Chapter 115 115. Appropriate scheming is also part of strength
While the two were drinking, a staff member came in pushing a cart.

He placed the dishes on the table one by one and said, "Enjoy your meal, both of you." Then he pushed the cart out of the room, as if he had not taken a single cloud with him.

Looking at the dishes in front of him, Gu Nanqiao's eyes lit up and he said with a chuckle, "It looks delicious!"

"Brother Fu, I won't be polite with you!"

Fu Yun found it a little funny. If another woman had eaten with him, she would probably order a steak. But Gu Nanqiao seemed to be afraid of not having enough to eat, and the table was almost full.

Steak, pasta, pan-fried salmon, cream of mushroom soup...

He even doubted whether her stomach could hold it.

Gu Nanqiao held a knife in one hand and a fork in the other, and used them very skillfully. He cut the steak into small pieces and then chewed it slowly, looking as if he was tasting some noble food.

While eating, she looked up and blinked her big innocent eyes, and asked a little aggrievedly, "Brother Fu [chew chew chew], do you think [chew chew chew] all the rich ladies in the capital [chew chew chew] hate me?"

Fu Yun put down his knife and fork, "Hmm? Why do you say that?"

Gu Nanqiao also put down his knife and fork, pouting like a kid complaining. "It's my first time attending your family's banquet, and I got splashed with water for no apparent reason."

Hearing this, Fu Yun remembered that this was indeed the case.

Because Gu Nanqiao was kidnapped before, he had no time to deal with the women who bullied Gu Nanqiao.

So in the end I sent a message to Fu Rongxuan and asked him to handle it. I never took it to heart and later I didn’t ask about the result of the handling, so I still don’t know how Fu Rongxuan handled it.

Just as she was wondering whether to call Fu Rongxuan to ask, Gu Nanqiao said, "Later, when I was buying a watch with my mother, I met Yao Qian again, but she seemed to have a lot of opinions about me."

After saying this, he lowered his head, his tone somewhat melancholy, "Should I not have come to Beijing?"

Fu Yun frowned, "Who told you that!"

If Gu Nanqiao hadn't come to Beijing, how would he have known her?

Although he has never liked the blind dates arranged for him by his family, if this person is Gu Nanqiao, he can accept it.

It’s not because Gu Nanqiao is beautiful, but mainly because she gives him a different feeling compared to those beautiful girls in Shangjing.

That's why when Lu Xiaoxuan sent him those photos yesterday, he immediately called Gu Nanqiao to arrange a meal. Afterwards, even he felt like he was crazy.

It was as if I had been poisoned by a poison called Gu Nanqiao.

It was obvious that Gu Nanqiao didn't seem to have any romantic feelings for him, which made Fu Yun feel a little frustrated.

But it seems that this Yao Qian should be dealt with.

Because he had heard more than once that Yao Qian was the woman worthy of him and was destined to be Mrs. Fu.

It was not resolved before because there was no need. After all, with Yao Qian around, those who wanted to pounce on him could restrain themselves a little.

Although the Yao family's status is not as high as the four major families, apart from the four major families, the Yao family's status and position in Shangjing is still one of the best.

With a shield, he was naturally happy to have some free time.

But now that he has a crush on Gu Nanqiao, he still has to deal with these gossips. Otherwise, before the two of them even start to get intimate, Gu Nanqiao will probably be deterred by Yao Qian's presence.

Isn’t it said on the Internet that chastity is the best dowry for a man, and that one should always avoid anyone or anything that may affect one’s chastity.

Seeing Fu Yun's thoughtful look, Gu Nanqiao shook her head, "No one said that, but I just feel that they don't like me, and my brothers at home don't like me either. I feel like I'm just a poor little thing that no one likes." Hearing this, Fu Yun spoke out, "Who said you're a poor little thing that no one likes? I like you very much."

"Pfft-"

Gu Nanqiao chuckled, "Okay, then I like Brother Fu too."

It was obvious that Gu Nanqiao did not take Fu Yun's words to heart, and even thought that Fu Yun was joking.

After saying that, he raised the wine glass in front of him and looked at Fu Yun with a smile, "Brother Fu, thank you. I feel much better now."

Fu Yun pursed his lips and said, "Why don't you stop drinking? I think you're almost drunk."

Gu Nanqiao shook his head and stretched out his index finger, "I'm not drunk! I can still drink!"

Seeing Nan Qiao drunk but unaware of it, Fu Yun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Okay, okay, you're not drunk."

Seeing that Gu Nanqiao was still holding up his glass, Fu Yun reluctantly raised his glass and clinked it with Gu Nanqiao's, "But there's no need to be so polite between us."

It felt like ever since I met Gu Nanqiao, she had been saying thank you to me all the time, which was a bit awkward.

Fu Yun didn't pour much, so Gu Nanqiao raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, holding the wine in his mouth before slowly swallowing it. "No, people should be polite. You helped me, so I must say thank you."

"Okay, okay, our Qiao Qiao is the most polite."

After saying that, he imitated Gu Nanqiao and held his chin up, "But next time if you still want to say thank you to me, just give me a small gift. It doesn't have to be too expensive."

Then he frowned and smacked his lips, “Even if you’re drunk now, I don’t know if you’ll still remember it tomorrow.”

Gu Nanqiao seemed to have just realized what was happening, and immediately said, "Okay, I just learned to paint, I'll give you a self-portrait someday!"

Fu Yun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "Really? Then I'm looking forward to Qiao Qiao's self-portrait."

Gu Nanqiao chuckled and said, "I just hope Brother Fu doesn't look down on me because I'm a newbie." Then he lowered his head and continued to eat.

Just kidding, coaxing a man is a very brain-intensive thing, you must eat more to make up for it.

Yes, Gu Nanqiao was actually sober, but some of his words had to be treated as drunken talk.

Although she had not thought of using Fu Yun to deal with the Yao family, if she let Fu Yun deal with Yao Qian, it would probably make Yao Qian feel even more devastated, and she might do something uncontrollable at that time.

That's why she insisted on ordering red wine.

It is said that a man who is a little drunk can make a woman cry, and the same is true for women.

It was just a performance, and it was a piece of cake for Gu Nanqiao.

The main reason was that she discovered that Fu Yun seemed to treat her differently. She couldn’t say how much he liked her, but he should have some feelings for her.

In addition, she deliberately mentioned Yao Qian in front of him. Presumably, in order to prevent her from thinking too much, he would take action to deal with Yao Qian.

However, how to solve the problem specifically is not something she needs to worry about.

She didn't want to be so scheming, but if she relied on herself alone, it would probably take several years to bring down the Yao family.

Sometimes appropriate scheming is also part of strength. After all, she didn't do anything harmful.
