Chapter 0376: Zero Luoxi's Guidance
"Brother Zero, are you looking for me?"
Hearing Chu Nan call the other party Brother Zero, Liu Meijia immediately guessed that it must be Ling Luoxi's family, and immediately closed her mouth and listened quietly beside her.
Ling Yuanqiang said: "Your proposal has not been smooth recently." ā
"It's not very smooth." Chu Nan smiled, "But I will definitely do it." ā
"Well, I believe in your perseverance, but there are some things that can't be achieved by perseverance alone, for example, you haven't even been able to walk into my house recently, if you want to propose, where can you start?"
Chu Nan frowned and said, "Brother Zero, what do you mean by what you say?" ā
"Don't worry, I'm helping you, or rather my sister. You've done enough now, let me help you with the rest. ā
Chu Nan's eyes lit up, and he was surprised and delighted: "Brother Zero, do you have a way?" Great, do you have a solution? ā
Ling Yuanqiang said in an understated tone: "If I don't have a way, will I call you?" There are still a few days left until my old man's birthday, and I plan to invite you to the birthday banquet that day, what do you think? ā
"That's just great." Chu Nan said excitedly, "Brother Zero, this is a favor I owe you." ā
"Don't mention what you owe or don't owe." Ling Yuanqiang said coldly, "If you owe me, then I'm afraid it's more than one favor." ā
Chu Nan knew that if it weren't for Ling Yuanqiang's help to delay before, maybe Ling Luoxi would have been forced to marry countless times, and he did owe Ling Yuanqiang a huge debt of human affection a long time ago.
Ling Yuanqiang continued: "Don't worry, I'm not doing this for you, the main thing is that I don't want my sister to be unhappy in the second half of her life, but there is only one chance, you have to take advantage of it." ā
"Brother Zero, what does that uncle like? I'm also good at picking out gifts. ā
"Hehe, do you want to do it? But I don't know what he likes, I see that he likes to play chess, whether it's chess or military chess, oh, by the way, he also studies calligraphy, and he also likes to box, and the rest can't be thought of for the time being. My old man's personality is old-fashioned, because my grandfather is a soldier, so his personality is also more upright, more tough, all I can think of for the time being, if I think of anything that can help you later, just call you. ā
"That's okay, Brother Zero, I'll thank you."
After hanging up the phone, Chu Nan muttered to himself, "Soldier...... Fight...... Calligraphy...... Play chess. ā
Chu Nan touched his nose and muttered to himself: "It seems that I can do all of this, damn it, it seems that the old man taught me so many things at the beginning, and it is finally useful." ā
Liu Meijia looked at Chu Nan and said faintly: "Brother Chu, do you have a way?" ā
"Well, it's hard to say, but at least there's a chance."
"Then I want to congratulate Brother Chu, and I also wish Brother Chu a successful start and strive to hold the beauty."
Chu Nan obviously also noticed the slight sourness in Liu Meijia's words, but he pretended not to hear it, and said with a smile: "Then thank you Meijia for your auspicious words, if I can successfully propose marriage, I will find you to drink our wedding wine." Okay, I'm really tired from the day, so I'll go back to my room and rest first. ā
"Well, Brother Chu should rest early." After Chu Nan disappeared in front of her eyes, Liu Meijia sighed softly and said quietly, "Brother Chu has the opportunity to marry Sister Luoxi, shouldn't I be happy for them?" Brother Chu can finally get his wish. ā
Chu Nan returned to the room, and was also happy to get such good news, but although this is an opportunity, it is difficult to say whether it can be done, think about the birthday of the old man of the zero family, if he proposes marriage in person, once he is rejected, it will not be so easy to redeem it at that time, and it is easy to be laughed at by the Shangguan family.
Now that I think about it, although I had the opportunity to meet that day, there were so many people present, and I really didn't have a lot to do, but anyway, this was a small step forward after all, and I wanted to thank my uncle anyway.
Just thinking about it, Ling Luoxi suddenly called again, and Ling Luoxi asked on the phone, "Brother Chu, my brother told you just now, right?" ā
"yes." Chu Nan said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will definitely seize the opportunity, and I will definitely pick you up as soon as possible." ā
"Well, I believe you. But Brother Chu, you don't have to be discouraged, I'll tell you a piece of news that is not bad or bad. ā
"Okay, haha, it's not bad, at least it's not too bad, I'll hear it."
"Well, Shangguan Qingyun of the Shangguan family personally came to my house to propose."
Chu Nan was taken aback and said, "Shangguan Qingyun? Isn't that the head of the Shangguan family, I'm afraid this is not good news. ā
"The good news is that my father didn't agree."
Chu Nan let out a long breath and said with a wry smile: "In this way, it is good news, although I haven't done it yet, at least I can give me some time to figure it out." ā
"Hmm."
