Chapter 420 Zhong Xiaoai angrily rebukes Hou Liangping
"Shut up, we can talk later!"
Zhong Xiaoai scolded.
As soon as Hou Liangping got in the car, he started rambling on and on about how much he had missed her over the years, which made her very angry.
Hou Liangping did pursue her, but they were never together, so why would he miss her?
That was nothing more than Hou Liangping's unrequited love.
Moreover, if Hou Liangping really couldn't forget her, why would he kneel down and propose to that old woman Liang Lu?
Zhong Xiaoai didn't want to say anything to Hou Liangping in the car, lest it have a negative impact on her.
She didn't want rumors about her to circulate in the county government tomorrow.
"Okay, Xiao Ai!"
Under Zhong Xiaoai's stern gaze, Hou Liangping could only reluctantly shut his mouth, keeping all his unspoken thoughts to himself.
The car was quiet throughout the journey.
The driver quickly dropped Zhong Xiaoai off at the county committee dormitory building.
After getting off the car, Zhong Xiaoai went straight upstairs and asked Hou Liangping to go to her dormitory with her.
Zhong Xiaoai originally wanted to talk to Hou Liangping downstairs, but there were many county party committee and government officials and their families in the dormitory compound, and it would be easy for the news to spread if she talked about it there.
It will have a negative impact on myself.
Hou Liangping was very excited. Xiao Ai actually let him go to the dormitory. What a happy thing this was!
Soon, Zhong Xiaoai and Hou Liangping arrived at Zhong Xiaoai's dormitory, and Zhong Xiaoai closed the door tightly.
"Xiao Ai, thank you for letting me come to your dorm on the very first day we met again!"
Hou Liangping said happily.
If a girl takes you to her dorm, it means she has truly accepted you and is ready to have a serious relationship with you.
"Hou Liangping, don't overthink it. I asked you to come to my dorm because I didn't want others to see us and cause trouble, which would affect me!"
It's not that I have any feelings for you!
Let me be frank with you, I won't accept you, and don't come looking for me again!
Zhong Xiaoai said seriously.
She had to make things clear with Hou Liangping to avoid him bothering her again.
"Why? Xiao Ai, what's wrong with me?"
For the past three years, I've thought about you every day and tried my best!
"Just so you'd glance at me a little longer, I joined the anti-drug squad, braved the treacherous Eagle Ridge alone, and nearly lost my life!"
Hou Liangping said, feeling wronged.
Isn't all his hard work just to get Zhong Xiaoai's attention and make her look at him more?
Don't you know that yourself?
He nearly lost his life venturing alone into Lone Eagle Ridge, becoming a lone hero, which is truly remarkable.
But what did you do afterward?
He went to Handong University, knelt down, confessed his love to that old woman Liang Lu, and proposed to her!
Is this what you call perseverance? This is what you call missing me day and night?
Where is your pride? Where is your courage?
"If Qi Tongwei hadn't given you a hand, you'd be on the snowy plateau by now!"
Zhong Xiaoai questioned.
She had already investigated how Hou Liangping was transferred to Handong during the National Day holiday.
Hou Liangping was afraid of hardship and was unwilling to go to the snowy plateau.
Qi Tongwei was in a bad situation in Xichun County and needed a helper, so he found someone to transfer Hou Liangping to the Southwest Province.
However, Qi Tongwei's biggest backer was Fan Shichang. If Fan Shichang couldn't even transfer Qi Tongwei, how could he transfer Hou Liangping?
Qi Tongwei himself was exiled to Xinan Province by Liang Qunfeng.
Qi Tongwei turned Jinshan County into a county with a GDP of 10 billion yuan, which attracted attention from all sides. Liang Qunfeng had just become the deputy secretary and dared not continue to suppress Qi Tongwei.
They sent him to a relatively underdeveloped southwestern province.
Unexpectedly, the leaders of Xinan Province valued Qi Tongwei highly and appointed him as the county magistrate of Xichun County.
"Xiao Ai, I had no choice!"
At the time, many people said that I would be sent back to the Guihe Township Judicial Office and then continue to work in the village, or even go to the deep mountains and forests to collect water from the reservoir!
I'm mentally prepared to work hard at the grassroots level for a while!
But the result was that I was sent to the Tibetan Plateau, where the altitude is high and the environment is harsh. How could someone like me from a coastal area adapt to that…”
Hou Liangping said, feeling wronged.
"Many people from coastal areas are supporting the construction in the Tibetan Plateau. Why didn't they say they couldn't adapt?"
You, Hou Liangping, are just afraid of hardship!
I find it strange that you, Hou Liangping, are not afraid of death, so why are you afraid of hardship?
Hard work and perseverance are excellent traditions of the Party and basic qualities of Party members!
"And you call yourself a Party member!"
Zhong Xiaoai rebuked angrily.
She suddenly realized that the rumors about Hou Liangping that circulated at Handong University during her senior year might be true.
This guy is vain and only wants to curry favor with the powerful and wealthy.
"Xiao Ai, it's not that I can't endure hardship, it's just that I was shot and my body hasn't fully recovered."
If I hadn't been shot, I would have gone to the Tibetan Plateau without hesitation to support its development!
Hou Liangping explained.
He was shot three times at Lone Eagle Ridge and almost died. How could he possibly be fully recovered so soon?
What if he relapses over there? That would be fatal.
They are classmates, after all. How could Zhong Xiaoai be so indifferent and not care about his health at all?
Is this how the children of aristocratic families view ordinary people?
Do they think that children from ordinary families should suffer hardship and toil?
As for kneeling down to confess his love and propose to Liang Lu in public, that was something he couldn't help.
If he doesn't do this, does he have any other options?
Doesn't Zhong Xiaoai know who Liang Lu is?
Yes, he could openly kneel down and beg Liang Lu to let him go, but that would completely enrage the Liang family, and his whole family would suffer.
Although his parents could no longer get any promotions, they could at least keep their current rank and benefits.
If he openly kneels down and begs Liang Lu to let him go, his whole family will be exiled to the snowy plateau.
"Don't make excuses. You, Hou Liangping, have your own choices. You're just afraid of hardship!"
What's wrong with going to the Tibetan Plateau?
If the leaders there know you're a drug enforcement hero and that you were injured, would they not take care of you?
Do you think every local leader is as inhumane as the Liang family?
You're just a coward, a weakling, and you don't dare to fight back to the end!
Do you think no one can see through your little scheme?
You publicly knelt down and proposed to Liang Lu, wasn't it just to make Liang Lu happy, so that she would dump her fiancé and choose you?
In my senior year, the rumors about you on campus were indeed true!
You, Hou Liangping, are a vain person who only wants to curry favor with the powerful and take shortcuts!
Zhong Xiaoai continued her angry rebuke.
Today, she finally saw Hou Liangping's true colors.
Fortunately, she didn't accept him back then, otherwise Hou Liangping would have succeeded.
She suddenly realized that Liang Lu shouldn't have sent Hou Liangping to the Tibetan Plateau.
We should keep him in Handong, continue to suppress him, make him suffer, and thoroughly smooth out Hou Liangping's rough edges.
It extinguished the flame of hope in his heart.
Hou Liangping didn't dare to resist to the end; what else could it be but cowardice and weakness?
"Xiao Ai, how could you say that to me! I had no other choice!"
I've suffered so much these past three years, and you don't even care about it!
How can you say such things to me? How can I possibly live with myself like this?
Hou Liangping said sadly.
