Wu Lizhen didn't necessarily need Meng Ye's help; she just wanted to find an opportunity to get closer to him.

Having finally managed to contact him, Wu Lizhen was unwilling to give up so easily!

However, after being reminded by Ji Mingjing, Master Meng's tone became extremely cold: "Miss Wu, you should know my rules. You'd better figure it out yourself. I don't have time to chat with you."

After saying that, Mr. Meng hung up the phone.

"Master Meng? Master Meng?!"

Wu Lizhen called out into the phone several times, but received no response.

"This is too much!" Wu Lizhen was furious, but she didn't dare to anger Master Meng, so she could only throw things in her room to vent her anger.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Wu Lizhen shouted angrily, "Who is it? Don't bother me, get out!"

"Lizhen, it's me, brother," Wu Lihong said from outside the door. "I'm coming in."

Wu Lihong pushed open the door and entered, frowning at the mess on the floor: "What happened? What's wrong?"

Wu Lizhen said indignantly, "Master Meng refused to help me, so I plan to go find him myself!"

“Lizhen, you’ll offend Master Meng if you do this. I don’t think Master Meng will change his mind if he sees you. He just returned to the country, and nobody knows where he went or what kind of person he became. You can’t go to see him like this,” Wu Lihong stopped him.

"What do you know!"

Wu Lizhen said angrily, "Master Meng won't help me because he hasn't seen me yet. As long as I go to him, he will definitely help me!"

Wu Lihong's lips twitched; he didn't know where her confidence came from.

Master Meng has lived for over forty years and has seen all kinds of women. Even if his sister dressed up like a fairy, Master Meng probably wouldn't be interested. Besides, his sister isn't even a fairy.

"Lizhen, it's not that your brother won't help you this time, but you'd better be patient and wait until Master Meng has finished dealing with his current matters before you try to get close to him. You've already waited so long, you can't even wait this little bit longer, can you?"

Wu Lizhen pouted and nodded with some disappointment: "I understand, but big brother, you have to help me find someone to send Wu Xiaoxiao to Pei Kaiwen's room, and then have reporters take photos of them in bed together. As long as Wu Xiaoxiao's scandal is exposed, Gu Chenge will no longer want her."

"No way!" Wu Lihong frowned deeply. "With Wu Xiaoxiao involved in a scandal, what man would want to marry her?"

If Wu Xiaoxiao loses her value, how can she be sold for a good price?

Wu Lizhen thought of this and pouted, saying, "Then, how about we don't expose it? We'll only let Gu Chenge see it, is that alright?"

That's possible.

Wu Lihong asked, "Are you sure you don't want to go find Master Meng?"

Wu Lizhen raised her hand and promised, "As long as you help me with this and keep it a secret from my parents, I will definitely not go to see Master Meng."

Because Meng Ye is about the same age as her mother, her parents would definitely not agree to her finding an older man.

Finally, Wu Lizhen added sweetly, "Besides, if I could marry a big shot like Master Meng, that would be a huge win. Our Wu family could rise to the next level in no time!"

“Lizhen, I’ve said it before, our family doesn’t need you to marry into another family. Just find someone of equal social standing to marry. Our Wu family’s daughters don’t have to worry about finding a husband.”

"I don't want to marry one of those weak, pathetic men. Master Meng is so outstanding. If I miss this opportunity, I'll regret it for the rest of my life!"

"Master Meng will definitely not agree to that."

Wu Lihong was extremely troubled. His sister made it sound as if Master Meng would marry her as long as she was willing to do so.

He sighed inwardly, thinking to himself that his younger sister was truly ignorant and arrogant.

"How will I know if I don't try? Don't worry, brother, I know what I'm doing," Wu Lizhen said firmly.

Seeing her expression, Wu Lihong knew that saying anything more would be useless, so he said calmly, "Alright, anyway, you're already an adult, and you should learn to handle some things yourself. Don't always let others clean up your messes."

"Hmph, don't always provoke me. Get back to work."

Wu Lizhen didn't like listening to his lectures, so she pushed him out of the room and locked the door from the inside.

Wu Lihong stood outside the door, sighed heavily, and walked towards the study. At the same time, he took out his phone to contact his subordinates and handed over the matter to them.

???

In the study of the Ji family's Wuyai Courtyard in Xizhou City.

Ji Mingjing stood by the window with a smile on his lips. He had been worried that Gu Si would ask for an exorbitant price, but now that Master Meng had delivered the message, it had actually done him a great favor.

After dialing Gu Si's number, Ji Mingjing went straight to the point: "Your wife agreed to come to Xizhou City, but the conditions she mentioned are for you to set."

The man on the other end of the phone had just gotten off the plane and tried calling his wife, but no one answered. Then Ji Mingjing called. Hearing his words, the man raised an eyebrow in surprise: "So my wife spoils me this much!"

Ji Mingjing's lips twitched violently twice. How shameless!

"If you're the one making the terms, I think I have some information you'd really like. How about we make a deal?"

"Not interested."

Gu Yunzhen's voice was cold and clear.

Ji Mingjing's eyelids twitched, and his tone was slightly seductive: "It concerns your second brother's girlfriend. Don't you want to know? Whether your second brother breaks up with her or not is up to you."

A glint of light flashed in Gu Yunzhen's deep eyes, but he said casually, "Oh, I wish him to find someone better."

"You're such a good brother!"

Ji Mingjing deliberately emphasized the words "younger brother".

Gu Yunzhen scoffed coldly: "Get lost!"

"Are you genuinely unaware, or are you pretending not to know? My second brother left Gu Qi on Yezhou Island to protect his girlfriend 24/7. Do you think your information is of any use to me?"

Gu Yunzhen spoke the last two words with extreme irony.

Ji Mingjing: "..."

He genuinely didn't know!

"Fine, I'll just tell you directly. Pei Kaiwen went to Yezhou Island. The Wu family wants to pair him up with Wu Xiaoxiao. Remember to tell Gu Qi, otherwise your second brother will be wearing a green hat."

Who told you that?

Given Ji Mingjing's personality, she would never pay attention to things she doesn't care about.

Ji Mingjing uttered two words: "Master Meng".

In an instant, a cold glint flashed in Gu Yunzhen's eyes, and she lowered her voice, saying, "You've been in contact with him all along?"

Ji Mingjing keenly sensed that something was wrong with his tone. Although he didn't know what was going on, he told the truth: "No, this is the first time he has contacted me since he returned to China."

Gu Yunzhen said cautiously, "If you know his address, notify me immediately."

"Can I know what happened?"

"No, that's classified."

"Okay, I understand."

Ji Mingjing paused, then said, "I might know where he is."

Gu Yunzhen's pupils suddenly darkened, and she said in a deep voice, "You contacted Gong Wujue."

The next second, Gu Yunzhen called out to him: "Wait, check everyone around you first, I'll have Gong Wujue find you."
