Chapter 165 Secrets
He said it sincerely, but he didn't say what it was specifically. Lin Man was not at ease. After a moment's hesitation, he returned the information, "I'm afraid I won't dare to agree until Mr. Yuan makes it clear."
Yuan Jinyu paused while drinking tea, then smiled and sighed helplessly, "I originally wanted to give it a try, but since Miss Lin is so cautious, I'll just tell you that I want to use Miss Lin's connections."
Lin Man raised her eyebrows, and she became more and more curious. As an orphan, she had any connections that Yuan Jinyu could appreciate.
After taking a sip of tea, Lin Man asked directly: "Who do you want me to find?"
"Gu Chengyan." Yuan Jinyu looked at her and softly uttered three words.
Lin Man's expression visibly stiffened.
Sensing her abnormality, Yuan Jinyu asked doubtfully: "What? Is it inconvenient?"
Lin Man pursed her lips and said, "It's a bit inconvenient."
She hasn't contacted Gu Chengyan for many days. The key is that she still doesn't know what attitude to use to face Gu Chengyan.
Yuan Jinyu looked a little disappointed, lowered his eyes and said: "Forget it then."
As he said that, he pushed the information back to Lin Man, "But Miss Lin, please take this information. It's originally to thank you."
Yuan Jinyu is very talkative, so the dinner was not too embarrassing.
Lin Man thought for a while, "If you need anything on Friday night, Mr. Yuan should call me. Maybe I can help."
After dinner, Lin Man said goodbye.
As soon as he left the private room, he saw that the door of a private room diagonally opposite was half open, and the loud noises instantly penetrated his ears, which sounded familiar to Lin Man.
She paused and listened carefully. Wasn't this... Wu Peizhen's voice?
Lin Man took a few steps over there and got a rough look at the situation inside. Wu Peizhen, Ji Minfeng, and a few people she didn't know were standing opposite Su Qianxin.
"Marriage is not a trivial matter. If your parents are not around, you should listen to me. It's ridiculous for you to find a few cousins and aunts to help you take care of it!" Wu Peizhen put aside her usual poise and solemnity, and now she was as angry as a scolding shrew.
.
"Do you think they will do good for you? Bah! They will do whatever they can to benefit them. They have been bribed by the Su family a long time ago! The daughter of the Su family is not worthy of you at all!"
Although Lin Man has always disliked Wu Peizhen, she agreed with the last sentence.
Su Qianxin was not to be outdone, "Am I not worthy? Is that mentally ill person worthy?"
She pointed at Ji Minfeng and spoke mercilessly, even proudly, "Are you okay? Is Shen Lian your biological grandson? Do you have the heart to let him marry a woman with a brain defect? It's not up to you whether I am worthy or not.
The calculation was done by Master Hu!"
"Bullshit Master Hu, he's just a charlatan who was bribed by you!" Wu Peizhen had completely lost her air of being a wealthy elder, and was so angry that she picked up her cane to point at people from time to time.
Lin Man stood in the corridor, and the more he listened, the more doubtful he became.
Why do you hear them arguing and feel that there is something hidden about this marriage?
Master Hu? Charlatan? Sounds like a fortune teller.
Yuan Jinyu saw her standing there without leaving, followed her gaze, and couldn't help but joked: "The Shen family can be said to be in a state of chaos right now. No matter how big and wealthy the family is, there are things that they can't do anything about."
When Lin Man heard what he said, he knew that he knew something hidden, so he turned his head and asked him, "How do you say that?"
"Want to know?" Yuan Jinyu glanced down at her and said with a smile: "Then you can call me Brother Yu?"
Lin Man rolled his eyes with a "You're so greasy" expression on his face.
Yuan Jinyu stopped laughing, "I just think it's too unfamiliar to call you Mr. Yuan. It's okay if you don't. Do you know why Shen Lian suddenly wants to get married?"
Lin Man looked at him and shook his head.
In fact, it's not like he wanted to get married suddenly. He had already had signs of wanting to marry Su Qianxin three months ago, but the progress was just a little faster.
Yuan Jinyu didn't expect her to be able to say anything. Gu Zi explained: "A few days ago, the old man of the Shen family suddenly became critically ill. He asked someone to tell his fortune and said that he needed a fortune teller. Taken together, the task of fortune telling fell to Shen Lian. On the head."
Hearing this, Lin Man understood, and then Yuan Jinyu said: "But who should they go to for happiness? They went to the fortune teller again. The fortune teller said that Su Qianxin is suitable, right?"
Yuan Jinyu smiled and nodded, "That's it."
"How's it going? After knowing that marriage was not Shen Lian's original intention, did you feel happy?"
Lin Man thought for a while, pursed his lips and shook his head.
After all, it was true that Shen Lian rejected her. When she asked him if he liked her, Shen Lian didn't say that he did, so if there was no such thing as a coincidence, she and Shen Lian still wouldn't be together.
Yuan Jinyu raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Then do you still like him?"
Lin Man turned his head instantly, his eyes full of inquiry, "You really know that I like Shen Lian."
"It's not hard to see. I also know that Shen Lian likes you too." He and Shen Lian are old rivals, and he knows Shen Lian as well as Xiao Lang.
When Lin Man heard this, his heart fluttered slightly, and then he shook his head.
She didn't believe it and couldn't believe it.
Yuan Jinyu looked at the noisy private room and said firmly: "Don't worry, Shen Lian and Su Qianxin are not getting married. You still have a chance."
"Why can't we get married?" Lin Man was a little excited when he heard this.
Even if she has no chance with Shen Lian, she doesn't hope that Su Qianxin can successfully marry Shen Lian.
"Do you think Shen Lian is a fool who can be manipulated by others?" Yuan Jinyu sneered, "You still like Shen Lian. No one can force him to do what he doesn't want to do. You don't even have this little confidence in him?"
Lin Man certainly knew this after moving to Shen Lian's house for two years, "But what if he is willing to marry Su Qianxin?"
"I think he is unwilling." Yuan Jinyu shook his head in disapproval.
He felt that the way Shen Lian looked at Su Qianxin was completely different from the way he looked at Lin Man. It was cold, without a trace of affection in it, but full of impatience.
Lin Man shrugged and said that Shen Lian didn't want to marry Su Qianxin and she didn't believe it.
"Give me a moment." A borrowed voice suddenly came from behind. Lin Man subconsciously turned sideways and turned around to leave.
In the private room, Shen Lian withdrew his gaze, feeling a fire burning in his heart. It wasn't enough to just eat. After eating, he had to chat for a while before leaving?
He had never realized that he was so stingy.
The fight between Wu Peizhen and Su Qianxin became more and more intense. Shen Lian was distracted for most of the day. When he came back to his senses, he didn't have the intention to listen to what they were talking about. He just said coldly: "You continue to argue, and after the argument is over, the results will be resolved." Just tell me, I'll leave first."
After saying that, he ignored the surprised looks in the private room, took his coat, and walked straight out as if he didn't hear their pleas to stay, and even closed the door for them thoughtfully.
As soon as Shen Lian left, Wu Peizhen and Su Qianxin put out the fire in a tacit understanding.
Su Qianxin seemed to have run out of strength, and collapsed on the chair. She glanced at Su Mingxuan who had just arrived, and complained angrily: "Everyone is gone. What are you looking at? It came so slowly, and the quarrel couldn't be made in time."
