Marry a female star at a bargain price

When Han Xixi saw her husband's smug look, she could roughly guess what he meant by "doing something important".

Most likely... he himself is what the "big deal" is about!
Xi Xi didn't intend to refuse him.

After all, absence makes the heart grow fonder, and this time they hadn't seen each other for several days because of a performance trip.

I...actually...also...want to...

As Xixi sat in the car, looking at the hotels outside the window, scenes of the two of them deeply intimate involuntarily surfaced in her mind, and her face inexplicably turned red.

"Honey, what's wrong? Why is your face so red? Do you have a fever?" Lin Xiao asked worriedly from the side.

Xi Xi was quite embarrassed: "Uh, it's nothing... it's just too hot..."

Lin Xiao frowned: Hot?!
Although the air conditioning wasn't on in the car, it's already November, and everyone's wearing coats and jackets, so how could it be hot?

He couldn't understand.

I can only guess that my wife was tired from the journey, so she opened the window a little to let the autumn breeze in.

Xi Xi pursed her lips.

"Honey, where are we going? How much longer until we get there?" she asked shyly.

"Just a moment, don't rush!"

Lin Xiao gave him an ambiguous look, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Xixi became even more shy, and her mind began to uncontrollably conjure up images of a large bed, a large bathtub, and...

My heart was pounding, and my face turned even redder!
"Han Xixi, how did you become so lewd... You're hopeless!"

Xi Xi screamed inwardly.

After waiting all the way, the car finally came to a slow stop in front of a residential building.

Xi Xi stared in disbelief: Weren't we going to a hotel? How did we end up in a residential area?

My husband bought a house just for me... Is that really necessary? We don't come to Yizhou very often!
Wait a minute, why does this neighborhood look so familiar...?

Xixi became more and more confused, not knowing what her husband was trying to do.

It wasn't until he led her out of the car, into the building, and onto the elevator that she suddenly realized why she felt a sense of familiarity.

This neighborhood is my dad's home in Yizhou.

I came here once before.

Startled, Han Xixi's excitement turned into doubt and unease, and she gripped Lin Xiao's hand even tighter.

"What's wrong? Are you nervous?" Lin Xiao asked.

Xi Xi rolled her eyes at him, annoyed: "Why did you bring me here instead of taking me home?"

Lin Xiao joked, "Isn't your dad's house your home? Isn't this what it means to come home?"

Xi Xi was too lazy to argue with him, so she had no choice but to admit defeat.

Lin Xiao, however, became even more excited and feigned surprise, saying, "Oh my, you were all so excited, expectant, and shy in the car just now... You didn't think I was going to take you to a hotel, and you couldn't wait, did you?"

Xi Xi immediately became agitated, stomping her foot and saying, "Who's impatient! Lin Lin Lin Lin Xiao, don't make false accusations!"

Lin Xiao laughed loudly: "Han Xixi, why are you stuttering? Are you feeling guilty?"

Xi Xi was caught red-handed, feeling shy, embarrassed, and utterly ashamed. She had no words to argue, so she could only blush, lower her head, and bite her lip, her entire neck turning bright red.

Seeing his wife like this, Lin Xiao was overjoyed.

"My wife actually wanted to do human experiments with me! Does that mean she's been properly trained and her instincts have been awakened?"

"We've finally made it through!"

Lin Xiao suddenly felt a sense of relief and joy, and was moved to tears.

Knowing that his wife was shy, he couldn't bear to laugh at her, so he lowered his head and kissed her forehead.

Then he whispered in her ear, "Don't rush when we get home tonight."

Xi Xi blushed even more, giving him a reproachful glare: "Who's in such a hurry..."

Her voice was barely audible, and her face was so red and tender it looked like it could be squeezed to release moisture.

Lin Xiao became increasingly satisfied, laughing heartily.

A sweet atmosphere filled the small space.

Shortly after, the elevator arrived.

Lin Xiao took the lead and cleared the way. Although he had the key and had informed his father-in-law in advance, he still knocked on the door honestly because he was there to complain and ask for help.

A moment later, the door opened.

"You're here, come in, come in..."

Han Haijun appeared at the door, his eyes filled with excitement and anticipation.

At this moment, he had lost all of the mayor's imposing manner and pride; all he felt was anticipation and excitement for his child's return home.

He let the young couple inside.

During this period, with Lin Xiao's intentional or unintentional "matchmaking," Xi Xi had several meetings with her father and gradually forgave his insistence on divorcing her mother, accepting and respecting the fact that her parents would live separately in the future.

Ultimately, that was a matter for the previous generation. No matter how determined Dad was to get a divorce, he didn't make any fundamental mistakes, and as a father, he never mistreated his daughter.

Xixi had no right to blame him.

