Chapter 1093: Getting into the Monster’s Belly

After all, Suning has traveled through so many film and television worlds and has seen all kinds of strange women. It is naturally so easy for him to deal with a young girl who is not very worldly-wise.

Although Xu Jiajia said firmly that it was impossible for her to be with Suning, her body was very honest and accepted Suning's arrangement. She sat in Suning's luxury car and went straight back to her own home.

Before getting off the bus, Xu Jiajia turned to look at Su Ning and said, "Mr. Su... please give me some time to think about it. Don't come to pick me up tomorrow morning. I can take the bus by myself."

However, Su Ning took the initiative to ask Xu Jiajia to address him as she should, "From now on, you should just call me Su Ning. When I hear you call me Mr. Su, I feel like I'm your teacher."

"Su...Suning."

Then Su Ning continued to talk about his plans for tomorrow morning, "Xu Jiajia, I will be there on time tomorrow morning! As for your consideration, it will not affect my pursuit of you."

Seeing Suning being so shameless naturally made Xu Jiajia depressed, "You..."

However, Suning looked up through the car window and asked, "Xu Jiajia, the family on the third floor with the window open is yours, right?"

"Ah? How did you know?"

"I saw two elderly people sticking their heads out to look at us. I guess they must be your parents. Do you want me to visit them?"

"No!" Xu Jiajia refused without a second thought, then got out of the luxury car with a blushing heartbeat, "Suning, thank you for treating me to dinner tonight."

Xu Jiajia mustered up the courage to say something to Suning, and then she quickly went upstairs, as if Suning was a ferocious beast in her eyes.

However, Suning did not drive away immediately at this time. Instead, he got out of the car and nodded to the two curious eyes on the third floor. After receiving their smiling response, he got in his Mercedes-Benz again and drove away.

After Xu Jiajia opened the door to her home, she was naturally met with the curious gazes of her parents. "Dad, Mom, why are you still awake so late?"

Mother Xu naturally looked at her daughter with a smile on her face and asked, "Jia Jia, who was the boy who sent you back downstairs?"

"He was just an ordinary friend. We went out for a meal together, and then he sent me back."

"This guy is quite nice. He even got out of the car to say hello to us. I just wonder what his job is?"

However, Father Xu, who was standing by, suddenly realized that he seemed familiar. "No! Jiajia, why does this person look familiar to me? Who is he?"

Xu Jiajia was naturally a little flustered at this time and explained, "Dad, you must have seen it wrong. You and he have never had any intersection."

However, Xu Jiajia's father was very confident in his eyesight. "No! Your grandfather trained my eyesight himself. I must have seen this person somewhere."

"Hmph! So annoying! I won't pay any attention to you." Then Xu Jiajia complained with a resentful look on her face, and then quickly turned around and went back to her room.

With a "bang", the door was closed by Xu Jiajia.

At this time, both Mr. and Mrs. Xu were naturally in a mess, but Mr. Xu's sense of déjà vu became even stronger. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he ran straight to his study.

Father Xu was seen rummaging through the pile of newspapers and periodicals beside the study. This behavior also made Mother Xu, who had followed him, puzzled. "Old Xu, what are you looking for?"

"..." Father Xu, who had been searching, ignored his wife.

Soon, Father Xu found a copy of the Shenmin Evening News. "Haha, I found it."

"what?"

"Honey, look! Is that the guy in the newspaper the same one as before?"

"Ah? Shanghai's richest man, Suning? He does look a bit like him."

"Huh! What do you mean by somewhat similar? It's this businessman named Suning. My eyesight was honed from target practice back then. There's absolutely no way I could be wrong."

"Oh! Why did our silly daughter choose a businessman?"

"Don't worry! Go to her room and ask her what's going on."

"That's fine! Maybe they're just ordinary friends? After all, our daughter is a sales representative in Foreign Trade Building No. 27. Maybe they really just have an ordinary relationship between a customer and a sales representative."

"That's possible! So we should figure it out first."

