Mr. Gu was speechless and could only sigh deeply.
Gu's mother glared at him angrily: "I don't care what you're thinking, you'd better keep it to yourself. Yan'er is about to marry Murong Mo, don't you dare cause any trouble! Otherwise, don't blame us for not being able to stay as husband and wife!"
"I was just saying it casually, and look how angry you are." Mr. Gu quickly stepped forward. "Alright, alright, I'll listen to you. I won't say it again."
Gu's mother did not speak.
Her biggest worry wasn't the old man, but Gu Fanyan.
She could tell that although Gu Fanyan accepted the marriage readily and cooperated actively, she was not happy inside.
But now that things have come to this, what other options are there?
It was late at night, but the Murong family members were still awake.
Everyone sat around Murong's mother's hospital room.
"Xiao Mo, what did your father say?" Uncle Murong asked.
Currently, the person in charge of the Murong family is Murong Mo's father.
He was unable to attend the engagement ceremony due to work, but he is expected to come over tomorrow to apologize to the family.
Murong's mother answered before Murong Mo could, "Xiao Mo's father has spoken with me and agrees with my opinion. Let's not pursue this matter any further."
Uncle Murong was somewhat indignant: "Lin Zhibai dared to give you sleeping pills, he doesn't respect the Murong family at all!"
Murong's mother felt a little guilty. In fact, she still had no idea why she had taken the sleeping pills.
However, she had no evidence to prove that Lin Zhibai was the one who did it.
“What Xiao Mo’s father means is that we’ve got a handle on the Lin family,” Murong’s mother continued, “and we’ll get our revenge someday.”
"The most important thing for the Murong family right now is to hold a good wedding for Xiao Mo and Fan Yan. We can't let the Gu family feel that we've neglected them."
Uncle Murong stood up: "Since you've made up your minds, then so be it."
He left the ward.
Uncle Murong and Murong Tong also left.
After getting in the car, Uncle Murong asked, "Tongtong, how's that business you mentioned last time?"
Murong Tong nodded: "It's been going on all along, Dad, don't worry."
Uncle Murong sighed softly, "Once Murong Mo and Gu Fanyan got married, the second wife's status in the Murong family will be even higher. I have to be anxious to find a solution."
Murong Tong scoffed, "The Lin family alone has scared my aunt out of her wits. Isn't this bringing shame to the entire Murong family?"
“You must not underestimate the Lin family,” Uncle Murong said seriously. “Although Murong Mo and Lin Zhibai have become enemies, if we don’t handle this well, we will be implicated by Murong Mo.”
Murong Tong chuckled, "Dad, don't worry, it won't affect us."
Uncle Murong asked suspiciously, "Do you have some leverage over me?"
"Don't ask anymore, I can't say more now, you'll find out later." Murong Tong said smugly.
...
The bar is at its liveliest right now.
Shen Xinghui walked through the frenzied crowd, and many people greeted him, "Young Master Shen," "Brother Xing," etc. He just nodded hurriedly and went upstairs.
"What's wrong with him today? Is something on his mind?"
"Have you got your eye on some girl?"
"Young Master Shen's behavior is unusual. Either Young Master Lu or Young Master Lin is in trouble."
"Young Master Lu hasn't been here for many days, he'll definitely be fine."
"Stop keeping me in suspense, it's just that Young Master Lin has something to do. Don't say I didn't tell you about this chance to make a fortune. Young Master Lin has announced that he's looking for a girlfriend, and whoever it is, as long as he likes the girl he introduces, he'll give her a generous reward."
"Is that so? Is this a search for a girlfriend? It's like an ancient beauty pageant!"
"Who cares what he does? As long as he makes money."
"It seems that Young Master Shen is having a headache over this matter."
That's right, when Shen Xing returned to the private room, she left Lin Zhibai with another stack of photos.
"These are freshly delivered by my underlings, take a look." Shen Xinghui picked up a drink and downed it in one gulp.
He ran around every day for this.
If you didn't know better, you'd think he'd switched careers and become some kind of intermediary.
That's when he realized something was wrong in the private room.
It's too quiet.
Before he arrived, there was only Lin Zhibai.
Lin Zhibai didn't hesitate and picked up the photos one by one to look at them.
"Where are Rita and Connie?" Shen Xing asked back.
They often drank with Lin Zhibai.
"I didn't call them," Lin Zhibai replied while looking at the photos.
"Why?" Shen Xing asked, puzzled.
"They've already been eliminated by me, why waste my time calling them over?" Lin Zhibai raised an eyebrow.
"Young Master Lin, are you serious this time?" Shen Xinghui leaned closer to him, looking him over in disbelief.
"What do you mean by 'serious' or 'not serious'?" Lin Zhibai chuckled. "Is it so strange that I want to find a girlfriend?"
Lin Zhibai's gaze lingered on one of the photos.
He turned the photo over, and there was a note on it that described the girl: Sheng Xin.
"I want to get to know this girl." Lin Zhibai tossed the photo aside.
Shen Xinghui picked up the photo, and when she saw the girl in the photo, she was stunned.
"What are you daydreaming about?" Lin Zhibai said impatiently. "Let's have breakfast together tomorrow morning. I want to have breakfast with her."
Shen Xing agreed and got up to leave the private room.
Turning around, he found Lu Dongjue and Yun Suiwan.
The photo was placed in front of them.
The two of them glanced at it and were stunned.
"picture!"
"They look so alike!"
Yun Suiwan frowned: "You can't play like this. Does he have to date every woman in the world who looks like Sister Fanyan?!"
Shen Xinghui found it difficult to answer her question.
In recent years, the women around Lin Zhibai have come and gone like a flowing stream, and the only thing they have in common is that they all resemble Gu Fanyan to some extent.
The resemblance to the person named Sheng Xin in the photo is as high as 80%.
Especially the nose and mouth, they are almost identical.
“I think Lin Shao is obsessed.” Shen Xinghui shook his head worriedly. “It’s an illness that needs to be treated, otherwise he will only become more and more obsessed.”
“It can’t be that bad,” Yun Suiwan shook her head. “It just means that this is the type he likes. Men are very loyal.”
Lu Dongjue suddenly felt a gust of wind on his back and quickly said, "I don't pretend to be devoted."
Yun Suiwan couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
Was Lu Dongjue's reaction a bit excessive? Did he think she was targeting him? Actually, she had no such intention at all.
“If he wants to meet someone, you should introduce him to her,” Lu Dongjue didn’t want to discuss the topic any further. “Whether the girl will even be interested in him is another matter.”
It was very late, and all he wanted to do was hold his woman and go to sleep.
Shen Xinghui sighed softly, "Why doesn't Young Master Lin cherish the person he has right here? Isn't he just making things difficult for himself?"
Yun Suiwan said, "Keep an eye on Lin Zhibai. Report to us any progress he makes with this girl."
Yun Suiwan was also quite worried about Lin Zhibai's mental state.
Two days later, Shen Xinghui sent a message saying that Lin Zhibai had met with this girl named Sheng Xin.
