077: How can I have the nerve to ask Gu Jun for help?

"I can get along well with many people's wives. I don't know why, maybe it's because I have a good temper."

Lin Meixian smiled and said, "Don't say I'm back late. Haven't you been busy lately? Before I left, I asked Auntie to make you some soup. Did you have some when you got back?"

Although Lin Meixian is very busy, she still cares about Wen Zhicheng.

Wen Zhicheng felt both heartbroken and guilty when he thought of the land that Hua Hu had bought.

"Meixian, I have something to tell you."

Wen Zhicheng briefly talked about the project he and Shen Shuping were going to cooperate on. When he mentioned that the land was bought by Huahu, he paid attention to Lin Meixian's expression while speaking. Sure enough, when Lin Meixian heard that it was the land that Xu Qinghua had bought before, she looked stunned.

"I was thinking of buying the land with Shen Shuping before telling you. I've heard Qinghua's plans for that piece of land, and I thought you'd be happy if we could realize his vision even though he's gone. I didn't expect Huahu to intervene and buy the land away!"

Lin Meixian looked stunned, then relieved and said, "It's amazing that you still remembered his last wish, but he's gone now, and we should all move on. The fact that you didn't win the bid for the land might be God's will, a reminder for us to let go of the past."

Lin Meixian was very open-minded, but Wen Zhicheng was secretly anxious.

Lin Meixian actually doesn't care about that piece of land?

Then Wen Zhicheng couldn't ask her for help.

Wen Zhicheng pondered for a long time and used Shen Shuping as an excuse, "Shen Shuping really wants to bid for that piece of land. His important cooperation with me is based on this. If the cooperation fails, I am afraid that Yiyi and Shen Yan's engagement will be changed."

Lin Meixian's pretty brows knitted together slightly. "It's not right for a stepmother like me to bring up these things. After all, Chen Yan was Yaoyao's fiancé before. If I say anything bad about him, it would seem like I'm deliberately stirring up trouble. You brought up this topic first today, so I'll just say it in passing. Since Qinghua's incident, the Shen family's attitude towards Yaoyao has deteriorated significantly. If any setbacks in your cooperation with Shen Shuping will affect Yiyi and Shen Yan's engagement, then marrying into the Shen family wouldn't be a good choice for Yiyi!"

Lin Meixian's words made sense. Wen Zhicheng sighed and said, "I'm attracted to Chen Yan. The second-generation rich people of the same age as Shen Yan are not as practical and capable as him. Look, I remember Gu Jun works at Huahu. I heard that Huahu's CEO Jiang thinks highly of Gu Jun. I was thinking about whether I could ask Gu Jun to pass a message to CEO Jiang. I want to meet with CEO Jiang."

Lin Meixian looked at Wen Zhicheng in surprise, "You asked Gu Jun to act as a matchmaker?"

"I know the rules, I won't let him help me for nothing—"

Lin Meixian interrupted Wen Zhicheng's promise, "I'm not trying to get a bribe for Gu Jun. I'm thinking about Yiyi hiring internet trolls to attack Yaoyao a few days ago. I recently asked Yaoyao and Gu Jun to come to my house for dinner, but they both said they didn't have time. How can I have the nerve to ask Gu Jun to help me make connections? After all, it's not you who wants to develop that piece of land, but you and Shen Shuping are collaborating on it. This matter is related to whether Yiyi will marry into the Shen family. I don't think Gu Jun is stupid enough to help the Shen Yan family make money... He is a powerless programmer and can't help Yaoyao. It's already hard enough. Do I have to force him to do anything as her mother-in-law?"

Lin Meixian didn't blame Wen Zhicheng at all, but every word she said seemed to be scolding Wen Zhicheng.

Wen Zhicheng was very embarrassed.

If Wen Zhicheng had known that Hua Hu would intervene and buy the land away, he would have tried his best to stop Wen Yiyi from hiring a group of internet trolls to discredit Xu Yao a few days ago!

Now, Wen Yiyi has offended Xu Yao completely because of this matter. How can she ask Xu Yao's husband for help now?

