Quick Wear: Plan to Save the Unrequited Boss

"Ah Ling, you see, our two families have been close since childhood. You and our Nan Yue grew up together. This is the friendship of childhood sweethearts. And Wan Wan and Nan Yue are getting married soon, so we are even more of a family. There are so many collaborations between our two families. We all prosper and we all suffer together, right?"

Okay, family card plus threat card.

Wen Ling doesn't take any cards.

"That's what my aunt said."

Wen Ling smiled and responded without saying anything else, and the atmosphere became cold again.

Mother Gu's face immediately turned purple. She had already said this, so why was she still playing dumb? Did she have to force them, the elders, to lower their dignity and beg her?

Wen Wanwan bit her lip and spoke.

"Sister, Uncle Gu and Nan Yue have been preparing for that cooperation project for a long time and have put in a lot of effort. Nan Yue was afraid that you would suffer a loss from Xie Qiyan, so he said a few more words. He didn't expect that you were on the phone with Xie Qiyan at the time, which angered him."

Wen Ling's eyes turned cold.

"You mean to say this is my fault?"

Wen Wanwan seemed to be frightened by Wen Ling's eyes, and her eyes suddenly turned red.

"No, sister. I just want to ask you to talk to Xie Qiyan. After all, this cooperation is a win-win for both Gu and Xie families. Don't ruin the cooperation between the two families because of such a small matter."

A win-win situation? It was indeed a win-win situation. But the Xie family probably didn't care about that.

Wen Ling seemed to understand something just now.

"Oh~, so Uncle Gu came here to ask me to go to Xie Qiyan to plead for mercy and continue to cooperate with the Xie family."

What else? The few people who had just taken turns rolling their eyes almost felt a lump in their chests.

Wen Ling glanced at Gu Nanyue, who was sitting there with his head down without saying a word, and felt a little contempt for him in her heart.

"Then this matter is easy to handle."

Wen Ling's words immediately brightened Mother Gu's complexion, and the head of the Gu family also felt relieved, but the next second he realized that he had been relieved too early.

"Since it was Gu Nanyue who said something wrong and angered Xie Qiyan, let him go to the Xie family to apologize. If his attitude is sincere, I think the Xie family won't take it too seriously."

Okay, even more angry.

Mother Gu was the first to lose patience.

"Zhiru, our two families are going to become relatives soon."

Seeing that the younger generation couldn't convince him, he had no choice but to seek advice from the elders of the Wen family.

Chen Zhiru patted her hand and said to Wen Ling.

"Ah Ling, your uncle and aunt Gu just thought that you are familiar with the young master of the Xie family, so they thought it would be more appropriate for you to intercede."

Wen Ling blinked.

"Then uncle and aunt are wrong. They are familiar, but not to the point where they can change the decision of the Xie family's crown prince."

Mother Gu was really anxious now.

"Ah Ling, do you really need me and your uncle Gu to beg you? After all, we have watched you grow up."

Wen Ling was indifferent. When asking for help, one should have the attitude of asking for help. No one would use moral blackmail right from the start. She thought she didn't realize that the two elders of the Gu family didn't think her son was wrong at all, but just thought she was ignorant. How could Xie Qi Yan hear those words because of her?

"Look at what you said. How can a junior like Ah Ling bear the fact that you elders have to beg her for help?"

"A Ling, can you really not help?"

Wen Ling could tell that Chen Zhiru was helping her.

He said quickly.

"Oh, it's really not that I don't want to help. Everyone knows that the Xie family's prince never listens to anyone. If I go there, he will think that I am not on his side and that we share the same hatred for the enemy. If he gets angry, he might even target the Gu family. Maybe our family will suffer as well. Everyone knows that the Xie family's prince is the most difficult to serve."

Wen Ling had a troubled expression on her face, but in her heart she was silently apologizing to Xie Qiyan. Well, Xie Qiyan was the easiest to serve. An inexplicable feeling of guilt made Wen Ling silently refute her own words in her heart.

Wow, it has risen to this level all of a sudden, right?

Wen Ming, who had been silent all this time, spoke like a peacemaker.

"Old Gu, everything else is easy to deal with. But since we've offended the Xie family, there's really no other way. Take Nan Yue to the Xie family and apologize. Maybe there will be a chance for this matter to turn around."

Patriarch Gu was speechless now. What could he do? Would he point at Wen Ming's nose and scold her, saying that if it weren't for your good daughter, I would have lost such a big cooperation?

But now that the Xie family has been offended, if we offend the Wen family again, we will be completely finished.

Moreover, as the head of the Gu family has become the strongest among the four families, he has the ability to bend and stretch, and he has a longer-term vision.

Now he could only swallow this loss. He couldn't afford to offend the Wen family, and he had to be tightly bound to them. If the daughter of the Wen family and the Xie family really got together, he could also develop further.

No matter how angry I was, I had to swallow it down. I couldn't say anything in rebuttal and could only leave with my family in shame.

Wen Wanwan was left alone, feeling indignant. In her opinion, the situation would have definitely turned around if Wen Ling was willing to help, but both her parents sided with Wen Ling.

She was about to marry into the Gu family. If the Gu family was doing well, wouldn't it be better for her to follow them? Why didn't anyone in the family help her? Wasn't she their biological daughter?

Chen Zhiru saw her anger and pulled her to sit down.

"Wanwan doesn't understand why we are unwilling to help the Gu family when we are about to become in-laws?"

Wen Wanwan's thoughts were seen through, so she lowered her head and remained silent.

Chen Zhiru sighed. Her daughter still didn't look far enough ahead. But it was not her fault. It was her negligence that she failed to keep the child by her side.

"A Ling, can you explain to your sister why?"

Wen Ling took a sip of water and spoke softly.

"The Gu family has been developing rapidly over the years and is now the strongest among the four major families. After several encounters, it's not difficult to see that the Gu family is becoming increasingly arrogant."

Wen Wanwan was stunned. Indeed, because of Gu Nanyue, she went to Gu's house more often. Every time she went, Gu's mother would look at her with a critical eye and a contemptuous attitude.

He implicitly and explicitly stated that she had grown up as a wild child, and that even the eldest daughter of the Wen family was not worthy of his son.

"My parents are afraid that you will suffer if you marry into the Gu family."

Of course, another point is that Wen Ming really doesn't want to take the risk of offending the Xie family because of the Gu family.

"Now that the Gu family has suffered a significant blow due to this cooperation, they will firmly grasp the Wen family to maintain their position. The Gu family will no longer be able to be arrogant in front of the Wen family."

Chen Zhiru nodded, Wen Ling saw it very clearly.

Wen Wanwan was not very happy when she heard this. This incident made her truly understand the strength of the Xie family, and it also made her jealous. She could only lower her eyes to avoid letting others see the emotions in her eyes.

Wen Ling didn't know about it. She was called to the study by Wen Ming.

"Look at this?"

Wen Ming sat in the main seat and handed a document to Wen Ling sitting opposite him.

Wen Ling flipped through it casually. She didn't pay much attention to the specific content of the cooperation. She only focused on the fact that the two parties to the cooperation were the Xie family's company and the Wen family.

Wen Ling looked up in surprise.

"Our Wen family branch has been preparing for this project. I'm also very optimistic about it, but I haven't found a suitable partner because it's such a new endeavor. No one wants to take the risk. But two days ago, the person in charge of the Xie family took the initiative to extend an olive branch."

Projects that seem very risky to others are nothing to the Xie family.

Wen Ling lowered her eyes and just listened.
