Chapter 1516 Slap
What happened next by Zhuang Xiaoting really angered Suning and Huang Ling. She even staged a plot to cheat on the household registration book in order to marry Lin Dongzhe. Is it really necessary to do this?
It feels like this setting is just for the sake of conflict. It was supposed to be a happy thing, but this outrageous operation made everyone feel unhappy.

It turned out that when Zhuang Xiaoting returned to Suzhou during the holiday, she asked her mother for her household registration book in the name of changing her household registration. Huang Ling originally wanted to go with her to handle it, but Zhuang Xiaoting insisted on going alone. She was worried that Huang Ling would find out that she and Lin Dongzhe had obtained a marriage certificate. Now they have not decided to tell their family about this.

Fortunately, the man was Lin Dongzhe, whom she knew well. If it was an unfamiliar man, it would have been a devastating thing.

You have to know that men's words can lie. As long as a more tempting woman appears, no man can easily resist, so falling in love with someone else is almost a foregone conclusion.

As expected, Huang Ling was so angry that she fell ill and was hospitalized. Pengfei had no choice but to find Suning. After all, the matter was too big and really needed to be handled by the elders.

Then Suning and Li Jia went to Suzhou together, and found that Huang Ling, who was worried and exhausted, had fallen ill. Her frail body showed that she had given too much for her children.

At this time, the only thing Su Ning could think of was that it was fate. In the original drama, she and Zhuang Chaoying were not happy, but just one of the ordinary people.

Zhuang Xiaoting looked at Su Ning in front of her and apologized timidly, not realizing that she was apologizing to Huang Ling. "Dad, I'm sorry! I didn't want to do this, but I was worried that my mother would disagree."

With a "slap", Suning slapped Zhuang Xiaoting hard in the face, which stunned everyone in the ward.

Su Ning looked at this cheap girl with disappointment on his face, and at the same time, he exposed Zhuang Xiaoting's inner thoughts, "Zhuang Xiaoting, you have never thought about your mother's feelings, so don't mention your mother here, because you don't deserve it."

Zhuang Xiaoting, covering half of her face, burst into tears and began to whine. "Wuwuwu... Dad, if I'm not worthy, then what about you? What have you contributed to this family? Isn't all this caused by your debauchery?"

"Zhuang Xiaoting, your life belongs to you. Don't put the blame on us as your parents if you make a mistake. What happened between your mother and me has nothing to do with you, and you are not qualified to use our affairs as an excuse."

"I……"

At this time, Lin Dongzhe hurried forward to apologize, once again realizing that their behavior was too reckless. "Uncle Zhuang, I'm sorry! This matter is my fault. I was inconsiderate."

Su Ning then looked at Lin Dongzhe in front of him and questioned his soul. He felt that their behavior and thoughts were really too naive. "Lin Dongzhe, when you were little, I found you quite cute. Plus, you've always been relatively lucky. But I never thought you would be so foolish now. Can marriage really be a constraint for the two of you?"

"Uncle Zhuang, I..." Lin Dongzhe's face turned pale after he figured it out.

"Lin Dongzhe, because of the special relationship between our two families, I know you inside and out, and I have a pretty good relationship with your parents. I've always supported your relationship, but you absolutely shouldn't have gotten a marriage certificate behind our backs. Do you really think marriage is such a joke?"

"Uncle Zhuang, I was wrong! I really regret it now. Please don't blame Xiaoting."

"Alright! Stop trying to act affectionate here. Your behavior is really too clumsy."

"..."

Finally, Suning warned Lin Dongzhe and Zhuang Xiaoting, "Since you are adults now, you will be responsible for yourselves from now on. Don't come back and blame us if anything goes wrong."

"Don't worry! You don't need to worry about our own affairs." However, Zhuang Xiaoting, whose face was half swollen, responded unconvinced.

"Alright! Be tough! I want to see how long you can be tough."

At this point, Suning and Huang Ling can only accept it and see how things develop next. After all, it is unlikely that they can interfere.

Zhuang Xiaoting is not a kitten or a puppy who can be put in a cage and that's it. They won't repent unless they get hurt.

Then Su Ning looked at Huang Ling lying on the hospital bed and said, "A grown-up child is no longer under the control of his mother! Huang Ling, you should be more open-minded. If they don't experience some things firsthand, they will always be naive."

