Chapter Twenty-Three: Asking for Engagement
As the days passed, her love with Li Yuanchen also reached the point of "like the sky", but whenever Li Yuanchen tried every means to get close to her, she always used excuses to shirk her.
Li Yuanchen had no choice but to give up.
Li Yuanchen's next move, that is, today, will come to the door and discuss the engagement with Gongsun Ao.
He wanted to get her hands on her earlier, so that he could get closer to the Gongsun family.
She is an only daughter, and all the property of Gongsun Ao in the future will be hers. But Li Yuanchen, a man, didn't want to wait, he would take the initiative to attack.
"Hello uncle. ”
When Gongsun Yan went downstairs, she saw Li Yuanchen carrying large and small gifts, with a smile on his face.
"It's coming, it's coming, why are you still bringing so many things. Gongsun arrogantly beckoned Li Yuanchen to sit down.
Gongsun Yan slowly went downstairs and heard Li Yuanchen thanking Gongsun proudly, and sitting on the sofa uneasily.
"Yuanchen, are you here?" When Li Yuanchen's gaze looked at her, Gongsun Yan smiled at him.
She knew Li Yuanchen's purpose for coming here, and she also united with Nangong Lin to stop Li Yuanchen's purpose this time.
"Yeon-yeon. Li Yuanchen said softly.
"Uncle......" Li Yuanchen watched her come and grabbed her hand, she sat next to Li Yuanchen, listening to Li Yuanchen expose his purpose, "Uncle, I want to get engaged to Yanyan, and we will get married after she graduates." ”
"Engagement, isn't this a little early?" said Gongsun Yan.
"I also have my own selfishness, I want you to stay with me forever, you go abroad to study, I will accompany you. Uncle, I will be good to Yanyan for the rest of my life, I will love her and care for her for the rest of my life, and I will not let her suffer any grievances. ”
Li Yuanchen said with a sincere face, if he hadn't known his premeditated plan a long time ago, even Gongsun Yan would have almost believed it.
"Yanyan, Dad has no opinion on this matter, what do you think?" Gongsun Yan also wanted someone to be by his daughter's side and take care of her.
Gongsun Yan knew that she had never enjoyed mother's love since she was a child, and he owed her, so no matter what she asked, he would agree.
When Gongsun Yan heard her father say this, she suddenly didn't know what to say.
She didn't want to agree at all!
"Sorry to interrupt. A magnetic voice came, which made Gongsun Yan immediately happy, and she turned her head sharply to look at Nangong Lin.
"Mr. Nangong. Gongsun Yan tried hard to suppress the joy inside, and his appearance just saved her.
It's just that how could this man come over? She asked Nangong Lin for help, but in fact, she wanted Nangong Lin to help her, so that he could create a crisis for Li Yuanchen's company, so that Li Yuanchen would not get engaged to her.
Because once Li Yuanchen mentioned the engagement, it was hard to guarantee that he didn't say this because he wanted Gongsun Ao to save his company.
It's just that now that Li Yuanchen has brought it up, what is the purpose of Nangong Lin coming over now?
"Nangong Lin?" Gongsun Ao was also surprised, he had never had much intersection with the Nangong family, the Nangong family was a place where people eat people and did not spit out bones, and the Nangong Lin in front of him had a humble status in the Nangong family.
But every time he met Nangong Lin on various occasions, he felt that he was not as humble in the Nangong family as he seemed to be.
The more such a man can't see through, for Gongsun Ao, he will only stay away.
Their family background cannot be compared with the Nangong family.
"Hello uncle, I came here today to marry Yanyan, the Nangong family has been choosing a daughter-in-law, and this time I happened to take a fancy to the Gongsun family. ”
"Boom ......" There was a shock, and her head was blank as if she had been struck by lightning, looking at this man who was talking nonsense.
What does Nangong Lin want to do?
"Nangong Lin!" Li Yuanchen got up from the sofa abruptly and confronted Nangong Lin.
Nangong Lin raised the corners of his mouth stupidly: "Mr. Li, shouldn't the parties agree to this matter?"
Li Yuanchen immediately shifted his gaze to her.
Gongsun Yan stood up and just wanted to open her mouth to dismiss Nangong Lin's words just now, but Nangong Lin took the lead: "Uncle, whether it is the power or status of the Nangong family, you should think about it." ”
Gongsun Yan heard it, Nangong Lin was threatening her father!
"Nangong Lin, you are not welcome here, please go out!" Gongsun Yan said angrily.
She is in a relationship with him, when did she say that she was going to marry him?
"Yanyan, don't be rude!" Gongsun Ao glanced at her, after all, Nangong Lin was heavy-minded, although he was not favored, but in the end he was a member of the Nangong family.
"Uncle, can you talk about it alone?" Nangong Lin said proudly to Gongsun.
Gongsun Ao's face was not good-looking, but he still walked to the study: "Follow me." ”
"Dad......" Gongsun Yan took a step forward and frowned as she watched the two of them walk one after the other.
Her heart is on Nangong Lin's side, what will that man say to her father?
She sat on the sofa, and after a while, Gongsun Ao and Nangong Lin came out, and Nangong Lin nodded at Gongsun Ao and left.
She immediately got up from the couch: "Dad!"
