Chapter 210: Introduction
As Zhuo Yu was intent on vilifying himself and working with Ouyang Cong and Ouyang Lan, Fan Mingzhu, who ate and ate without restraint, was fooled by them and kept nodding his head.
"I know. I'll go back and tell my eldest brother that I don't like you. I won't say you're a traitor, but I'll say you're cold and don't like to talk. I just don't like you."
"Miss Fan, you are really smart. This way, Mr. Zhuo will have explained to his godfather, and you will have explained to your father when you go back. There are many good men, and Miss Fan will definitely be able to find a better one." Ouyang Lan immediately complimented.
Zhuo Yu raised his eyes and glanced at Ouyang Lan. He didn't expect that this little girl was quite good at talking. There was a clever and cunning look in her eyes.
He really didn't expect that the Ouyang family had such a clever little daughter.
Fan Mingzhu, who was eating seafood, used to dislike Ouyang Lan because the way Ouyang Lan looked at Zhuo Yu made her feel threatened.
But now she knew Zhuo Yu was a man of few words, which meant that no woman would like him. Even if Ouyang Lan liked him, she couldn't get him, so she talked and laughed with Ouyang Lan, and found that Ouyang Lan spoke quite nicely.
"Of course I'm smart, I'm my father's daughter." Fan Mingzhu smiled proudly.
The three of them immediately hugged her, and Zhuo Yu breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't expect that he could fool this woman like this. This time he was really grateful to Ouyang Cong and Ouyang Lan.
Thinking that his adoptive father's goal could not be achieved, he couldn't help feeling happy.
Besides, Fan Mingzhu looked down on him, so it was none of his business. Even if his adoptive father was angry, it would be useless.
If they wanted to force the match, the godfather would have to go back to Chen State and ask Fan Dahu to force Fan Mingzhu to agree. Given how favored Fan Mingzhu was, Fan Dahu would probably not want her to marry a man she didn't like.
The four of them ate a table full of seafood. The atmosphere was quite good. When Fan Mingzhu was not acting crazy, she was quite normal.
She just likes others to flatter her, make her the center of attention, and say good things about her.
Zhuo Yu looked at Fan Mingzhu like this and sneered in his heart. He thought of what Mo Yunzhu said and the humiliation Jun Huolan suffered at the hands of the Fan family when he was in Chen State.
But he didn't need to do any of these, as Mo Yunzhu had already told him that she had the final say, and all he had to do was to clear himself from the situation, but he couldn't really become the son-in-law of the Fan family.
When the four of them returned to the Ouyang Mansion, they were already talking and laughing. Of course, as soon as they entered, Zhuo Yu's face turned cold.
Zhuo Hongli glanced at Zhuo Yu, who had no expression on his face. Fan Mingzhu, however, walked directly to her brother and said unhappily, "Brother, I don't like Zhuo Yu. He is cold and boring, like a blockhead. I don't want to marry him."
After hearing this, Fan Fengze was stunned. Didn’t his sister say before that she had met Zhuo Yu and thought he was handsome and liked him very much?
"Brother, did you hear me? I don't like him anymore!" Fan Mingzhu said proudly, stomping her feet.
Everyone was in the hall, and everyone looked embarrassed for a moment.
"Cong'er, what happened?" Old Master Ouyang asked immediately.
Ouyang Cong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I don't know about that either. We just went to Haiguanlou for dinner and then walked around the street for a while. Everything was fine, but Brother Zhuo just didn't like to talk much."
"I'm sorry, I don't like talking much." Zhuo Yu also said this.
Fan Mingzhu thought that they would have to put on a show when they came back, so she immediately said forcefully, "You are just a blockhead, you can't even speak well, and you are cold. I am looking for a husband who is gentle and considerate, not a popsicle! Brother, he is good-looking, but after looking at him for a long time, I don't think he is that good. I don't want him to be my husband. There are so many young talents in Qingyun Country, why not let Uncle Ouyang introduce me to a few gentle and jade-like gentlemen?"
"Sister!" Fan Fengze had never thought that his sister would be so outspoken. His expression became even colder as he looked at Zhuo Yu. "What's wrong with you? You can't even coax my sister?"
Zhuo Yu's mouth twitched as he said, "If I can coax her this time, her true nature will be exposed in the future. Wouldn't that harm Miss Fan?"
"That's right, brother, what do you mean? You just don't want me to marry a husband I like, right? I'll go back and tell dad that you don't care whether I live or die!"
"Mingzhu, don't get excited. Okay, okay, it won't work. Go down and have a rest first." Fan Fengze seemed to be a little wary of his sister and didn't dare to scold her too harshly.
"Miss Fan, I'll take you to rest." Ouyang Lan said immediately, "I have a pot to play with, do you want to play?"
"Okay, let's go." Fan Mingzhu loves eating, drinking and having fun. He is a real playboy. He happily pulled Ouyang Lan and left.
The men in the room were left looking at each other with different expressions.
"Master Zhuo, your adopted son is not good enough!" Fan Fengze spoke directly and sharply, with hostility in his eyes.
Zhuo Hongli looked a little embarrassed, and said to Zhuo Yu, "Are you so opposed to the good marriage chosen by your adoptive father?"
"Godfather, ask Brother Ouyang. I didn't do anything. Miss Fan just doesn't like me. There's nothing I can do about it."
Ouyang Cong smiled wryly and said, "It's true that Miss Fan really dislikes Brother Zhuo, and she even cursed him in a rather unpleasant way."
"Ahem." Old Master Ouyang glanced at his eldest son.
Ouyang Cong rubbed his nose and said nothing. Zhuo Hongli said unhappily, "You go back first, and we'll talk when I get back."
"Yes, godfather." Zhuo Yu stood up and said goodbye and left.
"I'll see Mr. Zhuo off." Ouyang Cong immediately followed him out.
At the gate, Zhuo Yu clasped his fists towards Ouyang Cong and said, "I owe you a favor, Young Master Ouyang."
"Hehe, no problem. I don't want to see a rare talent like you being ruined by a woman like that." Ouyang Cong said with a smile.
Zhuo Yu looked at him dimly and asked, "Why are you helping me?"
"I heard that you have a good relationship with Mo Yunzhu?" Ouyang Cong looked around and spoke in a low voice when no one came near him.
Zhuo Yu raised an eyebrow and said, "My relationship with Miss Mo and Prince Lan is fine. Do you have something to ask Miss Mo?"
"There is something wrong. I want her to help me."
"Woman?" Zhuo Yu raised his eyebrows.
"No, it's her apprentice, Master Lan Yan."
Zhuo Yu's mouth twitched. Why did Yun Zhu need to do this? He could just help him. However, no one knew about his relationship with Lan Yan.
"Why are you looking for Lan Yan? I have a good relationship with him."
Ouyang Cong was surprised and said, "Really? That's great. Please introduce him to us. I have something urgent to discuss with him."
Zhuo Yu narrowed his eyes, thinking that Lan Yan was famous for his medical skills. Was Ouyang Cong ill?
"Okay, I'll make arrangements for you. How about I go directly to Haiguan Building to find you?" Zhuo Yu said.
"Of course, thank you, Mr. Zhuo."
"We're just helping each other." Zhuo Yu said, then got on the carriage and left.
Ouyang Cong looked at the departing carriage with a smile on his face. He didn't expect that Zhuo Yu also knew Lan Yan. So he didn't have to bother Miss Mo.
After all, he was a little scared when he saw that woman.
