Chapter 604 - 3: My Man Is the Most Capable
So next, Gu Yuan watched as Chi Yu showed all kinds of concern for his daughter, yet didn’t even look at her, creating a polarized scene.Ugh, feeling stuffed.
Forget it, better continue to endure.
Shortly after dinner, Gu Yuan received a call from Sheng Yi. Seeing the father and daughter happily playing together, she grabbed her phone and went outside to answer the call.
"Yiyi, go ahead."
On the other end, Sheng Yi’s voice wasn’t as loud and boisterous as usual, sounding a bit sullen: "Yuanyuan, I’ve already booked a ticket to M Country."
Gu Yuan: "For which day?"
Sheng Yi: "The day after tomorrow."
That’s pretty quick, even faster than Gu Yuan anticipated. Just finished her last task and immediately hurried to M Country, showing how eager Sheng Yi was to see Dao An.
Visa stuff naturally isn’t worth mentioning, and her mood needn’t be asked about; mostly a mix of joy and apprehension. Joy at seeing Dao An soon, worries about many things...
"Have you packed your luggage? Are you bringing much?" Gu Yuan asked some trivial things: "Too much luggage is cumbersome; whatever you need can be prepared when you get there."
Sheng Yi said, "I know," her voice somewhat muffled, "but there’s been a small unexpected complication."
Gu Yuan perked up: "What kind of complication?"
Sheng Yi: "My cousin came."
Gu Yuan raised an eyebrow, wondering what her cousin coming had to do with her going to M Country.
But after a moment’s pause, Gu Yuan quickly remembered that Sheng Yi had mentioned before she had a non-blood-related cousin, who was handsome and a prodigy. Gu Yuan wasn’t sure what he was doing now. But since they weren’t blood-related and, due to various family ties, he was called a cousin, there was eventually talk of marriage alliance between the families.
However, after Sheng Yi entered the entertainment industry, this matter faded away unresolved.
If Sheng Yi hadn’t brought it up on the phone earlier, Gu Yuan would have forgotten about this non-blood-related cousin who almost secured a marriage alliance.
From Sheng Yi’s frustrated tone, Gu Yuan deduced a bit of meaning, thinking with the mindset of enjoying her friend’s gossip: "Could it be... your cousin found out you were going to M Country alone to pursue true love, and his long-hidden affection finally couldn’t be concealed, planning a romantic intervention?"
Sheng Yi: "..."
Don’t say, it does have a bit of that vibe.
"My cousin usually doesn’t contact me and rarely cares about my entertainment career. Somehow my trip to M Country reached him, although even my parents don’t know about it. So a small misstep emerged but my plan to go to M Country hasn’t changed. I’ve already booked the ticket and I’ll depart the day after tomorrow, no one can stop me."
Gu Yuan sensed the intention to ’prevent the romance’.
"Yuanyuan, I need your help. Whether I can successfully reach M Country depends entirely on you."
Help? That implies the cousin carries some weight.
Gu Yuan acknowledged softly, "Whatever you need from me next, just say it. I’ll ensure you depart for M Country smoothly the day after tomorrow."
Sheng Yi felt relief and comforted, finally sighed: "Indeed, having an amazing best friend beats everything else."
After hanging up.
’Buzz-’
The phone vibrated a few times.
A new WeChat message from Sheng Yi.
Gu Yuan opened it, it were several chat screenshots. The screenshots contained a conversation between Sheng Yi and Mrs. Sheng. After reading through, it was clear that the chat records Mrs. Sheng sent Sheng Yi all revolved around the cousin. Essentially, the families planned a meeting but Sheng Yi didn’t want to go, with Mrs. Sheng asking her to do so sensibly.
’Buzz-’
The phone vibrated once more as Sheng Yi sent a last screenshot.
Gu Yuan opened it.
Although it was a chat screenshot, the page contained no replies from Sheng Yi, only a message from the other side:
Cousin: [Yiyi, the trip to M Country is temporarily canceled.]
Such a brief sentence, with strong undertones.
Plus, the way he addressed Sheng Yi.
Seems like the news of her trip to M Country reached his ears, and he can’t hold his composure. Is he planning to take over?
But what was he doing before?!
Besides this message from the other, below was blank; unclear whether Sheng Yi didn’t know how to respond, or purely didn’t want to.
After reading the chat screenshots, Sheng Yi sent a [crying jpg] emoji.
Gu Yuan replied to Sheng Yi: [Send me his contact information and any details you know about him.]
Waited roughly two or three minutes.
’Buzz-’
As the phone vibrated twice, Sheng Yi sent over a direct link to the Baidu Encyclopedia.
Qin Bing - Secretary of ** Hai City...
After reading the Baidu Encyclopedia entry, Gu Yuan couldn’t help but be astounded, indeed he’s highly connected.
A man of such status matches the Quan Yin level, except his authority is slightly lower than Quan Yin.
But neither are easy.
After all, figures of the political sphere are well-known, which explains Sheng Yi’s low spirits.
Sheng Yi: [Yuanyuan, my cousin is currently navigating the political circles in Hai City with substantial influence.]
Sheng Yi is truly worried, with Qin Bing blocking her way, she can’t easily reach M Country.
Gu Yuan contemplated for a moment, temporarily soothed Sheng Yi’s mood: [Focus on preparing for M Country...not sure if my capability is sufficient, but my household certainly possesses the power to ensure you arrive in M Country smoothly.]
