For ten seconds, Shen Liangsi looked at Zhou Yuting who was surrounded by a group of people entering the security check, feeling nothing but regret.

After Zhou Yuting left, Shen Liangsi's life didn't seem to have changed much, but he had more thoughts.

The new stores have all opened smoothly, and they are even more popular than Shen Liangsi imagined. Although the stores are not too big, but because of the good publicity in the early stage, many young men and women came to support the opening, and Shen Liangsi began to become very busy. There is no time to think about it any more.

Until a middle-aged man walked into Shen Liangsi's cafe and bookstore, the life that had just entered the track was broken again.

"I want to talk to you."

Shen Liangsi looked at the very familiar man in front of him, he didn't dare to recognize him, his face was full of astonishment, "Xu...mayor?"

Mayor Xu nodded slightly, "Did I disturb your work?"

Shen Liangsi shook his head in a panic, "No, no."

"Then shall we talk here or go out?"

Shen Liangsi looked around, his employees were looking at him in unison, and replied: "Let's go out."

"it is good."

Shen Liangsi led the way and brought Mayor Xu to a leisure bar with a good environment. After asking about the taste, he dared not neglect to order two cups of the most expensive drinks, and then carefully sat back in front of Mayor Xu.

He asked nervously, "Are you coming today?"

"I want to talk to you about the issues between you and Che'er."

"We...we are serious..."

"Listen to me first." Mayor Xu interrupted Shen Liangsi and said slowly: "I have talked to him many times, and Che'er's attitude has always been very tough. I had another long talk with him yesterday, but unfortunately I still couldn't." Persuade him, so I don't want to ruin the good father-son relationship I have always maintained with Che'er because of you."

"I'm sorry because I made it difficult for you."

"Hey..." Mayor Xu sighed deeply, "I have nothing to do with Che'er, so I agree with you guys being together."

"Ah?!" Mayor Xu's answer really surprised Shen Liangsi, and he stuttered a little, "You...you...you really promised to let us be together..."

"Yes, but I have a condition, you must promise me."

"What condition!" Shen Liangsi was overjoyed, "I will agree to whatever condition you say."

"Don't be so happy, my condition is that you two go abroad as soon as possible, you must go abroad."

"..." Shen Liangsi froze for a moment, and murmured, "Going abroad?"

"Why, is it difficult to accept? The relationship between you two is difficult to be accepted here. The tolerance of this matter in China is far less than that in foreign countries, not to mention my identity, you should understand."

"But I just opened a few stores!"

"What? Is the happiness of you and Che'er less important than those few small coffee shops?"

"No, no, it's just..."

"It's nothing but!" Mayor Xu interrupted Shen Liangsi forcefully, "I can tell you clearly, Che'er's career has never been in China, he came back this time just because I want to reunite with my family for a few days, let Che'er stay with me Stay with his mother for a while longer, he should have left a long time ago, he is only delaying his future by staying, compared with his future, what are these few stores of yours? Besides, when you go out with Che'er country, you are equivalent to living a life without worrying about food and clothing, hum, why lose the big because of the small!"

"Mayor Xu... I have never been greedy for Xu Che's status and money. I don't want to go abroad but I don't want to be his accessory. I don't want to be someone who can do nothing but rely on him in your eyes."

"Oh?" Mayor Xu looked at Shen Liangsi coldly, guessing how true his words were, and speaking from his heart, he now agrees that the man in front of him is with his son, after several nights of sleepless deliberation. the greatest concession.He never thought about the benefits that his son would bring to his political career in the future through the marriage. He only hoped that his future daughter-in-law would have a clean fortune and be as clean as Che'er.Who would have thought... In that case, he would not persuade his son to go back. Anyway, their family doesn't need this man to make any contribution, just stay by Che'er's side and make him happy.

But looking at it now, this unremarkable man in front of him still has a lot of backbone, which he appreciates a bit, if he agrees too quickly, it will make him feel awkward.It seems that the man my son likes can't be too bad.

Unfortunately, they have to go abroad.

"Let's do this!" Mayor Xu took another step back, "You go abroad first, and your store is temporarily closed. When you are stable there, I will ask Che'er to invest a sum of money in you. You can do whatever you want. Can."

"I..." Shen Liangsi wanted to explain something more, but gave up, "I'll go back and discuss it with Xu Che."

Shen Liangsi knew that Mayor Xu was tough, and he took the initiative to come to him today because Mayor Xu put down his airs and communicated as a father, and agreeing to their going abroad was already his bottom line. If he continued to touch this bottom line, Then he and Xu Che would be completely finished.

"Okay, go back and discuss with Che'er when to leave, and then tell me, I'll take my leave first."

"Oh well."