Then Xu's mother pushed open Xu Jiajia's door, walked straight in and closed the door with a "click". What followed was naturally a heart-to-heart talk between the old mother and her daughter.

It is not known how long the mother and daughter talked in the room, nor what they talked about specifically, but in the end, Xu's mother walked out of her daughter's room with a smile on her face.

……

The next morning, Suning kept his promise and drove to the downstairs of Xu's house. No one would have thought that such a family with a strong background would live in this very ordinary old Western-style building.

Xu Jiajia, who came downstairs, naturally suppressed her surprise and asked Su Ning, "Suning, didn't I tell you yesterday that you didn't have to pick me up?"

However, Su Ning ignored Xu Jiajia's questioning at this time. After all, Su Ning knew best that women could say one thing and mean another. "Hurry up! Otherwise you might be late. I remember that your Section Chief Jin is very strict."

As expected, Section Chief Jin's title made Xu Jiajia hesitate, "This..."

"Don't hesitate any longer! It's really troublesome to squeeze into the bus at this time."

"Okay! Then I will trouble you."

Then Xu Jiajia opened the car door and got into the passenger seat. When Suning drove away with Xu Jiajia, the curious pair appeared again at the third-floor window.

In fact, Xu Jiajia's residence was not far from No. 27 The Bund. Suning's Mercedes-Benz soon appeared downstairs of the Foreign Trade Building, which naturally attracted the curious gazes of colleagues at No. 27.

Shocked, Wang Mingzhu caught up with Xu Jiajia and asked, suddenly feeling that the world was too crazy, "Jiajia, was it Su Ning who just sent you here?"

Xu Jiajia naturally responded with a blushing heartbeat, "Yeah, it's on my way."

However, it was precisely this "on the way" that made Wang Mingzhu completely furious. She had never enjoyed this kind of "on the way" before. "What? On the way? He and I both live near Sichuan North Road, so how come I've never seen him give me a ride?"

"Huh? I don't know either."

Wang Mingzhu looked at Xu Jiajia's shy back as she fled, and naturally understood a lot of things with a meaningful look on her face. She was also very annoyed that Su Ning had set his eyes on her colleague. Wang Mingzhu quickly caught up with Xu Jiajia with a few "thumps, thumps, thumps" sound, and then looked at her with a puzzled look and asked, "Jiajia, is this Su Ning pursuing you?"

Xu Jiajia blushed and quickly denied it, "No! I really just stopped by."

"Jia Jia, don't be fooled by the fact that Su Ning is handsome, cool, and rich, but he has a lot of women around him. You don't want to compete with those women, right?"

"I……"

"Jia Jia, Suning is a scumbag, you can't be deceived by him!"

"Mingzhu, I know everything. I won't be fooled."

"Oh! This Suning is really abominable."

At this time, Xu Jiajia went straight to her workstation and sat down. As for what she was thinking, only she knew it. Wang Mingzhu on the side was destined to just worry about it.

Such a hot news immediately caused a sensation in the No. 27 Foreign Trade Building. Jinhua, the head of the No. 27 Textile Department, naturally heard about it. However, she looked at Xu Jiajia meaningfully but said nothing.

……

In the following days, Suning came to No. 27 to pick up Xu Jiajia almost every day. Even if Xu Jiajia rode her bicycle and ignored him, Suning would slowly follow her in his luxury car. So soon the news of Suning pursuing Xu Jiajia spread throughout Shanghai.

At this time, Zhang Ziming was naturally the first to learn about this matter. His first feeling was that Suning was completely overestimating its own capabilities. You know, Xu Jiajia is definitely more arrogant than those rich beauties in the world.

But after Zhang Ziming learned about Xu Jiajia's family's thoughts from the side, he was dumbfounded and stood there in a daze. The first thing he thought of was that he must stop Suning's behavior.

Zhang Ziming came to Delin Apartment again, filled with righteous indignation. When he saw Suning, he said rudely and sarcastically, "Suning, what on earth do you mean by doing this?"

