"What's impossible? What do you know?"
Umbo was furious. He had always known that his son was a disappointment, but he had never expected his son to do such a thing.
"It's true." Wen Siyuan seemed to have seized an opportunity to atone for his sins as he hurriedly got up from the ground.
"Dad, it's impossible for Su Nianhua to have any kind of mutually beneficial relationship with Ling Han. They're basically competitors. They hate each other to the core. "
"What did you say?" Umbo frowned. "What's their relationship?"
"I'm afraid they're cuckolded."
Wen Siyuan threw out this sentence meaningfully. There was a trace of relief in his eyes after surviving a calamity.
"Dad, if you're doing this business with Su Nianhua, you definitely don't have to worry that he'll help Ling Han take revenge on us. He definitely won't be in the same boat as Ling Han."
"Where did you hear that from? Let me tell you, that woman, Gu Huanyan, was the one behind that news. Her goal is to help her husband take back the Pleasure Group. When the time comes, we won't even be able to stay in Lan Jiang. Do you know that?"
Umbo still didn't believe him.
After all, in the information that Hong Rizhang had given him in the afternoon, one of them showed that Su Nianhua's relatives overseas weren't close. His uncle and his father had a grudge in the early years, so much so that Su Nianhua's uncle didn't even show his face when the Chao Lu Corporation was in debt crisis, let alone ask him to help buy the Pleasure Group.
The other was the news of Su Nianhua's extramarital affair that had caused a stir for a few days. That news was exposed by Fengxing Entertainment. The strange thing was that Lei Ling and Fengxing Entertainment, like the Gu Corporation, were not in a hurry to suppress the news. Ling Han did not do anything at all. He waited until the news reached a certain height in the media before releasing a clarification announcement.
This was not the Gu family's style at all.
"Dad, I'm telling the truth. That day, I heard Ling Han say it himself. His wife cheated on him. He said that he had to swallow his pride in order to wait for the day when he would take back his Pleasure."
Wen Siyuan's confident words made Umbo frown. A trace of doubt flashed in his heart.
"When did this happen?"
"Just a few days ago, I just came back … at a nightclub …" Wen Siyuan's voice became softer.
"I met Ling Han at the nightclub and he let it slip. He said that he and Gu Huanyan are not as harmonious as they seem on the surface. It's true."
Hearing this, Umbo was silent for a few seconds and looked at Wen Siyuan thoughtfully.
If what Wen Siyuan said was true, then the possibility of Ling Han being the one behind Su Nianhua's proposal was very small. Then who was the one behind him?
"Get up."
He retracted his gaze from Wen Siyuan and walked towards the back of the desk.
Wen Siyuan hurriedly got up from the ground, turned around and looked at Umbo respectfully.
"Give it to me." Umbo reached out and glanced at him.
What he wanted was the document that he had been busy stamping behind the desk.
Wen Siyuan's face turned pale. He handed the crumpled paper balls that he had been holding in his hand to Umbo.
"The share transfer agreement. It's his style to take back the Pleasure Group without losing a single soldier."
Umbo's face turned livid. He glanced at Wen Siyuan and said with disappointment.
"If your brain was half as good as Ling Han's, I wouldn't have to be on tenterhooks every day."
Wen Siyuan kept quiet and lowered his head, not daring to speak.
His attitude made Umbo even more annoyed. He glanced at him impatiently and said,
"Tell me, since Su Nianhua and Ling Han are at odds, then can the acquisition between Su Nianhua and me go through?"
"What, what should I say?"
Wen Siyuan's eyebrows drooped, looking spineless.
"Nonsense, if you don't say it, who else is here?"
Hearing this, Wen Siyuan coughed and shrunk his shoulders.
"I think, since you don't think you can give the Pleasure Group to my cousin, then you might as well give it to someone who is at odds with my cousin. Isn't the enemy of my enemy a friend? Since my cousin is at odds with Su Nianhua, and we are at odds with my cousin, then we are friends on the same side as Su Nianhua. Don't you think so? "
Normally, Wen Siyuan would be full of confidence when he said this. But today was different. The theft of the seal had just been discovered by Umbo. Now, he had no confidence at all.
Even now, he still didn't understand what went wrong with his plan and how the old man found out that he had entered the study.
And Zhou Lan … There seemed to be no movement from the next room for a long time.
The old man didn't mention Zhou Lan, so he naturally didn't dare to take the initiative to mention it. He wanted to make it as clear as possible.
Wen Siyuan's words were not very knowledgeable, but they did poke at Umbo's initial thoughts.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Since that's the case, the cooperation with Su Nianhua can be discussed again.
But before talking about this cooperation, he had to figure out who was behind Su Nianhua.
It was late at night, and the nightlife of Lanjiang City had just begun. It was bustling with lights and feasting.
Su Nianhua was a little anxious waiting at home. He had been walking back and forth on the balcony with his phone in his hand.
Zeng Rou was wearing a pink one-piece home dress. She opened the balcony door and asked with concern.
"Are you still not sleeping?"
Su Nianhua turned his head. After seeing Zeng Rou, he quickly put out the cigarette in his hand.
"Sorry …"
He hadn't smoked for a long time. This was the only condition that Zeng Rou put forward for him when they got married. At that time, Zeng Rou was pregnant. She was afraid that it would affect the child, so she asked him to quit smoking.
Zeng Rou blinked and made a look of understanding.
"It's okay. Are you upset? Is it because of the acquisition that you promised Ye Huanyan? "
"Xiao Rou, don't get me wrong. I just feel that I have always owed her a lot. She has never asked me for help. If I can't help her this time, I …"
"I know. You don't have to explain."
Zeng Rou looked calm.
"What you owe her is what I owe her. What's more, this time it is for the two of them. If helping you can undo the knot in your heart for so many years, I am willing to help."
"There is no knot in my heart. There is nothing between me and her."
"I know."
Hearing these words again, Su Nianhua touched his forehead helplessly.
He didn't know how many times this conversation had happened. Women were always narrow-minded. No matter how magnanimous they usually looked, ever since Zeng Rou found out that Gu Huanyan was Su Nianhua's first love, Ye Huanyan, during the filming of "The Remaining Life", this feeling of awkwardness had not disappeared.
No matter how he tried to explain it, Zeng Rou started to feel awkward as soon as Ye Huanyan was mentioned. On the surface, she looked indifferent and tolerant, but in fact, the more indifferent she looked, the more uncomfortable it made people feel.
"Is Jingjing asleep?" Su Nianhua changed the topic.
At the mention of her daughter, Zeng Rou's expression became much more normal.
"She is asleep."
