"Oh, okay!"
Sun Li and Jiang Aiguo exchanged a glance, both answering somewhat awkwardly.
The man in front of them was tall, wearing a smart, dark suit. He was quite handsome and, indeed, looked like a good match for Yangyang.
Besides, he had just helped their family save face, so Jiang Aiguo and Sun Li had quite a favorable impression of him.
However...
Unable to suppress his curiosity, Jiang Aiguo asked, "Tingyan, you’re not from our village, are you? May I boldly ask how you met our Yangyang?"
Li Tingyan glanced at Nianyang and chose what he could share, "The first time we met was over a month ago. Nini couldn’t make it to an exam on time, and I happened to come across her and took her to school. Later, when I accidentally got injured, it was Nini who saved my life."
"So you’ve known Yangyang for quite a while, huh? And Yangyang, you little brat, you had a boyfriend so early on, why didn’t you bring Tingyan back to introduce him to us sooner? Look at how surprised we are today!"
Sun Li chuckled and then gave Nianyang a displeased look.
To Sun Li, Nianyang was her daughter, and she felt uneasy that her daughter had a boyfriend outside without telling her.
Nianyang quickly came up with an excuse, "At first, A’Yan and I were just ordinary friends. Later, as we spent more time together, we started to feel a connection, and that’s when we decided to officially become a couple and bring him home to tell you."
Li Tingyan was secretly pleased; his little girlfriend really gave him face, not saying it was him who shamelessly pursued her.
"I see, that’s how it is."
Jiang Aiguo and Sun Li nodded. Their initial dissatisfaction with Nianyang for hiding her boyfriend from them immediately dissipated.
At the same time, they grew more and more pleased with Li Tingyan. They hadn’t expected Yangyang to be so fortunate, finding a partner who is a businessman. Nowadays, businessmen have bright futures, and their life together would surely be happy!
He’s certainly a hundred times better than that unreliable scumbag Zhang Zhiqiang!
But...
Jiang Aiguo stared at the emblem on Li Tingyan’s clothes and then asked, "You, you are actually the General Manager? How long have you been with the company? How old are you this year?"
Li Tingyan answered honestly, "I started working as a sailor on the ship when I was 20. I’m 25 this year."
Meaning this man reached the position of General Manager in just five years?
Jiang Aiguo had worked as a sailor and knew how difficult it was for Li Tingyan to rise through the ranks. Every promotion required countless sea voyages and numerous life-and-death encounters!
For someone like Li Tingyan to become a General Manager at such a young age, his strength and astuteness must be formidable, suggesting that his future path would be anything but ordinary.
With a hint of caution, Jiang Aiguo asked, "Pardon my frankness, but where is your family from? What is your family situation? Given your excellent qualities, I’m sure many young women admire you, so why would you take a liking to a girl from our village?"
It’s not that Jiang Aiguo looked down on Nianyang, but Li Tingyan was too outstanding. Would such a shrewd and capable man be willing to marry a village girl?
After all, figures of his stature often formed alliances with partners of similar standing to gain more power and seek better prospects.
Although Yangyang was smart and capable, she couldn’t offer Li Tingyan any assistance in that regard!
If Li Tingyan was also the type to seek social advancement, dating Yangyang would just be playing with her!
Jiang Aiguo didn’t want Yangyang to escape one perilous situation only to fall into another.