However, Su Ning pretended to be confused and looked at Zhang Ziming and asked, "Mayor Zhang, why don't I understand what you are saying?"

"Humph! Don't tell me you don't know Xu Jiajia is my cousin."

"I know! When Jiajia and I get together, we'll be relatives. I hope Mayor Zhang will take good care of me then."

"Humph! You overestimate your own abilities! You're courting death by doing this."

"The orioles are singing on the island in the river. A beautiful lady is the ideal match for a gentleman. I don't feel there is anything wrong with pursuing such an outstanding girl like Xu Jiajia."

Zhang Ziming, powerless at this point, could only hope that Suning would "pull back from the brink." "Suning, you should already know Xu Jiajia's family background. Do you think a family like that would accept a businessman like you?"

"Mayor Zhang, the ideas of the scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans have long been outdated, because the times have long since changed."

"Humph! No matter how things change, the essence remains the same! Regardless of the era, people always value matching. Do you think your strength and status are truly compatible?"

Then, Su Ning suddenly sneered at Mayor Zhang and continued provocatively, "That's right! I used to think so too, but it was your relentless pursuit of me that made me understand a lot. Besides, Xu Jiajia is indeed my most ideal marriage partner, so to be honest, I really should thank you."

"You... aren't you afraid that I will destroy your Su Group?"

"Haha, if I obey you in everything, won't you try to destroy me and the Su Group?"

"How brave! Then let's see if you have the luck."

"Don't bother yourself! I've always had good luck."

"..."

At this time, Zhang Ziming had already realized that this was Suning's counterattack against him, but such behavior made Zhang Ziming feel frightened, because no one knew the strength and background of the Xu family better than him.

The reason why he can have his current status is naturally inseparable from the support of the Xu family, so Suning’s move is like Sun Wukong getting into the belly of a monster, and this behavior makes the monster unable to do anything with the cunning Sun Wukong.

Moreover, with Zhang Ziming's understanding of Suning's methods and Suning's handsome and unrestrained temperament, he thought it would be easy to deal with the inexperienced Xu Jiajia.

So after Zhang Ziming left Suning's Delin Apartment, he went straight to Xu Jiajia's house. "Uncle, aunt, I heard that Jiajia is in love."

At this time, Xu Jiajia's father said meaningfully, "Ziming, I didn't expect that you, who are usually busy with all kinds of things, can still pay attention to such a small matter."

"Huh? Uncle, please stop insulting me. I'm not that busy with all sorts of things. Besides, my sister's matter is not a small matter either."

"Well, it's just a relationship that just started. No one can tell what the specific situation is."

Seeing that his uncle and aunt both looked indifferent, Zhang Ziming naturally gritted his teeth and told them about his past with Su Ning. "Uncle, aunt, actually, Su Ning and I are old acquaintances. I feel that he is a bit unscrupulous."

"Oh? Ziming, is there any conflict between you and Suning?"

"Huh? A little bit! I was the one who did some tricks with the plasma panel back then, and we had some unpleasantness a while ago because of the Su Group headquarters building incident, so I guess he's pursuing Jia Jia just to get back at me."

"You're worrying too much! Besides, your sister isn't a love-brained person. I think she can handle her own affairs."

"This……"

"Ziming, I know you've always looked down on these businessmen, but times have long since changed. I want to remind you that you must change your way of thinking."

"Huh? Yes! Uncle, I know what to do."

"Well, you're usually very busy with your work, so I won't keep you for dinner today."

"Uncle, aunt, I'll go back first. I'll come visit you when I have time."

After Zhang Ziming left Xu Jiajia's house, Xu's father shook his head in disappointment. He then looked at Xu's mother and said with some dissatisfaction, "My dear, your nephew is really ambitious but lacks talent. His future is bleak."

"Lao Xu, Ziming is still a child. If there are things he doesn't understand, you have to teach him."

"Teach him? Forget it! I'm just an ordinary university professor. He'd better let him figure out the political affairs on his own."
