Chapter 711: Do You Hate Me This Much? (11)
His gaze fell on Qiao Lian, and the intention of his words was obvious.
Sun Linan’s pupils shrank as he clenched his fists tightly. Furiously, he glared at Lu Nanze and said, “Second Brother, you really do not care about brotherhood?”
Lu Nanze cast his gaze down and replied, “How do you expect me to care about brotherhood when you yourself do not?”
He looked at Qiao Lian. “Unless we make a deal, the Sun Family will not last five months!”
Qiao Lian’s fingers curled into a tight fist.
She knew what he was going to ask even before he spoke.
For sure, it was going to be something along the lines of a divorce with Shen Liangchuan and returning to him.
She bit her lip.
At this point of the dilemma, Sun Linan had already decided, “Second Brother, let’s have a business fight then.”
The last thing that he, Sun Linan, needed was a woman to defend his family.
Lu Nanze suddenly laughed upon hearing this. He raised his hands and gave a slow applause. “You are truly exemplary! You’d actually sacrifice your family name for a woman! Huh, however, Qiao Lian, are you really not even going to hear my proposal first?”
Qiao Lian narrowed her eyes and paused at his words. “What sort of terms and conditions could you possibly lay down?”
“”My condition is…” he paused as he looked intently at her. After a moment his red lips, that formed a thin and cold line across his face, slowly moved. “I want you to have dinner with me and, on top of that, help me pick out a set of clothes.”
There was no need for Qiao Lian to speak further about this.
What?!
Did she hear wrong?!
Were his conditions that simple?
She frowned and threw Lu Nanze a look of disbelief. “Is that all?”
The man nodded and replied, “That’s all.”
Before she could speak again, one of them quickly said, “Qiao Lian, hurry up and agree to it!”
“Second Brother, I agree on Qiao Lian’s behalf! You two go for dinner, we’ll both take Sun Tzi to the hospital.”
Upon saying this, the two of them stepped forward nimbly, one on each side of Sun Linan, and helped the man up. As Sun Linan made a motion to speak, they hurriedly covered his mouth to silence him and dragged him out of the room.
After they left the room, Sun Linan quietened down.
One of them sighed deeply and said to him, “I really thought that Second Brother had lost his senses. For a moment I really feared for you, but who would have expected… sigh!”
The other one nodded and turned to look back at the private room. “These past years, Second Brother has actually treated us well. I think he just wanted to let this matter go. That condition of his wasn’t really a condition.”
Sun Linan cast his gaze down on hearing their exchange.
Of course, he understood.
He had taken things into his own hands to help Qiao Lian precisely because he hadn’t thought that Second Brother would be so vicious.
His relationship with Second Brother had been considerably good these years, and the latter had been very helpful with the Sun Family.
–
In the private room. Qiao Lian stood before Lu Nanze, looking at the man steadily.
She quickly understood his words. This was his way to bow out of the situation, he didn’t really mean to make things difficult for Sun Linan.
But to have dinner with him…
Qiao Lian looked away.
Lu Nanze was already walking towards the exit. He turned back to look at her. “Let’s go.”
Even if she was unwilling, she had no option but to follow him.
Yet as they walked out of the club, they saw Shen Liangchuan’s lanky frame loitering at the entrance. In that instance, the two men’s eyes met.
