Chapter 297: Chapter 297: Schemes to Win People’s Hearts
In this world, sincerity rarely moves people; only scheming wins hearts.
If Yang Mingming knew her love rival Sheng Tang was pursuing Gu Jiahui, Gu Jiahui’s standing would be slightly different in her eyes.
Even if she didn’t value him, she wouldn’t treat him as indifferently as before.
That’s how women think.
Women can’t stand their backups walking away, especially if another woman treasures him.
Then, Yang Mingming might think: "Maybe, Gu Jiahui isn’t so bad after all?"
Sheng Tang knew exactly what Gu Jiahui intended, and she could help him achieve his goal.
But it wouldn’t be made public.
"It’s fine if not everyone hears it, as long as Yang Mingming hears it, that’s my bottom line," Sheng Tang said.
Gu Jiahui leaned against the sofa, revealing a sly and cold smile: "Afraid it’ll get in your way?"
He was mocking Sheng Tang’s relationship with Gu Shiting, referring to it as Sheng Tang’s path to fortune.
If that’s how he thought, that’s how Sheng Tang accepted it.
"Yes!" she smiled, "Senior, one should always leave some room for maneuver. Since you’ve been scheming for so many years, you should understand my hardships, right?"
Gu Jiahui’s face instantly turned cold.
Sheng Tang’s words hit his hidden thoughts, stirring up fury within him.
But he forced it down.
"Alright, deal!" After a long silence, Gu Jiahui finally agreed.
Sheng Tang gave him her promise and got the video.
Gu Jiahui didn’t get up, just extended his hand: "Pleasure working with you, Tangtang."
Sheng Tang didn’t shake it but slapped his hand heavily: "Don’t be so distant, who’s Tangtang to you!"
"You’re about to confess to me, do I still need to be distant?" Gu Jiahui laughed, "Besides, I quite want to pursue you myself."
Sheng Tang: "Did a dog bite your head when you were a kid?"
Gu Jiahui: "..."
She turned and walked downstairs.
After she left, Gu Jiahui sat in the attic, a faint smile lingering at the corner of his mouth, feeling that her demeanor just now was very cute.
He slowly stood up and went downstairs.
"What were you two talking about?" Sun Lanlan asked him.
Gu Jiahui said: "Just chatting."
"That huge bouquet of roses you had me order last time, was it for that girl?" Sun Lanlan asked curiously.
Gu Jiahui smiled: "Why do you want to know all the gossip? Your mouth runs like this, and you’re not even middle-aged yet."
Sun Lanlan: "...."
That little brat, wasted all her kindness on him!
"What’s for dinner?" Gu Jiahui dragged over a chair and sat down.
Sun Lanlan was surprised: "You’re having dinner here tonight?"
"My cousin went on a project with the professor, won’t be home for two weeks, so I’m planning to crash here, you have to feed me," Gu Jiahui said.
Sun Lanlan glanced at him: "Spoiling you too much, order takeout yourself."
Then she added, "And order me something too!"
Gu Jiahui: "...."
The calculative Mr. Gu could only silently take out his phone and order takeout for two.
Sun Lanlan was a bit tired, so she went to the back to use the restroom, letting Gu Jiahui watch the shop for a while.
A few young girls passed by the flower shop after work, curiously glanced in, and saw a very handsome young man sitting inside.
He looked like a character right out of a comic book, so delicate and slender, tall and handsome.
He didn’t have the heavy aura of an adult man, but the youthful charm hidden within his exceptional looks was a deadly weapon to women, irresistible from middle school girls to fifty-year-old ladies.
While Sun Lanlan was in the restroom and planning to drink a glass of water, she heard Gu Jiahui’s voice calling: "Sis, five bouquets, come and check out."
