Suppressing the Protagonist in the Start to Seize the Heroine

Chapter 70: Exposing Weakness and Striking Back Hard!

Due to Lin Guoqiangs rare appearances in the media, few people in the classroom recognized him.

Those who did recognize him doubted themselves such a high-ranking mayor wouldnt have time to attend a parent-teacher meeting for his child.

Although he was surrounded by many people when he came in, most assumed these were parents consulting Teacher Wang Yi about their childrens progress.

Lin Guoqiang was pleased that no one in the classroom recognized him. It would have been troublesome if they had everyone would want to greet and chat with him, disrupting the meeting.

Su Lin was somewhat speechless. Ever since sitting down, Lin Guoqiang had been glaring at him, as if his gaze could kill. Su Lin wondered why a mayor would resort to such tactics. Wasnt it boring?

Just as Su Lin was about to speak, Lin Guoqiang finally said, Young man, are you the son of Su Zhenguo?

Su Lin nodded: Uncle Lin, we had dinner together last year.

Hmm~! Xiaowan has been mentioning you a lot lately.

Uh What did Xiaowan say about me?

When Su Lin called her Xiaowan, Lin Guoqiangs eyes narrowed: She said youre compassionate, excel in academics, capable, strong, creative, and have a broad perspective!!!

Lin Guoqiang listed all the praises Lin Xiaowan had for Su Lin as if it was nothing. Su Lin realized that Lin Guoqiang was making fun of him. How could anyone be so perfect? By saying this, Lin Guoqiang was trying to embarrass him.

Uncle~! Did Xiaowan really say that about me? Su Lin feigned an innocent look, appearing quite elated.

Lin Guoqiang:

Was the boy missing the point? A full-score student couldnt understand what he meant? Impossible. Su Lin was playing dumb.

Young man, drop the act. Playing dumb? I stopped doing that when I was eighteen. Only kids play dumb, Lin Guoqiang scoffed.

Su Lin smiled: Uncle Lin, arent you also playing games with me? Praising me so much, are you complimenting or mocking?

And I am a child. Im only eighteen, and you, a forty-year-old, are mocking someone.

Hmph, if it werent for Xiaowan, I wouldnt bother mocking you. Tell me honestly, do you have dishonorable intentions towards my daughter? Lin Guoqiang glared at Su Lin menacingly.

Uncle~!! Isnt dishonorable a bit inappropriate? Xiaowan is beautiful, has a great personality, talented, gentle, and generous. Its only natural for me to like her.

Uncle~!! You cant take away my right to like someone.

Good boy, so thick-skinned. Youre so young, how do you know what liking someone means? And when did I take away your right to like someone?

Others like her because they admire and appreciate beauty. What about you?

Facing Lin Guoqiangs questioning gaze, Su Lin was unafraid: Of course, I admire her too. How could I like Xiaowan otherwise? But Im different from others.

They didnt take action because they knew they werent worthy of Xiaowan. I think Im quite compatible with her.

Shameless!

Uncle~! Youre acting like a child right now. How did you become a mayor?

Lin Guoqiang ignored Su Lins question: Young man, Im telling you, its fine to be friends with Xiaowan, but pursuing her is not allowed. Xiaowans future isnt in Zhongjiang.

She wont marry you. She will work in the government in the future, and her mother and I will help her find a suitable partner.

Xiaowan will go to university in the capital. There are countless outstanding youths there. I dont mean to belittle you, but you still fall short compared to them.

Heh~! I feel like Im back in the feudal era. Uncle~! I heard from Xiaowan that you hardly took care of her for eighteen years. She studied hard on her own. Now that shes grown up, you suddenly want to control her life. Do you think thats possible?

If I were you, I wouldnt have the face to say such things.

Faced with Su Lins sharp words, Lin Guoqiang was infuriated. He never expected a high school student to talk to him like this. In fact, Su Lin dared to speak this way because he knew Lin Guoqiangs character; otherwise, he wouldnt have been so bold in front of a mayor.

Su Lin was relentless: Eighteen years. How many eighteen years does one have? Once childhood is gone, its gone. Uncle~! Do you feel guilty?

As for how many outstanding people there are in the capital, I dont care, nor does Xiaowan. What I care about is simple: whether Xiaowan is willing to be with me. If she is willing, no one can stop us.

What era is it? This is a time that values freedom and free love, not arranged marriages.

Lin Guoqiang was left speechless by Su Lins retort. Indeed, he had many reasons to counter Su Lin, but Su Lin focused on one point.

Lin Guoqiang hadnt been involved in Xiaowans life for eighteen years, so what right did he have to control her life now? Su Lin had rendered Lin Guoqiang speechless, stripping away his previous arrogance.

Anyway, early romance is not allowed. If I find out you two are in a relationship, Ill send her abroad.

Su Lins smile grew wider: Uncle~! Please, send Xiaowan away. Rest assured, as soon as she arrives, Ill follow. Well be together then.

Teacher Wang Yi praised Su Lin and Lin Xiaowan from the podium, and some parents listened attentively. However, he noticed that Su Lin and Lin Guoqiang werent listening but whispering to each other.

Su Lin wore a smile, while Lin Guoqiang looked angry and helpless. Wang Yi was puzzled what was going on between these two?

Seeing Lin Guoqiang glaring at him speechlessly, Su Lin knew not to overdo it: Uncle~! Just relax. Were all preparing for the college entrance exams now. After the exams, its university. You cant stop me from pursuing Xiaowan then.

By that time, you can introduce Xiaowan to the outstanding youths you think highly of. Well compete fairly, and whether it works out will depend on my ability.

Lin Guoqiang narrowed his eyes: What are you planning, young man?

Im just seeking an opportunity, Su Lin said earnestly.

Opportunity? Lin Guoqiang looked at Su Lin suspiciously, instinctively not believing his words.

But Su Lins face showed no other expression.

Uncle, if you forcefully separate me and Xiaowan, it will backfire. Were not in a relationship yet, but after your meddling, Im sure Xiaowan, with her temperament, will definitely be with me. So, in a way, Im helping you resolve your worries.

You think youre being kind-hearted?

I said, Im just fighting for my chance. I believe in mans determination conquers fate, Su Lin declared confidently.

Man conquers fate, fine, Ill see how you do it.

Heh Lets wait and see, Su Lin chuckled.

Lin Guoqiang snorted and stopped arguing. He felt he had been hasty in confronting Su Lin, not knowing him well enough, and Su Lin had hit his weak spot.

Moreover, Su Lin wasnt like those in their system; he was unpredictable in conversation, jumping from one topic to another, making it hard to pin him down.

Youre opening a supermarket on Zhongjiang Avenue?

Su Lin nodded: Yes, Uncle. That area is a new development zone, the future economic center of Zhongjiang. I think opening a supermarket there is an excellent choice.

Now it was Lin Guoqiangs turn to be surprised. During their conversation, he had thought Su Lin was just shameless. He hadnt expected Su Lin to have such a thorough analysis of Zhongjiangs economy.

Lin Guoqiang knew about Zhongjiangs economic construction, and he was sure Xiaowan didnt know about it.

What makes you so sure it will be the economic center?

Real estate development, new residential areas, parks, schools moving there, and the hospital under construction. Isnt it obvious?
