After getting married, I could hear the thoughts and feelings of my wife's best friends.

"The Su family..."

Gu Nanyin hesitated for a moment, then a hint of shock appeared in her beautiful eyes: "That one up there? Su Tian? The Consul?"

"Correct."

Lu Chen nodded: "It's Su Xinyu, the daughter of the Su family. We have a good relationship now."

Upon hearing this, Gu Nanyin rested her head on her hand, shook her head in disbelief, and said, "Tsk tsk tsk, husband, I really didn't expect... that you could get involved with Governor Su's daughter."

Lu Chen was a little embarrassed: "It's alright... So you're complimenting me, right?"

"correct."

Gu Nanyin nodded, then said, "Hey, could you introduce me to Su Xinyu sometime? I need her help."

Chapter 75 Heart-to-Heart Talk

"How can she possibly help you?" Lu Chen asked, quite puzzled. "She's just a student, what can she possibly do for you?"

Even if you try to pull strings, you can't reach Su Xinyu.

Gu Nanyin replied, "What's there to not understand? If it were you, and you and Su Xinyu were extremely close, would she refuse if you just asked her to do something?"

"No."

Lu Chen was very confused: "Wife, I understand what you're saying, but Su Xinyu is just a student, what can she possibly do?"

This time, Gu Nanyin did not answer immediately. Instead, she picked up her phone from the coffee table, opened a file, and showed it to Lu Chen.

"There's a piece of land on the west side of City A that I'd like to acquire to invest in a pharmaceutical factory, but there's too much competition... So, do you want to help your wife out?"

Lu Chen asked incredulously, "Me, go and take care of Governor Su?"

Gu Nanyin replied, "To be precise, husband, you need to get to know Su Tian through Su Xinyu, and then get him to approve this land for me."

Lu Chen frowned, somewhat reluctantly: "Isn't this just a bargaining chip? This is pointless."

Although Lu Chen knew that Su Xinyu would not refuse him what he wanted, he felt he couldn't bring himself to say it when it came to these matters.

"What kind of exchange of benefits?"

Gu Nanyin was confused: "You asked her for something, and she pressured her own father. You didn't give her anything or make any promises. There was no exchange, so how can it be an exchange of benefits?"

Whoops.

Hearing Gu Nanyin's sophistry, Lu Chen's lips twitched. "You're quite clever."

He still didn't say anything.

Gu Nanyin sighed, "Sigh! I just suddenly came up with this idea. If you don't want to, then forget it."

"I've been worried about this lately, afraid I won't be able to compete with others, sigh!"

talking.

Gu Nanyin sighed again: "If this matter is resolved, I will feel much more relaxed... and I will have more time to spend with you."

next second.

Gu Nanyin's thoughts reached his ears.

[Regarding that plot of land in the western suburbs, I didn't initially have much hope, but after hearing what you said, I think it's worth trying.]

[Honey, how about you make a sacrifice? Talk to Su Xinyu; that way, I can relieve some of the pressure.]

Gu Nanyin didn't say these words aloud, seemingly sensing that Lu Chen's emotions were a bit off.

"Okay, honey, I just suddenly thought of this possibility and mentioned it. If you don't want to, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Lu Chen fell silent. He looked up at Gu Nanyin again. Her eyes were clear and sincere, and she had no sinister intentions.

Lu Chen suddenly felt that, as her husband, he should help her.

“Ayin.”

When Lu Chen called her by that name, Gu Nanyin was only slightly surprised before asking, "What's wrong?"

Lu Chen continued, "It seems you've never told me about your family situation."

Gu Nanyin's eyes flickered, then dimmed, and she slowly spoke.

"My father, the former head of the Gu Group, became a vegetable due to an accident. I only took over the business out of sheer desperation."

Lu Chen was taken aback: "Gu's? Isn't that Xinglan?"

“It’s been split up…” Gu Nanyin gave a bitter smile: “The size of the Gu Group before was ten times that of Xinglan now.”

"Later, my father fell ill, and I naturally could no longer manage such a large ship, so I dismantled and sold it to focus on running Xinglan."

Oh my god...

Lu Chen couldn't imagine how much money such a large group could generate after being split up and sold.

In other words, Gu Nanyin's current net worth is at least nine figures? Or even more?

"You've really worked hard."

Lu Chen pulled her into his arms again. Gu Nanyin snuggled closer to him and continued, "My mother used to be a university teacher, but then my father got sick, and she..."

She resigned to stay home and take care of the family.

This is really...

Lu Chen didn't know what to say for a moment. If it weren't for the accident, Gu Nanyin would definitely have her own life now, traveling around the world and doing what she likes.

However, on the other hand, if it weren't for the accident, he and Gu Nanyin would never have met.

Gu Nanyin continued, "As for relatives, there are some, but we don't keep in touch much. Everyone is very busy."

Then, she changed the subject: "What about you? Since we're here to chat and hug each other, let's share our secrets."

"me?"

