Chapter 910: Jia Guolong's Confession to Fang Jingwen

Su Yang solemnly said: "Little witch, speaking honestly, I think you and this Jia Guolong are quite a good match; one is a playboy, superficial, flirting everywhere; another is troublemaking, everyone finds him a headache; together I'll give you a combo name: the Restless Ghosts' Dread combo."

Liu Zixuan directly snapped: "I beg you to act like a human, okay? With this kind of trash, does he also deserve it?"

"And you, how do you keep teasing me like this? Is that appropriate? Ruo Han older sister, you gotta stand up for me!"

"Just speaking of these few investments, which time when opening the situation wasn't me going to handle it? In that Lieshan Xian incident, I almost got bullied, and yet you don't appreciate my good deeds; otherwise I'd go cry to grandpa, saying you bully me!"

Zhou Ruohan said: "Alright already, why do you insist on opposing him like that? By the way, I still haven't asked a bridesmaid for my wedding in a few days; otherwise, you could be my bridesmaid."

"Originally I thought it would be really simple, just a few tables at home; I hadn't planned to ask for bridesmaids, but hearing grandpa's opinion, we should hold it at Xijing Binguan, which seems to need to be a bit more elaborate."

Liu Zixuan instantly jumped up cheering: "Great great great, Ruo Han older sister is the best; unlike Su Yang, this heartless guy, besides taking advantage of me, he gives me no benefit at all!"

At this moment, Su Yang changed the topic again: "To be honest, regarding that Li QiuShui you mentioned, you'd better sort out your relationship with her first; don't really provoke her and then just run away after spanking her ass, otherwise the one who might end up getting revenge could be me, since nobody else can get revenge on her."

"This woman, I can tell at a glance she's not that open-minded type. If worse comes to worst, you could just marry her; you wouldn't lose out, and her family mainly doesn't care about our second uncle's status or such; what they probably value is your muscular build."

Zhou Tong said: "What are you thinking? How could I possibly let her off easy? Going to a club to be a male escort, I still couldn't let her off easy!"

After he said that, everyone burst out laughing; Zhou Ruohan reminded from the side: "Don't spout nonsense from a dog's mouth, what are you babbling? What occasion is this? The kind of talk you're saying that can't be shown on stage is really... I've noticed since I met your brother-in-law, your speech has become off-key."

As she said that, she also noticed Fang Jingwen hadn't spoken for a long while, so she asked: "Jingwen, do you have something on your mind? I know if I said 'when you encounter difficulties everyone can help you,' you'd still be unhappy inside, so I didn't say it, but when we go out to play, it's better to be in a good mood."

"Our wedding might not have many guests; I know Su Yang wants to invite you, but he's too embarrassed to say it outright, so I'll take the initiative and invite you as well, hoping you can come."

Fang Jingwen suddenly lifted her head: "This is what you said, oh; I really have a difficulty coming up, you must help me block it!"

As soon as he said that, the other few people were startled: "What are you saying? You have a difficulty coming up? What kind of difficulty could it be? Could it be..."

In that moment, everyone possibly realized: "No way, could it be that Jia Guolong..."

Fang Jingwen said: "Unfortunately you guessed right; I estimate his target might be me, because he's come to see me twice this month and also sent me many luxury gifts along the way, all custom-made."

Su Yang was shocked beyond belief, asking: "You accepted all of them? If they're custom-made and also luxury items, the price must be extremely high!"

Fang Jingwen didn't answer directly, but instead asked: "So what do you think, should I accept them or not?"

In an instant, the atmosphere obviously changed, but this time Zhou Ruohan didn't rush to say anything; instead she quietly looked at Su Yang.

Su Yang said: "Of course you shouldn't accept them; you yourself have worked in the Discipline Inspection Commission, you know the stakes involved; this kind of person has no bottom line—if you accept his stuff, he'll use it to blackmail you into wrongdoing; otherwise, it's just a lever he holds over you."

Fang Jingwen said: "Hehe, you're actually quite concerned; honestly, the things he sent are all nice, I also kinda like them, so accepting them isn't a big deal; in this unfamiliar place of Jingcheng, I need to have a few acquaintances."

The meaning of his words is a bit ambiguous; although I don't want to speculate further, since you insist on being so certain, I can't say much more. As friends, when someone gives you a gift, it's understandable, but never let some people treat it as leverage.

At this moment, everyone realized that the current Fang Jingwen is Jia Guolong's ultimate target.

Appearance, looks, erudition—needless to say, they're one in a million. The key point is Fang Runan; rumor has it that by year-end next year he'll be promoted another level, which would be the Vice Department Head overseeing daily work, on par with local bigwigs, but if we really talk about substance, at this level there's hardly anyone better.

Moreover, Jia Guolong's father is eyeing a final push; if he could ally with Fang Runan, his chances of success would greatly increase. Conversely, for Fang Runan, aside from the support of the old Liu Family, if he wants to advance further, he also needs strong backing from a venerable clan like the Jia Family.

Actually, if this matter were to succeed, both families would benefit. However, Su Yang can see from Fang Jingwen's eyes that she has absolutely no fondness for Jia Guolong whatsoever.

At this moment, Zhou Ruohan pinched Su Yang's waist hard: "You've got a lot on your mind; I used to not be able to manage you, but now you'd better relax, otherwise those two pokes from Zhou Tong just now on your body—do you think you can handle them?"

Su Yang instinctively shrank back: "Are you trying to murder your husband?"

The scene of those two, in the eyes of others, is just lovey-dovey.

Fang Jingwen lowered her head and gulped a large glass of white liquor, her big eyes staring ahead, unknown what she's thinking.

However, just then the ambient lights on stage suddenly began to change, various colorful lights flashing wildly, and then two spotlights shone respectively on Su Yang's table and Jia Guolong's table.

At this moment, Jia Guolong was seen holding a bouquet of roses, slowly rising, picking up the prepared microphone, and speaking passionately: "Hello everyone, I'm Jia Guolong; amidst the New Year festivities, in this nationwide celebration, I also want to advance toward my happiness; I hope everyone greets me with the warmest applause and the loudest cheers!"

As his words fell, waves of screams and shouts, combined with the music's explosive beat, wove into an ocean of revelry.

Liu Zixuan widened his eyes: "Damn, looks like it's really Sister Jingwen; this toad really does dare to eat swan meat! Why didn't you just outright reject him before? This kind of person's face is truly disgusting; today he's pulled off such a big spectacle—if you don't agree to him, he'll become a laughingstock in the circle, and we'll be mortal enemies! Moreover, he's determined to get it."

Fang Jingwen didn't answer Liu Zixuan, but calmly looked at Zhou Ruohan: "What do you think?"