After bidding farewell to Mayor Xu, Shen Liangsi was a little emotional. He was happy because he was approved by Xu Che's family, and he could be with Xu Che in the future. On the other hand, if he wanted to get this feeling, he had to give up. All of myself here.

And his relationship with Xu Che will also get the final answer because of his own decision.

This is completely different from the last time Xu Che proposed to go abroad and he vetoed it.He could reject Xu Che, but he could never reject Mayor Xu.

What's more, after hearing Mayor Xu's remarks today, he also realized that Xu Che was sacrificing his career by staying by his side.

How could he make Xu Che give up so much for himself.

But do you really want to go abroad?He has worked hard for so long, so many people have helped him, he has accepted so much, and he has not paid back!

But if he doesn't leave, what will Xu Che do, he has been by his side unconditionally and compromised for so long... If he gives up now, let alone Xu Che, he will hate himself.

Also, he couldn't bear it either!

But what to do!

Just as Shen Liangsi was dragging his chin and frowning, Xu Che came to the coffee shop with a relaxed footsteps.

Seeing Shen Liangsi's appearance, Xu Che joked, "With a sad face, why is business not good today?"

Shen Liangsi was startled and stood up, it turned out that this human being who troubled him came uninvited, and he forced a smile, "It's good."

"Then why are you unhappy?"

"I'm not unhappy!"

"It's all written on my face and you lied to me." Xu Che sighed, "Is it because of my dad?"

"Ah? Do you know that Mayor Xu came to see me today?"

"Of course I know." Xu Che shrugged helplessly, "Yesterday my dad talked with me all night. I wanted to take you to our house today, but my dad said he wanted to talk to you alone. Why, he made things difficult for you gone?"

"No, no." Shen Liangsi shook his head repeatedly, "Mayor Xu is very polite."

"Don't always call Mayor Xu, mayor Xu, call me Uncle Xu from now on, and call me Dad from now on!"

"…………"

Xu Che is currently immersed in the joy of his parents agreeing to bring a beautiful boy home, he patted Shen Liangsi on the shoulder, "My dad told you, he agrees to us being together, right?"

"Yes!"

"Then you should be happy! Why don't you want to be with me?" Xu Che said jokingly, "It took me a lot of effort to make sense of my father. If you don't want me If so, then I will die of pity."

"Why would I not want you, nonsense."

"That's it. Let's go. Get off work early today. I'll take you to eat delicious food. Let's celebrate."

"……All right."

Seeing that Xu Che was so happy, Shen Liangsi didn't want to be disappointed. He thought that he should be happy today and discuss the issue of going abroad tomorrow.Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the restaurant and sat down, Xu Che spoke first.

"You are not happy today, is it because my dad suggested that we go abroad?"

"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you."

"It's not that I can't hide it from me, it's that we only had this problem before. Tang Yifei, Xiao Yi, and Zhou Yuting, who you missed before, either have a home or have gone abroad. Now there is no obstruction between us except these few stores. "Xu Che pouted, thinking about it, he was actually a little proud. He was surrounded by so many rivals in love, but suddenly they all disappeared with a plop, and they all retreated on their own initiative. He won without much effort.So Xu Che felt that these few shops were the only ones standing in his way to get married abroad with Shen Liangsi. He could give Zhou Yuting the investment money, and he could repay the favors he owed through business dealings. ,These are just minor obstacles.

"You forgot, I still have my mother and my brother."

"..." He really forgot about this, Xu Che suggested, "We can take Auntie with us, and when your brother comes out, I will take him abroad as well."

"My mother may not have much time..." Although his mother has received good medical treatment now, Shen Liangsi knew in his heart that what supported his mother's life was not those expensive medicines but the desire to look forward to her son's return. "Last time when you proposed to go abroad, I tried it out. I planned to take her abroad to seek medical treatment, but she strongly rejected it. She said that she was afraid of dying abroad. She would not even see her son for the last time, and she would not even talk to her. The son is on one side of the land. Now she only has me, I can't abandon him..."

"Then I'll accompany you to discuss with your aunt, and I will find the best doctor for her, not..."

"Xu Che, I actually think so." Shen Liangsi took a deep breath, and slowly expressed his thoughts after careful consideration, "My brother has been doing very well, and he should come out in less than two years. I will stay here for another two years, manage the store well, return Zhou Yuting's shares, and then hand over the store to my brother. My brother has been smarter and more diligent than me since he was a child. Take good care of your mother, can I go abroad with you again then?"

"You mean two years from now?"

"Less than two years..." Shen Liangsi felt a little guilty.

"But how do I explain to my father?" Xu Che smiled awkwardly, "I promise my father will take you away immediately, he will never allow us to continue to communicate in China, two years... Father has already made the biggest concession , I have no room to discuss with him!"