Lin Meixian added slowly, "Yaoyao even lost her job at the advertising company because of this. I heard Yiyi went to the advertising company many times to ask Yaoyao to change the plan. Of course, I still say that as elders, it's best for us to stay out of the conflict between the two children and let them fight it out on their own!"

This is not a conflict between two children, this is a comprehensive real estate project with a total investment of tens of billions!

Wen Zhicheng was anxious and angry, but he couldn't force Lin Meixian to help, so he said embarrassedly: "Blame it on me, blame it on me, I spoiled Yiyi. I was also affected by Shen Shuping's anxiety and didn't consider Xu Yao and Gu Jun's emotions! Let's put it this way, Shen Shuping is also trying to make an appointment with Mr. Jiang, I'd better wait for news from him and see the situation first."

In other words, if Shen Shuping fails to get things done, he has to ask Gu Jun for help?

Lin Meixian did not expose the little trick hidden in Wen Zhicheng's words.

This is the case for remarried couples, especially those who each have children, as there will always be a layer of separation.

Wen Zhicheng and Shen Shuping had never mentioned their plan to buy the land to Lin Meixian, and only now that an accident had happened did they ask Lin Meixian for help.

Lin Meixian turned around and called Gu Jun.

After hearing the whole story, Gu Jun was unsure of Lin Meixian's attitude. "Do you want me to help Uncle Wen?"

"Why do you think so?"

Lin Meixian disliked her son-in-law for being too honest. "The Wen family's property has nothing to do with Yaoyao. The money your uncle Wen earns now is enough. I don't want him to work too hard."

Lin Meixian meant not to help Wen Zhicheng.

Although Gu Jun wouldn't change his mind about giving the land to Wen Zhicheng just because of Lin Meixian's phone call, he was still very happy that his mother-in-law Lin Meixian was not foolish. After all, helping Wen Zhicheng's business would not benefit Xu Yao at all, and would only encourage Wen Yiyi to bully Xu Yao!

This is also the reason why Gu Jun has always treated Wen Yiyi's "donation" coldly.

If Wen Yiyi encounters difficulties, Gu Jun is willing to help Wen Yiyi overcome the difficulties in order to repay Wen Yiyi's donation that year.

But Wen Yiyi was clearly enjoying a comfortable life right now, and Gu Jun wasn't sure how to repay her kindness. He feared that any help he offered the Wen family would cause tenfold harm to Xu Yao. There was no other way. Wen Yiyi was obsessed with targeting Xu Yao, ready to bite her at the first opportunity. Gu Jun couldn't convince himself to aid and abet the evil.

"I'll listen to you."

Gu Jun admired Lin Meixian's clarity of mind, but he couldn't understand why such a clear-headed Lin Meixian would marry Wen Zhicheng. For Xu Yao's sake, Gu Jun didn't want Lin Meixian to suffer in the Wen family, so he and Lin Meixian rehearsed the lines in advance: "If Uncle Wen must ask me for help, you don't have to refuse, just let him come to me."

Lin Meixian smiled. "Is Yaoyao too busy lately? Ask her when she's free. I'll go to Shenghai Garden and cook for you."

Lin Meixian has money to treat people outside, but the food outside still feels different from home-cooked meals.

Lin Meixian is not as good at cooking as Xu Qinghua, but she has two specialties that Xu Yao likes.

Lin Meixian knew that young couples needed independent space, and she had never been to Shenghai Garden to disturb Xu Yao and Gu Jun's world of two. This was the first time she said she wanted to go there.

In the evening, Xu Yao returned home after finishing her work at the studio. After Gu Jun conveyed Lin Meixian's intentions, Xu Yao hadn't reacted yet and happily boasted to Gu Jun: "My mother cooks delicious food, you are so lucky!"

Gu Jun pointed in the direction of the bedroom and said, "Didn't she find out that we were sleeping in two rooms when she arrived?"

"……ah?!"

Xu Yao's mind worked quickly. "When she comes, I'll pack up the bedding in my room in advance, and then move back when she leaves!"
