The Strongest Master Venturing Urban-Chapter 729: Which Is More Important, Work or Love?

Bao Chili didn't want to delay his daughter, so he continued talking.

"Tianhai is not far from Tianhe. If Gan Luo wants to see Shanshan, he can just drive there. Besides, distance makes the heart grow fonder. Staying in the same city every day will definitely get boring."

As soon as he said that, Ruan Guilan immediately scolded.

"Boring, what's boring? When dating, you should meet often! A girl just needs a stable job; there's no need to work too hard. If I hadn't been focused on my career back then, I would've married someone else earlier and not ended up with your father!"

Slightly frowning, Bao Chili's expression gradually turned ugly.

Ruan Guilan continued, "What, you want to throw a tantrum at me? Look at other men; they make sure their wives have the best of everything. Following you, I've had the worst luck imaginable!"

Having lost face in front of his daughter, Bao Chili's heart began to burn with anger.

"We're talking about our daughter's affairs, why do you always bring it back to me?"

"I've already said my piece about our daughter; she absolutely can't go to Tianhai! It will impact her relationship with Gan Luo!"

Bao Shanshan was somewhat hesitant about going to Tianhai, but after hearing Ruan Guilan speak, she actually started yearning for it.

"I'm just changing jobs; what's the impact? I think this could test my relationship with Gan Luo."

"A test? What right do you have to test him? With a family like his, if you can marry into it, I'll be counting my blessings. If you miss this chance, you'll regret it like I did and pick the wrong man!"

Bao Shanshan usually doesn't enjoy talking to her mother. Seeing her becoming more unreasonable, she couldn't help but retort.

"Mom, I've never liked Gan Luo; it was you who kept pushing me, which is why I chose him. Whether his family is good or not has nothing to do with me. I never dreamed of being a princess!"

Bam!

Ruan Guilan threw the vegetables in her hand onto the floor and pointed at Bao Shanshan's nose angrily.

"Let me tell you, Gan Luo taking an interest in you is a blessing. Don't mess around with me! If this messes up your brother's chance to get into a state-owned enterprise, I'll be furious with you!"

Bao Chili really didn't want to deal with Ruan Guilan's nonsense, so he got up and went to his room.

Bao Shanshan chuckled angrily, "Messing around? You're willing to sacrifice my happiness for Tianci's career. Who exactly is messing around?"

"Is that how you talk to me? Who a girl marries doesn't matter; it's your brother who'll become the family's backbone, don't you know?"

"Fine, if you think everything's about my brother, then I'm definitely going to Tianhai! I won't stay here and be an eyesore anymore!" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

With those words, Bao Shanshan slammed the door to her room.

Ruan Guilan twisted the doorknob but found she couldn't turn it.

Panic filled her heart, and she quickly shouted again.

"Bao Shanshan, let me tell you, if you ruin Tianci, I'll have it out with you! Do you hear me?!"

Seeing no response, Ruan Guilan hurriedly took out her phone and went downstairs to call Gan Luo.

"Little Luo, there's a big problem! Shanshan plans to work in Tianhai, what should we do?"

Gan Luo, who was still upset with Bao Shanshan, was stunned upon hearing this.

"Auntie, what's going on?"

"I don't know either; she insisted on going to Tianhai after coming home tonight, and I couldn't stop her. So I called you for advice."

As she said this, Ruan Guilan's tone was very gentle, mixed with flattery.

Clearly, she was trying to win Gan Luo's favor.

Gan Luo realized that Shan Liqiang had probably asked Bao Shanshan to dinner tonight to discuss this.

"Auntie, don't worry, I won't let Shanshan go."

Early the next morning, Gan Luo freshened up and drove to Tianhe Foreign Language University.

"Shanshan, I heard you're considering going to Tianhai for work?"

"Did my mom tell you that?"

"Who told me doesn't matter; what matters is, what about our marriage?"

"When did I say I'd marry? Tianhai is so close to Tianhe; we can see each other anytime. Besides, it's a rare opportunity to work at the provincial level. If you truly like me, you should support my choice."

Frowning, Gan Luo seemed very displeased.

"Is our relationship less important than your career?"

"Love is love, career is career; they shouldn't be mixed. I don't want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you don't agree, then let's break up."

With those words, Bao Shanshan turned and left immediately.

She is a career-oriented woman who likes ambitious men.

While Gan Luo relies on his father's authority to run businesses, he is almost a spoiled child.

Bao Shanshan decided to work in Tianhai to distance herself from Gan Luo and slowly end this doomed relationship.

Back in the office, Bao Shanshan immediately called Shan Liqiang.

"Minister Shan, I'm willing to work in Tianhai."

Shan Liqiang had expected Bao Shanshan to agree; he just didn't expect it to be so soon.

He then asked, "Are you sure about this?"

"Yes, I don't want to miss this chance to advance."

"This is your smartest decision. Don't forget about me if you get successful."

Hearing Shan Liqiang's words, Bao Shanshan was somewhat puzzled.

"Minister Shan, what do you mean by that?"

"Nothing, I'll contact Minister Chen right away; just wait for my call."

Hanging up the phone, Shan Liqiang immediately informed Chen Bin about this.

Chen Bin was naturally delighted and instructed Shan Liqiang to bring Bao Shanshan to Tianhai to meet him on Friday night.

Gan Luo left the school and promptly called Ruan Guilan, asking her to keep a close eye on Bao Shanshan.

Then he drove to his parents' house.

Since he started his business, he moved out.

But whenever he encounters trouble, he visits home.

After parking the car, Gan Luo asked the maid, "Has my dad come back?"

"Not yet, but Professor Ning is home."

Meanwhile, Ning Xinxian gracefully descended the stairs, surrounded by an aura of elegance.

She is a professor at Yanxi Normal University, recently retired.

Though she's in her fifties now, she maintains her looks, exercises regularly, and appears only in her early forties.

Since childhood, Ning Xinxian has been Gan Luo's idol.

In search of a wife like his mother, he set his sights on Bao Shanshan.

"Mom, I'm home!"

Ning Xinxian quickly approached with concern, "Little Luo, why do you look so upset? Do you have something on your mind?"

Gan Luo didn't want her to worry about his relationship issues, so he replied.

"Nothing, just a bit of trouble at the company, but I've sorted it out."

They didn't talk much before Gan Qiu returned.

Also in his fifties, he stands at 1.8 meters tall, his hair perfectly groomed.

If not for his age, he would surely captivate thousands of girls.

Gan Luo immediately greeted him with a smile, "Dad, you're back."

Seeing his son's unusual expression, Gan Qiu instinctively asked.

"Little Luo, did you run into any problems recently?"

"N-no…"

Knowing his son well, Gan Qiu quickly sensed something.

He then said directly, "Come to the study with me!"
