However, the brat in front of me said it so confidently. What's worse was that the commander-in-chief had a subconscious thought that this was how he should reply …
It wasn't that this brat had become arrogant after getting first place in the selection, but it was due to his stubbornness and principles.
"Oh, then what if the old man entrusted Wan 'er to you, and the Shangguan family's business was handed over to an outsider to manage? You don't have any objections, right?" The commander-in-chief was really angry and couldn't help but say with a straight face.
"Yes, I don't have any objections. This is Grandpa Shangguan's right."
I couldn't help but smile. Even though I felt that it was a pity, I believed in the saying, 'Sometimes, it's fated to happen, but if it's not fated to happen, then don't force it.'
Regardless of people or matters, I always had the same attitude. Just like in the matter of Liu Yuhan, I tried my best to make her stay, but I didn't succeed. She still chose to leave, but I didn't feel too guilty. Perhaps, if fate allowed it, I would have the chance to see her in the future.
"You little brat, you really make this old man feel helpless. It's right to say that you love the country more than beauties!
However, I really don't feel at ease handing over the foundation that I've worked so hard to build to someone else. Forget it, forget it. Just like you said, it's useless to force you. If you're unwilling when the time comes, even if the old man doesn't force you, you'll still be willing to carry the flag, right? "The commander-in-chief shook his head and sighed.
Since he was in a high position, he was more open-minded when it came to women. Many high-ranking officials and dignitaries had all kinds of ambiguous relationships with lovers, mistresses, and so on. Even if the legal wife knew about it, she could only turn a blind eye.
As long as one had the ability, there was no need to fuss over matters that didn't violate his principles. After all, no one was perfect. The commander-in-chief naturally understood this logic. Moreover, I wasn't the kind of man who liked the new and got tired of the old.
Hearing his compromising tone, I instantly beamed with joy. I carefully asked, "Aha, Grandpa Shangguan, do you mean that you won't interfere with me being with Wan 'er and won't force me to let them go?"
"Yes, do you really want this old man to say it so clearly?
Now, can you agree to carry the Shangguan family's flag? "
The commander-in-chief couldn't help but glare at me helplessly. This brat was a rare genius that only appeared once in a hundred years. His character and abilities weren't bad. Moreover, Wan 'er was truly in love with him.
It could be said that he had met the commander-in-chief's expectations in all aspects. He did not want to miss this opportunity. Otherwise, it was very likely that he would not meet a suitable candidate in his lifetime.
I was so excited that I was in a mess. Oh my god, now that the commander-in-chief had been dealt with, things would be much easier. He was the person who was known as the backbone of Nan Yun Province. Just think about it, when Liu Jie's father, Liu Zhanpeng, found out that even the commander-in-chief didn't mind Liu Jie sharing a husband, let alone him, he would be overjoyed.
From a certain point of view, this was a symbol of honor. From my point of view, there shouldn't be any difference in status between women. It was just that the degree to which I cared was different. Even if Little Cherry was the commander-in-chief's granddaughter, in certain matters, she should be treated equally with Liu Jie.
Originally, I thought that the commander-in-chief was the most difficult mountain to conquer. However, at this moment, I understood that I was too young. I couldn't deny that Wan 'er and I had a relationship that was stronger than gold. On this point, the commander-in-chief was moved. He already felt that he owed Wan' er a lot. Now that he didn't have a marriage alliance with the Ouyang family, he could still give Wan 'er happiness. This was truly killing two birds with one stone.
Moreover, the commander-in-chief was more than eighty years old. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he had one foot in the coffin. He didn't know how many years he had left to live. Instead of fighting to the death over this issue, it would be better to have a good relationship with me.
When I went to the park with my master, Shangguan Guoqiang brought Wan 'er to the hospital. He also secretly asked about this topic. Since Wan' er had integrated into my life with Liu Jie and Sister-in-law, she knew about our hard-won relationship. At that time, there were three beauties in the house, and I was the only male. I felt that the air was filled with a refreshing fragrance. It was simply too good.
Since she didn't want to make things difficult for me, Little Cherry said that she didn't care about this. As long as she could be with me, that was enough. Since she had already expressed her stance, the commander-in-chief couldn't say anything else. Originally, he just wanted to fight for Little Cherry to be with me as a husband. That couldn't be any better. Even if he failed, it wouldn't be shameful.
My unyielding performance left the commander-in-chief helpless, so he could only settle for the next best thing …
However, his concession was a great surprise to me. Originally, I had been having a headache over this issue, and I didn't know how to convince her parents. Of course, the easiest ones to settle were my sister-in-law's parents. They had tacitly approved of my relationship with Liu Jie, and I had provided them with a lot of material support. It could be said that the matter was settled.
As for Liu Zhanpeng, I felt that I was burying my head in the sand. With his status and connections, it was more than enough for him to investigate this issue. However, because I had helped his company, he wouldn't be too conflicted. He was just waiting for me to take the initiative to speak up and give him a way out. Now that I had the commander-in-chief's "reassurance", I believed that Liu Zhanpeng wouldn't make things difficult for me.
Hehe, the most troublesome issue was with Liu Yuhan. Actually, I had thought about reuniting with her, but I was waiting for the right time. When the matter of helping her find her biological parents was settled, I would have a reason to contact her.
At that time, I would try to persuade Teacher Liu to move her emotionally and reason with her!
"Aha, thank you for your understanding, Grandpa Shangguan."
I bowed deeply. This was a joy that came from the bottom of my heart. Actually, I was quite afraid that if the commander-in-chief was as stubborn as Teacher Liu, I would be at my wit's end.
Fortunately, he was open-minded. As long as Wan 'er was happy, everything was fine. Nothing was perfect. However, I still had a lot of concerns about carrying the flag.
"You don't have to thank me. As long as you don't feel ashamed of Wan 'er and my tolerance." He looked at me meaningfully.
"Cough, cough. However, Grandpa Shangguan, regarding carrying the Shangguan family's flag, I still can't agree to it. The current me isn't qualified. Just because you think I can, it doesn't mean that I can. When I feel satisfied, I will naturally look for you!" I cleared my throat and said seriously.
