Chapter 387: Circuitous Tactics
"No, I've already let her down enough, I can't do that again."
Xie Huaishan immediately refused.
"Think about it from another perspective. It's no different for her to be alive now than to be dead. You might as well give her a quick death. Who knows, she might even thank you in the afterlife." Xie Huailan always has his own set of twisted theories.
"Just for Tongtong to have a mother, I can't do that either."
"What Tongtong needs is a mother who cares and loves her, not a lying vegetative person."
"By the way, speaking of this, I have something to tell you."
"What?" Xie Huaishan looked at his second sister.
"You're not planning on marrying Jin Yu, are you?"
"No." He didn't hesitate at all.
"That's good. She's just a toy. It's best not to get carried away. I think even if you can't bear to kill Yang Xin, you should at least divorce her and remarry. And the person you choose to remarry must be from a powerful family. We need an alliance."
"Look, Xie Nancheng has been trying to win over the Lu and Feng families since he was a teenager."
"Those two guys really did respond to his every request."
"The Lu family left all those years ago, but I didn't expect them to come back this year. It's really troublesome."
"Although the Feng family has not publicly taken sides over the years, they have helped Xie Nancheng countless times in private."
"And we two old guys are stupid as hell."
"You married a female star, and I married a loser. You can't rely on either of them."
"I have no chance. I am already old and ugly, and it is difficult for me to marry into a wealthy family."
"But you are different. You are still in your prime. Young girls nowadays like older men. You might as well take this opportunity to choose a powerful family for marriage. Then you can marry a beautiful wife to take care of Tongtong."
"I'm not in the mood." Xie Huaishan was a little depressed.
"You know the relationship between me and He Laosi, right?"
Xie Huailan asked this suddenly.
Xie Huaishan nodded absentmindedly.
"He Laosi's younger brother, He Laoliu, still has three unmarried daughters."
"They are all around thirty years old."
"Last time when we were having dinner, He Lao Si suddenly mentioned it to me, and he also said that you seemed to have gone on a blind date with my second niece, right?"
"That happened many years ago." Xie Huaishan almost forgot about it.
"That's probably what happened. I remember Mom was quite in agreement at the time, but then you said that the second young lady's words were unpleasant to the ear and that we couldn't get along, so that's when the matter was dropped."
"She hasn't gotten married in all these years?" Xie Huaishan was also a little surprised.
Yang Xin and I have been married for several years, and Tongtong is already several years old.
"No, I said I was too proud."
"I want to see, it's the good ones that she doesn't like, and the bad ones that she doesn't like."
"He Lao Si is a man with many plans. He wouldn't bring this up for no reason. I think he heard about your wife's situation and wanted to match you up with his niece. The He family has been very successful in recent years. They have a large business and many properties in the south. I think this matter has a chance."
"Let's talk about it later." Xie Huaishan still showed no interest.
"Huaishan, don't be depressed. Go play at the subsidiary company first."
"It's just a sinecure anyway."
"They've also started making moves recently. Once we win the fight, I'll redeem your reputation for you sooner or later."
"Yeah." Xie Huaishan hummed softly.
On the other hand, Tu Ran went to the clinic to help and did not go to school.
Mu Wanjun was extremely bored and didn't want to stay in school, so she ran out to play billiards.
I just didn’t expect to meet Gu Xixing in the billiard hall.
"Miss Mu, are you free? Let's chat for a minute."
Gu Xixing was discharged from the hospital in a low-key manner because his injuries were not serious.
"Mr. Gu." There was no way Mu Wanjun didn't know this person.
Not to mention his feelings for Tu Ran.
Just to mention how many times he has sponsored scholarship programs at the Medical University, unless you are a fool, there is no way you haven't heard of this awesome person at this university.
What's more, he is Principal Wu's favorite student.
"Is it convenient, Miss Mu?" Gu Xixing said politely.
He was wearing a beige casual suit and had lost a lot of weight, probably because of his hospitalization.
But it does not affect his gentlemanly demeanor and temperament.
"Play a round with me, and I'll talk to you when I'm satisfied."
"If you lose, there's nothing to talk about."
Mu Wanjun is indeed not an easy person to talk to.
Directly attacking, Gu Xixing smiled slightly, "Thank you Miss Mu for the opportunity."
"No, it's too early to talk about this now."
"We'll talk about this after we win."
Afterwards, the two started a fierce billiards battle.
Mu Wanjun's playing style is very domineering and powerful, and it can be seen that she is a well-trained player.
Gu Xixing, on the other hand, was just the opposite. His strength was gentle and he went against the grain, appearing to be able to move a large object with a small effort.
In the middle of the process, Mu Wanjun secretly sent a WeChat message to Tu Ran.
Mu Wanjun: Tu Tu, guess what I am doing?
Tu Ran:?
Mu Wanjun: Guess what.
Tu Ran: Shopping? Playing games? Playing billiards?
Mu Wanjun: Yes, I was playing billiards. Guess who I met?
Tu Ran: Could it be Lu Zhiang?
Mu Wanjun: Bah, bah, bah, don’t mention this person, my head hurts, it’s not him.
Tu Ran: Feng Yao?
Mu Wanjun: Guess again.
Tu Ran: Gu Xixing?
Mu Wanjun: Oh my god, how did you know?
Tu Ran: You only know these few people in Xiangcheng.
Mu Wanjun: ...
Mu Wanjun: I’ll tell you later. Ha, let’s continue playing ball.
Tu Ran put down her phone and continued to be busy without asking. After all, she was not the kind of person who liked gossip.
After the game, it was a draw.
"Miss Mu is indeed a very skilled player."
"You don't have to praise me. Tell me, why do you want me to help you pursue Tu Ran?" Mu Wanjun asked directly.
Gu Xixing blushed, "No, that's not what I meant."
"What do you mean?" The little girl looked at the man in front of her domineeringly.
"I want to invite Miss Mu to work at my Chengtian Pharmaceutical."
"Hmm? A roundabout tactic? Lure me over first, because I'm Tu Ran's friend, so you'll have many opportunities to meet Tu Ran?"
Gu Xixing didn't intend to hit Mu Wanjun so bluntly, but he admitted it generously, "You knew it, so why did you expose me?"
"Hahahaha." Seeing that he admitted it honestly, Mu Wanjun looked at him with a higher opinion.
If he flatly denied it, Mu Wanjun would throw down the pool cue and leave before he could finish.
Will not give him any face.
"You're quite honest."
"No, if I were honest, I wouldn't have asked you. I do have selfish motives, I admit it."
"But I did carefully check your information, and the medicine you made is very strong."
"To be precise, you and Tu Ran are both talented people with your own methods and unique insights in pharmaceutical manufacturing. I do want to change my style and add some new elements."
"I need to think about this."
"Because I haven't thought about finding a job yet."
"Okay, if Miss Mu has thought it through, please contact me."
"Chengtian Pharmaceutical welcomes talents like you to join us." After saying that, Gu Xixing handed over the business card.
This scene happened to be seen by Feng Yao who came to find Mu Wanjun.
This guy had a bad temper and rushed over to curse, "Gu, you are a bit shameless. You can't catch up with my sister-in-law, so you start chasing her best friend?"
"You are very ambitious. Is this the kind of woman you can afford to touch? I was the one who fell in love with her first. Do you understand the principle of first come first served?" Feng Yao suddenly became like a beast with its fur standing on end, pulling Mu Wanjun behind him.