"Is that it?" Huang Ling lying on the hospital bed still couldn't accept it, and was still hoping that Suning could stop their irrational behavior.

"What else can we do? Let them go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce? Blame it on the Zhuang family's bad genes for giving birth to such useless children."

"..." At this time, Zhuang Xiaoting and Zhuang Tunan both turned pale. They didn't expect that they, the brother and sister, would be so unbearable in the eyes of their father.

Then Su Ning looked at Huang Ling lying on the hospital bed and said, "Huang Ling, you should think positively. After all, we know the Lin family's situation inside and out. Lin Wufeng and Song Ying wouldn't bully Zhuang Xiaoting. This matter is mainly because Zhuang Xiaoting's behavior is too disgusting."

"Alright! This is the only way now."

Suning's words were undoubtedly very heavy. Zhuang Tunan and Zhuang Xiaoting on the side both had ugly expressions, and their behavior seemed to have always been very stupid. It was obviously a good thing, but they turned it into a farce.

"Zhuang Tunan, Zhuang Xiaoting, since you are so tough, I will not ask about your affairs in the future. Let me see how capable you are."

"..."

Then Suning and Li Jia left the hospital. Originally, the matter was not that serious, but Zhuang Xiaoting's way of handling it was disgusting.

If she had come back and explained things to Huang Ling in a friendly way, Huang Ling wouldn't have been so angry. Similarly, marriage cannot absolutely bind both parties.

Li Jia, who was leaving in the car, looked at Su Ning complainingly and said, "Brother, you really shouldn't have slapped Xiao Ting just now."

"Hmph! I get so angry when I see her unconvinced face. She and Lin Dongzhe will definitely live apart from now on. Can marriage really restrain Lin Dongzhe?" However, Su Ning asked back disapprovingly.

"This..." Li Jia naturally understood this logic, and had no good words to say for a moment.

"The outside world is naturally a glamorous world. If they are truly in love, they should withstand the test of reality instead of escaping and being self-righteous."

"They are still young and their minds are not sound, so it is inevitable that they will make mistakes."

"Next, our 'Research Center' will build a 'Hongmeng' car production base in Suzhou. The production capacity in Qinchuan and Deyang will gradually be transferred to Suzhou. Please contact Zhuang Xiaoting and Lin Dongzhe and have them work in the Suzhou car production base."

"Brother, why didn't you say anything just now?" "Aren't they just asking you to play the good guy? This kind of favor is more suitable for you, after all, you feel a little awkward when you get along with them."

"Brother, thank you." At this time, Li Jia looked at Suning in front of him with a touching face.

In fact, Suning is aware that the root of these messes lies with himself. "I should be the one thanking you! After all, these things are the mess I left behind."

"Brother, we are all family. Your business is my business."

……

Soon Song Ying and Lin Wufeng also learned that Lin Dongzhe had obtained the marriage certificate. They were also very angry. Lin Wufeng knew that Song Ying would beat Lin Dongzhe, so he quickly handed over the rolling pin.

However, seeing that the child had grown up, Song Ying finally couldn't bring herself to do it.

In the end, Lin Wufeng took leave and returned to Suzhou with Song Ying. After all, they needed to apologize to Huang Ling in person. They knew best what Huang Ling had done for her children over the years.

Song Ying and Lin Wufeng both looked at Huang Ling with sincerity and apologized, "Sister Ling, I'm so sorry! It's all our Lin Dongzhe's fault for not being considerate."

"Don't blame him! If you want to blame someone, blame me for spoiling Xiaoting too much, otherwise she wouldn't be so stupid." However, Huang Ling knew that the one who was wrong was their Zhuang Xiaoting.

Then Song Ying casually revealed the real purpose of their trip, "Sister Ling, since things have come to this, should we consider holding a wedding for them later?"

"Forget it! They're all grown up now, they can just figure it out on their own."

"Hey! This was supposed to be a happy occasion, how did the child ruin it?"

"Wu Feng, Song Ying, the relationship between our two families is clear, so I won't say anything empty. Now that Lin Dongzhe and Zhuang Xiaoting are separated, it's not a good thing. We should arrange for them to live together as soon as possible."

"Sister Ling, you're right! When we get back, we'll have Dongzhe resign from Baojie Company and have him come back to Suzhou or Shanghai to work."

