Marriage First, True Love Later Chapter 151

Published at 19th of September 2022 01:09:30 PM

Because of the huge impact of su Yicheng's scandal, and considering the strong attitude of the media toward this matter, the SU family unanimously decided to let Anran stay in the military compound for the time being. After this matter was dealt with, Anran would be picked up by su Yicheng after the storm passed. In addition, su Yicheng's father had specifically ordered that su Yicheng was not to return to the courtyard until he had a reasonable and satisfactory solution to this matter. He would only return when the matter was resolved.

Although su Yicheng didn't want to be separated from Anran like this, he was already used to sleeping with his hand on Anran's stomach every night. He was used to her soft moans and soft moans in his arms. However, he also knew that staying in the courtyard was the best thing for Anran right now, and this was her father's order.

He drove straight to the government building and saw the media's interview vehicles blocking the gate. It seemed like they were really going to wait for him to appear.

He took out his phone and called Secretary Zheng. After making an appointment, he drove over and waited for him.

Su Yicheng had made an appointment at the club that he and ye Ziwen often visited. The environment there was good, and the quality of service was also high. They never asked about the guests 'matters and would never reveal them.

Su Yicheng went straight to the coffee shop and waited for Secretary Zheng to come over. Then, he took out his phone and searched for the news of the past two days. There was still an endless stream of news about his 'nude photo scandal' on various websites. Although the photos and videos had been ordered to be deleted, the discussion about this matter on the internet did not end just because of the deletion of the photos and videos. Many people began to question the quality of the current domestic officials because of this incident, and some people even directly exposed su Yicheng's family background. Then, some people began to wonder how he had managed to get to his current position at such a young age. In addition, Ling LAN had also accepted an interview with the media yesterday. She said that the video on the internet wasn't real, but when the reporters asked her about her relationship with su Yicheng, her attitude became a little ambiguous, only saying that the two of them were very good friends. With her words, the past relationship between him and Ling LAN became a hot topic. Some people started to suspect that the reason why he had been promoted so many times in the past few years, other than his family background, was also because of the support from the previous Mayor, Ling Chuanjiang.

To put it simply, the public opinion in the whole of Jiangcheng and even the whole of China had pushed su Yicheng to the forefront of the storm.

“Can we sit down and have a chat?”

Su Yicheng retracted his gaze from the screen of his mobile phone and looked up to see Zhou han, who was dressed in a neat suit and holding a briefcase in his hand. It was obvious that he had just come out of a meeting with someone.

Su Yicheng only nodded and didn't refuse.

Zhou han sat down in front of him and placed the briefcase in his hand on the seat beside him.

The waiter here was indeed very well-mannered. As soon as Zhou han sat down, someone came over with a glass of water and a menu. Zhou han didn't take the menu and only ordered a cup of coffee from the waiter.

After the waiter pushed the door open, Zhou han fixed his eyes on su Yicheng, and su Yicheng was also looking at him at the moment.

“I saw the news about you. Do you need my help?” Zhou han asked.

Su Yicheng only shook his head. &Quot; there's no need for that. Thank you. &Quot;

Zhou han nodded. He didn't doubt that he would be able to solve this problem. He picked up the tea that the waiter had just served and took a sip. After a long while, he slowly said, ” “I didn't expect us to end up like this.” There was no lack of emotion in his tone.

Su Yicheng didn't say anything and only picked up his coffee and took a sip.

Zhou han said slowly, ” actually, I've always been jealous of you. I also hated you. I was jealous that you could have her full love. I hated that you could make her eyes only lock on you. I was clearly the one who knew her first, but ever since you appeared, I was no longer in her eyes. &Quot;

Although he didn't name her, su Yicheng knew that the 'she' he was talking about was Ling LAN.

&Quot; you might not know this, but before the two of you started dating, I once confessed to her, but she rejected me. She was very direct and didn't care about my feelings. She said that the person she liked was you and that she would like you for the rest of her life. &Quot; As he said that, Zhou han laughed softly. &Quot; actually, I was very angry the moment she rejected me. I was angry that she couldn't see the good in me even though I was no worse than you in any way. At that time, I was so childish that I even wanted to fight with you. However, when I walked to your door, I stopped because I didn't want to lose you as a friend. I didn't want to lose you as a brother. &Quot; As Zhou han said this, his eyes were staring straight at su Yicheng, who was sitting opposite him.

Su Yicheng also looked back at him, not avoiding his gaze.

The coffee arrived at this time. &Quot; Sir, your coffee. &Quot; The waitress placed the coffee in front of Zhou han with a smile and then left with a smile.

