"Yanran, what's wrong with you...?"

Wu Qixuan looked completely surprised.

"Uncle Wu, since you're already here, why don't you have a meal together before you leave?"

Liu Yanran casually took Wu Qixuan's arm and said in a coquettish tone, "Yanping and I are very close. It's rare for you to come to my house. If you don't finish your meal before leaving, people will say that I'm neglecting you."

Just as Wu Qixuan was about to refuse, Liu Yanran spoke up first: "Uncle Wu, there's something I wanted to tell you about Yanping."

"Is it related to Yanping?"

Wu Qixuan frowned slightly.

What kind of act are these father and daughter putting on?

"Uncle Wu, let me tell you the truth!"

Liu Yanran took a deep breath and said seriously, "There is indeed some misunderstanding between Yanping and me, but I really want to help her!"

"What exactly are you trying to say?" Wu Qixuan was still a little confused.

"Haven't Yanping been smeared by some media outlets and been involved in many scandals these past few days?"

Liu Yanran smiled slyly and said, "Perfect, I know some people in these media outlets. With just a word from you, Uncle Wu, I can make these media outlets stop smearing Yanping and even publicly apologize to her."

"Are you really willing to do this?"

Wu Qixuan immediately became interested.

It concerns his daughter's future in the entertainment industry, so he would certainly be willing to help her if possible.

However, he also knew that Wu Yanping was being smeared by the media, and the mastermind behind it was Liu Yanran.

However, lacking concrete evidence and being in the Liu family's territory, he couldn't directly expose the truth.

"Uncle Wu, let's sit down and talk this over!"

Liu Yanran did not agree immediately, but instead took Wu Qixuan's hand and walked into the hall.

Wu Qixuan hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse.

Standing in the living room, Liu Jingxian, with a somewhat gloomy expression, had a look of confusion in his eyes.

"Yanran, what brings you here?"

"Dad, I just got here! I ran into Uncle Wu right at the door!"

As she said this, Liu Yanran also gave Liu Jingxian a wink, seemingly unintentionally.

Actually, she had already arrived outside the door.

She had overheard her father Liu Jingxian and Wu Qixuan's conversation.

She didn't know what her father wanted to talk to Wu Qixuan about, but since he had specifically asked him to come, it must be something important.

Since her father couldn't keep her, she definitely had to find a way to help him stay.

"Then let's call your Uncle Wu over to sit down!"

Liu Jingxian secretly cast an admiring glance at Liu Yanran, and a gentle smile reappeared on his face.

Wu Qixuan didn't stand on ceremony and sat down again on the sofa opposite Liu Jingxian, saying directly, "Yanran, you just said you could make those media outlets stop smearing Yanping. Are you sure you can do that?"

"It should work!"

Liu Yanran nodded uncertainly, then changed the subject, "But Uncle Wu, since my father has something to discuss with you, you two talk first, and I'll explain in detail after you're done."

Without waiting for Wu Qixuan to say anything more, she hurriedly turned and walked away.

Wu Qixuan frowned slightly.

He finally understood Liu Yanran's purpose.

In order to keep him, I talked to Liu Jingxian about some kind of cooperation.

Knowing the other party's intentions, and remembering Liu Yanran's condition from earlier, he still compromised, "Liu Jingxian, how do you want to cooperate? Tell me."

"Old Wu, you should know that I've been thinking about building an industrial park recently, right?"

Liu Jingxian stopped beating around the bush and said directly, "I would like to invite you to invest in our company."

"I've heard about it, but..."

Wu Qixuan hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I'm not very interested in your project."

"Old Wu, don't be so quick to refuse. This project will indeed require a lot of investment, but if it succeeds, the returns will be very high..."

To persuade Wu Qixuan, Liu Jingxian patiently explained a great deal.

However, no matter how eloquently he spoke, Wu Qixuan remained unmoved.

At this moment, Liu Yanran appeared again.

"Dad, Uncle Wu, how did your talks go?"

With a beaming smile and a friendly voice, she continued without waiting for Liu Jingxian and Wu Qixuan's reply, "Uncle Wu, it would be wonderful if you and my dad could go into business together!"

"After all, Yanping and I are classmates. Even if we had some unpleasantness before because of some small things, it's not something that can't be resolved."

“As long as you and my dad complete the business deal, my little matter with Yanping can be resolved at any time.”

"Wouldn't it be nice if our two families could get closer together in the future?"

"Uncle Wu, what do you think?"

These words were spoken so eloquently and flawlessly.

However, Wu Qixuan's expression remained as gloomy as ever.

Liu Yanran's words seemed to be persuasion, but in reality, they were a disguised threat.

If he accepts Liu Jingxian's suggestion and invests in building that park together, Liu Yanran and his daughter Wu Yanping will become friends.

Otherwise, the media's smear campaign might never have stopped.

This father and daughter really have a perfect chemistry, one singing and the other harmonizing.

"Uncle Wu, do you think I'm right?" Liu Yanran pressed.

Wu Qixuan hesitated for a moment, then said ambiguously, "This is a big matter. Let me go back and think about it for a few days."

"I see..."

A hint of disappointment flashed across Liu Yanran's face, and her smile gradually disappeared.

However, after exchanging a glance with Liu Jingxian and seeing him nod subtly, she still smiled and said, "In that case, Uncle Wu, please go back and think it over carefully. We'll wait for your good news!"
