Chapter 1545: Chapter 1549: If This Matter Gets Out, It Won’t Sound Good
Moreover… although he usually isn’t too picky, when it comes to relations with women, it’s hard for him to suddenly sleep with a stranger without any interest.
Gu Junzhu looked at him and shook his head, resignedly picking up his phone.
Honestly, he’s quite vexed right now.
He hasn’t done anything this vexing in a long time.
Calling the Si Family in the middle of the night to ask if their precious pearl can come to be an antidote for Xie Jinfei… How does Xie Jinfei manage to have such appeal?
If this wasn’t Ye Xingbei’s biological brother, he definitely wouldn’t do such… shameless things!
But there’s no pretending; this fool is indeed Ye Xingbei’s biological brother.
If he doesn’t resolve his issues, Ye Xingbei won’t be able to sleep.
What’s he supposed to do?
He can only be shameless once!
He exhaled and resignedly dialed Si Nuo’s number.
Among the Si Family, he and Si Nuo were around the same age, grew up together, and shared thick bonds.
The phone rang twice and was answered.
Si Nuo’s voice was slightly sleepy: “Fifth Brother? What’s up?”
Gu Junzhu looked at the time.
It was past twelve at midnight.
What a perfect time!
“Yeah, something’s up,” Gu Junzhu sighed again, “Did I wake you?”
“Yeah, no worries,” on the other end, Si Nuo turned on the lamp and sat up, “Fifth Brother, speak your mind.”
A midnight call usually means something’s wrong.
Si Nuo held the phone anxiously.
“Here’s the thing…” Gu Junzhu slowed his rate of speech, “What I’m about to say might be a bit shocking, wake yourself up and don’t think you’re dreaming.”
“…” Si Nuo sat up straighter, “Fifth Brother, don’t scare me in the dead of night.”
“Actually, it’s nothing much,” Gu Junzhu coughed a couple of times, “It’s like this…”
He briefly explained what happened tonight to Si Nuo, finally concluding, “I’m thinking, since your sister invited Ah Fei for dinner, maybe she has a liking for Ah Fei. The Xie Family and the Si Family are well-matched in social status. Ah Fei’s feelings for your sister are genuine. If your sister likes Ah Fei too, it’d be a wonderful thing, don’t you think, Ah Nuo? Of course…”
He paused briefly, then hurriedly said, “This matter mainly hinges on your cousin’s opinion. I’m calling to ask you to help inquire if she has feelings for Ah Fei. If she doesn’t, let’s just pretend I never made this call tonight.”
Si Nuo was dumbfounded.
This is truly… an impressive maneuver.
The Si Family isn’t some random clan; their old master and the Xie Family’s old master hold equal positions.
Even though his cousin is from the second branch, not the eldest branch’s granddaughter, isn’t Xie Jinfei merely Senior Master Xie’s grandson too?
Both sides have similar stature, yet Xie Jinfei gets drugged, and his cousin is asked to rush over to be his cure?
This is outrageous!
If the call wasn’t from Gu Junzhu, he would’ve already replied with some snark.
Yet respecting his Fifth Brother, he decided to keep his retort to himself.
Not hearing any sound from the other end for a while, Gu Junzhu felt a bit embarrassed.
He coughed once, slowly saying, “Ah Nuo, I know, this sounds somewhat preposterous. The young lady of the Si Family is the cherished pearl of the Si Family, and there’s no reason for her to rush to the Xie Family in the middle of the night to help Xie Jinfei. If this matter were to spread, it’d surely cause gossip.”
