The Beautiful CEO's Dragon Blood Bodyguard-Chapter 519 - 0: Apologizing at the Door

A group of people sat down, with Long Santai sitting in the middle of the small table, Long Fei and Lin Yingying on one side, and Geng Liang on the other.

Lin Yingying took the initiative to pour wine, trying to mediate relationships in the middle. She said to Long Fei, "Long Fei, the mayor is visiting our place, which is an honor for our family. You should quickly toast the mayor."

This compliment completely alleviated the awkwardness in Geng Liang’s heart.

Had Lin Yingying directly said that the mayor was staying here specifically to wait for Long Fei, it would have been akin to slapping his face.

Long Fei understood what Lin Yingying was thinking; she was afraid that she would put Geng Liang in a difficult position.

After all, one had to make a living in Binhai City, and it would never do to seriously offend the official parents.

Even if one had strong backing, the reality was that a local official wielded more immediate power.

And besides, Geng Liang had already lowered his stance enough.

Long Fei picked up his wine glass, turned to Geng Liang, and said, "Mayor, thank you for always caring for the people of Longjiawan Village. This cup, I offer on behalf of the folks from all our neighboring villages. If one day everyone manages to lift themselves out of poverty, we will certainly not forget your great kindness and great virtue!"

Geng Liang’s brow relaxed and he thought to himself that Long Fei was indeed sensible.

If Long Fei had intended to make things difficult today, Geng Liang wasn’t someone who could just sit back and take it.

No matter how strong an individual’s power was, it couldn’t surpass that of the state.

Long Fei might be a cultivator, but the state surely had ways to deal with such people, or else things would have been thrown into chaos.

He had heard that Huaxia had a secret department specifically responsible for handling various supernatural issues.

The tribulation event on the Shanghai City TV Tower a short while ago had stirred up much public attention, but in the end, it was easily resolved.

Since Long Fei had presented a cooperative stance, Geng Liang naturally picked up his glass, turned to Long Fei, and said, "Brother Long, you flatter me. It’s merely my duty, no great merit to speak of. It’s actually you who have brought back such a virtuous and capable wife to Longjiawan Village, and that’s a blessing for all the villagers!"

Surrounding villagers, led by Li Fugui, started to cheer, "Indeed, Director Lin is not only beautiful and wealthy, but also kind-hearted! It must be our ancestors manifesting their spirits that brought such a good daughter-in-law to our village!"

"That’s right. Last time she visited, she brought gifts. And this time, each household received a smartphone. I’m even on WeChat now!"

"The Long Family’s daughter-in-law is great, I can tell. She genuinely wants to help us."

The crowd lavished praises, causing Lin Yingying to blush, and she bashfully leaned closer to Long Fei.

Although she was an independent CEO, at that moment she acted just like a shy bride from the village.

Everyone drank a few cups, and soon after, the sound of a car approached.

An imposing vehicle came to a stop, and a young man alighted from it, went to the passenger side, and carried another teenager out.

These two were Zhang Bin and Geng Xiaojun.

One sat in a wheelchair, and the other carried two bottles of fine wine from the trunk, pushing the wheelchair towards them.

The villagers and the officials started whispering among themselves, curious about what they were here for.

From the incident in the greenhouse last time, they knew that Geng Xiaojun and Long Fei had some unpleasantness.

Looking at Geng Xiaojun now, with gifts in hand, it seemed like he was there to apologize?

As Long Fei and Lin Yingying turned and frowned, Geng Liang immediately stood up upon their approach and tried to mediate. "Brother Long, I must express my shame. I’ve been so busy with work, I haven’t had the time to discipline my son properly. Believe it or not, he respects no one else, and it seems only you can really handle him. This morning, he has deeply reflected on his mistakes and insisted on coming here to apologize to you. Don’t worry about my face, discipline him as you see fit. I have no objections."

Long Fei smiled. With things put this way, how could he still punish him?

Zhang Bin nudged Geng Xiaojun, who quickly spoke, "Master Long, my father is right. I’m here today to apologize to you. However you decide to punish me, I’ll accept it without complaint."

Zhang Bin placed the wine on the table, also politely saying, "Master Long, Xiaojun and I are sincerely here to apologize to you. Rest assured, we’ll certainly not act rashly towards you again. On the way over, Xiaojun and I talked it over. We hope we can be accepted as your disciples, with you as our master!"

With that, he knelt down on the spot, startling all the officials present.

They knew that this was the son of the city’s Director of Finance.

The Finance Bureau controls the purse strings of an entire city, which is a very powerful position.

These officials and villagers were all full of wonder, not knowing what Long Fei had done to earn such admiration from this second-generation official. frёewebηovel.cѳm

Geng Xiaojun said awkwardly, "Master Long, you know about my health condition, I can’t pay my respects to you."

Long Fei had never had a good impression of these rich second generations.

Perhaps it’s as the great man said, different classes are inherently opposed to each other.

He neither refused nor agreed but gestured with his hand, "You get up first, we’ll talk about taking on disciples later. There isn’t much enmity between us, just a spat at most, I won’t hold it against you."

Zhang Bin and Geng Xiaojun exchanged glances, their faces showing some disappointment, but their admiration for Long Fei grew even stronger.

In Binhai City, there were countless people who wanted to curry favor with them.

Yet this master didn’t give them a second glance, truly a man of high regard.

The more they were snubbed by him, the more they admired him.

There was no help for it, as they had grown up unruly. Suddenly encountering someone who stood firm, admiration was unavoidable.

Geng Liang let out a sigh of relief, actually quite hoping his son could become a disciple of Long Fei.

Putting everything else aside, his son, whom he couldn’t control, was showing such respect to Long Fei, which made him as a father feel incredibly despondent.

He picked up his drink and toasted to Long Fei, "Brother Long is magnanimous. I offer you this drink as a father."

Long Fei nodded, raised his glass, and clinked it with his.

With that, the matter was considered resolved, and Geng Liang left satisfied, followed by the others taking their leave.

After the crowd dispersed, Lin Yingying tidied up a bit and then asked Long Fei, "What happened to Tang Fengnian and the others?"

"They ran away!"

Long Fei helped her carry the bowls and chopsticks into the kitchen.

His kitchen was just a shack with three walls and a stove for burning firewood.

There was no sink, just a large basin.

Lin Yingying put the bowls and chopsticks into the basin and let out a breath, "As long as they escaped, it’s better than a loss of life."

Long Fei nodded, originally intending to help her wash the dishes.

But she pushed Long Fei out, saying that men were meant for greater things and that washing dishes wasn’t a skill to brag about.

Long Fei stared at her, feeling like he had encountered a fake wife.

Hearing those words from Lin Yingying’s mouth was truly surprising.

They stayed at home for one night. Lin Yingying didn’t make a fuss since they had expended too much energy the night before.

Long Fei now avoided her whenever he could, never taking the initiative unless she touched him first.

The next day, they said their goodbyes to Grandfather and the villagers early and returned to the city together.

Taking a taxi was of no use to Long Fei, so after getting back, he reached out to Su Yiyi, planning to give the car to her father.

Su Laicai was currently driving a company taxi and had to pay a daily fee.

If the car was transferred over, the money he earned in the future would be all his.

Of course, he could only transfer the car to Su Yiyi.

If it was transferred to Su Laicai, it would probably be gambled away within a few days.