But then again, while I understand, the awkward atmosphere between my daughter and her father is still unavoidable every time they meet.

It's not just her.

Han Haijun is now always very uneasy when he's with his daughter, and he doesn't look like a mayor at all anymore.

The father and daughter acted as if they had just met, completely unfamiliar with each other.

"Have some tea, have some tea..."

"Eat fruit, eat fruit..."

"Are you hungry? I'll cook for you..."

The South Korean navy greeted them enthusiastically.

Xixi remained indifferent throughout, but she accepted every cup of tea and fruit her father poured for her, trying her best to give him face.

Lin Xiao felt uncomfortable watching this awkward scene, so he took the initiative to start a conversation with his father-in-law about work.

Xixi was left out in the cold, which made her feel much more relaxed.

"By the way, Xiaolin, you said on WeChat yesterday that you had something to tell me in person. What is it?" Han Haijun asked.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao's expression suddenly changed, his lips turned down, and his grievance came unexpectedly.

"Dad... I don't want to be the town mayor anymore..."

he said suddenly.

This sudden remark completely stunned Han Haijun and Han Xixi, the father and daughter exchanging horrified glances.

"What's wrong? Are you having any difficulties at work? Is it because of the house selection event at the Xingguang Town village merger yesterday?" Han Haijun asked hurriedly.

"Dad, you already know?" Lin Xiao took the opportunity to back down.

"It was broadcast live, and then it trended all over the internet. I don't think it would be hard for anyone not to know about it, right?" Han Haijun smiled broadly, his eyes filled with pride that his daughter and son-in-law were wonderful.

Xixi became even more shy under her father's approving gaze and buried her head in eating fruit.

"To be honest, Dad, it's because of the village-town merger!"

"Is the house selection process not going smoothly? I saw yesterday that several families reserved houses on the spot, which is already quite good. Community outreach requires patience; it can't be done overnight. You have to..."

The South Korean Navy patiently began to teach them.

Lin Xiao pouted and shook his head repeatedly: "It's not because the policy is difficult to implement. No matter how difficult it is, it's still my job, and I will grit my teeth and persevere!" These words made Han Haijun and Han Xixi even more puzzled.

"If it's not about work, then what is it?" Han Haijun asked again.

"Yes……"

Lin Xiao feigned hesitation and sighed, "Dad, you saw it online yesterday when someone led a disturbance at the house selection site, right?"

Han Haijun nodded: "I see! A thug trying to extort money from me. Just send him away!"

"No, no, that's no ordinary thug!" Lin Xiao shook his head frantically.

Han Haijun became serious: "Who is he?"

Lin Xiao had been laying the groundwork all along, waiting for this moment, a smug look flashing across his lips.

Han Xixi caught him in that mischievous grin as she tilted her head to look at him.

Xi Xi immediately understood.

She couldn't help but roll her eyes: That brat, she actually has two faces!
Lin Xiao said pitifully, "Dad, I had someone investigate. The person is the brother-in-law of the boss of an engineering company in Mashan County, named Zhang Bo. That company is called Yaofa Engineering. They were the contractor for the first phase of the village consolidation project in Xingguang Town last year, and the quality was appalling..."

Lin Xiao stopped there.

When it comes to reporting someone's misdeeds, it's like admiring a beautiful woman; you can't reveal too much. The highest level is to show half and hide the other half.

With the South Korean Navy's keen sense of this industry.

These two sentences were enough for him to instantly grasp the hidden meaning behind them.

Being too blunt is not elegant!
As expected, Han Haijun had a knowing look on his face as soon as Lin Xiao finished speaking.

That's right, Lin Xiao came here today to call for reinforcements and ask for outside help!
This powerful dragon has clashed with Yu Yaojun, this local bully, several times already.

It's time to settle things once and for all.

To be honest, Lin Xiao never took Yu Yaojun seriously; he was just a clown.

Even if this guy has a powerful backer and strong methods in Mashan County.

Lin Xiao's backing is even stronger than his.

Their methods will only be more ruthless than his.

He could completely disregard Yu Yaojun and the forces behind him, and push forward his work as he pleased.

Flies don't bite, but they are annoying.

Just like yesterday's house selection site, Yu Yaojun sent people to cause trouble. If it weren't for Lin Xiao's genuine morality and willingness to donate all of his income for the year in advance for the sake of local development, it would have been a disaster.

I'm afraid that given the momentum yesterday, I might really be brought down by this wave of moral blackmail.

Even though he later turned the tide, he was still disgusted by Yu Yaojun, that stinking fly.

That very night, he decided that he had to get rid of this disgusting thing.

The decision has been made, but figuring out how to take action is another difficult task.

