Chapter 253: Strategy for the Diplomat Pursuing Perfection 17

Every month after that, Chengcheng would come and meet Peng Lidong whenever she had time. Their relationship became increasingly close and they became close friends.

No matter what happens abroad, the first people to know about it are Peng's father and Chengcheng.

But what followed was a stagnation in the mission.

The relationship is close, but it is still far from being that of lovers.

Two years passed like this, and Chengcheng turned 20. Shen's mother began to worry and wanted to find a partner for her.

Chengcheng also felt that the time was right, so he told Peng Lidong about it.

After learning that her family was going to arrange a blind date for her, he could no longer sit still. He knew that if he didn't take action, he might really have no chance.

In fact, he had already had some signs of this a year ago, but he didn't say it out loud because he was afraid of rejection.

It was not until this incident happened that he realized the urgency of the matter and began to make preparations in a hurry.

On the Chinese Valentine's Day, he asked Chengcheng to go on a boat trip on the Thames and took the opportunity to confess his love.

Chengcheng had anticipated that he would take action, so she deliberately put on some lipstick when she dressed up.

This confession was also seen by foreigners who were sitting, fishing, sightseeing, or passing by on both sides of the strait, and there was an endless stream of well-intentioned and enthusiastic cheers.

Peng Lidong, one of the protagonists, blushed completely. Seeing his embarrassing look made Cheng Cheng very amused.

The relationship between the two people has undergone tremendous changes, but it has also made them closer and become each other's inseparable partners.

Of course, the first person to know about the change in their relationship was Peng's father.

For him, this was something he welcomed. After two years of getting along with each other, he could see that Chengcheng was a good kid.

Next time I go to their house, the child won't get hurt as long as he's there.

Peng's father called Peng's mother's workplace in China and told her about this matter. However, Peng's mother was not happy at all when she learned about this.

As early as last year, her daughter told her that she discovered that Jiang Lan, who grew up with her son, actually had a crush on her son.

She also asked Jiang Lan about this privately, and got her shy nod. At that moment, she understood the girl's intention.

When her son came back, she tried to bring them together, but seeing that her son was really not understanding, she thought about explaining the matter to him two years later.

Who would have thought that less than two years later, his son would be taken away by someone else.

This incident made her feel so ashamed that she couldn't face anyone. Because she regarded Jiang Lan as her daughter-in-law, she got along very well with her parents and their families.

The old man has been working abroad in recent years, and her work in China is more often tied to the Jiang family.

Both families regarded this matter as tacit agreement and waited for Jiang Lan to finish college and go abroad to find her eldest son.

Now that the eldest son has a girlfriend, the Jiang family’s plan is over.

It has to be said now even if you don't want to. Only by saying it out loud can the interests of the two families be untied more quickly.

This might be something Jiang Lan could not accept for a while, but she had no choice since her eldest son already had a partner and had the old man's approval. She had no choice but to make the choice and she could only feel sorry for Jiang Lan.

……

One day, Peng's mother asked Jiang Lan to come home.

After lunch, he sent his daughter away and told Jiang Lan about the matter.

"Lan'er, I know you've always liked Lidong, and I've always wanted to bring you two together. But now something unexpected has happened. Your brother Lidong has found a partner abroad, and your uncle has already agreed to their relationship, so it's not easy for your aunt to object. Your aunt hasn't told him that you like Lidong, so he doesn't know."

"If you give up your love now, no one except your aunt will know about this. It won't hinder you from getting married in the future."

When Jiang Lan heard this, her face turned pale and her body swayed and fell to the ground. She looked at Peng's mother and tears welled up in her eyes and fell down in big drops, silently accusing her of breaking her promise.

I clearly agreed to tell Brother Lidong, but I still didn’t say it.

If she told him, Brother Lidong would definitely agree to be with her!

At this time, Jiang Lan still didn't understand that Peng Lidong's feelings for her were only those of a brother and sister. The agreement she wanted was just a response when they were having fun and had no choice but to agree to something. How could it be compared with a lifelong event?

"Aunt Peng, did Brother Lidong say this himself? Does he really have a partner? Could it be that you don't agree with me and don't want Brother Lidong to know that I like him, so you deliberately lied to me?! I want to call Brother Lidong in person to ask clearly."

"Jiang Lan! Calm down, kid. I received the call this morning, and your uncle told me personally. I was shocked, but it is the fact. Even though we still don't accept it, we have to face it. You are still very young, and you shouldn't only have Lidong in your eyes. Lan'er, go out and see that there are many young men out there. Listen to your aunt's advice and find someone you like."

"No, no! I only like Brother Lidong. Aunt, please give me uncle's phone number. I want to call and ask in person. Please." Jiang Lan looked at Peng's mother with the most helpless and fragile expression. She knew that she was soft-hearted. As long as she begged sincerely, she would definitely get Brother Lidong's phone number.

Peng's mother said earnestly, "Jiang Lan! Please stop making a fuss, okay? Even if you call Lidong, what will happen? You can't change the fact that they are together. And hearing his rejection in person will only make you more sad, and that's what your aunt doesn't want to see. I won't give you the phone number. Jiang Lan, you're giving up now for your own good."

"I won't give up. Brother Lidong is the person I have liked since I was a child. I have liked him for more than ten years. I have been dreaming about him day and night. Aunt, I can't let him go. Okay, you won't call me, right?! I will find someone else!"

Looking at Jiang Lan's resolute back, Peng's mother couldn't help but chase after her.

In order to prevent the neighbors from hearing this, Peng's mother had to lower her voice and shout quietly, "Come back, Jiang Lan, come back!"

Seeing that she couldn't stop her from leaving, Peng's mother slapped her thigh in frustration.

Oh no, what should I do if this girl asks for someone else's phone number?

In the end, the two families never had any contact with each other again.

Peng came into the house and shouted upstairs, "Yalan, Mom is going out for a while."

"Mom, where are you going?!"

"Mom has something important to do, so just lock the door at home."

"Why lock the door? Where's Sister Xiaolan? Is she gone?"

"Let's go, let's go early. Don't worry about it, just lock the door and stay at home."

"Hey."

When Peng's mother heard the response, she felt relieved and rode away from home on her bike.

I took a shortcut and arrived at the office earlier.
