My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 26 You’re Really Boring_1

So, this large temptation was in front of him, but he wasn’t in a rush to swallow it immediately.

He wanted to figure out their real objective.

"You’re right, indeed it’s rather peculiar. No matter if this project makes a profit or loss, Shang Family can always get their money, clearly they are trying to make it impossible for you to refuse this collaboration. Just what is this Gu Family aiming for?"

Yang Xiu stroked his chin, suddenly remembering something.

"I heard that in recent years, the Gu Family has been handed over to Gu Haichao’s son. I believe this project must be his plan."

"You mean Gu Yan? Gu Haichao’s adopted son?"

"Yes, that’s him. Speaking of which, the inside story of the Gu Family is quite melodramatically odd. Gu Yan, being an adopted son, should have been quite rejected when he entered the Gu Family with his mother. Yet, he was highly regarded as an own son by Gu Haichao, it’s now obvious that he is being nurtured to be the successor!"

Shang Jingchen leaned lazily against the bedhead: "To be surviving and standing firm in a large clan like Gu Family, it’s clear that both Gu Yan and his mother are not simple folks!"

"Mmm, actually I heard a rumor, not sure if it’s true or not. Gu Yan supposedly got married seven years ago, my god, he’s around our age, yet he got married at such a young age, it’s simply astonishing."

Yang Xiu was amazed. They, as the heirs of a big corporation, were reluctant to marry early.

They liked to play for a few more years, and only when the pressure from their family got too much when they were over thirty, only then would they get married.

I can’t comprehend, just what’s going on in Gu Yan’s mind, marrying into the tomb of marriage so early, this isn’t ancient times.

"It simply proves that Gu Yan strongly loves his wife, enough to marry at all costs." Shang Jingchen thought.

What else could make a man willingly give up his freedom? It must be deeply-engraved true love, worth disregarding everything.

Once upon a time, he also had such an impulse.

However, no one gave him the opportunity, now he somewhat envies Gu Yan.

Yang Xiu gaze was burning: "I’m quite curious, what kind of woman, possessing what kind of charm, would make a man so impulsive? However, rumors about his wife are even fewer. I only heard that she’s a very beautiful girl."

"To be able to marry into this kind of clan, she must be a well-matched, virtuous and shy daughter of a good family, otherwise she would have been rejected long ago."

Shang Jingchen sarcastically commented, the rules of a large family’s marriage alliance are always like this, always highlighting the concept of appropriate social and economic standing.

"If it’s just that, it’s not worth a man going to such lengths for her. I feel, she must be a lady with great character, an amazing beauty."

"Whoever she is, it doesn’t matter to the collaboration between Shang Family and Gu Family. However, I do want to meet this Gu Yan in person."

He always felt that this Gu Yan came with an underlying purpose.

If the collaboration is just for collaboration’s sake and if Gu Yan had any malicious intentions.

Shang Jingchen’s eyes became cold, he would not tolerate it.

"Brother, just satisfy my curiosity. When meeting Gu Yan, please mention his beloved wife. As an honored guest, he will surely allow his wife to meet us."

"You’re really boring!" Shang Jingchen was upset, it’s none of his business who someone else’s wife is.

"Because I, the young lord, have a strong feeling that this Mrs. Gu will be a key character. You know my sixth sense is always accurate."

"Oh?"

"Don’t believe me? It’s really accurate. I can tell you what you want to do right now?"

Shang Jingchen raised his eyebrows: "Let’s hear it."

Yang Xiu smirked: "You want to call our Xiao Lu, I’m not wrong, am I?"

"Hmph, I’m calling her only because it’s already her work time."

"Haha, excuses are just a cover-up. Let me make the call. You’re always yelling at her, she will definitely be scared and not willing to come anymore."
