Chapter 551 Good Brother, I'll Let You Have Liu Nanshi
"No, you can't marry Nan Shi!"
Xiao Qingyuan suddenly stood up: "Gu Qianhan, it's one thing that you stole my woman in your past life, but why are you trying to steal my woman again in this life?!"
Gu Qianhan, who was standing to the side, ate her food slowly and deliberately, then glanced at Xiao Qingyuan and asked, "Your woman? Who?"
"Nan Shi! Who else could it be but Nan Shi?!"
"When did she become your woman? Did you get engaged to her? I've never heard you mention it."
"Then I'll tell you now, I'm getting married to Nan Shi right away!"
"Really? I find it hard to believe. I've never heard Liu Nanshi mention that before!"
“Everything I said is true. Of course, Nan Shi wouldn’t tell you. She’s too shy to talk about such things everywhere.”
Xiao Qingyuan was extremely anxious, and his tone even carried a hint of pleading: "Gu Qianhan, I know that you don't actually like Nan Shi that much. It's just that your family arranged for you to marry into the Liu family, so you just agreed."
"Let Nan Shi go. She doesn't like you at all. The person she likes has always been me. I like her too. We are kindred spirits, soulmates, and have a deep connection!"
"Let me tell you the truth, I will marry no one but Nan Shi in this life. I don't want anyone else but her, and I will never take a concubine. I want to be with her for life!"
"Gu Qianhan, can you do all this? You simply can't! So, let go!"
After listening to him ramble on for a while, Gu Qianhan, having eaten and drunk his fill, sighed and said, "Then I'll send someone to the Liu family another day to ask. If it's true that you two are getting married, then Liu Nanshi will be yours. We're brothers, there's no need for us to turn against each other over a woman."
Xiao Qingyuan was stunned. He hadn't expected Gu Qianhan to agree so readily: "You, you're willing to let Nan Shi and me be together? You're not going to compete with me for her?"
"Didn't you already say that you and Liu Nanshi are soulmates? Since she likes you, why would I try to take her away? I'd feel uncomfortable marrying her."
"You really think so?"
Xiao Qingyuan was overjoyed: "Hahaha, that's great! Qianhan, I knew you weren't such a petty person!"
"We had many misunderstandings in our past lives, but none of those misunderstandings have happened in this life. We can be best brothers for life!"
"Come, come, let me pour you some wine. Let's drink until we're drunk tonight!"
Yuan Zheng stroked his chin, looking at Xiao Qingyuan's eager manner and then at Gu Qianhan's indifferent expression without any emotional fluctuation, and couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
He had been "good brothers" with Gu Qianhan for a long time and knew that Gu Qianhan was not so easy to talk to. If he could give up his future wife, wouldn't that be nonsense?
The claim that Liu Nanshi likes Xiao Qingyuan is pure nonsense. They've barely met, yet Gu Qianhan, being so clever, didn't bother to verify it and simply believed Xiao Qingyuan.
However, Gu Qianhan really looked down on Liu Nanshi. He didn't like her at all. He probably already knew how vicious Liu Nanshi was in private, so he was taking the opportunity to get rid of her.
Regardless of the circumstances, Yuan Zheng felt that Gu Qianhan was definitely up to something.
He felt very uncomfortable seeing Xiao Qingyuan suddenly change his attitude towards Gu Qianhan, and the two of them were as close as brothers.
He couldn't help but say, "Qingyuan, you should calm down. Do you really understand Liu Nanshi? You've only met her a few times. Do you know what she does in private? She's not a good person at all. Qingyuan, think twice before marrying her!"
Xiao Qingyuan's face darkened: "Yuan Zheng, why are you talking badly about Nan Shi again?"
Yuan Zheng looked puzzled: "Again? Did I say that before?"
"You said that in your past life!"
"What past life? Qingyuan, what's wrong with you? Are you possessed by an evil spirit? If Fazhen Temple can't exorcise it, go to a Taoist temple and find a Taoist priest! You look terrifying right now!"
"You're the one possessed by an evil spirit! I'm perfectly fine! I'm warning you, you're not allowed to say a single bad word about Nan Shi again, or I'll settle all the scores between you and me, including the one about you sleeping with Chu Yanluo!"
Yuan Zheng's pupils suddenly contracted. Oh no, Xiao Qingyuan already knew that he had slept with Chu Yanluo!
How did he know?
What Chu Yanluo said?
This woman is incredibly stupid. She even told Xiao Qingyuan something like this. No wonder Xiao Qingyuan didn't like her and liked Liu Nanshi instead!
He forced a smile: "Qingyuan, what are you saying? I have nothing to do with Chu Yanluo. I've always valued brotherhood. Women are like clothes, but brothers are like limbs. You know me!"
"hypocritical!"
Xiao Qingyuan snorted coldly: "This is none of your business. You can leave now. I need to have a drink with Qian Han alone. It's been a long time since I've had a proper talk with Qian Han. It's time to rekindle our brotherhood."
The color drained from Yuan Zheng's face instantly; his worst fears had come true.
He gained Xiao Qingyuan's trust by sowing discord between Xiao Qingyuan and Gu Qianhan and stirring up trouble between them. In addition, he was extremely willing to spend money, which allowed him to barely become friends with the heir of the Prince of Ning's mansion and the second son of the Duke of Zhenguo.
Now things are much better. The barriers between the two noble families have been eliminated, and their relationship has become closer, while he, the son of the Earl's family, has been ostracized.
Yuan Zheng wanted to slap himself. If Xiao Qingyuan liked Liu Nanshi, then let him marry her. Why did he have to gossip and say such bad things? Now he's caught in the middle.
He could only say dryly, "Then you guys chat. I'm a bit tired, so I'll head back to my residence first. Just eat and drink as you please today, and put it all on my tab. We're all brothers, so don't be shy with me."
Hearing Yuan Zheng's generosity, Xiao Qingyuan's expression softened a little.
If he hadn't been reborn, he naturally wouldn't have cared about the cost of this meal. But in his previous life, he was so desperately poor that he had a completely different understanding and desire for money. So much so that when Yuan Zheng treated him to such a large meal, most of his anger dissipated.
Seeing that Xiao Qingyuan's complexion had improved, Yuan Zheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't say anything more and left with his servant.
Xiao Qingyuan raised his wine glass and said solemnly, "Qianhan, I am truly impressed and grateful for your generosity in granting my request. I toast you! Tonight, let's drink until we're drunk!"
As he spoke, he downed the wine in one gulp.
Gu Qianhan held the wine cup but didn't drink any. Seeing that Xiao Qingyuan had finished his wine, he said indifferently, "Jixiang, pour some wine for the young master. Can't you see that his wine cup is empty? Fill it up."
Jixiang responded and hurriedly went to pour wine for Xiao Qingyuan.
Half an hour later, Xiao Qingyuan lay slumped on the table, unconscious.
