100 Negative IQ

“Who can guess what’s on a girl’s mind? I advise you not to guess,” Bei Cong advised.

Gu Ming looked bitter. “No, Brother Cong, she ignored me and even wanted to break up with me. I’m so worried. Help me think of a way!”

Bei Cong looked like he expected better from someone. “Look at you. You’re embarrassing our Old Master!”

“I don’t care! Anyway, you don’t mind me losing face!” Gu Ming simply gave up.

“I don’t like it!” Bei Cong glared at him.

Gu Ming panted heavily. After a long time, he softened his tone. “Brother Cong, Bei Le is your sister! If you don’t help me, no one can help me.”

Bei Cong gave a half-smile. “Sigh, you also said that Bei Le is my sister. Shouldn’t I be helping my sister? Why should I think of a way for you?”

Gu Ming hurriedly said, “No, no, no. You’re my brother, my real brother. You have to help me! I’m your brother-in-law who was betrothed to your sister before she was born. It’s fate. If you don’t help me, the heavens won’t tolerate it!”

Bei Cong was so angry that he slapped his hand. “F*ck you! If that’s the case, it’s Bei Shuo who was betrothed to you before you were born. It has nothing to do with Bei Le!”

Gu Ming’s expression changed. The matter of the prenatal betrothal had been brought up from a young age until Bei Shuo’s return. This matter had become awkward. It was a concept that had to be blurred.

“Brother Cong, I love Bei Le.” Gu Ming said softly but firmly.

Bei Cong’s smile faded. It seemed that this silly boy was stubborn. Bei Le’s matter was really difficult to handle.

“Alright, stop frowning. I’ll go back tonight and ask you what’s going on with Bei Le. Then, I’ll give you my confirmation. Go out with me,” Bei Cong said.

Gu Ming followed Bei Cong without thinking.

He only wanted to end this quickly. “Brother Cong, why don’t you call her now?”

“Tsk, is this something that can be explained over the phone? What if she’s in a fit of anger and hangs up the phone after I tell her? I won’t even have the chance to go home and ask her tonight!” Bei Cong could only explain forcefully.

“Yes, yes, yes. Brother, you’re so thoughtful.” Gu Ming felt that it made sense. He nodded repeatedly and personally opened the door for Bei Cong.

Bei Cong thought to himself: Indeed, people in love have negative IQs.

Duan Si compared a green cheongsam to Song Nan’s body and nodded. “Yes, this color suits you very well. Try and see if it fits. If it doesn’t, ask them to change it quickly. You can wear this to the Shen Family this weekend.”

Song Nan went in to change into a cheongsam and came out to meet Duan Si.

Duan Si circled her and praised, “It’s good to be young. Look at this figure! Not bad, not bad. I think there’s no need to change it. Let’s leave it at that. Very good!”

Song Nan hesitated for a moment and asked, “Auntie, is it a good idea for me to go to the Shen Family’s birthday party with you?”

Duan Si chided, “What’s wrong with that? Aiyo, you don’t even know. That day when Mu En came to apologize, Old Master’s words scared me to death. He said that Mu Ci would always be the eldest grandson of the eldest branch and that no one could shake his status. I thought that our Mu En’s life was over, but I was so depressed! I didn’t expect that things would turn for the better after this. Look, when we went to the Shen Family’s birthday celebration, Old Master brought Mu En along and didn’t bring Mu Ci along!”

Song Nan looked at Duan Si in confusion.

Duan Si explained smugly, “It’s not Old Madam Shen’s grand birthday celebration this year. She didn’t hold a large banquet and only invited a few old friends. Our Mu Family is one of them. Logically speaking, Old Master should have brought Mu Guo along for such a matter, but Mu Guo definitely won’t catch Old Master’s eye. Naturally, he would bring his favorite grandson along. I originally thought it would be Mu Ci, but in the end? He actually chose Mu En.”

Duan Si could not help but laugh.

A moment later, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and tried her best to suppress her emotions. “I’m relieved! Although this is a very small gathering, the wind will change the next day. The outside world will know that Mu En has replaced his brother and was brought along by the Old Master.”

Song Nan couldn’t help but ask, “But Old Master has been keeping Mu En by his side for the past two years.”

Duan Si rolled his eyes at her. “Sigh, this is different! Mu Ci is already married now. If he’s good and gets married, inheritance will be on the agenda. If he’s still by the Old Master’s side, it’ll be equivalent to announcing his future.”