"Donzhe doesn't necessarily have to resign! Xiaoting can also go to Guangzhou with us. Although it may not be easy to find a job, she will always find one. Also, Li Jia contacted me a few days ago and said that a Hongmeng car production base will be built in Suzhou. Xiaoting and Dongzhe can be arranged to work there. We can also hire Lin Wufeng to work at the home appliance production base in Suzhou. In this way, all problems will be solved."

Song Ying and Lin Wufeng looked at each other in surprise and asked, "Li Jia? Zhuang Chaoying's little wife?"

"Yes! I feel that these things should have been arranged by Zhuang Chaoying, just to let Li Jia get this favor." At this time, Huang Ling expressed her own guess.

Song Ying and Lin Wufeng both realized that Su Ning's purpose was to help Li Jia ease her relationship with her family. "So it seems that Zhuang Chaoying is quite attentive to Li Jia?"

"Young, beautiful, intelligent and generous, Zhuang Chaoying will definitely treasure her."

Lin Wufeng quickly made his choice, feeling that the opportunity to return to Suzhou would be a good one. "Sister Ling, that's the arrangement. The home appliance company in Suzhou called 'Big Butler' is quite famous. I heard that their products are sold to foreign markets like Europe, America, Japan, and South Korea. It would be great if I could get a job there."

"That's good! Pengfei bought me a set of "Big Housekeeper" home appliances last year. I have been using them for a long time and I feel they are really good. The salary and benefits should satisfy you." Huang Ling was relieved to see Lin Wufeng accepted such an arrangement.

"That's fine! Song Ying and I will go back to Guangzhou to handle the matter, and we will also let Lin Dongzhe contact Hongmeng Auto first."

"Okay! This is all for the children. I just hope they can avoid taking detours."

"Sister Ling is right."

Then Lin Wufeng and Song Ying returned to Guangzhou and told Lin Dongzhe. Lin Dongzhe was naturally willing to go to Suzhou to work, but Zhuang Xiaoting was still brooding over the slap.

So at first Zhuang Xiaoting flatly refused and continued to try to find a job in Guangzhou. It was not until she encountered setbacks everywhere that she calmed down a lot.

Then Li Jia personally found her troublesome stepdaughter Zhuang Xiaoting. After a heart-to-heart talk, Zhuang Xiaoting finally let go of her ridiculous self-esteem.

Then Zhuang Xiaoting suddenly looked at Li Jia with a strange expression and asked, "Li Jia, I have a question in my mind that I want to ask you. Can you answer me truthfully?"

"You say." Li Jia guessed the other party's question as soon as he thought about it.

As expected, Zhuang Xiaoting finally asked the question that troubled many people, "Were you and my brother Zhuang Tunan lovers back then?"

"Huh? Xiaoting, why do you have such an idea?"

"Back then, when Lin Dongzhe and Pengfei went to Shanghai to visit my brother, you were the one who met them at the station. You and my brother also went to Pingyao Ancient City together. I even saw a photo of you two in my brother's book. Seeing how much my brother valued that photo, I knew your relationship was definitely something special."

"First of all, the reason why Zhuang Tunan and I went to the station to pick up Lin Dongzhe and Xiang Pengfei was mainly because I received a call from your family. I was also worried that the station would be crowded and there might be trouble, so I went to help pick up Lin Dongzhe and Xiang Pengfei. As for going to Pingyao Ancient City to protect ancient buildings, it was an outdoor course for our Department of Architecture, and we went with volunteers from our entire department. Zhuang Tunan and I weren't the only ones in that photo, so your speculation is groundless."

"Is that really all there is to it?"

"Xiaoting, I started working at the Center for the Study of the Mysteries of the Universe in 1983. Back then, the center was still in its infancy. My main job was to help your father organize documents and materials. So, our relationship really just grew over time. It's not as complicated as you imagine. Your father isn't Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Li Longji, your brother isn't Prince Shou, Li Yan, and I'm definitely not the stunningly beautiful Yang Yuhuan."

After hearing the explanation, Zhuang Xiaoting felt a little embarrassed. "Huh? Li Jia, I'm sorry! Maybe I really am overthinking it."

"Misunderstandings are not important! Just clarify the misunderstandings. Explaining things clearly is not only a respect for others, but also a respect for yourself."

"Li Jia, thank you! It seems my father chose you for a reason."
