Jiang Zhengyu wanted to say that there was no need to go to such lengths, but when he looked up and met Qin Yao's unquestionable gaze, he unconsciously swallowed his words and nodded instead.
The more he talks now, the more serious his aunt might become in disciplining Shengyi.
“Aunt, I also have something I want to tell you,” Jiang Zhengyu said carefully, thinking of what Shengyi had just mentioned. “You and your uncle might want to investigate Mu Yichen more.”
Some things don't need to be said explicitly. With my aunt's years of experience in the business world, these words were enough to alert her. Directly pointing it out might only backfire.
Jiang Zhengyu secretly weighed the pros and cons in his mind, while pondering how to confront Mu Yichen.
Even if Sheng Yi and Xu Yanshu don't end up together, Mu Yichen is still not someone to consider.
Qin Yao was incredibly clever, and his expression immediately turned serious. He narrowed his eyes thoughtfully and said, "There's no one else here, so you can just say it directly."
"Something is definitely amiss. The overwhelmingly positive reviews of Mu Yichen make it hard not to suspect that this is a deliberate facade. Isn't it said that you can know a person's face but not their heart?"
"Moreover, since it concerns Sheng Yi's lifelong happiness, I think we should be more cautious and make a decision only after we have a clear understanding of the situation."
That makes sense.
Qin Yao nodded as if she understood, but she was so focused on ending Xu Yanshu's hopes that she acted too hastily in this matter.
They only had a very basic understanding of Mu Yichen, and had only met him a few times.
Entrusting Nannan to the other party like this would indeed be too hasty.
Suppressing her thoughts for the moment, Qin Yao looked up at the man gratefully, "Zhengyu, thank you. I think I know what to do."
At the same time, Mu Yichen pushed open the door of the private room, and the person sitting in front of the soft couch was none other than Zhou Zehao.
"They got engaged successfully?"
“No,” Mu Yichen shook his head helplessly, then recounted the whole story, “Actually, I just said it casually at the time, I didn’t expect Qin Shengyi to actually agree.”
"I was forced into this situation, so I had no choice but to take the initiative to postpone the engagement."
In private, he's just as conservative as her, so why did he resort to playing hard to get at the last minute?
Zhou Zehao's eye twitched uncontrollably, and he cursed Mu Yichen inwardly as an idiot.
Now that things have come to this point, he couldn't afford to add fuel to the fire.
Zhou Zehao slowly sat up straight, put down the cup in his hand, and said in a deep voice,
"Actually, in a sense, this is a good thing. At least the Ouyang family will feel more at ease with you. As long as they are on your side, you are more likely to win the heart of your beloved in the end."
"Right? Her parents' attitude towards me is definitely better than before," Mu Yichen nodded in agreement, his eyes gleaming with excitement, eager to try, "Big brother,"
"Just wait for my good news. It won't be long before I bring Shengyi to you."
This arrogant demeanor caused a flash of disdain to cross Zhou Zehao's eyes. He suppressed his impatience and, after a moment of silence, spoke in a low voice.
"But one should always be wary of others, Yichen. I don't need to teach you the principle of striking first, do I?"
