Chapter 1664: Chapter 620: With Her in the Restaurant’s Private Room...

"Damn, what are you guys talking about? It’s just a watch, how expensive can it be?"

"How expensive? Ha... the one he’s wearing is at least over a million!"

"Over a million!? Damn, that watch alone can buy a Benz, isn’t that too much?"

"What do you think? Even if Zhang Lihua has money, it’s unlikely she’d spend over a million on a watch for someone, so he definitely must be impressive himself."

"True, a capable and beautiful woman like Zhang Lihua wouldn’t find a man who’s lacking, damn, I admire that!"

Amidst everyone’s imaginings, Zhang Jingdong and Zhang Lihua got into her red BMW together.

At this moment, Zhang Jingdong pulled her hand over and kissed it: "Where are we going now? How about your place? Or mine?"

Zhang Lihua glanced at him with a light smile: "I’ll take you to meet someone first, then we’ll see."

"Meet someone? Who?"

"You’ll know once we get there!"

With that, Zhang Lihua deftly started the car and soon disappeared from the scene.

To be honest, Zhang Jingdong suddenly felt a strange sense of unease, wondering if she was taking him to see Song Yunshan?

This town is not that small, but also not that big.

If you say it’s small, there are tens of thousands of people here, but if you say it’s big, anyone could know anyone. Even if they don’t know each other, they could get introduced through someone else.

Moreover, he remembered that Song Yunshan’s parents were prominent figures in this county, and Zhang Lihua was the owner of the best restaurant here, so they could very well know each other.

If Zhang Lihua and Song Yunshan’s mom are best friends, that would be a real problem.

Thinking of this, a strange smile quietly appeared at the corner of Zhang Jingdong’s mouth.

Zhang Lihua noticed this, and couldn’t help but ask: "What are you thinking about?"

Zhang Jingdong snapped back to reality: "Nothing... nothing at all?"

Zhang Lihua pursed her lips: "Don’t worry, although he’s my relative, I’ve already told him in advance not to say anything about us to the family."

"He’s your relative?" Zhang Jingdong was a bit puzzled at first, but quickly caught on: "That’s fine, even if he tells your parents, it doesn’t matter. Sooner or later I’ll meet your parents anyway."

Zhang Lihua’s heart was moved, but she said: "Keep dreaming, it’s too early for that. I’m taking you to see him because of our business this time."

"...Alright."

Zhang Lihua saw that Zhang Jingdong seemed a little down and said immediately: "Why, do you think I shouldn’t involve my relative in our business? It’s not on purpose, mainly because he has a lot of resources in the county. With his help, our project’s progress can speed up a lot."

Zhang Jingdong shrugged: "What are you thinking? This project is for you, whoever you find to help, I’ll support with both hands."

"Then why do you seem a little unhappy?"

Zhang Jingdong boldly said: "I’m unhappy because it seems like you don’t want to tell your parents about us. Do you think being with me is something to be ashamed of?"

"Of course not, how could I? It’s just that... it’s just not a good time to tell them yet. We just got back together after a long time, and if I tell them, they might worry a little, you know."

Saying this, Zhang Lihua took the initiative to hold Zhang Jingdong’s hand: "Next time you come back, I’ll definitely take you to meet them, is that okay?"

"That’s more like it!"

With that, Zhang Jingdong kissed Zhang Lihua’s hand directly.

Zhang Lihua seemed a bit shy on the surface, but felt warm inside.

In truth, she was a bit worried that Zhang Jingdong wouldn’t want to meet her parents, after all, she wasn’t his only woman, and she wouldn’t become his wife either. She was at most just his lover.

Because of this, she even secretly decided to hide this from her parents for life, and mentally prepared herself to continue facing their pressure to get married.

But now, Zhang Jingdong had actually brought up the topic himself, and although there would still be challenges to handle then, she was already very satisfied with his attitude.

About ten minutes later, the red BMW slowly came to a stop below a tea house.

The two got out of the car, went inside, and were then led by a waiter up to the second floor to room number 3.

Inside the room, a man and a woman were already waiting.

When they saw Zhang Lihua and the others, they stood up immediately and greeted them.

"Aunt!"

Zhang Jingdong instinctively looked them over, finally resting his gaze on the man, scrutinizing him, which brought a smile to his heart.

Because he seemed to recall, this man was Wu Shang’s father, Wu Jianguo.

In his first year of high school, Wu Shang liked to flaunt his family’s wealth, having his dad drive him to school in a Benz every day, so Zhang Jingdong remembered his dad a bit.

Meanwhile, Wu Jianguo and his wife Liu Yue were also quietly observing Zhang Jingdong.

Wu Jianguo had managed to establish himself in the county over the years, so he was good at reading people.

He quickly sensed the strong air of authority emanating from Zhang Jingdong and immediately discarded any initial dismissive thoughts or doubts he had due to Zhang Jingdong’s overly youthful appearance.

On the other hand, Liu Yue’s gaze revealed a hint of jealousy and disdain.

Over the years, Liu Yue had always considered herself superior in the county due to her beauty, having a son, and her husband’s ability to earn money, even developing a bit of arrogance.

But there was one person she couldn’t act high-handed around, and that was Zhang Lihua.

For one, Zhang Lihua was prettier and made her own money; for another, Zhang Lihua was the aunt her husband respected the most.

Yet even so, as a woman, she didn’t want to be overshadowed by Zhang Lihua.

So she chose to amplify her advantage over Zhang Lihua, being that she married well and had a son, while Zhang Lihua hadn’t even found a man.

But now...

She vaguely felt that she might have completely lost even this advantage.
