Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Overall, the grilled fish shop was doing well.
During this period, they also encountered some troublemakers, but the troubles were all resolved perfectly.
After Li Xiaoran, Luo Cheng, and the others ate the grilled fish, they paid the bill and left quietly.
From the beginning to the end, the people in the grilled fish shop didn’t realize that their boss had come.
Because it was a little late, the group returned to Luo Cheng’s house to rest.
Li Xiaoran was extremely sleepy, so after washing up, she went straight to bed.
Luo Cheng was about to rest, but as soon as he came out of the shower, he saw
Zi Zheng in front of him.
“Mr. Luo, Young Master Luo is here! He’s in the study!”
When Luo Cheng heard this, he nodded. “Go prepare some supper and send it over! He probably hasn’t eaten dinner yet!”
Zi Zheng nodded and left to make the arrangements.
After Luo Cheng walked towards the study, he saw the dispirited Luo Han.
“What? Did that crazy woman cause trouble for you again?” After Luo Cheng sat beside the coffee table, he reached out and took the kettle off the stove before making a pot of tea for Luo Han!
“You guessed it even without asking!” Luo Han smiled bitterly and said, “I didn’t expect my parents to be so muddle-headed! Tell me, how did my parents, who used to look quite smart, get schemed against?”
When Luo Cheng heard Luo Han’s words, he thought for a moment and said, “Perhaps it’s because of your mental state! Originally, your Luo family was a prominent family, so many people wanted to curry favor with your family. Your father was in a high position of authority. However, after leaving the capital this time, your family fell into decline. You can imagine how much of a blow losing his official position was to your father!”
Luo Cheng thought of something and added, “By the way, does that crazy woman’s family have some sort of faction backing her? Otherwise, your parents wouldn’t have been schemed against so easily!”
Luo Han nodded and said, “That’s right. She’s Duke Huai’nan’s granddaughter. Do you think she has some faction backing her?!”
“So she’s Duke Huai’nan’s granddaughter. No wonder! Speaking of which, you’re not young anymore, so you should pay more attention to your own marriage. Otherwise, schemes will happen again and again in the future. You’re in high demand now, so there will be more and more people who want to rope you in!” Luo Cheng reminded.
Luo Han nodded when he heard Luo Cheng’s words.
“I’m here for this matter! My marriage has to be put on the agenda immediately. Otherwise, I don’t know what will happen next. Why don’t you ask Xiaoran to help me find a girl who’s suitable for me?! Of course, although this matter is urgent, it can be delayed for a while. What I want to do the most now is to leave my family!”
Luo Cheng thought for a moment when he heard Luo Han’s words.
“The Luo family’s situation isn’t good now, and you’re the only one in the Luo family who’s in the officialdom now. It won’t be easy for you to leave the family! ”
Luo Han stared at Luo Cheng as he said seriously, “If it were easy, I wouldn’t have come to look for you overnight! I asked Leng Shui to send that crazy woman back and bring my parents over. I want to use this opportunity to reshuffle the Luo family. If it really doesn’t work, I’ll leave the Luo family!”
When Luo Cheng heard Luo Han’s words, he knew that he was determined to reorganize the Luo family.
“It’s impossible for you to leave the family! You’re different from me. It’s not that easy! To be honest, the Luo family isn’t stupid. They definitely won’t let an official like you leave!” Luo Cheng said.
These words reminded Luo Han.
“Sigh, I have a good idea! If I die, the Luo family probably won’t be nice to my parents anymore! When the time comes, go over and uphold justice for my parents and see if they can leave the family!”
Luo Cheng was speechless when he heard Luo Han’s words.
“How can you try to imitate me?! My situation is different from yours!”
“Cut it out. What’s the difference?! You’re free, so you can’t just watch me struggle in misery. If you’re my buddy, help me!” Luo Han insisted.
Luo Cheng saw that Luo Han was really desperate.
“What are you thinking? Do you want to die so badly? If you die, what about the position of White Foothill City’s mayor!” Luo Cheng reminded.
“If it’s no longer mine, so be it! I really don’t want to be the mayor anymore!” Luo Han said, “Originally, I thought that if I became the mayor, I could do something for the commoners. Unexpectedly, before I could do so, these people came! Being an official is really aggrieving, so I might as well work for you in the future. I might actually get some things done.” Luo Cheng frowned when he heard Luo Han’s words.
“Is that what you think?”
“Yes, I really think so! Previously, it was fine for me to be a county magistrate, but after becoming mayor, I realized that there are too many things that I can’t do! Luo Cheng, why don’t you take this opportunity to choose a more suitable person to be the mayor of White Foothill City? I’m too weak so I won’t stay the mayor for long,” Luo Han said with self-awareness.
It wasn’t that he didn’t have the ability, but that there was no faction that could protect him.
If the Luo family hadn’t declined, with his father’s power, it would have been more than enough to protect him.
But now, since he couldn’t stabilize his position, he might as well give it up so that Luo Cheng could make preparations.
“Are you serious?” Luo Cheng looked at Luo Han dubiously as he said, “I know you’re worried. If you want to be the mayor, I can still protect you!” Luo Han smiled sincerely when he heard Luo Cheng’s words.
“I knew you would say such a thing! Thank you! It’s just that there’s no need! I’ve thought it through. I’ll give up my position as mayor and let you arrange a more suitable one for me. Firstly, I can resolve all the problems at home and get rid of trouble at its roots. Only then can I develop better in the future! I can also avoid being seen as a thorn in the side by others and it’ll save my life. It’s killing two birds with one stone!”
Seeing that Luo Han had really thought it through, Luo Cheng nodded.
“In that case, give me a day! Rest here tonight and go back tomorrow morning! Since you’re going to hand over the mayor’s position, there are some things you have to deal with.. After dealing with them, I can make arrangements!”
