Seeing Cheng Shiyuan's uncharacteristic begging for help, Mu Yunshu suddenly felt wary.
Abnormal.
This is too abnormal.
In the past, Cheng Shiyuan's character would never be so coy.
Especially the relationship between the two of them, there is no beating around the bush.
"Are you still so alienated from me?"
"Let's be honest, what are you busy with?"
"It's as if I won't help you."
Mu Yunshu shook his head helplessly and said dotingly.
Be cautious, but after all, you are your best friend, how can you really not be busy if something happens?
Seeing Mu Yunshu directly agreeing, Cheng Shiyuan's eyes lit up and he smiled happily. He leaned close to Mu Yunshu's ear, lightly parted his red lips and whispered:
"Go back and give Ning Yan some pillow air."
"Let him say more good things about me in front of brother Tingfang."
Cheng Shiyuan didn't like to see Ning Yan because he didn't know much about him before.
But Gu Tingfang had already said that.
She is not a fool, of course she must be a wise man who knows the current affairs.
As for face?
No matter how many embarrassments she had, Mu Yunshu knew about this one.
Being able to stretch and bend is the beautiful character that new women in the new century should possess.
"you...."
"I just asked Ning Yan for help after scolding him. Isn't it a bit too..."
Mu Yunshu looked strange and said.
Mu Yunshu knew that her best friend was thinking outside the box.
But she didn't expect that Cheng Shiyuan's attitude would change so much.
He even went beyond easing the relationship with Ning Yan and started asking him for help.
The starting point of this idea is not the right one.
With Gu Tingfang's respect for Ning Yan and his assistance, Cheng Shiyuan's pursuit of her husband will definitely be more effective with half the effort.
"So this isn't looking for you?"
"He won't help me, but he certainly won't refuse you."
"You are his big sponsor, so you can't let your money go in vain, right?"
"We have to let him shine, right?"
Cheng Shiyuan hugged Mu Yunshu's arm and said softly and coquettishly.
There was even a well-founded analysis.
"I can only try it for you, but I can't guarantee whether it will work or not." Mu Yunshu couldn't bear to reject Cheng Shiyuan and said.
At first glance, this seems quite reasonable.
It's easier said than done.
Mu Yunshu didn't think that he had that much dignity to invite Ning Yan.
At most, it's just a sideways comment.
Do your best.
"My lifelong happiness will be left to you!" Cheng Shiyuan said excitedly, his eyes shining.
She believed that with Shu Shu taking the initiative, she would be able to make the final decision.
After all, throughout the ages, the most lethal thing is pillow wind.
~~
Over there at the dining table.
"Did you retire this time when you came back?" Ning Yan took a sip of wine and asked.
"Not yet, but soon." Gu Tingfang replied, "My parents are old, and I am their only son. They urge me to return to the country to inherit the family business."
There was a hint of helplessness in Gu Tingfang's words.
He is not interested in doing business or inheriting the family business.
But in the end, he still couldn't defeat them.
"I think the main purpose is to urge you to return to China and get married, right?"
"You are not young at this age. It is true that you are anxious to have your grandson."
Ning Yan patted Gu Tingfang's shoulder and smiled.
This kid is both an only child and a single person. Can his parents not be worried?
Moreover, the environment abroad is dangerous, and they are afraid that one day the white-haired people will really give away the black-haired people.
Gu Tingfang also understood their thoughts, so he chose to return home.
"Nothing can be hidden from Mr. Ning."
"All of these."
Gu Tingfang clinked glasses with Ning Yan and drank the wine in one gulp.
Ning Yan saw Gu Tingfang's preoccupied look, smiled lightly, and said, "What do you think of Cheng Shiyuan?"
"What do you mean?"
Gu Tingfang trembled, his heart was startled, and he asked.
He didn't expect that Ning Banyan would be so direct when he mentioned Cheng Shiyuan.
Gu Tingfang couldn't help but feel worried.
Because Ning Yan and Cheng Shiyuan didn't deal with each other, and there was even a lot of friction.
"Don't tell me, you can't tell she likes you." Ning Yan shook the wine glass gently and smiled.
Anyway, Mu Yunshu and Cheng Shiyuan went to the bathroom, and they were the only ones here.
Ning Yan was too lazy to beat around the bush, and his words were extremely direct and targeted.
"I thought you wanted to..." Hearing this, Gu Tingfang breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly.
"Thought I was going to say something bad about her?"
"Although I am not a magnanimous person, I also don't like to stab people in the back."
Ning Yan smiled lightly and said.
The conflicts between him and Cheng Shiyuan have been retaliated face to face, and the grudge is over.
As for saying bad things behind his back, he would rather someone was not so boring and not so tasteless.
Cheng Shiyuan is mentioned now mainly because of gossip.
After all, you can face to face and learn from the parties first-hand, so why not?
Gu Tingfang nodded and said, "I quite like her, but..."
As he spoke, he looked towards the direction of the bathroom, but hesitated to speak.
It seems extremely difficult.
"Just what?"
"You are a grown man, why are you hesitating?"
Ning Yan grabbed Gu Tingfang's neck and urged with a smile.
