Qin Yiheng moved his right thumb away from the words "Hang up".

He asked, "What important matter?"

Su Tingbai on the other end of the phone sighed and said, "Hey, I was just joking with you. Considering how good our two families are, could you help your brother this once?"

Qin Yiheng sneered: "Whose side are you on?"

Su Tingbai immediately backed down: "Helping a brother this once is considered doing a good deed for the day. You will surely be blessed by the Bodhisattva and all your wishes will come true!"

May the Bodhisattva protect you?

May all your wishes come true?

Qin Yiheng glanced at Gu Yilou, lowered his gaze, and said calmly, "What do you want me to help with?"

The other person is always traveling the world and rarely makes more than three phone calls a year. Now they're suddenly asking him for help?

Something unusual must be going on!

Qin Yiheng wanted to hear what the other party had to say.

Su Tingbai, unaware of his thoughts, changed her previous playful demeanor and said seriously, "Actually, it's nothing much. I'm currently in a relationship. My girlfriend has a child, but she's beautiful, has a good personality, and her skills are even more varied than mine. She always makes my heart flutter."

"Ahem, your uncle and aunt think that because she's been married before, has a child, and her ex-husband has a special status, they just won't agree to her marrying into the family. So, could you help me persuade your mother to go to my house and talk to my parents?"

Qin Yiheng frowned as he listened.

Although Bai Cha Su is unreliable, she still has the proper manners and upbringing, even to the point of being overly gentlemanly. She would never use the word "your mother" to refer to the aunt she has been calling for over twenty years.

Is Bai Cha Su being targeted?

In response, Qin Yiheng calmly replied, "My mother doesn't understand the law and can't interfere in your family's affairs. Besides, my mother isn't some kind of saint. Do you think she can just go to your house and get your aunt and uncle to agree immediately?"

He said "uncle and aunt" to indicate that he understood what Bai Cha Su was saying.

"Of course! Everyone knows how good your mom and my mom's relationship is, right? Just talk to your mom and you won't have to worry about this. My parents will definitely agree!"

Su Tingbai spoke with considerable confidence, and Qin Yiheng even heard him pat his chest.

That was really poor acting.

Qin Yiheng was worried that the person behind this wouldn't believe him easily, so he sneered, "I think if you took a rope back and hung it on the tree in front of your house, your parents would definitely agree without saying a word."

Su Tingbai on the other end of the phone immediately became anxious: "No, please help me just this once! We've been brothers for so many years, and now that I'm in trouble, shouldn't you lend a hand? I've never asked anyone for anything in my life, I'm only asking you this once! Just this once, isn't that enough?"

Based on his statement that he had never asked anyone for anything in his life, Qin Yiheng was even more certain that this guy was being targeted!

A glint of shrewdness flashed in his narrowed eyes as he feigned compromise and said, "Alright, I'll help you this time, but you have to tell me who the woman you want to marry is?"

"Uh, why are you asking this? Can I not tell you?"

"Tell me first who the woman you want to marry is and what her character is like, otherwise I can't help you."

Qin Yiheng said in a deep voice that the more he refused to agree, the more the people behind him would believe that he had fallen into a trap.

"Well...I..."

Su Tingbai hesitated, seemingly somewhat embarrassed.

Qin Yiheng raised an eyebrow. This guy actually gets embarrassed sometimes?

He said calmly, "If it doesn't work, you don't need to ask me for help. I can't help with this kind of thing."

"Wait, wait a minute! I'll talk, I'll talk, okay?" Su Tingbai shouted anxiously.

"What's your name?"

To be honest, Qin Yiheng was genuinely curious.

She has a child, and her ex-husband has a special status. He must be a well-known person in the capital city, otherwise Uncle Su and the others would not be so opposed, unless they see each other all the time and feel extremely awkward.

But then the phone went silent again.

Just as Qin Yiheng's patience was about to run out, Su Tingbai finally uttered a name.

Qin Yiheng raised an eyebrow in surprise.

How could it be her?

Even Gu Yilou was shocked, and the two looked at each other in disbelief.

Su Tingbai on the other end of the phone hadn't heard a sound and thought the call had been hung up. She kept looking at the screen until she finally couldn't stand it anymore.

"Hey, I've already said her name, why are you all so quiet? Damn it, you're not going to back out, are you? A real man doesn't go back on his word!"

The man on the other end of the phone was still rambling on.

"Who said they went back on their word?" Qin Yiheng pressed his temples, speechless. "You've dropped such explosive news, you should at least give us some time to react, right?"

"Explode? I think she's great. It's her ex-husband who's a jerk. I've known that for a long time. If he dares to show his face in front of me, I'll beat him to a pulp!" Su Tingbai said, extremely agitated.

Qin Yiheng said quietly, "Her ex-husband has returned to the capital."

"Huh?" Su Tingbai's eyes widened, then she said dismissively, "So what? She's my girlfriend now, she certainly doesn't care whether her ex-husband is alive or dead."

Qin Yiheng had no interest in interfering in other people's lives: "Well, whatever makes you happy."

"So, have you agreed to this?"

"Let me think about it."

"Why are you still thinking about it? Didn't I say I'd plead for me if I told you who it was?"

Su Tingbai even suspected that Qin Yiheng was deliberately playing a trick on him.

Qin Yiheng said reasonably, "My mother is old and can't handle this kind of shock. I'll go and check on things first, and then I'll call you."

"You're going in person?"

"Is that not allowed?" Qin Yiheng asked back.

Su Tingbai said excitedly, "Okay, of course! When are you going? Tonight?"

Qin Yiheng nodded and said, "There's no time like the present, let's do it tonight."

"Then it's a deal! When I get married, I'll definitely give you a huge best man red envelope, hehehe..."

"Don't smile so lewdly, goodbye."

After Qin Yiheng finished speaking, he ended the call.

He looked up and met Gu Yilou's worried gaze, then smiled and said, "I thought I was going on a long trip, but I didn't expect them to come to me on their own. Well, let's just resolve this once and for all, so my brother Lou won't have to worry about my life every day."

Gu Yilou's eyelids twitched, and he said helplessly, "Don't talk nonsense."

After a moment, he asked, "How many people do you plan to take with you?"

Qin Yiheng hesitated for two seconds before saying, "Just bring the 'Silent One' as usual when going out. Bringing too many might arouse suspicion, and the other party might not show up at all."

Gu Yilou disagreed with his risky approach and advised, "How can you be sure the other side will show up? What if they are just mercenaries you paid to kill? Why don't you find an excuse to cancel tonight, or I can arrange a banquet that you have to attend, and we can discuss this further."

Seeing how much he cared about him, Qin Yiheng's smile deepened, and he leaned back lazily in his chair.