Zhou han retracted his gaze. There was a faint smile on his lips, but it looked a little bitter. He took a small spoon and gently mixed the black liquid. Without adding sugar or milk, he picked up the coffee and took a light sip. The bitter liquid flowed down his throat and directly into his stomach. His face remained unchanged, not showing any twisted or ferocious expression because of the bitterness of the coffee.

&Quot; after you two got together, although I was jealous and unwilling, I still gave you my blessings. Although I couldn't have her, I knew that you were someone who would keep your promise for life once you gave her a role. I knew that you would never let her suffer again when you held her hand. &Quot; As he spoke, Zhou han lowered his tone. He was silent for a while before he said, ” &Quot; I thought you two would be happy and go far together, but I didn't expect her to come to me crying on a rainy night … &Quot;

Su Yicheng didn't say a word, and his eyes were only fixed on the cup of coffee.

“We've all done wrong. From the start, we've made a few mistakes, but we've made more and more mistakes. I don't want to, but I can't control myself. &Quot; in the end, I even betrayed my best friend and brother because of that ridiculous love. At that time, I thought I wouldn't regret it, but in the end … &Quot; Zhou han shook his head with a bitter smile. Standing up, he looked at him and said, ” I've known Ling LAN for 30 years. From the moment she was born until now, I've always thought that I knew her very well. However, it was only after I divorced her that I realized that I didn't know her at all. In fact, I've never even seen her clearly. I'll say one last thing, her methods shouldn't be limited to this, you'd better be on your guard.” After he finished speaking, he took the briefcase on the side and turned to leave.

Su Yicheng's eyes were fixed on his back, and just as he was about to reach the door, he suddenly stood up and shouted, ” “Zhou han, when are you free to have a drink?”

Zhou han was stunned and turned to look at him. After a while, he came back to his senses and nodded.”Alright, I'll wait until you're done with this.”

Su Yicheng nodded, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

Zhou han also laughed, but he didn't walk over. He waved his hand and walked out of the coffee shop.

When Secretary Zheng came over, he happened to pass by Zhou han, who was leaving. The two of them recognized each other and didn't talk much. They just nodded slightly.

When Secretary Zheng came in again, su Yicheng had already returned to his seat. When he saw him coming over, he raised his hand to signal him.

Secretary Zheng walked over to him and handed him the information in his hand. He explained, ” &Quot; the Public Security Bureau has already gotten an expert to verify that the video is fake. The police are still investigating the person who posted the video, but according to the latest news, the person who posted the video is obviously an experienced person. The police found out that the ID of the person who posted the video was from an unlicensed internet cafe in the suburbs. There was no registration and no surveillance, so it's hard to find out if the person who posted the video is a man or a woman. &Quot;

Su Yicheng flipped through the information while listening to Secretary Zheng. When he was almost done reading the information, he looked up at him and said, ” “Go to the hotel and check the surveillance video of the gate between 11:30 and 12:00 that night. Maybe you can find something.”

Secretary Zheng nodded and looked at him. He wanted to say something, but he hesitated. &Quot; su city, that … &Quot; the words were at the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't say them.

Su Yicheng raised his eyebrows. &Quot; if you have something to say, just say it, ” he said. &Quot; don't beat around the bush. &Quot;

“I heard from the municipal Party Committee that no matter if it's true or not, you will be punished.” After Secretary Zheng finished speaking, he carefully observed his reaction.

Upon hearing this, su Yicheng nodded, and the expression on his face didn't change. He didn't seem to be too surprised, and he only said, ” “I know.”

“Su city, aren't you worried?” Secretary Zheng asked curiously.

Su Yicheng glanced at him and simply said, ” “Is there any use in worrying? Since he knew it was going to happen, there was no use in worrying. It's better to let nature take its course than this.” In fact, he was starting to get tired of being busy during this period of time. He went out early and came back late every day. It was fine when he was alone in the past, but now that he had Anran, and Anran was pregnant, he actually wanted to spend more time with her.

Secretary Zheng nodded and looked at him. &Quot; “Su city is very open-minded.”

Su Yicheng smiled faintly and was about to say something when he heard the phone on the table ring at this time. It was a call from the city. He picked up the phone and said, ” Hello, who is this? ”

&Quot; are you Deputy Mayor su Yicheng? ” It was a strange man's voice on the other end of the phone, and his tone was not kind.

Su Yicheng frowned and only asked, ” “Yes, may I know who you are?”

&Quot; I'm Wu chengbin, Captain of the criminal investigation team of Jiangcheng city's Public Security Bureau. I'm calling today to ask Mayor su to cooperate with a rape case that happened on Park Road in the early hours of the morning last night. The victim insisted that the suspect was you, Deputy Mayor su, so I'm asking you to cooperate with the investigation. May I ask where Deputy Mayor su is now? ”

Su Yicheng's brows furrowed even deeper, and he only asked, ” “Who's the victim?”

“Ling LAN.”