Ning Yan knew very well that since Gu Tingfang had feelings for Cheng Shiyuan but hesitated, there must be a lot of stories involved.
This is more alcoholic than peanuts.
"My father hopes to marry me to the Xu family in Beijing."
Gu Tingfang sighed and said.
Cheng Shiyuan was very kind and had a deep love for him. This was no secret among the upper class in Lin'an, and Gu Tingfang's father naturally knew it too.
But Gu's father knew one thing better: the combination of their two families would not have the effect of one plus one being greater than two.
In Vanity Fair, everything is out of your control.
By marrying into the Xu family in the capital, everyone can get what they need.
And what was sacrificed was nothing more than love without any benefit.
Gu Tingfang's words actually concealed a lot.
His father was not hoping, but had already contacted the Xu family in the capital.
That's why Gu Tingfang, who was caught in a dilemma, was so distressed.
"The Xu family in the capital?" Ning Yan raised an eyebrow and asked, "The Xu family from the Ministry of Public Security?"
There are many dignitaries named Xu in the capital, large and small.
But in Ning Yan's memory, he was the only one who could match up with Gu Tingfang.
"Exactly." Gu Tingfang responded.
"Cheng Shiyuan probably doesn't know yet, right?" Ning Yan said with a smile.
Although I only met Cheng Shiyuan today.
But given the character of this young lady, it would be really hilarious if she knew about this.
Gu Tingfang: "Yes."
"Then what do you think?"
"Should we choose Cheng Shiyuan or Xu Caiwei?"
After Ning Yan drank all the wine in the glass, he played with the glass in his hand and asked playfully.
This kind of either-or extreme choice is the most interesting.
It will be difficult for Gu Tingfang to choose.
"Mr. Ning, you...how did you know it was Xu Caiwei?" Gu Tingfang asked in surprise.
Ning Yan guessed that it was the Xu family of the Ministry of Public Security.
Gu Tingfang felt that it was because the scope was not large.
Maybe there is a factor of luck, so it is normal to guess it.
But he didn't expect that Ning Yan could even blurt out the name of his marriage partner?
A sudden moment.
Gu Tingfang, who originally only knew a little bit about Ning Yan's true identity, had a concrete guess.
This Mr. Ning is not only terrifying in strength, but he also comes from a top family in the capital.
The key is, his surname is Ning...
No way?
"Lao Xu only has three daughters."
"The eldest daughter is married, the younger daughter is still in college, and the only second daughter left is about your age."
"Who else could it be besides Xu Caiwei?"
Ning Yan shrugged and said calmly.
"It's Xu Caiwei." Gu Tingfang said, "But I don't know how to choose..."
Gu Tingfang's brows were full of confusion.
"have no idea?"
"It's just a simple choice. Why are you, a grown man, so indecisive?"
"You don't look like a bloody soldier who survived the battlefield."
Ning Yan said.
"I want to choose Shi Yuan, but my father won't agree." Gu Tingfang poured himself another glass of wine, shook his dizzy head, and said with a wry smile.
On one side is his childhood sweetheart who has been in love with him for more than ten years, and on the other side is Miss Xu, who can bring the family to a higher level...
On one side is the woman whose eyes are full of him, on the other side are the expectations of his parents...
"Are you getting married, or are you getting married?"
"According to what you say, my old man still doesn't agree with my marriage, so I have to obey him?"
Ning Yan patted Gu Tingfang's shoulder and asked.
That confusion can only exist for a good man like Gu Tingfang, and it can only trap him.
Maybe it's because Ning Yan is more rebellious.
But he firmly believes in one truth: when others say that the overall situation is the most important thing, you are definitely not in this overall situation.
It's like, when they ask you to do whatever it takes, and you're that price.
So Ning Yan chose to follow his heart.
It is best if he is satisfied.
"disagree?"
"You didn't mean that they..."
Gu Tingfang realized it later.
He seemed to have heard something shocking.
Mr. Ning comes from a top family in the capital, but he dares to openly disobey...
"I just said they knew, not that they agreed!" Ning Yan said with a smile, "And I don't need their consent to do anything I do."
The violent shock suppressed the drunkenness, and Gu Tingfang said in surprise: "They don't agree, how dare you...?"
At this moment, Gu Tingfang finally realized how audacious Ning Yan was.
"What am I afraid of?"
"Can't we just lift the table?"
"If they don't let me play, then everyone should stop playing."
Ning Yan smiled lightly and said.
Rules are something that restrains people, but not Ning Yan.
It was precisely because Mr. Ning knew Ning Yan's character.
Even if Ning Yan learned the news on the first day of her wedding, she still didn't agree with the marriage.
But there was no reaction or any action.
It's not acquiescence, nor doting.
But he knew that once he did something to Mu Yunshu, Ning Yan would really overturn the table.
It's not impossible to smash the capital in a fit of rage...
There is no sword in hand, and having a sword and not using it are completely different things.
Dignity only lies on the edge of the sword.
"It has to be you." Gu Tingfang silently gave a thumbs up, "I learned it."
"You kid, take care of yourself." Ning Yan smiled meaningfully, "If you miss it and regret it, it will be too late!"
