My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 1903: With High Standards
This concern is enough; he never expected them to care for him like true family, but hearing such words still makes him happy!
"I won’t get into trouble. I survived such a dangerous accident this time; how could I let anything happen to myself again?"
The Councilman chuckled bitterly, feeling reassured. This child has the courage he had back then, daring to venture, daring to face danger—it’s all to achieve his own goals, a man willing to do whatever it takes.
If in the future this child inherits the Halian Clan, he can rest at ease. Perhaps he is more capable than himself in promoting the family, advancing to a stronger position.
After all, he is still so young, and terrifyingly smart, with exceptional intellect and courage. In all these years, he has seen many outstanding young people, but the one who truly left him astonished and filled with expectation is this person!
Thankfully, in this accident, he was safe; otherwise...
"By the way, I also heard it was the Duke Lie’s daughter who took the risk to rescue you. It’s surprising to find the Duke’s daughter is so formidable, truly a daughter deserving a father—an exceptional woman!"
"Indeed, she has courage," Ji Lingkong said blandly.
The Councilman was unexpectedly surprised and couldn’t help but hum: "From your tone, you don’t seem very interested in her. I thought such an outstanding beauty saved you; you’d be thrilled and full of admiration for her."
"Father, my standards are very high!" Ji Lingkong looked indifferent.
"She is one of the rare talents in the Imperial City; even I have heard of her. It’s hard to find a more outstanding and beautiful woman than her in the Aus Empire, and yet you still don’t regard her highly. Your standards indeed are set high, almost unbelievably so. I am curious to know, with such high standards, which woman catches your eye?"
Ji Lingkong thought of Jun Yiyi and cursed internally at that damn girl.
Right, his standards are high, but the one he fancies is the girl who always infuriates him, concerns him, yet he can’t seem to leave behind—a heartless girl who hasn’t even made a caring call.
He couldn’t help but chuckle and shrug, realizing his standards might not be as high as he thought.
"Anyway, let’s not discuss this. Mother keeps arranging matchmaking for me, which is already troubling enough. Father, please don’t get involved too, or I’ll explode."
"I couldn’t care less about these matters, but..." The Councilman adopted a serious tone and said earnestly, "Even if you don’t like her, you need to treat her politely and kindly, so as not to embarrass her. She saved you, and her father is also a longtime friend of mine; we can’t make her feel awkward."
"I understand."
"Alright, I have to go handle political affairs and then have an audience with her. I must personally report that you are still alive!"
The Councilman’s solemn face radiated a chilling aura. Is this a push for rebellion?
Actually, his plan was to leverage the opportunity of war to amend the constitution, gain a chance for re-election, and during the few years of this term, gradually abolish the monarchy, dissolve the royal family, and establish a republican presidency.
This reform process could take as little as five or six years, or as much as ten years, with a coup when he fully controls most of the domestic forces.
But now, the Queen’s intervention has made him change his mind.