"Alas......" Gongsun Ao sighed, sat on the sofa, and looked at Li Yuanchen, "Yuanchen, don't worry, I won't let my daughter marry Nangong Lin, it's just ......"
"Just what?" Li Yuanchen had already realized that he had a bad premonition.
"It's just that Nangong Lin uses the Gongsun family's company as a threat, as well as your company, if I promise Yanyan to you, then our two companies are bound to encounter accidents. ”
Gongsun Ao showed melancholy on his face and looked at Li Yuanchen.
"I'll go find him!" Gongsun Yan immediately couldn't sit still, got up from the sofa and was about to go to Nangong Lin to settle the score.
"Yanyan!" Gongsun Ao immediately called out to her.
Gongsun Yan paused, her back stiffened, and she didn't look at Gongsun Ao.
"Alright. Gongsun Ao turned to look at Li Yuanchen, his face showing apologetic guilt, "Yuanchen, stay and have a meal at noon." ”
Gongsun Ao left after speaking.
Gongsun Yan slowly turned around and looked at Li Yuanchen, that stinky man! What the hell do you think, isn't this to play with her to death?
"Yuanchen ......" Gongsun Yan walked over slowly, she saw the question in Li Yuanchen's eyes, and the question was forcibly suppressed by him.
"I don't blame you. Li Yuanchen reached over and took her into his arms.
Li Yuanchen had lunch here, wanting to know what Gongsun Ao meant, but Gongsun Ao never mentioned the matter between them.
Li Yuanchen was so disturbed by Nangong Lin, and he didn't want to stay longer, so he left.
After Li Yuanchen left, Gongsun Yan contacted Nangong Lin as soon as possible and made an appointment to meet in a café.
"You're here to thank me?" Nangong Lin said as he looked at Gongsun Yan, who came to him angrily.
Gongsun Yan trembled angrily, thank him?
"Nangong Lin, what do you mean! Why did you come to my house and say those things to my father! Our plan is not for you to attack his company and solve this matter?"
Gongsun Yan opened her mouth angrily.
Nangong Lin picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip, his eyes were bottomless: "I'm not wrong, I really want to marry you." ”
"What did you say?" Gongsun Yan said in disbelief.
"We talked about mutual help and mutual benefit, and I don't have a woman around me. Nangong Lin said.
"You lack a woman, you go to find someone else, why are you looking for me?" Gongsun Yan sat on the sofa in front of him angrily, "Nangong Lin, we are cooperating, but our cooperation does not involve this kind of thing." ”
"I've helped you so much, but now you're telling me that our cooperation doesn't involve this kind of thing? Gongsun Yan, it's too late. ”
Nangong Lin's legs were folded, his back was leaning on the back of the sofa, the back of his hands was supporting his temples, and his eyes were bottomless.
It was obviously broad daylight, why did she feel cold? For the first time, she felt fear of the man in front of her.
Now she regretted working with this man, as if she had jumped into another abyss.
"Nangong Lin, let me tell you, it's impossible for me to marry you!" Gongsun Yan said bluntly.
"Oh, even if your father's company is facing bankruptcy?" Nangong Lin said, recently the people of the Nangong family have begun to lose their patience, and they are helping him find a woman and let him get married.
The best part is to let him have a home, and the worst part is to find a woman who can control it to stay with him and monitor his every move until he becomes a real waste!
"Nangong Lin!!" Gongsun Yan was excited, and slapped her palm on the table, her eyes full of resentment.
"Don't worry, it's just a cooperative relationship between us, if you marry me, you will get everything you deserve, and I will also help you get rid of Li Yuanchen, do you want to think about it?"
Nangong Lin said.
"Nangong Lin, you have died of this heart! I will not marry anyone who marries you!" Gongsun Yan got up abruptly and wanted to leave.
"Do you want to marry Li Yuanchen?" Nangong Lin's words made Gongsun Yan stop her steps, obviously she didn't want to marry Li Yuanchen.
"You have only one choice, and that is to marry me, and after marrying me, Li Yuanchen will not be able to entangle you. Let me tell me my purpose, the Nangong family is helping me find Young Lady Nangong, and I want to choose it myself. ”
Gongsun Yan turned to look at Nangong Lin, she couldn't find a trace of flaw on Nangong Lin's face, and she was right, this man is also in crisis at the moment, but he just said that he would help her eradicate Li Yuanchen.
"You just said you would help me eradicate Li Yuanchen?" Gongsun Yan said.
"Well, that's a condition for you to marry me. Nangong Lin said.
Gongsun Yan took a deep breath: "I also have conditions, I can marry you, but if I don't hold a wedding, I hope that my affairs with you will not be known by outsiders." Once you're in that seat, we're divorced. ”
"Divorce? That's interesting. "When he sat in that seat, other women would follow him, and this woman was thinking about how to get away from him.
"Also, I hope you don't interfere in matters that have nothing to do with our cooperation in the future. After Gongsun Yan finished speaking, she left.
She suddenly remembered that she forgot to ask Nangong Lin what he had said to his father in the study, and changed his mind when he let his father out of the study.
It was Nangong Lin who threatened his father, but he was attached to his father's temperament, and he would not be easily threatened.
Gongsun Yan couldn't figure it out, she frowned and left.
