liao Gufeng an answer now, Qiao Liang couldn't make a decision. The engagement was too sudden, and Qiao Liang was completely unprepared. When Lu Qian talked about this matter with him a few days ago, Qiao Liang didn't know it was Liao Gufeng. I didn’t think about it seriously afterwards.
Liao Gufeng listened to Qiao Liang's silence and said, "Xiao Qiao, since you also like Xiao Qian, what are you hesitating about? Or do you think our Xiao Qian is not good enough for you?"
Qiao Liang was startled and said quickly, "Secretary Liao, I didn't mean that. It's just that I'm not worthy of Lu Qian. Secretary Liao, if you say that, you'll kill me."
Liao Gufeng waved his hand, "Don't talk about it now. If you don't mean that, then why are you hesitating about the engagement?"
Qiao Liang hesitated for a moment, "Secretary Liao, this matter is a bit sudden. I have to discuss it with my parents. How about you give me some time and I will give you an answer in a few days."
Liao Gufeng was not angry when he heard what Qiao Liang said. Qiao Liang wanted to discuss it with his parents. This was a reasonable request. Liao Gufeng thought for a while and said, "Xiao Qiao, let's do this. I'll give you a week. After one week, Can you give me a definite answer so that it won't embarrass you?"
Qiao Liang was silent for a moment and said, "It's not difficult."
Hearing that Qiao Liang's tone was a little dull, Liao Gufeng said, "Xiao Qiao, do you think I am using my power to oppress you?"
Qiao Liang hurriedly shook his head and said, "Secretary Liao, I don't mean that."
Liao Gufeng smacked his lips and said, "Xiao Qiao, I am talking to you about this as an elder. Don't keep calling Secretary Liao. If you don't mind, you can call me Uncle Liao, even if there is no Xiaoqian." Regarding this matter, I have always treated you as a junior. Even if you and Xiaoqian are not together in the end, I will not be dissatisfied with you. If you need my help with anything in the future, you can also come to me. , so I don’t want you to think that I’m using my power to suppress you, understand? I hope that the final choice you make is a willing one, and I won’t blame you whether you agree or not.”
Qiao Liang's expression was shocked. He felt Liao Gufeng's love for him from his words. At this moment, Qiao Liang felt deeply guilty. Neither Lu Qian nor Liao Gufeng had ever felt guilty because of him. They had despised him because of his family and status, but he was the one who didn't know the blessings in the midst of blessings. He was a divorced person, and even a family like Liao Gufeng didn't despise him, but he was still hesitant, which is not nice to say. If so, he actually doesn't know how to praise.
Thinking in his mind, Qiao Liang said, "Uncle Liao, I will definitely give you an answer in a week."
Liao Gufeng was obviously very happy when he heard Qiao Liang calling him Uncle Liao. He smiled and said, "Xiao Qiao, then I will wait for your news."
Qiao Liang nodded and said softly, "Yeah."
Liao Gufeng said again, "Xiao Qiao, it's not that uncle has to force you and Xiaoqian to get engaged early, but uncle also has difficulties. To tell you the truth, when I was transferred to the capital, some old friends saw that Xiaoqian was not married yet.
I started to have Xiaoqian's idea and wanted to marry my family. Uncle can't keep making excuses to avoid it, so if you and Xiaoqian get engaged as soon as possible, it won't be so difficult for uncle."
Hearing this, Qiao Liang suddenly realized that there was another reason behind this. No wonder Liao Gufeng suddenly asked him to get engaged to Lu Qian first. The other party was not unreasonable, but he also had difficulties. If he also liked Lu Qian, Liao Gufeng would make such a request.
In fact, it is not too much at all. On the contrary, if he said that he did not like Lu Qian, then Liao Gufeng could arrange a well-matched marriage for Lu Qian as soon as possible. Therefore, Liao Gufeng personally came to him to talk about this matter, which was also the last resort for him as a father.
.
Qiao Liang quickly said, "Uncle Liao, I understand you. You are doing this for Lu Qian's own good."
Liao Gufeng said, "It's not just for Xiaoqian. To be honest, uncle also likes you very much and hopes that you can be together."
Qiao Liang said, "Thank you, Uncle Liao, I will reply to you as soon as possible."
Liao Gufeng said, "Okay, it's settled."
The two chatted for a while, and Liao Gufeng hung up the phone. Qiao Liang was in a daze with his cell phone. He had always been evasive and passive in relationships and marriage, but now, Liao Gufeng indirectly urged him and put pressure on him, making Qiao Liang
Know that it's time to make a decision.
Regarding Liao Gufeng's urgent request that he give a reply within a week, Qiao Liang did not have any idea of blaming the other party. Putting himself in Liao Gufeng's shoes, Qiao Liang could understand Liao Gufeng. As a parent, Liao Gufeng did this.
It was entirely for the sake of his daughter. If Qiao Liang were in Liao Gufeng's position, he might not even be as easy to talk to as Liao Gufeng, so Qiao Liang felt that she should feel lucky. At least Liao Gufeng did not dislike the poor and love the rich, and also gave her money back.
He has enough respect.
When Qiao Liang's thoughts were wandering, his cell phone rang. This time it was Lu Qian calling. When Qiao Liang was talking to Liao Gufeng, he noticed an incoming call and guessed that the call just now was most likely from Lu Qian.
Qiao Liang picked up and said, "Lu Qian, did you call me just now?"
Lu Qian nodded and said, "I was the one who called you just now. Qiao Liang, did my dad call you?"
Qiao Liang said, "Well, I just got off the phone with your dad."
Hearing Qiao Liang's admission, Lu Qian was inexplicably nervous and stammered, "Damn... damn, what did my dad talk to you about?"
Qiao Liang laughed and said, "You must already know what your dad and I were talking about, why bother asking again knowingly?"
Lu Qian hurriedly explained, "Damn it, my dad suddenly started worrying about our affairs for some reason. You don't need to pay attention to him. If he says anything that makes you feel embarrassed, you don't need to pay attention either.
