Chapter 340 She Doesn't Love You

"How do you want me to help you?" Pei Muye said, "Don't have too high hopes for me, there's nothing I can do."

Because of his relationship with Lin Xiyin, Jingjing is also considered his younger sister.

His family disagreed, but he still sided with outsiders, which made no sense.

When the time comes, Lin Xiyin will settle accounts with him.

Lu Zuofan said, "I know you're in a difficult position. It's not a big problem. Just help me arrange to meet Qu Chongyou."

That's not difficult to handle.

Pei Muye asked, "When do you plan to meet him?"

"Now."

"Now?" Pei Muye glanced at his watch. "It's not too late, but what if he's entertaining clients..."

“I inquired and found out he didn’t have any social engagements tonight and went home early.”

“You were prepared all along,” Pei Muyi said. “You always knew how to scheme against me.”

"Should we help or not?"

Pei Muye took out his phone, ready to make a call.

He asked, "So what should I say? Should I just tell him you want to see him?"

“Just say you want to see him,” Lu Zuofan said. “Make up any reason.”

"Isn't this asking me to lie? I don't want to see my brother-in-law."

Lu Zuofan thought about it and realized that the two of them had indeed made a bad impression by tricking Qu Chongyou into coming.

He said, "Then let's be honest. Qu Chongyou will probably come out of respect for you."

Pei Muye said, "Then I'll give it a try."

He dialed the number, and it rang for a while before someone answered.

Qu Chongyou was cutting fruit for his mother.

Qu Jingyou was also sprawled on the sofa outside.

Even though they have maids at home, they said they wanted to eat a fruit platter made by Qu Chongyou himself.

Qu Chongyou brought over a fruit platter and took the phone: "Muye?"

Qu Jingyou looked up.

Brother-in-law?

Why call my brother?

Qu Chongyou had no intention of letting her listen to gossip. She put down the fruit plate, made a gesture, and walked towards the study.

Pei Muye said, "It's me, brother. Are you free now?"

He was the same age as Qu Chongyou, but because of Lin Xiyin, he had to call him "brother".

I felt a bit aggrieved, but I didn't dare say anything.

After all, the wife is the most important person.

Qu Chongyou smiled and asked, "What is it?"

"I wanted to meet you for a couple of drinks," Pei Muye said. "Lu Zuofan is here too."

"Is he the one who wants to talk to me?" Qu Chongyou said. "He asked you to be his intermediary?"

“You can think of it this way,” Pei Muyi said. “This matter needs to be resolved. Otherwise, would you do me the favor and come over?”

Since Pei Muyi had already said so, Qu Chongyou had no choice but to say, "Okay, I'll go over there. Send me the address."

nailed it.

Pei Muye put down his phone: "He's coming right now. But how do you plan to talk to him?"

"Show me my sincerity."

Pei Muyi asked curiously, "What sincerity do you have in store for me?"

"If I ever do anything to betray Jingjing, I will leave with nothing."

Lu Zuofan didn't say anything before Qu Chongyou arrived.

When Qu Chongyou arrived, the three men sat together, and Lu Zuofan finally showed his sincerity.

Pei Muye glanced at him.

He knew his brother, with whom he had grown up, very well.

Yes, he is very generous to girls.

Every woman he dated received a present from him that was quite impressive.

He's never stingy when it comes to clothes, bags, and jewelry, as long as the other person wants them.

But he also knew that Lu Zuofan was sensible.

Buying clothes and bags can make a woman happy; for him, the money he spends is just a drop in the ocean.

But he couldn't possibly spend lavishly and suffer serious financial losses for a woman.

Playing around occasionally is fine, but it's impossible to truly shake his fundamental nature.

After all, there's no real affection involved; they're just objects to satisfy physical needs.

Pei Muye knew very well that rich people could be generous at times, but also stingy at others.

After all, nobody's money comes from thin air.

So when he heard Lu Zuofan say he would leave with nothing, he couldn't help but look over.

His eyes were saying, "Are you serious?"

Honestly, even he didn't believe that Lu Zuofan could love only Qu Jingyou for his entire life.

After all, he's used to being a womanizer, always chasing after other women. It seems unrealistic to expect him to commit to just one.

But now, he has used all his wealth to express his sincerity.

However, even though he was full of sincerity, Qu Chongyou didn't care much.

He said, "We, the Qu family, don't care about your assets."

“Yes, I know that you value feelings more than money,” Lu Zuofan said. “But looking around, and to be frank, aside from the mistakes I made when I was young and naive, what other man can compare to me?”

"You're really not modest."

"I want to fight for my own marriage, because it concerns my happiness for the rest of my life, and I cannot be modest."

Qu Chongyou said, "Actually, my disagreement with you being with Jingjing is only partly due to your own problems."

Lu Zuofan asked curiously, "Then what is the main reason?"

"Because of Jingjing."

Pei Muyi was also puzzled: "What's wrong with Jingjing?"

“Jingjing doesn’t love you,” Qu Chongyou said. “You have to admit that.”

Lu Zuofan was very frustrated, but it was the truth.

He said, "I admit it. Perhaps Jingjing doesn't love me yet. But at least she doesn't reject me."

"Not rejecting you, is that enough?" Qu Chongyou smiled. "Two people are going to spend their lives together. Do you think it's possible to just not reject each other based on that?"

Lu Zuofan said, "So, what you mean is, if Jingjing falls in love with me, you won't stop our marriage?"

"Don't call me 'brother,' you're a few months older than me." Qu Chongyou said disdainfully, "Whether you can make Jingjing fall in love with you depends on your ability."

Pei Muye, standing nearby, exclaimed in surprise, "I mean, even Jingjing doesn't like you, and you're already thinking of leaving with nothing?"

He assumed that the two of them must be mutually in love to be discussing marriage.

Unexpectedly, Qu Jingyou simply didn't reject Lu Zuofan.

Lu Zuofan said, "I am confident that Jingjing will accept me."

"How long will that take?" Qu Chongyou said, "I can't give you much time. In two years, I'll make my own arrangements for Jingjing's marriage."

"You want Jingjing to go through a political marriage?" Lu Zuofan frowned. "She still thinks you're the best brother in the world and loves her the most. I never thought you'd do something like this for business interests!"

"Who said I arranged a marriage for her?" Qu Chongyou said. "Besides, even if it were an arranged marriage, the other party would definitely be someone I have investigated, whose character, personality, and emotional life would be impeccable."

The implication is that, unlike you, your past life was a complete mess.

Lu Zuofan said, "Didn't you ask Jingjing's opinion back then?"

"Jingjing doesn't even reject you, so why would she reject the person I found for her?"

Qu Chongyou was incredibly sharp-tongued, and Lu Zuofan, being cautious, couldn't win an argument with him.

Pei Muye nervously drank a cup of tea beside him.

Fortunately, by the time Lin Xiyin was reunited with the Qu family, they had already made up.

If they don't reconcile, his brother-in-law Qu Chongyou will likely be a major obstacle if he tries to win Lin Xiyin back.

Lu Zuofan looked to Pei Muye for help.

I want him to say a few words.

Pei Muye avoided his gaze.

Please, he almost couldn't even save himself.