Lu Chen smiled and answered in a relaxed tone, "I am an orphan. I grew up eating food from many families. When I was in junior high school, I boarded at a woman's house. She covered my tuition and living expenses and fed me."

Gu Nanyin nodded: "You've met a good person, that's good... I feel less upset now."

However, Lu Chen said, "You're oversimplifying things..."

Gu Nanyin frowned: "What do you mean?"

Lu Chen yawned and replied, "That woman is very beautiful. She's a hardcore fan of good looks and younger men, and she likes younger brothers the most..."

"what?"

Hearing this, Gu Nanyin felt something was wrong and asked curiously, "This... she won't do anything to you, will she?"

"Ugh!"

Lu Chen continued with a resentful look, "She taught me everything. Every night after school, I have to feed her before I can eat."

"Fortunately, I did well and had a sweet tongue, so I didn't suffer much until I graduated from high school."

"Uh!"

Gu Nanyin was speechless: "What kind of amazing development is this? If you hadn't explained it so logically, I would have thought you were making up a story!"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "What's there to make up... I experienced it all myself."

"Tsk tsk."

Gu Nanyin stared at his face and suddenly sighed, "Oh, it's good to be handsome, you can even be kept...tsk tsk, what about that woman? Are you still in contact?"

Lu Chen replied, "Right after graduating from high school, I started playing yo-yo, and she still wanted to marry me! Seriously, who could stand that…?"

"Pfft~"

Gu Nanyin smiled beautifully: "Alas! What a pity! Actually, marrying that woman wouldn't be bad; you'd never have to worry for the rest of your life."

Lu Chen quickly said, "Please don't! Do you know why?"

Gu Nanyin asked curiously, "Why?"

As a result, Lu Chen said something that was particularly scumbag-like: "I'm tired of it... Of course, it's not just me who feels that way, she probably feels tired of it too."

Gu Nanyin rolled her eyes at him and said, "You just don't understand women. When you're outstanding in every way, women will fawn over you... They'll be too busy trying to please you to get tired of you!"

"Well... okay."

Lu Chen had to admit, "Actually, I just got tired of her and hurt her feelings."

The voice just fell.

Lu Chen felt a sharp pain in his waist; Gu Nanyin had twisted it with her hand.

"You're such a jerk! Are you planning to treat me like this again?"

Chapter 76 Stabilize First

"How could that be!"

Lu Chen held her small hand: "We both have a marriage certificate, I won't treat you like that."

"hehe!"

Gu Nanyin sneered, "You won't dump me, but you're doing pretty well with all these mistresses..."

The way he said that almost masked the underlying jealousy.

Lu Chen seized on this detail and immediately retorted: "What's going on? Ayin, you don't actually like me anymore, do you?"

He originally said that just to tease Gu Nanyin and make the woman blush.

However, he underestimated Gu Nanyin's intelligence...

"I like it, of course I do. Would I let you do this if I didn't?" she said, poking Lu Chen's forehead with her finger. "Use your little brain to think about it, right?"

Yoho…

alright…

Lu Chen was speechless. There was nothing he could do! She was his wife, after all! He had to give in! (He found a good excuse.)

Gu Nanyin rubbed her face against his chest and whispered, "I'm so looking forward to our future... Get some rest, you're going to be the CEO tomorrow, aren't you excited?"

"Hmm? Hehe..."

A crow flew overhead: "What's so great about it! Do you think this is a TV drama?"

Early the next morning.

Lu Chen got up. He was a punctual person, and since he had promised Gu Nanyin that he would go to Xinglan to be her president, he would never go back on his word.

After making breakfast for Gu Nanyin, Lu Chen went to check on her in the bedroom before leaving and found her sleeping soundly.

Lu Chen didn't disturb her. He lowered his head and kissed Gu Nanyin on the forehead before leaving.

Because Gu Nanyin had given prior notice, Su Mei and Yang Xueli greeted Lu Chen together when he arrived at Xinglan.

Two stunningly beautiful women stood before him; Su Mei was giving him flirtatious glances, while Yang Xueli wore a meaningful smile.

Even without listening to their thoughts, Lu Chen could tell what the two women were thinking from this scene.

then.

After entering the CEO's office, he cleared his throat and said, "I'm here to work for the next few days. You two, don't get any other ideas, understand?"

Su Mei and Yang Xueli exchanged a glance, both replying in a coquettish tone, "Okay, Mr. Lu~~~"

Lu Chen was helpless.

They didn't seem to know, but there was nothing I could do! I had to stay calm in this situation.

After letting the two of them go about their own business, Lu Chen sent a message to Su Xinyu saying that he had something to do today and couldn't tutor.

As expected, Su Xinyu immediately sent a video call.

After Lu Chen answered the call, Su Xinyu, who was wearing a nightgown, immediately questioned, "What are you doing, brother! Don't you want me anymore?"

Lu Chen replied, "Speak properly. What do you mean you don't want me? I have something to do at the company today."
