Chapter 1546: Chapter 1550: Who Can Afford to Play This?
Si Nuo finally spoke: “Indeed, Fifth Brother…”
He said a few words and then ran out of words.
The truth is, this matter seriously suggests not respecting the Si Family or his cousin.
If it were anyone other than Gu Junzhu calling, he would have already lost his temper.
“Ah Nuo, I understand what you’re trying to say, and I get your concerns,” Gu Junzhu said, “The only reason I’m making this call is that I think your cousin might have feelings for Ah Fei. If your cousin does have feelings for Ah Fei, the Si Family and the Xie Family are well-matched. If she marries Ah Fei, it would be a good match. The Xie Family can assure you that if it works out, she will be given the highest honor.”
He paused and then said, “Ah Nuo, don’t feel troubled. Here’s a better idea: give me your third brother’s number, and I’ll talk to him myself.”
In the Si Family’s grandchildren’s generation, there are a total of five siblings.
Senior Master Si has two sons.
The eldest son has two sons, with Si Nuo ranking second, an elder brother above him.
The second son of Senior Master Si has two sons and one daughter, all younger than Si Nuo, with Si Duomian being the youngest.
“No need,” Si Nuo said, “I’ll ask myself. I’m hanging up now, Fifth Brother, wait for my news.”
After hanging up on Gu Junzhu, Si Nuo dialed Si Duomian’s mobile number.
The phone rang for a long time before someone picked up. Si Duomian’s voice was drowsy, sweet and soft, sounding like a cute girl, “Second Brother, it’s so late, is there something going on?”
Si Nuo thought about his cousin’s soft and sweet little appearance, feeling a bit of a toothache.
If his elder brother found out he was calling his cousin at night like this, he was sure to get a beating!
He cleared his throat, “Mianmian, Second Brother has something important to discuss with you.”
“Oh oh!” came rustling noises on the other end of the phone.
Si Duomian climbed out from her warm bed, rubbed her eyes, and sat up straight: “Second Brother, what’s wrong? What happened?”
“Here’s the thing…” Following the principle of “a short pain is better,” Si Nuo straightforwardly recounted the conversation with Gu Junzhu to Si Duomian without any detours.
After he finished, he regretted the order of his words seemed a bit off.
He should have asked his cousin first whether she had feelings for Xie Jinfei!
If his cousin had no feelings for Xie Jinfei, then he didn’t need to say any of that!
He immediately regretted it deeply and tried to make up for it by asking: “Mianmian, do you have feelings for Xie Jinfei? If not, I’ll refuse Fifth Brother right away.”
The phone went silent for a long time.
Si Nuo was a bit nervous, “Mianmian, are you still listening?”
“Oh oh,” Si Duomian responded as she came to her senses: “I’m still listening!”
Si Nuo’s voice was particularly gentle and accommodating, “Mianmian, don’t have any concerns, just say what you truly feel. If you don’t like Xie Jinfei, tell Second Brother, and I’ll refuse on your behalf. Just treat this call as if Second Brother never made it.”
Si Duomian said, “Second Brother, I just pinched myself… I feel like I’m dreaming!”
Si Nuo palmed his forehead, “I also feel this matter is quite unreliable, but since Fifth Brother found me, I have to help him ask. Besides, Fifth Brother isn’t wrong. The Xie Family and our family are well-matched, Xie Jinfei and our Third Brother are classmates, he has a good reputation, never dated anyone, and his romantic history is very clean. If you do have feelings for him, Xie Jinfei is a good match. The only downside is the timing is ridiculously off!”
If Gu Junzhu was suggesting a date between his cousin and Xie Jinfei, that would be completely fine. The entire Si Family would raise both hands in approval.
But this wasn’t just a date; it wasn’t even a relationship, but straight to the home run. Who could handle that?