"Still." Chu Nan was a little puzzled and said, "Your old man refuses to see me, obviously he is dissatisfied with me, according to this, he should choose the Shangguan family, the head of the Shangguan family personally went over to propose marriage, this is already a big face, why did your old man refuse, what kind of play is this?" ā
Ling Luoxi snorted and said, "What's the matter, you still want me to really marry me?" ā
"How could it be!" Chu Nan smiled and said, "If you are really married, then I will rob my relatives halfway, his grandmother's, anyway, I must take you away." ā
"Hmph, that's pretty much it. Since you are so sincere, I will talk to you about it. I heard my brother say that my old man has a good impression of you, and it stands to reason that even if he doesn't accept you, he won't turn you away. ā
Chu Nan said: "Could it be that there is a special reason? ā
"yes, there are some special reasons. Alas, in the past few days, the power of our Chu family in the political arena in various places has suddenly changed a lot, and several officials belonging to our zero family have been exposed to corruption, and some have been shuanggui, and the pressure on our zero family has increased sharply. ā
Chu Nan was surprised: "Is it the Shangguan family's hand?" ā
"Yes!" Ling Luoxi said, "According to my estimate, the Shangguan family has two purposes, the first purpose is to show our Ling family the energy that their Shangguan family has, and indirectly tell us that marrying them is the best choice. The second purpose, which may also be to threaten our Zero family, must be because you won the championship of the national medical competition, and coupled with the current status of the medical master, they feel threatened. ā
Chu Nan said: "Then why did your old man reject them?" ā
"Hehe, the Shangguan family doesn't understand my old man's character too much, although my dad is quite annoying in other places, but in terms of personality, he would rather bend than bend, if the Shangguan family didn't make such a big move, maybe he would really consider marrying the Shangguan family, but the current behavior of the Shangguan family stimulated him to the point and aroused the disgust of my old man."
"So, your old man rejected the Shangguan family?"
"Yes, that's why I rejected the Shangguan family."
Chu Nan touched his nose and said with a smile: "It's really the character of a soldier." ā
"And the reason why I didn't let you in is because there are people from the Shangguan family near my house at any time, and this is also to avoid forcing the Shangguan family dog to jump off the wall in a hurry, once the Shangguan family feels that you have my father's consent, I'm afraid the Shangguan family will really make a big move."
"OK, I understand. However, the strength of your Zero family should not be inferior to that of the Shangguan family, right? How could you be afraid of the Shangguan family? ā
"It's not a question of whether we're afraid or not, the problem is that we weren't prepared before, although the four giants have always had intrigue, but generally speaking, there has never been much dispute, after a long time, even a vigilant person will relax, this time the Shangguan family made a move too suddenly, completely unexpected, so the best way now is to delay for a few days, and then launch a counterattack."
"Oh, I completely understand, hey, the affairs of the wealthy family are really a little troublesome."
"Well, there are a lot of troubles, but none of them have anything to do with you and me. This time, the old man of my family celebrates his birthday, and he can take the opportunity to gather all the minds of the forces from all over the zero family, and then it is time to launch a counterattack. ā
Chu Nan smiled a little excitedly: "In this way, wouldn't the marriage between the Shangguan family and the Ling family become a bubble?" ā
"That's what I think." Ling Luoxi said, "However, there is another possibility, after our Ling family launches a counterattack, let the Shangguan family see the strength of our Ling family, and get their face back, and the marriage can be talked about again." ā
Chu Nan sighed, frowned and said: "It sounds a little complicated, but I am such a smart person, I understand it as soon as I hear it, it seems that I still can't be careless, while your old man and the Shangguan family have not negotiated, I should find a way to take the initiative." ā
"Well, but you must not be reckless to propose marriage on the day of your birthday, in case you are rejected by my old man, according to a person with a character like him, it is very likely that he will not agree to your request again for the sake of face, after all, it has been refused, if you agree again, it will be too shameless." This is completely different from Shangguan's family, Shangguan Qingyun talked to my old man in private, so he won't involve these issues. ā
"I understand, in fact, the two of us thought of going together, so do you have any mention of yƬ, what birthday gifts should I prepare for your father?"
"It's up to you, the son-in-law gives a gift to the future father-in-law, and I have to think of a way, use your brains, think of one yourself, it can be regarded as your sincerity."
Chu Nan smiled bitterly: "Okay, don't people say that girls are extroverted, why don't you look like you!" ā
"Hmph, people have helped you like this, isn't it towards you? My old man is now showing me to death, and he will say that you have taken away my soul. ā
Chu Nan smiled with a cheap face: "Did you hook it?" ā
"It's weird!" Ling Luoxi snorted, "I won't tell you, don't forget, don't mention marriage that day, prepare a birthday gift in advance, dress yourself well, and try to be decent." ā
"I see, look at your husband's watch that day."
Chu Nan smiled and was about to hang up the phone, when Ling Luoxi said coquettishly: "Wait a minute, kiss one." ā
"Trojan horse."
"Trojan!"
Hung up the phone, Chu Nan felt that the pressure was coming as scheduled, although the threat of the Shangguan family could be postponed a lot, but if you want to marry Xiao Lingling, you still have a long way to go!
