Chapter 11 I'm not that kind of woman.
The middle-aged man sitting in the main seat in the private room was Yao Zhan, the president of the Yuanshan County Court.
This person is a former military officer, and has a fairly good reputation in Yuanshan County.
He is usually low-key and rarely appears in public.
He has a high nose bridge, a square face, and a serious demeanor, which can be intimidating.
Tonight, he only came to have this late-night snack because Prince Zhou Dongliang invited him several times.
Zhou Dongliang ordered his men to drive all the cars to Yao Zhan's building and wait for him. If Yao Zhan didn't come soon, he would offend someone.
He glanced at his watch, then politely turned his head and replied, "Dongliang, it's already eleven o'clock, it's getting late."
I have a meeting tomorrow morning, so I can't be late. I need to go back and rest.
"You young people go and have fun, I'll take my leave now."
A hint of displeasure flashed across Zhou Dongliang's face, but he immediately stood up and said with a forced smile, "Alright, Uncle Yao, I'll see you off."
"No need," Yao Zhan raised his hand to stop him. "Give my regards to your father."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Zhan picked up his bag and quickly left the private room.
When asked to come over tonight, Zhou Dongliang made an excuse that he needed to consult on some legal matters, and Zhou Dongliang felt obliged to come.
Once we arrived, Xie Liting kept talking, complaining about how her ex-husband Chen Dawei was so unethical.
In reality, they were afraid that Chen Dawei would sue them to get back the betrothal gifts and the debts owed.
Yao Zhan quickly understood that Zhou Dongliang wanted to give him a heads-up, hoping that if Chen Dawei really went to court to sue, Yao Zhan could stop him and not accept the case.
Yao Zhan could not give a clear guarantee, and only said: "The country has its own laws."
Legally speaking, Ms. Xie should indeed return the money to the rightful owner in her situation.
However, there is also human compassion beyond the law.
If Comrade Chen Dawei really intends to file a lawsuit, I will first attempt mediation and strive to resolve the matter through negotiation.
If possible, avoid holding a court hearing.
This is good for both Miss Xie and Comrade Dawei.
After all, both of you work within the system; you're respectable people.
Yao Zhan made some ambiguous statements to gloss over the matter, but Zhou Dongliang took it as a statement and kept thanking him.
The Xie siblings also used tea instead of wine to say nice things, in different ways.
This left Yao Zhan speechless.
But he had no choice but to force himself to finish the late-night snack.
After all, Zhou Dongliang is the only son of Zhou Xiangzhang, the county party secretary.
Although the court's finances are not under the county's control, and the county party secretary has no right to interfere in the court's business, Yao Zhan could have ignored them.
But society is a circle.
The county town is an impenetrable circle.
Even if Yao Zhan himself can stay out of it and choose to remain aloof, what about his family?
The people around him were all confined to the county town and couldn't get out, so Yao Zhan had to give Zhou Dongliang some face.
After leaving the hotel, Yao Zhan shook his head helplessly at the sight of Zhou Dongliang's A6 parked in front of the hotel, got in his car, and went home.
Inside a private room at the Guohao Hotel.
Zhou Dongliang ordered a few more dim sum dishes and asked the waiter to replace them with a pot of Tieguanyin tea.
The group continued to enjoy their evening tea in the private room.
This was the first time Xie Xiaojun had seen Dean Yao up close. He didn't know what Yao Zhan was thinking, but he felt that Zhou Dongliang was truly capable.
"Brother Dong, it has to be you again."
Zhou Dongliang was very pleased with himself and was increasingly satisfied with his brother-in-law, who knew how to flatter him and always gave him face in front of Xie Liting.
"That's nothing."
Xie Liting picked up a piece of tripe and placed it in Zhou Dongliang's bowl, saying, "Thank you, Dongliang."
Zhou Dongliang flicked his green Submariner watch, picked up some tripe and started eating: "Now you can relax, right? I told you, the court is all our people, what's there to be afraid of?"
