Chapter 1969: Chapter 1969: Meng Han’s Earnest Advice
Meng Yunzheng sighed helplessly, how could you just instantly have a breakthrough like that?
He didn’t stay long, as there were indeed many things to do at the Office. The new magistrate was about to arrive, and Qi Lie had been squeezing him so much that he almost had no personal time.
So after understanding the situation, he had to go back.
Who knew that when he reached the door, Meng Han suddenly and mysteriously pulled him to a corner of the courtyard and whispered, “Brother, I know you’re busy and that your career is important, but you should also find time to visit Sister Shuyu often. Otherwise, someone else might seize the opportunity.”
Meng Yunzheng looked surprised, “What opportunity? What someone else?”
“It’s that Gan Rui, you know, the one who’s said to be very close to Xun Sheng as a fellow student. Now he comes to Lu’s every day looking for Sister Shuyu, being all attentive, smiling at her like a blooming flower, clearly infatuated with her.”
Meng Yunzheng, “…”
He looked complexly at his cousin in front of him and thought for a moment before saying, “Is it possible that he’s not coming for Yu?”
“Impossible. Besides Sister Shuyu, who else could he be coming for? Luckily, I’m there every time, not giving him a chance to speak to Sister Shuyu alone. Now, when he sees me, he doesn’t even know where to put his hands and feet; that’s a guilty conscience. I know you and Sister Shuyu have deep feelings, but some people pretend to be pitiful to earn sympathy. You need to show more concern for Sister Shuyu, not just focus on things at the Office. Your wife is important too.”
Meng Yunzheng sighed deeply, “You’re overthinking. Gan Rui doesn’t like your Sister Shuyu.”
“I have sharp eyes and can see clearly. Cousin, I know you’re excellent, but don’t be too arrogant. It’s not just women who can pretend to be weak or vixens; men can do it too. Sister Shuyu has a soft heart, and if she falls for it, what then?”
Meng Yunzheng was increasingly troubled, not knowing how to explain this to her at the moment.
Just then, Shu Yu came over, looking at the siblings curiously, “Weren’t you about to leave? Why are you still here, and what are you talking about?”
Meng Han immediately closed her mouth and pushed Meng Yunzheng out the door, “Off you go, cousin is leaving soon.”
Meng Yunzheng looked at Shu Yu helplessly and, along with Xia Yan, pushed the door open and left.
Meng Han looked at his back, shook her head with a deep expression.
Cousin is a bit unreliable, seems like I have to handle this. I need to find a way to make Gan Rui back off.
The next day, Gan Rui didn’t come to the Lu Family’s Shop.
On the third day, he still didn’t come.
Shu Yu thought briefly and knew that Meng Yunzheng must have talked to Gan Rui.
Although Gan Rui was a nice person, running to Lu’s every day clearly revealed his intentions to those who noticed. If it continued, it might affect Meng Han’s reputation as well.
Especially now that there were quite a few people quietly watching Lu’s. If Meng Han married Gan Rui, that would be fine, but if she didn’t, there would inevitably be a lot of gossip and rumors.
Even if he wanted to make his presence felt in front of Meng Han, he couldn’t come every day. It’s just as well; Meng Han is still young.
Shu Yu watched for a few days, and when Gan Rui didn’t come, she stopped paying close attention.
However, she soon found out that there was no need to worry about Gan Rui, but something seemed off with Meng Han.
She used to go out every day, but now she stayed at home all the time, sometimes holding her head in her hands absentmindedly, looking like she was out of her mind.
