Mu Mantong even tugged at the corner of Fu Tianci's shirt and said she was scared. After all, many celebrities ultimately ended up with their managers or committed adultery with them. She was truly scared of losing Fu Tianci.
At that time… Fu Tianci already felt that he and Mu Mantong weren't suitable for each other.
This time, when his assistant was pushed down the stairs by Auntie Wu, Mu Mantong said nothing throughout and didn't even look the least bit apologetic. She even stared at Fu Tianci's assistant in contempt, with a high-and-mighty aura. This was what made Fu Tianci decide to call off the marriage agreement.
Fu Tianci sent his assistant to the hospital, but Mu Mantong and Auntie Wu didn't look remorseful at all. Not only did they not apologize, but Mu Mantong minded that Fu Tianci carried his assistant into the car!
Staring at Mu Mantong, Fu Tianci felt that she was unbelievably foreign to him.
Fu Tianci could still remember how a blushing Mu Mantong had confessed to him on the day of their engagement.
At that time, Mu Mantong was sincere and pure, so Fu Tianci was willing to try and like Mu Mantong. Even though he failed… Fu Tianci did try hard before.
"This afternoon, if you're free, why not come back to the Fu residence with me? You can tell Huai'an and see what solution he has. Or perhaps he can teach you how to raise this matter with Old Master Fu," Lin Nuan said.
Fu Tianci nodded. "I'm free, then… I'll go over in the afternoon!"
"Sister Nuan!" The director's assistant rushed Lin Nuan again. He pointed at his watch, indicating to Lin Nuan that it was about to start and that she ought to go through her lines with the guest.
"You go get busy! I'll get going first…" Fu Tianci frantically fled upon seeing a blushing lady come down from the audience seats with a phone, looking like she was coming to take a picture with him.
…
When Gu Qingcheng received the call asking him to bring Yun Liuli to eat at the Fu residence, he had wanted to say no.
However, Yun Liuli stared at Gu Qingcheng eagerly and asked, "Are we going to Sister Xiao Nuan's house?"
He saw Yun Liuli's gaze and knew the young lady wished to go…
"You have to come! It's been so long since we got together!" Tang Zheng said. "Moreover, Bai Jinyu has registered his marriage, and we haven't had time for a gathering. It'll be considered a celebration for them today. You and Xiao Liuli have to come!"
Gu Qingcheng agreed to go.
Before Tang Zheng called, Lu Jinnan specifically reminded him not to expose Gu Qingcheng and Yun Liuli's matter, lest they chose not to come. If they really wanted to tease them, they could wait until they arrived at the Fu residence.
In the afternoon, Gu Qingcheng brought Yun Liuli to the Fu residence on time. Lu Jinnan and Tang Zheng, who followed Fu Huai'an home, were already there.
Tang Zheng hooked an arm around Lu Jinnan's neck and said through the thin layer of white smoke, "Say… how did Xiao Liuli settle the pig-headed Old Gu? Should we get tips from her?"
Yun Liuli could even handle the very difficult Gu Qingcheng, so to Tang Zheng and Lu Jinnan… Yun Liuli was absolutely an expert.
"If you want to get tips, you should restrain your mouth later!" Lu Jinnan shifted the cigarette away from his lips and said.
The car stopped in front of Tang Zheng and Lu Jinnan. Tang Zheng went up to help Yun Liuli open the front passenger door with a friendly smile. "Ya, joy puts heart into a man! Xiao Liuli, you look so radiant and glowing. It seems like you're getting along pretty well with Old Gu!"
There was a smile in Yun Liuli's eyes as she got out of the car and greeted Tang Zheng and Lu Jinnan.
With both hands in his pockets, Lu Jinnan bit a cigarette. Hearing Yun Liuli greet him, he nodded briefly, then shifted the cigarette away. He looked towards Gu Qingcheng, but his question was directed at Yun Liuli, "Xiao Liuli, do tell, how did you win over the deep and unfathomable Old Gu? I need to learn from your experience."
Gu Qingcheng's gaze was calm. He knew that perhaps the news had leaked from Auntie Li.
He was giving Yun Liuli time to think still, so he didn't answer Lu Jinnan.
"You want to hear the truth?" Yun Liuli spoke, her voice loud and clear.
Lu Jinnan retracted his gaze and stared at the young lady standing before him. "What truth…"
"Simple, do you dare to die for Sister Xiao Bai? If you dare to, then do it… If Sister Xiao Bai compromises, it means she truly loves you. If she doesn't… you can stop wasting your efforts, for it means she definitely doesn't like you!" Yun Liuli didn't even lie in front of Gu Qingcheng.
Gu Qingcheng was speechless.
Lu Jinnan and Tang Zheng looked at Gu Qingcheng in unison, a questioning look in their eyes…
Was Yun Liuli fooling them?
But seeing Gu Qingcheng's tense face, it should be true!
Truly formidable! So this was how she won over Gu Qingcheng!
The three tactics for getting one's way were, in order: weep, bleat, and threaten to kill oneself. It might work for a woman, but for a man to use it… it wouldn't really make sense.
Tang Zheng flashed a thumbs up at Yun Liuli, feeling that there wasn't a one-size-fits-all tactic.
Lin Nuan was on the way and had yet to arrive. Yun Liuli missed Yuan Yuan, so she went up to see the baby. Gu Qingcheng was surrounded by Tang Zheng and Lu Jinnan, who were eager to hear how exactly Yun Liuli forced him with her death.
Gu Qingcheng said nothing. He whipped out a cigarette, lit it, and said, "I asked her to think about it carefully! The consequences of living with me, I asked her to consider it properly!"
This meant the two of them hadn't formally gotten together.
Lu Jinnan knew about Gu Qingcheng's concerns. He pursed his lips.
"I know Old Fu has suggested it many times, but you didn't agree. This time… retire!" Tang Zheng said.
It wasn't that Gu Qingcheng didn't want to retire, but he had too many misgivings…
"It's easy for me to retire, but there will be too many subsequent problems!"
Once, Gu Qingcheng had pinned all his hopes on Yun Shoushan, but when Yun Shoushan died, Gu Qingcheng lost his last route of retreat.
Gu Qingcheng originally wanted to wait in the position for another person of Yun Shoushan's identity to come and look for him. If no such person turned up… then he would continue doing it forever.
But if he were to get together with Yun Liuli, Gu Qingcheng had to consider some things.
Lu Jinnan raised a hand and grabbed Gu Qingcheng's shoulder. "Never mind, let's take it slowly. There's got to be a way to settle this adequately!"
When Fu Huai'an came downstairs, Lin Nuan happened to just have arrived with Fu Tianci.
Lu Jinnan, Tang Zheng, and Gu Qingcheng then ended the topic.
"Young Master Fu is here too…" said the smiley Tang Zheng.
"I happened to bump into Tianci when I was recording a show at the station, so I brought him back with me…" Lin Nuan handed her jacket to the servant as she spoke to Fu Huai'an with a smile.
Fu Huai'an stood on the stairs of the entranceway, waiting for Lin Nuan to change into slippers. "Yuan Yuan is awake. Yun Liuli is keeping her company upstairs."
"I'll go up and take a look!" Lin Nuan said, then turned around to look at Fu Tianci.
On the way to the Fu residence, Lin Nuan had discussed things with Fu Tianci, and it was decided that when they arrived, Fu Tianci would tell Fu Huai'an about his desire to void the marriage agreement himself.
Hence, after changing into slippers, Fu Tianci looked at Fu Huai'an and said, "I have something to discuss with you!"
Fu Huai'an shifted his gaze from Lin Nuan to Fu Tianci.