Xie Liting was, after all, a regular college student, and her cultural literacy was superior to Zhou Dongliang's. Hearing these vulgar words, she felt a physical disgust.
However, compared to Zhou Dongliang's background, these are nothing.
As long as it helps her become the station director, she doesn't care how foul-mouthed Zhou Dongliang is.
"Don't worry, with you here, I'm not afraid of anything," Xie Liting said again, trying to sound confident.
With such praise, Zhou Dongliang was practically smug.
At the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Dawei said he would sue Xie Liting and Xie Xiaojun, demanding that they return the 11 yuan dowry and outstanding debts.
At the time, Xie Liting was only focused on being angry, but after she calmed down, she became a little worried.
She was an educated person and had basic common sense; she knew that if Dawei really filed a lawsuit, her chances of winning were slim.
She confided her concerns to Zhou Dongliang.
Zhou Dongliang patted his chest and assured everyone that he would take care of it, which led to the scene where Dean Yao came over for a late-night snack.
Seeing that the head of the Yuanshan County Court had come in person, the Xie siblings finally felt relieved.
Zhou Dongliang glanced at his watch, then gave his brother-in-law a playful look.
Xie Xiaojun immediately understood.
"Sis, it's getting late, I'm going home now. Your sister-in-law will be calling to urge you soon."
Xie Xiaojun got up to leave, and when he walked behind Zhou Dongliang, he put his hand on his shoulder and whispered, "Brother Dong, I'm leaving my sister in your care. Could you please take her home later?"
"understood."
Zhou Dongliang smiled, his mind already conjuring up images of the wonderful time he would have alone with his friend later.
He had long been lusting after Xie Liting's body.
A large C-cup bust, delicate features, long, stunning legs, and an S-shaped figure...
Appearance is one aspect; you can find such good-looking models by spending some money to hire print models who have gone into the adult entertainment industry.
It's mainly that kind of temperament.
She is different.
This is really bad.
Zhou Dongliang's heart pounded. He picked up his teacup, took a sip, and tactically drank water.
Xie Liting, who was on the side, had already figured out his thoughts.
She took off her high-heeled sandals, hooked them with her toes, and dangled her feet under the table.
Zhou Dongliang kept glancing at the view under the table out of the corner of his eye, swallowing hard.
"Ting, Tingting... I've booked a presidential suite here. Let's not go back to the TV station's dormitory tonight. It's much better to stay here."
Xie Liting put down her chopsticks, lowered her crossed legs, and her expression turned serious.
"Ah Dong, didn't we agree that we can't sleep together before we get married?"
You should respect me.
I'm not that kind of woman.
Zhou Dongliang quickly retorted, "You've misunderstood. It's a suite. We each have our own room. I just want to spend more time with you, even if it's just watching you sleep from afar. Don't worry, I absolutely won't touch you."
"Ah Dong, I'm not a naive little girl anymore. You can save those words for fooling little girls."
Xie Liting pretended to be angry, got up, grabbed her bag, and was about to leave.
Zhou Dongliang stopped her, asking anxiously, "Where are you going?"
"I'm going back to my dorm. You can stay here by yourself. You can still have a second round. There are plenty of pretty women upstairs."
"I won't go to places like that. You're the only one in my heart. I'll take you there."
Zhou Dongliang took her bag, escorted Xie Liting downstairs, and jogged to open the passenger door, inviting Xie Liting to get in.
Xie Liting sighed slightly, pretended to hesitate for a few seconds, and then got into the car.
The car stopped at an old residential area with stairs behind the county TV station.
Xie Liting slowly unbuckled her seatbelt and suddenly kissed Zhou Dongliang on the cheek.
Zhou Dongliang's heart suddenly jumped, and he didn't dare to breathe.
This was the first time Xie Liting had taken the initiative to kiss him like this; it was truly a historic moment.
He slowly turned his head, his eyes red with emotion: "Ting, Tingting..."
He pounced on her and started kissing Xie Liting.
Xie Liting closed her eyes, endured it, and cooperated, her red lips slightly parted.
