Mr. Bo, my wife is going on a date with someone again.

Gu Chenye: "I'm sorry, uncle. I'm married now. If I go to see Yunyao alone again, I'm afraid it will damage her reputation."

Father Mu didn't expect him to refuse. He was stunned for a moment, laughed dryly twice, and then said, "It was my uncle who neglected it. He forgot that you and the one from the Yan family haven't divorced yet. I've wronged you in the past two years."

Gu Chenye knew that the other party was testing him, so he didn't hide it and said bluntly: "Yan Ji is fine, she and I will not divorce."

"..."

Now, Father Mu was completely unable to continue this topic. Looking at Gu Chenye's attitude, Yun Yao's hopes were likely to be dashed. He never expected that the adopted daughter of the Yan family was so capable that she could secure the position of Mrs. Gu.

After chatting about family matters for a while, the topic finally returned to today's theme. Although it was a foregone conclusion that he would take that position, the official transfer order had not come down yet, and he always felt uneasy. He had lost all his connections here, so he made an appointment with Gu Chenye today to ask him to help him with some lobbying.

In the private room next door, Yan Ji drank tea while listening to their conversation. Gu Chenye did not refuse, but did not give a clear agreement either. This was beyond her expectations. The Gu family and the Mu family were a community of interests, and the entanglement between the two families was deep, which started from the previous two generations. She thought he would agree without hesitation. After all, if Mu's father took that position, Gu Chenye would also benefit a lot.

Not to mention Yan Ji's surprise, Mu's father was equally surprised. He suspected that the adopted daughter of the Yan family had whispered something in Gu Chenye's ear. Outsiders did not know the grudge between her and their family, but he knew very well that when she was downstairs at the Xu family, the way she looked at the group of people was really like a wolf cub who wanted to drink human blood.

In the past few years, the children who participated in the bullying incident got into trouble one after another. He was not unaware of it, but he thought that she would not cause any trouble, so he ignored it. She was just an orphan with no background after leaving the Yan family. However, he did not expect that due to his carelessness, he let her plot against Yun Yao and even let her get close to Chen Ye and become Mrs. Gu.

He personally poured a cup of tea for Gu Chenye and said meaningfully: "Chenye, our two families have been in a relationship for so many years. You know how much interest is involved. We can't let some people with bad intentions ruin our friendship."

Gu Chenye raised his eyelids and said calmly: "Yan Ji didn't tell me anything."

She never counted on him at all, and she insisted on marrying him, probably just to make things difficult for Mu Yunyao. In her heart, he might be worse than a stray dog ​​wagging its tail at her on the street, which at least could provide her with emotional value.

When he thought of this, he felt a little depressed.

"..."

Father Mu was also impulsive when he was young. Seeing Gu Chenye like this, what else could he not understand? He took it to heart and asked someone to investigate, but he didn't believe that Gu Chenye could really sever the years of friendship between the two families for a woman. If he dared to do so, no one else in the Gu family would allow it.

Half an hour later, the conversation between the two ended. They left for a while before the tightly closed door of the private room behind them was pushed open. Zhou Hongyi and a middle-aged man walked in from outside. One look at their appearance and you could tell they were father and son.

The middle-aged man sat down opposite Yan Ji and said straight to the point: "Miss Yan, you just heard it. If Gu Chenye wants to help the Mu family, then the position has basically been decided, and the things in your hands have lost their meaning. With Mr. Gu's financial resources, it is easy for him to open a few bottles of good wine and buy a few luxury items for the woman he supports."

Yanji: "..."

"So, unless you can guarantee that Gu Chenye will not help the Mu family, and will not have any financial or emotional involvement with Mu Yunyao, then I will consider cooperating with you. After all, once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Once you fail, let alone turning things around, it is hard to say whether you can even save your life."

The other party said everything he wanted to say in one breath, and did not ask Yan Ji to reply immediately: "Miss Yan, please contact Hong Yi after you are sure. Of course, even if you don't join, I will definitely fight for that position, but what you want may not be realized."

He also wanted to bring down the Mu family, but it would require too much. If he failed, the cost would be too high. He was old and his son had no interest in this path, so there was no need to take such a big risk.

"But if you want to cooperate, you have to show me your value."

Before leaving, he said one last thing: "With Miss Yan's looks and intelligence, it would be easy for her to make a man fall in love with her."

After saying that, he glared at his silly son. Ever since entering the private room, his eyes had been glued to Yan Ji, fearing that others would use him as a knife.

Stupid thing.

Yan Ji smiled: "Okay."

As soon as the Zhou family left, the smile on her face fell. She did not forget what Gu Chenye had warned her. The interests of the two families were so deeply involved. Letting him stand idly by and watch the survival of the Mu family was no different from cutting off one of his arms with a knife.

……

When Yan Ji returned home, Gu Chenye was sitting at the dining table drinking soup. His handsome face reflected in the light was like a pleasing painting.

Aunt Song: "Young Madam is back. I cooked some soup. Can I serve you a bowl?"

Yan Ji had just finished his meal and didn't want to drink, but when he saw Gu Chenye sitting at the table, he changed his mind: "Okay."

When Aunt Song put the bowl of soup down, she reminded him, "It's a little hot."

"it is good."

Her mind was full of thoughts on how to sow discord between Gu Chenye and the Mu family. She did not hear what Aunt Song said clearly. She just responded subconsciously, picked up the spoon and scooped some soup into her mouth.

Yan Ji hissed as she was scalded. There was no trash can nearby, so she held a mouthful of soup in her mouth, unable to swallow it.

Gu Chenye subconsciously reached out his hand: "Spit."

Seeing this scene, Aunt Song smiled like an auntie. She put the trash can back to its original place and quietly went to the kitchen to get some ice water.

Yan Ji was not polite at all to Gu Chenye. As soon as he finished speaking, she opened her mouth and spit the soup into his palm.

"..."

After washing his hands, the man realized belatedly that the soup was not enough to kill anyone, so he could just ignore it or let her spit it out on the ground.

When Yan Ji came out of the bathroom, Aunt Song was urging her to drink ice water to cool down. While urging her, she also blamed her for being careless. No matter what she said, there was no impatience on the woman's face.

She puffed her cheeks slightly and lowered her head to be scolded. Gu Chenye looked at her like this and found it funny for some reason, but his tone was still cold: "Aunt Song warned you when she brought the soup. You can still get scalded like this. Do you have no ears or brains?"

"I'll go to the kitchen to get some ice water." Aunt Song found an excuse and slipped away.

Gu Chenye leaned forward and said, "Open your mouth. I'll see if the burn is serious."
