Soon the dishes arrived, and Long Xiao hastily poured wine for the three women.
Xue Meiqin was very well-behaved during the meal, fearing that she might cause trouble for Long Xiao, and did not dare to tease him.
Seeing Xue Meiqin eating honestly without any improper behavior with Long Xiao, Lin Xuan gradually came to believe that Xue Meiqin was just a nurse from Xinglin Caotang, who happened to be prettier than average.
After the meal, Long Xiao went home directly in Lin Xuan's car. After Luan Jiping saw them off, she walked to Xue Meiqin's car.
"Xue Meiqin, you've got some skills."
"President Luan, what do you mean?"
Luan Jiping smiled and said, "Are you falling for my brother?"
"No, absolutely not."
Xue Meiqin answered quickly, as if caught red-handed by a thief.
Luan Jiping warned, "I'm warning you, don't get any ideas about my brother before he's divorced."
"What if he gets divorced?" Xue Meiqin asked.
"Still not allowed."
"President Luan, aren't you being too domineering? If he gets divorced, we'll be competitors. Whoever can win over a free man, wins."
"We're not competitors, I wouldn't like that kind of immature man."
"President Luan, you're lying. Women understand women best."
The two parted ways on bad terms. After Luan Jiping drove away, Xue Meiqin started her car and muttered to herself, "Long Xiao, as long as I have the chance, I will have you sooner or later."
When Long Xiao returned home, he was interrogated again by Lin Xuan. Women's intuition is sometimes sharp, but sometimes they are also very foolish.
Long Xiao was worrying about how to explain when he heard Nangong Yue call out that relatives had arrived and asked him to hurry up and prepare dinner.
Long Xiao and Lin Xuan went to the living room and saw Nangong Xia's family sitting on the sofa, with several large bags of gifts on the coffee table.
Since they were relatives, and Nangong Yue's relatives at that, they had to greet them with a smile no matter how displeased they were, or the Lin family would be in an uproar. After Lin Xuan and Long Xiao greeted them, they were about to go to the kitchen to help.
"Lin Xuan, you stay. I have something to say to you," Nangong Yue said.
Long Xiao went to help in the kitchen, and while working, he listened to Aunt Ling talk about her son.
Aunt Ling's son had completely recovered. With the money Long Xiao gave him, he rented a new place and moved out of the shantytown.
Aunt Ling's son had a very good relationship with his girlfriend. He planned to find a job, earn more money, and get married as soon as possible.
After listening to Aunt Ling's lengthy rambling, Long Xiao said, "Aunt Ling, if Er Yong hasn't found a job yet, have him come to me. I'll start him at five thousand a month, and we can increase it later depending on the situation."
"Long Xiao, what do you do? Can he handle it?"
Five thousand yuan was a good salary, but Aunt Ling worried that Zhang Eryong only knew how to fight and had no other skills, so he couldn't do the job Long Xiao arranged.
Long Xiao chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Aunt Ling. My place is a medical clinic. He just needs to run errands and maintain order."
Before dinner was ready, Aunt Ling had already decided to have her son Zhang Eryong go to Long Xiao's place, and she immediately called him.
In fact, Zhang Eryong had already decided to follow Long Xiao once he fully recovered. He hadn't called Long Xiao yet, but his mother had called him first.
When dinner was ready, although Long Xiao and Lin Xuan had already eaten, they still had to accompany Nangong Xia's family.
When the dishes were served, Long Xiao saw that Lin Xuan's face looked a bit unwell and asked, "Wife, are you feeling unwell? Perhaps you should go rest."
Nangong Yue glared and said, "No. If you don't resolve Xue Kai's matter, you're not going to rest."
"Xue Kai's matter? What matter? Is he injured again?" Long Xiao asked, looking at Xue Kai.
Nangong Xia glared at Long Xiao and said, "You're the one who's injured. My Xue Kai wants to join Lanyin Live, but Lanyin refuses to agree. Lanyin's headquarters is in Donghai, and we wanted Lin Xuan to help, but she flatly refused."
"Aunt Xia, the Lin Group has nothing to do with live streaming platforms. Lin Xuan can't say anything."
"What do you, a live-in son-in-law, know? How can your Lin Group have no connection with Lanyin? If you don't want to help because you look down on us poor relatives, then so be it."
"Aunt Xia, that's not what I meant. What can't Xue Kai do to make money other than live streaming? What if he gets beaten up again next time?"
"You jinx, can't you say something nice? How can he always get beaten up by doing live streams?" Xue Xingjian said unhappily.
It seemed that Xue Kai's family supported his live streaming career. Since that was the case, Long Xiao didn't say any more.
Young people mature late these days. Xue Kai's state of mind was similar to that of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old. Long Xiao knew that saying more would be useless, and he wouldn't understand.
Lin Xuan was full of frustration. She didn't know anyone at Lanyin company at all. Let alone such a large live streaming platform, she didn't have any connections with even smaller ones.
Seeing Lin Xuan misunderstood and unhappy, Long Xiao felt a pang of sympathy. This woman had helped him a lot, and his good feelings towards her were growing stronger. He couldn't bear to see her unhappy.
"Aunt Xia, how about this? You stay here for now, and I'll think of a way for you."
Nangong Xia tilted her head to look at Long Xiao, then at Nangong Yue, and said, "Are you going to fob me off with this live-in son-in-law again? I'm telling you, I know everything about his situation. Don't treat me like a fool."
"Aunt Xia, actually Long Xiao knows many important people. Perhaps he can really help you," Lin Xuan said quickly, seeing Long Xiao wanting to help.
"What important people can a man who lives off his wife know?" Nangong Xia said disdainfully.
The dinner ended unhappily, and Long Xiao and Lin Xuan returned to their room. Nangong Xia's family also stayed at the Lin residence.
The next day, Long Xiao checked online and found that the Luo family held 80% of the shares in Lanyin Live. So he directly called Lu Ying.
Lu Ying was very excited to receive Long Xiao's call. She hadn't expected Long Xiao to call her.
"Brother Long, just give me your instructions, and I'll handle it immediately."
Long Xiao explained the situation to Lu Ying. Lu Ying chuckled and said, "It's a small matter. I'll inform the platform immediately to lift the restrictions on Xue Kai and allow him to register."
After Lu Ying agreed, she immediately called Lanyin Live to understand the situation. At the same time, she issued an order to have the platform remove the restrictions on Xue Kai.
Lanyin had banned Xue Kai because he had repeatedly violated Lanyin's regulations.
After the matter was settled, Lu Ying called Long Xiao back. Long Xiao found Xue Kai and told him that his live streaming account was now usable.
"Really? You're not kidding me, are you?" Xue Kai was full of disbelief.
Long Xiao smiled and said, "You can just try to register and see, but I'm telling you, you're not allowed to broadcast things like 'Eating a Peach, So Cool' anymore, or you'll be banned again."
Xue Kai said with a dejected expression, "If I don't broadcast that, what else can I broadcast? I don't know anything else."
Long Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Don't broadcast that. Broadcast social hot topics, celebrity stories, anything is fine. Why do you have to imitate a sissy?"
Xue Kai thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say. I'll stream in Donghai. If I have difficulties, you have to help me."
Long Xiao nodded without hesitation and said, "As long as you stream normally, without violating laws or regulations, and your moral compass is correct, I can help you."
After they agreed, Xue Kai decided to stay in Donghai and live at the Lin family's residence. Nangong Xia and Xue Xingjian were a little reluctant, but in the end, they couldn't refuse Xue Kai and had to agree.
