The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 939

Cao Wang also felt somewhat powerless, and with his body covered in wounds, he said to Cao Jinlian, "Do you think I haven't tried? I've already pulled a lot of strings, but there's just no way to get through this."

"It's as if everyone's been bribed; it's like they're all conspiring to get back at us!"

Cao Wang said with a frustrated expression.

Cao Jinlian found this matter very strange. Why would that man appear in Xu Tian's room that night? She believed that this must have been deliberately orchestrated by that man.

Now, the more Cao Jinlian thinks about this, the angrier she gets. She hates that man so much that she wants to tear him apart.

Cao Wang touched his head and wailed incessantly.

Back at the restaurant, Cao Jinlian tearfully told Xu Tian that she was unwilling to get married.

Cao Jinlian, who didn't want to marry a man she didn't like at all and only wanted to marry Xu Tian, ​​believed that the feelings Xu Tian had expressed to her before meant that he liked her.

Xu Tian glanced at Cao Jinlian.

Actually, this girl isn't disliked on her own.

If it weren't for her impure intentions?

Perhaps Xu Tian wouldn't have ended up like this.

He said directly to Cao Jinlian, "I also have no desire to get married! I think that young master is quite good. You said that if you were to invite him to your home, you would definitely enjoy a life of luxury."

Doesn't Xu Tian know that man's character well enough?

He really didn't think that a man who was easily swayed by beauty or greed could be any good.

But now, in front of Cao Jinlian, all he could say was how good that man was.

In addition, he analyzed for Cao Jinlian the various benefits of getting married.

Although Cao Jinlian's intentions were impure, she was also somewhat naive and didn't understand many things.

Moreover, Xu Tian believed that some things were done on Cao Jinlian's own initiative, while others were done on Cao Wang's orders.

Cao Jinlian hadn't expected Xu Tian to be so kind to her. As she turned to leave, Xu Tian said, "Now that I'm no longer working here, there's something I want to tell you."

Xu Tian looked up, a hint of surprise on his face.

However, he did not ask any questions. He only heard Cao Jinlian say, "Actually, my brother arranged for me to work at your restaurant. I only came here to work because I liked you, just to get your attention."

Feeling guilty, Cao Jinlian confided in Xu Tian about the arrangements she had made for her cousin.

Xu Tian feigned surprise, "What? It was Cao Wang who arranged for you to work in my shop?"

He looked completely incredulous.

Cao Jinlian felt even more guilty.

"I am truly sorry for this matter. I hope you can forgive me for everything that happened in the past. Also, thank you for your guidance today."

Cao Jinlian felt grateful to Xu Tian for his understanding and guidance despite past grievances. She considered him her great benefactor and now felt only gratitude towards him.

She had no idea that everything was under Xu Tian's control, and that everything she received was arranged by Xu Tian.

After saying this, Cao Jinlian turned and left.

Xu Tian knew that Cao Jinlian was simple-minded and not as bad as Cao Wang.

However, he was well aware of this matter; Cao Wang would never give up easily.

He wasn't afraid that Cao Wang would continue to come and cause trouble for him.

Once he gets a handle on Cao Wang, he can make sure Cao Wang never appears in front of him again.

Cao Wang did not expect that Cao Jinlian would go to Xu Tian.

"Things have already come to this point, why are you still going to find Xu Tian? Do you still want him to turn around and look at you? Don't think so much. Don't you know what kind of person Xu Tian is?"

Cao Jinlian never expected her cousin to speak to her like that.

"Third Brother, what triggered you this time? Was it wrong for me to go find Xu Tian? I just wanted to talk to him and say a final goodbye, is that not allowed?"
