Chapter 112 - 107: That Girl Can’t Be Just a Pretty Face (Part 3)
Long Che scoffed coldly, "He’s now the captain of the Falcon Unit, directly under King Muta’s command. Do I dare yell at him? He’s practically my dad now!"
"Stop being sarcastic!" Tong Yao glared at him in exasperation. "Honey, what are we going to do about Shi Qing? That girl’s been hung up on Rui’er for ages."
Long Che furrowed his brow slightly, "She can obsess all she wants, but who ever promised her anything? That girl is too calculating. Let her into the family, and she’d sell you out in no time."
"Then how do we explain things to Ni Lu?"
"Explain what?" Long Che pinched her cheek lightly. "There’s no commitment, so we don’t owe her any explanation. Besides, that girl—do you like her, or does Rui’er like her?"
Tong Yao racked her brain, utterly puzzled, "I don’t get it either. Shi Qing is smart, capable, and polished in every way—why doesn’t a single one of us in the family like her?"
"Because she’s so polished that it feels fake. Remember her throwing Ni’er’s design drawings out as a child? And pushing her own brother into the swimming pool? You haven’t forgotten all that, have you? I think that’s her true self. Now that she’s grown up, she’s learned how to put on a facade, hiding all her imperfections. The more she acts like that, the faker she seems!" Long Che sighed in frustration, shaking his head. "Thank goodness neither of our kids fell for her. If they had, I’d have to rack my brains to set them straight."
"Every generation has its own fortune; let their love lives unfold naturally. Especially Ni’er..." Tong Yao noticed Long Che’s face darkening and shot him a glare before quickly leaving the study. Ai Ni’s situation had to be addressed gradually—first fix the son’s issue, then deal with the daughter!
Not long after, Tong Airui entered the study. Long Che gave him a once-over before saying sternly, "First, get your mother out of here. Then shut the door tight."