No matter how capable Lin Xiao is, he is a top celebrity known throughout the internet, and his every move is closely watched by netizens. If he were to use any extraordinary means, it would be easy for Yu Yaojun to discover and expose it online, which would truly be a case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead.

Secondly, Lin Xiao is the head of a town, a position of righteousness that is hard to deny, and he is unwilling to use underhanded means to deal with others, even if those others are scoundrels.

However, Lin Xiao believed that Yu Yaojun had been running rampant in the village for so many years, and his hands must be dirty. A simple investigation would be enough to send him to jail for a few years.

But the key point is that Lin Xiao is just a town mayor and has no authority over Yaofa Engineering Company.

There's no legitimate reason to investigate him.

After much thought, he realized that the only person he could rely on, and who also had the means to investigate Yu Yaojun, was his father-in-law, Han Haijun.

However, Lin Xiao was only 70% confident that he could persuade his father-in-law to come out of retirement.

Yu Yaojun is a local tyrant in Mashan County.

Mashan County is under the jurisdiction of Yizhou City, and Han Haijun is the mayor of Yizhou City.

The intricacies of this situation are so complex that a single move can have far-reaching consequences.

If it really flares up, no one can predict how big the storm will be.

Lin Xiao could think of this, but Han Haijun's keen intuition would only lead him to think even further ahead.

So, faced with her son-in-law's brief and to-the-point complaint, she...

The South Korean Navy did not respond immediately, but instead frowned and fell into deep thought.

The atmosphere in the living room suddenly became strange.

Lin Xiao couldn't rush to get a promise from his father-in-law, so he continued with his manipulative remarks: "Hey, Dad, to be honest, yesterday's house selection event really hurt me. That Yu Yaojun, because he didn't get anything from me, sent people to cause trouble, slander me, and defame me, which I can accept. What's hateful is that the villagers don't understand me either!"
"I'm the most renowned talent in the music industry right now. I'm giving up all the opportunities in the industry to settle down at the grassroots level, thinking I can do something practical for the people. But they don't appreciate it at all. I helped them make money selling oranges, and they enthusiastically presented me with a banner. When I asked them to support the policy of merging villages and towns, they started complaining that I was greedy... I can't continue being the town mayor!"

As Lin Xiao spoke, his face was full of grievance, and he sighed repeatedly.

Han Haijun smiled and said, "You've always been a very strong-willed kid. Why are you giving up on yourself after such a setback? It's nothing serious. Besides, yesterday's house selection event was a good start. As long as we continue to proceed step by step, leading the team to visit each household, I believe we'll soon see tangible results..."

The South Korean Navy spoke lightly, but the reasoning behind it is indeed sound.

But Lin Xiao felt heavy-hearted upon hearing this.

The subtext of my father-in-law's evasive answer is that he has no intention of getting involved in this matter!
He was a little unhappy.

After his counterattack at the housing selection site yesterday, he believed that Yu Yaojun would not cause any more trouble in the short term, at least not in the process of promoting the village and town merger project.

But this is not the ending Lin Xiao wanted.

Yesterday, I was on the verge of death, while Yu Yaojun suffered no losses; at most, he returned empty-handed.

This made it impossible for him to swallow his anger.

That's why he went to such great lengths to find his father-in-law today, feigning grievance and playing the role of a scheming woman, all in an attempt to ask the mayor to redress the grievances of a commoner like himself.

Unexpectedly, the mayor's father-in-law pretended to be deaf and dumb.

Heaven is truly blind!
Lin Xiao was indignant, but he couldn't continue complaining. He could only pretend to be comforted and nod, planning to think of a solution when he got back.

However, at this moment, Xixi, who had been silent all along, spoke up and called out, "Dad!"

This shout startled both Han Haijun and Lin Xiao.

Han Haijun, in particular, hadn't heard his daughter call him that in a long time, and he felt as if he had been through a lifetime, and had an urge to burst into tears.

"Hey, hey..."

He replied quickly.

Xi Xi looked at him, hesitated for a long time, and finally unleashed her ultimate move.

She pursed her lips, her eyes looking pitiful, and said in a low voice, "Please help Lin Xiao..."

After saying just those few words, Xixi couldn't continue the act.

I felt disgusted with myself.

She had never acted like this before, not even when she had the best relationship with her parents.

He's really not good at it; his skills are far inferior to Lin Xiao's.

However, even with the same tactic of pretending to be a green tea b*tch, the effects can be drastically different depending on who uses it.

Lin Xiao had just pretended to be weak and pitiful, rambling on and on, but Han Haijun didn't respond and just pretended not to understand.

When it came to Xixi, only seven words were spoken.

The South Korean Navy immediately waved its hand and exclaimed enthusiastically, "Good!"

Lin Xiao was stunned on the spot, his mind screaming:

"This actually works?!" (End of Chapter)
