"Ha," Gu Junzhu sneered, "Let’s hope so."
He leaned back, his back against the sofa, rubbing his temples: "I can’t believe it—my Brother Chuan, such a clever guy, got played by a woman so completely. Just the thought of it infuriates ."
Ye Xingbei said softly, "I guess that’s what they call ’a hero’s downfall by a beauty,’ isn’t it? History is full of great heroes who succumbed to beauty; what’s more, Brother Chuan is still young."
Gu Junzhu sneered again but didn’t say anything.
"Alright, don’t be mad," Ye Xingbei coaxed him, "You don’t let Brother Chuan or our dad know anything, but look at you now, so angry. When Dad cos ho and sees you like this, he’s bound to ask why you’re so upset, and then he’ll know everything."
"Yeah, got it." Gu Junzhu took a few deep breaths, his expression softening considerably.
Ye Xingbei clasped his hand, stood up, and tugged at him, "Co on, I’ll go with you to take a walk on the back hill. Clear your mind, by the ti we get back, Dad should almost be ho."
"Alright." Gu Junzhu stood up with her.
The two left the living room and headed to the back hill.
Once on the back hill, they stopped discussing Zhan Jinchuan and Ruan Feifei.
Gu Junzhu wasn’t soone who couldn’t let go.
Ye Xingbei deliberately chatted with him about other things, and he naturally set aside thoughts of Zhan Jinchuan and Ruan Feifei.
After a round on the back hill, Gu Junzhu’s anger dissipated, and his mind cleared.
If Ruan Feifei really tricks Li Su soday and Li Su’s father wants to bla soone, he’d have to bla his son’s blindness first for falling for a woman like Ruan Feifei.
Zhan Jinchuan is at most an accomplice.
His anger towards Zhan Jinchuan was partly genuine and partly a deliberate show to let Zhan Jinchuan know how mad he was.
He’d long learned to not show his emotions.
No matter how angry he is, if he wants to control it, he can prevent others from seeing his true feelings.
But with Zhan Jinchuan just now, he didn’t hold back at all.
He wanted Zhan Jinchuan to know he was angry, very angry!
Only then will Zhan Jinchuan be more cautious in his future actions.
Otherwise, if there’s a first ti, there’ll be a second.
This ti, Ruan Feifei used her tears to make Zhan Jinchuan call Li Su’s father and help her marry into the Li Family.
Next ti, what will Ruan Feifei use her tears to get from Zhan Jinchuan?
He must make Zhan Jinchuan cautious.
He must show Zhan Jinchuan that the benefits he grants Ruan Feifei don’t just co at his expense alone, but at the cost of the entire Gu Family.
Only then, when Ruan Feifei seeks Zhan Jinchuan’s help again, might Zhan Jinchuan possibly refuse her.
But only possibly.
Just like Ye Xingbei said, a hero’s downfall by a beauty.
Last ti, Zhan Jinchuan couldn’t withstand Ruan Feifei’s tearful assault.
Next ti, Zhan Jinchuan might not withstand it either.
Therefore, he now needs to find Ruan Feifei’s weakness, or rather, her leverage.
By finding Ruan Feifei’s weakness or leverage, he can confront her directly and make her stay away from Zhan Jinchuan in the future.
If Ruan Feifei dares to manipulate Zhan Jinchuan again, she can’t bla him for disregarding their past relations.
After a round on the back hill, walking up the cobbled path back ho, Ye Xingbei noticed Gu Junzhu was lost in thought, obviously preoccupied.
She squeezed Gu Junzhu’s hand, "Thinking about Brother Chuan and Ruan Feifei again? Weren’t you saying you wouldn’t think about it?"
